• Goat -- Greece (Daniel 8:21); Islam
• Gopher Wood -- Cypress wood because the radical consonants in the Greek and Hebrew words are the same; for Cypress in Hiberno Celtic is Cufar; and because the cypress is eminently distinguished for its durability, and the power of resisting injuries incidental to other kinds of wood; while its resinous properties would tend to render it impervious to water. Most writers favor the idea that the ark was built in Babylonia or Chaldea, where history relates that there was so great a quantity of Cypress, in the groves, in the time of Alexander the Great, that that prince built a whole fleet out of it, for want of other timber. Even Chaldean tradition makes Xisuthrus set sail from that country.
• Grass -- "All flesh is grass" (Isa. 40:6).
• Grace -- Unmerited favor; gift of God (Eph. 2:20)
• Grove -- Obelisk or steeple. Isis the wife of Osiris honored his phallic member by setting up images of it in temples for worship (Eusebius Preparation For Gospel, p.60) after Typhon (Shem) had cast it into a river.
• Great City -- Roman Empire. Since our Lord is said to have been crucified in the great city, and since the great city undoubtedly means Rome, it is evident that it cannot mean literal Rome, because our Lord never was crucified there. But he was crucified in the Roman Empire. Notice that a tenth of this city fell (Rev. 11:13) just as the Roman beast has ten horns or kingdoms confirming that it is more than a mere city. On July 11 AD 212 Emperor Caracalla declared that all free men in the Roman Empire were given full Roman citizenship and all free women were given the same rights as Roman women. This increased the tax revenues.
• Generation -- "three score and ten" (Ps. 90:10; Matt. 24:34 from 1948-2018) (70 years); forty years (Nu. 32:13; Matt. 24:34 from 31-70 AD); 100 years (Gen. 15:13-16; Acts 7:6); 30 years Gemini to Gemini (360° months/12 months per year = 30° years).
• Gemini -- "two witnesses" (Rev. 11:3). The right eye of Pollux and the left eye of Castor together give the proper perspective. Each witness is blind in one eye. "Son of my sorrow; son of my right hand."
• Graven images -- Both Jacob's blessing and Moses' blessing illustrate that animal and human forms were present on the banners of Israel. A Man on Reuben's banner. A Lion borne by Judah. The Bull of Joseph. The Eagle or Snake of Dan. Balaam also evidently had the Lion of Judah before his eyes. It was therefore the worship of these "likenesses" that was forbidden, not the "likeness" itself. In the temple of Solomon were cherubic images made of lion's and oxen's bodies with eagle's wings and human heads. Israel had been punished for desiring the golden calf to go before them, but Solomon was unblamed for forming the twelve oxen that upheld the molten sea (1 Ki. 7; 2 Chr. 3:16; 4:5).
• Gossip -- "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor" (Ex. 20:16). Even the truth can be gossip (Dan. 6:13) when revealing secrets to others who don't have a need to know about someone who isn't dangerous because he has repented (Ex. 23:1).  But warning others who have a need to know about a real danger is lawful when the sinner hasn't repented (1 Tim. 5:20). This isn't gossip. 
• Gold -- Pure Character Precious and Rare (Isaiah 13:12; Dan. 2:38); Immortality "I shall come forth as gold when tested" (Job 23:10; 1 Pet. 1:7); "The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of GOLD and silver" (Ps. 119:72) "It is difficult to distinguish true friendship from that which is counterfeit, unless something occur to try it as gold is tried in the fire." (Cicero Epist. fam. 9:15) Pliny the Elder mentioned that gold is the only metal not harmed by fire. "The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold; how are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter" (Lam. 4:2).
• God -- "God is love" (1 John 4:8). "He is the Rock! His work is perfect, For all his ways are just; A God of faithfulness without iniquity (injustice), Just and upright is He." (AMP) Depending on varying circumstances and variable people, He can be merciful (1 Chr. 16:34; 2 Chr. 30:9; Lam. 3:22); unmerciful (1 Sam. 6:19; 1 Sam. 15:2-3; Jer. 13:14; Heb. 12:29); spares the righteous (Ez. 18:9,19; 33:19); slays the righteous with the wicked (Ez. 21:3-4); grants our prayers (Luke 11:10; James 1:5); won't listen to our prayers (Isa. 1:15; Micah 3:4; James 4:3); cannot lie (1 Sam. 15:29; Heb. 6:18); sends forth lying spirits (1 Ki. 22:19-23); is good to all (Ps. 145:9); hated Esau (Mal. 1:2-3); laughs at sinner's overthrow (Pr. 1:26); has no pleasure in it (Ez. 18:32); fearful to fall into his hands (Heb. 10:31); not fearful (2 Sam. 24:14); His anger slow and brief (Ps. 30:5; 103:8-9); fierce and lasting (Nu. 25:4; 32:13; Ps. 85:5); peaceful (Rom. 15:33; 1 Cor. 14:33); warlike (Ex. 15:3; Isa. 51:15); hardens men's hearts (Josh. 11:20; Isa. 63:17; John 12:40; Rom. 9:18); they harden their own hearts (Pr. 28:14; Heb. 3:8); punishes men for their own deeds (Deut. 24:16; Ez. 18:4,20; Rom. 2:5-6); punishes for others' deeds (Ex. 20:5; Josh. 7:24-26; Ez. 18:2); a respecter of persons (Ps. 138:6; Gen. 4:4-5); not a respecter of persons (2 Chr. 19:7 Deut. 10:17; Acts 10:34; Rom. 2:11; Eph. 6:9; 1 Pet. 1:17); tempts men (Gen. 22:1; 2 Sam. 24:1; Matt. 6:13); does not tempt them (James 1:13); the author of evil (Isa. 14:7; Jer. 18:11; Lam. 3:38; Ez. 20:25; Am. 3:36); not the author of evil (Deut. 32:4; Ps. 5:4; Jer. 29:11; 1Cor. 14:33); He is visible since Abraham ate and drank and conversed with Him calling him the "Judge of the whole earth" (Gen. 18:1-25) and Jacob wrestled with Him saying "I have seen God Face to Face" (Gen. 32:24-30); Moses, Aaron, Nadab and Abihu saw Him (Ex. 24:9-11); Moses saw his back (Ex. 33:23) etcetera. This can only be accounted for by what Isaiah called "the Angel of God's presence" (Isa. 63:9) and observing that Stephen says the law was given by the disposition of angels, and that it was an Angel who spoke to Moses in Sinai saying "I am Jehovah thy God". This Person later was known as Yeshua the Messiah, who was the God of the Old Testament (Col. 1:16; John 5:37; Eph. 3:9; James 4:7; Heb. 13:8; 1Cor. 10; John 1; Mal. 3:1; Heb. 1). But referring to God the Father, "There shall no man see my face and live" (Ex. 33:20). He is called the invisible God (1 Tim. 1:17), "whom no man hath seen or can see" (1 Tim. 6:15-16) and John says, "No man hath seen God at any time" (John 1:18; 6:46).
• Gutium -- "In the very earliest times of which we have any record the northern portion of Assyria was comprehended under the vague title of GUTIUM, which stretched from the Euphrates on the west to the mountains of MEDIA on the east; but it was definitely marked off as Assyria after the rise of that monarchy in the sixteenth century B.C." (Encyc. Brit., article "Babylonia"). In other words, the "land of GUTA" would be, at the time of the exile of Israel an ancient name, which covered not only Assyria but also that portion of MEDIA where the bulk of the Israelite captives were settled. Second Kings 17:6 specifies Halah, and Habor by the river Gozan in MEDIA in 721 BC. In 539 BC the people of GUTA marched in the armies of Cyrus to conquer Babylon (Cyrus Cylinder). A cylinder covered with inscriptions of Cyrus tells us how"on the tenth day, Gobryas, General of the Guta and the army of Cyrus, came to Babylon, and took it." This kingdom of stone smote the golden head (Dan. 2; Jer. 50-51:27). The Battle of Carchemish in 608 BC (Jer. 46) and the subsequent fall of Nineveh allowed a window of escape for Israel through the Caucasus Mountains. One of the important passes in the Caucasus to this day bears the name "gates of Israel". "I will gather them out of Assyria" (Zech. 10:6-12). Two tribes of Joseph fled to Ar-Sareth (2 Esdras13:42-47) and settled on the Danube as GETAE. Herodotus also mentions a people "north of Thrace" "who dress in the MEDIAN fashion" and "claim to be colonists from MEDIA" (5:9). Dan likewise appears to have dropped off and become the ThyssaGETAE. The seven remaining tribes, the mass of Israel, called themselves the MassaGETAE and settled east of the Caspian as "Scythians" who "make no statues or altars" and "never use pigs for sacrifice and will not even breed them anywhere in the country" (Herod. 4:59, 64). But they are all adulterous (Her. 1:216; Jer. 9:2; Hos. 4:14). The Scythian nation is the youngest of nations with a thousand year history from 514 BC to 1514 BC (Her. 4:8). In Ezra 8:17 occurs a casual reference to Iddo the Chief, at the place "CASIPHIA". Ezra had to send to this man and to the Nethinims for the re-established service of the Temple. Iddo must therefore have been a chief of some portion of Israel, since from Israel alone could Nethinim be obtained. "CASIPHIA" is the word which we now write, "CASPIAN". It is a Chaldee word meaning "desirable" or "pleasant". Hence it appears that the "pleasant land" of Jer. 3:19 and Zech. 7:14 is not a mere vague term, but it really meant the CASPIAN region where Israel settled after escaping from MEDIA. This was the "land of Israel" in the days of Ezekiel. Israel now spoke an Aryan tongue, akin to Sanskrit (Isa. 28:11), and had acquired Aryan customs. Ezekiel visited his kinsmen in Scythia (Ez. 2:3). By calling themselves GUTA they "pollute ... my Holy name (IsraEL) no more" (Ez. 20:39). But Israel, in many passages in the Old Testament, are described as the "people called by my name". "El" is the name of God in Hebrew. "GUTH" is the name of God in Gothic. "An" is the name of God in Getic. "As" is the name of God in Norse. Israel, GOTHS, Angles. Asar are all national names which are merely translations of eachother. By treachery, Cyrus slew the queen's son (Spargapises) and 1/3 of the MassaGETAE army while feasting and drunk (Herodotus 1:212). "A grievous vision ... the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously ... Go up O Elam, besiege, O Media" (Isa. 21:2); "eating flesh and drinking wine; let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we shall die" (Isa. 22:13). But at the Battle of the Araxes in 529 BC Cyrus was slain by the MassaGETAE stone according to Herodotus 1:213. The silver breast and arms were defeated. "Israel was the battle-axe of the Lord. With them would he break in pieces many nations" (Jer. 51:20; 50:41-42). The favorite weapon of the MassaGETAE was "the battle-axe" (Herodotus 1:215). "Thou shalt beat in pieces many peoples" (Micah 4:13). "None can deliver" (Micah 5:8-10). Isaiah 44:28 calls Cyrus the "shepherd". In Jeremiah 50:44, it is the chosen "shepherd" who leads attackers against Babylon. But "Israel is the rod of His inheritance ... with thee will I break in pieces the shepherd and his flock" (Jer. 51:119,23). In the reign of Darius Hystaspes, between 520-510 BC, the MassaGETAE fled from this region east of the CASPIAN. As foretold in Zechariah 7:14, this pleasant land was left desolate because the bed of the CASPIAN sank and the course of the Oxus became diverted. The oasis was turned into a complete desert. Notice that Daniel prays for 1. Judah and Jerusalem; 2. Israel near by (the warriors at Babylon); 3. Israel that is far off (MassaGETAE by the Caspian); and 4. Israel "through all the countries" (the tribes of Joseph at "Ar-sareth" called GETAE and Danites called ThyssaGETAE). The MassaGETAE migrated under Tomyris from the CASPIAN to the western shores of the Black Sea, where they founded the city of Tomi according to Jordanis' Gothic History. Their intent was probably to join up with the GETAE. The prophecy said they would "wander from (Caspian) sea to (Black) sea, and from the north (of the Caucasus) even to the east (of Caspian), they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it" (Amos 8:12). They "shall be wanderers among the nations" (Hos. 9:16,17) and "they shall remember me in far countries" (Zech. 10:6-12). During their retreat, they laid the "pleasant land" desolate, destroying the watercourses, so as to make pursuit as difficult as possible. You "defiled my land and made mine heritage an abomination" (Jer. 2:7). The GETAE are described in Herodotus as escaped slaves of the MEDES and Persians (Herod. 4:118)(Israelite captives) and that is how Darius looked at them. The king of these "Scythians" had been told to yield to Darius. His reply was to offer a bird, a mouse, a frog, and a bundle of arrows. Gobryas correctly interpreted this message as "the Persians would have to fly like a bird, burrow like a mouse, swim like a frog, if they hoped to conquer the Scythians and escape their arrows" (Herod. 4:131). "They recognize no other god but their own" (Her. 4:94) and are "against foreign ways" (Her. 4:76). The army of the GETAE alone, at the time of Philip of Macedon, was 150,000 men. Fifty years after the death of Alexander, Strabo says, "Dromichaetes, who was king of the GETAE, took captive Lysimachus, the Greek successor of Alexander the Great who had come to wage war against him. He showed him the poverty and frugality of the GETAE, made a treaty of friendship with him, and allowed him to depart" (Strabo 7:3:9) but only after a heavy ranson had been paid for his release. The Scythians also defeated Zopyrion, one of the generals of Alexander the Great. We can consider this a blow by the kingdom of stone against the Greek belly and thighs of brass. Micah 2:12 describes Israel as a "multitude of men" and "a strong nation" (Micah 4:7) and "they shall increase" (Zech. 10:6-12). "Your brethren that hated you (Jews), that cast you (Israel) out for my name's sake, said, Let the Lord be glorified. But he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed" (Isa. 66:5). The Jews had said to Israel, "Get you far from the Lord: unto us is this land given in possession" (Ez. 11:15). Snorri Sturleson compiled the Odin traditions in the Edda of the thirteenth century. The date ascribed to Odin in Haydn's Dictionary of Dates is circa 100 BC. It is computed by reckoning up the geneologies of the ancient royal houses that claimed descent from Odin. Additional independent evidence is many tombstones in the Crimea of Israelites whose dates are reckoned "from the year of our captivity" (721 BC when Samaria fell). According to this reckoning, the latest date yet discovered is earlier than 100 BC. If the migration of the whole people under Odin took place about this date, there would, of course, be no more burials in the Crimea. The runic characters of the GETAE were merely, as Isaac Taylor proves, the letters of an archaic Greek alphabet, such as was in use in the Greek colonies on the Black Sea some centuries before the Christian era. According to the Edda, the Asar were Asia-men and came from "Turkland," which in the thirteenth century would be Asia Minor and the Caspian. The GOTHS were always proud of their connection with MEDIA; and their earliest traditions were of their Medum-heime, their home in MEDIA. Isaac Taylor identifies Asgard, whence Odin and the Asar came, with the Scythian Gerrhos and with the modern Kiev on the Dneiper. We can assume that the same people who, in 460 BC, in the days of Herodotus, occupied Gerrhos, marched in 100 BC from Asgard with Odin. Odin had only one eye and was an "idol shepherd" and wizard of the Jotun race (Jute or Jew) who deceived Israel about Mimr's head, the ashtree Yggdrasil, the dog Garm, the cow Audhumla and Odin's ancestor that was moulded into human shape out of salt and rimestones (Zech. 11:15-16). "Being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness" (Rom. 10:1-3). Odin never became king over them (Hos. 3:4). "Woe unto them, for they have fled from Me; destruction unto them, because they have transgressed against Me" (Hos. 7:10,13). Odin led the Asar to Scandinavia where colonies were planted and the country was settled as GUTALAND. Their language was an Aryan tongue akin to Sanskrit indicating their origin from MEDIA. The folklore was Aryan. The runes were a Greek alphabet; their chess was a PERSIAN game. The worship of the sun and the sacrifice of horses came from the MassaGETAE. The hero of the poem of Beowulf, the earliest Angle epic, was a man of the people called GEATAS; from which people King Alfred believed some of his nation derived their origin. The twelve Aesir of northern mythology were twelve GETIC Anses, or god-men, designed by Odin to meet the theological demands of his new subjects, and represent the twelve tribes of Israel. There were, however, only seven, and not twelve of the tribes actually serving under Odin. Saxons, Angles, Jotuns (Jutes or Jews), etc. Yes, in the land of the north Judah will join Israel (Jer. 3:18). Eventually the Angles formed themselves into the seven kingdoms of the Heptarchy -- each a separate tribe of Israel. The newcomers persisted in calling the ancient inhabitants "Welsh" (foreigners) who were exterminated except for the remote regions of Cornwall and Wales. "I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime" (2 Sam. 7:10). Jordanis says that Julius Caesar "who conquered all kingdoms," was unable to prevail against the Goths. In fact, Caesar was planning a great campaign against the GETAE when he was assassinated at Rome. At the Battle of Teutoberg Forest, Arminius defeated the Roman legions of Varus in the year 9 AD. Denmark was at that time called GOTLAND. In AD 69, the year of the revolt of the Jews against Rome, the GETAE attacked Moesia, the present Bulgaria. Their king at this period was the hero Decebalus whom Peter was thinking about when he told the "strangers" to "Fear God: honor the king". The same people whom the Romans called Dacians ("Ten" Tribes) were called GETAE by the Greeks. Duchesne, who collected the Norman chronicles in the seventeenth century, has no doubt whatever that the Normans were Dacians and consistently calls them by that name in his preface. Dudo, dean of St. Quentin's, who flourished in the tenth century, , and wrote the earliest history of the Normans, had also no doubt that ancestors of his people came from Scythia, beyond the Danube, and were Dacians. In 93 AD, Josephus wrote, "There are only two tribes subject to the Romans in Europe and Asia, the remainder are beyond Euphrates to this day, an immense multitude and not to be numbered". Paul also knew that the descendants of Abraham and Sarah were as the stars of the sky and the sand of the sea-shore in multitude (Heb. 11:8-12). Early in the fourth century, when Constantine was establishing "Christianity" as the official religion, the GOTHIC bishop Ulfila was translating the Scriptures into GOTHIC. The GOTHS, however, adopted the Arian form of Christianity and refused to submit to the Roman Church. Del Mar quotes "Pyteas of Marseilles as finding in the 4th century B.C., the GUTONES or GOTHS established along the shores of the Baltic for a distance of 6,000 stadia" (750 miles), or from about the Neva River to the Rhine River. They expelled the Lombards from the Swedish GOTHLAND and followed up these successes by attacking from their bases on the Holstein Peninsula the German Suevi (Swabians) and driving them and the Lombards across the Elbe. Joseph would "push the peoples" with his horns (Deut. 33:17). The VisiGOTHS defeated the Romans at the Battle of Hadrianople in 378 AD -- "the most destructive defeat since Cannae" when the Emperor Valens lost two-thirds of his army and himself was burnt to death. Alaric the VisiGOTH portrayed himself as an instrument in the hands of God (battle-axe -- Her. 1:215; Jer. 51:20; 50:41-42) and finally entered Rome. A mutiny of GOTHIC troops under Odovacar in 476 AD deposed the last emperor Augustulus, and ended the Roman Empire in the West. Then the Greek emperor offered Italy to the barbarians provided Theodoric could expel Odovacar's Heruli. The OstroGOTHS crossed the Julian Alps and emerged into Italy, defeating Odovacar on the Isonzo and Adige. By 493 AD, Theodoric was master of the Italian peninsula. (Isa. 27:6-11). The kingdom of stone smote the iron legs multiple times and gave it a death blow. "After two days will he revive us; in the third day he will raise us up" (Hos. 6:2). That is 1000 + 1000 + 520 = 2520 years since "One day is with the Lord as a thousand years" (2 Pet. 3:8). Then after this "seven times" punishment (Lev. 26: 721 BC + 2520 years = 1800 AD) "far into the ends of the earth" (Isa. 26:15), "the land of the north" (Jer. 16:14) "a great nation" (Gen. 12:2; 18:17; Isa. 41:9-12) and "multitude of nations" (Gen. 35:11; 48:19) would appear with Abraham's birthright to be heir of the world (Rom. 4:13-14) and chief of the nations (Deut. 29; Isa. 49:18-26; Amos 6:1), breaking in pieces many nations (Deut. 33:17; Jer. 51:19-20; Isa. 49:18-27; Mic. 4:7-13; 5:5-8), pushing peoples with horns to the ends of the earth (Deut. 33:17; Zech. 10:7-9). No weapon formed against them would prosper. They would be unconquerable (Isa. 54:17; Jer. 30:10; Matt. 21:44) and possess the gates of their enemies (Jer. 22:17) and ride upon the high places of the earth (Deut. 32:13). Israel would possess Palestine -- the land from the Nile to the Euphrates (Gen. 15:18;13:14-17). The British Empire, the United States, and NW Europe fulfill these prophecies today.



• Harlot -- Apostate Church/religion (Isaiah 1:21-27, Jeremiah 3:1-3; 6-9)
• Holy -- Set APART or SEPARATED from everything else to do a specific job. "Be ye holy (SEPARATE), for I am holy (SEPARATE)" (Lev. 19; 1 Pet. 1:16). For instance, "SEPARATE from sinners" (Heb 7:26). Saint, sanctify and sanctification mean separated, separate and separation.
• Heads -- Major powers/rulers/governments (Isa. 7:8-9); ancient and honorable rulers (Isa. 9:14-15); mountains (Revelation 17:3, 9-10)
• Hell -- The word “hell” is found 54 times in the King James Bible. It is translated from four different words. In the Old Testament, 31 times from the Hebrew “Sheol,” which means “the grave”. In the New Testament, 10 times from the Greek “Hades” which means “the grave” (Acts 2:31; 1 Corinthians 15:55; Revelation 20:14). The body of Jesus rested there and His saints are resting there now awaiting the resurrection. Plus 12 times from the Greek “Gehenna” which means a place of fire, brimstone, and punishment (see Matthew 5:29-30, described in Matthew 13:40-42 and 2 Peter 3:7.) Note these flames are still in the future at the end of the world. Lastly, one time from the Greek “Tartarus” in 2 Peter 2:4, and means “a place of darkness or restraint.” “Tartarus” is where Satan and his demons reside now. It isn’t a place of punishment or flames. (see Hesiod Theogony verses 725-745).
• Hair -- Subjection (1 Cor. 11:10)
• Hill -- Small nation (Micah 4:1-3; Isa. 2:1-3)
• Hurrah -- The word "shout" in the KJV is from the Hebrew "Haru" which has become the English Hurrah
• Horse -- Strength & Power in Battle (Job 39:19, Ps 147:10, Pr 21:31); White --False Prophet; Black -- death; Red -- War; Pale (Green) -- Sickness (Matt.24; Rev.6)
• Horn -- King or kingdom (Daniel 7:24; 8:5, 21-22, Zechariah 1:18-19, Revelation 17:12). First Samuel 2:10 says,"The Lord shall ...give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed."
• Horn (Little) -- Papacy or Islam (Dan. 7)
• Honey -- happy life (Ezekiel 20:6, Deuteronomy 8:8-9)
• Hand -- Deeds / Works / Actions (Ecclesiastes 9:10, Isaiah 59:6)
• Healing -- Salvation (Luke 5:23-24)  
• Harvest -- End of World (Matthew 13:39)
• Horus -- Porphyry derives the name Horus from the division of time -- Hour.
• Hamas -- What justifies butchering innocent Jewish civilians including children, burning Jews alive, beheading Jewish babies, and taking Jewish women and girls captive to rape them? "The Day of Judgment will not come until Muslims fight the Jews, when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say, 'O Muslim, O servant of God, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.' (Sahih al-Bukhari 2925). Also "slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive" (sura 9:5). And "fight against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and be harsh" (9:73). A Medinan verse says, "strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and be harsh" (66:9). The genocidal Koran is HAMAS's Constitution. HAMAS even uses Palestinians as human shields (in hospitals & apartments) and blocks escape routes for Palestinian evacuees attempting to leave Gaza. Many Palestinians hate HAMAS. "Egypt will become a desolation and Edom a desert wasteland, because of the violence (Heb. HAMAS) against the children of Judah, because they shed innocent blood in their land" (Joel 4:19; TLV). Psalm 140:1 says "preserve me from the violent (Heb. "HAMAS") man." The Islamic terrorist organization today in Israel is called "HAMAS." Hamas is an acronym of the Arabic phrase "Harakah al-Muqawamah al-Islamiya", meaning "Islamic Resistance Movement". This acronym, HMS, was later glossed in the Hamas Covenant by the Arabic word "hamas" which itself means "zeal", "strength", or "bravery". Isaiah 60:18 says, "Violence (Heb. HAMAS) shall no more be heard in thy land".
• Hermes Trismegistus -- El Macinus, Abulfaragius, and other Arabic writers call Enoch Edris, or the glorious, saying he was skilled in astronomy and other sciences, and that he was Hermes Trismegistus. The Jews (as in the Targum of Jonathan) call him the great scribe, and say that he was the first who composed books of astronomy. So Eupolemus, who says he was the first inventor of astrology, and not the Egyptians. However some ancient writers think Seth was Hermes Trismegistus and the inventor of astronomy. Adam, Seth and Enoch seem to be the three great ones who originated astronomy.
• Homer -- (900 BC -- "no more than 400 years" before me -- Herodotus 2:54) Pope, his translator, says "Though he has some very low thoughts (the gods with base, human impure passions), yet he has more noble and excellent ones than any other writer: his style bears a greater resemblance to the sacred writers than any others, and his writings a remarkable parity with Scripture." A general spirit of piety pervades his works; we find in them much of divine truth, though perverted. There is a constant acknowledgement of the gods; and man's dependence upon them is shown by the continued offering of prayers and sacrifices; particularly before engaging in battle, or entering on any great enterprise. The principle which pervades the poem is, "Those who revere the gods, the gods will bless." Diodorus, accuses Homer of pilfering the sybil Daphne's poems.
• Herodotus -- He wrote his history when forty years old (Pliny 12:4) in the first year of the 84th Olympiad, 310 years after the foundation of Rome and 444 before Christ. Herodotus was told by the Egyptian priests, that after 3000 years the dead would rise again.
• Hesiod -- (900 BC -- "no more than 400 years" before me -- Herodotus 2:54) Hesiod professed to write under the inspiration of the Muses. His accounts of creation and of the early facts in the world's history are evidently founded on the Mosaic history. Passing by, and leaving out, God the Creator, Hesiod makes Chaos first ("without form and void"); and next the earth; and then by means of Love, Erebus (probably from Heb. erev -- evening) and Night appear; and day or light from darkness; then the heavenly bodies are born from the earth; and last of all, from Coelus and Terra, the heaven and the earth, Saturn, the first of the gods is born. Many facts in the early history of mankind are also plainly referred to by him. In his description of the different ages he speaks of man's first estate of purity and happiness (Eden); then of a degenerate race "by angry Jove engulfed;" (Flood) and then of a third, a race of "many-languaged men" (Tower of Babel). Hesiod speaks of the share woman had in bringing evils on the human race, thus: at the instigation of Jupiter, Vulcan "Moulded from the yielding clay A bashful virgin's image ... a pernicious kind; A bane to men; ill helpmates of intolerable toils". This Pandora (Eve) opens a casket to release all the evils upon the human race. Yet hope remains within -- the promised seed of the woman -- the Messiah, Hope of the world.

