Blue Kachina and Its Moon

 

Blue Kachina and Its MoonBased on new developments, the Turrialba Volcan Research Team has designated the Turrialba object of interest, Bluebonnet, as the Blue Kachina of Hopi prophecy. This ancient prophecy tells us the Blue Kachina, appears first with some disruptions. Then comes the Red Kachina and the end of life as we know it.

Also featured are comparisons between current data and the predictions of Project Camelot, The00SkyView Team and remote viewer, Major Ed Dames. If they are right, this could be Planet X / Nibiru. GO

The post Blue Kachina and Its Moon appeared first on Planet X News Blog.

Moore Tornado, Oklahoma, Tornado Season 2013, A Cold Winter of Global Warming jumps to Heat Wave Spring and 2013 Hurricane Season thrashing the Atlantic Seaboard

 

(UPDATED Monday, 20 May 2013) The article below was written 24 hours ago on Sunday when the first phalanx of tornadoes passed through the state of Oklahoma hitting Shawnee, a suburb north of the metropolitan Oklahoma City area. After drawing to my readers’ attention forecasts anticipating a new and deadly tornado season for 2013 I documented six weeks earlier, I felt concerned that what I presented below was too intense. That I was, I at least hoped, exaggerating the onset of a late tornado season that would either match or be more dreadful and deadly than the historic 2011 tornado season.  I walked out of my office this afternoon, turned on the Weather Channel and saw reality had become science fiction just 90 minutes earlier. On the screen was the aftermath of a vast wedge tornado. The videos broadcasted of it made it look like it came out of the climate change disaster movie The Day After Tomorrow. (Also check out this article: Climate Change.)

It reached its greatest size as it came right over the heavily populated town of Moore, a southern suburb of Oklahoma City. The flattened rows of neighborhoods scourged by devil winds down to the bedrock bones of foundations, the mountains of cars piled like sand dunes of twisted metal laid against a hospital, the collapsed theaters and the elementary school full up of students in lock down, now just a heap–a Hiroshima wind blasted wreck… It was worse, if that is possible to imagine, than the devastation of Joplin Missouri, the city cut in half and cut down by an EF5 tornado in the 2011 season, killing several hundred. The Moore tornado cut a swath 1.5 miles wide with an outside wind wall cast before it knocking flattening a city in a wave of structure splintering force another mile from its epicenter. Some Doppler wind reports had the twister clocking 200 to 215 mph. This will be designated as an EF5 tornado, I am deadly sure of it. If you have not read this article posted yesterday forecasting what is just the beginning of this fatal season of twisters, please do, especially if you are in places that could be next in line for harm’s way:

***

Friends,
On 30 March 2013, I gave a reader, an American farmer named Ted, some weather forecasts that will appear in my forthcoming eBook Predictions for 2013 and Beyond. I wrote Ted when winter had a tenacious hold on the US central plains, the Great Lakes and north Atlantic seaboard states.

Today, I am sharing these documented observations on the worst week of tornado disasters in 2013. The twisters came spinning on 15 May in north Texas outside of the Fort Worth/Dallas area. At least 10-to-16 tornadoes were reported, three of which were a couple of EF3 and one 4 magnitudes, spinning at 150 to 200 mph respectively. These unleashed a house and town splintering intensity leaving many a foundation bereft of a standing structure, killing six and injuring over 100.

On Friday, Saturday to today, Sunday, tornadoes and thunderstorms hurled their twisters and golf ball and softball sized hail fury across the high plains in Western Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska then up into Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin. Up until recently, the jet stream had remained far south, nestling along the Gulf Coast for most of March and April into May, keeping tornado season quiet. Then the air currents of a bothered climate suddenly swung northward, drawing hot and humid subtropical Gulf moisture over the plains states to collide with Arctic air, the collision of such foments violent weather. On Sunday the Weather Channel correctly forecast the highest Torqon levels of the year anticipating the chance of seven tornadoes in a radius of 50 miles across the eastern portions of Kansas and Oklahoma and the Midwestern states affecting 25 million people. Twenty-four tornadoes and counting passed through these areas on Sunday. Monday will place the same areas under tornado threat of a Torqon of five.

Here is my tornado season forecast of 2013 sent to Ted on 30 March 2013:

Notice how the pattern of this year is similar to that of 2011, only more intense. Remember how 2011 had one snow breaker blizzard after another? Then a shift. Then April came.

Suddenly there was a dramatic change. The winter storms stopped and were replaced with an April tornado season the likes of which was for the record books in deadliness.

So, be mindful in the latter days of mid to late April for tornadic events to be as bad if not worse than 2011 mostly running again through the US southern States but be mindful of eastern Kansas.

Now, things [the drought] will soften in May but be mindful of the move of the jet stream to a higher latitude this year, again, just like what happened in 2011. This means some New England violent tornadic weather again and such lingering through the Illinois, Indiana, and Minnesotan regions.

I hope that helps with your planting needs.

Global SITREP A9-13 : Prophetic Dominoes All Lined Up!

 

U.S. Navy F-35 Lightning II - Israel Air Force "Adir"

28 April 2013: Preparations have continued which were postulated in the Eschatology Today article of 7 March 2009 entitled "Prophetic Dominoes." Global SITREP A9-13 will basically constitute an comprehensive update for that article. Those now four-year old strategic preparations have progressed to a very advanced, ready-to-go, now-or-never stage. Only the back-and-forth in relations between the United States and Israel regarding how to deal with the Iranian nuclear problem over these past fours years has kept a preemptive strike simmering in the interim. At the present time it does appear that a strike will occur before the summer months of 2013 have made their passage from our calendars. 

A very recent weapons agreement between the US and Israel has all the earmarks of being a virtual hardware upgrade reward for Israel's patience with the U.S., E.U. and U.N. diplomatic application of sanctions against Iranian nuclear progress. This is a hardware upgrade of such state-of-the-art American-made weapons being injected into Israel's armory that the total real-world military dominance I believe is made evident in the Lord's prophetic word found Jeremiah 49, Isaiah 17 and Psalm 83 is now completely unambiguous.

One piece of the new hardware is the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike stealth fighter (image above) which Israel will shortly begin building its combat squadrons around in replacing its aging F-16A Hawk models. Traditionally Israel gives its own name to its aircraft and the F-35 will be no different as it has been christened with the Hebrew name Adir meaning Great, but conveying a more 21st century meaning along the lines of Unrivaled Awesomeness,  which is an apt description of this aircraft's capabilities. Air superiority on steroids in other words. 

There is also another bit of hardware that was all but missed. It's so new that the usually weapons savvy Israeli publications like YNET and DEBKAfile didn't even notice it. YNET News.com even reported the exact opposite, headlining that no bunker busters were in this weapon agreement. (Oops, I hate when that happens!)  The New York Times reported it, but they even they played a low-key note in reporting it.  What is "it"?  It is the GBU-39A/B, which true to this weapons true capability passed straight through almost undetected in only being identified as "advanced focused munitions bombs" in the Times article on the arms deal.

Speaking of steroids, the GBU-39A/B is a flechette-on-steroids of high precision, high lethality, low-to-no-collateral damage aerial weapons.A dart of a bunker buster, if you will. This is the state-of-the-art weapon Israel could immediately deploy on its F-16I Sufa strike aircraft to hit nuclear related bunkers or human targets in downtown Tehran and barely disturb the person sleeping in the building next door. The US has had these weapons since 2008, and now, just five years later, Israel will get the GBU-39A/B too. 

The GBU-39A/B is light, only 285 pounds - but it has a high explosive (blast velocity = 5 miles per second) warhead that weighs 205 pounds. This bomb is more than 2/3rds high explosives. Makes a bad day for the bad guy his last day on earth no matter where he is hiding from a launch point that is 60 miles away - and that is well outside the range of most point air defense systems Iran or Syria possess. Additionally, this weapon's guidance system cannot be jammed or spoofed.

It is my own assessment that the North Korean nuclear test of 12 February 2013 was in-fact an Iranian test of a weapon with an HEU fissile core. A possible second test will confirm it.  Global SITREP A7-13 spoke to the strategic implications. More recent news articles have made clear with respect to the North Korean nuclear warhead test, and the new US military assessment regarding a missile-borne delivery system for that warhead, that Israel regards Iran as now having fully taken a stride over the red line it established in consultation with the United States. A strike on Iran looks as imminent as it ever did and Israel is more prepared than ever to deliver that strike.  Add to this the looming WMD situation in Syria and the conditions for a "perfect storm" in the Middle East to accelerate the toppling of prophetic dominoes are all too apparent.

