Armando Morales, Chandra Levy Witness, Could Be Discredited, Judge Says

We didn't notice the 1260 address of Chandra Levy in Washington D.C. right away, but as
soon as we did, inner bells started to ring, with the connection of the 1260 in the Book of
Revelation and the symbolism of the disappearance of Chandra as well.  

The family and Chandra's supporters are still hoping that Chandra will be found alive and well
even after all this time.

There are more symbolic correlations possible in this story, but they cannot be stated until
Chandra is found.

Pertinent verses from the Bible are listed below for reference.

 Officials Seek Clues in Death of Washington Intern
Levy's Body Found 13 Months After Disappearance

Only a short distance from the front door, scores of reporters lined the sidewalk of the shady cul-de-sac. Ribbons that lined neighborhood trees and lamp posts a year ago were tattered and faded.

Neighbor Joanne Tittle's eyes were red and puffy from crying.

''My gut instinct was hopeful,'' she said. ''I hoped she was in a foreign country or something.''

Meanwhile, the man whose political career was ruined by his connection to Levy issued a statement through his attorney: "Congressman Gary Condit and his family want to express their heartfelt sorrow and condolences to the Levy family. The Levy family will remain in our prayers.''

Condit has denied having anything to do with the disappearance, but he acknowledged to investigators that he had an affair with Levy, a police source said. He lost the Democratic primary in his district and is in his final months as a congressman.

Levy disappeared sometime after logging off her computer on May 1, 2001. When police searched her apartment they found her wallet, credit card, computer and cell phone. Only her keys were missing.

As national interest increased, police searched intensively. They considered a variety of theories - murder, suicide, even the possibility that Levy had gone into hiding or lost her memory.

Then, on Wednesday, a man walking his dog found bones, a jogging bra, tennis shoes and other items about a mile north of the mansion and about four miles away from Levy's apartment. Friends had said she frequented the park, located in northwest Washington not far from her apartment.

Washington Police Chief Charles H. Ramsey said he told a family lawyer that dental records confirmed the identity of the skeletal remains.

Dr. Jonathan Arden, the medical examiner, said he had received all the bones discovered in the park, but declined to describe their condition or say how long it might take to determine when and how Levy died. Arden said a Smithsonian anthropologist would help analyze the bones.

Levy's laptop computer showed evidence that she had searched a Web site for a mansion in Rock Creek Park on the day she vanished. Scores of police cadets had searched the 1,754-acre park last summer.

Mark Geragos, Condit's lawyer, said Levy's death seems to parallel the cases of two other missing girls in Washington and supports Condit's belief that a serial killer may be responsible.

''It's certainly not a red-letter day for the D.C police,'' the lawyer said. ''If, as reported, she left with only her tennis shoes and her keys, and was going jogging, wouldn't you look on the jogging trails? How do you miss somebody? It's mind-boggling.''

Levy came to Washington for an internship with the Bureau of Prisons. In late April 2001, her internship was abruptly cut short when supervisors learned she was ineligible to continue because she had finished her college coursework the previous December.

Within weeks of her arrival in Washington, Levy and a friend visited Condit's office, where they had their photo snapped with the congressman. He also took them to the House gallery to watch him vote. Within months Levy told family members she was having an affair with Condit.

After her disappearance, police searched Condit's apartment with his consent and obtained a DNA sample from him. Condit submitted to a lie detector test arranged by his lawyer, who said the congressman was found to be truthful when denying any knowledge about what happened to Levy.

But the publicity cost him dearly. Abandoned by all but a few Democratic allies and running in a redrawn district, Condit lost the Democratic primary in March to former protege Dennis Cardoza, a state assemblyman.

A grand jury has been reviewing Levy's disappearance and whether Condit or his aides obstructed the investigation. The grand jury subpoenaed documents from Condit last year.

Chandra Levy's Parents Distraught, in Seclusion 

By BRIAN MELLEY
.c The Associated Press

MODESTO, Calif. (May 22) - The parents of Chandra Levy remained secluded in their home Wednesday after learning that a body found in a Washington, D.C., park was that of their long-missing daughter.

Dr. Robert and Susan Levy were said to be distraught and did not immediately plan to appear in public.

''Two parents have just received the most horrifying news they could ever receive,'' family spokeswoman Judy Smith said outside the family's home. ''Certainly no parent would think they would ever bury their child. It's usually the other way.''

Reports conflicted about how the parents got the bad news. Family lawyer George Arata said word came via media reports. But Smith said Washington Police Chief Charles H. Ramsey telephoned the couple beforehand to tell them that dental records had confirmed the identity of the skeletal remains, found not far from Chandra's apartment in the Capitol.

Outside the family's one-story brick home, a crowd of reporters massed on the sidewalk and a wall of satellite trucks lined the street. It was a replay of last summer, when Chandra's disappearance - and her romantic links to the area's longtime Democratic congressman, Gary Condit - gripped the nation.

A friend had been at the Levy house Wednesday morning and left just before the remains were identified. ''They held out so much hope, and they've been so strong. It's just devastating to them,'' Donna Raley said.

Neighbor Joanne Tittle's eyes were red and puffy from crying. ''My gut instinct was hopeful,'' she said. ''I hoped she was in a foreign county or something.''

Ribbons that lined neighborhood trees and lamp posts a year ago were tattered and faded.

Condit, who lost re-election in March after his political support crumbled amid the scandal, was in Washington Wednesday. His offices referred all calls to his Los Angeles attorney, Mark Geragos.

''Congressman Gary Condit and his family want to express their heartfelt sorrow and condolences to the Levy family. The Levy family will remain in our prayers,'' the lawyer said.

Gov. Gray Davis said Wednesday he and his wife were ''deeply grieved. ... I hope the Levys find some sense of closure from today's event.'' Levy had worked as an intern in Davis' office before moving to Washington for an internship with the federal Bureau of Prisons.

Geragos said Levy's death seems to parallel the cases of two other missing girls in Washington and supports Condit's belief that a serial killer may be responsible.

''It's certainly not a red-letter day for the D.C police,'' the lawyer said. ''If, as reported, she left with only her tennis shoes and her keys, and was going jogging, wouldn't you look on the jogging trails? How do you miss somebody? It's mind-boggling.''

''My feeling is that the police have a lot of explaining to do,'' Geragos added.

Speculation and rumors dogged Condit after Levy disappeared. He denied having anything to do with the disappearance but he acknowledged to investigators that he had an affair with her, a police source said.

''But everything he went through pales in comparison with what the Levy family is going through,'' Geragos said.

Evidence Tells a Tale, Experts Say

By MALCOLM RITTER
.c The Associated Press 

Even when all that's left is a skull, some bones and some clothing, careful investigation can turn up clues that might help reveal a person's killer, forensic experts said Wednesday.

