British-israel.us -- Bible SYMBOLS Defined

• Afflict (soul) -- Fast (Isa. 58:5; Ps. 35:13) which has the double meaning of accelerate.
• Arrows -- bitter words (Gen. 37:4)
• Amen -- Amen-hotep (sungod) or our Lord whose name is Amen (Rev. 3:14; 2 Cor. 1:20) -- Truth.
• Angel -- Messenger (Daniel 8:16; 9:21, Luke 1:19, 26, Hebrews 1:14); Star
• Americans -- "world-beaters" (has a good and bad connotation); "Yanks" sounds like ankh, a pagan cross. "A number of men" (Rev. 13:18) is 666. "Rank" is stink. Manasseh means "Forget".
• Actor -- One who follows a Script(ure) from memory (good); alternately the word for Greek (Javanese) actors was "hypocrites" (bad) because nobody wants to acknowledge the "elephant in the room" by stating the unpopular truth that "The Emperor has no clothes." They want to conform to "the majority." Wishful thinking becomes hypocrisy.
• Arians -- Herodotus says the Medians were ARII (7:68). Reuben, Gad and half-Manasseh were placed by Tiglath-Pileser in the mountain district of Great Media, a region expressly called HARA (1 Chr. 5:26; Ar being a mountain). In fact all ten tribes of Israel were placed in the "cities of the Medes" (2 Ki. 17:6). Also the Arian language is Hebraic, and like Hebrew, has three sibillants (Moore, Lost Tribes, pp.288-290, 299). HARA was named ARIA, ARIANA and ARACHOSIA by the Greeks (see Ptolemy). It contains the city of HARAT. According to the black obelisk discovered in the ruins of the palace of Nimrod which is now in the British Museum, the people or leader of the ARIANS was called ESAKSKA (Isaac) and their principal cities were "Beth-Telabon, Beth-Everak and Beth-Tsida" in 670 B.C. These ARIANS must have migrated to Thrace because, according to Stephanus, Thrace was called ARIA. Diodorus Siculus says, "many conquered peoples were removed to other homes, and two of these became very great colonies: the one was composed of Assyrians and was removed to the land between Paphlagonia and Pontus, and the other was drawn from MEDIA and planted along theTanais (the River Don in ancient Scythia -- the modern Ukraine, north of the Black Sea, in southern Russia)." (2:43) Notice the areas from which these colonies came -- Assyria and MEDIA. The very areas to which the House of Israel was taken captive! "So was Israel carried away out of their own land TO ASSYRIA unto this day" (2 Kings 17:23). "The king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away INTO ASSYRIA and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the River of Gozan, and in the CITIES OF THE MEDES" (2 Ki. 17:6). Herodotus also mentions a people "north of Thrace" "who dress in the MEDIAN fashion" and "claim to be colonists from MEDIA" (5:9). From Thrace they migrated to Germany since Tacitus mentions the HARII there in SE Germany (Ger.43). The Thracian SCYTHIANS pricked and stained their bodies (Herod. 5); so did the ARII of Germany (Tacitus); the BELGAE of Britain (Caesar de Bell. Gall.), and the PIKS of Norway and Scotland (Herodian; Claudian). We believe that ARIANS or Nordic peoples are found primarily in NW Europe today. Their mission is to BLESS all nations of the earth (Gen. 22:18; Micah 5:7). Rawlinson (in "Herodotus", essay iii, p.325) says, "that the Medes were a branch of the great ARIAN family, closely allied both in language and religion to the Persians (Keturah's descendants?), another ARIAN tribe, seems now to be generally admitted....Darius Hystaspes, in the inscription upon his tomb, declares himself to be a Persian, the son of a Persian, an ARIAN of ARIAN descent." (p.77. Who Are We? By Harrison)The word aristocrateia meant primarily the rule of the Arii (nobility). The Gothic Her is a cognate. These Arians did not spring from Japheth.