Sunday, May 5, 2013:
Jesus said: “My people, every day of your life is like one step closer to your judgment, and one step closer to heaven for My faithful. Each day you should be focused on following My agenda so you can fulfill the mission that I have given you. You take time for your daily prayers, and daily Mass for some. You can even visit Me in My tabernacle at night. You need to work for your living and take nourishment at your meals, but you also need to share your faith each day in giving good Christian example to those around you. When you can, reach out to help others in their needs. At the end of each day think over any of your faults so you can confess them later, but learn from your mistakes so you do not repeat them. When you come to your judgment, you will have to make an accounting for each day in how you spent your time working for Me. The more good deeds that you have, it will go easier for your final judgment. Work each day on perfecting your soul, and be prepared that it could be the last day of your life.”

Monday, May 6, 2013:
Jesus said: “My people, you are seeing in the vision how I sent out My disciples to spread the Good News of the coming of My Kingdom. I died for your sins, and you are still celebrating My Resurrection on Easter. This salvation that is given to all sinners, is the Good News that I want My faithful to share with those who want to be converted to believe in Me. I have given you life and a soul so you can worship Me, and love Me and your neighbor. See the beauty of My creation and all the people on earth. I call everyone to come to Me so I can lead each of you on your own mission. I have called some of My faithful to be missionaries of My Word. Rejoice if you have been called to go out to all the nations and tell them My Good News. When you come to your judgment, all the souls that you have brought to Me in conversion, will be witnesses on your behalf. Keep close to Me in prayer and keep praying for poor sinners. I desire that all souls could come to heaven, and not be lost to the devil in hell.”

Jesus said: “My people, you have been seeing flood watches all along the Mississippi River. This huge wall of water in the vision was part of this flood water, and there will be a break in a dam or levee that could cause further flooding. This combination of flooding and a cool spring has made it difficult for your farmers to get their crops planted. If you have another bad season for crops, you could see some food shortages. Many of your droughts and bad storms are being caused by man-made machines, so pray for My help in gathering enough food for your people to eat. I will provide what you need, so have faith in what I will provide for My faithful at My refuges.”

Tuesday, May 7, 2013:
Jesus said: “My people, this message is all about giving Me thanks for all of My gifts, and all that I do for you every day. After Holy Communion, you usually are giving thanks for My gift of My Eucharist. Dying for all sinners is My greatest gift of salvation that you could thank Me for. Giving you Myself every day in My sacramental presence of the Eucharist is another gift that I am with you always, and you should thank Me. I give you all of your talents and health to do My work that you can thank Me for. I give you life in the soul with My grace, and life in your body by helping you find food, breathe the air, and have water to drink. You take many of My gifts for granted. You can even consider your children and grandchildren as gifts of My love. Every person that comes into your life is a gift from Me. You do not really own things or your children, because they are only given to you on loan for a short time. Everything in this life is temporary and will pass away, so give Me praise and thanks for all that I put in your life.”

Jesus said: “My people, some of you are aware of the Ison Comet that will come close to the earth around November and December. I showed you this in an earlier message, but I did not mention the significance of this comet. Your astronomers are telling you that this comet will appear as brighter than a full moon. I told you that the meteor over Russia was a sign of a war coming. Now you are seeing how Israel is protecting itself by a second bombing of potential missiles in Syria that were headed to Hamas. I also gave you a sign of the coming financial problems after Pope Francis was elected. Now, I am telling you that this comet is a sign of the coming Warning. I will not give a date for the Warning, but I have told you many times that it is close. In the vision of the circling stars, you could tell that this was connected to the Warning. Once the Warning occurs, events will be moving quickly to allow the Antichrist to come into power. My faithful need to have your backpacks, tents, and sleeping blankets ready for when you will have to leave for the safety of My refuges. Have trust and faith that I will protect My faithful from the evil ones.”

Wednesday, May 8, 2013:
Jesus said: “My people, I gave you a sign with this meteor in Russia that a new war would break out. In the vision you could see bombs exploding in a war that will be in the Middle East area. This is a hotbed of confrontations between Israel and many Arab factions. If various Arab nations started a war with Israel, America could be drawn into such a conflict. Israel is fighting for its survival. If Israel is threatened by superior numbers in armies, they would possibly even use nuclear weapons for their defense. This is why Israel is concerned if Iran obtains nuclear weapons. Any Middle East war could quickly involve many nations that could lead to a world war. Be watchful of any new war, and pray that peace will prevail.”

Jesus said: “My people, you have seen several incidents with assault rifles that have killed some people, and now a new tactic with homemade bombs. Look at the responses to these incidents that are near martial law reactions with SWAT (Special weapons and tactics team) teams and police. Each one of these incidents is a test of the response to various violent acts. There will be more of these incidents as part of a fear and terrorist tactic for giving your authorities more power and control over your people in the name of security. You are seeing more control coming over your people through your health care law as well. Chips in the body are part of this law, and it is just a matter of time before chips in the body will become mandatory. I have warned My faithful not to take any chip in the body for any reason, even if you are threatened with death for not taking a chip in the body. Once these chips become mandatory in the body, My faithful are to leave for My refuges. Those, who take the chip, will be controlled by voices, and they will be like robots to the one world masters. Trust in My help at My refuges where the evil ones will not find you because of the invisible shield all around you.”

The Jay-Z Illuminati Conspiracy: Are Beyonce And Jay-Z Seducing Our Kids Into The Occult?

 

Jay-Z Illuminati

Why are Jay-Z, Beyonce and many of the other artists that they work with (such as Rihanna) so obsessed with the Illuminati?  Why does Illumunati symbolism constantly show up in their music videos, their live performances and even in Jay-Z’s Rocawear clothing line?  Is it just a coincidence that they flash hand signs representing the all-seeing eye of Horus and the Mark of the Beast during nationally televised events?  If it was a one time thing, perhaps you could dismiss their behavior as a coincidence or as a publicity stunt.  Sadly, the truth is that there is no way that all of this occult symbolism could get into their music videos and live performances by accident.  There is an agenda at work here.  Jay-Z, Beyonce and a whole bunch of other prominent artists are seducing our kids into the occult and they are making the New World Order appear to be hip, trendy and cool.  When our young people use the same symbols or flash the same hand signs as their favorite artists, most of them are not even aware of what they are doing.  But they are slowly being conditioned to accept the values and the belief systems behind those symbols and hand signs.

When you know what to look for, you start seeing these things just about everywhere around Jay-Z and Beyonce.  For example, posted below is a photo of Jay-Z wearing a sweatshirt that has the famous Aleister Crowley motto “Do What Thou Wilt” emblazoned across it…

Jay-Z Do What Thou Wilt

The following is what an NPR article had to say about the video from which this picture was taken…

In the making-of video for “Run To Town,” he’s pictured wearing a sweatshirt with the phrase “do what thou wilt” printed across the chest.

“Yes, that has very deep roots in modern occult culture,” Horowitz says. “The full expression is ‘Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.’ That was one of the key maxims of the British occultist Aleister Crowley. So when Jay-Z appears in a hoodie with that phrase on it in public, that’s exactly what he’s referencing.”

Jay-Z’s Rocawear clothing line also often draws upon Masonic symbols: pentagrams, obelisks, pyramids, the all-seeing eye.

Sadly, this reference to Aleister Crowley was not just a one time thing for Jay-Z.  In fact, as the Daily Mail recently explained, Jay-Z has been linked to a Luciferian organization that Crowley founded known as Ordo Templi Orientis…

Other celebrities linked to OTO include the rapper Jay-Z, who has repeatedly purloined imagery and quotations from Crowley’s work.

Whether wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with ‘Do what thou wilt’ or hiring Rihanna to hold aloft a flaming torch in his music videos (a reference to the Illuminati, an outlawed secret society whose name supposedly derives from Lucifer, or ‘light bringer’), he has given the sect priceless publicity.

His clothing line, Rocawear, is shot through with OTO imagery such as the ‘all seeing eye’ in a triangle, the ‘eye of Horus’ (an ancient Egyptian symbol frequently referenced in occult texts) and the head of Baphomet (the horned, androgynous idol of Western occultism).

Perhaps Jay-Z’s favorite occult symbol is the all-seeing eye of Horus.  Beyonce and Jay-Z are constantly flashing this symbol wherever they go, and it is even on the cover of his greatest hits album…

Jay-Z Illuminati Album Cover

For much more on the Jay-Z/Illuminati connection, please check out this video

Unfortunately, Beyonce has also fully embraced Illuminati symbolism and the occult agenda that Jay-Z is pushing.

If you doubt this, just watch the video posted below

But of course Jay-Z and Beyonce are far from alone.  All over America, prominent celebrities are gladly embracing the Illuminati and the New World Order.  By doing so, they are sending a message to future generations of Americans that being a part of these things is trendy and cool.

