Order From Chaos

 

April 21, 2022

Normally my essays do not need to be read in any particular order, however my last few beginning with “Political Jesus” should be to gain the most from them. When I was a young child I had been thoroughly indoctrinated into my my parent's beliefs, mostly my mother's. She was a Presbyterian and held her belief in the holy trinity close to her heart. Her actions proved her to be a complete hypocrite but that is too often the case with most people. In my mid teens I began attending a Presbyterian church myself, I was desperately trying to find something to hold on to as the situation at home became ever more desperate. In that place I found some true believers, two or three who came to understand their version of Christianity, and a whole bunch who did not have clue one as to what being a christian meant.

It was those clueless individuals who made me, that 15 year old boy feel the most unwelcome there. Though there was nothing overtly said about me, there was more than enough innuendo and dirty looks to make me quit the place. Needless to say that experience left a pretty rotten taste in my mouth that was only worsened by my parent's behaviours. From then I pretty much dropped my quest for some type of spiritual holding point, and for the next 12 years lived in the land of the dead. I ended up marrying Toronto's biggest whore, you know the one, she's got a turnstile and you take a number then you can take caving expeditions in her.

The end of the marriage and the loss of the nanny were pivotal moments for me, I was in Alaska and I hallucinated the nanny on the side of the road, my rational mind knew that she was in Toronto newly married to the piece of dead wood that he always would be, but my emotional side, was screaming in agony at her loss. As horrible as that experience was, it provided the impetus for me to do something about the things that had contributed to her loss. The next five years was a really difficult time, and I came out of it mixed up with the narcissistic

A narcissist is an extremely dangerous individual, if you find yourself involved with one, RUN!!

leprechaun that I spent the next twenty years with; of which I regret almost as much as I regret marrying Toronto's whore.

Some people describe their emotions as being numb, that they feel nothing. For myself it was worse. I was dead inside. I literally had to intellectualize my emotional responses. I had to think about then act out what should be the appropriate response. I was never accused of being phoney, but many thought that I was hollow. This sad state of affairs had been brought about by my mother forcing me to turn myself off so that she did not have to acknowledge my existence. By the time I got with the leprechaun I was in chaos, and had been for as long as I could remember. One of the first things I had to do was learn how to feel again, and that task was made almost impossible because, how do you learn to feel and trust those feelings when you have a narcissist gas-lighting you?

In many ways this job, trucking, made that easier. Being away from home for long stretches of time enabled me to counter her gas-lighting with logic. Unfortunately it too, allowed excessive amounts of time to pass between incidents which allowed a calming effect. Nevertheless when home there was always the last incident's elephant in the room which she would never acknowledge or apologize for, as is the narcissists way of maintaining power and control. Sometimes there are things that you do not know that you do not know, in this case it was the term narcissism, I had always thought that the word was just something that got thrown around like how you might call someone an idiot, or stupid. I had no idea that it was a real word, and that it is a real mental condition for many people. In all honesty, I had thought that her narcissism was just how she fought, and it was mean.

When I first got with her, some had warned me about her, no one had said she was a narcissist and run, but some had said she's “funny”, and not in a good way. I had taken that in and accepted it as people talk, because they do talk about other people. Mostly though I got with her because I was coming at the relationship from a position of weakness, I had spent the previous 31 years in chaos, and I had been terribly wounded by both my marriage, and my hopes for the future had been shattered by the loss of the nanny. For the previous five years I had been stuck in this pus filled hole where my heart just would not heal and I was obsessed with the loss of the nanny, getting with the leprechaun I had thought that I was being relatively smart. She was as opposite to the nanny as is humanly possible, everything about her was different and opposite, from the physical, mental, even spiritual.

The spiritual, when I first met her she was attending this new wave evangelical type church and had just been through her christening, and was as excited about her spirituality as anyone can be. Initially I was pleased for her, spirituality is important I knew. It bugged me that she urged me to accompany her to these church things, and when I would not go, she did not either, for reasons that I did not understand, this behaviour set off soft alarm bells in me.

I think here I can speak for everyone who has been abused. We see the signs, but either can't, or won't accept that its happening. Its gotta be a one off, I'll threaten them with the cops, that'll stop it for next time. Her not going to church had nothing to do with the emotional violence that was coming, it was however a strong indicator of her lack of conviction. Her lifelong tendencies to abandon things that shouldn't have been.

It was a behaviour that she would exhibit for the next twenty years that drove numerous wedges between us. The truth of it was though, that I had no interest in anything that approached a christian ideal towards spiritualism, my awakening would have to wait just a little longer.

The thing with being with her was this, the environments from which I had come from had been full of violence, lies, and anything that could be used against you would be. With her initially, there was none of that, she initially from day one attempted the power and control thing which I brushed aside, and I warned her in no uncertain terms not to try that shit with me, then forgot about it expecting my position to be respected.  

A narcissist has no respect for your boundaries, he/she will lie and cheat to maintain power and control

Needless to say, confronting a narcissist does nothing but trigger them, and so was the case here. From that point forward, instead of her taking normal sized bites out of me, she pursued a policy of taking micro bites and razor blade nicks. Stuff that as an independent activity you brush aside as an annoyance, but over time does an enormous amount of damage.

Trust became a fundamental issue between us, this should have been where I kicked her to the curb but, this was where I had lived for 30 years, so in too many ways being distrustful of a woman was completely normal for me. At this point I was still way too out of touch with my emotional self to make that realization. It would be quite some time yet before I did. During those first five years I continued to do the work that I had promised the hallucinatory nanny that I would do, find a way to change the things that had made me lose her. I continued to hit at least one AA meeting a week when I was home. Going to those meetings though was proving a little problematic, it was not that I found the subject triggering because it was not. It was the reality that I was and had never been an addict, instead I had been trained since birth to think and act like an addict.

And it was this that was getting in my way as I tried to deal with the leprechaun, was my alcoholic thinking making me too sensitive to things that a “normal” person would just brush off? That question as well as the gas-lighting left me in a real quandary. Here I was discovering a type of hell that I had not thought existed, all the time that I had spent with the whore, cow, snake had not prepared me for what was now taking place in my life. Then one night I was sat working on my other blog, Woody Hollow Distributors, which I reference in my first article “Getting Organized It's Been Awhile” and I was working on an article about the Mothman; and the truth of him out of the blue suddenly clicked. As scary serious as he is, he is no more or less, than a pan dimensional influencer as well as a gatekeeper

Now you would be right about now to ask, what in fucks name does a narcissist and a pan dimensional gatekeeper have to do with each other? In answer, on the surface nothing, but let us dig just a little deeper. During the next year or more the theory of how we are here to learn and teach each other slowly developed. I had left the whore, I had nothing more to teach her, and I was happy to finally be rid of her. I then banged around for the next five years a bit lost, kinda feeling like I was sat on a shelf. Then one night I am sat in Mike's coffee shop in London, and my saviour does a strip tease down to his neon pink boxers comes in and I find AA, which is where I met the leprechaun. Alright so nothing truly weird happening so far, except for the person I had been talking to before the strip show.