• Heroes -- Greek word HEROES derived from EROS (sexual love) according to Plato. The angels who SINNED (Job 4:18; 15:15) and had sex with the daughters of men, producing these HEROES, did not "preserve their dignity and having left their own habitation" will be "bound with eternal chains and reserved for the judgment of the great day" (Jude 6). Hebrew "Gibborim": Genesis 6:4 "mighty men" and "men of renown" and Genesis 10:9 "mighty hunter". Plato said the HEROES are demigods, for they are all born of the (sexual) LOVE of a god (angel) for a mortal woman, or (sexual) LOVE of a goddess (angel) for a mortal man (Plato's Cratylus 399). Herodotus remarked that the Egyptians were the only people among whom this belief did not exist (2:50). This corruption resulted in the Flood (6:5-7). "Why dost thou boast thyself of thy wickedness, powerful (gibbor) man?" (Ps. 52:3). The German "Herr" (high, dignified) may be a cognate. Also Aryan (Lord, noble).
• Hour -- The 1/24th part of a day, and since a day is a 360-day year prophetically, that would be fifteen days. But actually fifteen or thirty days (Rev. 9:15; 18:10,17,19) since there are "twelve hours in a day" (John 11:9). Called "hour" because 15° of a 360° zodiac day is 1/24th of the time (15 x 24 = 360) and 30° is 1/12th of the time (John 11:9). If one day is a year of 360 days (Num. 14:34; Ez. 4:6), and if there are "twelve hours in a day" (John 11:9), then 360 divided by 24 also gives a "half hour" (Rev. 8:1) as fifteen days which is fifteen years.
• Hour of Temptation -- Seven years (flag at half-mast -- Rev. 18). Called "hour" (Rev. 3:10) because 15° of a 360° zodiac day is 1/24 of the time (15 x 24 = 360). Seven years from 21 Jan 2017 till 4 Jan 2024 during which the United States (Virgo -- Virginia) in particular will drink from a venom-poisoned cup (COVUS [cobra venom] from seven-headed hydra snake) and have liberties taken away (purple-cord bound [quarantine & isolation] and gagged [masked]) and be jailed (Corvus is a jail bird behind red radius bars for disobeying mandates) and suffer death (vaccine side effects -- flag at half mast). Kosher slaughter of Americans because inspected by a Rabbi. About 600 million humans injured or killed by Covid vaccines so far globally as of May, 2023 since it comes "upon all the world, to try them" (Rev. 3:10).
• Hyksos -- Hyc in Hebrew means king. Sos means shepherd in Hebrew. But Josephus adds that Hic or Hac, in Egyptian, means a captive. Manetho explains "Hyksos" as "Prince of the Shepherds." His authorities evidently called the invader Shiku-Shasu -- "Princes of the Beduin." (Ancient History of the Nearer East by Hall). That sounds alot like "FIRST of the NATIONS." “Amalek the FIRST of the NATIONS; but his latter end shall be that he perish forever.” (Numbers 24:20). “FIRST of the NATIONS” (Hyksos) refers to their position and ranking at that time, since they were not great in earlier times (their forbearer was Esau) like the Babylonians, Assyrians, and Egyptians. They were Arabians (Against Apion 1:52). Specifically Amalekites (pp. 64-65, Ages in Chaos). Their king Agag (Nu. 24:7) was known as Apop (Manetho). This is because the early Hebrew letters g (gimel) and p (pei) show a striking resemblance, both looking like the number 7 (Ages in Chaos, p.72).
• Hebrew -- One who CROSSES over: "Abraham the Hebrew" (Gen. 14:13) (into the Promised Land). It is due to the CROSS of Christ that we pass from worldly and unconverted to Bible-followers.
• Hibernia -- The first inhabitants of Ireland were Iberians (Hebrews -- Gen. 10:21) that came from Tartessus in Spain (Iberia) according to the "Leabhar Gadhala" or book of conquests an ancient Irish document. Therefore, they called Ireland Hibernia or Ibernia. "Mr. Lhuyd, the learned Welsh antiquary, deduced the origin of the Irish nation from the banks of the Caspian, because of the remarkable similarity which exists between Irish round towers and the Pillar temples of Mazanderin, and he says, that there came a Spanish colony into Ireland is very manifest."
• Hatred -- It is wrong to hate a brother (Lev. 19:17; 1 John 2:9)  "without a cause" (Matt. 5:22).  It is murder (1 John 3:15).  However, it is right to "hate evil" (Pr. 8:13) people.  "I hate them with perfect hatred" (Ps. 139:22).  Anybody who hinders righteousness including "father, mother, wife, children, brothers, sisters" and even your "own life" (Luke 14:26) should be "hated" in some sense.
• High Places of the Earth --  Isaiah 58:13-14 says, "If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure ("desire" or will -- #2656 of Strong's) on my holy day, and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Eternal, honorable, and shalt honor him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure (will), nor speaking thine own words (cp.Isa.55:8-9); Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Eternal; and I will cause thee to RIDE UPON THE HIGH PLACES OF THE EARTH (high places "in PRAISE, and in NAME, and in HONOR" -- Deut.26:19. Also, the high places OF DIVINE WORSHIP -- 1 Ki.3:2; and DEFENSE -- Isa.2:15; and GOVERNMENT -- Jer.51:24-25)
• Heritage of Jacob -- To "feed thee with the HERITAGE OF JACOB thy father" (Isa. 58:14) means the "LAND" -- Ex.6:8; ETERNAL LIFE -- Ps.61:4-8; God's "TESTIMONIES" -- Ps.119:111 and VICTORY -- Isa.54:17. "If you be Christ's (a Christian), then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise" (Gal. 3:29). "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the EARTH" (Matt. 5:5). "The promise to Abraham or to his descendants" was "that he would be heir of the WORLD" (Rom. 4:13).The WORLD itself was the "HERITAGE OF JACOB," since in him and his seed "all the families of the EARTH were to be blessed" (Gen 28:14). To own the EARTH "forever" (Gen. 13:15) implies eternal life (Ps. 61:4-8) by obeying his testimonies (Ps. 119:111). “If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments” (Matt. 19:17). "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven" (Matt. 7:21).
• Heaven -- Government (Rev. 10:1) The SUN, MOON and STARS are political leaders. "His THRONE shall endure as the SUN before me, it shall be established ... as the MOON" (Ps. 89:36-37). The "Lord shall punish ... the HIGH ONES ...the KINGS ... Then the MOON shall be confounded, and the SUN ashamed" (Isa. 24:21-23). 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). Eusebius describes the ruling Roman GOVERNMENT as "celestial powers, the SUN, the MOON and the STARS" (Eccl. Hist. 10:4). The father is SUN or chief ruler, mother is the MOON and children are STARS or subordinate (Gen. 37:9-10). EARTH is "all flesh" (Gen. 6:11-12). KING, QUEEN and NOBLES. Therefore, the blackening of the SUN, the MOON turning to blood and the falling of STARS and the HEAVEN departing like a scroll means the destruction of a GOVERNMENT. A shooting STAR is a downfall of a sovereign prince. We look for a new HEAVEN (government).



• Incense -- prayers of saints (Rev. 5:8; Ps. 141:2); red radius stick of incense with lunar white smoke or solar brass holder. Perfume incense was offered on golden altar twice a day (Ex. 30:34-38; 25:6; 37:29)
• Ignorance of the law -- is an excuse since "to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin" (James 4:17) and "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, 'We see.' Therefore your sin remains." (John 9:41) "And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more" (Luke 12:47-48). "If I had not come, and spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin" (John 15:22).
• Inverse Square Law -- Intensity of SOUND is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source of sound to listener. Intensity of LIGHT is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from observer to source of light. GRAVITATIONAL force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the center of the planet to the center of the sun. MAGNETIC force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two magnetic poles.
• Instruments (wicked men are) -- For thousands of years the seed of the serpent, though under a curse, built the great cities, furnished the kings of the earth, and had the power of the world; while the seed who was blessed, had to live by faith -- as heirs of an inheritance not yet received. Cain built a city and became its mayor. Nimrod built and ruled Babylon. Esau's descendants were dukes ruling cities, while Jacob's descendants were slaves in Egypt. God permitted the selling of Joseph into slavery by his brethren. Pharaoh is told by the Lord, "Even for this purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee" (Ex. 9:16). God sent "the rod of his anger" "against an hypocritical nation, to take the spoil and to tread them down like the mire of the streets" (Isa. 10:6). The Assyrian king was used to chastise the Jews (Isa. 10:7). The Devil claimed that "All the power of the kingdoms of the world is delivered unto me and to whomsoever I will I give it" (Luke 4:6). The deceitful Tiberius, with absolute power, was bringing the world into slavery, when our Lord said, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's" (Mark 12:17). The detestable, bloodthirsty Nero was emperor when Peter wrote, "Honor the king" and "Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake; whether it be to the king as supreme" (1 Pet. 2:13,17), etcetera. Pilate boasted to our Lord, "Knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee?" (John 19:10). Our Lord responded, "Thou couldest have no power against me, except it were given thee from above" (John 19:11). Jesus also "being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain" (Acts 2:23). God says, "I have created the waster to destroy" (Isa. 54:16). Scripture says, "The powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever, therefore, resisteth the power resisteth the ordinance of God" (Rom. 13:1). To carry out his designs, God sometimes raises up and gives power, for a season, to wicked men; even to usurpers, wading through blood to a throne. In consequence of Solomon's idolatry, God sent a message to Jeroboam, which made him king od the ten tribes after their revolt (1 Ki. 11:9,31). He sent Elijah to "anoint Hazael to be king over Syria: and Jehu to be king over Israel" (1 Ki. 19:15) though they would obtain those kingdoms by killing the sovereigns then reigning over them.
• Isaac's sons -- SAXONS by race (Gen 21:12; Am.7:16) or by grace (Gal. 3:29; Eph. 2:12-13). Since the Hebrew alphabet was originally written without vowel points, there was no "I" in ISAAC. "If ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed" (Gal. 3:29) -- SAXONS by grace. Sharon Turner declared that the birthplace of the SAXON tribes is located in the very neighborhood where the Israelites were taken captive. He says, "They were a German or Teutonic, or Gothic race. Of the various (so-called Scythic) nations which have been recorded, the Sakai or Sacae are the people from whom the descent of the Saxons may be inferred, with the least violation of probability. They seized Bactriana, and the most fertile part of Armenia, which, from them, derived the name Sakasina. That some of the divisions of this people were really called Sakasuna is obvious from Pliny; for he says that the Sakai who settled in Armenia were named Sacassani, which is but Sacasuna; and the name which they gave to that of Armenia which they occupied is nearly the same sound as Saxonia. It is also important to remark, that Ptolemy mentions a Scythian people, sprung from the Sakai, by the name of Saxons." (KS = X; Amos 7:16) Where did the Anglo-Saxons come from, according to their own national traditions? "A careful perusal of the Eddas and Sagas will enable us, with the help of the ancient Greek and Latin writers, and without any serious break in the chain of events, to make out a fairly continuous history which throws considerable light on the progenitos of the English-speaking people, their migration northwards from their old homeon the shores of the Black Sea, their religion, and the settlement of Scandinavia, and other countries." (1:6). "The mythological literature of the north bears evidence of the belief prevalent among the people, that their ancestors migrated at a remote period from the shores of the Black Sea, through south-western Russia, to the shores of the Baltic." (1:25 Du Chaillu, The Viking Age).
• Idolatry -- Obedience is worship (Deut. 8:11). Whoever you obey is your god (Matt. 4:10). Therefore obedience to evil men is idolatry. Even if the order itself is harmless, the act of obeying the order establishes a precedent. What would normally be right to do becomes wrong since it is perceived as submission to evil men. DISOBEY because "Like a polluted fountain is a righteous man who GIVES WAY before the wicked" (Pr. 25:26). "For YOU TOLERATE IT, if a man orders you around, takes what is yours, puts on airs of superiority or slaps you on the face" (2 Cor. 11:20). Obedience to evil men is idol worship. DO NOT CONFORM even if the command is not in itself wrong. Perception is everything (Deut. 9:28; 1 Ki. 20:28: Pr. 26:5). Submission lends legitimacy to the arrogant and presumptuous tyrant. Don't buy the toy for your spoiled brat. Let him cry and pout instead. Buying a toy is not normally wrong, but God "opposes the proud" (James 4:6) and so should we. The presumptuous and arrogant demeanor of the one giving the command is itself enough cause to DISOBEY even an otherwise innocent command. DISOBEY self-appointed tyrants lest your obedience be misunderstood as GROVELLING SUBMISSION and therefore idol worship. Don't encourage and strengthen the hands of evildoers (Jer. 23:14).

• Jordan -- death (Romans 6:4, Deuteronomy 4:22)
• Jerusalem (above) -- mother of us all (Gal. 4:26)
• Jar-Vessel -- Person (Jer. 18:1-4, 2 Cor. 4:7); human body a house of clay (Job 4:19).
• Jericho -- Not only the corrupt Canaanite city that fell (Josh. 6), but the fall of the Roman Empire (Rev. 17) and the fall of the United States (Rev. 18) also
• Jacob's Trouble -- Jacob's Trouble (Jer. 30:7) will be a "week" of "seven years" (Gen. 29:27) for Israelites before the marriage to Christ.
• Jew -- "He is a Jew who is one inwardly and circumcision of the heart" (Rom. 2:29); "salvation is of the Jews" (John 4:22). Paul called himself a Jew (Acts 21:39; 22:3) after he accepted Christ as his Lord and Saviour and after he received the Holy Spirit.
• Judge -- David called human judges Elohim (gods)(Ps. 82) and our Lord confirmed this (John 10:30,34). Moses is also called an Elohim (Ex. 7:1).
• Judging -- Judging is commanded: "Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?" (1 Cor. 6:3)  and "he that is spiritual judgeth all things" (1 Cor. 2:15) and "judge righteous judgment" (John 7:24) versus judging is condemned: "Judge not, that ye be not judged" (Matt. 7:1).  What is the synthesis?  We are not able to read another person's mind or determine their intent.  We can't judge thoughts.    But we can judge a tree by its fruit (Luke 6:43-45) -- words and actions. But the judge had better be righteous since "why beholdest thou the splinter that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the log that is in thine own eye?" (Matt. 7:3). The same criteria you use against others will be used against you.     

• Know -- Have regard and love for. "The Lord KNOWS the way of the righteous" (Ps. 1:6) but "there arose up a new king over Egypt who KNEW NOT Joseph" (Ex. 1:1).
• Koran -- If the Koran is true, the Bible is true. And because the Bible is true, the Koran is false. It teaches that the gospels are not corrupt and thereby sets a seal of approval on the New Testament text: "we sent ... Jesus ... confirming that which came before him in the Torah; and we gave him the Gospel, in which was guidance and light and confirming that which preceded it of the Torah as guidance and instruction for the righteous" (5:46-47; also 5:68 & 3:3). "O ye people of the Book! (Jews and Christians) You have nothing to stand on unless you observe the Torah, the Gospel, and what has been revealed to you from the Lord" (Sura 5:68). "We believe in what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to you. Our God and your God are one. And to him we submit" (29:46). "So if you are in doubt (O Muhammed), about that which we have revealed to you, then ask those who have been reading the Scriptures before you (Jews and Christians). The truth has certainly come to you from your Lord, so never be among the doubters" (10:94). But Mohammed in other places says that Jesus was not crucified, which contradicts the Gospels. Either way, there is a major contradiction. They said in boast 'We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary. But they killed him not, nor crucified him." (The Koran denies the crucifixion.) How do you know the Koran is not the Word of God? The Koran says the Bible is a previous revelation of God and the Koran says it is true and to believe it (Surah 3:3-4). Why don't Muslims believe the Bible then? Muslims will say, "Because its been corrupted." But what does your Koran say about whether the words of Allah can be corrupted? They'll say that the words of Allah cannot be corrupted (Koran 15:9: "The revealed messages will be preserved" -- Torah & Gospel). "There is no changer of his words" (Surah 18:27). "None can alter his words" (6:115). See, that's the problem. If the Koran is true, the Bible is true. And because the Bible is true, the Koran is false. The Koran is telling Jews and Christians they ought to obey the Old and New Testament. But these Scriptures contradict the Koran. Furthermore, Surah Al Maidah 5 says the prophet put the Torah on a cushion and said, "I believe in you and the one who revealed you". What Torah was that? The Old Testament. We have the Dead Sea Scrolls discovered in 1947 and written about 100 to 200 years before Jesus identical to what we read today. Where is the proof they were corrupted? V4:60 God revealed Quran and what was before it. V 5:59 revealed by God was the Quran and what was revealed before it. V5:68 Uphold what was revealed in gospel and Torah.(This is a message delivered by Muhammad, you can't say it is corrupted) V 6:91 God confirmed revelation of Torah to people of Muhammad's time. V 6:92 Quran just a confirmation of what preceeded it. V 4:136 God confirmed the authenticity of all the scriptures he sent. V 6:155,156 Quran was an addition to what was revealed before it, not to say no book for followers of Muhammad. V 12:2 Quran was revealed for your Arabic understanding, not to cancel previous scripture. V 16:44 Quran is a reminder. Where do the scholars get the idea that the preservation was only for the Quran an not for the revelations before the Quran? Their own imaginations. Nothing in the Quran to support such insinuation. There is no doubt Allah gave different laws and methods,v 5:48 but none cancel the other v 39:46. "Surah 41:9-12 say that the creation took eight days rather than six. Surah 7:136 and 7:59 say Noah's flood took place in Moses' day rather than a thousand years before Moses. Surah 96:1 says man was created out of a clot of congealed blood but Genesis 2 says Adam was formed from the dust of the earth. Surah 2:1-7 says Abraham and Ishmael raised the foundations of the Kaaba in Mecca. The Bible mentions no such incident. Surah 28:48 says Haman was Pharaoh's prime minister (c. 1450 B.C.) but Esther mentions that Haman was an official in the Persian court (400 B.C.). Surah 19:23 mentions that Mary gave birth to Jesus under a palm tree alone. The Bible says no such thing. In Surah 19:27 Mary is called the "sister of Aaron" which is confusing her with Miriam 1450 years earlier. Quran 4:157-158 says Jesus wasn't killed or crucified but Judas was crucified instead. Also that he wasn't the Son of God (Sura Al Maeda 75). The Gospels vehemently disagree. Islam teaches that Ishmael was the chosen son and the son that Abraham offered to God as sacrifice (Quran 37:99-113). The Bible says it was Isaac. Islam teaches that "all poets (are) inspired of Satan" (Surah 26:221-227). Yet there is poetry in the Bible and in all uplifting music. Sura 61:6 says Mohammed was the Comforter. Jesus disagreed, saying it was the Holy Spirit. Sura 29:47 says, "Our God and your God are one" which contradicts Sura 9:29 that says, "they don't believe in Allah." The Quran 18:9 makes into real history the second century myth of seven Christian youths who were persecuted for their faith and went to sleep in a cave for 300 years and then woke up with no ill effects. In the original myth the hero is a Christian, but in the Koran the hero is a Muslim..
• 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)
• Kindness Toward Evil -- God "makes his sun to rise on EVIL and good and sends rain on just and UNJUST" (Matt. 5:45). Jesus washed the feet of the twelve and JUDAS was one of them. Our own parents were kind and generous to us as children. Did we do anything to deserve their kindness? "Do not say, 'I will repay evil'; Wait for the Lord, and He will save you" (Prov. 20:22). "Don't mistreat foreigners. You were foreigners in Egypt, and you know what it is like" (Ex. 23:9). We should love our neighbor as ourselves (Matt. 19:19) and who is our neighbor? Luke 10:37 defines a "NEIGHBOR" as "He that showed mercy" (or "kindness" -- RSV) toward you. Yet on the other side of the issue, we read such warnings as not to "strengthen the hands of EVILDOERS" (Jer. 23:14) and "ShouIdest thou HELP the UNGODLY, and LOVE them who HATE THE ETERNAL? Therefore, there is WRATH UPON THEE from before the Eternal" (2 Chr.19:2). "If a man comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into the house, neither bid him Godspeed; For he that biddeth him Godspeed is partaker of his evil deeds" or as another translation has it, you shall not say to him, “You are welcome.” "Whoever welcomes such a person SHARES in his EVIL deeds" (2 John 1:10-11). Only those who keep the commandments abide in his love (John 15:10; 14:21-23). God "HATEST all workers of iniquity" (Ps. 5:5). As Tobit said, "Scatter your bread on the graves of the UPRIGHT, but do not give to SINNERS" (4:17). Or as Jeshua said, "Give to the GODLY man, and do not help the SINNER; Do kindness to the HUMBLE-MINDED, and do not give to the UNGODLY ... so that he may not come to control you with it" (Ecclesiasticus 12:5). "It is not meet (right) to take the CHILDREN'S bread, and to cast it to the DOGS" (Matt. 15:26).  Where you draw the line with others is where it will be drawn for you (Matt. 7:1-2).
• Kingdom of God -- The Gospels teach TWO KINGDOMS of God. First notice the human, PHYSICAL Kingdom of ISRAEL: The human kingdom of Israel from Moses through Solomon till captivity foreshadowed the Kingdom of God (1 Sam. 12:12; 1 Chr. 28:5). The BRITISH EMPIRE later foreshadowed the Kingdom of God (Hosea 12:10). The "kingdom (physical) shall be taken from you, and given to a (physical) nation bringing forth the fruit thereof" (Matt.21:43). "Whosoever shall fall upon this (physical) stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to (physical) powder" (Matt. 21:44). This is the Israelite "stone cut out without hands" (Dan. 2:45). As truly as the four kingdoms (Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome) were material, human kingdoms, so surely is the FIFTH STONE Kingdom a real material kingdom ruled over by kings, and made up of men. Now notice the references to the SPIRITUAL Kingdom of HEAVEN: "But "my kingdom is not of this world (spiritual)" (John 18:36). "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God (spiritual)" (John 3:3). "The kingdom of heaven (spiritual) is at hand" (Matt. 3:2)."Like a grain of mustard seed (spiritual)" (Matt. 13:31). "And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the (spiritual) kingdom of heaven. But the children of the kingdom (physical) shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth" (Matt. 8:11-12). "Flesh and blood cannot inherit the (spiritual) kingdom of God, nor can corruption inherit incorruption" (1 Cor. 15:50). "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators (date rape), nor idolaters (x-mass tree), nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves (non-tithers), nor covetous (pornography), nor drunkards (pot smokers also), nor revilers (preachers who ignore one side of an argument), nor extortioners ("trick or treat") will inherit the kingdom of God" (1 Cor. 6:9-10). A literal kingdom with Jerusalem as its capitol (Jer. 3:17) and Christ as its King (Luke 1:32-33) ruling the entire earth (Rev. 5:10) for a thousand years (Rev. 20:4), speaking one pure language (Zeph. 3:9) using Biblical laws to govern (Matt. 5:19-20). Not of this world now (John 18:36).  Only those saints who OBEY the Bible NOW will qualify to rule with Christ our Lord in the future (Dan. 7:18).