For example, just check out some of the celebrity members of the Council on Foreign Relations…

George Clooney

Angelina Jolie

Oprah Winfrey

Michael Douglas

Jimmy Iovine

Rick Warren

Michael Bloomberg

Richard Branson

Katie Couric

Brian Williams

Fareed Zakaria

Erin Burnett

Rupert Murdoch

Les Moonves

Paul Krugman

Joe Biden

John Kerry

Newt Gingrich

John McCain

Dick Cheney

Bill Clinton

Hillary Clinton

It’s funny – just about the only thing that Republicans and Democrats can agree upon is that joining the Council on Foreign Relations is a good thing to do.  The mainstream media would have us believe that they are mortal enemies, but the reality is that they are really all working for the same side.

Another example of how the Illuminati is becoming trendy is the resurgence of Freemasonry that we are witnessing in the United States right now.  According to the Los Angeles Times, Freemasonry is in the midst of a “membership boom”…

That’s because the Freemasons, whose tenets forbid soliciting or recruiting members, have enthusiastically embraced the Internet as a way to leverage curiosity about an organization with its roots in Europe’s medieval stonemasons guilds. Freemasonry today sees itself as a thinking man’s salon, a learned society with a philanthropic bent.

“We had a record number of new members last year,” said Allan Casalou, grand secretary of the Grand Lodge of California. “We added 2,000 men, which is the most since 1998 and our seventh straight year of membership increases.”

And, to paraphrase that Oldsmobile campaign, these definitely aren’t your father’s Freemasons. They are bar owners, male models and olive-oil brokers. They are men like Zulu, an L.A. tattoo artist with a swirling Maori-inspired design inked across his face and a panoply of metal piercing his ears, nose and face. They are men like Jonathan Kanarek, who runs a men’s vintage clothing store on Hollywood Boulevard and whose retro chic wardrobe of polka-dot ascots, glen-plaid jackets and smartly pressed pocket squares earned him a spot on Esquire magazine’s 2007 list of best-dressed real men in America. And they are men like Daemon Hillin, whose surfer-dude looks and blinding white smile can be found on Japanese TV, where he plays sidekick and comic foil to the Japanese version of the Hilton sisters.

Meanwhile, those that the Illuminati hate (Christians) are being increasingly demonized in this country.

For example, last week Fox News reported that the U.S. military has been blocking the website of the Southern Baptist Convention (the largest Protestant denomination in America) because it contained “hostile content”…

The U.S. Military has blocked access to the Southern Baptist Convention’s website on an unknown number of military bases because it contains “hostile content” — just weeks after an Army briefing labeled Evangelical Christians and Roman Catholics as examples of religious extremism, Fox News has learned.

The Southern Baptist Convention is the nation’s largest Protestant denomination known for its support of the pro-life movement and its strong belief in traditional marriage.

Southern Baptist chaplains reported that SBC.net had been blocked at military installations around the nation. An Air Force officer told Fox News that when he tried to log on to the website he received a message that his Internet usage was being logged and monitored for trying to access a blocked site.

Fortunately, that site has now been unblocked after a great uproar, but this is just another example of how Christians are being marginalized and demonized by our own government.  For much more on this, please see my previous article entitled “All Over America Evangelical Christians Are Being Labeled As ‘Extremists’ And ‘Hate Groups’“.

And you know what?  This is exactly the same type of thing that we have seen under other tyrannical regimes throughout history.  They always want to tear down the Christian faith.

For example, Boldur von Schirach, the head of the Hitler Youth, once made the following statement: “Destruction of Christianity was explicitly recognized as a purpose of the National Socialist Movement”.

Nazi literature was full of propaganda about how the Nazis were going to do away with Christianity.  In a previous article, I posted some of the incredibly shocking information that has been uncovered by author Bruce Walker….

The Nazi tract Gott und Volk was distributed in 1941, and it describes the life cycle of German youth in the future, who would:  “With parties and gifts the youth will be led painlessly from one faith to the other and will grow up without ever having heard of the Sermon on the Mount or the Golden Rule, to say nothing of the Ten Commandments… The education of the youth is to be confined primarily by the teacher, the officer, and the leaders of the party.  The priests will die out.  They have estranged the youth from the Volk.  Into their places will step the leaders.  Not deputies of God.  But anyway the best Germans.  And how shall we train our children?  Thus, as though they had never heard of Christianity!”

In case you still haven’t gotten the point, the following direct quotes out of Hitler Youth training manuals should leave little doubt about how the Nazis felt about the Christian faith…

“Christianity is a religion of slaves and fools.”

“How did Christ die?  Whining at the Cross!”

“The Ten Commandments represent the lowest instincts of man.”

“Christianity is merely a cloak for Judaism.”

But instead of learning from history, we seem doomed to repeat it.

In America today, the Illuminati and the occult are being glorified, and Christianity is being demonized.

So what will the end  result of all of this be?  Please feel free to post a comment with your opinion below…

Babylon Religion Revealed

 

Babylon Religion Revealed

I want to begin this lecture by talking about Ninurta, sensationalism and historic facts.

The Nibiru collision is a supposed disastrous encounter between the Earth and a large planetary object (either a collision or a near-miss) which certain groups believe will take place in the early 21st century. Believers in this doomsday event usually refer to this object as Planet X or Nibiru. The idea that a planet-sized object could possibly collide with or pass by Earth in the near future is not supported by any scientific evidence and has been rejected as pseudoscience by astronomers and planetary scientists.
The idea was first put forward in 1995 by Nancy Lieder, founder of the website ZetaTalk. Lieder describes herself as a contactee with the ability to receive messages from extra-terrestrials from the Zeta Reticuli star system through an implant in her brain. She states that she was chosen to warn mankind that the object would sweep through the inner Solar System in May 2003 (though that date was later abandoned) causing Earth to undergo a pole shift that would destroy most of humanity. The predicted collision has subsequently spread beyond Lieder's website and has been embraced by numerous Internet doomsday groups, most of which link the event to the 2012 phenomenon. Although the name "Nibiru" (the name of a Babylonian god) is derived from the works of late "ancient astronaut" writer Zecharia Sitchin and his interpretations of Babylonian and Sumerian mythology, Sitchin denied any connection between his work and various claims of a coming apocalypse. The idea of the Nibiru encounter originated with Nancy Lieder, a Wisconsin woman who claims that as a girl she was contacted by gray extraterrestrials called Zetas, who implanted a communications device in her brain. In 1995, she founded the website ZetaTalk to disseminate her ideas. Lieder first came to public attention on Internet newsgroups during the build-up to Comet Hale-Bopp's 1997 perihelion. She stated, speaking as the Zetas, that "The Hale-Bopp comet does not exist. It is a fraud, perpetrated by those who would have the teeming masses quiescent until it is too late. Hale-Bopp is nothing more than a distant star, and will draw no closer." She claimed that the Hale-Bopp story was manufactured to distract people from the imminent arrival of a large planetary object, "Planet X", which would soon pass by Earth and destroy civilization. After Hale-Bopp's perihelion revealed it as one of the brightest and longest-observed comets of the last century, Lieder removed the first two sentences of her initial statement from her site, though they can still be found in Google's archives. Although Lieder originally referred to the object as "Planet X", it has become deeply associated with Nibiru, a planet from the works of ancient astronaut proponent Zecharia Sitchin, particularly his book The 12th Planet. According to Sitchin's interpretation of Babylonian religious texts, which contravenes every conclusion reached by credited scholars on the subject, a giant planet (called Nibiru or Marduk) passes by Earth every 3,600 years and allows its sentient inhabitants to interact with humanity. These beings, which Sitchin identified with the Annunaki of Sumerian myth, would become humanity's first gods. Lieder first made the connection between Nibiru and her Planet X on her site in 1996 ("Planet X does exist, and it is the 12th Planet, one and the same.").
However, Sitchin, who died in 2010, denied any connection between his work and Lieder's claims. In 2007, partly in response to Lieder's proclamations, Sitchin published a book, The End of Days, which set the time for the last passing of Nibiru by Earth at 556 BC, which would mean, given the object's supposed 3,600-year orbit, that it would return sometime around AD 2900. He did however say that he believed that the Annunaki might return earlier by spaceship, and that the timing of their return would coincide with the shift from the astrological Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius, sometime between 2090 and 2370.

The impact of the public fear of the Nibiru collision has been especially felt by professional astronomers. Mike Brown now says that Nibiru is the most common pseudoscientific topic he is asked about.
David Morrison, director of SETI, CSI Fellow and Senior Scientist at NASA's Astrobiology Institute at Ames Research Center, says he receives 20 to 25 emails a week about the impending arrival of Nibiru; some frightened, others angry and naming him as part of the conspiracy to keep the truth of the impending apocalypse from the public, and still others asking whether or not they should kill themselves, their children or their pets. Half of these emails are from outside the U.S. "Planetary scientists are being driven to distraction by Nibiru," notes science writer Govert Schilling, "And it is not surprising; you devote so much time, energy and creativity to fascinating scientific research, and find yourself on the tracks of the most amazing and interesting things, and all the public at large is concerned about is some crackpot theory about clay tablets, god-astronauts and a planet that doesn't exist."