I had been getting up to leave because I was on my way to work, this guy comes in and very directly walks up to me and announces that he was an ex British Commando with the Marines, SBS (Special Boat Section) to be exact. I knew a little about the world's special forces units (thanks Sly Stallone and Rambo) and knew that these SBS dudes were a tough bunch of hombres. Nevertheless I was not interested in whatever delusion the guy had and I told him to fuck off, The guy looked at me like I had really wounded him and then tottered off, I sat back down to let the guy clear the area, and as I was waiting that is when the strip show dude came in. Sure weird things happen, but two in a row? I figure that commando dude showed up to delay me long enough to meet stripper dude, which eventually allowed me to meet the narcissist. And yes the Mothman influenced SBS dude or caused him to be there.

So the quandary I was in did not matter at all. I had left the whore, lost contact with almost anyone who had known the whore and I, and had had some time to recover and gather strength for whatever layed ahead. At that time I had no real idea of what ego was, other than it was about self, and I definitely had no idea of how my ego needed reorganizing. In fact if you had asked me at the time, I would have told you that I had no self esteem at all and therefore ego was not a problem. Enter the narcissist because as usual I was off course.

I had spent the previous 30 years of my life being rejected by people as a whole, severely disrespected by a number who are supposed to supply you with love and support, all of that designed to crack my ego open, but it did not. Sure I was saddened and wounded, but I always remained the same. So here the universe said, “Christopher, you're not learning, now I'm gonna fuck you up!”, and placed me in front of the narcissist and her wrecking ball, and the complete dismantling of my ego began. Her methods were systematic and insidious, involving everything from how I peeled an apple to my sexuality. I had thought that I was in bad shape back in 1993, that was kindergarten compared to 2017. That said, the universe had achieved it's purpose, I had become ego-less, and was now ready to be put back together properly.

Greater Understandings - Part Two

 

April 10, 2022

This thing called the Holy Grail, how do we best understand it? From where do we enter into the subject and make it our own? Is it just a single thing? Does it only cover a single subject or person? There are purists out there that insist it is just a legend about a cup. Others think that it is about a select group of royalty, while there are those still who think it about a code of service, more confuse it with religion. Speaking for myself, I believe that it is about a vast array of subjects that are tied together in a bewildering array of seemingly disconnected far flung ways.

This is the problem with our society though, this disconnect. If we look at homelessness for instance, it is not just about addiction issues or money. The problem is about those things yes, absolutely. However the problem is exasperated by so many other issues that include the working poor, housing availability, the price of rent, food, utilities, domestic violence, mental health, to name just a few.

Our governments, regardless of what level, see homelessness split into all of those different classifications instead of one complete whole that would truly see real on the ground fixes if approached together as a single problem. As we talked about in our article “Why Me”, we were not physically designed to have our soul's needs separated and compartmentalized.

Put another way, when a military Special Forces unit does a CTR (Close Target Reconnaissance), they collect information down to the smallest detail on the enemy force that they are observing. During the 1970s, a British intelligence unit called The Det, used this method against the IRA to great effect. The SAS (Special Air Service) continue to use this method to this day. During this period of observation, they were searching for patterns of cyclical movement that are notable, and could then be exploited to their advantage. This cycle has a twofold advantage. It firstly is supposed to supply the entrenched force with a tightly secured area. Secondly, it provides the attacking force with information about the gaps in that defence and plans could then be made to use that information to keep the attackers covert for a longer period of time. In other words, cycles allow for better information gathering and use. It is because of this, that I have chosen to try to gather as much information about as many different aspects of the Grail as I can.

It is fascinating though that the Grail seems to have so many different entry points. When I was a 10 year old child my introduction to it was, through my Dad's friend Capon, and it was about Christ. Then years later, my reintroduction came by learning about space aliens called Annunaki. Then it got really exciting because of Jesus's royal descent from these Annunaki. Then it became mind blowing because Jesus was not a Christian but was a Jew who worshipped a space alien called El Shaddai/Enlil. For some years I was kind of stuck on trying to figure out what, or who, the Annunaki worshipped. During my early investigations it seemed that Thothmes, and his Hermetics was kind of a new thing. It took some time to figure out that what Enki and Enlil called the concept of God, was a thing called All. This All was what Thothmes calls the Universe, which I call Kundalini energy.

But before I could even begin to understand any of that, I had to continue to pull apart the church's indoctrination, and that is a tough job. In universal time the church is but an eye blink old, just a little over 1700 years, but in that time they have managed to cement such a load of absolute bullshit into the human spiritual psyche, that it is extremely difficult to separate their lies from the truth. The truth though is attainable, it exists in the form of baked clay tablets that have the written Sumerian cuneiform script all over them, through documents like the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the Nag Hammadi Codices. It's even possible that there are confirming truths in the Vatican secret archives. Though I sometimes wonder about that, does a smart and dangerous criminal keep incriminating evidence in his home? The Mafia doesn't. Though back in the late 15^th and early 16^th centuries the Catholic Church gave us the House of Borgia as two Popes, and we might as well call them a Mafia family. And yes the Borgias were real, and one of their descendants became president of Ecuador in 1988. It is a shame that the church keeps showing itself to be a shit house, but this is what happens when you try to build on sand, the foundation keeps giving way and the structure above collapses, usually catastrophically, and despite the church's best efforts, this will yet happen. The common inimitable image of Christ, white, is a Borgia. 

A comparison between what white Americans want Christ to look like, and the more likely what he really looked like.