That work began Wednesday with the remains of Chandra Levy, the 24-year old federal intern who disappeared a year ago. The remains were found in Washington's Rock Creek Park.

Police said they recovered a skull, other bones, a jogging bra, tennis shoes and other items but have no idea how Levy died.

The medical examiner, Dr. Jonathan Arden, declined to describe the condition of the remains or say how long it might take to determine when and how Levy died. Arden said a Smithsonian anthropologist would help analyze the bones.

The skull and bones might reveal how she died, forensic experts said. For example, if a person is stabbed and the blade hits a bone, it will leave a mark, said Joe Collier, retired director of the Phoenix Police crime laboratory.

Certain kinds of skull fractures, or of course a bullet hole, can also reveal how a person died, he said.

He and others said careful examination of the body, clothing and nearby grounds could turn up fibers that indicate, for example, that the person had been transported in the trunk of a car or had been in contact with a particular kind of rug. Similarly, human hairs that don't belong to the person may yield DNA that can be compared against a suspect's, experts said.

Similarly, saliva or semen could turn up on clothing, and that could yield useful DNA, said Rod Englert, a forensic consultant in Portland, Ore. If a killer tightly twists a cloth or rope around the victim's neck, he could even unwittingly strip off skin cells from his hands, leaving them - and their DNA - on the murder weapon, Englert said.

In searching the area around the body, ``you sift through the dirt, you sift through the leaves,'' Englert said. Besides fibers and hairs, such a search could turn up a button that matches a shirt from a suspect, he said.

The investigation should also include nearby bird and rodent nests, he said, because those animals may squirrel away jewelry, bits of clothing or other items.

Levys bury daughter in private

Jewish Ceremony held; family remains hopeful that her murderer will be found

by Michael Doyle
Bee Washington Bureau

Chandra Levy's remains were laid to rest at Lakewood Memorial Park on Tuesday, in a private ceremoney attended by family and investigators woh still hope to solve her murder.

The 11 a.m. service at the cemetery between Empire and Hughson took place without the cameras that have shadowed the case since Levy disappeared tow years ago. It was a deliberate hush.

It's always painful to watch a parent as they witness their hcild bieng lowered into the ground," said Billy Martin, a Washington attorney representing the Levy family and who attended the service.

In a telephone interview afterward, he described the 45-minute service. He said about 40 people attended the traditional Jewish ceremony colored by some nontraditional touches.

Rabbi Paul Gordon, of Modesto's Congregatoin Beth Shalom, officiated, Levy's parents, Bob oand Susan, and her brother, adam, read the Lord's Prayer. they took turns shoveling dirt over the wooden casket.

They released, at ceremony's end,a dozen white doves that found their freedom int he perfectly blue sky.

It was a pretty heavy day for the Levy family," Martin said, adding later that "this is a difficult time for the family, and they hope that everyone will respect their privacy."

The service occurred in what has become a month of wrenching memories.

It was just more than tow years ago, on May 1, 2001, that LEvy's parents last heard from their 24-year-old daughter via e-mail.

She had just concluded an internship with the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, and was de back in California for graduatoin from a master's degree program at the University of California.

Her disappearnace became media fodder as the details of her friendship with then Rep. Gary Condit of Ceres came to light. Condit, woh no longer denies reprots that he told police he was having an affair with Levy, lost his re-election bid and now lives in Arizona.

On May 22, 2002, a man walking his dog came across some of Levy's bones in Washington's Rock creek Park. Six days later, a memorial service at Modeto Centre Plaza drew about 1,200 people.

Ultiamtely, investigators found about 85 percent of Levy's skeletal remains. Martin said they were transferred recently by Washington's chief medical examiner to a Washington-area mortuary and then, last weekend, flown to California.

Dr Jonathan Arden, chief medical examiner in the natona's capital, concluded that Levy had been a ohmicide victim, but that the cause of death could not be determined.

Some close family associates hoped that the remains would yield answers if subjected to further analysis.

Martin said Tuesday that the investigation continues, and included recent interviews by private investigator Duane Stanton in California, Stanton, a former Washington homicide detective, attended Tuesday's graveside service.

Stanton andhis partner, Joe McCann, also a former Washington detective, have been on the case since the Levy family retained Martin in Summer 2001.

"We're constantly updating our interviews and investigation and continue to turn over any leads we have to the grand jury, which is still ongoing," Martin said.

"We'll continue proving the authorties and hope that with all their resources they'll be able to find the killer or killers."

BIBLE VERSES

Daniel 7:25 "And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear
out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws:
and they shall be given into his hand until a time [year] and times [2 years]
and the dividing of time [1/2 year]."

Daniel 9:27 - "And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week;
and for half of the week he shall cause sacrifice and offering to cease;
and upon the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate,
until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator."
- half of a week is 3 1/2 days.
(Clarke's Commentary on Daniel Chapter 9)  

Daniel 12:7 and Rev. 12:14 - "a time, two times, and half a time" - 1 + 2 + 1/2 = 3 and 1/2.  
(Clarke's Commentary on Daniel Chapter 12)

Luke 4:25 - "But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias,
when the heaven was shut up three years and six months,
when great famine was throughout all the land;"
This tells the story in 1 Kings about Elijah's prayer that it not rain,
and it did not rain for 3 years six months. Then he prayed again, this time for rain,
and Heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth its fruit.
(Clarke's Commentary on Luke Chapter 4)

James 5:17 - Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain,
and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years.
(Clarke's Commentary on James Chapter 5)

Rev. 11:3 -4 -  And I will give power to my two witnesses,
and they will prophesy for 1260 days,
clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees and the two
lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.

Rev. 11:2 "...the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months."

Rev. 11:9 and 11:11 - 3 and 1/2 days.  
(Clarke's Commentary on Revelation Chapter 11)  
(The Last Warning - Audio - Reverend Ray Steadman)

Rev. 11:11-12 -- But after the 3-l/2 days a breath of life from God entered them,
and they stood on their feet, and terror struck those who saw them.
Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here."
And they went up to heaven in a cloud, while their enemies looked on.

Rev. 12:6 "And a great sign was seen in heaven: a woman arrayed with the sun,
and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars;
and she was the child; and she crieth out, travailing in birth, and in pain to be delivered.
And there was seen another sign in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon,
having seven heads and tenhorns, and upon his heads seven diadems.
And his tail draweth the third part of the stars of heaven,
and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon standeth before the woman that is
about to be delivered, that when she is delivered he may devour her child.
And she was delivered of a son, a man child,
who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God,
and unto his throne. And the woman fled into the wilderness,
where she hath a place prepared of God,
that there they may nourish her a thousand two hundred and threescore days,"
(i.e., 1260 days)
 (Clarke's Commentary on Revelation Chapter 12)

Rev. 13.2  "And there was given unto him [the beast] a mouth speaking great
things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue
forty and two months."

and 13.5 - 42 months, 3 and 1/2 years.