Who or what is Ninurta? Ninurta (Nin Ur: God of War) in Sumerian and Akkadian mythology was the god of Lagash, identified with Ningirsu with whom he may always have been identical. In older transliteration the name is rendered Ninib and Ninip, and in early commentary he was sometimes incorrectly portrayed as a solar deity. In Nippur, Ninurta was worshiped as part of a triad of deities including his father, Enlil and his mother, Ninlil. In variant mythology, his mother is said to be the harvest goddess Ninhursag. The consort of Ninurta was Ugallu in Nippur and Bau when he was called Ningirsu. Ninurta often appears holding a bow and arrow, a sickle sword, or a mace named Sharur: Sharur is capable of speech in the Sumerian legend "Deeds and Exploits of Ninurta" and can take the form of a winged lion and may represent an archetype for the later Shedu. In another legend, Ninurta battles a birdlike monster called Imdugud (Akkadian: Anzû); a Babylonian version relates how the monster Anzû steals the Tablets of Destiny from Enlil. The Tablets of Destiny were believed to contain the details of fate and the future. Ninurta slays each of the monsters later known as the "Slain Heroes" (the Warrior Dragon, the Palm Tree King, Lord Saman-ana, the Bison-beast, the Mermaid, the Seven-headed Snake, the Six-headed Wild Ram), and despoils them of valuable items such as Gypsum, Strong Copper, and the Magilum boat). Eventually, Anzû is killed by Ninurta who delivers the Tablet of Destiny to his father, Enlil.

The Fourth Kind: Milla Jovovich movie features aliens speaking in ancient Sumerian.

Alien abduction flick The Fourth Kind bills itself as containing "actual footage" from case histories.

The footage is clearly faked but I know many people who took this film to be a documentary and were frightened by it.

The movie has an incredibly terrifying premise. Hundreds of people have gone missing from the tiny, isolated town of Nome, Alaska since the 1960s. These missing persons cases have never been solved. But then a psychiatrist named Abigail Tyler starts investigating a rash of sleep disorders in Nome, and discovers that her patients are all having the same visions of white owls who interrupt their dreams. And when she hypnotizes one of her patients to find out more about this "owl," he is reduced to abject terror and then flees her office to kill his family and himself. Another patient, when hypnotized, starts screaming in ancient Sumerian and starts levitating.

    Tyler undergoes hypnosis in an attempt to make contact with these beings     and reunite with her daughter. Campos and Odusami videotape the     session, and once hypnotized, it is revealed that Tyler witnessed the     abduction of her daughter and also shows scenes of her own abduction,     showing part of the abductors ship and it is hinted that they possibly took     some human egg cells from Abbey as well. the camera scrambles, and     Abbey begs to the alien that abducted Ashley to return her, the creature     replies, saying that its own child was never returned to it and then calls its     self the savoir, then the father and finally ends with "I am...God". when the     encounter ends Campos and Odusami rush over to the now unconscious     Abbey and then they notice something out of camera's view, the camera     scrambles again, and a volatile voice yells "Zimabu Eter!" which supposedly     translates to "Spirit from whom you cannot be saved" in English. When the     camera unscrambles it shows that all three of them are gone.

Finally, there's a whole "chariot of the gods" idea that's sort of flung into the story as if we weren't already up to our eyeballs in disbelief we couldn't suspend even if we wanted to. The aliens speak in ancient Sumerian, which a professor is inexplicably able to understand, despite the fact that the only access to Sumerian he has are from ancient texts. Nobody knows how the language would have been pronounced. Still, he figures out that the aliens are yelling things like "I am god," and using the word "destroyed" a lot. We also don't understand why they're still speaking an ancient language - you'd think by now they would try speaking English since they've been abducting Alaskans since before Sarah Palin was born.

So why are the aliens depicted in the movie speaking Sumerian-and why is the fake planet X called Ninurta-after a Babylonian god?

The reason is to give it some credibility or to make it seem plausible and to exploit the general lack of knowledge among the public about ancient Mesopotamia.

Even in Evangelical circles, fraudulent information about Babylonia is often put out. (I call this false information the Hislop Cult or the Two Babylons Cult-which I will examine later.)

I believe that this fraudulent information is very damaging and it is important for us to have accurate information about ancient Babylon-partly to help us to understand the story of the Bible better.

General information about the Background of Babylonia

The ancient inhabitants in Babylonia were the Sumerians. So the region is called ancient Sumer. Apparently, there was a group settled there even earlier than the Sumerians-because there are some words in Sumerian which are derived from an even earlier language.

The Sumerian language is a language isolate. This means that there are no languages known to be related to it. This makes it similar to Basque, which also has no known related language, but also makes it mysterious and alien, which is why it is used as an alien language in "the Fourth Kind." However, in our age there are dominate language groups-such as Semitic languages, Indo-European languages, and Bantu languages. In ancient times there were many "language isolates" that have vanished. Sumerian is also the most ancient written language.

Later, the Akkadians conquered the Sumerians and after centuries eventually assimilated. The Akkadians did use Sumerian as a type of official or sacred language (classical and liturgical language), similar to how Latin was used in the Middle Ages and how Hebrew has been used by the Jewish people.

The mythologies of the Sumerians and the Akkadians became related in a similar way that Greek and Roman Mythology is related. (There are some differences between Greek and Roman Mythology-but most often, the Romans adopted the Greek gods and gave them Roman names-Zeus became Jupiter, Hermes became Mercury, Hera became Juno, and ect.)

Akkadian was the language spoken by the Assyrians and Babylonians. Assyrians and Babylonians were distinct peoples-although they spoke the same language. For instance, the Scots and the English both speak the English language, but are distinct peoples, although they live very close to each other.

(Modern Aramaic speakers identify themselves as Assyrians-and Roman Catholic speakers of Eastern Aramaic dialects call themselves Chaldeans and Babylonians.)

Akkadian is a Semitic language. This means that it is closely related to Hebrew. In fact, Akkadian is the earliest attested Semitic language. Akkadian is an extinct language.

By investigating Semitic languages, comparing and contrasting the living Semitic languages (Arabic, Aramaic, Maltese, Socroti, ect.) we can trace the origins and development of the Semitic languages.

All Semitic languages, including Hebrew, evolved out of an extinct pre-historic language called Proto-Semitic.

The scientific study of ancient Mesopotamia is called Assyriology because Assyria was the first of the ancient Mesopotamian cities to be scientifically excavated.

Now, I want to mention that, in 2003-when I was serving with the military in Iraq, I was able to go to the ruins of ancient Babylon.

The Assyrians were able to establish a great empire with their powerful and advanced military. Unfortunately for the Assyrians, due to their conquests, they made a number of enemies and finally Assyria, and it's capital city of Nineveh, was destroyed by the Babylonians. Then the Babylonian Empire can to power. Babylon was conquered by the Persians and in turn the Persians were conquered by Alexander the Greats Hellenistic (or Greek) Empire. Late in the Greek period, Babylon (a city that Alexander had used as a capital and where he had died) fell into decline and was eventually abandoned. It became a heap of ruins that the Muslims often quarried for building supplies.

Historians believe that Human Civilization (which refers to humans living in cities) began in Mesopotamia-which is attested in the Bible in the Tower of Babel story.

Mesopotamia and the Bible

1. The garden of Eden was in Iraq. Eden was in Iraq -- Genesis 2:10-14. (There are different theories concerning the location of the Garden of Eden, the most plausible is southern Iraq-but the region southern Turkey/northern Iraq is also a likely location.)

2. Mesopotamia which is now Iraq was the cradle of civilization! Adam & Eve were created in Iraq -- Genesis 2:7-8.

3. Noah built the ark in Iraq.

4. The Tower of Babel was in Iraq. Nimrod established Babylon & theTower of Babel was built in Iraq -- Genesis 10:8-97 & 11:1-4. The confusion of the languages took place in Iraq -- Genesis 11:5-11.

5. Abraham was from Ur, which is in Southern Iraq! Abraham came from a city in Iraq -- Genesis 11:31 & Acts 7:2-4.

6. Isaac's wife Rebekah is from Nahor which is in Iraq. Isaac's bride came from Iraq -- Genesis 24:3-4 &10.

7. Jacob met Rachel in Iraq. Jacob spent 20 years in Iraq -- Genesis 27:42-45 & 31:38.

8. Jonah preached in Nineveh - which is in Iraq.

9. Assyria which is in Iraq conquered the ten tribes of Israel. (This is the story of the "Ten Lost Tribes." It is likely that the Ten Lost Tribes were assimilated into the Assyrians. The Samaritans also claim to be descended from the Ten northern Tribes of Israel. They claim to be Ephraimites and Levites.)