• Lamb -- Jesus / sacrifice (John 1:29, 36; 1 Corinthians 5:7)
• Lion -- Babylon (Jeremiah 50:43-44, Daniel 7:4,17,23)
• Lascivious -- licentious (Jude 4); sensually unbridled; libertine; lewd; lawless; immoral. For example, visiting temple prostitutes and having drunken orgies.
• Let -- Restraint (2 Th. 2:6); 476 AD when Roman Emperor Romulus Augustulus was "taken out of way" (to Constantinople) to make room for "Man of Sin" (Pope). Isaiah 43:13 "who shall let (hinder) it?"
• Leopard -- Greece (Daniel 7:6)
• Leprosy / Sickness -- Sin (Luke 5:23-24)
• Locusts -- kings and captains of armies (Nahum 3:15-17)
• Law of Moses -- First five books of the Bible (Luke 24:44; Acts 28:23)
• Love -- keep his commandments (1 John 5:3); walk after his commandments (2 John 6)
• Last Days (Latter Days or Times) -- The period from Christ's first coming till the end of the Millenium. The 3000 years (or three days or times) from 26 AD till 3026 AD (1 Tim. 4:1; 2 Tim. 3:1; 2 Pet. 3:3; Jude 4-19).
• Lust -- There is nothing wrong with lusting after delicious food (Deut. 14:26) or a beautiful virgin if you both are unmarried.  "Whosoever looketh upon a wife (not woman. Greek word gune can be translated woman or wife) to lust after her hath already committed adultery (not fornication. You can't commit adultery with an unmarried woman) with her in his heart" (Matt. 5:28). "Sex appeal" was created by God.  But don't lust after another man's wife (Matt. 5:28; Job 31:1). Such coveting is idolatry (Eph. 5:5; Col. 3:5), so pornography is idolatry if the woman in the picture is married.
• Leaven -- Sugar (sweet, unleavened) turned to CO2 & alcohol (sour, puffed up) by fermentation (corruption). Doctrine of Pharisees & Sadducees (Matt. 16:12); hypocrisy (Luke 12:1); malice & wickedness (1 Cor. 5:8). A substance that causes dough to rise is leaven. For instance, sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) when heated by baking, decomposes to produce gas (CO2) which forms bubbles in the batter making it rise. Water (H2O) is another byproduct.
• Lying -- Abraham lied about Sarah (Gen. 20:2)(good), jewish midwives lied (1 Cor. 10:11) (good), Rahab lied about spies (Josh. 2:1-16) (good), David deceived Ahimelech (1 Sam. 21:2) (good), etc. and these were "examples unto us" (1 Cor. 10:11) of protecting the innocent.  But those who lie to defraud (Col. 3:9; Rev. 22:15) (bad) will not inherit the kingdom.
• Lamp -- Word of God (Psalms 119:105). To "remove thy lampstand" (Rev. 2:5) or to have one's "lamp put out" (Job 18:6; 21:17; Pr. 24:20) or "walk in darkness" (Isa. 59:9) refers to Scripture being taken away so a person is unable to follow Jesus (John 8:12) while to "light my lamp" (Ps. 18:28) is to give Scripture to a person.
• Levites -- The whole number of Levites amounted to 22,300 (Num. 3:22,28,34: 7,500 + 8,600 + 6,200), which seems very small in proportion to the rest of the tribes, when we consider that Judah had 74,600 (Num. 1:27), and the rest each about 40,000, and none so few as 30,000. What happened to the Levites? Perhaps many of them were those idolaters who had been slain for worshipping the golden calf. Three thousand were slain in one day and many others died of the plague (Ex. 32:28,35). And what confirms this opinion, is that when Moses called out and asked, "Who is on Jehovah's side?", no persons are said to have come to him but of the tribe of Levi (32:26). And then he says to them, "slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor". Then later when Moses is blessing the tribe of Levi before his death, and praising their behavior, he says, "Who said unto his father, and to his mother, I have not seen him, neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children" (Deut. 33:9). The Levites had strife "at the waters of Meribah" (Deut. 33:8). It is fascinating to learn that the total number of Israelites was 603,550 (Num. 1:46) which is exactly the same number made at collecting the Poll-Tax for building the Tabernacle (Ex. 38:26). Yet the Levites were not now numbered. Therefore, just so many persons must have arrived at the age of twenty among all of the rest of the tribes, as the whole number of Levites that were then upwards of twenty amounted too. This confirms the scripture, "I have taken the Levites for all the first-born of the children of Israel" (Num. 8:18).
• Letters (radical & servile) -- Those who have not studied the Hebrew may be surprised why certain letters are considered as fixing the meaning of the word, and others as of no importance; in that language they are distinguished as radical and servile, a difference which may be traced in all languages. As in English, m, n, t (as th), and s, and all the vowels, are servile, or changeable, modifying, not changing the sense of the word. For instance in Hebrew Mishkan means God's tabernacle (M + shekinah) and Migdol means "Great tower" (M + gadol). Thus in English meat is what we eat, oxen is the plural of ox, they the plural of he, she the feminine of he. Notice that the sense is not changed whether we add or subtract the vowel from around to round and arise to rise. The verbs exemplify the changes of the vowels, as sat, set, sit, and sot, one who has sat too long to drink. So of all the Northern dialects. In Arabic, though grammars do not so call them, these letters are used as servile. The Greek affords similar instances; in Latin and all its derived languages, the same usage is obvious. Thus therefore in the name Sirius, the identity with Seir the Arabic, and Oseir or Osir in the ancient Egyptian, has never been questioned; the English and French Sire, the English Sir, are obvious derivatives from the primitive root of Sirius, which means to rule. Again, in the name Orion, the final n is according to the Arabic usage intensitive, giving force. The word does not perhaps at present exist in this particular form in Hebrew, but is regularly formed by the Hebrew usage, as he who cometh forth, as also by the Arabic, he who cometh. Both these names, however, we have through the Greeks.  
       


• Mountains -- kingdoms or governments (Isaiah 2:2-3, Jeremiah 17:3; 31:23; 51:24-25, Ezekiel 17:22-23, Micah 4:1; Daniel 2:35, 44-45). Same with islands.
• Morrow -- (Ex. 32:30) some time in the future, not always the day following. For instance, Genesis 30:33 where it is translated "in time to come". See also Ex. 13:14, Deut. 6:20,Josh. 4:6, 21, and 22:24.
• Mount Seir -- Mount Hor. "The Horites dwelt in Seir formerly, but the children of Esau succeeded them when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead" (Deut. 2:12). That son of Esau that conquered it was called, for distinction sake, Seir the Horite (Gen. 36:20). Notice near the beginning of the 40 years, the Israelites went up presumptuously and the Armorites "destroyed you in Seir, even unto Hormah" (Deut. 1:44). Then again at the end of the 40 years we read that they were stationed at Mt. Hor (Num. 20:22,27) or Hormah (21:1-3)-- the "way which the spies had gone formerly" (21:1)
• Melech -- King, whence Malek, Malka, Moloch. (e.g. Abi-melech)
• "Ministration of Death" -- Carrying out the death penalty, usually by stoning (2 Cor. 3:7)
• Milk -- "as newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word" (1 Pet. 2:2).
• Music -- Notice "when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand; so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him" (1 Sam. 16:23). Notice "when the minstrel played ... the hand of the Lord came upon him" (2 Ki. 3:15) and he prophesied.
• Mulberry Tree -- "Canis Minor" (2 Sam. 5:23-24; 1 Chr. 14:14-15; Rev. 11:4)
• Monkey -- A monk (minister) monkeying around with Scripture; he throws monkey wrenches into the works whenever someone tries to obey the Bible. He turns blue in the face trying to convince others to blindly obey him rather than the Bible. An archbishop is actually called a Primate. Policemen have a similar problem. Monkey business. Rules for me but not for thee. Turning a blind eye to perpetrator's crimes while sticking victim under microscope.
• Man of Sin -- The man of sin is not to be understood as an INDIVIDUAL who is yet to appear in the world, but of a SUCCESSION of individuals, since the Roman Empire was broken up into ten kingdoms in the fifth century, and it would leave fourteen centuries unaccounted for in the scheme of Scripture prophecy. Notice the frequent scriptural precedents for a SUCCESSION: for example, in Numbers 35:25-28, the line of High Priests is mentioned as "the High Priest." In 1 Samuel 8:11, the SUCCESSION of kings of Israel are called "the king." In Daniel 2:37-39, a SUCCESSION of several kings from Nebuchadnezzar to Belshazzar is spoken of in the SINGULAR number. In Isaiah 5:3-7, the whole nation of Israel is described under the term "the man of Judah," the Hebrew word rendered "men" in the Authorized Version being in the SINGULAR number. In Romans 1:17, all the faithful are included in the word of SINGULAR number, "the just" man. In 2 Timothy 3:17, St. Paul speaks of a SUCCESSION of Christian ministers under the term "the man of God." And in Titus 1:7, he speaks of the higher order of ministers under a singular noun as "a bishop." So St. John, in his second epistle, verse 7, describes "the Antichrist" as "MANY deceivers." All these passages serve to show that a SUCCESSION of individuals are described by a SINGULAR noun.
• Mercury (poisoning) -- Dental fillings cause mercury poisoning. Replace with inert ceramic or some other harmless substance.
• Mouth -- "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks" (Matt. 12:34; cp. Pr. 15:28; Pr. 18:4); "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he" (Pr. 23:7).
• Memorials -- Ex. 12 & Lev. 23 define the Sabbath & holy days as memorials, not shadows. "This do, in REMEMBRANCE of me" (Luke 22:20) "from year to year" (Ex. 13:10), once a year (Luke 2:42), not weekly on Sunday (Acts 20:7), or "as often as you" (1 Cor. 11:26) want.
• Messiah (Proof that Jesus is the) -- Jesus said, the Scriptures "testify of me" (John 5:39) and "all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms (Old Testament), concerning me" (Luke 24:44). What things? Where? "And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself" (Luke 24:27) because "to him give all the prophets witness" (Acts 10:43). Old Testament scripture is a "shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the thing" (Heb. 10:1). 1. The serpent would bruise Messiah's heel (through crucifixion) (Gen. 3:15). To heal us, he was lifted up on a pole and became sin (a brazen serpent) for us (Num. 21:9). 2. He was the Passover Lamb (Ex. 12:6) who freed us from bondage to Egypt (sin), silent before his accusers (Isa. 53:7), selected "four days" (4000 years) before being killed (Ex. 12:3-6), "according to the scriptures" (1 Cor. 15:1-4) with no bones broken (Ex. 12:46; Ps. 34:20; John 19:36). They "pierced" his "hands and feet" (Ps. 22:16; Zech. 12:10). 3. He carried the wooden crossbeam to Mount Moriah (Mt. Vision from Heb. "Raa" meaning "to see" [Gen. 22:14]) like Isaac carried the firewood there (Gen. 22:6). Both were tied to it. "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day, he saw it and was glad" (John 8:56). By a miracle from God, Sarah gave birth to Isaac when she was "past age" (Heb.11:11) just as by a miracle Mary gave birth while still a virgin (Isa. 7:14). 4. Falsely accused and assumed to be guilty (like Job), he was hated (Isa. 53:3-4) and rejected by his brothers (Luke 19:14) and sold for thirty pieces of silver (Ex. 21:32; Zech. 11:12) just as Joseph was hated and rejected by his brothers and sold for twenty pieces of silver (Gen. 37:28) -- the price of a slave in both cases. All eventually will bow the knee to Christ as they did to Joseph (Gen. 41:43) who was separated, Nazir (Gen. 49:26; Deut. 33:16) from his brethren. 5. Samson was a Nazirite (Judges 13:3-5) just as Jesus was called a Nazarene "that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets" (Matt. 2:22-23). Both Samson and Jesus spoke in parables (Ps. 78:1-2; Matt. 13:34-35). Samson was arrested by a mob of his own people of Judah and ultimately voluntarily gave his life for them while in Philistine captivity (Judges 15:6-13). Likewise, Jesus was arrested by a mob of His own people of Judah (Mark 14:43-50) and died voluntarily for them while in Roman captivity. He was a suffering servant (Isa. 53). 6. Moses came out of Egypt just as Jesus did (Hos. 11:1) and picked twelve men to search out the Promised Land (Number 13) just as Yeshua, "a prophet like me" (Deut. 18:15), picked twelve men to search for Bible followers to enter the kingdom of heaven (Mark 3:13). Moses brought the letter of the law, which reveals sin (Deut.). Yeshua brought the spirit and intent of the law, which reveals sinful intent. He "will magnify the law, and make it honourable" (Isa. 42:21). Moses' face shone at his second coming down the mountain (Ex. 34:29) just as Christ's face will shine at his second coming down the mount (Rev. 1:16). "For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me." (John 5:46). 7. Six steps led to Solomon's throne (2 Chr. 9:17-19) just as 6000 years lead to the Messiah's Millenium of wealth (1 Ki. 3:13), wisdom (4:29) and peace (1 Chr. 22:9). 8. Joshua (Yeshua) will cause Israel (Bible-followers) to inherit the Promised Land (Eternal Life) (Deuteronomy 1-4). The 42 encampments before Joshua's bloody conquest (Num. 33) parallel 42 generations from Abraham to Yeshua's bloody conquest (Matt. 1). 9. With a stone, David smote Goliath, a bronze and iron giant, after killing a lion and bear (1 Sam. 17). In the same way, Jesus is the Stone (1 Pet. 2:8) that smites the gold (lion), silver (bear), bronze and iron image of man (Daniel 2:34). Both David and Jesus were kings over all Israel for thirty-three years (2 Sam. 5:4-5; 1 Ki. 2:11). Herod died in 4 BC. which is when Jesus was born. Jesus began his ministry at about thirty years of age (Luke 3:23). So did David. Priests must be 30 years old (Num. 4:30-31). Three Passovers are recorded for Jesus ministry. Then he died in 31 AD making 33 1/2 year ministry. Both David (1 Sam. 16:1-4) and our Lord Jesus (Micah 5:2) were born in Bethlehem. Jesus was David's seed (2 Sam. 7:12; Jer. 23:5-6). 10. Elijah was forty days without food in desert (1 Ki. 19:8) and Jesus was forty days without food in the desert (Matt. 4:1-2). Elijah was "three years and six months” in the wilderness, and during that time there was no rain and a great famine was in the land (James. 5:17; 1 Kings 17:7; 18:2). After that, Elijah exposed the errors of Jezebel's priests and put an end to their sacrificing, the true God was honored, and copious rains followed (1 Kings 18: 41-45). Then Elijah "went up ... into heaven" (2 Kings 2:11).  In the same way, commencing in the middle of the seven years, Jesus will "put an end to sacrifice and offering" (Dan. 9:27) indicating a "three years and six months" ministry to a spiritually-starving earth (27-31 AD) fulfilling Daniel's 70-weeks prophecy. The pharisees were exposed. Yeshua was then "taken up ... into heaven" (1:11) and gave his Holy Spirit (former and latter rain). 11. When our Lord returns with "his face ... like the sun, and his clothes ... dazzling white" (Matt. 17:2) on Yom Kippur, the whole world will repent. Jonah typified this glorious second coming by having his skin bleached white inside the belly of a fish. Just as the Ninevites worshipped the fish god and so repented at the preaching of a man who came out of a fish after three days, so also the world now worships a living resurrected God and so will repent at the preaching of our Lord Yeshua who came out of the grave after three days, when he returns from heaven. Yes "he was buried, and ... rose again the third day according to the scriptures" (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). The beached fish vomited Jonah onto dry land, and then probably died, pointing forward to how the grave was destroyed by our Lord’s resurrection. "The (sea) weeds were wrapped about my head" (Jonah 2:5) just as Jesus had a crown of thorns on his head. On the first day in the city, Jonah told them that in 40 days God would destroy Nineveh (Jonah 3:4), just as Jesus told the Jews that in 40 years God would destroy Jerusalem (Matt. 16:4). 12. "About 2000 cubits" (Josh. 3:4) separated the ark from Israel just as about 2000 years separate the first coming of our Lord (26-27 AD) from the resurrection of Christians (2026 AD). “I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came" (Dan. 7:13-14) Jesus called himself the son of man 80 times. "Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me" (Psalm 40:7).
• Matching Funds Principle -- In Exodus 17:11 Israel prevailed against Amalek when Moses RAISED HIS HANDS. But when he lowered them, Amalek prevailed. In 2 Kings 13 an arrow was defined as "the Lord's deliverance" (13:17) and the king of Israel was told to "smite upon the ground" with those arrows but HE ONLY SMOTE THREE TIMES so God only gave him three victories over Syria (13:19). In Numbers 14 the Israelites SPIED OUT CANAAN FOR 40 DAYS and concluded "We are not able to go up against the people" (13:31); "let us return into Egypt" (14:4) and thereby broke their "promise" (14:34), so God gave them 40 years of punishment (14:34). In 2 Kings 5:10, Elisha told Naaman to "WASH IN THE JORDAN SEVEN TIMES" (5:10) to be clean of his leprosy. When he did it, he was healed. In 1 Corinthians 11:29-30 Paul pointed out that CONSUMING "BREAD" and "WINE" at Passover symbolize our Lord's body and blood for healing and forgiveness of sin. Those who merely treat it as a regular meal are "weak and sickly" and many "sleep" (11:29-30). Therefore when we are commanded to "eat unleavened bread seven days" (Ex. 12:15) and "dwell in sukkahs seven days" (Lev. 23:42), let us realize there are important consequences to obeying or disobeying -- matching funds. Small acts of obedience to the Bible have large consequences in what God may do for us. Child-rearing is a good example of how small, good habits taught in childhood will become a way of righteous living in adulthood. "As the twig is bent, the tree is inclined." -- Pope. Solomon said, "Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
• Menes -- Herodotus says, "the first man to rule Egypt was Min" (Her. 2:4, 99). Diodorus 1:45 says, "Menas was the first who reigned over the Egyptians ... the descendants of the above-mentioned king, fifty-two in all (ending in Ramses XII), reigned more than 1400 years." Misraim is identified with the first Egyptian pharaoh Menes (George Syncellus quoting Manetho's Book of Sothis). Eratosthenes, in Syncellus (p.127, Chronography) and Eusebius (Chron. Graec., p.17) affirm "Menes ... is also Mestraim" which is known to be the Greek manner of expressing the Hebrew name Mizraim by both Eusebius and Eupolemus. But how did they know?
1. Misor and Menes had the same man as father (The father is Ham [Amun; Hammon] who is called Cronus by Plutarch, Diodorus Siculus and Sanchoniatho)("Osiris ... his father (was) Amun" (Ham) -- Eusebius Prep. Evang. book 2). Mizraim's (or Misor's -- Isa. 19:6) father was also Ham (Gen. 10:6)
2. Misor and Menes had the same man as son (Misor's son is Thoth [Sanchoniathon] ; Menes' son is Athothes [Eratosthenes]. Athothes just has a Greek termination of es. Remember that Aram [1 Chr. 2:9] became Ram [Luke 3:33]; Eleazar became Greek Lazarus; and Shepherd King Apachnas [Josephus] became Pachnas [Africanus]) -- all dropping the initial vowel.
3. Misor and Menes both built the same city after the dispersion at the Tower of Babel about 2203 BC. Menes, the first king of Egypt, is said by Herodotus to have built Memphis (Her. 2:99) (a Greek corruption of Mene-phis; It was called Meneph by Arabians -- Bochart. But Arabians also call this city Mezer; and Turks call it Mitzir. So the city was named after both men.
Thus the last three kingly successions of Sanchoniathon: Cronus, Misor and Thoth answer to the first three in Eratosthenes: Jupiter Hammon (implied from the fact that the kings rule from Thebes -- No-Amun), Menes and Athothes. Sanchoniathon begins his history with Protogonus (Adam) and brings it down to Cronus (Ham), Misor (Mizraim) and Thoth (Cush, the second king of Egypt). Eratosthenes begins his catalog with Jupiter Hammon (Thebes or No-Hamun), Menes (Misor), and Athothes (Cush). In fact, Eratosthenes names a total of 38 kings of Thebes, Egypt, reigning for over 1055 years. This brings us down to the Siege of Troy and is a secular history that agrees with Bible history. If they reigned only in Thebais (southern Egypt), as the title of Theban Kings implies, this allows the Hyksos to rule in the north of Egypt (15th, 16th & 17th Dynasties overlap). Then the Theban kings take over even the north (18th Dynasty). The Hyksos never ruled over all of Egypt (Josephus Against Apion 1; Euseb. 10:13). (The first dynasty of the Thinites in Manetho also begins with Menes and Athothes.) Menes became a false god called Meon as in Baal-Meon (Nu. 32;38; 1 Chr. 5:8; Ez. 25:9), Beth-Meon (Jer. 48:23) and Beth-Baal-Meon (Josh. 13:17; 21:36).
• Mongrelization -- God's way is everything "AFTER ITS KIND" (Gen. 1:11). "God is not the author of confusion" (1 Cor. 14:33). Exodus 20:14 is a direct command against INTERRACIAL MARRIAGE. It says, "Thou shalt not commit ADULTERY." WHAT DOES "ADULTERATE" mean? "To corrupt, debase, or make IMPURE by an ADMIXTURE of baser materials; as, to adulterate liquors, or the coin of a country" (Webster's 1828 Dictionary). The Hebrew word for "ADULTERY" means "to commit ADULTERY" (Strong's #5003). If the seventh commandment merely means "extramarital sexual relations," then it is redundant since the tenth commandment also says, "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife." Deuteronomy 22:10 says, "Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass TOGETHER." (a marriage of different types) Leviticus 19:19 says, "Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender (breed) with a DIVERSE KIND: thou shalt not sow thy field with TWO KINDS OF SEED." (a marriage of different types) Deuteronomy 22:9 tells us we shouldn't MIX SEED, "lest the fruit ... be DEFILED." (hybridized, mongrelized) This is not written for the sake of plants and animals only, but "for our sakes" also (1 Cor. 9:10). On May 17, 1954, the Supreme Court ruled in the landmark case Brown v. Board of Education that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. This decision effectively overturned the "separate but equal" doctrine established in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), which had allowed for segregated facilities. The ruling affirmed that segregation in schools deprived students of the equal protection of the laws, as guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment. But the Bible was ignored which teaches SEGREGATION: God "scattered them abroad" (Gen. 11:8) at the tower of Babel. They wanted INTEGRATION so that they could be "one" race and "one" religion and "one" education system (Gen. 11:6). God wanted the races SEPARATE (Ex. 33:16). But open housing laws, or "fair" housing laws, prohibit discrimination in housing based on "protected characteristics", effectively preventing SEGREGATION which should be a man's right to "free exercise" of his religion. "Congress shall make no law respecting religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
• Masturbation -- Two opposing arguments: If a narcissist idolizes himself; and if someone who commits suicide is a self-murderer; then a masturbator is someone who commits homosexuality with himself. What people do in secret is "a spectacle to angels" (1 Cor. 4:9). Yet the Bible doesn't specifically condemn self-stimulation. Some medical doctors even go so far as to call the practice healthy. They say it relieves prostate congestion and stagnation and blockage by pumping. It lowers DHT levels for a short time thereby causing hormonal balance. It restores cellular health by "changing the engine oil" so to speak. Regular sexual activity causes continual flow of fluid thereby avoiding congestive prostatitis and BPH. If a man is not married, and has BPH, isn't this the only other alternative?
• Milky Way -- The MILKY WAY (a long green streak bordered by two white streaks) is "WHITE HAIR" (Rev. 1:14), "WHITE RAIMENT" or "WHITE ROBES" (1:13; 3:4-5,18; 4:4; 6:11; 7:9; 19:8), the AL-CAN highway (3:10), SPUTUM (3:16), an "EMERALD RAINBOW" (4:3; 10:1), a green "SEA of GLASS" (4:6; 7:1,3; 15:2) a white "CLOUD" (10:1; 11:12; 14:14), a "SCROLL" (5:1-9; 6:14; 10:2,8-10), the green trunk of a "FIG TREE" (6:13), a "GREAT MULTITUDE" (7:9), the "SMOKE" of "INCENSE" (8:4) or of the "PIT" (9:2) or of "TORMENT" (14:11) or of "GOD" (15:8) or of "HER BURNING" (18:9,18; 19:3) and "FIRE from the ALTAR" (8:5), "GREEN GRASS" (8:7), a "GREAT MOUNTAIN" (8:8), a "STAR FELL" (8:10; 9:1), "STREET" (11:8), "FLOOD" (12:15-16), white "SAND of the (green) SEA" (13:1; 20:8), "FIRE COME DOWN" (13:13; 20:9), "MOUNT ZION" (14:1), BITTER HERBS (16), Christ's "ARMIES" in white uniforms; the world's "ARMIES" in green uniforms (19:14,19), a "GREAT CHAIN" (20:1), "GOG and MAGOG" (20:8) and the green "RIVER of WATER of LIFE" (21:6; 22:1; 22:17). The STARS symbolize "CLOUDS" (1:7), "EYES" (4:6-8), weeping TEARS (5:4; 7:17; 18:11; 21:4), FALLING "STARS" (6:13; 12:4), or "FIGS" (6:13), a "SCROLL" rolled up (6:14), falling "ROCKS" (6:16), 144,000 "SERVANTS OF OUR GOD" (7:3; 14:1), "HAIL" (8:7; 11:19; 16:21), the "SEAL OF GOD" (9:4), "200,000,000 HORSEMEN" (9:16), "GENTILES" (11:2), a "MARK" (13:16; 14:9-11; 15:2; 19:20), "GRAPES" (14:18), "SORES" (16:2,11), HOLES in matzah (16), "GOLD, SILVER, PRECIOUS STONES and PEARLS" etc (17:4; 18:12,16), "ARMIES" (19:14,19), "FOWLS" (19:17), "SOULS" (20:4), "CAMP of the SAINTS" (20:9), the "DEAD" (20:12-13) and "LEAVES" (22:2).
• Moon --The MOON'S position in the zodiac makes it a part of the constellation it is travelling through. "And there shall be (Zodiac) signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars" (Luke 21:25).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. The gibbous phase is a BUCKET LID (11:6) or CROWN (3:11). The FULL MOON is a "LAMPSTAND" (2:5; 21:23), "WHITE STONE" (2:17), "MANNA" (2:17), "EYE SALVE" (3:18), "SEAL" (7:2; 10:4) "MILLSTONE" (18:21) RUDDER (James 3:3-6) or KIPPAH (1 Cor. 11:4-5). The DARK MOON in eclipse is a "SEAL" (7:2), "WOUND" (13:3), "BOTTOMLESS PIT" (20:1), "COAL" (Rom. 12:19-20; Pr. 25:22), "OPEN SEPULCHER" (Rom. 3:13) or "LAKE OF FIRE" (20:10). The MOON is a "DOOR" or "GATE" that opens (FULL) and closes (CRESCENT or NEW) (3:7-8;20; 4:1; 11:19; 15:5; 19:11; 21:13). It is a "MOUTH" that opens (full) and closes (crescent) in a frown or smile (12:16; 13:5) or "BOOKS" (20:12), "FRUIT" (22:2) or "PEARLS," black or white, (21:21) in any lunar phase.
• Meddling -- "Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done THEE no harm" (Pr. 3:30). "Who are you to judge ANOTHER MAN'S SERVANT?" (Rom. 14:4). Proverbs 20:3 says, "It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife, but every fool will be MEDDLING" (KJV & RSV). "He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife NOT BELONGING TO HIM, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears" (Pr. 26:17). When Christ was asked to arbitrate a dispute, he said, "Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?" (Luke 12:14). When Peter enquired about the personal future of John, Christ said, "If I will that he tarry till I come, IS THAT YOUR BUSINESS? Follow thou me" (John 21:22; KJV & Phi.).The definition of MEDDLING is giving unwanted help and advice when you have no right. It is the opposite of MEDALLING -- earning a medal in an athletic contest. When other people MEDDLE in your life, you then have a right to MEDAL in their life.
• Millenium -- The word “millennium” is derived from two Latin words: mille, meaning “thousand” and annus, meaning “year.” Millennium therefore means “thousand years.” We read in 2 Peter 3:8 that "one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." Also, "a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday" (Ps.90:4). Revelation 20:1-7 mentions a period of "a thousand years" during which Satan is chained and the saints live and rule with Christ. This thousand-year period is called a "rest" which Christians can "enter into" if they aren't "disobedient" (Heb.4:1,6,10,11; ASV, Gspd, Moffatt, Ber, Bas). Just as God physically created the earth in six literal days, making man in his physical image, and rested on the seventh day, so also he is creating his spiritual image of moral character in man for 6000 years before the Millenium when man will have a chance to rest. The Sabbath is "a shadow of things to come" (Col. 2:16-17). The penalty God threatened Adam with was that, "in the day thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die" which caused Adam as well as all his descendants to die within 1000 years of their birth. A week is therefore 7000 years.
• Mark (of the beast) -- In Exodus 31:13 and 17 we read that the Sabbath "is a SIGN between me and you throughout your generations, that ye may know that I am the Eternal who doth SANCTIFY you....It is a SIGN between me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the Eternal made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed." Regarding one of God's annual Sabbaths, we read: "it shall be for a SIGN unto thee upon thine HAND, and for a memorial between thine eyes (FOREHEAD), that the Eternal's law may be in thy mouth" (Ex.13:9). "And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart ... And thou shalt bind them for a SIGN upon thine HAND, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes (FOREHEAD)" (Deut.6:6-8). "Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a SIGN upon your HAND, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes" (FOREHEAD) (Deut.11:18). (See also Pr.7:2-3; Rev.7:3-4 & 14:1) But most people will not accept God's Sabbath in their MINDS or refuse to work with their HANDS. Their THOUGHTS (agreeing with God's ways) and ACTIONS (obeying God) will not surrender to God or obey him. What we BELIEVE and who we OBEY determine whether we have God's SIGN or Satan's MARK. Revelation 13:16-18 says, "And he (the beast with two horns like a lamb) causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a MARK in their right HAND, or in their FOREHEADS: and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the MARK, ("of the beast" with ten horns -- Rev.16:2) or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.... 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 three score and six." Since the MARK is "OF the beast" (Rev.16:2), we need to know who the beast is. Who is the beast? John said, "I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion, and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat (throne), and great authority" (Rev.13:1-2). "Beasts" are defined as "nations" (Ez.31:6) or "kings" (Dan.7:17) or "kingdoms" (Dan.7:23). The "sea" or water symbolizes "peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues" (Rev.17:15). The "horns" are "kings" (Dan.7:24; Rev.17:12). The "heads" are "mountains" (Rev.17:9) or governments (Jer.51:24-25; Isa.2:2; Micah 4:1) and the "dragon" is "Satan" (Rev.12:9; 20:2). Daniel 7 reveals that four successive world empires are symbolized by a "lion" (Chaldean or Babylonian Empire, 625-539 B.C.), a"bear" (Medo-Persian Empire, 558-330 B.C.), a "leopard" with four heads (Alexander's Greco-Macedonian Empire, 336-146 B.C.), and a fourth "diverse" beast with "ten horns" (Dan.7:7) matching the description of the beast John saw. This would be the ROMAN EMPIRE (31 B.C.-476 A.D.) which swallowed up and absorbed all the others and embodied the strongest physical and military characteristics of all its predecessors. Therefore, the MARK of the BEAST is the MARK of the ROMAN EMPIRE. The "number of the beast" is also "the name of the beast" and "the number of a man" (Rev.13:17-18). The founder and first king of Rome was ROMULUS. The Roman Empire was named after him. In Hebrew, the name is ROMIITH (R=200, O=6, M=40, I=10, I=10, TH=400) and in Greek the name is LATEINOS (L=30, A=1, T=300, E=5, I=10, N=50, O=70, S=200). It signifies "Latin Man" or "the name of Latium," the city where both the Roman people and their language came from. Both names add up to 666. But what about the beast which had "two horns like a lamb, and he spoke like a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him" (Rev.13:11-12)? Since a "Lamb" is defined as Christ (John 1:29; Rev.7:14), a "beast" with "two horns like a lamb" would be an ecclesiastical world government, exercising both spiritual and temporal authority (church and state -- the two horns), and appearing to be Christian, but teaching doctrines of Satan (the dragon). This PAPACY wielded all the power of the ROMAN EMPIRE from 538 A.D. to 1798 A.D. -- 1260 years (Rev.12:6,14). The "image of the beast" (13:15) was a likeness of the Roman Empire. As Myers Ancient History says, "there had begun to grow up within the Roman Empire an ecclesiastical state, which in its constitution and its administrative system was shaping itself upon the imperial model" (p.582). Since a "woman" symbolizes a "church" (2 Cor.11:2; Eph.5:25), the "great whore" of Revelation 17 is the same Roman Catholic Church as the lamb-like beast. This "woman ... is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth" (17:18) and she sits on "seven mountains" (17:9). The Roman poets Virgil and Horace both call Rome the "Seven-Hilled City" (see Georg.2:535; Aen.6:784; Carmen Saec.7). Remember that the saints "are they that KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS of God, and the faith of Jesus" (Rev.14:12). "And the dragon (Satan) was wroth with the woman (church), and went to make war with the remnant (last generation) of her seed, which KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ" (Rev.12:17). But "the wrath of God (seven last plagues)" comes "upon the children of DISOBEDIENCE" (Eph.5:6; Col.3:5-6). The great day of the Eternal is near ... that day is a day of wrath ... and I will bring distress upon men, and they shall walk like blind men because they have SINNED against the Eternal" (Zeph.1:14-17). Yes, the cups of the wrath of God are poured out upon "the men who had the MARK of the BEAST" (Rev.16:1-2). Therefore, the MARK of the ROMAN EMPIRE must be COMMANDMENT-BREAKING just as much as the SIGN of GOD is KEEPING THE COMMANDMENTS. Christians refuse to have the MARK of the ROMAN EMPIRE. But just as the SIGN of GOD was more specifically SABBATH-KEEPING, since that is one of the most obvious outward SIGNS of OBEDIENCE, so also SUNDAY came from the sun worship of the pagan Roman Empire. SUNDAY is the primary MARK of the BEAST (cp. Rev.14:9-11; 15:2; 19:20; 20:4)! It was Constantine, emperor of the Roman Empire, not a pope, who made Sunday the day of rest for "Christians." On the seventh of March in 321 A.D. an unusual edict was issued by Crispus and Constantine, often designated as the earliest Sunday law. It reads as follows: "on the venerable DAY OF THE SUN let the magistrates and people residing in cities REST, and let all workshops be CLOSED. In the country, however, persons engaged in agriculture may freely and lawfully continue their pursuits; because it often happens that another day is not suitable for grain sowing or forvine planting; lest by neglecting the proper moment for such operations the bounty of heaven should be lost." (Codex Justinianus, lib.3, tit. 12, 3; translated in History of the Christian Church, by Schaff, vol.3, p.380) But it was enforced by the Roman Catholic Church. At the Council of Laodicea in 364 A.D., the Roman Catholic Church decreed that "Christians must not Judaize by resting on the Sabbath, but must work on that day, resting rather on Sunday. But, if any be found to be Judaizing, let them be declared anathema from Christ."  The Catholic Church caused them to be killed because when they were branded "anathema" (a heretic), the state police of the Roman Empire began torturing them until they either died or recanted. Laws became so strict that no man could buy or sell, hold a job, or engage in business unless he worked on Saturday and rested on Sunday. The same is true today in many areas. The Sabbath is the only commandment altered by the Roman Empire. In Daniel 7:25 we read that this "little horn" (cp.7:8) PAPACY "will think to change the times and the laws" -- the time for the Sabbath law. "Because they received not the love of the truth (SABBATH), that they might be saved ... for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie (SUNDAY); that they all might be judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness" (2 Th. 2:10-12).