(Clarke's Commentary on Revelation)
(Clarke's Commentary - Main Index)

Commentary

 1260 days - 3 and 1/2 revolutions on a 360 degree circle, or the Zodiac,
or 3 and 1/2 years on the Jewish calendar, which had 30-day months.

. 

In the next table, the 1260 x 3 years (126 months) to Christ's death is now repeated,
except this time using the lunar calendar, (also without intercalary months).
This time, instead of coming to AD 30, it will be 30 BC---the mirror of AD. 

The mid-point . 3 1/2 . is a Universal elementary idea worldwide:  
Examples are the judgment scene of the Egyptian Book of the Dead

The Weighing of the Heart
The Book of the Dead of Kenna
1405-1467 BC

This is one of the many depictions from the ancient Egyptians showing the heart
being weighed against the feather. They believed that, after death,
a person is guided to the Judgment Hall for this weighing of the heart.
According to James Churchward in The Sacred Symbols of Mu,
the feather is said to represent "truth" because it can be so easily blown away.
According to Joseph Campbell, in The Inner Reaches of Outer Space,
the feather is symbolic of Maat, goddess of the moral order of the universe.  

Note the seven spherical nodules along the pole from near the bottom on
up to the crossbeam. They are thought to correspond to the seven chakras
of the human body. There is another nodule above the beam, which may
represent a sphere of timeless consciousness beyond the earth plane.

The Pollen Path - Navaho Sand Painting

The Navajo sand painting of the Pollen Path

The above Navaho sand painting is used in a blessing ceremony. Joseph Campbell wrote: "The conformity of the imagery of this particular sand painting to the sense and symbolised experiences of the yogic sushumna is certainly astonishing, but not more so than many other concordances in the myths and ritual arts of peoples across the world."

He explained that the bounded area parallels archetypal symbols of  the "enclosed park," such as the interior of a temple, or an Earthly Paradise. The word, "paradise," comes from the Greek "paradeisos, meaning "enclosed park." The Old Persian word, "pairi," means "around," and "daeza," means "wall," giving "pairidaeza," meaning "enclosure."

The sand painting shows a corn plant with seven markers, which, according to Joseph Campbell, correspond to the seven chakras. From the bottom-upward, they are marked by the root, the five leaves, and the tassel. The two leaves marking the third and fourth chakras also show ears of corn. A lightning bolt from above strikes at the fourth marker, which is in the center. This corresponds, he wrote, to the vajra, "the thunderbolt of enlightenment" of Hindu and Buddhist iconography, which exactly fits with the fourth chakra, anahata, "where the sound is heard that is not made by any two things striking together."

Joseph Campbell continues:

"In Navaho myths and legends the god known as Sun Bearer, Tsohanoai,
possesses lightning-arrows. His domicile is above, in the sky, and when his
twin sons, conceived of him by an earthly virgin, Changing Woman, arrived
to receive from him the power and weapons with which to rid the world of
monsters, the solar power of which they then became possessed was so
great that when they returned to earth it had to be modified by a deity known
as Hastyeyalti (Talking God), maternal grandfather of the pantheon, in whom
male and female powers are combined. In the sand painting the realm of
operation of this second god is represented by a modified rainbow of two
colors, red and blue, symbolic respectively of solar energy and of water and
the moon. The high place onto which the twins descended from the heavenly
house of their father to earth was the central mountain of the world (locally,
Mt. Taylor in New Mexico; height, 11,302 feet) and the corresponding station
in the painting is at Chakra 4, anahata. Moreover, the root of the corn plant
is threefold, like Yuktatriveni in the muladhara. The pollen path commences
lower right and is of two colors, like the modified rainbow (or like the moon,
which is of both matter and light). But at the turn between the Spirit Bringers
the path becomes yellow and single (like the fire of blended breaths exploding
to ascend the sushumna; after which, in a sacred way, to an accompaniment
of chants and prayer, the sanctuary is entered."

The footprints show the path taken by initiate. The two figures below the enclosure are the guardian Spirit Bringers, which are similar to portal guardians in other traditions. Their hands suggest that the center path of the three roots is preferred, which leads along the stalk of the corn plant. The roots correspond to the root chakra, chakra 1, which is known as Yuktatriveni, "Three River Junction." The rainbow with the same two colors indicate an alternate path of unbalance of the duality attributes, yet meets the central path at the key marker, the heart chakra. Above the heart center, the path remains single, the color of pollen. The rainbow seems to correspond to concepts in the eastern tradition of Yoga. The subject breathes out of one nostril and breathes inward with the other. The breaths are imagined to go out one spine channel (or "snake)" and then back in through the other channel. The channels (or "spine snakes), called ida and pingala, are said to interlace like a double-helix, around the chakra centers. The two channels are associated with sun and moon, or male and female.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Considering the number 1260 itself, the tangent = 0.  1260 which is mentioned in Rev. 12:6,
the tangent of 126 = - 1.376381921
which is exactly the same as the Number of the Beast 666 = - 1.376381921

The number nine is considered very significant in myths and religions. Joseph Campbell points out how many important numbers, such as 108 and 432, add to nine. Over the months I had noted this many times, including crop circle events, dreams, myths and religions. Among the Biblical examples are 144,000, 1260, 360.

The most ancient form of Gematria, has all its numbers divisible by nine, and adding to nine or a multiple of nine.

Interestingly, 1260 is the number of days in 42 months, which is reckoned in reference to the moon; and the moon is 2160 miles in diameter.

Revelation 12 has the Woman With Child, who is taken to a place for the 3 1/2 time cycle.
1260 days = 3 1/2 years on the Jewish calendar and "a time, two times, and half a time"
= 1 + 2 + 1/2 = 3 1/2.
Near the beginning of Revelation it says the Son Of Man spoke with a voice of many waters.

In Revelation 17, in a different context, it says the waters are peoples, and multitudes. From the mouth of the Son of Man comes a double-edge sword. So, it could be that this is something that will be spoken by the many that will cut through the old belief systems at the end of the cycle.

Here is the definition as given by Zodhiates:

1260 dialogizomai To reckon through, to settle and
account. In the New Testament to consider, reason, discourse, whether
in silence by oneself or by discourse with others to
consider together, deliberate, debate; to dispute.
Syn (4648), to mark, consider; (4920), understand, put
things together; (4802), to discuss, examine together; (4817),
to reason, compute; (5282), to surmise.

BRANCH DAVIDIANS - WACO

David Koresh was a textbook example of a leader-focus.

It came down to you did what David said. He had an answer for everything.