10. The Book of Nahum is written about the fall of Assyria

11. Babylon which is in Iraq destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple-fulfilling the prophecies of Jeremiah.

12. Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, carried the Jews captive into Iraq.

13. Ezekiel preached in Iraq.

14. Daniel was in the lion's den in Iraq! The Book of Daniel is also set in Iraq

15. The 3 Hebrew children were in the fire in Iraq (that's good news to know that JESUS has been in Iraq too as the 4th person in the fiery furnace!).

16. Belshazzar, the King of Babylon saw the "writing on the wall" in Iraq.

17. Nehemiah and Ezra were Persian dignitaries and part of these books are set in Iran and Iraq.

18. The book of Esther is set in Iraq and Iran

19. The wise men were from Iraq. (From the Gospel of Matthew)

20. Peter may have preached in Iraq. (But it is uncertain what "Babylon" Peter preached at-it may have been Babylon in Iraq, or the Fortress of Babylon in Egypt, or perhaps Peter uses "Babylon" as a euphemism for Rome.)

Now we have seen the pivotal role that ancient Mesopotamia plays in the Bible story. That being so-why is there so much gross ignorance of Babylonia among Christians?

The book or Revelation has prophecies against Babylon, which was the old name for the nation of Iraq -- Revelation 17 &18. No other nation, except Israel, has more history and prophecy associated with it than Iraq.

(Some misunderstandings about Babylonia are due to people taking prophetic typology regarding Babylon and using that typology to interpret history.)

Another problem is that Babylon has not been able to capture the imagination of the public the way that Egypt has. In the 1920s, Sir Wooley excavated "Ur of the Chaldees" and there was much excitement regarding his excavating of the "City of Abraham." However, his discoveries were soon eclipsed among the public by Howard Carter's excavations of King Tutankhamen's tomb.

Hollywood continued to capture the imagination of the public with ancient Egypt with Mummy movies. Mesopotamia is referred to in "True Lies" and "Ghostbusters." In the silent era, there was a movie that featured Babylonia that was entitled "Intolerance." These are rare exceptions to the Hollywood blackout of ancient Mesopotamia. (The Scorpion King is said to be an "Akkadian" in the film-but the filmmakers have no interest in imparting anything historical in that movie.) So, ancient Babylon and Assyria hasn't made much of a pop cultural impact the way Egypt had.

Babylonian Religion

In times past, there was a lot of conjectural information about ancient Babylonia, mostly because at the time, we didn't have hard evidence to go on. (Unfortunately, most of these conjectures have been shown to be false by hard archeological evidence-but inaccurate information is still out there-and there are people who tirelessly put out so-called "facts" that have been shown to be fraudulent.)

IT IS A TRAVESTY TO HAVE ALL THIS NINURTA, 4TH KIND, TWO BABYLONS NON-SENSE OUT THERE WHEN WE NOW HAVE HARD FACTS.

The problem is that it seems that the general public is more interested in sensational claims that historical truth. People are more curious and interested in non-sense than in the facts. But the fraudulent information is VERY harmful-as we will see below when we examine the Two Babylons cult.

In the late 1800s, the CUNIFORM script was deciphered and now we have direct information from the Babylonians about what their religious beliefs were.

Babylonian Gods:

Asshur: (Actually, an Assyrian god). As the deified city Assur (pronounced Ashur), which dates from the 3rd millennium BC and was the capital of the Old Assyriankingdom. As such, Ashur did not originally have a family, but as the cult came under southern Mesopotamian influence he came to be regarded as the Assyrian equivalent of Enlil, the chief god of Nippur and one of the most important gods of the southern pantheon, and in time Ashur absorbed Enlil's wife Ninlil (as the Assyrian goddess Mullissu) and his sons Ninurta and Zababa - this process began around in the 13th century BC E and continued down to the 8th and 7th centuries.The Assyrians did not require conquered peoples to take up the worship of Ashur; instead, Assyrian imperial propaganda declared that the conquered peoples had been abandoned by their gods. When Assyria conquered Babylon in the Sargonid period (8th-7th centuries BCE), Assyrian scribes began to write the name of Ashur with the cuneiform signs AN.SHAR, literally "whole heaven" in Akkadian, the language of Assyria and Babylonia. The intention seems to have been to put Ashur at the head of the Babylonian pantheon, where Anshar and his counterpart Kishar ("whole earth") preceded even Enlil and Ninlil. Thus in the Sargonid version of the Enuma Elish, the Babylonian national creation myth, Marduk, the chief god of Babylon, does not appear, and instead it is Ashur, as Anshar, who slays Tiamat the chaos-monster and creates the world of mankind. Some scholars have claimed that Ashur was represented as the solar disc that appears frequently in Assyrian iconography, but evidence indicates that this is in fact the sun god Shamash. Many Assyrian kings had names that included the name Ashur, including, above all, Ashur-nasirpal, Esar-haddon (Ashur-aha-iddina), and Ashur-banipal. Epithets include bêlu rabû "great lord", ab ilâni "father of gods", šadû rabû "great mountain", and il aššurî "god of Ashur". The symbols of Ashur include:a winged disc with horns, enclosing four circles revolving round a middle circle; rippling rays fall down from either side of the disc; a circle or wheel, suspended from wings, and enclosing a warrior drawing his bow to discharge an arrow; the same circle; the warrior's bow, however, is carried in his left hand, while the right hand is uplifted as if to bless his worshipers

Bel and Nebo: Bel is Marduk and Nebo (cognate with Hebrew word "Nabi" meaning "prophet" is his son, the god of wisdom. Isaiah 46:1, "The god Bel bows down; the god Nebo stoops low. Their statues are seated on animals and cattle. The gods that you carry are burdens, a load for weary people." Nebo-is found in the name of the famous king Nebuchadnezzar (or Nebo-chadnezzer). Abed-nego means servant of Nebo.

Marduk: was the Babylonian name of a late-generation god from ancient Mesopotamia and patron deity of the city of Babylon, who, when Babylon became the political center of the Euphrates valley in the time of Hammurabi (18th century BCE), started to slowly rise to the position of the head of the Babylonian pantheon, a position he fully acquired by the second half of the second millennium BCE. The golden statue that Shadrech, Meshek, and Abed-nego refused to worship was a statue of Marduk (or perhaps Nebo). Mordecai, of the book of Esther, has a name that means servant of Marduk.

Nergal: An underworld deity mentioned in the Bible at 2 Kings 17:30.

Anu: The sky-god, father of the gods and chief Babylonian deity. His name means "Heaven."

Enlil: One of the most important gods of Mesopotamia, Enlil was second in authority only to Anu. He ruled over earth and bestowed kingship upon leaders of men. He was the keeper of the "Tablets of Destiny."

Enki (also called Ea): God of the waters and of the mystic arts. He saved mankind from the Great Flood.

Addad: Storm-god, same as Haddad/Baal in Canaanite mythology. His sacred animal was the bull.

Amurru: God of the Amorites-that was worshiped in Mesopotamia.

Ereshkigal: Goddess and ruler of the Netherworld. Wife of Nergel.

Ninurta: Originally an agricultural god-later became a god of war.

Sin (also called Nanna): The moon-god. The father of the sun-god and the goddess of love. The judge of the dead.

Shammash: The sun-god and the god of Justice.

Ishtar: Goddess of love. Wife of Tammuz.

Tammuz (called "Damuzi"): Shepherd-god.

Geshtinanna: Goddess of the vineyards and sister of Damuzi.

Babylonian Religious Practices:

Babylonians had an important new year celebration that was also an atonement service-in fact it was described Kappara-related to the Hebrew word Kippur. (The name of the festival was Akitu.) The king repented on behalf of the people and was slapped by the high priest so hard that it drew tears. This was a 12 day festival in March. The worship centered around Marduk.

The idols were brought into the temples in a processional festival.

Much like in the Jewish Temple, animals, lambs and bulls, were sacrificed and burnt offering were made. Ritual sex may have been practiced by the Babylonians on occasions-but this is speculative.

Important temples were towers called Ziggerats.

Important Babylonian Myths/Literature

The Law-code of Hammurabi: A law code similar in some ways to the law of Moses. Shamash, the god of Justice, gave these commandments, which were inscribed upon a stone tablet to King Hammurabi.

The Epic of Gilgamesh: This story of King Gilgamesh contains a version of the story of the Flood of Noah-and a story about how man was denied access to the fruit of the Tree of Life due to the mechanations of a serpent.

The Story of Ishtar and Tammuz: Ishtar marries the Shepherd King, Tammuz. Later, she decides to enter into Hell, and there she is held captive by Ereshkigal, the Queen of Hell. She escapes from hell, but trades her place with Tammuz. Tammuz's sister Geshtinanna, makes a deal with Ereshkigal that she will spend six months out of every year in hell, so that Tammuz can be free during that time.