 

• Neighbor -- "Thou shalt love thy NEIGHBOR as thyself" (Lev. 19:18). But who is your "NEIGHBOR"? "The STRANGER who dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt" (Lev. 19:34). "Do unto OTHERS as you would have them do to you" (Matt. 7:12; Luke 6:31). Who are these "OTHERS"? A GOOD SAMARITAN (not a Levite or Priest) who is kind to you (Luke 10:25-37).
• Navigate -- To go from point A to point B on a map using a compass for direction, a watch for time and a speedometer for rate of speed where speed (mph) times time (hrs) equals distance travelled (in miles).
• Nakedness -- "Ham ... saw the NAKEDNESS of his father" (Gen. 9:22). This could mean having SEX with his father's WIFE (Deut. 22:30; 27:20) because Leviticus 20:11 says, "the man who lies with his father's WIFE hath uncovered his father's NAKEDNESS." (cp. Lev.20:20-21). Uncovering NAKEDNESS means having sex (Lev. 18). NAKEDNESS is associated with sin (Rev. 3:18). Having your "father's wife" is immoral (1Cor. 5:1).
• Nile River -- Named after King Nilus (Diod. 1:2) who lived after the Trojan War and cut the country into a variety of canals. Before that the river was called Egyptus after King Egyptus of Upper Egypt (Her. 2; Homer's Odyss. 4 & 14) from which the country also got its name. In the time of Joshua the Hebrew name of the river Nile was Sihor (Joshua 13:3; 1 Chr. 13:5) -- from the muddy color of its waters at the time of its increase. See also Isaiah 23:2 and Jeremiah 2:18.
• Nabi -- Prophet, whence Nabo, Nebo, or Nebu. (e.g. Nabo-pol-assar; Nebu-chadn-ezzer; Nabon-assar).
• Nimrod -- From Hebrew "MERED" to REBEL (e.g. "murder"; "marauder"). Combine the prefix EN (meaning "king" in Babylonian) with the Semitic root "marah" (MR) in Hebrew which means BITTERNESS as well as DISOBEDIENCE. From this root is derived "marad" (MRD), or REBELLION, which is the origin of the Israelite slang term Nimrod ("rebellious king")(the Babylonian Nin-Mir-Rud), or (NMRD). They were insulting King Marduk/Merodach (EN MRDK). Also Ninus since he built Nineveh (Gen. 10:11) and Nineveh means "Habitation of Ninus" (Spanish Nino -- child) or Marduk or Merodach the Babylonian god, with an N prefixed. A similar change has been made in the name Assur or Assuruk, the god of the Assyrians. An N prefixes it to create Nisroch. The Roman god Mars is also Nimrod. "Osiris was black" (Plutarch De Isid. et Os. 2:359). Bacchus (holding a wine cup-- Heb. khus) means son of Cush (Anacreon p. 296) -- Nimrod.
• 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. Plutarch says that the wife of Cronus (Ham) was called Nemaus.
• Name (My) -- Defined as "KEPT MY WORD and hast NOT DENIED MY NAME" (Rev. 3:8). Also "IN WORKS THEY DENY ME being abominable and reprobate" (Tit. 1:16). "You will be hated by all because of MY NAME" (Matt. 10:22) defined as keeping my commandments.
• New Song -- After David had been "brought ... up ... out of an horrible pit," he said that God "hath put a NEW SONG in my mouth" (Ps. 40:3). David also said, "I will sing a NEW SONG unto thee, O God ... who delivereth David, his servant, from the hurtful sword" (Ps. 144:9-10; cp. 33:3; 96:1; 98:1; 149:1). Therefore, a "NEW SONG" means "a new DELIVERANCE" from some kind of trouble. But in type the "NEW SONG" was the British NATIONAL ANTHEM -- "God Save The King" composed in 1652. By the Act of Settlement in 1689, it was once and for all determined that the British monarch must be a Protestant. That was something to SING about. At succeeding coronations, the monarch was required to take the Oath that he will defend the Protestant Faith and maintain the Act of Settlement. In 1910 the Declaration was "watered down."

• Oil -- Holy Spirit (Zechariah 4:2-6, Revelation 4:5;1 Sam. 16:13; John 16:13; 1 John 2:27)
• Olive Trees -- witnesses (Rev. 11:3-4); Israel (Jer. 11:16 ; Hos. 14:6; Rom. 11:24)
• Orpheus -- Before Hesiod's time, he taught that "In the beginning were chaos and a thick darkness; that light burst forth; that the sun, moon and stars came out of chaos; and that man was formed out of dust, and was endued with a rational soul by a supreme creative divinity. Thales, six centuries later, after learning wisdom in the East, taught nearly the same.
• Obedience (to human government) -- Did the same Peter who quoted Acts 5:29 "Obey God rather than men" suddenly change his mind in 1 Peter 2:13-16 when he said, "Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake"?
• Oath -- Is a perjury oath a form of worship? Oaths are taken to superiors (Heb. 6:16). Make no covenant with them (Ex. 23:32). Christ said not to swear at all (Matt. 5:34). Abraham swore that he would treat King Abimelech justly (Gen. 21:30). An oath is a religious ceremony according to every dictionary and encyclopedia. You bind your soul with an oath (Num. 30:2,10; Lev. 5:4). You raise your hand to heaven (Gen. 14:22; Deut. 32:40; Dan. 12:7). William Tell refused to salute Judge Gessler. It is what grants jurisdiction (Latin juro = oath; Latin diction = spoken). In Roman times gladiators assumed a physical position while pledging allegiance. In medieval times a fealty oath granted absolute in personam jurisdiction to your lord. (contrary to the first commandment: "Thou shalt have no other gods [magistrates or judges are elohim Strong's H430] before me" -- Ex. 20:3). Voluntary perjury oath signatures on paper are still all that is necessary in a government court today. In Boyd v. United States, 116 US 616, at p. 632 "any compulsory discovery by extorting the party's oath ... is abhorrent to the instinct of an American." The right to remain silent is a right to avoid oaths. It is the foundation of the Fifth Amendment. The Levellers main tenant was that refusal to take an oath was an inalienable right beyond the reach of any jurisdiction. In 1966, in Miranda v. Arizona, 384 US 436, p. 459 footnote 27 acknowledged that the fifth Amendment evolved from a 13th century law commentary that "the principle that no man is to be declared guilty of his own admission is a divine decree." A pledge of allegiance is a voluntary test oath that requires the assuming of a physical position. In 1943 the Supreme Court in Board of Education v. Burnette prohibited mandatory pledge of allegiance. They ruled at 319 US 624 p. 644 that "a failure because of religious scruples, to assume a particular physical position and to repeat the words of a patriotic formula" is a legal right, because if the pledge were mandatory, it would be a prohibited test oath, prohibited by the Constitution. The Supreme Court said that "Such a statutory exaction is a form of test oath, and the test oath has always been abhorrent in the United States."
• Oracle -- All men feel the need to get advice from God. The Scriptures are called "living oracles" (Acts 7:38; Rom. 3:2; Deut. 18:19). But people reject these oracles. Therefore, Satan -- the father of lies -- has endeavored to supply this need. The ancient heathen oracles were his counterfeit. The responses were always in some enigmatic or ambiguous form so that whatever future event might unfold, the credibility of the oracle would be sustained. That of Jupiter Dodona in Epirus; of Apollo at Delphi in Phocas, near Mount Parnassus; and the temple of Jupiter Ammon in the deserts of Libya, were the principal ones. Homer mentions the two former only. In process of time they became so multiplied that there were not less than twenty-five oracles in the small provInce of Boetia. These were consulted not only on important public questions, but likewise on the affairs of private life. According to the heathen tradition, Mount Parnassus was once tenanted by a mighty serpent, which had the power of speech and delivered oracular responses from a sacred cave. This Delphic serpent, which was called Python, was, according to the tradition, slain by Apollo. From this fabulous monster the name Pythius was communicated to the god, and Pythia, or Pythoness, to the priestess, who, after receiving the vapor of inspiration through the cleft of a rock, delivered the responses. The oracular temples were generally located in deep forests or steep, craggy places. The tripod or chair, on which the priest or priestess was seated, was sometimes over the mouth of a cavern; the vapor issuing from it was said to have an inspiring or infuriating effect on those who were upon it. Just as Jacob said, "I will not let Thee go, except Thou bless me" (Gen. 32:26), so also Athenian messengers during the war with Xerxes said to Apollo at Delphi, "We will never depart from thy sanctuary without a favorable answer, but will remain here until we die." A young woman with the spirit of Python was able to identify true servants of God (Acts 16:6). The magicians of Egypt were able to turn their rods into snakes just like Moses did. But Porphyry said, "Since Jesus began to be worshipped, no man has received any public help or benefit from the gods."
• Olympus -- From Omphial meaning "the oracle of the god Ham" perverted in time to Omphalus by the Greeks and Umbilicus by the Latins. Thus Delphi, the grove of Jupiter Ammon, Enna, the island of Calypso, and many other places of similar nature all had the title Omphalos, or Umbilicus and were absurdly supposed by the poets to be the center of the earth, as the navel, they thought, was in the midst of the human body (Pliny Nat. Hist. 3:12). Olympus is a variant of Omphalos, being composed of the same radical elements slightly transposed by the Greeks. This blissful mountain is a memorial of Eden where God talked to man. The principal portion of our churches bears the name "nave" or navel where God still talks to men via the Bible causing them to grow and mature for birth through the umbilical cord of Scripture. In allusion perhaps to the ship of Noah, the Greek appellatives for a ship (naus) and a temple (naos) are nearly the same.
• Oannes -- Satan spoke to Eve through the serpent (Heb. Ha Nahash) in the Garden of Eden promising her wisdom. The serpent became the common emblem among the oriental nations of superhuman wisdom. Later a fish-like man (Oannes) taught Babylonians. Berossus speaks of Oannes as a "daemon." Oannes is the Greek form of the name, and as there is no "h" in Greek, Ha Nahash would become anaas and with the article -- Oanaas. He taught them about "all kinds of (witch) crafts"? How to "establish (ziggurat) temples" and (Babylonian) "laws"? When a Philistine idol of Oannes (Dagon -- a word derived from Dag, “ fish,’ and On, “sun”) fell down before the Ark, "only the fishy part" was unbroken (1 Sam. 5:4; YLT). Regarding Genesis 3:1, the U in Hebrew is used to express the sound O; hence U Ha Nesh = O-annés. The digamma might be represented either by V, Ph, F, B or I (J). Apparently we have it in all possible ways in connection with this Ha Nahash, Ha Nesh, or anesh—the serpent. Thus anesh morphed into Venus (goddess of love, beauty, sex, fertility), Phanes (golden-winged, hermaphrodite deity), Pan or Faunus (half human half goat deity), Bennu (Egyptian deity) and Janus (Roman god of gates and doors).
• Osiris (or Isiris) -- Osiris had Canaan for a brother and Ham for a father. Therefore Osiris was Misor (Mizraim) (Gen. 10:6). According to Sanchoniathon, Isiris was "the inventor of three letters, the BROTHER of that Chna (CANAAN), who was first called a Phoenician" (Euseb. Prep. Evangel. 1:10). Stephanus of Byzantium says "Chna is Phoenice or Canaan, and Chna are the Canaanites." Cush (located in Assyria & Arabia) and Phut (in Africa & India) were brothers of Canaan but not in Egypt. MIZRAIM (or Misor) was the BROTHER of CANAAN in Egypt. "M" in Hebrew is a servile letter often omitted; it means "from" in Hebrew; leave it out and the name is Isor; add to it a Greek termination "is" from Philo Byblius (the Greek translator), which Greek authors always do to Eastern names, and it is Isoris or Isiris or Osiris. "Osiris, having married Isis, many ways promoted the good of that (Egyptian) kingdom; but especially by building the chief city thereof (Memphis), called by the Greeks Diospolis [but the Jews called it Hammon No] and therein erecting the temple of his PARENTS, whom the Greeks called Zeus and Hea; but the Egyptians are known to call HIS FATHER Amun, as the Jews Hamon or HAM" (Eusebius Prep Evangel. book 2). (History of Sanchoniathon, p.99). Misraim built THEBES. Damascius and Suidas say that the identity of Osiris and Adonis is the same (Damas. Vit. isid. apud Phot. Bibl. p. 1 049; Suid. Lex. vox).
• Ouranos (Uranus) -- Noah. How do we know Ouranos was Noah? 1. The descent of Cronus (Ham) from Ouranos and Ge (Noah and his wife) is acknowledged in all heathen Theogonies (Hesiod, Apollodorus, Diodorus Siculus, and in Euemerus Messenius transcribed by Eusebius). 2. Uranus had another son besides Cronus, named Iapetos, the Greek equivalent to Noah's son Japheth (Yapet). 3. The Sibylline oracles speak of Cronus, Japetus and Titan as the three sons of Noah (Cory, p. 52). Also the principal Titans are said to be Saturn (Ham), Japetus and Typheus (Lempriere Classical Dictionary art. Titanes) which are Ham, Japheth and Shem (Gen. 5:32). 4. Hesiod's Theogony 154-166 says Cronus castrated and deposed Uranus. Uranus, like Noah, is a patriarch responsible for populating the world. Uranus's youngest son (Cronus) performed a shameless act against him, like Noah's youngest son, Ham did to him.