As I have said, in order to understand our true spirituality, we must disavow the institutional dogmatism that we have been force fed for the last 1,700 years. In doing so, we learn things about Christ, and his people that at first seems very unlikely, but we must remember that their customs were around for a very long time, much longer than the institution that replaced them. The Grail is not a church, it has no popes, no bishops, no priests, or shamans. It is a personal journey regarding our own growth. The priestly structures explained in previous articles show us that their functions were very different from those that we are familiar with in our time. They were devoted to a different kind of God, yes some of it was about El Shaddai/Enlil, but much more of it was about knowledge. When we look at the priest of Levi,

the word Levi stems from the word levite, which in turn is a shortened term for the word levitation.  Yes levitation, one of the properties of MFKZT is that it has anti-gravity properties. Not only can the mono-atomic white powder weigh less than nothing, while in that state, it also causes whatever type of vessel it is being weighed in to also weigh less than nothing. This principle of gold was well understood by the Levite priests of Jesus's day, just as it was in the time of Moses and extending backwards to King Alalu's arrival on earth. The bible has almost nothing to do with religion and has everything to do with this incredibly complex awe inspiring exotic material mono-atomic gold. White Powder Gold

The church tries to tell us that Jesus was a simple carpenter, afraid not, he was a master craftsmen who worked the secrets of MFKZT, see our article “MFKZT The Jesus Connection”. Read Here

So what the hell does this have to do with the kingly code of service that Christ and every monarch since is supposed to follow?! We were created to be slaves, to wear the yoke of Enlil. It was one of our jobs to procure the gold for our creators, this we did for about 150,000 years. Then Noah's flood

happened and things changed for the better. After the flood kingship was lowered from heaven, meaning that human kings were chosen by the Annunaki who had close bloodline connections to Enki, so that these men were real royalty. In the beginning these kings simply interceded between us the Annunaki, as time passed and trust grew these kings were able to deflect some of the harshness of the Annunaki away from us. It was this behaviour plus lessons learned from the Annage that eventually lead to the creation of the Grail Code of Service.

 

Much has been made of Jesus washing the feet of his apostles, unquestionably this is a true humble act of service, but he was not the first grail king to do so.

 Think about this picture, none of the men in it are dressed as peasants. All of them are in rich robes of nobility.

This simple act was done from the start, just imagine, you have been at it the whole day long, hard physically gruelling work and all you have had on your feet the day long is sandals. Your feet are tired, sore, and very dirty. Imagine the pleasure and honour you feel as your king shows up to wash your feet, so you do not get sand, and dirt, and rocks and things in your bed.

The church would have us believe that Jesus did this out of some sense of higher purpose love, but let us remember who Jesus was, he was the Messiah, the Supreme Military Commander of Israel. Just as is the case with his angels, here is another case where there are double meanings. Yes Jesus washed the feet of his apostles out of a sense of service, too he did it to garner loyalty. If we look at it in a more modern way, sports recruiters and military generals have always used sex, access to illicit drugs, even homosexuality to garner loyalty. In the case of Christ and his Essenes, he could not use sex as it was a semi celibate community, so other means had to be found.

Serenity

 

March 7, 2022

We began this fantastic grail journey by learning about the chaos that was my early years. We spent quite a bit of time there because it taught us about how the universe works, the whys and hows of the shit we go through. As we continued our quest we further learned about a wandering exoplanet that joined our solar system and seeded our earth with life, then it's lifeforms from there, jump started our evolution. We have since learned something about their character, the arrogance they displayed when dealing with us, and treating us as fodder in their wars with each other. We too, have learned that our creation and the reasons for it are very different from those that we have been taught. And it's those learned explanations that have caused no end of trouble, because they disappoint, and fail to answer the question honestly or completely.

As I have related numerous times, there was a fundamental change in how we were taught about the universe and how it works. This took place about 300 years after the mis-adventures of Jesus Christ. With the hijacking of Jesus's, then James's Church of Jerusalem, our then-known concepts of spiritualism and astronomy, and just about everything else took a long frightening trip into darkness. If you want to split hairs, some say the dark ages only lasted about 400 years. Technically this is correct but, if you want to include the backwardness, and ignorance of the church, the dark ages lasted well into the reformation and well into the 1500s A.D. when it became possible to separate the church and science.

Separation of Church and Science. The Concept of Separating Church and State (or Religion and Science)

The idea of separating church and state—or more broadly, religion and science—suggests that these two domains of human experience should operate independently, each with its own sphere of influence and authority. The goal of this separation is to prevent either realm from exerting undue control over the other, thereby fostering a society where both religious freedom and scientific inquiry can thrive.

1. Distinct Domains

Religion:
Primarily concerns itself with matters of faith, spirituality, morality, and the supernatural. It is often grounded in revealed truths, tradition, and personal belief.

Science:
Seeks to understand the natural world through empirical observation, experimentation, and rational analysis.

2. Historical Context

Throughout history, there have been periods of tension and conflict between religious institutions and scientific progress—particularly when religious doctrines were treated as scientific facts or when scientific discoveries challenged established religious beliefs.
The modern concept of a clear separation between the two began to take shape during the Enlightenment and has gained prominence in contemporary discourse.

3. Arguments for Separation

• Protecting religious freedom:
  A clear separation prevents the state from imposing religious beliefs on its citizens and ensures that individuals are free to practice their faith without interference.

• Safeguarding science:
  It shields scientific inquiry from religious dogma, allowing for open exploration and the advancement of knowledge based on evidence.

• Promoting pluralism:
  Separation creates space for a diversity of beliefs and perspectives to coexist, fostering a more inclusive and tolerant society.

4. Different Perspectives

• Strict separation:
  Some argue that religion and science are fundamentally different in method and purpose and should remain entirely distinct.

• Dialogue and interaction:
  Others advocate for a more integrated approach, suggesting that collaboration between religious and scientific communities—especially in areas like ethics and social responsibility—can be beneficial.

• Compatibility:
  Some believe that certain religious worldviews can align with scientific understanding and that the two together can offer a more holistic view of reality.

5. Ongoing Debate

The question of how religion and science should relate remains a subject of ongoing debate. Discussions continue around where to draw the line between the two, and whether their interaction leads to conflict or constructive engagement.
In practice, the separation of church and state—or religion and science—is rarely absolute. Its application often varies across cultures and societies, reflecting differing historical and philosophical contexts.

After the Christian church's creation when Emperor Constantine appointed himself the first pope, the church has spent the last 1,700 years tweaking what it believes, how it should be taught, and who is worthy for it to be taught to. This became most problematic because it caused the church to splinter into Protestants, Presbyterians, Baptists, Lutherans, and god only knows how many other sects. Each of these denominations teach the bible a little differently, a comma here instead of there, this word could mean this but we prefer it to mean that instead. And what we end up with is, a mish-mash of belief systems that does not please anyone.

As I have said elsewhere, throughout my teens, and well into my twenties, I struggled hard to find something to believe in as a higher power. Because of the chaos that I found in the bible, most sermons to me were no God thing but white noise. It was not just that it was a case of this book chapter and verse went with that book, chapter and verse, it was the stories, parables and meanings assigned to them that did not make sense. Then there was the basic question of numbers. The bible was about god, why was it that after 1,300 years of our 5005 year history does He disappear out of the book, then reappear as himself as a fucked up trilogy with an entirely different character? In the Old Testament, is mean, cruel even, the New Testament has Him all about love and turning the other cheek, something his old self would never have done. This thing called the Bible was some piece of messed up work, and for a long time that is where I left it.