The Two Babylons Cult/Apocryphal Tale

"You shall not add to, nor take away from this book…" (Revelations 22:19, Deuteronomy 4:2).

Christians cite these books and also stress concern about Apocrypha-however-there is one apocryphal tale that many Protestants and Evangelicals have added to the status of scripture-and it does like this.

The story goes like this: After the flood of Noah, people settled in Babylonia. There Nimrod became king. He married his mother Semiramis. He taught the people to worship idols. Shem, Noah's son, killed Nimrod and scattered his body parts in different cities as a warning to them, lest they follow Nimrod's sinful ways. But then, Semiramis gave birth to Nimrod's posthumous son and named him Tammuz and said that he was Nimrod reincarnated and that he was the sun-god. Then Semiramis had everyone worship the trinity of Nimrod, Semiramis and Tammuz and established the mother-goddess cult. She also taught that her sons and her husband were god-kings. All religions are derived from this Babylonian religion and Roman Catholicism is actually Nimrod worship, but given a Christian veneer.

There are many problems with this. First, this story isn't in the Bible. If it really happened why isn't it in the Bible? Also, this story as we have just seen doesn't match what we know about Babylonian religion.

Also, who is this Semiramis character? She isn't mentioned in the Bible.

Scholars believe that Semiramis was Sammuramat ruled 823-811 BC and was the wife of Shamshi-Adad V and mother of Adad-nirari III.

The Greeks heard about her and invented vulgar stories about her being the founder of Babylonia.

These lewd stories offended the Babylonians and a Babylonian named Berossus. Berossus published the Babyloniaca (hereafter, History of Babylonia) in three books some time around 290-278 BC, by the patronage of the Greek King Antiochus I. He establishes the fact that Babylon was built by King Nebuchadnesser and not by Semiramis-who was a queen of Assyria and not Babylonia. Berossus was quoted in Josephus and his writings seem to be accurate.

Another issue is that Babylonian kings were not viewed as gods. Naram-Sin, who reigned ca. 2254–2218 BC, was the first Mesopotamian king known to have claimed divinity for himself and his divine presumptions seemed to have created a backlash. Also, note how that during the Akitu festival, the king would humiliate himself before the gods and allow himself to be publically slapped by the high priest. Naram-Sin's dynasty soon collapsed after his rule.

Jewish stories (the Midrash) do not match the Nimrod-Semiramis-Tammuz tale either. In Midrash, Nimrod is a mighty hunter because he inherited the clothes that God made for Adam and Eve and these had magical properties. In Jewish Lore, Shem doesn't kill Nimrod. Shem is identified with Melkizedek. Nimrod persecutes Abraham in Jewish tradition. There are many different contradictory legends about Nimrod. Often he is portrayed as a tyrant. In some legends, he repents. In a few he is a righteous king. The Bible doesn't state is Nimrod was good or evil, it only states that he was a "mighty hunter before Yahweh" and that he ruled as a "mighty one."

The Nimrod-Semiramis-Tammuz story is not attested in any ancient historical writing, such as Josephus, nor is it found in any apocryphal or pseudopigraphal writings-so the question is-where did it come from?

It first appears in 1859 in the writings of a cult-leader named Alexander Hislop. Where did Alexander Hislop get the story? Basically, he just made it up. It is a product of his imagination.

He took the myths of Semiramis from a discredited ancient Greek writer-who was a rabid anti-Semite- named Diodorus Siculus (or Diodorus of Sicily). He wrote his works of myths and legends that were mistaken for history between 60 and 30 BC. He has Semiramis marry a king named Ninus-who she had put to death so that she could rule. Hislop thought that Ninus was Nimrod.

What Hislop did was take the myth of Semiramis and mix it with the story of the Egyptian god Osiris (indentifying Shem with Seth) and also mixing it with the story of the Levites concubine from 19 and coming up with a completely new story that was a product of his imagination.

No Assyriologist takes Hislop's work as having any historical value. He didn't know anything about ancient Babylonia-and he wrote before cuniform had been deciphered and before many important discoveries were made. This means Hislop's writings are out-dated, discredited, and have no credibility and are fraudulent. All the archeological evident from 1859 until today totally discredits "The Two Babylons."

Some Christians have given Hislop's "The Two Babylons" an almost Scriptural status. And unfortunately the book is still in print.

But why? Why would Christians promote a book that has been proven to be untrue? Because the facts don't matter-it is an excuse to be devisive and hateful.

Because, there is a general ignorance about Babylonia-and people are able to exploit that ignorance to attack Roman Catholicism and Christianity in general.

Soon after it was written, the book was shown by leaders of the church-that if what Hislop was saying was true-and it isn't-it wasn't just Roman Catholicism that is "pagan"-but the whole of the New Testament.

(In the early Church period, Clementine literature did identify Ninus from the Semiramis story with Nimrod. However, the scenario of Shem dismembering Nimrod and Semiramis giving birth to Tammuz the sun-god, are innovations of Hislop. "The Two Bablyons" contentions are not supported by historical or archeological evidence.)

Much of the attacks on Christianity in the Da Vinci Code were ultimately derived from Hislop's "Two Babylons."

I have been viciously attacked because I agree with the historical and archeological evidence that had disproven "The Two Babylons." The "Two Babylons" is rubbish-the same as "Planet Ninurta" and "The Fourth Kind." The Two Babylons is fraudulent and cultic literature. Many people are deeply committed to perpetuating and spreading this falsehood.

The problem is that the facts about Babylonia have not been made accessible to the general public-who are quick to pick up on bogus conspiracy theories-which are much easier to learn about.

Babylon's Enduring Legacy

Revelations 11:8, "And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which mystically is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified."

What city is that? This is how the Book of Revelation describes Jerusalem, but this isn't how most Christians think of Jerusalem. In popular imagination, Babylon is THE sinful city.

H.W.F. Saggs wrote, "The most important cereals in much of the Western world are wheat for bread and barley as the basis of beer; this is because their wild ancestors grew in the Near East, where they were cultivated in prehistoric times, and then transmitted to the rest of the world through Babylonia. Similiarily, our predominant meats are mutton, beef and pork because, despite the abundance of possible meat animals, the sheep, cow and pig were three of the four principle animals domesticated for food in the prehistoric Near East and taken over in Babylonia (the fourth was the goat, which has largely gone off the menu in recent centuries). [Except among the Mexicans who eat goat meat like nobody's business.]

Technological survivals include the plough and the potter's wheel, and possibly the wheel used for transport, which have come down to us from earliest Babylonia. The concept of writing is another vital survival, even though the original technique, cuneiform on clay fell into disuse two thousand years ago. . Ancient Babylonia gave us the place-value notation system fro writing of numerals…we still count in sixties for some purposes, such as geometry (360 degrees in a circle) and time) division of hours into minutes and minutes into seconds), and this system originated in third-millennium Babylonia…The twenty-four hour day, although not wholly of Babylonian origin, combines Babylonian and Egyptian elements. Astronomy, and even the names of some constellations, have their origin in Babylonian observations of stars and planets…[The Lunar calendar, used by Judaism and Islam, and even forms the basis of the Christian calendar is based on that used by the Babylonians. Some scholars believe that the seven day week is of Babylonian origin.] …Thus, although our modern life is separated from Babylonia by more than two thousand years, we remain linked by many fine strands of traditions…without which our world would be a very different place indeed."

There is a book entitled the "5,000 Year Leap" about how America has accomplished more for mankind in 200 years, than mankind has accomplished in 5,000 years. I think that there have been 5,000 year leaps before. The first occurred in the Ancient Near East, the second occurred in the Greco-Roman Era, and the most recent began with the Renaissance and Protestant Reformation.

In conclusion, we see that many of the contributions of ancient Babylonia are not pagan, sinful or "demonic," they are human and have benefited mankind.

Chemical Weapons
Used in Syria?
A Definite “Maybe

Friends,
On a dirty paddock in Khan al-Assal outside of the rebel stronghold of Aleppo, Syria, lay the corpses of a herd of sheep with spring lambs. There are no signs of shrapnel tears or pools of blood from some conventional missile or artillery warhead. The sheep seem to have fallen over where they stood. They were playing dead like kids, keeling over all at once after singing that children’s song dating back to the Black Death years, making light whimsy of the 13th century wave of bubonic plague that rapidly killed off a third to half of Europe’s population in two to three years.

The still forms in the paddock looked like the Syrian sheep were playing dead after singing, “Ring around the rosy, pocket full of posies, ashes! ASHES! We all fall DOWN!”