• Pale horse -- Roman disease and pestilence (Matt. 24:7); green (Greek chloros).
• Pegasus -- From "Pega" meaning "chief" in Hebrew (as "Pacha") + "sus" meaning "horse" in Hebrew.
• Pythagorean Theorem -- For any 90 degree triangle, length of side A squared + length of side B squared = length of hypotenuse squared. Pythagoreans knew God as Tetractys (Tetragrammaton). Pythagoras is affirmed by Josephus, Porphyry and others to have to have conversed with the Hebrews. Aristotle de Coelo says, "Those Italians who are called Pythagoreans affirm that Pyr is in the center, and that the earth being itself one of the stars circling or revolving about that centre produces night and day." Plutarch considered Pyr as synonymous with Helius, and mentions Pythagorean teachers as maintaining that the earth revolved round the sun.
• Purple -- Royalty (Mark 15:17, Judges 8:26)
• Pharaoh -- "king" in Egyptian; Phiraon in Arabic means "a crocodile." The Arabs call the Egyptians Phiraon koumi, "the people of the crocodile", rather as a name of contempt. Ezekiel 29:3 calls "Pharaoh ... the great crocodile". The crocodile, a beast peculiarly venerated and worshipped, was mystically connected with this number 666. “The Egyptian account of this animal was, that sixty days elapsed before its eggs were laid, that the eggs were in number sixty, that sixty days passed ere they were hatched, that the animal had sixty vertebre in their spine, that they possessed sixty nerves, that their teeth amounted to sixty, that the period of their annual torpidity and fasting lasted sixty days, and, finally, that they obtained the age of sixty years.” — Wilkinson’s Egypt, vol. v. p. 237, quoted by Groves in “ Echoes from Egypt.” "Saltwater Crocodiles have 66 teeth, 18 on each side of the upper jaw and 15 on each side of the lower jaw." (iucncsg.org)
• Paycheck -- A bribe to forget your dreams and morals. A leash to keep you as a slave of men. A string to control you as a puppet.
• Peace -- "Salama" or Islam (Dan. 8:25). But Islam is not a religion of peace. The Quran says to KILL apostates (4:89). "Whoever changes his religion, KILL him." (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 3017). Peaceful Muslims are not Muslims. Sura 9:29 - "FIGHT those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture - [FIGHT] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled."
• Prevent -- Precede (1 Th. 4:15).
• Pleiades -- "Wasat", an Arabic name either of the Pleiades or of their brightest star, transmitted by Ulugh Beigh from early Arabian astronomy, means "the CENTER". So does the Greek name "Alcyone" (Ps. 104:4). So does the Latin name "Vergiliae" which means "CENTER of the revolving". One of the greatest achievements of modern astronomy was the discovery that the CENTER of our entire Galaxy of stars is the Pleiades. Yet apparently ancient astronomers knew this fact long ago.
• Precession of the Equinox -- The spring equinox passed from Taurus to Aries in 1865 BC. Giving Aries the standard 30 degrees, with a rate of one degree every 72 years (72 x 30 = 2160), we must add 2160 years for the spring equinox to pass from Aries to Pisces. Therefore in 295 AD the spring equinox passed from Aries to Pisces. Yeshua -- the Lamb of God's -- entire human life and ministry occurred when Aries was on the equinox (cross).
• Punishment -- God will reward and punish men for their actions on judgment day (Matt. 25:46). But even before that, in our present lives, punishments are inflicted in consequence of actions which have an immediate benefit or pleasure but delayed suffering. For instance sickness and early death are the consequence of intemperance of alcohol, use of drugs or fornication. The delayed punishments are often much greater than the immediate pleasure. The ignorance of youth does not prevent the punishment. The success, happiness or misery of later years depend largely upon how the young pass their youth. We have seasons and opportunities for procuring advantages at certain times, which if neglected, can never be recalled. If the farmer lets his seed-time pass without sowing, the whole year is lost to him beyond recovery. Repentance is often too late to relieve poverty, sickness, infamy and death. The effects of their own causes overwhelm them beyond possibility of remedy or escape. "Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; but you have set at naught all my counsel, and would have none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity" (Pr. 1:24-29).
• Pillar -- prophet, apostle or wise patriarch (Gal. 2:9). "Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars" (Pr. 9:1). The seven "pillars" of wisdom are men (Gal. 2:9) from Creation in 3960 BC till 967 BC. "Seven men who can render a reason" (Pr. 26:16). They are Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses and David.
• Pirate -- "Illegal" radio stations from "pirate ships" (e.g. Radio Caroline; Radio London) allow gospel to be preached to Britain (Pirates of Penzance)
• Pride -- Human "pride" is bad (James 4:6; Jer. 9:23) but godly "pride" is good (2 Cor. 7:4; Gal. 6:4)  Boasting about self is only appropriate when others wrongly belittle you.    Also when God works miracles through you, false modesty is blasphemy (Rom. 15:17).   But boasting can be quite dangerous also. Remember Nebuchadnezzar.
• Planets -- The visible PLANETS (moon, sun, Jupiter, Venus, Mars, Saturn, Mercury) form a seven-branched MENORAH held by Sagittarius (Rev. 1:12,20; 2:1; 3:1); a scroll with SEVEN SEALS (5:1); a SEVEN-HEADED DRAGON when they are near Hydra (12:3; 17:3,7); or seven "GOLDEN GIRDLES" on seven angels who are given SEVEN "CUPS" of freedom (the second Passover cup -- ten plagues) from Aquarius (15:6-8; 16; 21:9). Balak built SEVEN ALTARS for sacrifice to seven planets (Num. 23:1-25). They imagined the SEVEN DAYS of the week to be under the respective influences of the seven luminaries (Herod. 2:82; Dio Cassius Can. Chron. p. 448).
• Prophesying -- In the New Testament, the word prophesying is frequently used as a mere synonym of preaching or expounding the Scripture. See 1 Cor. 14; 11:4-5; 1 Th. 5:20; Rom. 12:6; Acts 2:14-37; 3:18; 4:10-13; 4:25-28; 7:2-54; 24:14; 26:6-27; 28:23; Luke 24:25-27, 44-46. The use of the word in this sense probably originated from frequent mention made by the first teachers to the prophets who had prophesied of Christ.
• Personification -- "Moses gave Gilead unto Machir, the son of Manasseh, and he dwelt therein" (Num. 32:40). Yet Machir was long dead. His descendants dwelt therein. The same personification of the Israelites is often found in Scripture described as Israel himself.
• Permission -- When God said, "I will harden Pharaoh's heart" (Ex. 7:3), it means God PERMITTED Pharaoh to harden his own heart (v. 22). Or as Paul expressed it, that "God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering this vessel of his wrath fitted to destruction" (Rom. 9:22). It being a common method of expression among Hebrews to attribute an action to the person who PERMITS it to be done even though it may be done by many persons. There were more Gods than one concerned in the creation of the world, as the verse says "Let US make man in OUR image" (Gen. 1:26) "And behold the man is become as one of US" (Gen. 3:22) and the Lord said, "Let US go down and there confound their language" (Gen. 11:7). And therefore Elohim (plural Gods) created using the singular verb "bara" (created), applied to the Supreme God, by whose will and authority it was, that the other God (the Word) was PERMITTED, and enabled to create, just as in the same sense and style Moses spoke about Joseph. Thus Joseph is said to DO whatever the prisoners DID in the prison where he was the keeper IN CHARGE (Gen. 39:22). Nebuchadnezzar claimed to have built Babylon himself even though he employed thousands of men in the task (Dan. 4:30). "Thus we know Pharaoh "hardened his (own) heart" (Ex. 8:15,32; 9:34; 1 Sam. 6:6) and God ALLOWED it. Again notice that Israelites "MADE the calf, which Aaron MADE" (Ex. 32:35) by his COMMANDING them to do it. Also notice that "I (God) will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables" (Ex. 34:1) but Moses actually wrote those "words" by God's COMMAND (Ex. 34:27-28). What does this say about "permissive" parenting of disobedient children? If parents ALLOW it, parents are the one's who really are disobedient.
• Priapus -- How do we know Priapus (Peor) is the same person as Mizraim (Menes)? 1. The LXX makes Meon a deity. 2. Meon was so great a title of honor that it is given to God himself in Scripture (Psalm 90:1; 91:9) and translated "Dwellingplace." The Lord is our "Meon" (Dwellingplace) -- not Mizraim (Psalm 90:1; see also Psalm 91:9). 3. Egyptian cities named in honor of Baal-Meon (Num. 32:38; Josh. 13:9,17,21; 21:36; Jer. 48:23; Ez. 25:9; 1 Chr. 25:8), in the plain of Misor (See Josh. 13:9,17,21; 21:36; Jer. 48:21 in Septuagint), were associated with the idol Peor (See Targum of Jonathan regarding Num. 32:38) which was a derogatory name for Meon. David sang about those who were "joined (sexually) to Baal-Peor" (Ps. 106:28). Peor (Opener of vagina) is only used by Jews in Scripture and rabbinical books so it must be an insult. There is no evidence that heathen authors ever used this name for their god. Priapus comes very near to it. This implies that Meon or Menes (Mizraim) was Peor (Priapus). Hierom often tells us Peor is Priapus. Isaiah leaves out "Meon" -- the idol's name -- in Isaiah 15:2, just calling a town "Beth". The Israelites changed the name of the city Baal Meon when they rebuilt it, just like that of Nebo, because these were false gods. 4. Plutarch tells us that in Osiris's feast called Pamylitia, his shameless phalli are carried in procession. They are three times as big as normal. Herodotus in his Euterpe assures us the phallus was movable. Lucian calls it erect. We know that Osiris was Mizraim (Menes or Meon) from proof already given. Priapus was known for his phallus also. "Peor" simply means "Opener" (of the vagina). 5. Priapus is the same as Dionysus according to Suidas. The Greek Dionysus is the same person as the Egyptian Osiris as proven by Diodorus, Herodotus and especially Plutarch. Therefore Priapus is Osiris whom we already have proven to be Mizraim (Meon or Menes). 6. Baal Pe'or, honoured with lewd rites, was Priapus ; Pe and Phe are prepositives; Gwr and wr in Celtic signify man ; thus Pe'or is the man ; and Peor Apis, as Bryant observes is Priapus; that is the man Apis; the first Apis was that Meon or Menes who was Misor:
• Pornography -- "Whosoever looketh on a WOMAN to LUST after her hath committed ADULTERY with her already in his heart" (Matt. 5:28). How can this be, when SEX APPEAL is the very basis of WANTING any WOMAN? A man must WANT, LUST AFTER, and DESIRE a WOMAN first, BEFORE getting married. The answer is that the Greek word "GUNE" can mean either WOMAN or WIFE, depending on the CONTEXT. It is not possible to commit ADULTERY if both the man and woman are UNMARRIED, so "GUNE" means WIFE in this verse. It is LAWFUL and NECESSARY to LUST AFTER a SINGLE WOMAN. It is NOT LAWFUL to LUST AFTER a MARRIED WOMAN. Before buying an expensive automobile, most men READ all about it. They LOOK at pictures of it. They EXAMINE it without damaging it. Before getting married, many men do the same with their fiancees. They take them to the beach or to a pool party. The woman is partially EXPOSED by the swimsuit. This mild form of "pornography" allows the man to "examine the merchandise" BEFORE purchasing. This mild form of "pornography" thereby minimizes "returns and exchanges." This is Biblical and harmless. This is ONE SIDE of the pornography question. But what about the other side? "Pornography" means "the writing of harlots" according to the Oxford Dictionary (from Greek porn ‘prostitute’ + graphein ‘write’). Pornography is "suggestive." Nudity suggests sexual permissiveness. Those who view pornography want to have sex. Pornography creates a demand for sex. Not with their wife -- for most viewers are young and unmarried. Sex with harlots. Married men who view pornography are tempted to commit adultery. The truth is that an increase in pornography is directly related to SEXUAL CRIMES, VENEREAL DISEASE and ILLEGITIMATE BIRTHS. Free sex is not free. It comes with a price. Over the years as pornography has gained acceptance, single motherhood has jumped dramatically — “in 2010 nearly 60 percent of all births in the U.S. were to single mothers,” while “in 1964, 93 percent of children born in the United States were born to married parents.” (Heritage Foundation study entitled “Marriage: America’s Greatest Weapon Against Child Poverty”). Along with pornography, "the Pill" was also responsible for the sexual revolution of the 1960s. Just as children who play with matches are likely to get burned, children who play with pornography are likely to fornicate or commit adultery -- and have unwanted births. It has often been said, "You are what you read." If you know what a person reads, you can pretty well determine his character -- or lack of it. A single volume can deeply influence the course of a person's life. Good books can uplift, inspire and stimulate to success and happiness. Is it logical to believe, then, that page after page of naked women does not influence a man toward actions of fornication, adultery or rape? What a young, immature person reads, sees, ponders and absorbs into his mind certainly does affect his character development, and his behavior. I Corinthians 15:33 says, "Do not be deceived: ‘Evil company corrupts good morals.'" As one publisher of pornography concluded: "When I first started, we published a book about Harry Truman and the Pendergast machine. I thought it was great, and I set up a $10,000 advertising budget. The book lost $40,000. A few years later, we did a big book about Viet-Nam, with an introduction by Senator Fulbright. It laid the biggest egg of the year. But when we brought out Candy, people were lined up to buy it. I was as stupid as any publisher who thinks he can create a market. I can't make you want to read anything; all I can do as a publisher is EXPLOIT your NEED. I've never lost money on a SEX book -- that should be some indication of what the public wants." Where does the Bible specifically condemn pornography? Leviticus 18:6 says, "None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to UNCOVER their NAKEDNESS: I am the LORD." Leviticus 18 is clear that seeing anyone's nakedness outside the marriage bond is a perversion. David SAW Bathsheba NAKED and was enticed to sin (II Samuel 11:2-5). In Ezekiel 16:43, God commands, "And you shall not commit LEWDNESS in addition to all your abominations." Habakkuk 2:15-16 says, "Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest LOOK on their NAKEDNESS!" Also naked female statues and images were worshipped. Numbers 33:52 says, "Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their (fertility) PICTURES, and destroy all their molten (fertility) IMAGES, and quite pluck down all their (sexual) high places." Deuteronomy 7:5-6 says, "But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their (fertility) IMAGES, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven (fertility) IMAGES with fire. For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth." As with any holy people, Jewish athletes insisted on a loin-cloth (compare 2 Maccabees 4:12, 13), and compulsory nudity was the extreme of shame and humiliation (Isaiah 20:2-4 Lamentations 1:8 Hosea 2:3 Nahum 3:5, etc.). "Having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, beguiling unstable souls. They have a heart trained in covetous practices, and are accursed children." (2 Peter 2:14). The apostles condemned peddlers of pornography (Ephesians 4:29; 5:3-6; Jude 7). Paul said, "Flee sexual immorality" (I Corinthians 6:18). It is unwise to hang around people, places or situations that tempt us into sex sins (Proverbs 5:3-14; Genesis 39:7-12). When we flirt with temptation, we can end up as an ox going to slaughter (Proverbs 7:6-27). Avoid carnal desire (Ephesians 4:17-22; Matthew 5:28).
• Palestinians -- Why don't Arab nations take in Palestinian refugees? Why won't Egypt, which shares a border with Gaza, take them in? 1. Palestinian refugees are a tool so the world can blame Israel for any inhumanity. 2. In 1991 Kuwait expelled 300,000 Palestinians in the aftermath of the First Gulf War because PLO had supported Saddam Hussain's invasion of Kuwait. 3. Palestinians in Jordan had called for overthrow of Jordan's monarchy in aftermath of Six-Day War in 1967. The PLO maintained their own private army on Jordanian soil. They robbed families and businesses in Amman in the name of "financial assistance" for the ongoing war of attrition against Israel. Jordanian police and military were killed in the process. The PLO were a state within a state repeatedly launching rockets into Israel. The P.F.L.P. hijacked multiple planes where passengers were held hostage in Jordan. By 1970 they were driven out of the country by Jordanian army after a full-scale war. 4. The PLO then moved into Lebanon where they allied themselves with Marxist and Socialist movements seeking to overthrow Lebanon's conservative Maronite Christian government. They completely destabilized Lebanon and less than four years after leaving Jordan plunged the entire nation of Lebanon into chaos and civil war from which it has never fully recovered.

• Quiet -- Jacob was a quiet man (Heb. "tam" ) or tame -- civilized (Gen. 25:27) -- a simple honest man. The Septuagint renders it, "without guile".
• Quails -- Hebrew "salav" probably refers to locusts rather than quails. The "flesh" given to Israel in Numbers 11:18 were probably locusts, not quails, because 1. the wind brought them (11:31) 2. They covered about 40 miles in diameter and two cubits deep (11:31) and 3. were spread in the sun to dry, like locusts are (11:32). All three of these expressions agree better with locusts than quails. But in addition, 4. Wisdom of Solomon 16:2 describes them as "ugly" (Quails aren't ugly) and 5. Scorpio is alternately a locust marked with red radius line in Numbers 11.




• Red/Scarlet -- Sin/corruption (Isaiah 1:18, Nahum 2:3, Revelation 17:1-4) or sacrifice (Rev. 19)
• Red Radius Line (or blue, or yellow, or green, etc.) -- "My tongue is the (red radius) PEN of a skillful writer" (Ps. 45:1); "a ROD of iron" (Rev. 19:15); "harp" STRINGS (Rev. 15:2); MENORAH (Rev. 1-2); shoe LACES (Isa. 20:2); broken REED (Isa. 36:6); hand PLOW (Jer. 26:18); sorcery HAT (Jer. 27:9); BALANCES (Jer. 32:10); BELLOWS ((Ez. 22:20); kidney-bladder anatomy (Lev. 7:4); BLOOD (Lev. 8:23); MENSTRUAL CHART (Lev. 15); THRESHER (Lev. 26:5); "a RIBBAND of blue" (Nu. 15:38-40); divining ROD (Deut. 18:10); SHIN (Ex. 13:9,16); a "PATTERN" (Ex. 25:40); a "K" for KOSHER (Rev. 18); a FOUCAULT PENDULUM (Rev. 10); CROSS (Rev. 11); ROPES of a WINE-PRESS (Rev. 14); LABARUM (CHI- RHO) (Rev. 5-6); KAABA (Rev. 9); FORK TONGUE (Rev. 13); GUILLOTINE (Rev. 16); RUDDER of Argo ship (James 3:3-6), BARS of BORDER WALL "cage" (Rev. 18:2). Should the Red Radius Line go in front of, or behind, the constellation-moon-sun? Notice some examples: The 144,000 are "not defiled with women; for they are virgins" (Rev. 14:4) meaning the female unclean menstrual blood (red radius line) is not touching them, so goes behind. Furthermore, the "scriptures ... testify of me" (John 5:39). Both old and new testaments are the two witnesses portrayed as open lunar or solar Bibles with red radius bookmarks (Rev. 11). The red radius lines go in front. The idol constellations can't "see ... hear ... walk" (9:20) or speak, which is what red radius lines represent. Therefore they don't go behind or in front in this case. This is further emphasized by the phrase to "not (red radius line) hurt" any constellation with a star in its forehead or green Milky Way in its body (Rev. 9:4).
• Reapers -- Angels (Matthew 13:39)
• Ram -- Medo Persia (Daniel 8:20)
• Ribs (three) -- Babylon, Egypt and Lydia (Dan. 7)
• Righteousness -- All thy commandments (Ps. 119:172); "the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day" (John 12:48).
• Ring -- Authority (Genesis 41:42-43, Esther 3:10-11)
• Rock -- Jesus / truth (1 Corinthians 10:4, Isaiah 8:13-14, Romans 9:33, Matthew 7:24)
• Red horse -- Roman war (Matt. 24:6)
• Rooster -- "before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice" (Mark 14:30). Lepus (rabbit) is alternately a rooster.
• Rod -- anger & correction (Isa. 10:5,24; Lam. 3:1; Pr. 10:13; 22:8,15); (measuring) rod -- canon of Scripture (Rev. 11)
• Race (Olympic) -- The Christian life (Heb. 12:1; 1 Cor. 9:24-26; 2 Tim. 4:7; Phil. 3:13-14) of the Saxon Race which is the White Race primarily at the present time. Notice "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).
• Rebuke -- Show the ignorant sinner where he is wrong lest you be held accountable for his mistake (Lev. 19:17; Pr. 26:5; Ez. 33; Matt. 18:15-18). But why behold a speck in your neighbor's eye if you have a log in your own? (Matt. 7); Also "He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife not belonging to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears" (Pr. 26:17). "I cannot hold my piece" (Jer. 4:19).
• Resurrection -- A wicked person's name is “blotted out” (Ex. 32:33; Deut. 25:19; 29:20; Ps. 69:28) of the Book of Life. This implies a resurrection for the righteous. "Death is swallowed up in victory" (1 Cor. 15:55). "Awake and sing, ye that dwell in the dust ... the earth shall cast out the dead" (Isa. 25:8). "Your dead shall live; their bodies shall rise. You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy! For your dew is a dew of light, and the earth will give birth to the dead" (Isa. 26:19). “Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live." (Ez. 37:14). "Death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning" (of the resurrection) "God will redeem my soul from the grave" (Ps. 49:14) "Many that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake" (Dan. 12:2) "Thou will not leave my soul in hell" to "see corruption" (Ps. 16:10). "As for me, I shall behold your face in righteousness; when I awake, I shall be satisfied with your likeness" (Ps. 17:15). But I will wait "till my change come" (Job 14:14). "For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been thus destroyed, yet in my flesh I shall see God" (Job 19:25-26). "As in Adam all die, so in Christ shall all be made alive" (1 Cor. 15:22) "And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt" (Dan. 12:2). God "kills and makes alive", "He brings down to sheol and bringeth up" (1 Sam. 2:6-10). Even in the apocryphal books we read about the resurrection: "God created man to be immortal, and made him to be an image of his own eternity" (Wisdom 2:23). "Of the twelve prophets ... let their bones flourish again out of their place" (Ecclus. 49:5).
• Responsibility -- What is your responsibility? Knowledge of a situation times control of a situation equals responsibility for that situation (Ez.33:2-7). Rights are proportional to responsibilities. Liability must be limited to what a person would have stood to gain. A concubine who commits adultery can only be scourged "because she was not free" (Lev.19:20). As Christ said, "If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin; but now they have no cloak for their sin" (John 15:22). "Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin. But now ye say, we see. Therefore, your sin remaineth" (John 9:41). God ignores mistakes (Acts 17:30) but "unto whom much is given, of him shall be much required" (Luke 12:48). Those who deliberately disobey will be beaten with many stripes while those who accidentally disobey will be beaten with few (Luke 12:47-48). Why not remain perfectly ignorant then? Because if a man falls off a cliff and dies, he may have been ignorant of the cliff (not responsible) but he must still bear the penalty (death). "Not guilty by reason of insanity" doesn't mean "not penalized." God has given us various identifying "SIGNS" such as Sabbath-keeping (Ex. 31:17) and putting the Law on our hand and forehead (Deut. 6:8 & 11:18) to set us apart from idolaters and lawbreakers and identify us to the world as responsible covenant-keepers who therefore have rights. 
• Revenge -- As 1 Peter 3:9 says, "Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should INHERIT A BLESSING" when dealing with LEGAL AUTHORITY. This is because we reap what we sow. But on the other side of the coin, "eye for eye" is biblical and "the rest will hear and fear" (Deut. 19:18-21) when you are the LAW. "Do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother" (Deut 19:19). "For you tolerate it, if a man orders you around, takes what is yours, puts on airs of superiority or slaps you on the face" (2 Cor. 11:20). Why tolerate evil? Why "strengthen the hands of evildoers" (Jer. 23:14)? "Shouldest thou help the ungodly and love them who hate the Eternal? Therefore there is wrath upon thee from before the Eternal" (2 Chr. 19:2)? "Because sentence against an evil work is not executed swiftly, the hearts of men are set in them to do evil" (Eccl. 8:11). (See 1 Pet. 2:21-23; 3:9; Eph. 4:31-32; Rom 12:17-21; 1 Th. 5:15;  Pr. 24:29). 
• Rights & Responsibilities -- Rights are proportional to responsibilities. They are two sides of the same coin. Those who won't fulfill their responsibilities, forfeit their rights. The right to life only exists for those who don't murder. The right to private property only exists for those who don't steal. The right to freedom only exists for those who are law-abiding respecting other's freedom. A Sabbath-breaker is legally dead, even though he is defacto alive. An idolater who gives presents to a tree on the winter solstice is legally dead even though he is defacto alive. A sacrilegious thief (non-tither) is legally dead even though he is defacto alive. Those on death row have no rights. Dead men have no rights to complain about anything-- even if they are still alive.
• Resonance -- An alternative to contagious virus theory (viruses don't cause disease): If you put DNA or RNA in water (beaker one); then put a collection of nucleic acids (the chemicals that make up the DNA and RNA) in a separate water beaker (beaker two), in another part of the room; then shine UV or infrared light on beaker one; in time the exact same sequence of DNA or RNA will form out of the raw materials in beaker two. No study has proven that any virus is contagious. Viruses are not alive.