So, what does all of this have to do with serenity? In a word, everything, because it left me in a position where I was open-minded enough to consider other possibilities. The bible tells us that god is a jealous god, all that really says is that He does not want us worshipping other gods. In no way does that say that we can not, or should not try to find out more about him. In our article “El Shaddai Is Enlil” Read Here we found out who god is, but what about the other god, the lovey dovey god? For 1,645 years crucial information about Jesus was hidden in earthen jars, the Dead Sea Scrolls

The Dead Sea Scrolls. 

The Dead Sea Scrolls are a remarkable collection of ancient Jewish manuscripts discovered between 1947 and 1956 in caves near Qumran, along the northwestern shore of the Dead Sea. Dating from the 3rd century BCE to the 1st century CE, the scrolls include fragments from every book of the Hebrew Bible—except Esther—as well as a variety of non-biblical writings such as commentaries, prayers, and community rules.

Key Aspects of the Dead Sea Scrolls:

• Discovery: Unearthed in eleven caves near Qumran, beginning in 1947.

• Dating: Most scrolls originate from the 2nd and 1st centuries BCE, though the full range spans from the 3rd century BCE to the 1st century CE.

• Content: In addition to biblical fragments, the scrolls include sectarian texts believed to be linked to the Essenes, a Jewish sect thought to have lived in the area.

• Significance: Considered one of the most important archaeological discoveries of the 20th century, the scrolls shed light on the religious beliefs, practices, and diversity of ancient Judaism. They also provide critical context for understanding the origins of Christianity and include the oldest known versions of biblical texts.

• Physical Characteristics: Primarily written on parchment and papyrus, with one scroll made of copper.

• Interpretation: Scholars continue to debate the origins and authorship of the scrolls. While many associate them with the Essenes, others propose they were produced by a broader range of Jewish groups in the Second Temple period.

• and the Nag Hammadi codices.

The Nag Hammadi Codices are a collection of 13 ancient books (codices) discovered in 1945 near the town of Nag Hammadi in Upper Egypt. These texts—over 50 in total—include early Christian and Gnostic writings that offer profound insights into the development of early Christianity, especially its more mystical and esoteric branches.

Here’s a closer look at their significance:

• Discovery: The codices were accidentally uncovered by local farmers, buried in a sealed jar near Nag Hammadi.

• Content: They contain a diverse range of texts, including Gnostic gospels, apocalyptic revelations, philosophical discourses, and spiritual treatises.

• Importance: Widely considered one of the most important manuscript discoveries of the 20th century, the codices provide a window into early Christian diversity and the rise of Gnostic thought—perspectives largely suppressed or lost after the institutionalization of orthodoxy.

• Dating: The manuscripts themselves are dated to the mid-4th century CE, though the original compositions likely stem from the 2nd and 3rd centuries.

• Gnostic Gospels: Key texts include the Gospel of Thomas, Gospel of Philip, and Gospel of Truth—works once thought to be lost or destroyed during the Church’s efforts to define doctrinal orthodoxy.

• Language: The texts are written in Coptic, the Egyptian language of the time, using a script derived from Greek.

• Monastic Connection: Scholars believe the codices may have belonged to a nearby monastic community and were deliberately hidden—possibly in response to a 367 CE Easter letter by Bishop Athanasius, which condemned the reading of non-canonical books.

With their discovery, analyses, and translation they throw an entirely different light on the life of Jesus and it turns out he was not so lovey dovey after all. In fact, we find out that instead of being some hapless sap who gets murdered, he was the Supreme Military Commander of Israel's armed insurrection against Rome! This information all of a sudden clarifies why his descent from the Royal House of David is so important, and why he was of such interest to the politicos of both Israel and Rome. It also sheds light on this “new” god doctrine of love.

Sure it is good advise to love thy neighbour, and to turn the other cheek, and Jesus seriously meant it because he needed his countrymen to unite, to forget their petty squabbles and truly come together as one so they could defeat Rome. In practice this is what we are seeing in Ukraine today. In learning about what Christ really was, we get context, which enables us to dive deeper into exactly what he thought and believed. The church does not give us that option. I mean, they were so unimaginative that they did not even include a single cute little story about Christ as a child god getting mad at mom or dad and say ... levitating them. Something that a child would find endearing and would help a child feel closer to this created deity. Instead for most of us, what a child learns in Sunday School is about fear, David and Goliath, Moses and Pharaoh, Job, and scariest of all, child sacrifice. Speaking for myself, as a child none of that provided any kind of sense of serenity.

Learning to see and understand the New Testament's double speak, the Essene code, it becomes clearthat Jesus was no push over, and his parables are real lessons meant to teach us Lepers a whole new way of seeing the universe and coming to their way and light. The Essenes were well versed in medicine, and in other articles, we will learn how they used those skills to save Christ's life during the crucifixion. Those skills were brought from Egypt which was Enki's realm, and Thoth, who was Enki's second born son, taught Hermetics. As we have discovered, Hermetics is about vibration and frequency, about auras-the light, Jesus's teaching were indeed about him showing us the way to the light.

As you can imagine, and it may be what you are experiencing now, but initially this information was mind blowing, and I was literally jumping up and down in both excitement and fear. Fear - you know, the whole going to hell thing. But that soon subsided to be replaced by a type of quiet confidence An inner surety that I understood something most profound, something that the church, and all of it's followers would be incapable of seeing no matter what evidence was placed before them. And at first realizing this, it made me both angry and sad. As my understanding of what the Catholic Church was increased, I would often go into long anti-catholic tirades while out in public, and I undoubtedly offended more than a few Catholics while I was at it. In many ways it was unfair of me to do so, however, I believed then, as I do now, that the church must be held to account for it's crimes against humanity. However, as our article “Pontific Arrogance” says, this is very unlikely to ever happen.

The one thing that gives me a measure of peace about it all is this, if and when the Annunaki ever return and actually make meaningful contact with us, and the Pope asks them who their God is, I will die from laughter when the Annage representative says to the Pope, we are your god you idiot! That will be a tough day for believers and non believers alike. I would think that the unbelievers would benefit from such an encounter, because then they may find some spiritual hope, that hope may come from what the Annage themselves believe. That took me an awfully long time to figure out, between the church's nonsense about heaven and hell, Egyptian mummies, the Egyptian Book of the Dead, and the weirder question, do our primates have an afterlife? About that particular question, I do not know if it's answerable, about heaven and hell, well that is relatively easy to answer. Hell is an invented thing that was only introduced to us in second century A.D. The concept of heaven is a borrowed thing, it came from Jame's Church of Jerusalem which was based in Hermetics. So what about mummies, and books of the dead, and coins to pay to get over the River Styx?