All of the Branch Davidian victims appear to have been murdered by their leaders -- either by being shot or as a result of the arson-set fire.   Branch Davidians, a.k.a. Students of the Seven Seals

This is a sect that split away from the Seventh-Day Adventist church. Under their now deceased leader, David Koresh, it became a destructive, doomsday cult whose membership experienced a major loss of life in Waco, TX. Fragments of the original group still survive.

In 1999-AUG, an ex-FBI agent released to the press some long-suppressed information about the use of explosive tear-gas grenades at Waco. An investigation has been ordered. More revelations about what really happened at Waco are expected as time passes proceeds.

History of the group

The group that became popularly known as the Branch Davidians are traceable back to a splinter sect that broke away from the Seventh-Day Adventist Church (SDA) in 1942. The SDA church is well known for their belief in the imminent return of Jesus Christ to earth, for their special vegetarian dietary restrictions and for their retention of Saturday as their Sabbath.

The breakaway sect was founded by Victor Houteff, who had joined the SDA church in 1919. His beliefs deviated from main-line church doctrine. This became obvious when he wrote his book The Shepherd's Rod in 1930. In it, he outlined errors that he had found within the denomination. The book caused a minor crisis with the SDA denomination; some of its congregations dis-fellowshipped
members who followed the book. Houteff believed that Christ's return would only occur when at least a small number of Christians had been sufficiently purified. He believed that he was a messenger sent by God to conduct this cleansing. He saw his task as a brief one, consisting of:  
revealing the secret information contained in the scroll described in the Biblical book of Revelation, Chapter 5. This scroll has written on both sides a description of the events to occur when Christ returns and the world as we know it ends. The scroll had been protected by seven seals.   purifying a small group of Christians, and thereby trigger the second coming of Jesus Christ to Jerusalem, when the Downfall of Babylon (i.e. the end of the world) would occur and the Kingdom of David would be established.

He founded the Mt. Carmel Center near Waco TX with 11 followers in 1935. He called the group "The Shepherd's Rod" after his book title. They attempted to recruit membership from within the SDA church with only modest success. In 1942, he broke completely away from the SDA because the latter refused to grant conscientious objector status to its members during World War II. He
selected the name Davidian Seventh-Day Adventists for his organization. After the war, he started to recruit members internationally.

After Houteff's death in 1955, control of the Davidians passed to his wife Florence. She moved the community to a new location farther from Waco. She prophesied that the 1260 days mentioned in Revelation 11:3 would end and the Kingdom of David would be established on 1959-APR-22. Many hundreds of followers sold their possessions and moved to Mt. Carmel in anticipation of the "end
time". They were bitterly disappointed when April 23 dawned and it was business as usual around the world. The group almost did not survive the failure of the prophecy; only a few dozen members remained. Many had left to form the Davidian Seventh-Day Adventist Association which remains active to this day.

coming back to the last part of Daniel's prophecy of the Papacy as the Little Horn, Daniel said the Little Horn would continue "until a time, times and the dividing of time." To figure the amount of time the Papacy would commit blasphemy against the Most High, to wear out the saints of the Most High, and would think to change times and laws, we need to read Numbers 14:34 and Ezekiel 4:6: "After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, EACH DAY FOR A YEAR, shall ye bear your iniquities, EVEN FORTY YEARS, and ye shall know my breach of promise."

In Jewish prophecy a day is counted as a year, as shown above. Now in Daniel 7:25, the religious dictatorship of the Papacy was to be for a "time, times and the dividing of time." A time in Jewish prophecy represents 360 days of the Jewish calendar. So a day in prophecy equals also one year (Ezekiel 4:6), and since a time equals 360 days in one Jewish year, Times would be two years or
720 days. Dividing of time equals half a year, or half of 360 days, which would be 180 days. Now in Jewish prophecy a day is also counted as one year as in Ezekiel 4:6 and Numbers 14:34.

Here is a better way of explaining this:

TIME = 360 days or one year in prophecy

TIMES = 720 days or two years in prophecy

1/2 TIME = 180 days or 1/2 year in prophecy

TIME=360 TIMES=720 1/2 TIME=180 with a total of 3.1/2 YEARS = 1260

The starting point for the time, times, and the dividing of time, or the 1260 years of the Papal Religious Dictatorship would be when the last of the Three Kingdoms was destroyed. This Last Kingdom was the Ostrogoths. The decisive battle between the papal forces and the Ostrogoths was in 538 AD. It was then that the Papacy began to claim they were the "Corrector of Heretics"; hence, this began the tyrannical religious dictatorship of the Roman Catholic Church.

It was not until the year 1798 AD, that the Papacy completely lost control to dictate its authority to the world. General Berthier from France, during the Napoleonic Wars, was sent to the Vatican in 1798 to seize Pope Plus VI, and he was dethroned and banished into exile where he later died."

From the year 538 AD to 1798 AD is actually 1260 years, as the prophecy of Daniel predicted. Here is a diagram of the complete prophecy of Daniel the 7th chapter. The diagram covers a complete picture of the kingdoms of the world that were foretold from Babylon's 605 BC takeover of the known world, down through the centuries to the time when Pope plus IV was dethroned.

Now that we have learned what a beast is symbolic of in Scripture, let us again examine the 17th chapter of Revelation. As stated before, Babylon the Great represents ALL religions that teach Babylonian doctrines derived from the astrological worship of the Sun-god. This covers all the pagan religions and ALL Christian churches that have mingled heathenism with the sacred things
of God. "Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils; ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils." 1.Corinthians 10:21.

Now it's time to look at the Beast that ascends out of the Bottomless Pit, that the false religious systems of the World are riding on. In Revelation 17:7-18, we read the following: "And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. THESE SHALL MAKE WAR WITH THE LAMB, and the LAMB SHALL OVERCOME THEM: FOR HE IS LORD OF LORDS, AND KING OF KINGS: AND THEY
THAT ARE WITH HIM ARE CALLED, AND FAITHFUL. And he said unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the
earth." This prophecy, symbolizing a confederacy of false religious systems and political powers uniting against Jesus (the Lamb), and His people, is for us who live in these closing days of this world's history. The Key that unlocks this prophecy and shows who this beast is that ascends out of the Bottomless Pit, and when it makes its appearance, is in Revelation the 11th chapter.

We will compare prophecies of Revelation the 11th chapter with Revelation the 17th chapter. In Revelation the 11th chapter we read the following: "And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar and them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not: for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. And I will give power unto my TWO WITNESSES, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of earth. And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over the waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the Bottomless Pit SHALL MAKE WAR AGAINST THEM, AND SHALL OVERCOME THEM, AND KILL THEM. And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies THREE DAYS AND AN HALF: and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. And after THREE DAYS AND AN HALF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. And they heard a great Voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven. The second woe is past; and behold, the third woe cometh quickly. And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, THE KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD ARE NOW BECOME THE KINGDOMS OF OUR LORD, AND OF HIS CHRIST; AND HE SHALL REIGN FOR EVER AND EVER. And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and was, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. And the notions were angry, and thy wrath is come and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest DESTROY THEM WHICH DESTROY THE EARTH. And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail."