• See -- Hear. "Behold your eyes see (hear)... that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you" (Gen. 45:12) in Hebrew. "All the people saw (heard) the thunderings and the noise of the trumpet" (Ex. 20:18).
• Seed -- Descendants / Jesus (Romans 9:8, Galatians 3:16)
• Sar -- a chief; whence Czar, Sire. Kai-sar is a Persian title meaning chief (Sar) king (Kai). (e.g. Kai-sar)
• Salt -- Preservative from corruption and decay (righteous thoughts, words and actions) (Matt. 5:13). Ten righteous men would have saved Sodom (Gen. 18:32). In the same way, the worldwide church saves the world; and the world will be burned up when Christians are removed from it by a resurrection.
• Stink -- Not a literal smell; but instead anything offensive; "ye have caused our fragrance to STINK in the nose of Pharaoh, and in the nose of his servants -- to give a sword into their hand to slay us." (Ex. 5:21) "Saul had defeated the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel had become a STENCH to the Philistines" (1 Sam. 13:4; ESV). "Afterward Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have ruined me! You’ve made me STINK among all the people of this land—among all the Canaanites and Perizzites. We are so few that they will join forces and crush us. I will be ruined, and my entire household will be wiped out!” (Gen. 34:30; NLT). "I hate I despise your festival days, and your solemn convocations STINK." (Amos 5:21; ISV)
• Sin -- Transgression of the law (1 John 3:4); whatsoever is not of faith (Rom. 14:23).
• Sothic Cycle -- A cycle of 1460 years in the calendar of ancient Egypt. The Egyptian calendar had a year of fixed length, 365 days, with no leap years. This phenomenon was the Egyptian Sothic Cycle, based on the star Sirius (called Sothis by the ancient Egyptians). The error with respect to the 365-day year and the heliacal risings of Sirius amounted to one day every four tropical years, or one whole Egyptian calendar year every 1,460 tropical years. The dates for the start of each Sothic cycle are fortunately known because the Roman historian Censorinus fixed the coincidence of New Year’s Day and heliacal rising of Sothis in AD 139. Taking into account a slight difference between a Sothic year and a year of the fixed stars, the years 1322, 2782, and 4242 BC are taken as starting points of a Sothic cycle.The Sothic cycle or Canicular period is a period of 1,461 Egyptian civil years of 365 days each or 1,460 Julian years averaging 365¼ days each.
• Stone -- Christ's kingdom; Britain (Dan. 2); Jacob's Bethel Stone of Scone (Gen. 49:24). When this statue of Daniel 2 is placed flat across Europe with each part of the human anatomy placed over its corresponding GEOGRAPHICAL area, the FIFTH stone kingdom's identity becomes obvious. It is "cut out without hands" (Daniel 2:34) from the continent by means of Noah's Flood creating the English Channel. Notice the comparatively shallow depth of the English Channel. It is 20 fathoms or 120 feet deep -- a fathom being six feet. God created a defensive moat around the British Isles to protect them from the idolatry of Roman Catholic Europe. Britain was cut out of Europe politically and religiously at about the time of the Protestant Reformation. Notice that the STONE has to be ABOVE the feet in order to FALL on them. As Jesus said, "the kingdom of God shall be taken from you (Jews of Palestine who reject me as Messiah), and given to a nation (the "Lost Ten Tribes of Israel" in Britain) bringing forth the fruits thereof. And whosoever shall fall upon this STONE shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall FALL, it will grind him to powder" (Matt. 21:43-44). Daniel 2:44 says, "And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people (or be conquered by another nation), but it shall BREAK in PIECES, and CONSUME all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever." ABRAHAM is the heir of the WORLD (Rom. 4:13). "And the STONE that smote the image became a great mountain (Great Britain) and filled the EARTH" (Dan. 2:35). Therefore, the world-ruling STONE empire has to be ABRAHAM'S descendants. "Thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles" (Isa. 54:3). The British Empire with its Coronation STONE (as well as the United States) became that STONE Kingdom, the FIFTH world empire after Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Pagan Rome, and Papal Rome (Gen. 49:24). After the "seven times of the Gentiles." In 1936 the British Empire was eight times the area of the previous Roman Empire which had been the largest of the four Gentile empires. The Union Jack flew over one quarter of the land surface of the earth and governed one quarter of the world's population -- it filled the whole earth -- the sun never set on the British Empire. The Roman Empire could have been put comfortably inside Australia. Babylon was 605,000 square miles. Medo-Persia was 1,360,000 square miles. Greece was 1,757,000 square miles. Rome was 2,375,000 square miles and the British Empire was 16,769,000 square miles. If the British Empire is not the STONE Kingdom, then why didn't Daniel see this largest-of-all empires as part of the statue? Does it make sense that the British Empire would not be mentioned in the Bible when all the other lesser empires of the world have been mentioned?  Israel was to grow up to become the FIFTH or STONE Kingdom in ignorance of her origin and destiny (Dan. 2:44; Rom. 11:25; Gen. 49:24). When Philip II learned of the result of the expedition, he declared, "I sent the Armada against men, not God's winds and waves". Karl Marx wrote, "England seems to be the ROCK against which all revolutionary waves are broken." Napoleon said, "If it were not for England I would conquer the world." Fascist Benito Mussolini complained in 1938 that "Italy has no FREE ACCESS to the oceans; she is actually a PRISONER ... The bars of that PRISON are Corsica (Fr.), Tunisia (Fr.), Malta (Br.) and Cyprus (Br.), and its guards are Gibraltar (Br.) and Cyprus (Br.)" William Shakespeare described England as "This fortress built by Nature for her self Against infection and the hand of war, This happy breed of men, this little world, This precious STONE set in a silver sea Which serves it in the office of a wall Or as a moat defensive to a house, Against the envy of less happier lands, This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England" (Richard II, Act 1, vv.4-11). Certainly Bible prophecy wouldn't ignore the BRITISH EMPIRE which -- with the UNITED STATES -- ruled one third of humanity, when prophecy mentions SMALLER empires such as Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome. Since the British are not any of these four empires, but came AFTER all of them, they must be the FIFTH STONE kingdom that rules the world. GEOGRAPHICALLY the British Isles fulfill the prophecies of the stone cut out of Europe -- "the stone of Israel" (Gen. 49:24).
• Stone heart -- unconverted (Ez. 11:19; 36:26; 2 Cor. 3:3); smitten (converted)
• Silver -- Pure Words & Understanding (Proverbs 2:4; 3:13-14; 10:20; 25:11, Psalms 12:6)
• Serpent -- Satan (Revelation 12:9; 20:2)."They call those gods which, if they had life and breath, and a man should meet them unexpectedly, would pass for monsters." -- Roman historian Varro
• "Spoke Unadvisedly" -- (Psalm 106:33) "Hear now ye rebels! Must WE fetch you water out of this rock?" (Num. 20:10) No credit to God for the miracle. Thus Moses had to smite the rock twice (Num. 20:11) since the water didn't issue at the first stroke that he might be made sensible of his error and give God glory. "Ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel" (Deut. 32:51).
• Shinar -- The Tower of Babel is said to have been built in “a plain in the land of Shinar” (Gen 11:2) also known as Sumer. The whole of Babylonia is designated Sumer and Accad, and among their other titles the Babylonian and Assyrian monarchs always are called "king of Sumer and Accad". Sumer comes from Heb. Shingar. But ng is frequently changed in Accadian into m. Thus their word Dingir (God) becomes Dimmer, and Dingira (a surname of the goddess Istar) becomes Dimir. In this way Singar or Sungar became Sumer or Shumer in which form it is met constantly on the monuments. Sennaar of Babylon is mentioned by Hestiaeus the Milesian (Ant. 1:5 & Eusebius de pr. ev. 9:15) and the city of Singara in Mesopotamia is mentioned by several (Ptolemy table 4; Pliny Nat. Hist.; Amm. Marc.). As for the difference between the words Shinaar and Singar, it is very small, considering in the Hebrew, the same character stands for the Ain and the Ghain. For instance either Gomorrah or Amorrah is correct. Either Gazah or Azzah (Gen. 10:19).
• Sackcloth -- Sackcloth is black (Isa. 50:3; Rev. 6:12) and is associated with mourning (Ps. 30:11). Two witnesses wear sackcloth (Rev. 11:3).
• Stick -- Scepter (Ez. 37:16-17) From 917 BCE to 1603 CE = 2520 English [Joseph’s] and Scottish [Judah’s] crowns and thrones were as separate as two sticks.
• Sword -- Word of God (Eph. 6:17, Heb. 4:12). "His maker gives him his sword" (Job 40:19). Two-edged sword (Rev. 1:16; 2:12,16; Heb. 4:12). Both Old & New Testaments proceed out of Christ's mouth. Two witnesses.
• Speak -- Meditate -- "Speak to (Meditate about) the earth" (Job 12:8); Judges 5:10; Ps. 69:12 and Ps.145:5 use the same word (7878) translated "speak".
• 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).
• Seal -- Holy Spirit in our hearts (Eph. 1:13; 2 Cor. 1:22; Rev 7:2-3) "The Lord knows them that are his" (2 Tim. 2:19) "Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are SEALED unto the day of redemption" (Eph 4:30).
• Six Hundred Sixty Six -- The word for “bad”, "wicked" or "evil" in Hebrew is ra. This word (Hebrew #7451) occurs 666 times in the Hebrew Bible. King Solomon received “666 talents of gold per year” (1 Kings 10:14, 2 Chronicles 9:13; New English Translation),which was a "heavy yoke" of taxation (1 Ki. 12:4), alongside his many wives (700 plus 300 concubines which “turned away his heart after other gods” -- 1 Kings 11:4), both of which are warned against in Deuteronomy 17:17 "that his heart turn not away". Solomon said, "I gathered me also silver and gold, and treasure such as kings and the provinces have as their own; I got me ... women very many … whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them; I withheld not my heart from any joy …. Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do; and, behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind, and there was no profit under the sun. … This also is vanity and a great evil” (Ecclesiastes 2:3-21). In the New Testament the letters of the Greek word "euphoria," from which the word "wealth" is translated, total 666. Another New Testament word which has the value of 666 in Greek is "paradosis" meaning "tradition" (Acts 19:25; Matt. 15:2). Paradosis: P=80, a=1, r=100, a=1, d=4, o=70, s=200, i=10, s=200. Wealth and tradition are the two great corrupters of people and institutions. Catholic traditions have "equal authority" with Scripture.
• Satan -- Satan is the Devil (Matt. 4:5), that is, the Calumniator or Accuser ; and Satan (1 Chr. 21:1), or the Adversary. He is alfo called the Dragon (Rev. 12:3,9), or, which is the same thing, the old Serpent which deceiveth the World (Rev. 20:2; 12:9); because it was in that shape that he deceived our first parent Eve. He is also called Beelzebub (Matt. 12:24), which signifies the Fly-God, or the Lord cf Flies, and the Prince of the Power of the Air (Eph. 2:2); because he and his angels are supposed to inhabit the air, or broadcast through the airwaves. His name Diabolus, Devil, comes from Hiberno Celtic Dia, God and Abheil or Avel, Air. A serpent in Irish is Aithid; which also signifies a fiery person; hence Hate, the Greek Ate; and probably Hades. Of Ate Homer relates, "Jove whirled her headlong down, forever driven, From bright Olympus and the starry heaven; Thence on the nether world the fury fell, Ordained with man's contentious race to dwell."
• Swamp -- The great whore "sitteth upon MANY WATERS" (Rev. 17:1) and Babylon "dwelleth upon MANY WATERS" (Jer. 51:13). Recall that the Euphrates (Tiber; Hudson) ran through Babylon (Rome; NY) and sometimes OVERFLOWED its banks. Meccah's Kaaba was located in a valley and rains created a FLOOD problem. Sholtz, Watson, Abrahams, Murchison, and Paddock (excluding Bowman) spell SWAMP.
• 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).
• Sukkot -- "We that are in this TABERNACLE (Greek "skenoma") do groan, being burdened ... that MORTALITY might be swallowed up in life" (2 Cor. 5:4). "Know ye not that your BODY is the temple of the Holy Spirit" (1 Cor. 6:19) for about "threescore and ten" years (Ps. 90:10). "God hath said, I will DWELL IN THEM and walk in them" (2 Cor. 6:16).
• 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). "Ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God" (Eph. 2:19). Saint, sanctify and sanctification mean separated, separate and separation.
• "Some" -- Many or all. Notice that "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).
• Samaria -- Omri, the first king of Israel, built the city of Samaria. Hebrew scholars state that Omri in Hebrew had the letter (pronounced Ayin) at the beginning, and this was originally pronounced Ghain. So Ghomri stands for Omri, but by Egyptians as welll as Assyrians it was Khumri. The black obelisk of Shalmaneser says, "The tribute of Yahua (Jehu), son of Khumri I received." Kimmeria or Cimmeria or Krimea or Crimea. In ancient Greek this word was written with a C. Thus Simon was written Cimon. If the C is hardened it would be pronounced K. So the Crimea may have been called after Samaria from the Greek Kimmeria.
• 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.
• San Hedrin -- There were twelve captains of the twelve tribes named (Numbers 2:3-25 & 10:14-28). Also there were 58 heads of families next in rank to the twelve (Num. 26:5-50): Reuben 4, Simeon 5, Gad 7, Judah 5, Issachar 4, Zebulon 3, Manasseh 8, Ephraim 4, Benjamin 8, Dan 1, Asher 5, and Naphtali 4 called "princes of the congregation" . Adding 58 + 12 = 70 "princes of the congregation". When the tribes of Reuben and Gad desired their portion on the other side of Jordan, the princes of the congregation were consulted (Nu. 32:2). When the Israelites made peace with the Gibeonites, the princes of the congregation sware to them (Josh. 9:15). In a dispute about the right of inheritance, the daughters of Zelophehad came before these princes of the congregation (Josh. 17:4). See also Num. 27:2,31, 26 & 36:1. (see Congregation)
• 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 -- Rest from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset. 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".
• Samson -- (Hercules) The twelve labors of Hercules correspond to the twelve signs of the zodiac. Yeshua is therefore Hercules (Samson).
• Saturn -- How do we know Saturn was Cush and Nimrod? 1.) "Saturn was the first sovereign of Babylon" (Hislop quoting Eusebius pp.31-32 Two Babylons). Both Cush (Belus) and Nimrod (Ninus) were the first two kings of Babylon (Scaliger). 2.) Saturn ate his own children (p.231 Hislop; Hesiod Theogonia line 485). A "Cahna Baal" means a priest of Baal (Lev. 18:21; Jer. 19:5; 32:35). Both Cush and Nimrod were cannibals. 3.) Saturn's birthday was December 25th -- called the Saturnalia. His wife Semiramis claimed an evergreen tree grew out of a dead stump (Ez. 6:13); and that Horus her son was Nimrod reincarnated. They were worshipped as "Madonna and child" with presents under the tree on the anniversary of his birth. Fortuna and Jupiter in Rome. Aphrodite and Adonis in Greece. Astarte (Easter) and Baal in Canaan. Both Cush and Nimrod were husbands of Semiramis (Dio. Sic. 2:6). 4.) Saturn hid in Rome which was named Saturnia after his death. Latium actually received its name because Saturn (lit. "conceal") was supposed to be hidden there (latere -- "to lie hidden"; Ovid Fasti 7:238; 3:29; Aeneid 8:319). Cush first wore the papal Dagon miter; and the Apennine Mts. of Italy were anciently called the mountains of Nembrod. (Nimrod). 5.) Saturn (Cronus -- "horned one") was known in Chaldee as "Satur" (a goat-legged deity -- Pan or Faun or Satyr translated "demon" in Lev. 17:7). S=60 + T=400 + U=6 + R=200 = 666. Thus a black goat-man with hooves and horns became an image of Satan (Lev. 16:10). In fact, Satan and Saturn are the same word, one early Latin and the other late Latin. Both Cush and Nimrod were evil. Nimrod was "a mighty hunter against the Eternal" (Gen. 10:9) while Cush caused "chaos" at the tower of Babel.
• Second Coming (When?) -- Just as there were 2000 cubits between the Ark and the Israelites, so there are 2000 years between 26-27 AD and 2026-2027 AD. From when "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen" (Rev. 18:2) on 11 Sept. 2001 (sun fire in Ophiuchus) till "in the (lunar) cup which she (Virgo) hath filled fill to her double" (Rev. 18:6) is 300 degree months bringing us to 2026. From when the Philadelphia Era began in 1517 with the "open door" of the Protestant Reformation (sun in Sagittarius) till the lunar "crown" (Rev. 3:11) on Taurus that is a two-pronged key that "opens" (+149°) and "shuts" (+360°) (Rev. 3:7) is 2026. From when "a branch shall grow out of his (Jesse's) roots" (Scorpio's eight limbs look like roots) in 26 AD till "ye (Canis Major) draw water out of the (solar & lunar) wells of salvation" (Isa. 12:3) is 2000 years ending in 2026. From when "he (Auriga) sat on the (Milky Way) Mount of Olives" and "the (Gemini & Orion) disciples came unto him privately saying, Tell us when shall these things be and what shall be the (Zodiac) sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?" (Matt. 24:3) in 30 AD till "the eagles (Lyra, Aquila) be gathered together" (Matt. 24:28) and "they shall (lunar eyeball) see the (Sagittarius) son of man coming in the (Milky Way) clouds of heaven with power and great (solar) glory" (Matt. 24:30) is 2026 AD. From when the (lunar) axe is laid at the (Scorpio) root" (Matt. 3:10) till (Perseus' "sword" and Hercules' "club") fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his (solar golden) wheat into the garner" (3:11-12) is 2026 AD. From when our Lord "weighed the (brown lunar crescent) mountains in (Libra) scales" (40:12) and "the nations ... as the small (brown) dust of the (Libra) balance" (40:15) in 539 B.C. till our Lord (Sagittarius) "measured the (blue solar) waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out (blue solar) heaven with the (red radius line compass) span" (the distance between the tip of the thumb and the tip of the little finger when the hand is fully extended)(40:12) and "Behold, the nations are as a (blue) drop of a (black Zodiac circle) bucket" (40:15) in 2026 A.D. is 2564° years till He brings "his (solar blue earth -- "they shall inherit the earth" -- Matt. 5:5) reward ... with him" (40:10). "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength (a resurrection in 2026 A.D.); they shall mount up with wings as eagles (Aquila; Lyra; Cygnus); they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint (in a resurrection in 2026 A.D.) (40:31).  From when "I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands (lunar shield and red radius line spear held by Gemini), wherewith ye fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans, which besiege you without the (red radius line) walls, and I will assemble them (Gemini) into the midst of this city" (Jer. 21:4) and "Mine (lunar red) heart within me is (half moon) broken because of the prophets; all my (Milky Way) bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom (a red lunar cup of) wine hath overcome ... For the land is full of (red radius line) adulterers ... For both prophet and priest (Gemini) are profane (red moon); yea, in my (red radius line) house have I found their wickedness, saith the Lord" (23:9-11) and "I will ... make them drink the (red lunar) water of gall" (a metaphor for snake venom -- Deut 32:33) (23:15) because "they are prophets of the (lunar red) deceit of their own heart" (23:26) "that use their (lunar red) tongues, and say, He saith" (23:31) to their "perpetual shame" (red radius line in Canis Major) (23:40) in 585 B.C. until "I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their (red radius line) folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase" (Coma and Virgo pregnant) (Jer. 23:3) is 2026 AD.  From when "I will (red radius line) break his (crescent) yoke from off thy (Taurus) neck, and will (red radius line) burst thy bonds, and (Gemini) strangers shall no more serve themselves of him" (Jer. 30:8) in 539 B.C.; and from when "I was chastised, as a (Taurus) bullock unaccustomed to the yoke" (Jer. 31:18) in 539 B.C. TILL "I will satiate the soul of the (Gemini) priests with (solar white) fatness" (31:14) in 2026 A.D. and men appear to be travailing with child: "Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins (Gemini), as a (pregnant) woman in travail, and all faces are turned into (solar white) paleness?" (30:6) in 2026 A.D., is seven times around plus 44° years. Clockwise from "the day that I lifted up mine (Aquarius;Castor; Cepheus) hand unto them, to bring them forth of the land of Egypt (the Exodus in 1446 B.C.) into a land that I had espied for them, flowing (out of Aquarius's bucket) with (lunar white) milk and (solar golden) honey" (Ez. 20:6)(sun in Gemini) till "I will bring you out from the (Gemini) people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty (Aquarius; Castor; Cepheus) hand, and with a stretched out (Aquarius;Castor; Cepheus) arm, and with fury (solar fire from red radius line Aquarius' bucket) poured out" (Ez. 20:34) at the Second Coming of our Lord in 2026 A.D. (moon in Aquarius) is 3471° years  which is 9 laps plus 231° years more.  
• Sibyl -- Babylonians worshipped the god Sibi as the "collective personification of the seven evil spirits" and the word sibi means seven (Mythology of All Races, Langdon, p.147). The god Sibi seems to have survived in India to this day as Siva, who is also worshipped as a seven-headed serpent (The letters "b" and "v" alternate in many languages). The priestess who claimed to listen to and speak for the serpent was called a sibyl and the books of these priestesses were Sibylline books. The serpent's voice is a hiss, and the hissing letters of our alphabet are called sibilants. The Latin word sibilo means to hiss and is at times directly connected with the voice of the serpent (see this word in Harper's Latine Dictionary). In Apte's Sanscrit dictionary we find Siva defined as "serpent" and "the number seven." Our own word "seven" seems to be related to this Sibi-Siva root as is also the root sep meaning "seven" in such words as septet. In Egypt the word Sep is defined as "serpent," "chief of seven," the word "Seba" is "serpent of evil" and Sepa is "serpent." (An Egyptian Hieroglyphic Dictionary, Budge) and "a mythological serpent fiend." On the other hand, the name "Sibyl" in Hebrew means "an ear of corn" (grain) pointing to Virgo the Virgin. In this constellation we find Subilon (a spike of wheat) and Subilah (who carries). The plural is "Shibboleth." Cicero's opinion of the Sibylline books was "that they were rather calculated to extinguish than to propagate superstition." Consequently their subject was not the idolatrous religion of Rome. Cicero also informs us that they predicted a king who was to arise about that time, whose sovereignty was to be universal, and under whose rule the world should be at peace. The Sibyl seems next to say, "The virgin comes who shall bear the promised progeny of heaven, who shall revive the worship of that Deity, long hid beneath the idolatries of the iron age, whose early reign, whose age of gold, he shall restore." (Virgil thought Peace treaty of Brundisium in 40 BC under the consulate of Pollio was the commencement). Therefore, when the CHURCH (Sibyl) is righteous, she is VIRGO, or a seven-branched MENORAH. When the CHURCH (Sibyl) sins, she is a seven-headed SNAKE. "He says he means to clear his mind of me" refers to those who left AC and the WCG because of its VENOM. "Let's not quibble Sibyl!" A Bible follower must leave the WCG (Sibyl) and must also leave the UNITED STATES (Sibyl) in order to be free to obey the Bible.
• Star -- Who are the STARS? The seven lighted wicks or "STARS" or "angels" are messengers of the seven churches (Rev. 1:16,20; 12:4, 7-9; Job 38:7) -- the LEADING human TEACHER of each church. The Torah READER (Luke 4:16; Acts 13:15,27; 15:21) or WRITER or MESSENGER (Haggai 1:13) of the Synagogue was known as the "angel" of the Synagogue. "Angels" (Heb. "elohim") can refer to human "judges" or "rulers" (Ex. 22:8,28; Ps. 82:6). The twelve STARS in Joseph's dream represented the LEADERS of the twelve tribes of Israel (Gen. 37:9-10). In Balaam's prophecy, our LORD is a "STAR out of Jacob" (Num. 24:17-19). The little horn "cast down ... the STARS to the ground, and stamped upon ... the MIGHTY and the HOLY PEOPLE" -- Jews and Christians (Bible followers) (Dan. 8:9-24). "They that turn many to RIGHTEOUSNESS" are like "the STARS" (Dan.12:3). Our Lord says, "I am ... the bright and morning STAR" (Rev. 22:16). "STARS" therefore represent RIGHTEOUS RULERS described as burning wicks. "And there shall be (Zodiac) signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars" (Luke 21:25). A falling star is a leader removed from office (Dan. 8:10; 12:4). The Nestorian monk Sergius was excommunicated for heresy and immorality and then wrote the Koran before being put to death by Mohammed to keep it a secret. Mohammed was also a prince by birth of the house of Koreish, the heir of the rulers of Mecca who possessed the "keys of Caaba" -- symbolic of rulership. The keys of Kaaba were held by Mohammed's family, the house of Koreish, who for four generations were governors of Mecca. But his grandfather and father died while he was young and he became orphaned and destitute (Gibbon 4:260). He lost power and fell from office -- "a star fall from heaven" but given a "key" (Rev. 9:1). As Mohammed said, "The sword is the key to heaven and hell" (Gibbon 27:461). Also the fallen angel was not Gabriel but Lucifer (Rev. 9:1).
• Sun -- The SUN is not to be worshipped. It is a servant (shemesh) that visually becomes part of the constellation it is travelling through. "And there shall be (Zodiac) signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars" (Luke 21:25). 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). It is VOMIT (2 Pet. 2:22). The sun is also a symbol for Jesus / the gospel (Psalms 84:11, Malachi 4:2, Matthew 17:2, John 8:12; 9:5).
• Shem -- "Sem" executed Nimrod (Wilkinson, Egyptians vol.5, p.17) "by the power of God" and then cut his body into pieces (vol.4, pp.330-332; cp. Judges 19:29) or tearing him limb from limb (p.81, Sanchoniathon). Shem was also known as "Sheth" (Num. 24:17). Typho was called Seth (Epiphanius, Adv. Haeres., book 3). Plutarch gives to Typhon the titles of "Seth" and "Smy", and the latter in Greek would be "Smu" which is evidently the same as "Semu". Therefore, another account reads: "Set, the brother of Osiris, rebelled against him and cut his body in pieces" (Rawlinson's Egypt and Babylon). Both Seth and Shem are synonymous and mean "the appointed one" (p.65, Hislop). He was called Sydyc (Melchizedek -- p. 47. Sanchoniathon). "Adonizedek king of Jerusalem, the same was Shem" (Jasher 16:11). Just as Nimrod was torn in pieces in Babylon by the hand of Shem when his body was dismembered and the pieces distributed throughout the cities of Nimrod's dominion, so also Orpheus was torn to pieces in Thrace, and Bacchus was torn to pieces in Greece, and Osiris was torn to pieces in Egypt. As further proof that Typhon was Titan, or Shem, it is related by Plutarch that when Typhon was subsequently conquered, he fled away and begat Hierosolymus and Judaeus (Plutarch De Iside, S. 31; Cumberland's Sanchoniathon, p.108). That is Hierosalem, or Jerusalem, and Judea. This is a mystical way of saying that he was the founder of Jerusalem and the ancestor of the Jews. This tends to identify Shem with Melchizedek, whose name means "righteous king," and who was king of Salem or Jerusalem. As "priest of the Most High God" (Heb. 7:1), he was evidently the origin of the name Jerusalem, or Hierosalem, "Hieros" or "Hiereus" meaning "priest." Typhon overcame Osiris "not by force or open war, but, having entered into a conspiracy with SEVENTY-TWO of the LEADING MEN of Egypt, he got him into his power and put him to death, and then cut his body into pieces and sent the different parts to so many different cities throughout the country" (Wilkinson's Egyptians 4:330-332). This agrees with Diodorus who reported that Egypt was divided into SEVENTY-TWO Nomes and each had a JUDGE (Diodorus 1:48-58; Hislop, p.64 note). Ancient Greeks recognized Shem as Typhon of Egypt and he was also recognized as such by Herodotus (485-425 B.C.) and Plutarch (46 B.C.). Plutarch says that Shem was a fair person with a red complexion. “TYPHON HAD RED HAIR” (De Iside et Osiride , 362. xxx). Shem (Typhon -- a derogatory name applied to him by the Egyptians) “was red in complexion” and “had red hair.” For an account of Nimrod’s death at the hands of Shem (Typhon) see Diodorus of Sicily, Vol. I, Book 1, para. 21, and para. 88. Notice the following interesting quote: “RED oxen, however, may be sacrificed, because it is thought that this was the colour of TYPHON (Shem), who plotted against Osiris [another name for Nimrod] and was then punished by Isis [Semiramis] for the death of her husband. Men also, if they were of the same colour as Typhon, were sacrificed, they say, in ancient times by the kings at the tomb of Osiris; however, only a few Egyptians are now found RED in colour, but the majority of such are non-Egyptians” (Diodorus of Sicily, Book I, para. 88).