Gilgamesh who was a Demi God, (half human and half Annunaki) was obsessed with the Annunaki's seeming immortality, he set himself on a quest to achieve it. What he got instead was a series of mis-adventures that resulted in him living a very long life, but to his great disappointment, he did not achieve immortality. I believe that there was something similar going on with the Pharaohs, as with most men, great power corrupts. Pharaoh wanted the seeming immortality of his god(s), yes he understood the principles of Hermetics, but that was the realm of his priests, he wanted something he could see, smell ,touch and taste. Mummification was a process, and it took quite some time to perfect, making it clear that this was an added thing, an appeasement. If you read “The Egyptian Book of the Dead”, it is an odd mixture of both mumbo jumbo, and principles of Hermetics, equally an added thing.

Serenity, it came with the answers to these mysteries and so many more. This incredible journey allowed my mind to slow, to distract itself from the hell of always being in survival mode. To offer respite from the horrible burning of my resurrection, my rebirth, the one that Jesus taught, not the silliness of what the church teaches where he comes back as some kind of zombie. His teachings do indeed heal the Lepers.

Zombie Jesus. The term "Zombie Jesus" is sometimes used jokingly to refer to Jesus’s resurrection in Christian theology, especially when comparing it to the idea of coming back from the dead like zombies in popular culture. However, Christian theology does not describe Jesus’s resurrection as a zombie-like existence. Instead, it is understood as a unique event where Jesus conquers death and offers new life to believers.

Here’s a breakdown of the concept:

Zombies in Popular Culture:
Zombies are typically portrayed as reanimated corpses driven by a hunger for flesh or brains, lacking consciousness or personality.

Jesus’s Resurrection:
In Christianity, Jesus’s resurrection is seen as a supernatural event where He rises from the dead with a transformed, glorified body—not a decaying one—and then ascends to heaven.

The "Zombie Jesus" Joke:
This term is a lighthearted, sometimes irreverent, comparison between the resurrection and the zombie trope, often used around Easter, when the resurrection is celebrated.

Key Differences:
The main difference is in the nature of the resurrected state. Zombies are depicted as destructive undead beings, whereas Jesus’s resurrection represents victory over death and the promise of eternal life for believers.

Guardians of the Grail

 

March 30, 2022

We left our last article just scratching the surface of our look at angels, let us now delve a little deeper. We know the difference between a regular angel   and an archangel, I don't believe that there are female Archangels That's the mainstream view in most Abrahamic traditions, though it depends on which tradition you're asking about. In the Bible, the only angels specifically named are Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael (Raphael appears in the Book of Tobit, which is considered canonical by Catholics and Orthodox Christians but not by most Protestants). All are referred to using masculine names and grammar. No archangel is explicitly identified as female.

Here's how different traditions generally view it:

• Christianity: The recognized archangels (Michael, Gabriel, and in some traditions Raphael) are not described as female. Angels are generally understood to be spiritual beings without biological sex, even though they often appear in masculine form when interacting with humans.

• Judaism: Similar to Christianity, named archangels such as Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel (in some traditions) are presented with masculine names and roles. Angels are spiritual beings rather than male or female in a biological sense.

• Islam: Angels, including Jibril (Gabriel) and Mikail (Michael), are not considered male or female. The Qur'an specifically rejects the pre-Islamic Arabian belief that angels were God's daughters (Qur'an 37:149–153; 53:27).

So where do female archangels come from?

The idea of female archangels is primarily found in:

• New Age spirituality.

• Modern esoteric traditions.

• Some occult and metaphysical systems. 

Names such as Ariel (often portrayed as female in New Age literature), Charity, Faith, or Sophia are sometimes described as female archangels or angelic beings. These depictions are not based on the biblical canon or the traditional teachings of Judaism, Christianity, or Islam.

One point of confusion is Sophia, the Greek word for "wisdom." In some early Christian and Gnostic writings, Sophia is personified as feminine, but she is not an archangel in orthodox Christian theology. So if you're asking from the standpoint of traditional biblical Christianity, your understanding is consistent with mainstream doctrine: there are no female archangels named or described in Scripture, and the recognized archangels are presented with masculine identities or names, even though angels themselves are generally understood to be spiritual beings rather than biological males or females

and we know that either could arrive by what can only be mechanical means. Some call Cherubim angels, you know, those things that were mounted on the Ark of the Covenant. This seems to be something of a misnomer, a document from the third century A.D. entitled “The Origin”, describes the immortal Sophia and the ruler Saboath creating a great throne on a four faced chariot called Cherubim... and on that throne he created some other dragon shaped seraphims.

Seraphim. The word "seraphim" is a Hebrew term (שְׂרָפִים, śərāfîm) that means "burning ones" or "fiery ones." It comes from the root śāraph, meaning “to burn.” In the Hebrew Bible, particularly in Isaiah 6, seraphim are celestial beings associated with fire, worship, and the divine presence.

Sumerian Translation?

Sumerian is a much older language than Hebrew, and the concept of “seraphim” does not have a direct linguistic or theological counterpart in the Sumerian pantheon. However, we can explore possible equivalents or analogs:

Term	Language	Meaning	Notes
Seraphim	Hebrew	"Burning ones" (fiery angelic beings)	Described in Isaiah as having six wings, worshipping God
zi-sag or zi-sag-gi-na	Sumerian	“Righteous shining spirit”	A term used for divine or pure spirits
Anunna (Anunnaki)	Sumerian	"Those of royal blood" / “Princes of Heaven”	A group of high-ranking deities who dwell in the heavens and underworld
udug	Sumerian	A spirit, often malevolent but sometimes benevolent	Udug-hul = "evil demon"; udug can also be a divine agent
gallu	Sumerian	Underworld demon or divine messenger	Gallu demons were said to drag people to the underworld

Closest Conceptual Equivalent?

If you are looking for a mythological analogue to the seraphim in Sumerian belief:

• Anunnaki or Igigi (heavenly beings, often attending the high gods) could be seen as analogues in function (serving or attending deities), though not in form or imagery (no fire or burning described).

• Udug or gallu spirits could possibly resemble the fearsome, powerful nature of seraphim, but they’re often darker in tone.

Conclusion:

There is no direct Sumerian translation of “seraphim” because the concept is uniquely Hebrew and part of later Semitic angelology. However, depending on your emphasis—fire, divinity, heavenly servitude, or fearsome power—some Sumerian entities might be used as functional analogues in comparative mythology.

Genesis 3:24 says that the lord stationed cherubims (chariots or mobile thrones) and a sword of fire to protect the Garden of Eden. In a Greek work called The Hypostasis of the Archons, it deals with the rulers of entirety and the creation of Adam, it too calls a heavenly chariot a cherubim. 2 Kings 2:11 says Elijah is taken up in a chariot of fire, so too is described in the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh. So what we can ascertain from this is, cherubim and their auxiliaries seraphim have never been described as human, as angels have been. In all honesty, it was the fearful Roman establishment that transformed the cherubims and seraphims into adoring celestial putti.