This prophecy will take us from the time the Papacy began to lose its controlling power to dictate to the world until the Second Coming of Jesus. In Revelation 11:1-5, it says: "And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and they that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and
measure it not: for it is given unto the Gentiles and the holy city shall they tread under foot FORTY AND TWO MONTHS. And I will give power unto my TWO WITNESSES, AND THEY SHALL PROPHESY A THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND THREESCORE DAYS CLOTHED IN SACKCLOTH. These are the TWO OLIVE TREES, and the TWO CANDLESTICKS standing before God of earth. And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth and devoureth their enemies: And if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed." Again we see this time period of 1260 days, which in prophecy represents 1260 years (Numbers 14:24; Ezekiel 4:6). The periods of 1260 days and 42 months are the same. The ancient Jewish calendar has 360 days in a year and 30 days in a month. Forty two months equals 1260 days (years in Bible prophecy).

42 months x 30 days = 1260 years

This prophecy is the same time period we studied in Daniel 7:25, the time, times and dividing of time, that the Papacy was foretold to "speak greet words against the Most High, wear out the saints of the Most High, think to change times and laws." This time period, as we examined, started in the year 538 AD and reached up through the centuries until 1798 AD when the French army seized Pope Plus VI, and sent him into exile where he died. Even though another Pope was reinstated soon afterwards, the Papacy lost its control to run the affairs of the world.

During this time of papal persecution the Holy Scriptures were kept from the ordinary people. The Papacy claimed only priests could interpret the Scriptures, and when the Scriptures were read it was usually given in Latin, which the great masses didn't understand. The suppression of the Holy Scriptures by the Papacy was also foretold in the symbols of the two witnesses, who were also symbolized as two olive trees, or two candlesticks. "...and I will give power unto my TWO WITNESSES, and they shall prophesy a THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND THREESCORE DAYS (1260 years) clothed in sackcloth. These are the TWO TREES, AND
THE TWO CANDLESTICKS STANDING BEFORE GOD of the earth." Revelation 11:3.4.

The most popular opinion found among the Doctors of Theology is that the two witnesses are two prophets that shall come during the Great Tribulation Period, while some say that this prophecy of the two witnesses has a two-fold meaning. However, the Scriptures and recorded history show that the prophecy about the two witnesses has indeed come to pass.

Jesus our Lord said: "And this Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a WITNESS UNTO ALL NATIONS and then shall the end come." Matthew 24:14. The Gospel taught from the Scriptures was to be a witness to all nations about the loving and saving power of Jesus Christ. It gives its hearers correction in right doing. It gives its believers hope for the future, and the promise of forgiveness for past sins through the sacrifice of Christ's death. "And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the Devil, who are taken captive by him at his will." 2.Timothy 2:26.

However, when the Roman Catholic Church became a religious dictatorship, the Scriptures were hidden from the vast population, and catechism was substituted instead of Bible study. The Gospel of the Bible became mingled with the pagan philosophies of Sun worship. The worship of the pagan Mother goddess became the idol of the Roman Catholic Church through the worship of the Virgin
Mary.' When the Gospel became perverted through Romanism, God always had a remnant people who were teaching the True Faith during the 1260 years the Papacy cast the Truth to the ground.  These faithful followers of Jesus were hunted down by papal authorities as heretics and criminals. They were tortured on the rack, burned at the stake; and it mattered not what age or sex, they were butchered in the name of Heaven.

When those faithful servants who proclaimed the sacred truths from the Old and New Testaments were tortured, murdered, thrown in dungeons and had to flee for their lives from the papal Inquisitors,  the True Faith was forced to go underground. The Gospel set forth in the Old and New Testament that had to be preached into all the world for a witness to all nations before Christ would come again, was forced into a state of obscurity. This is what is meant by Revelation 11:3, "And they shall prophesy a THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND THREESCORE DAYS CLOTHED IN SACKCLOTH."

Sackcloth was worn by the Israelites in times of trouble and grief. (2.Samuel 3:31, 1.Chronicles 21:15, 16; Isaiah 37:1). The sackcloth here mentioned in Revelation 11:3 was to mourn the suppression of the Old and New Testament by the papal authorities during the 1260 years. The two witnesses, the two olive trees, or the two candlesticks represented the light the Scripture gives its reader. The Olive Tree was the Israelites' source of oil to anoint their kings and priests. Oil has often, in Biblical language, been a symbol of the Holy Spirit. See Zechariah 4:1-14. The Candlestick represents the illumination a searcher of Truth receives in the heart when he makes the Word of God his standard to measure Truth to live by. 

"Thy word is a LAMP unto my feet, and a light unto my path." Psalms 119:105.

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." 2.Timothy 3:16

"And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouths, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy. And have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will." Revelation 11:5,6.

This prophecy is a parallel with that of Jesus in Revelation 22:18,19. "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of this prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the Holy City, and from the things which are written in this book."

666

Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond,
To receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