George Ourfalian of Reuters news agency took the picture you see of the dead sheep on 23 March 2013 purportedly giving the first photo journalistic proof that a red line had been crossed in the Syrian Civil War waged by Free Syrian Army forces of a Sunni majority since early 2011 against its Shia minority in power. The regime consists of Alawite tribes in control of forces of Alawite dictator of Syria, Bashir al-Assad. All the signs are there that either by artillery shell or short range missile, a chemical warhead was detonated – mostly likely a lethal cloud of Sarin gas was released by aerial burst because of the swooning instant of the carnage in the paddock.

I do not know if any human had been there. There are no signs of someone being dragged away and the mute van in the corner, nor the poor stone brick hut to the left indicate any human dead.

I have seen videos of people rolled into Aleppo’s besieged hospital foaming at the mouth and blinded, temporarily I hope, by some chemical agent. These video clips come from around 23 March. Most of the victims were young men of fighting age, members of the Free Syrian Army, I suspect, divested of their bandoleers and AK-47 assault rifles.

Two more reports of chemical weapons attacks have happened around the blood reddening of the partial lunar Eclipse on 25 April 2013.

I documented some prophecies several weeks before this happened. They calculate when these and other chemical weapons attacks may at last have crossed the red line we have heard US President Barack Obama warn could bring the United States and its NATO allies into an open conflict with Syria.

These forecasts below will appear in my forthcoming eBook about how May 2013 to the end of 2014 is a last chance to choose a better path to the future in the space of 18 months – a time that represents a last call to reform, a last chance to begin treading a new path for humanity. It is a time of the last breath before a plunge into a future by mid-decade more guided by a momentum of human stupidity and unconsciousness that could threaten to undermine our civilization beginning in 2015 through 2025.

I have already written the rough draft for all my predictions about Syria – most of them in early April and the last just five days before the partially eclipsed April Full Moon and the last string of chemical weapons attacks reported. These predictions will appear in that new book, entitled Predictions for 2013 and Beyond. As usual, I document all of my predictions in ways that prove they were written on specific days, hermetically sealed and that seal dated. Today, I will share a few of these predictions about Syria. The rest will appear in this eBook (my 22nd book since 1987) still currently being written and designed.

2013 and Beyond will be out later in May. It will include a 13thchapter about Comet ISON coming into our skies at the end of this 13th year of the 21st century. ISON could burn brightly as a portent anticipated by the Hopi Prophecies of the Blue Kachina. The chapter will look into these Hopi visions as they might describe the death and rebirth of our world coming soon.

The general release of my book after Memorial Day will not have that chapter in it.

Only you, who have already advanced donated and patiently waited for its release will see it. Moreover, only you who donate now before Memorial Day weekend will be able to read that chapter. This gift goes to my readers who understand that Hogueprophecy needs your financial support to continue. Millions of you from all over this troubled planet with an uncertain future have been reading my prodigious output of articles about prophetic-trending current events for over a dozen years and have not contributed to this website’s further existence.

Please do it now.

See how you can help us continue and receive my gift of an eBook about your future that has this extra chapter about the Hopi Blue Kachina, only for “you”. Click on predictions.

Sunday, April 28, 2013:
Jesus said: “My people, you have the richness of the Word of God that was prompted by the Holy Spirit in all the pages of the Bible. You have the prophetic word of My coming in the Old Testament. You also have the fulfillment of My sacrifice in the New Testament, as well as a promise of My return. My focus today is upon Me as the Word of God, especially in the quote from the beginning of St. John’s Gospel. (St. John 1:1-3) ‘In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God; and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him was made nothing that has been made.’ I am the Word of God that has fulfilled the promise of a Redeemer. Now you are reading of how I will return with a new heavens and a new earth, which will be shared in the coming Era of Peace. All of My faithful will be rewarded in this new earth of the New Jerusalem. Rejoice in My Easter message of My Resurrection, and in My promise to return in this new Era of Peace.”

Monday, April 29, 2013: (Edward Wegman Funeral Mass)
Jesus said: “My people, Ed was a faithful family man for his many years of marriage. He leaves a legacy of a large family with many children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. His strong faith was a good example to his children. He stood by his family in supporting them in their needs. He was grateful for all the family members and friends who came to his funeral. He also wanted to thank Ed, his son, and Father for their kind words about him. He is in purgatory for a short time, and he is in need of a few Masses. He will be praying for his family and watching over his wife, Estelle, whom he loves.”

Jesus said: “My people, I am showing you this historic and beautiful Notre Dame Church in Paris, France that represents the traditions of the past. You are seeing a beautiful altar and beautiful stained glass windows. In your traditions you have a great reverence for My Blessed Sacrament. Many of you still kneel or bow to receive Holy Communion on the tongue. When you come into church, you genuflect in honor of My Real Presence in My tabernacle. When you pass in front of My tabernacle, or when you leave the church, you also genuflect to Me. When you have Me adored in My monstrance, you genuflect on both knees. You give honor to Me also by following My Commandments and living a chaste life in marriage without living together in sin. Your morals in America may change, but My Commandments are always the same. Hold on to your traditions of faith, and do not let modernism or New Age teachings corrupt your faith.”

Jesus said: “My people, you hear in your news of various hardships on people when they may have lost their homes in a tornado. Everyone has to endure some hardships in life of sickness, lost jobs, lost homes, financial bankruptcy, or deaths in the family. Life is a testing ground, so do not get too comfortable with this life’s things because they can be taken away at any time. Think first of depending on Me for everything so you are not so attached to your money, and your possessions. When I give you messages that you will have to leave your homes in order to come to My refuges of protection, many people have difficulty in leaving everything behind. This detachment of things in your life is not easy, but you need to be ready to give this all up so you can focus on where I want to lead you. At one point you may even be asked to give up your very life as a possible martyr for believing in Me. Keep your souls pure every day, because you do not know the day nor the hour when I will call you home, or when I will call you to come to My refuges.”

Thursday, April 25, 2013: (St. Mark)
Jesus said: “My people, many Christians are too comfortable in their seats at church, and there are a good number who do not even come to Sunday Mass. If you are to have a true loving relationship with Me, you need to obey My Commandments. The Third Commandment requires that you worship Me on Sunday, and honor My day of rest with less work than on other weekdays. Coming to Mass on Sunday is the first step. If you love Me, you will tell Me so in your daily prayers. People in love do not just tell their spouses ‘I love you’ only once on Sunday. Your love for Me and your neighbor should be shared every day in helping people in need. It is when you to out of your comfort zone to help someone or evangelize souls that you are truly showing Me your love. Loving Me means that you are concerned to do whatever you can to save as many souls from hell as possible. Preaching My Word to your neighbors may take courage, but it is the right way to share your faith with others.”

Prayer Group:
Jesus said: “My people, last year you used this faucet a lot in order to water your parched lawn. I am showing you this faucet again because you will be using it again this summer. It will not be as severe as last year, but there will be some dry spots. It has been cool in the spring, but it will be another hot summer. Farmers will continue to find it difficult to obtain enough water for their crops. Pray that their harvest will be better than last year because your reserve food supplies are quite low.”

Jesus said: “My people, every year you can see floods on flood plains, but it is always a problem when you have substantial rain in addition to snow melt. At this time you are also seeing tornadoes, but they are not as severe this year compared to last year. Your jet streams have caused a lot of swings between cold and warm weather. You even saw some ice storms when you traveled through Canada. Be thankful that you did not have any ice storms as they did in parts of Canada.”

Jesus said: “My people, you are seeing reports of over 200 people who were injured with all the ball bearings and metal pieces from the two bombs that went off in Boston. The three deaths received the
most coverage, but there was not much focus on all the people who were injured. These bombs were designed to cause maximum harm from flying pieces of metal in a crowd. The deaths and injured people are crying out for justice in these cases. In the future such backpacks may need to be examined in crowded sports events. It is hard to prevent terrorism, but your authorities need to be more vigilant.”

Jesus said: “My people, you have been seeing people killed by bombs and knife attacks in addition to some shootings. These different means of killing people are just showing up that it is the evil intent of killers, and not just the weapons that matter. It is hard to outlaw all possible weapons that could be used to kill people. This is why many of the proposed gun restrictions have not deterred crime for the criminals and terrorists. The one world people are still pushing to remove your guns for their takeover of America. Keep guarding your rights, or they will be taken away.”

Jesus said: “My people, your winter has been long and cold, but a cold spring has people waiting for warm weather to return. Many of your flowers were already out by this time last year. Be patient for your flowers to blossom, and be thankful for all the beautiful trees and flowers that bring new life to your spring.”

Jesus said: “My people, even as the adults are happy to see warm weather, your children are even more so to play their games. Those, who live in the North, have to bear a longer time of cold. This is why some even go South for the winter. Rejoice as your signs of spring are raising your spirits, even as I am sharing My Easter joy of My Resurrection. Keep encouraging your children to do things outside instead of spending too much time on their electronic things.”