Without exception, all the angels in the New Testament were male and their appointments to angelic office were strictly dynastic. The Book of Enoch was written in the second century B. C., it forecast the restoration of the Messianic dynasties, and laid down ground rules for the structure of the priestly hierarchy. Included was the premise that successive dynastic heads should carry the names of the traditional angels and archangels to denote rank and position.

In the days of King David, the senior priests in order of precedence were Zadok, Abiathar, and Levi, the Essenes at Qumran preserved their priestly heritage by using using those names as titles, badges of rank, the Zadok dynast was also Michael, the Abiathar was Gabriel, and Levi, was Sariel. With this in mind, it changes how we look at Archangel Michael's battle with the dragon in Revelation 12:7, we can now see that it corresponds to the conflict between the Zadokite succession and the beast of blasphemy – imperial Rome. The second beast is that of the rigidly strict regime of the Pharisees who thwarted the ambitions of the Hellenist Jews by segregating Jews from gentiles. This is the beast to which is attributed the number 666, Revelation 13:8 which is the numerically evaluated polar opposite to the spiritual energy of water in the solar force – kundalini.

Priests of the high orders were required to remain celibate, trainee priests were therefore in limited supply and were often raised within a monastic system from within the communities illegitimate sons. Because of Jesus's date of birth, and the controversy surrounding it, he could have very well been raised in the same manner. Conversely, the dynastic heads of both Kingly and priestly successions were required to marry to perpetuate their lines. If for instance the Zadok wanted to have children, he would suspend himself from his priestly duties and turn them over to another, then when those conjugal urges where done, he would then return to his duties as a celibate.

The Zadok Michael in the early gospels was Zacharias, Elizabeth's husband, his priestly deputy was the Abiathar/ Gabriel Simeon. Zack's conjugal visit is very veiled in Luke 1:15-23, his being speechless in the temple meant that he could not speak in his professional capacity. The child that resulted from their union was John the Baptist, who in time succeeded as the Zadokite head.

The head of the Levi priests during Jesus's early ministry was Jonathan Annas. As head of the Levite dynasty he held the third archangelic rank of Sariel, as such he was the King's priest. There were other supreme archangels, Michael the Zadok, Gabriel the Abiathar, Sariel the Levi, as well as a few more who were not dynastic, they were known as, Father, Son, and Spirit. The Father was the equivalent of the Roman Pope – Papa – Father. The Roman church having stolen the term from it's original Jewish source. The position of Father was elective which precluded that title holder from certain other duties. An example is, when Jonathan Annas became the Father, his brother Mathew (the apostle) became his successor as head of the Levite priests, and so Mathew became the Levi of Alphaeus.

The Levites acted as subordinates to the archangels, at their head but junior to the Levi dynast was a chief priest, a bit different from a high priest. He was designated angelically as Raphael. His senior priests were styled in accordance with the original sons of Levi Genesis 29:34 and were named Kohath, Gershon, and Merari. The next priest in seniority was Amram, Moses, and the priestess Miriam. They were senior to Nabad, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithmar – the representative sons of Aaron.

It is at this point that primary aspects of the Grail Code begins to emerge. The heir to the Davidic kingly line held no angelic title, and was not in priestly service. The King's express duty was/is to serve the people, and to champion them against establishment injustices. The name David means beloved, as a beloved servitor and champion of his people Jesus would have made a fine king. One of Jesus's problems was that the lay people could not appreciate his humble code of service as demonstrated in John 13:4-11. Such a charitable action is not the mark of a power seeking dynast, but is a shining example of a type of common fatherhood in the nature of true Grail kingship.

The gospels can not be read as Historically accurate, they tell the story of Jesus as a kind of narrative, sometimes that narrative agrees with other gospels and sometimes not. Either way, Jesus was the focal point of the message. However, not all of those messages were for everyone's ears, as we have seen. Sometimes Jesus went to great lengths to hide his messages in plain sight, just as he hid his angels in plain sight. Jesus spoke in parables, simplifying his message with allegorical talks that basically painted pictures so that his words would be more easily understood. The majority of Jesus's activities were cleverly disguised within the context of diversionary stories, so that those with ears to hear would understand, and those without, not. Clearly the church has never understood their deified human and his true message.

The Gospels contain numerous symbolic elements that have distorted their understanding to this day. These distortions have turned into the accepted church dogma of today. We have already encountered one such distortion, the fishers of men, another is in John 2:1-10 the water to wine incident at Cana. This was Jesus's and the Magdalene's wedding, Jesus had been brought up in the strict environment of the Essene community, nevertheless he realized that Rome could not be defeated while extremes of competitive doctrines existed within the Jewish community as a whole. Remember that Christianity had not yet been created during his lifetime, he was a Jew and his religion was Judaism, and all Jews worshipped El Shaddai/Enlil. Jesus aspired to share the Jewish God with Gentiles because he needed allies.

Jesus was a Hellenist – westernized, and although the Baptist had baptized him, he did not share his views. 

Hellenistic Jews. Hellenistic Judaism refers to a form of Judaism that developed within the Greek-speaking world during the Hellenistic period, roughly from 323 BCE to 31 BCE. It is marked by the integration of Greek language, culture, and philosophy with traditional Jewish religious practices. This movement arose during the era of Second Temple Judaism and spans the period from the conquests of Alexander the Great to the eventual fall of the Jerusalem Temple.

Key Characteristics

Cultural Synthesis:
Hellenistic Judaism represents a blending of Jewish religious beliefs with elements of Greek culture and intellectual life. This synthesis created a unique expression of Jewish identity that was both faithful to its roots and open to external influences.

Greek Language:
Greek became the dominant language among many Jewish communities in the Diaspora, serving not only for everyday communication but also for religious texts and philosophical discourse.

Geographic Dispersion:
This form of Judaism flourished especially in Diaspora communities, most notably in cities such as Alexandria (Egypt) and Antioch (Syria), where Jewish populations interacted closely with Greek-speaking societies.

Engagement with Philosophy:
Hellenistic Jews actively engaged with Greek philosophical schools, particularly Platonism and Stoicism, in their efforts to harmonize Jewish theology with broader intellectual trends.

Influence on Early Christianity:
Many early Christian thinkers, including Paul the Apostle, were shaped by Hellenistic Jewish thought, making this movement a significant bridge between Judaism and emerging Christian theology.

Historical Context

Alexander the Great's Conquests:
The expansion of the Greek empire under Alexander the Great spread Hellenistic culture across the Mediterranean and Near East, bringing Jewish communities into closer contact with Greek traditions.

Second Temple Judaism:
Hellenistic Judaism unfolded within the larger framework of Second Temple Judaism — a period that began with the return from Babylonian exile and concluded with the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE.