Rev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark,
or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast:
for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Revelation Chapter 13:18. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.] In this verse we have the very name of the beast given under the symbol of the number 666. Before the invention of figures by the Arabs, in the tenth century, letters of the alphabet were used for numbers. The
Greeks in the time of Homer, or soon after, are thought by some to have assigned to their letters a numerical value corresponding to their order in the alphabet: thus, a was 1, because the first letter; and w 24, being the last. It is in this manner that the books of the Iliad and Odyssey are numbered, which have been thus marked by Homer himself, or by some person who lived near his time. A
system of representing numbers of great antiquity was used by the Greeks, very much resembling that afterwards adopted by the Romans. This consisted in assigning to the initial letter of the name of the number a value equal to the number. Thus c, the initial of cilia, stood for a thousand; d, the initial of deka, for ten; p, the initial of pente, for five, &c. Herodotus, the grammarian, is the only
writer of antiquity who has noticed this system, and the chronological table of remarkable events on the Arundelian marbles the only work extant in which this method of representing numbers is exhibited. The system now in use cannot be traced to any very ancient source. What can be proved is, that it was in use before the commencement of the Christian era. Numerical letters, denoting the
year of the Roman emperor's reign, exist on great numbers of the Egyptian coins, from the time of Augustus Caesar through the succeeding reigns. See Numi AEgyptii Imperatorii, a Geo. Zoega, edit. Rom. 1787. There are coins extant marked of the 2d, 3d, 14th, 30th, 35th, 38th, 39th, 40th, 41st, and 42d years of Augustus Caesar, with the numerical letters preceded by L or l for lukabav,
year, thus: LB, Lg, Lid, Ll, Lle, Llh, Llq, Lm, Lma, and Lmb. The following is the Greek alphabet, with the numerical value of each letter affixed, according to the generally received system: - a - 1 I - 10 r - 100 b - 2 k - 20 s - 200 g - 3 l - 30 t - 300 d- 4 m - 40 u - 400 e - 5 n - 50 f - 500 z - 7 x - 60 c - 600 h - 8 o - 70 y - 700 q - 9 p - 80 w - 80 The method just described of representing numbers or letters of the alphabet, gave rise to a practice among the ancients of representing names also by numbers. Examples of this kind abound in the writings of heathens, Jews, and Christians. Where the practice of counting the number in names or phrases began first to be used, cannot be ascertained; it is sufficient for the illustration of the passage under consideration, if it can be shown to have been in existence in the apostolic age. Seneca, who was contemporary with St. Paul, informs us, in his eighty-eighth epistle, that Apion, the grammarian, maintained Homer to have been the author of the division of his poems of the Iliad and Odyssey into forty-
eight books; for a proof of which Apion produces the following argument: that the poet commenced his Iliad with the word mhnin, that the two first letters, whose sum is 48, might indicate such division. Leonidas of Alexandria, who flourished in the reigns of Nero, Vespasian, &c., carried the practice of computing the number in words so far as to construct equinumeral distichs; that is, epigrams of four lines, whose first hexameter and pentameter contain the same number with the other two. We will only notice two examples; the first is addressed to one of the emperors, the other to Poppaea, the wife of Nero.

quei soi tode gramma geneqlaikaisin en wraiv, kaisar, neilaih mousa lewnidew.

kalliophv gar akapnon aei quov? eiv de newta hn eqelhv, qusei toude perissotera.

"The muse of Leonidas of the Nile offers up to thee, O Caesar, this writing, at the time of thy nativity; for the sacrifice of Calliope is always without smoke: but in the ensuing year he will offer up, if thou wilt, better things than this." From the numerical table already given, the preceding epigram may be shown to contain equinumeral distichs, as follows: quei 424, i.e., q 9, u 400, e 5, i 10; in all 424: soi contains 280, i.e., s 200, o 70, i 10. In like manner tode will be found to contain 379, gramma 185, geneqliakaisin 404, en 55, wraiv 1111, kaisar 332, neilaih 114, mousa 711, lewnidew 1704. The sum of all these is 5699, the number in the first distich. In the second
distich, kalliophv contains 449, gar 104, akapnon 272, aei 16, quov 679, eiv 215, de 9, newta 1156, hn 58, eqelhv 267, (the subscribed iota being taken into the account,) qusei 624, toude 779, perissotera 1071. The sum of all 5699, which is precisely the same with that contained in the first distich.

ouranion meimhma geneqliakaisin en wraiv toutÆ apo neilogenouv dexo lewnidew, poppaia,
diov euni, sebastiav? euade gar soi dwra, ta kai lektrwn axia kai sofihv.

"O Poppaea, wife of Jupiter (Nero) Augusta, receive from Leonidas of the Nile a celestial globe on the day of thy nativity; for gifts please thee which are suited to thy imperial dignity and wisdom." In this epigram each of the distichs contains the number 6422, viz., ouranion 751, (i.e., o 70, u 400, r 100, a 1, n 50, i 10, o 70, n 50, the sum of which is 751,) meimhma 144, geneqliakaisin 404, en 55,
wraiv 1111, toutÆ 1070, apo 151, neilogenouv 893, dexo 139, lewnidew 1704; the sum of all 6422. The numbers corresponding to the words of the second distich are, respectively, 322, 284, 465, 919, 415, 104, 280, 905, 301, 31, 1305, 72, 31, 988; the sum of which is also 6422.

This poet did not restrict himself to the construction of equinumeral distichs. The following is one of his distichs in which the hexameter line is made equal in number to its corresponding pentameter: - eiv prov ena yhfoisin isazetai, ou duo doioiv, ou gar eti stergw thn dolicografihn.

"One line is made equal in number to one, not two to two; for I no longer approve of long epigrams." In this distich the words of the hexameter line contain, respectively, the numbers 215, 450, 56, 1548, 534, 470, 474, and 364; the sum of which is 4111. The numbers corresponding to the words of the pentameter line are, respectively, 470, 104, 315, 1408, 358, and 1456; the sum of which is also 4111. The equinumeral distichs of Leonidas are contained in the second volume of Brunck and Jacob's edition of the Greek Anthology. It appears from ancient records that some of the Greeks in the early part of the second century, if not in the apostolic age, employed themselves in counting the numbers contained in the verses of Homer to find out what two consecutive lines were isoyhfoi or equinumeral. Aulus Gellius, the grammarian, who lived in the reigns of Hadrian and Antoninus Pius, gives us an account (lib. xiv., cap. 6) of a person who presented him with a book filled with a variety of information collected from numerous sources, of which he was at liberty to avail himself in writing his Attic Nights. Among the subjects treated of in this book, we are informed by Gellius, was that of Homeric equinumeral verses. None of the examples are given by the grammarian; but Labbeus says, in his Bibl. Nov. MSS., p. 284, that the equinumeral verses are marked in the Codex 2216, in the French king's library. Gronovius, in his notes on Gellius, p. 655, has copied what he found in a MS. (No. 1488) upon this subject, viz., two examples out of the Iliad, and one in the Odyssey. The
examples in the Iliad are lines 264 and 265 of book vii., each line containing 3508; and lines 306 and 307 of book xix., each containing 2848. The verses in the Odyssey (w, 110, 111) stated to be equinumeral in the MS. cited by Gronovius have not now this property, owing possibly to some corruption that may have taken place in the lines from frequent transcription.

For other examples of the computation of the number in words or phrases, the reader is referred to the Oneirocritica of Artemidorus, lib. ii. c. 75; lib. iii. c. x24: and lib. iv. c. 26. See also Martiani Minei Felicis Capelhae Africarthaginensis, Deuteronomy Nuptiis Philologiae et Mercurii, lib. ii. and vii.; Irenaeus adversus Haereses, lib. i., ii., and v.; Tertullian. de Praescriptionibus Haeret.,
tom. ii., p. 487; Wirceburgi, 1781; Sibyll. Oracul., lib. i., &c. Having thus shown that it was a practice in the apostolic age, and subsequently, to count the number in words and phrases, and even in whole verses, it will be evident that what is intended by 666 is, that the Greek name of the beast (for it was in the Greek language that Jesus Christ communicated his revelation to St. John) contains this number. Many names have been proposed from time to time as applicable to the beast, and at the same time containing 666. We will only notice one example, viz., that famous one of Irenaeus, which has been approved of by almost all commentators who have given any sort of tolerable exposition of the Revelation. The word alluded to is lateinov, the letters of which have the following numerical values: l 30, a 1, t 300, e 5, i 10, n 50, o 70, v 200; and if these be added together, the sum will be found to be equivalent to the number of the beast. This word was applied by Irenaeus, who lived in the second century, to the then existing Roman empire; "for," says he, "they are LATINS who now reign." Though it is evident, from the notes on the preceding part of this chapter, that the conjecture of Irenaeus respecting the number 666 having some way or other a reference to the empire of the Latins is well founded; yet his production of the word lateinov, as containing 666, is not a proof that it has any such reference.