• Babylon -- Rome & Constantinople (Rev. 17); New York, Meccah & America (Rev. 18) -- apostasy, confusion, rebellion (Gen 10:8-10; 11:6-9, Rev 18:2-3; 17:1-5)

• Black -- black (horse) -- Roman famine and death (Lam. 5:10; Matt. 24:7; Rev. 6:5; Job 10:21) and judgment of sin (Jude 13); grief. “You removed my sackcloth (grief) and clothed me with joy” (Psalm 30:11; Jer. 14:2; Job 30:28,30). Two witnesses are "clothed in (black -- 6:12) sackcloth" (11:3) because they're mourning (Ps. 30:11). Why are they mourning? Because they are hungry, poor, hated (Luke 6:2) and persecuted "for righteousness' sake" (Matt. 5:10). The "world hath hated them because they are not of the world" (John 17:14). "Because you are not of the world... the world hates you" (John 15:19). "Everyone that doeth evil hateth the light ...lest his deeds should be reproved (John 3:20). Christianity is not about "winning friends."

• Cock's crow -- Mishna Bava Kamma 7:7 says, "We may not raise chickens in Jerusalem." Cock's crow refers to the "call of the man" (Temple Crier in Temple precinct) or "call of the rooster" everywhere else (Gemara Yoma 20b). What did the Crier say? ""Rise up, O priests, to your service, and Levites, to your platform, and Israelites to your posts!" (Matt. 26; Mk 13:35; Mk 14; Luke 22:61; John 13:38).
• Cush -- pronounced in Chaldee "Khawos", which without the digamma, becomes "Khaos." "The ancients called me (Janus) CHAOS" (Ovid Fasti 1:5:104) "Bel is confounded" (Jer.50:2) meaning "the Confounder is brought to confusion." He "divided the speeches of men ... then discord began" (Hyginus Fab 143,p.114). The symbol of Janus is a club used to "break in pieces" (Pr. 25:18; Jer. 51:20) just as Cush's Tower of Babel scattered men abroad. "Cup" is "Khus" in Chaldee.

• Eyes -- Spiritual Discernment (Matthew 13:10-17, 1John 2:11)
• Euphrates -- Drying up (Rev. 16:12) means fall of Turkey just as "swelling of the Jordan" (Jer. 49:19) means rise of Israel. Compare Isaiah 8:7 -- Assyria.
• Earthquake -- political upheaval. It signifies "the REMOVING of those THINGS that are SHAKEN ... that those THINGS which cannot be shaken may REMAIN.... a KINGDOM which cannot be moved" (Heb. 12:27-28).
• East, West, North and South -- "forward", "backward", "left" and "right" (KJV) denote "east", "west", "north" and "south" -- the spectator being supposed to look toward the rising sun (Job 23:8-9). Thus Ishmaelites dwelt "before" (east of) Egypt (Gen. 25:18; also Gen. 16:7; Ex. 15:22; 1 Sam. 15:7). Mahaneh-dan "behind" (west of) Kirjath-jearim. The Mediterranean Sea is called "the uttermost" (western) sea (Deut. 11:24; Joel 2:20; Zech. 14:8). The wind of the sea is the west wind (Ex. 10:19). The west side is in Hebrew the seaward side (Ex. 27:12; 38:12). Right hand (south) (Josh. 17:7; 2 Ki. 23:13; 1 Sam. 24:24). Left hand (north) (Gen. 14:15; Josh. 19:27). The Romans considered as unfortunate all omens relating to human affairs that occurred on the left side: For instance Virgil said, "If my mind had not been perverted" (literally had not been on the left side). It was the reverse of this when the heavens were to be consulted, as the right hand of the divinity was supposed to be to the left of the person looking upward, and making his appeal." (A New Dictionary of Quotations by John Farquhar Shaw, p.424)

"FALSE teachers ... speak great SWELLING words of vanity ... they promise ... liberty" (equality and fraternity) but they themselves "are the servants of CORRUPTION" (2 Pet. 2:1-19).

The Lord's "fury" is "upon all their ARMIES ... all the HOST of HEAVEN (government) shall be dissolved ... fall down" (34:2-4). "Spiritual wickedness in the HEAVENLIES" (Eph. 6:12). "The LIGHT of the wicked shall be put out" (Job 18:5). As Jesus said, "After the tribulation of those days shall the SUN be darkened, and the MOON shall not give its light, and the STARS shall fall from heaven" (Jerusalem destroyed 70 A.D.) (Matt 24:29).