The Septuagint:
One of the most important outcomes of this period was the Septuagint — a Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible. It reflects the linguistic and cultural shift of many Jews in the Diaspora and their desire to make scripture accessible to Greek-speaking audiences.

Notable Figures

Philo of Alexandria:
A leading Jewish philosopher of the time, Philo sought to reconcile Jewish scripture with Greek philosophical thought. He is known for his allegorical interpretations of the Bible and his efforts to bridge the two traditions.

The Apostle Paul:
Although a Christian figure, Paul’s background as a Hellenistic Jew is evident in his writings, which blend Jewish theology with Hellenistic rhetorical style and philosophical ideas.

Significance

Cultural Bridging:
Hellenistic Judaism played a crucial role in mediating between Jewish and Greek worlds. It enabled the transmission of Jewish religious ideas to non-Jewish audiences and, in turn, incorporated external cultural insights into Jewish thought.

Religious and Intellectual Influence:
The philosophical and theological currents shaped by Hellenistic Judaism left a lasting mark not only on Judaism but also on the foundations of early Christian doctrine.

Understanding Jewish Diversity:
Studying this period offers valuable insights into the diversity and adaptability of Jewish life and thought in antiquity, highlighting how Jewish identity could evolve while retaining its core commitments.

Jesus had little or no patience for religious factions like the Pharisees, he had one mission and that was liberation. He knew that his people could not be freed from their oppressors until until they had freed themselves from their own sectarianism. He also knew that that the prophesied Messiah was due at that time, and was expected to usher in a new era of deliverance, and as the heir to the Royal Davidic Bloodline, he was the man to do it and that should surprise no one.

  At his wedding at Cana, it's interesting that he hesitated, saying that “mine hour is not yet come”, this refers to the fact that he was not yet anointed. His mother Mary waived his lack of entitlement aside and told the servants to “Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it”. The water into wine only appears in the Gospel of John, and it is supposed to be the first of his “miracles”. As the church so often misquotes it, it is not they ran out of wine at the wedding, the text really says, “And when they wanted wine the mother of Jesus saith unto him, they have no wine”. The Dead Sea Scrolls tell us that only fully initiated celibates presided over by a priest were allowed to partake of wine. All others were regarded as unsanctified and were restricted to a purifying ritual with water, these included married men, novices, gentiles, and all lay Jews. The Gospel continues, “There were six water pots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews”. The thing of it that made the event so special is this, Jesus ignored normal tradition and allowed “unclean” outsiders to partake of the wine because what was really happening here was, communion. Most people believe that communion is a church ritual, it is not, it is a ritual that is an age old tradition with the Essenes and was appropriated by the church.

JC and the Wise Guys

 

March 21, 2022

Simon a recruiter for Jesus's rebel army. "Fishers of men" is a phrase from the Bible, used by Jesus to describe his disciples’ mission to spread the message of faith and draw people toward God. It emphasizes an active, intentional effort to share the gospel—reaching out rather than waiting for others to come.

The sons of Zebedee, the sons of thunder, this is but one example of the code that the Essene used, Thunder and Lightening were the titles of two high ranking ministers of the sanctuary. The symbolic titles came from the events at Mt Sinai, as described in Exodus 19:16 when thunder and lightening enveloped the mountain and Moses went to meet El Shaddai/Enlil. Thunder was a guy known to Jesus as Johnathan Annas, the son of Ananus, the Sadducee high priest from A.D. 6 – 15. His political rival Lightening was known as Simon Magus the chief of the Samaritan Magi, he was known by several different names, the most common coming from the gospels, Simon the Canaanite. Both of these men were not the literal sons of Ananus, instead they were the spiritual sons (deputies/helpers) of the Ananus priest, they were also being instructed by Simon who held the highest patriarchal office, that of the Father.

Here we are presented with a very different picture of the Apostles, the question for me was, why were they presented as fishermen? As it turns out, for the Essenes, the symbolism of fishing was part of the ritual of baptism. Gentiles who wanted to convert to the Essenes way, could not be baptized in water, although they could join Jewish baptismal candidates in the sea, they could only receive priestly blessings after they had been hauled aboard the fishing boats in large nets. This action was symbolic in that, it both raised the individual from symbolic death (by drowning) and, resurrected them as they received the blessing from the priests. The priests who performed the blessings were called Fishers. Both Simon and Andrew were net haulers, and Jesus promised them both a promotion of sorts when in Mark 1:17 Jesus says: “I will make you to become fishers of men”.

Biblical Origin

The phrase appears in the Gospels (Matthew 4:18–22, Mark 1:16–20, Luke 5:2–11, and John 1:40–42), where Jesus calls fishermen to become his disciples, saying, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."

Metaphorical Meaning

Jesus used the familiar image of casting nets to illustrate how his followers would “catch” people—not for profit, but for spiritual transformation and inclusion in the kingdom of God.

Active Mission

This calling involves deliberate acts: inviting others to church, sharing personal testimonies, living out Christian values, and collaborating in evangelism. It’s not about passivity but about showing up, reaching out, and engaging hearts.

Beyond Conversion

Being a fisher of men is not merely about conversion numbers. It’s about helping others enter a deeper relationship with God—nurturing faith, building trust, and offering a lived example of spiritual life.

A Lifelong Practice

Just as fishermen repair and recast their nets, disciples are called to keep sharing their faith through perseverance, even after setbacks and discouragement.

Leaders of Men

In some interpretations, “fishers of men” also means “leaders of men”—those who guide others not just toward belief, but toward a transformed way of living—leading men to the Essene Way.

As these truths reveal themselves, it becomes glaringly obvious that these twelve men were not just regular plain old young men who were swept away after hearing Jesus talk about stuff. Simon Magnus was the head of the West Manasseh Magi, a priestly caste of Samaritan philosophers who supported the legitimacy of Jesus. It was these men who were the fabled wise men at Bethlehem. 

The star of which no one has has ever properly explained is , Nibiru

We know from manuscripts about his life, that he was interested in Cosmology, Magnetism, Levitation, and Psychokinesis. He was also a freedom fighter against the Romans, his name as such was, Simon Kananites – Greek the fanatic. This was mis-translated to become Canaanite.

Judas Iscariot was chief of the scribes, it was under his watchful eye that the Dead Sea Scrolls were produced. Judas was head of the East Manasseh Magi, he too advocated for war against Rome. The Romans called him Sicarius - the assassin. A sica was a curved dagger. 

Lebbaeus Thaddaeus is described as a son of Alphaeus, he too was called Judas Theudas in two of the gospels. He was an influential leader of the community and was another Zealot commander. For more than fifty years, since 9 B.C. Thaddaeus was head of the Therapeutate, an ascetic order that evolved during the Egyptian occupation of Qumran. He was a compatriot of Jesus's father Joseph, and took part in the rising against Pontius Pilate in A.D. 32. 