Bellarmin the Jesuit objected against lateinov being the name intended in the prophecy from its orthography; for, says he, it should be written latinov. That the objection of the learned Jesuit has very great force is evident from every Greek writer extant, who has used the Greek word for Latinus, in all of whom it is uniformly found without the dipthong. See Hesiod, Polybius, Dionysus of
Halicarnassus, Strabo, Plutarch, Dio Cassius, Photius, the Byzantine historians, &c., &c. It hence follows that if the Greek word for Latinus had been intended, the number contained in latinov, and not that in lateinov, would have been called the number of the beast. We have already observed that the beast is the Latin kingdom or empire; therefore, if this observation be correct, the Greek words
signifying the Latin kingdom must have this number. The most concise method of expressing this among the Greeks was as follows, Æh latinh basileia, which is thus numbered:-h == 8 } THE l == 30 } L a == 1 } A t == 300 } T i == 10 } I n == 50 } N b == 2 } K a == 1 } I s == 200 } N i == 10 } G l == 30 } D e == 5 } O i == 10 } M a == 1 } - 666 No other kingdom on earth can be found to contain 666. This is then h sofia, the wisdom or demonstration. A beast is the symbol of a kingdom; THE beast has been proved, in the preceding part of this chapter, to be the LATIN kingdom; and Æh latinh basileia, being shown to contain, exclusively, the number 666, is the demonstration.

Having demonstrated that Æh latinh basileia, The Latin kingdom, is the name of the beast, we must now examine what is intended by the phrase in the 17th verse, the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Bishop Newton supposes that the name of the beast, and the number of his name, mean the same thing; but this opinion is totally irreconcilable with chap. xv. 2, where St. John informs us
that he "saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire, and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over the number of his name, stand upon the sea of glass, having the harps of God." In this passage it is evident that the beast, his image, and the number of his name, are perfectly distinct; and therefore no two of them can mean the same thing. Hence what is meant by the name of the beast is entirely different from that intended by the number of his name. But how can this be, when it is expressly declared that the number of the beast is 666, which number is declared to be that of his name? The solution of the whole mystery is as follows: Both beasts of the Apocalypse, we have already shown, have the same appellation; that it to say, the name of the first and second least is equally Æh latinh basileia, the Latin kingdom; therefore, by the name of the beast is meant the Latin kingdom, and by the number of his name is also meant the Latin kingdom. Hence only one of the beasts is numbered; the name of that which is not numbered is termed the name of the beast, and the numbered Latin empire is denominated the number of his name, or 666, exactly agreeable to an ancient practice already noticed, of representing names by the numbers contained in them. Therefore the meaning of the whole passage is, that those whom the false prophet does not excommunicate, or put out of the pale of his Church, have the mark of the beast, that is, are genuine papists, or such as are actively or passively obedient to his Latin idolatry. Those also escape his ecclesiastical interdicts who have the name of the beast, or the number of his name. By a person having the name of the beast is evidently meant his being a Latin, i.e., in subjection to the Latin empire, and, consequently an individual of the Latin world; therefore those that have the name of the beast, or the number of his name, are those that are subjects of the Latin empire, or of the numbered Latin empire, viz., who are in subjection to the Latin empire, secular or spiritual. All that were in subjection to the secular or spiritual power were not papists in heart; hence the propriety of distinguishing those which have the mark from those which have the name of the beast or the number of his name. But which of the two beasts it is which God has numbered has been not a little contested. That it is the first beast which is numbered has been the prevailing opinion. On this side are Lord Napier, Whiston, Bishop Newton, Faber, and others. Among those that have supposed the second beast to be the one which is numbered are, Dr. Henry More, Pyle, Kershaw, Galloway, Bicheno, Dr. Hales, &c. Drs. Gill and Reader assert that both beasts have the same number, and that the name is lateinov. Though it has been demonstrated that the name of the beast is the Latin kingdom, it is impossible from the mere name to say whether it is the Latin empire, SECULAR or SPIRITUAL; hence the necessity of determining which of the two beasts God has computed. That it is the second beast which is numbered is evident from three different passages in the Apocalypse. The first is in ver. 17, where it is said, "that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." Here the name of the beast is mentioned before the number of his name, which is a presumptive evidence that the name of the beast refers to the first beast, and the number of his name to the second. The second passage is in Revelation xv. 2, where mention is made of "them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over the number of his name." That here styled the beast is evidently the secular Latin empire, for it was to this that the two-horned beast made an image; consequently there can be no doubt that the number of his name, or the numbered Latin empire, is the two-horned beast or false prophet. To feel the full force of this argument, it must be considered that the saints of God are represented as getting the victory over the beast as well as over the number of his name, which is a proof that two distinct antichristian empires are here spoken of, for otherwise it would be tautology. That the two-horned beast is the one which is numbered, is farther evident from a comparison of this passage with chap. xix. 20. 

In the latter passage the words are: "And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image." Here nothing is said of the number of his name, which is so particularly mentioned in chap. xv. 2, and in that chapter nothing is mentioned of the false prophet,
the reason of which can only be, that what is termed in one passage the number of his name, is in its parallel one called the false prophet. Hence the two-horned beast, or false prophet, is also designated by the phrase the number of his name; and consequently it is this beast which is numbered. But what adds the last degree of certainty to this argument is the passage in ver. 18: "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath a mind count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man: and his number is six hundred threescore and six." Here is the solution of this mystery: let him that hath a mind for investigations of this kind, find out a kingdom which contains precisely the number 666, for this must be infallibly the name of the beast. Æh latinh basileia, THE LATIN KINGDOM, has exclusively this number. But both beasts are called by this name; which is, therefore, the one that is numbered? It is said the number of the beast is the number of a man; consequently the numbered beast must be A MAN, that is, it must be represented elsewhere in the Revelation under this emblem, for in no other sense can an empire be denominated a man. Therefore, it is not the ten-horned beast, for this is uniformly styled The Beast in every part of the Apocalypse where there has been occasion to mention this power. It can therefore be no other than the two-horned beast, or Romish hierarchy; which, on account of its preaching to the world its most antichristian system of doctrines, and calling it Christianity, is likewise named in chap. xvi. 13; xix. 20; and chap. xx. 10, THE FALSE PROPHET.