• Scorpions -- "children of Israel" (Ez. 2:6; Amos 7:8); Roman catapults called "SCORPIONS" threw stones weighing a TALENT each (Wars 5:6:3; Rev. 9:10; 16:21) in 70 AD. Being around "rebellious" "impudent" and "stiffhearted" men is like dwelling "among SCORPIONS" (Ez. 2:6). Rehoboam's reply to the deputation who wanted him to lighten the tax burden was, "I will chastise you with SCORPIONS" (2 Chr. 10:14) or impose OPPRESSIVE TAXES. In 612 A.D. Mohammed publicly proclaimed his mission to convert all so-called Christians and infidels to the Koran. These were Greek and Latin "CHRISTIANS" who were image-worshippers and idol-worshippers in practice -- who weren't "SEALED with the Holy Spirit" (Eph. 1:13) because they didn't depart "from iniquity" (2 Tim. 2:19). Moslems called them "dogs and infidels" and treated them accordingly. Arabs offered conquered peoples the choice of accepting the Koran, or of PAYING TRIBUTE MONEY, or of death by the sword (scimitar like a scorpion tail in shape and thrust point first just like a scorpion tail would strike). Christians could buy their liberty to continue in their own religion, but only at the cost of HEAVY TRIBUTE. This is the meaning of "as the torment of a SCORPION." See Jeremiah 8:3 and Job 3:2 for examples of those who prefer death to life. Historians often refer to Papal Edicts and Bulls as the "thunders" from the seven-hilled city of Rome. Therefore we read that "seven thunders uttered their voices" (10:3) in reply. Gibbon uses the word and says "The spiritual thunders of the Vatican depend on the force of opinion; if that opinion be supplanted by reason, the sound may idly waste itself in the air" (ch. 70). Luther said, "Terrible as the lightning and the thunder, fulminatory Bulls and anathemas impended over the heads of those who incurred pontifical displeasure" (Antichrist Revealed, p.47). John was told to "write them not" (10:4) because he was only to "write ... true and faithful" words (Rev. 21:5). Similarly, Luther replied to the Pope's final Bull thundered in June 1520, by gathering an audience outside the walls of Wittenberg where he deliberately burned the Papal Bull and Edicts. In this manner the "seven thunders" were "sealed up" (10:4) which is portrayed astronomically by a full moon SEAL pushed onto Scorpio's SEVEN-segmented, poisonous stinger -- 1 Cor. 15:56. (1633 A.D. -- 180 degree-years from Orion) The full moon censors libel and blasphemy ("the sting of death is sin" -- 1 Cor. 15:56) while the sun radiates truth. What happened on this lunar date? What was the pope's libel? If we add 180° YEARS, we arrive at 1633 when Papal bulls and edicts were "thundered" from the seven-hilled city of Rome (seven-segmented Scorpio stinger -- 1 Cor. 15:56) to condemn Galileo for believing in HELIOCENTRISM. The Papal condemnation of Galileo for "having believed and held the doctrine, which is false and contrary to the sacred and divine Scriptures, that the Sun is the center of the world and does not move from east to west and that the Earth moves and is not the center of the world" -- June 22, 1633 -- required him to recant by swearing an oath. Is the earth stationary and do the sun, moon, and planets revolve around it perhaps once per day (cp. Ps. 93:1, 96:10, 104:5, 1 Chr. 16:30 and Eccl. 1:5)? Galileo believed that the earth was ROTATING which can be proven with Foucault's PENDULUM (Scorpio and the FULL MOON plumb bob suspended from Scorpio's stinger with red radius line string) swinging in a constant plane of oscillation (Milky Way path) from one side (the lunar extreme) to the other (the solar extreme) yet appearing to travel ina full circle (Zodiac) in 24 hours at the poles and 48 hours at 30 degrees latitude. Once again, the FULL MOON NEUTRALIZES Scorpio's stinger using it as a pendulum. "SEAL up those things which the seven thunders uttered" (red lines represent speech) (10:4). To prove that the earth REVOLVES around the SUN, simply observe the same section of sky six months apart (SUN and MOON positions 180° apart) with a telescope and the stars (black zodiac) will seem to shift positions due to PARALLAX. Also RETROGRADE MOTION of planets is most easily explained by HELIOCENTRIC model...
• Seven-Part Timeline of the Apocalypse -- 1.) Chapters 1 & 2: The Ephesian Era existed from sun in Sagittarius ("eyes like a flame of fire ... out of his mouth ... two-edged sword" -- Rev. 1:12-17) (96 A.D.) clockwise opposite to full moon in Gemini ("thou hast LEFT thy first love" (2:4) 180° away from Sagittarius = 276 A.D.). These Christians survived until the reign of Bahram II (276-293) when "Zoroastrianism was promoted in the empire and other religious communities were persecuted." (Christianity in Iran, A Brief History by Massoume Price). Our Lord "removed the [gold radius line FULL MOON] candlestick out of his place" in Persia (Rev. 2:5). The Smyrna Era existed from 303 to 313 A.D. which was the "tribulation ten days" (2:10) -- Diocletian's persecution 10° years -- from the lunar CRESCENT sword in Sagittarius (303) ("death" -- 2:10) to the SUN crown in Sagittarius (313) ("crown of life" -- 2:10). The Pergamos Era existed from the sun in Sagittarius (313) ("he who hath the sharp sword CRESCENT with two edges" -- 2:12) to Capricorn (+30° = 343) ("Satan's seat" -- 2:13) and back to Capricorn (+ 360° = 703 A.D.) again ("where Satan dwelleth" -- 2:13) since the phrase is mentioned twice. The black pot of "hidden (white & round) manna" (Ex. 16:14,31) is portrayed by a white crescent since the black lid is ajar. It was brought forth on Yom Kippur when the High Priest returned to bless the people after a GOAT was sacrificed. By 703 the Byzantine North African territories of Algeria and Tunisia, as well as Morocco, fell to the Islamic Empire and many Christians fled to Spain. Also in 703 Armenian Christian nobles or nakharars were massacred in Nakhichevan Cappadocia by Moslems -- whose sign was a CRESCENT. Satan "dwells" in Islam. (2.) Chapters 2 & 3: The Thyatira Era existed for 1260 years (Jezebel's "space to repent" -- 3 1/2 years -- Rev. 2:21 & James 5:17) from sun in Sagittarius (96 A.D.) ("eyes like a flame of fire" -- 2:18) clockwise to full moon in Gemini (+1260° = 1356 A.D.) ("her CHILDREN " -- 2:23). The Bubonic Plague in 1356 A.D. was Jezebel's "(sick) bed," "great tribulation" (Rev. 2:22) and "I will kill her CHILDREN" (2:23). Likewise with the French defeat at Poitiers in 1356 and the Golden Bull of 1356 which made it law to choose the German emperor without Papal approval. The FULL MOON in Gemini is a WHITE swollen LUMP in the groin area called a bubo. Symptoms include gangrene which causes skin tissue to turn BLACK. The Sardis Era existed from Gemini (1356) ("her CHILDREN" --2:23) to Ophiuchus (1507) ("HOLD fast ... defiled their garments [by holding a slimy unclean snake] ... WALK with me" -- 3:3-4) or 151 years. In Roman times Ophiuchus was known as Asclepius who was a healer who learned the secret of IMMORTALITY, hence "a name that thou LIVEST " (3:1) -- Asclepius. King Uladislaus of Hungary in 1507 was presented with two letters VICIOUSLY denouncing the followers of John Huss -- known as Bohemian Brethren. He therefore forbade their meetings and destroyed their books. Their clergy were made prisoners. This was Scorpio's lunar CRESCENT stinger under Ophiuchus. The Philadelphia Era existed from Sagittarius (1507-1517 A.D.) ("he that hath the KEY of David" [CRESCENT arrow] -- 3:7) clockwise to Taurus (+149° = 1666) ("KEY ... openeth and no man shutteth" -- 3:7) the moon door with TWO-PRONGED KEY back to Taurus again (+ 360° = 2026 A.D.) ("shutteth and no man openeth" -- 3:7) the moon door on Yom Kippur of 2026. Why 1666? Because that is when the Fire of London, the Bubonic Plague on London and battles between the Dutch and English fleets occurred indicating to many the "end of the world." The Laodicean Era exists from Hercules (1507 -- when Martin Luther was ordained a priest) to Andromeda (+159° = 1666) ("neither cold nor hot" -- 3:15) and back to Andromeda (+360° = 2026 A.D.) ("neither cold nor hot" -- 3:16) again. The phrase is mentioned twice. Notice that Andromeda is located on the Spring equinox of March 21 which is "LUKEWARM." Andromeda is "wretched, and miserable, and poor, ... and naked" (3:17), chained to a rich lifestyle. Consumed by the fish of debt. Hercules (Samson) is "blind" (3:17). She is out of synchronization with Perseus, her husband, and therefore is lacking the gold (SUN), white clothing (MILKY WAY) and eyesalve (gibbous MOON of Taurus) that our Lord (Sagittarius) has to offer. The 15 degrees of Andromeda-Laodicea are the "hour of temptation" (Rev. 3:10 & 18:10,17,19) which our Lord will keep Perseus-Philadelphia away from because if "a day is a (360-day) year" (Nu. 14:34; Ez. 4:6) and there are 24 hours in a day, then each "hour" is 15°. How does Perseus-Philadelphia avoid this "hour of temptation"? Perseus has wings on his heels and flies north. By travelling up the Al-Can Highway (Milky Way) to Whitehorse (Sagittarius), Perseus goes from "hot" (April 20 to May 20; "fiery trials") to "cold" (Nov. 23 - Dec. 22) and avoids "lukewarm." Whitehorse itself is "hot" in summer and "cold" in winter also. Perseus-Philadelphia tastes yummy. Notice that other constellations that see the danger are also in flight along this road (Aquila, Cygnus & Lyra). But when Andromeda tries this, Sagittarius spits her out of his mouth and the Milky Way becomes his sputum. She doesn't taste good. Laodicea's LUNAR door to the Lamb is BARRED with a red bar. The door is either the heart of Taurus or the anus of Aries -- depending on whether she loves him or not. Aries continually knocks on the door of her Taurus heart. (3.) Chapters 5 & 6: John was exiled by Domitian to Patmos in 86 A.D. This is indicated by the CLOSED-door CRESCENT IN ARIES. (Aries -- "Lamb ... having seven HORNS and seven EYES" -- Rev. 5:6). But the "Lamb OPENED one of the SEALS" (Rev. 6:1) for preaching Christ is Lord and God. In other words, John was RELEASED from Patmos 10° years later by Nerva in 96 A.D. when Aries kicked the SUN-seal off the lunar CRESCENT "UNDERNEATH" with his hoof. If we add 240° years to 86 A.D. we get 326 A.D. when Constantine executed his eldest son Crispus and his second wife Fausta (CRESCENT in Sagittarius). Adding 10° years, we arrive at the SUN in Sagittarius. Constantine's DEATH in 337 A.D. (Sagittarius -- "a pale horse: and his name ... was DEATH" -- Rev. 6:7) was 241° years clockwise after John's revelation on Patmos in 96 A.D. (see Irenaeus Heresies & Eusebius Eccl. Hist.) Constantine's reign of 24 years (313-337) was a microcosm of the 241-year pagan Roman Empire. Chapter 7: From 337 A.D. (sun in Sagittarius -- "SEALED ... of all the tribes ... of Israel" -- Rev. 7:3-4) we add 30° years to come to 367 when Picts, Scots, Saxons, and Franks attacked Roman Britain from all sides (Res Gestae 27:8). The Zodiac and Britain are both surrounded. Adding another 30° years we come to 397 when Stilicho repelled a Pictish, Irish and Saxon attack on Britain. Adding 30° years more we arrive at 427 A.D. Vortigern allowed Jutes, Saxons, Angles, Franks and Frisians into Britain to keep Picts out in 425-427. Etcetera. Finally we come to 697 A.D. On his death in 690, Theodore of Tarsus left behind a well-organized Sunday-keeping church in almost all of Britain. SUN-SEALED. Meanwhile 144,000 Celtic Bible-followers were SEALED with the Saturday Sabbath and LUNAR method of calculating Passover. The FULL MOON formed a SEAL in OPPOSITION to SUN-worship all around the Zodiac. MOON-SEALED. It is very likely that Eadfrith produced the Lindisfarne Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John in Gaelic) prior to 698 in order to commemorate the elevation of Cuthbert's relics in that year, which is also thought to have been the occasion for which the St Cuthbert Gospel was produced. (4.) Chapter 8: Adding a 50-year Jubilee Cycle (8:1-3) to 337 (when Constantine died -- Rev. 6:2), we arrive at 387 A.D. (CRESCENT in Sagittarius) when Magnus Maximus invaded Italy in order to dispose of Valentinian II. Theodosius led an army against him and KILLED him the same year. Adding 120° years ("ONE THIRD" of the Zodiac -- Rev. 8:7-12) we come to 507 A.D. when Clovis I defeated the Visigoths in the Battle of Vouille (CRESCENT in Aries). Adding 15° years ("half an hour" -- 8:1) brings us to the SUN in Sagittarius on 402 A.D. when Alaric's Visigoths entered Italy. On 6 April 402, in Pollentia, the Visigoths, were distracted and celebrating Easter SUNday when Stilicho decided to attack. (Sagittarius -- Alaric "stood at the (church) altar (Ara), having a GOLDEN [sun] censer" -- Rev. 8:3). Although there was no clear victor, Stilicho managed to capture Alaric's wife, children, and other important relations. The Visigoths left Italy after losing the subsequent Battle of Verona to Stilicho in 402 A.D. Theodoric the Ostrogoth later married his daughter Amalasuntha to the Visigoth Eutharic, but Eutharic DIED in 522, so no lasting dynastic connection was established. (Sagittarius, not Aries, "opened seventh [SUN] SEAL" -- Rev. 8:1). Also in 522 the Catholic Burgundian king Sigismund KILLED his own son Sergeric, who was Theodoric's grandson (SUN-wound in Aries). From the start of this dynasty till its demise was 120 years just as from Sagittarius clockwise to Aries is 120° or "ONE THIRD" of the Zodiac (Rev. 8:7-12). This was probably our Lord's own royal blood line dynasty. Chapter 9a: If we add 360° years to 402 A.D. (sun in Sagittarius) we come to 762 A.D. when Al Mansour laid the foundation of the new capital at Baghdad (back again to Sagittarius -- "horses ... on their heads ...CROWNS like gold" -- Rev. 9:7). If we subtract 7°-12° years from our solar reference point of 762 A.D., we come to 750-755 A.D. -- the bow in Sagittarius: Abbasids assumed control of the Islamic world from 750-937 A.D. and moved the capital to Baghdad Iraq. But Spain fell under the control of an escaped descendant of the Umayyad family -- a second caliph who landed in al-Andalus and created the "Golden Caliphate", Abd al-Rahman. He was recognized in Cordova Spain in 755 A.D. -- just as the bow of Sagittarius looks like TWO goat HORNS. Whenever we encounter TWO HORNS, a new caliphate begins. Then in 788 a new Idrisid Caliphate of Maghreb (Morocco) rebelled against the Arabian Caliphs and established an independent state corresponding to the lunar crescent horn near the tail of Sagittarius ("tails like scorpions" -- 9:10; 788-974 A.D.). Notice that the Moslem goat (Capricorn -- Dan. 8) now has THREE HORNS or CALIPHATES (Abbasid, Umayyad and Idrisid). The Fatimid Caliphate (909–1171) was founded in 909 as the higher of two HORNS of Taurus by the eleventh Imam Abdullah al-Mahdi Billah and spanned a large area of North Africa. If we add 150° years ("five months" -- Rev. 9:5) clockwise from 762, we arrive at 912 A.D. (gibbous MOON in Taurus) when Abd Ar Rahman III of the deposed Umayyad Dynasty, conquered Andalusia from the Abbasid Caliph and reigned (912-961). This was called the Cordoba Caliphate of Spain (912-1031 A.D.). This is the lower horn of Taurus -- 3° later. Notice also the BLACK CRESCENT horn and WHITE gibbous TURBAN crown horn on Taurus -- indicating a total of FOUR contemporary CALIPHATES (Abbisid, Idrisid, Fatimid and Cordoban or Umayyad). Notice also the image of TWO much larger, 150°, HORN CRESCENTS forming the timeline -- indicating the duration of the Moslem goat's empire. Adding the second "five months" (Rev. 9:10), we come to 1062 A.D. (Libra -- Fat Arab CRESCENT "weighed in the balances, and art found wanting" -- Dan. 5:27). Persian Buyids ruled Baghdad from 932 till 1062. Seljuks took over from 1062 till 1258. Chapter 9b: From 1062 A.D. (sun in Sagittarius -- "horses ... on their heads ...crowns like GOLD " -- Rev. 9:7) we add 391° years ("an hour, a day, a month and a year" -- Rev. 9:15) to get 1453 A.D. (lunar crescents in Capricorn -- "four HORNS of the GOLDEN altar" -- Rev. 9:13). On April 27, 1062, Turkish leader Togrul Beg married the Caliph's daughter establishing himself in Islam. He died the same year and was succeeded by Alp Arslan who crossed the Euphrates at the head of the Turkish cavalry (Gibbon ch. 57, p.12). On May 29, 1453 A.D., the Turks conquered Constantinople. At least three more 391-year periods had their fulfillment before the Ottoman Empire ended. Chapter 10: On the 26th of May, just days before Constantinople fell (29th May) in 1453, Greek scholars fled west with illuminating Bible manuscripts -- like a Greek Olympic TORCH held by Orion giving light, making the Bible available to Europe and causing the Renaissance and Protestant Reformation. From 1453 A.D. (Orion -- "mighty angel ... his face as ... the SUN" -- Rev. 10:1) we add 180° years to arrive at 1633 when the Papacy condemned Galileo for believing the earth rotated and revolved around the sun (FULL MOON pendulum attached to Scorpio's stinger proves Galileo right and therefore SEALS "up those things which the seven thunders uttered" -- 10:4) (seven-segmented Scorpio stinger -- 1 Cor. 15:56). By 1483 Caxton published the earliest verses of the Bible to be printed in English. Chapter 11: Luther was born 1483 and Zwingli born 1484. From 1483-4 A.D. (sun in Gemini: "two witnesses ... FIRE proceedeth out of their mouth" -- 11:3-5) + 30° years, equals the 5th of May, 1514 when "the beast (Leo) ... shall ... kill them" (burned at the red radius stake in the sun in Leo -- nothing is left of them) when the ninth session council orator officially declared: "Now no one contradicts, no one opposes." Adding 3 1/2 years (11:11), we arrive at 31st Oct, 1517 when Luther posted his 95 theses to the golden Wittenburg Church doors in Germany, defying Papal Rome and inaugurating the Reformation (sun pumpkin in black cat Leo). After 3 1/2 rotations, Gemini goes from prostrate to right-side up. Pope LEO X excommunicated Luther in 1521. William Tyndale met with other reformers in the White Horse Tavern exactly 3 1/2 years (11:11) from 1517 (SUN in Gemini) in 1521 when the FULL MOON door swung open in the Sagittarius White Horse Tavern. The same "hour" (1517 + 30 degree-years = within 1547), a tenth of the city or 36 degrees of Virgo's 43-degree length, fell beneath the horizon (11:13) symbolizing Papal loss of Protestant England in 1534 with the Act of Supremacy. Henry VIII declared himself head of the English church in 1535 and thus "shut (papal) heaven" (11:6). He expropriated minor monasteries and ordered the Bible placed in every church (1536). England has 36 counties. The remaining seven degrees of Virgo represent papal loss of "seven" (11:13) provinces of Protestant Holland in stages beginning in 1548. If we add 1260° months (11:3) to 1483 (105 years), we arrive at 1587 when Mary Queen of Scots was beheaded; in 1587 Francis Drake also sailed into a crowded Cadiz harbor and destroyed some 30 Spanish ships; and 1588 when the Spanish Armada was defeated (FULL MOON cannonball in Sagittarius: "temple of God was OPENED in heaven ... and there was seen the ark (Argo -- British Navy) -- Rev. 11:19). "The horse and his rider (Sagittarius) hath he thrown into the sea ... they sank ... as a stone ... as lead" (Ex. 15:1-10). (5.) Chapter 12: In 34 A.D. Stephen was stoned (Acts 7:59) "to end a (490-year) vision and a prophet" (Dan. 9:24) + 280 years (nine months' pregnancy [270] plus "ten days" [10] labor pains of Diocletian's persecution -- Isa. 13:8; Matt. 24:8; 1 Th. 5:3; Rev. 2:10) = 313 A.D. (Virgo: "woman clothed with the sun ... brought forth a man child...to rule all nations with a rod of iron" -- Rev. 12:1-5) when Constantine became emperor of Rome and legalized "Christianity" by the Edict of Milan + 293 degree-years = 606 A.D. when Emperor Phocas gave Pope Boniface III supremacy over other churches (eclipse in Cancer: "ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns" -- Rev. 13:1). Also from the sun in Virgo (12:1) 313 + 17° years ("MOON under her [Virgo's] feet" -- 12:1) = 330 when Constantine stole the treasures and statues of the PAGAN temples in Greece to decorate New Rome (Constantinople) and dedicated Constantinople and prohibited PAGAN rites in his new capital. The MOON symbolizes "RULERS of DARKNESS" (Eph. 6:12; Col. 1:13). Constantine put the "MOON under her feet" (12:1). Rome fell in 476 when Cetus began (2 Th. 2:7-8). Also 313 + 150° months = 325 A.D. (moon in Aquarius: "earth opened her mouth" -- 12:16) "when the enemy shall come in like a flood" (Isa. 59:19), the crescent-shaped moon-mouth under Virgo opened up gibbously at Aquarius (324-325) to swallow Licinius's army in 324 when Constantine defeated him at the Battles of Adrianople, Hellespont, and finally Chrysopolis on 18 September 324, and then shut him up within the walls of Byzantium (another open mouth) and executed him in 325 A.D. Notice a white lunar frown before, and a black lunar grin after. The earth opened her mouth in 318 A.D. also and swallowed up armies in burial GRAVES. (150° divided by 30 earth days = 5 lunar days + 313 = 318 A.D.). Constantine's son Crispus was leader in victorious military operations against Franks and Alemanni in 318, 320 and 323. Chapter 13: From 19 Feb 607 A.D. (eclipse in Cancer: "ten horns, and upon his horns ten CROWNS" -- 13:1; "mouth as a lion" -- 13:2) when Emperor Phocas gave Pope Boniface III supremacy over other churches + 331 degree-years = 937 A.D. (sun in Gemini: "FIRE ... from heaven ... in the sight of MEN" -- Rev. 13:13) when de facto Abbasid power in Baghdad ended, symbolized by the Caliph's bodyguard being massacred, who were the last body of troops (Gemini) still loyal to the Abbasid dynasty (937); and the NAHRAWAN Canal (Milky Way) being blocked and breached to flood the countryside to impede the advance of an army in 937-938. It heavily impaired local Baghdad agriculture for centuries to come and succeeded in destroying the agriculture of the region, hitherto the breadbasket of the Abbasid capital. Also local provinces refused to send (gold sun coin) tax revenues back to Baghdad (black Zodiac). Now 607 + 1260° years ("42 months" -- 13:5) = 1866-1867 A.D. (moon in Capricorn: "another beast...two horns...image [reflection] of the beast" -- 13:11-15) when the Battle of Sadowa occurred where Papal Austria was overthrown by non-Roman Catholic Prussia. Garibaldi overthrew the Papal Venetia in October 1866; and Italy crowned its first king, Victor Emmanuel in 1866. Also, Romania became independent of the Ottoman Empire in 1866 and Serbia became independent one year later. Also 607 + "42 months" (13:5) = 5 Oct 610 A.D. (moon in Capricorn: "another beast...two horns...image [reflection] of the beast" -- 13:11-15) when Emperor Phocas died. Also 607 + "42 months" that "power was given unto him [the pope] to continue" (13:5) = 1866-1867 A.D. when the Battle of Sadowa occurred where Papal Austria was overthrown by non-Roman Catholic Prussia. Garibaldi overthrew the Papal Venetia in October 1866; and Victor Emanuel allied himself with Prussia in 1866 and was rewarded with Venetia. Now 606 + "42 months" (13:5) = 1866-1867 A.D. when Romania became independent of the Ottoman Empire in 1866 and Serbia became independent one year later. Thus "power was given unto him (the sultan) to continue 42 months" (13:5) only.  (6.) Chapter 14: If we add "1600 furlongs" (years or degrees) (14:20) to 96 A.D., we arrive at the victory of Prince Eugene at the Battle of Zenta on 11 Sept. 1697, resulting in an end to Catholic-Moslem wars, and the Peace of Ryswick signed on 15th Sept. 1697 A.D. ending wars between Catholic and Protestant (SUN in Sagittarius -- "man, having on his head a golden CROWN, -- 14:14), as well as the British Anti-Catholic Settlement of 1697. Sagittarius also has "in his hand a ... (lunar) SICKLE" since Ottoman invaders of Hungary were routed at the Battle of Mohacs Aug. 12, 1687 and Venetians took Athens from the Turks on Sept. 28th, 1687. More importantly, on Sept. 26th, 1687 Amsterdam's city council voted to support William of Orange's invasion of England, which became the Glorious Revolution. Adding 57° years to 1697 we come to 1754 (SUN in Aquarius: "one of the four beasts gave ... seven GOLDEN CUPS" -- 15:7) when Louis XVI was born -- last king of France. Adding 180° to 1697 brings us to 1712° months (Lyra) or 1871-2 lunar° years (Cygnus) or 1874-5 prophetic° years (Aquila) or 1877 solar° years (Sagittarius) (FULL MOON in Gemini: "GRAPES ... FULLY RIPE" 14:19). The Milky Way vine "trodden" by Gemini can be either the Moslem or Roman Catholic vine. Therefore, the red GRAPE under Gemini is the Battle of Vilmergen in 1712 or Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71 -- both Catholic defeats; or the 1875-1877 Herzegovina Uprising against the Ottoman Empire or the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878 -- both Moslem defeats. Adding 180° to 1754, we arrive at 1769° months (Lyra) or 1928-9 lunar° years (Cygnus) or 1931-2 prophetic° years (Aquila) or 1934 solar° years (Sagittarius) (FULL MOON in Leo: "GRAPES ... FULLY RIPE" -- 14:19). The Hydra vine "trodden" by Leo can be either the Moslem or Roman Catholic vine. Therefore, the red grape under Leo is the Russo-Turkish War from 1768 to 1774 or the Battle of Sabilla (1929), Kufra (1931), Kashgar (1933) or the First and Second Battles of Urumqi (1933-34) -- all Muslim defeats -- "and blood came out of the winepress" (14:20). Chapter 15: If we include Louis XVI's life from 1754 till he summoned the Estates-General in 1789 and gave these angry Frenchmen power (sun in Aquarius -- "one of the four beasts gave ...seven golden CUPS full of the wrath of God" -- Rev. 15:7) and add 129° years, we arrive at 1883-1918 A.D. (Gemini --"scorch men with FIRE" -- Rev. 16:8) from when the Triple Alliance was signed (1883) till the end of World War One (1918). This lower class of Frenchmen convened in the Salle des États in Versailles on 5 May 1789, ("temple ...of the testimony in heaven [government] was opened" -- 15:5) (gibbous moon-door opened for Girondins and Jacobins -- together as Gemini) till 1799 A.D. (120° months of Gemini moon) when Napoleon overthrew the Directory and became military dictator for 15 years. Chapter 16: 1789 A.D. (sun in Aquarius: "one of the four beasts [Aquarius] gave...seven golden CUPS full of the wrath of God" -- 15:7) + 129° years = 1918 A.D. (sun in Gemini: "scorch men with FIRE " -- 16:8). 1789 + 120° months = 1799 (moon in Gemini which looks like a guillotine blade falling: "upon the men" -- 16:2). The French Revolution's SORE from 1789-1799 was Catholics having their heads cut off. 1789 + 18° years = 1807 (sun in black Aquarius River that's not circulating.) which marked the last significant naval battle called Battle of Copenhagen: British seized the neutral Dano-Norwegian fleet so it couldn't be used against Britain. 1789 + 6° years = 1795 (Jupiter in black Aquarius River that's not circulating). Napoleon's Revolutionary Wars were waged from 1795 till 1815 against the Roman Catholic ruling classes of other nations. 1789 + 17° years = 1806 (Venus in Pisces). Emperor [sun] of Austria abdicated (Cetus captured by fish). Notice that Cepheus is now behind bars which are heads on pikes. 1918 - 120° years = 1798 (Mars in Pisces). French army captured Rome and Pope arrested and taken away (Cetus tied to fish and pulled). 1918 - 92° years = 1826 (Saturn in Pisces). The Sultan massacred the Janizzaries (Cetus skewered). 1918 - 7° years = 1911 (Mercury neck collar for guillotine in Gemini). The first use of the plane in war was the Italian-Turkish War in 1911. Cetus represents the return to the status quo after 1815. Three vomited frogs or three World Wars (16:13-16), occur in 60 years (two laps around the Zodiac): From the first frog till the second frog is 360° months or 30 years which brings us from the Kaiser's beginning in 1914 till Hitler's end in 1945 (16:13). The "whole world" implies World War. Then finally the Viet Nam War which ended in 1975. It should have been called World War Three. Both World War One and Two were Papal attempts to reverse (REGURGITATE) the FRENCH Revolution and conquer FRANCE. The Viet Nam War was similar -- a Papal attempt to conquer FRENCH Indo-China (mostly Buddhist) and make it Catholic. (7.) Chapter 17: Garibaldi overthrew the temporal power of the Papal States in 1866-1870 A.D. and they incorporated into the Italian Kingdom of Victor Emmanuel who entered Rome 20 Sept. 1870, exactly 1260 years or "42 months" (Rev. 13:5) after 606-610 A.D. (sun in Cancer: "ten horns...burn her with FIRE" -- 17:16) + 130° years = 11 Sept. 2001 (sun in Ophiuchus-Hercules) when the World Trade Center's Twin Towers were both hit on September 11, within "one hour" of eachother (18:10), and fell (Hercules -- "angel come down ... having great power, and the earth was made BRIGHT with his GLORY" --Rev. 18:1). 1870 - 288° years = 1582 (crescent in Virgo: "golden CUP in her hand" -- 17:4) when the Gregorian Calendar was adopted setting the arbitrary date for "Easter." Also 20 Sept. 1870 (sun in Cancer) - 287° days = 8 December 1869 (crescent in Virgo: "golden CUP in her hand" -- 17:4) when the First Vatican Council convened defining "Papal Infallibility." Since that council did not formally close till 1960, other "abominations and filthiness" discussed at the Vatican could be included in the golden cup. Chapter 18: 20th Sept. 1870 (sun in Cancer: "ten horns...burn her with FIRE" -- 17:16) Rome captured by Italian King Victor Emmanuel II. If we add 130° years to 1870, we come to 11th Sept. 2001 A.D. when the World Trade Center's Twin Towers were both hit on September 11, within "one hour" of eachother, and fell (SUN in Ophiuchus-Hercules -- "angel come down ... having great power ... earth was made BRIGHT with his GLORY" --18:1). Adding 180° months = 11 Sep 2015 (MOON in Taurus: "a mighty angel took up a STONE...and cast it into the sea" -- 18:21) when a crane collapsed in Meccah + 492° days = red radius lunar trumpet on first full day of Trump's presidency -- 21 Jan 2017. One year later (19 Jan 2018) the border wall is on the table in Congress. This is the first bar of the bird cage or rope around Virgo. If we add 300° months to 11 Sep 2001 = 2026 (MOON in Virgo: "in the [LUNAR] CUP which she hath filled, fill to her double" -- 18:6) at the return of our Lord and Savior, Islamistan and Aztlan (composing what was formerly the U.S.) will be "thrown down"? Chapter 19: If we add 25° years to 2001, we arrive at "Great Trumpet" (Matt. 24:31) of Yom Kippur, 2026 A.D. -- the VISIBLE Second Coming of our Lord, WITH his saints (SUN in Sagittarius -- "His eyes were like a flame of FIRE " -- 19:12). He chains and seals Satan the same day (SUN & MOON in Cetus: "set a SEAL upon him" Satan -- 20:3). But the actual SECRET rapture "FOR his bride" on the LONG BLAST of the "last trump" of the Feast of Trumpets (CRESCENT in Sagittarius -- "out of his mouth goeth a sharp SWORD " -- 19:15) may occur on 4 Jan 2024 instead. The "gathering together" comes right after the man of sin is revealed (2 Th. 2:3) (Abomination) which means a mid-trib rapture. "The Son of Man will come (secretly) when LEAST expected" (Matt. 24:44; Luke 12:40) -- not on Rosh HaShanah. The two witnesses (Gemini) ascend "up to heaven in a (lunar) cloud" (Rev. 11:2) three-and-a-half years after they begin testifying (Rev. 11:3). Notice that the (red radius) "rod of iron" (19:15) is also a LONG red TRUMPET. Just as Constantine's coming put an end to persecution against Christians, so Christ's coming will put an end to persecution against Christians. "Birth pangs" begin (Rev. 2:10; 1 Th. 5:3). Furthermore, 4 Jan 2024 (moon-door opens for five wise virgins: "heaven OPENED " -- 19:11) when Yeshua may graciously resurrect "we which are alive" (1 Th 4:17) to become immortal. But this LUNAR DOOR CLOSES in 2026 when Christ "shutteth and no man openeth" (Yom Kippur) (Rev. 3:7). Adding 335 days to Yom Kippur 2026, our Lord will defeat this world's hostile armies on Sept. 21, 2027 (Ophiuchus -- "angel standing in the SUN " -- 19:17). Chapter 20: If we add 1000° years to 2026 A.D. (+ 360° + 360° + 280°), we arrive at 3026 A.D. when Satan is released again to deceive Gog and Magog (sun in Gemini: "FIRE came down ... and devoured" Gog and Magog -- 20:9). The 12 moons are "THRONES" (20:4) and "BOOKS" (20:12) in 30-degree intervals which may indicate the right to a "speedy trial" or regular Bible study every lunar day or month. (counter-clockwise indicates a pole-shift has taken place in 2026 -- Isa. 24:1) Chapters 21 & 22: "No need of the SUN " means no time anymore; everything is eternal so it is ECLIPSED. "I will give to him that is athirst of the water fountain of life freely" (21:6), so there are twelve LUNAR CUPS. The "lake which burneth with FIRE " (21:8) is an ECLIPSE opposite the lamb. The "twelve GATES were twelve (LUNAR) PEARLS" (21:12, 21) that wax and wane as they open and close. "The lamb is the (FULL MOON) LIGHT of it" (21:23). Also "twelve kinds of (LUNAR) FRUITS " (22:2) and "her (Virgo) LIGHT was like a most precious jasper STONE (amber fire orange cp. Rev. 4:3 & Ez. 1:27) in the form of a gold wedding RING or gold CROWN -- solar corona laid at her feet).