James, said to be another son of Alphaeus, was actually Jonathan Annas, leader of the Thunder party. The name James is an English variant of the name Jacob, and the nominal style of Jacob (James) was Jonathan's patriarchal entitlement. Just as the names of the angels and archangels were preserved within the higher priesthood, so too were the Jewish patriarchal names preserved by the community elders. They were led by a triumvirate of appointed officials to whom were applied the titular names Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Mathew too is described as a son of Alphaeus, and was also called Levi. He was in fact Mathew Annas, the brother of Jonathan. He was later to succeed as High Priest from A.D. 42 until deposed by Herod Agrippa I. He was intimately concerned with Jesus's work, and actively promoted the gospel under his name. As Jonathan's successor, he was the chief Levite priest and held the nominal title Levi. He was also a Jerusalem tax collector, who was responsible for collecting the taxes of Jews who had settled outside their homeland. Income from Asia Minor was collected by the Levites and deposited at the treasury at Jerusalem. Both Mathew 9:9 and Luke 5:27 reference the same thing. Thaddaeus, James, and Mathew are all described as sons of Alphaeus, but they were not all brothers. As elsewhere, the word son is here used to denote a deputy position. The style of Alphaeus did not imply relation to a person or place, the word simply means, the succession.

John 1:45-49 says that Phillip was an associate of Jonathan Annas, he was an uncircumcised gentile proslyte. He was head of the Order of the Shem – bread = MFKZT. See our article “MFKZT The Jesus Connection Look Here for more on this. The Coptic Gospel of Phillip was written in his name. Bartholomew (John Mark) was Phillip's evangelical and political companion. He was chief of the Proslytes and an official of the influential Egyptian Therapeutate at Qumran. The gospels do not say much about Thomas but, we know that he was one of the most influential evangelists for JC, he preached in Syria, Persia, and India. He was born a prince of the Herodian line, but lost his inheritance when his mother Mariamne II was divorced by King Herod after she tried to assassinate him.

Mariamne II. What Does the Name Mariamne Mean?
Mariamne – Name Meaning & Origin

The name Mariamne is a New Testament Greek name, possibly meaning "rebellious." However, its roots may trace even further back to ancient Egyptian, where mr means "love" and mry translates to "beloved."

Historical Context:
Mariamne I was a Hasmonean princess and the second wife of Herod the Great, King of Judea under the Roman Empire. Despite ordering her execution, Herod was said to be so grief-stricken that he preserved her body in honey for seven years.

Who Was Herod’s First Wife?
Herod's first wife was Doris, whom he married before rising to power. Once he sought to strengthen his political position, he divorced Doris to marry into the Hasmonean dynasty by taking Mariamne as his wife.

Why Did Herod Execute Mariamne?
Mariamne was famed for her beauty, as was her brother Aristobulus III. Herod, deeply paranoid and fearful of Hasmonean influence, viewed them as threats to his rule. Driven by political insecurity, he ultimately executed many prominent Hasmoneans, including Mariamne herself.

Simon Peter and Andrew, here we are dealing with the two apostles who seem to be the most prominent of them all, that is not quite accurate. As listed here, the apostles are in reverse order of their importance because in this way it protects their identities and true position from the Romans. Both of these fellows were ordinary village Essenes and held no office within the community. Peter eventually became Jesus's right hand man and was nick named Cephas – the stone, he was noted for being unflappable . He was Jesus's chief body guard. After Peter's wife died, he became an evangelist and was largely responsible for spreading the Gospels in Rome. He was eventually martyred by crucifixion during Emperor Nero's persecution of Christians.

This next bit is quite complex, but we need to have a closer look at the priestly and angelic structure of the community at Qumran. We have touched on the fact that the angelic structure was maintained within the priestly hierarchy of the Qumran community – so that the highest ranking priest was not only the Zadok dynast but was also the archangel Michael. Thus he was the Michael-Zadok (the Melchizedek). Second in ranking was the Abiathar, who was also the angel Gabriel. Let us look at this far more closely because it will better explain the Apostles professional and social status.

Now, first things first, THERE IS NOTHING ETHERAL OR SPIRITUAL ABOUT THE WORD ANGEL. The word simply means messenger, the prefix arch simply adds the word chief to it – chief messenger. The Old Testament describes two types of angels, most of whom acted like ordinary human beings like in Genesis 19:1-3, when angels visited Lot's home and they ate unleavened bread, or the one who sat under the oak tree with Gideon.

The angel who appeared to Gideon is identified as the Angel of the Lord, a figure often understood as a theophany—a visible manifestation of God in human form—and sometimes believed to be the pre-incarnate Christ. This encounter took place while Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress, hiding it from the Midianites.

A Closer Look at the Encounter:

The Angel’s Appearance:
The Angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon under an oak tree in Ophrah, at a time when Israel was suffering under Midianite oppression.

Gideon’s Circumstances:
Gideon was discouraged and fearful, hiding from the Midianites and questioning why God had seemingly abandoned Israel.

The Angel’s Message:
The angel greeted Gideon with the striking words, “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior,” and commissioned him to deliver Israel from Midianite rule.

Gideon’s Doubts:
Gideon expressed uncertainty about his ability to lead, citing his lowly status and the overwhelming strength of the enemy.

Divine Reassurance:
The angel assured him that God would be with him, enabling him to defeat the Midianites—an assurance central to the biblical theme of divine empowerment.

Theophany and Realization:
Gideon later realized he had encountered not just an angel, but God Himself, leading to fear that he might die from having seen the Lord face to face. This deepens the view that the Angel of the Lord was a pre-incarnate appearance of Christ, the second person of the Trinity.

Spiritual Significance:
This encounter marks a pivotal moment of divine intervention. God's calling of Gideon underscores the theme of unexpected leadership and foreshadows the New Testament promise of “God with us” (Enlil), revealing God's enduring presence with His people.

The other type of angel was seemingly different, more dangerous because they often had swords like in 1 Chronicles 21:14-16. None of them are described as being divine, nor did they have bright white robes with graceful wings coming out of their shoulder blades. As we know the Old Testament is exclusively about the Annunaki, and many of the encounters with angels is referenced by them arriving in a technological contraption of some sort.

 Most of these contraptions we are given to understand are fiery flying machines - chariots. The only people on earth at that time that possessed that type of technology were the Annunaki. They were our overlords, and it was not uncommon for them to send messengers out to whatever individual for whatever purpose. As you or I would do it, we would send a regular messenger to deliver a regular message, however, if that message deserved more serious attention, we would send a cop, or a lawyers letter, maybe the army. So too did the Annunaki in the form of an Archangel.