Jesus said: “My people, in a few weeks you will be celebrating Ascension Thursday, and the fortieth anniversary of your prayer group. My Blessed Mother and I are grateful for all of your rosaries and Adoration hours that have been offered up for your many intentions. You know that you can come to us with all of your requests. I help all of you in carrying your everyday burdens. Have hope and trust in Me that I will be looking out for your needs. Keep praying also for the conversion of sinners, and for the poor souls in purgatory.”

Friday, April 26, 2013:
Jesus said: “My people, I told My apostles when I called them to My ministry, that they would now be fishers of men and women, instead of the fish in their old profession. The large nets in the vision are a sign of how this work needs to be spread among all the nations. There was even a sign of this when the apostles caught 153 large fish. In St. John’s Gospel there are some beautiful words to give My people comfort in following Me to heaven. ‘Do not let your hearts be troubled,’ is how I am always assuring My people to trust in Me that I will take care of your needs. I was explaining to My apostles how I was going to My Father to prepare a place for all of My faithful in heaven. Then St. Thomas asked Me how he would know the way that I am going. This is when I gave the words: ‘I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.’ You can only come to heaven through Me because I have brought salvation to everyone through My sacrifice and death on the cross. I am the Only Begotten Son of God, and I was sent as a man to die for all of your sins. Be grateful that you have a loving God that loves you enough to die for you. This is why I need My faithful to be missionaries, so you can spread My ‘Good News’ in evangelizing converts to the faith in all the nations.”

Jesus said: “My people, I am showing you this unity candle as a symbol for what happens when you are united with Me when you receive Holy Communion. You have some intimate moments with Me in Communion, and you share My sacramental grace to strengthen you against the devil’s temptations. You have a beautiful personal relationship with Me that gives your soul a spiritual high every time you come to Me. Some people are seeking earthly highs with drugs and alcohol, but they can never find My peace from earthly things. You can only have true peace in your soul from Me. Rejoice in My joy, and work to share this joy with others. When people see how much joy and love that you have in your eyes, they will desire this same experience for themselves. So be a good Christian example, so others will be attracted to living a good Christian life.”

Saturday, April 27, 2013:
Jesus said: “My people, St. Paul was led to Antioch and many other cities to proclaim the Good News of My Resurrection. But the Jews did not like their preaching about Me, so the Jews had St. Paul and Barnabus put out of their city. It was then, as in the vision, that St. Paul shook the dust from his feet in protest against those non-believers. My disciples therefore, brought My Word to the Gentiles, and they were delighted to receive Me, as many were converted to the faith. So all peoples now have the Gospel given to them because I died for all of mankind, and not just for the Jews. In the Gospel I had to explain to St. Philip that those, who see Me, also see God the Father in Me because the two of Us are One in the same God, along with the Holy Spirit in the Blessed Trinity. I am the Gatekeeper to heaven, so that everyone must come to God the Father through Me. I am the cornerstone on which My Church was built, and St. Peter was the rock who would lead it through all the popes in succession. I have protected My Church through all these years, and the gates of hell will not prevail over My Church. At the end of the Gospel, I told My apostles whatever they asked of Me in My Name, that I would grant it according to My Will.”

Sunday, April 21, 2013:
Jesus said: “My people, you are all familiar with reading your newspaper in the morning, for those who have a subscription. News of your daily events on earth quickly grow old. Very few people want to read yesterday’s newspaper. I am showing you these printing presses because your daily news is always concerned with breaking news. Once the details of a story is known, it quickly gets old. This is why you are at times annoyed when some channels keep playing the same court trial day after day. This daily news on earth can be contrasted with My ‘Good News’ of salvation, and My words in the Bible that live on forever without change. Earthly news is over in a day, but My words have a lasting character because you are faced with the truth of My words. Earthly stories can be misinterpreted, propaganda, or censored, so it is skeptical at best. But there is no doubt in My words, unless somebody is an atheist, and they do not believe in Me. You can put your faith and trust in My words that are true, and I can save souls from going to hell, if they follow Me. All that I teach is about love of God and neighbor, because I am love. It is the devil who causes hate, evil, and confusion. This is why you will know people by the fruits that they bear. A good tree can only bear good fruit, while a bad tree can only bear bad fruit. A good person will bear good deeds, while a bad person will bear bad deeds. I still call on My faithful to evangelize souls, so they can be converted to the faith and be saved.”

Monday, April 22, 2013:
Jesus said: “My people, you can have arid land next to a waterfalls, but if the water is not brought to the land, it is hard for anything to grow. Even in your own yards, until the rains come, it is hard for things to green up for spring. Bringing water to the ground, is similar to bringing My grace into a soul. If a soul is living in mortal sin, that soul is dead spiritually. But if that soul comes to Me in Confession, then I can forgive that person, and bring life back to the soul with My grace. Grace for the soul is like rain is for the soil. Grace gives life to the soul, and rain gives life to the vegetation. I am the Resurrection and the life, and I bring life to My faithful, and I restore life in the ground for nature. I bring abundant life to this world, as I offer salvation to everyone, including the Gentiles.”

Jesus said: “My people, every time you take My Eucharist at the Mass, you are sharing My ‘Living water’ that will bring you eternal life. Man cannot live on bread alone from the earth, but you can live forever if you eat the Manna of My consecrated Host. You could even survive on only Holy Communion because some of the saints have done this. You are still celebrating My Resurrection when I conquered sin and death. Death could not contain the Son of Man, and all of My faithful are promised to be resurrected at the last judgment. This hope of eternal life with Me in heaven is what drives every Christian to be faithful to My Commandments, and love Me and his or her neighbor. You are rejoicing in My gift of Myself, and the promise of eternal life to those who eat My Body and drink My Blood.”

 

Tuesday, April 23, 2013:
Jesus said: “My people, in Antioch My faithful were called Christians for the first time. Once they were identified, the Romans sought them out for persecution. Even today, Christians are mocked and put down because the evil ones of your society have no love for Me or for God the Father. When you fight against abortion and gay marriage, these evil ones will single you out for persecution in your own land. Those, who follow earthly desires and avoid My Commandments, want to have their earthly pleasures without being criticized for being sinners. You all are sinners, and you all are in need of My forgiveness. This is why you need to evangelize sinners to follow Me, but they will resist your pleas, and you may face prison and persecution because of My Name. Christians are the targets of the evil one world people, so they will eventually have to come to My refuges to protect their souls and their lives.”

Jesus said: “My people, in the early spring it takes time to clean out all the dead branches and debris from the winter. Then you may have to fertilize your lawn so it can green up without so many weeds. Cleaning out the weeds comes later, as well as trimming any bushes. Maintaining a neat yard requires work. Maintaining a pure soul free from sin, also requires work. In the natural world you find defects that require pruning. In the spiritual world you also deal with the consequences of Adam’s sin in trying to prune the body’s desire for pleasures and comforts. The soul has to keep the body in check from its sinful desires. This is why daily prayer and occasional fasting are needed to restrict the body’s wants. Keep striving to keep a pure soul to please Me in how I want you to live. You may need at least monthly Confession to keep your soul pure in My grace. By holding on to peace in your soul, you will be ready to meet Me at your judgment.”

Wednesday, April 24, 2013:
Jesus said: “My people, St. Paul and Barnabus were sent out by the apostles to Cyprus and other lands as missionaries of the faith in Me. Even as I sent My apostles out two by two to evangelize all nations, so I send My faithful out to evangelize souls as well. It is not easy to lead a life of a missionary because you are always in a foreign land with people that may or not accept My teachings. You, My son, have also been traveling to share My messages that prepare people for the end times. This message of coming to refuges during the tribulation, is a difficult message to share and to accept. I am thankful that you have accepted this mission because in the end times, the faith will not be strong among the people. You will also be facing a persecution of Christians that will endanger your lives. My refuges will be a safe haven for My faithful when the evil ones will want to kill you. Trust in My protection as My angels will make you invisible to your persecutors.”

Jesus said: “My people, you are seeing on the news how the bombers’ family was receiving welfare assistance, yet there were expensive cars and money needed for their weapons. There is suspicions that they were trained in bomb making, and questions where they obtained explosives and the guns. There are also questions of those who taught radical Islam to the brothers. It is becoming more apparent that they received help from somewhere for all that they did. Many of your investigators are learning the flaws in checking foreigners with possible terrorist connections. Buying of large amounts of fireworks and foreign travel should have been some red flags. It was also interesting how martial law was established briefly in Boston to catch the last bomber. Any number of incidents could be used to set up martial law whenever your authorities want to use their authority over your population. It will be such a martial law that could be used to takeover America. If you see enough terrorist activity to cause martial law, then My faithful will need to come to My refuges of protection.”