• Keys -- of knowledge (Luke 11:52); of David (Rev. 3:7); of kingdom (Matt. 16:19); but not perfectly understood at "Caius College" (Latin). Janus (Nimrod) and Cybele (Semiramis) each had a key to supposedly open the doors of the kingdom of heaven. The key was the mark of sacred or civil office. Ancient keys were of great size, and might well be borne upon the shoulder. Aratus compares the constellation Cassiopeia to a key. "When the bi-folding door the warder bars, His crooked key depicts her glittering stars." (Aratus Phaen. v. 192)

The CRESCENT is a "HORN" (Rev. 5:6; 9:13) on Capricorn, or a "SICKLE" (14:14), or a two-edged "SWORD" (1:16; 2:12,16; 6:4; 19:15,21) that comes as a thief in the night (3:3) in the hand of Sagittarius. Two opposing CRESCENTS form a "BOTTOMLESS PIT" (9:2). The HALF MOON phase or thereabouts is a "BOWL" (16:2), or "CUP" (17:4; 18:6) in Virgo's hand.

• Naamah -- Noah's wife, seduced (Lev. 18:6) and taken by Ham to Babylon where she became Noah's Nemesis (Naamah + Isis: Gen. 4:22) -- like the whore of Rev. 17 with wine cup in her hand to make Noah (and the world) drunk. Kronus (Ham) used a sickle to castrate and depose Uranus (Noah), his father, with the help of Gaiea (Naamah) his mother.

• Scythian -- Herodotus says, "SACAE is the name the Persians give to all SCYTHIAN tribes" (7:64) because "in ISAAC shall thy seed be called" (Gen. 21:12).
• Shiloh -- "Go wash in the pool of Siloam, which is by interpretation, SENT" (John 9:7) The Vulgate Latin translation renders Shiloh (Gen. 49:10) as "He who is or shall be SENT". "As the Father hath SENT me, so SEND I you" (John 20:20). Hence, Paul calls "Jesus Christ the Apostle, ie "the One SENT" (Heb. 13:1).
• Saints -- "his people ... all his saints ... the children of Israel" (Ps. 148:14). "You only have I known of all the families of the earth" (Amos 3:2). "I called him (Abraham) alone" (Isa. 51:2).

• "Some" -- "in the latter times (Christian dispensation -- 1 Pet. 1:20; Gen. 49:1,10) SOME shall depart from the faith" which means MANY -- the Roman Catholic Church. For instance, "If SOME of the branches be broken off.... God hath concluded them ALL in unbelief" (Rom. 11:17, 32); and when Paul mentions "SOME of the Israelites as idolaters", Moses specifies the same as "ALL the people" (1 Cor. 10:7; Ex. 32:3, 6). Also, when Paul spoke of "SOME" murmurers, Moses described them as "ALL the children of Israel" (1 Cor. 10:17; Nu. 14:2).
• Smoke -- Heresy that obscures the light (Rev. 9:2) or God's anger (2 Sam. 22:9; Deut. 29:20). Thy Word (the Bible) is a lamp (Ps. 119:105); therefore the Koran must be dark smoke that obscures that light.
• Shadows -- Priests who offer GIFTS "serve unto the example and SHADOW of heavenly things" (Heb. 8:5); "For the law having a SHADOW of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those SACRIFICES which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect" (Heb. 10:1).
• Sabbath -- A type of the Millenium after 6000 years: "a thousand years is as a day" (2 Pet. 3:8; Ps. 90:4; Heb. 4:9; Col. 2:16-17; Rev. 20:1-6) Adam died the 1st day after living 930 years since "in the day thou eatest thereof, thou shalt surely die" (Gen. 2:17).
• Sam -- the last representative judge of Israel (Ex. 20:19; 1 Sam 8:7) that God spoke through was rejected in favor of a human king instead. ("persona non grata") Uncle Sam has been rejected by Americans. Manasseh ("Forget") forgot God. Using "separation of church and state" as an excuse, the Bible has been removed from our schools and government. "The LORD said unto SAMuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not (only) rejected thee, but THEY HAVE (also) REJECTED ME, that I should not reign over them." (1 Sam. 8:7) The Bible is how he COACHES us and TRAINS us to transform us into "Sam-sons".
• Sun -- The SUN visually becomes part of the constellation it is travelling through. The sun is one of seven "EYES" of the Lamb (Aries) (Rev. 5:6) or the flaming "EYES" of Sagittarius (1:14; 2:18; 19:12). It is one of the "SEALS" keeping the Milky Way scroll closed (6:1; 8:1) or Satan (Cetus) bound (20:3) or God's servants protected (7:3). It is a "golden CROWN" on Sagittarius's head (2:10; 6:2; 9:7; 14:14) or "ten CROWNS" on the ten horns of Cancer (13:1). It is a "golden CENSER" (8:3) in the hand of Sagittarius, and a "golden ALTAR" (9:13) of Capricorn -- since both a goat and an altar have horns. The SUN is the "FACE" (10:1) or halo of Orion and "FIRE" in Gemini (11:5; 13:13; 16:8; 20:9) or Cancer (17:16). The SUN "CLOTHES" Virgo (12:1) and also makes her look pregnant "WITH CHILD" (12:2). The SUN is a "golden CUP" (15:7) or bucket in Aquarius's hand that is poured out, or the "GLORY" (18:1) of Ophiuchus. As a solar eclipse, both SUN and MOON form a "BOTTOMLESS PIT" (20:1) or "LAKE OF FIRE" (20:10,14-15) in Aries or Virgo (21:8) (and GOLD RING). The sun is also a symbol for Jesus / the gospel (Psalms 84:11, Malachi 4:2, Matthew 17:2, John 8:12; 9:5).