666 THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST

FORTY-TWO

Forty-two is a number connected with Antichrist. An important part of his career is to last for 42 months (Rev 11:2, 13:5), and thus this number is fixed upon him. Another number of Antichrist is 1260, and this is 30x42.

Its factors are six and seven (6x7=42), and this shows a connection between man and the Spirit of God, and between Christ and Antichrist:

Forty-two stages of Israel's wanderings mark their conflict with the will of God. Forty-two young men mocked the ascension of Elijah to Elisha, 2 Kings 2:23,24.

Being a multiple of seven, it might be supposed that it would be connected with spiritual perfection. But it is the product of six times seven. Six, therefore, being the number of Man, and of man's opposition to God, forty-two becomes significant of the working out of man's opposition to God.

There may be something more in the common phrase about things being all "sixes and sevens." They are so, indeed, when man is mixed up with the things of God, and when religious "flesh" engages in spiritual things.

13 x 18 = 234
The tangent of 234 is the same as 666 except the tangent is positive rather than negative like 126
and 666

The number 234 came to light in the crop circle which appeared at Barbury Castle in 1991

The uppermost circle which was the alchemical trinity sun/sulphur symbol was at 0 degrees. This is the father aspect of the creation trinity.

The entire cropcircle which is a triangle should have had equal sides. The lower right circle which represents the alchemical  Mercury/Quicksilver or the creation trinity son was at 120 degrees.  

The circle on the lower left which was south-west represents the alchemical trinity of moon/salt or the feminine aspect of the creation trinity or the mother aspect.

The lower left circle should have been at 240 degrees for it to be a balanced equilateral triangle, but instead it was 6 degrees off at 234.

Isis Unveiled, gives an insight as to what the words "In the Name which is above every Name" might have been intended to convey. It would appear that they refer to the very beginning of the differentiation and combination of cosmic energies such as are necessary for the evolution of form and life.

Aditi, the Glory of God above gives a symbolic representation of the first phase of evolution. The word "Aditi" is probably related to the Greek word "Adytum" which means the sanctum, which is impenetrable. A very apt description, for the sanctum of the Glory of God is indeed impenetrable, unapproachable, dimensionless and timeless. Ancient Wisdom has it that in this timeless and dimensionless space appears a triangle. In the corners of this triangle appear the sacred letters A U M, forming a word often chanted during certain invocations. From the same word is derived the word ‘Amen’ as is used as an affirmation in Christian worship. Within this triangle there is as yet no differentiation. This phase is often referred to as "God sleeps", or "God slumbers". Without differentiation, there is no Name. Within this triangle there is but nameless undifferentiated cosmic energy.

It is from the two upper ribs of the triangle that the Mother ray and the Father ray emanate. The side of the Mother ray is shown by a broken line, which has a deep significance. It is said that the Mother aspect escapes through the spaces in the broken line. As Mother, she creates Space. In the Book of the Wisdom of Solomon she is described as "Mightily and sweetly doth she order all
things … for she is privy to the mysteries of the knowledge of God". She creates not just any space, but a special Space of cosmic energy, being privy to the mysteries.

The broken line has a symbolic connection with the rib of Adam, from which it is said Eve is to have been made. The vertical spinal column and the horizontal ribs are symbolic of the Cross on which mankind is crucified. The vertical column is the masculine aspect in mankind, symbolised by Adam being created as an upright being. The feminine aspect is symbolised by the ribs, which lie perpendicular to the spinal column. The vertical spinal column represents the Will of the Father, whereas the ribs represent the creative power of the Holy Ghost, because by the ribs we are able to partake in creative arts, such as speaking, singing, but also in the use of our arms, which derive their strength from the ribs to which they are attached. In Genesis 3:20, the woman is named Eve
because she is "the mother of all living", again a very apt description.

The Father and Mother rays have distinct roles in the creation of the worlds and all that live therein. The Father ray is that of the divine Will, the ideation by which the emanation of life is to take place.

In Christianity this is known as the work of God the Father, the initiator. The Mother ray is that of the creator of Form. If one only thinks of the complexities of the evolution of chemistry which must have taken place to make it possible to provide a body even for the amoebae, one is filled with awe at what the creative power of the Mother ray must be capable of. In Christianity, this is often associated with God the Holy Ghost, in rituals symbolised by the colour red, the fiery power to create, to heal and to instruct. As the Mother she instructs and emboldens mankind to have courage and be master of the martial arts, for how else would mankind ever return to God the Father?

The A.U.M. which is the same shape is an inscription that has baffled scholars and scientists throughout the world, the Hindus included, for more than 2,300 years. Its import was lost when the  Naacals were driven out of India by the Brahmans. Many scholars have attempted to fathom its meaning. NOne, however, arrived at any satisfactory conclusions; even the oldes are indefinite.  

Examples:

Manava dharma Sastra an ancient Hindu book. Book 2. Sloka 74. "In the beginning the Infinite only existed called Aditi. In this Infinite dwelt A U M whose name must precede all prayers and invocations."

Book of Manu, Sloka 77. "The monosyllable A U M means earth, sky, and heaven."

I.T. Wheeler, History of India, Vol. 2. Page 481 says:  "As regards the three letters A U M little can be gathered, excepting, that when brought together in the word A U M they are said by Manu to form a symbol of the Lord of created things - Brahma."

H.T. Colebrook in Asiatic Research says: "According to Noruka which is an ancient glossary of the vedas the syllable A U M  refers to every Deity.  "The Brahmans may reserve for their initiates an esoteric more ample than that given by Manu."  Noruka must have been reading a brahmanical version of the Vedas, which they stole from the Naacals, changed it to suit their own vile purposes and then foisted it on the world as their own writings.

The Original Vedas are a Naacal writing. The Naacals acknowledged One Deity only. Therefore, when Noruka mentions "every Deity" it shows without the possibility of contradiction that the Vedas which he refers to were altered and doctored and were not the original writings.

A U M  conveys identically the same meaning and conception as the Mysterious Writing and Niven's Mexican tablet No. 2379. The difference between these and A U M is in the form of the writing. The Mysterious Writings and the Mexican tablet are in the old temple esoteric numeral writing. The Hindu A U M  is written in alphabetical symbols which reads:

Note: U is here used as the feminine pronoun - She. M would have been used but it would have been confounded with the following M for Mehan.

The Brahmans formed a complicated theology around this conception, introducing a confusion absolutely incomprehensible to the people. It became a wonderful breeder of awe and superstition.

THE NAME 'CHANDRA'

The meaning of the name 'Chandra' is 'moon'.
This is an Eastern Indian Name