• Tail -- false prophet (Isa. 9:14-15)
• Ten tribes (lost) -- ten servants (Luke 19:11-27); ten virgins (Matt.25); ten pieces of silver (Luke 15:8) or ten lepers (Luke 17:12)

• Tabernacle -- human body (2 Cor. 5:1)
• Times -- Don't observe "TIMES" (Lev. 19:26; Deut. 18:10-14). Paul is referring to pagan celebrations in Gal. 4:8-11 (Sunday, Easter, X-mas). "Many were superstitiously addicted to the observance of TIMES, and made divination and conjectures upon them ... In the celebration of these TIMES (they) set up lamps in the marketplace, and crown their doors with garlands" (Bingham's Antiquities of the Christian Church, pp. 1123,1124).
• Tree -- Cross; People (Isa. 61:3); Nation (Deuteronomy 21:22-23, Psalms 92:12; 37:35). "All flesh is GRASS" (Isa. 40:6; 51:12) and "the glory of man like the FLOWER" (1 Pet. 1:24; James 1:10). "When the wicked spring like GRASS and ... do flourish... they shall be destroyed forever" (Ps. 92:7). All human rulers are TREES. "The TREE ... it is thou" (Nebuchadnezzar) (Dan. 4:20-22). "The Assyrian was a CEDAR" (Ez. 31:3; Judges 9:8-15). King David sang, "I am like a green OLIVE TREE " (Ps. 52:8) and the Jewish nation is likened to a FIG TREE (Luke 21:29-31). Green trees signify the righteous and dry trees the wicked (Job 15:30; Ps. 1:3; Jer. 17:8; Ez. 20:46-47; 21:3-4; Hosea 14:8; Luke 23:31).
• Tree of Life -- Obedience to the Bible (Rev. 22:14)

• Unclean (person or thing) -- Not immersed in water; not baptized. Since uncleanness is inevitable, why did Paul say no unclean person will inherit the Kingdom of God? (Gal. 5:19-21; Eph.5:3-6; Col. 3:5-6; 1 Cor. 6:9-10) Because some uncleanness is a deliberate choice: masturbating for men and refusing to practice Niddah (separation & bathing for 7 of every 28 days) for women.

• Vineyard -- Church that should bear fruit (Luke 20:9-16); house of Israel (Isa. 5:7)
• Vine -- Children of Israel (Ps. 80:8; Hos. 10:1); men of Judah - vine of Sorek (Isa. 5:1-7; Jer. 2:21); Jesus - the true vine (John 15:1)