• Tail -- false prophet. "The "prophet that teaches lies, he is the tail" (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)
• Tithing -- The first ten percent of your increase is the Lord's. Otherwise you're a thief (Mal. 3:8).
• Tongue -- Language / Speech (Exodus 4:10)
• Time -- 360-Day-Year (Daniel 4:16, 23, 25, 32; 7:25; Daniel 11:13 margin); Times -- 720 Days (Daniel 7:25, Revelation 12:6, 14; 13:5)
• Trumpet -- alarm; loud warning of God's approach (Exodus 19:16-17, Joshua 6:4-5; Joel 2:1)
• Thief -- Sudden, secret rapture coming to "steal" his bride (1 Thessalonians 5:2-4, 2 Peter 3:10); "taken" (Matt. 24:40-41)
• Thorns / Thorny Ground -- Cares of this life (Mark 4:18-19)
• Tables of the Covenant -- Ten Commandments (Deut. 9:9,11)
• Truth -- God's Word (John 17:17); "thy law is the truth" (Ps. 119:142); "he shall judge the world in righteousness, and the people with his truth" (Ps. 96:13). "the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day" (John 12:48).
• "Thigh" -- Euphemism for the PENIS by Bible translators. It was the universal custom for anyone making a vow to place his hand upon either his own sexual member or upon that of the other person concerned. No higher testimony could be given or asked than the PENIS, the representative of Yahweh. Thus when Abraham asked his servant to swear to him, he said: "Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh: and I will make thee swear by the Lord, the God of heaven, and the God of earth" (Gen. 24:2). Another instance is "And the time drew nigh that Israel must die; and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him, if now I have found grace in thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me" (Gen. 47:29). And in Lamenations we read: "We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians to be satisfied with bread" (Lam. 5:6). God himself reviles Pharaoh for breaking the covenant when "he had given his hand" (Ez. 17:18); and when Solomon was made king of Israel "all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons likewise of King David, submitted themselves unto Solomon the king" (1 Chr. 29:24) which should instead read, "gave the hand under Solomon". The ancient Egyptians adopted a similar practice, the individual taking an oath grasping his own PHALLUS. We have also the account concerning the engagement, by Tyndarus, of the suitors of Helen to avenge her, in which he is said to have compelled them to swear upon a horse's testicles. A similar method of taking the oath persists to this day among the Arabs, the testator placing his hand upon hix own sexual organ.
• Tree of Life -- Obedience to the Bible (Rev. 22:14)
• Thule -- Servius writes that Thule lies to the north-west of Britain, towards the Orknies and Ireland, and enjoys continual day-light, when the sun is in cancer (Geor. 1): this exactly determines Thule to be Iceland. Bochart shows that Thule is Syriac for Umbrae; so named from the long nights in winter; whence Statius says, "Nigrae Littora Thules" (Sylv). Pliny tells us that according to Pytheas, night lasted six months at Thule, an island six days' sailing northward from Britain, and within one day's sailing from the Frozen sea (2:75; 4:16).
• Temple -- assembly of believers (1 Cor. 3:9,16; 6:19). In 2 Corinthians 6:16 we read, "And what agreement hath the naos (temple) of God with idols? for ye are the naos (temple) of God." Ephesians 2:19-21 says, "Ye are ... the household of God; and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone; in whom all the building ... groweth unto an holy naos (temple) in the Lord." First Corinthians 3:16-17 says, "Know ye not that ye are the naos (or temple) of God ... If any man defile the naos (temple) of God, him shall God destroy: for the naos (temple) of God is holy, which naos (temple) ye are." The "man of sin ... sitteth in the naos (temple) of God, showing himself that he is God." (2 Th. 2:3-4). 
• Tabernacle -- human body (2 Cor. 5:1)
• Transubstantiation -- Claiming to turn bread and wine into body and blood of Messiah. In St. Peter's in Rome, during the coronation of a new pope, he is carried up to the throne above the High Altar where the throne is built into the architecture. He sits literally "above that which is called God" since a consecrated host is placed on the High Altar. The priest actually claims to "create his Creator" through "transubstantiation."
• Toledoth -- Each section of Genesis which carries on the purpose of the book begins with the phrase "These are the generations of" (2:4; 5:1; 6:9; 10:1; 11:10; 11:27; etc). The word Toledoth ("generations") refers not to what goes before, but to what comes after. The toledoth of Abraham are those who sprang from him, not those from whom he sprang. In Ruth 4:18, the toledoth of Pharez are his descendants, not his ancestors. The choice of the line of blessing mankind is narrowed more and more. First it is Shem's, then Terah's, then Abraham's, then Isaac's, then Jacob's. All confess that the book was finished centuries before any indication that Israel had a blessing for gentiles. But we now know that every step in the selection of race was taken with absolute correctness. Christ came from this selection. Therefore "the toledoth of the heavens and the earth" (2:4) are not the origin of the heaven and earth; they are on the contrary, the things for which the heavens and earth were created, namely man and human history. The critics blunder. It's not a second account of Creation in reverse order at all. But a description of the origin of the garden of Eden which was created after Adam was formed. Every new section of the book begins with just such a recapitulation. Its never a mere repetition.
• 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-Worship -- "Shall I bow down to a tree trunk?" (Jer. 44:19) "When ye offer your gifts ... ye pollute yourselves with all your idols" (Ez. 20:31).  Thus saith the Eternal, Learn not the way of the heathen ... For the customs of the people are vain; for one cutteth a TREE out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They DECK it with SILVER and with GOLD; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. They are upright like the palm tree, but speak not" (Jer. 10:2-5). “Little children, keep yourselves from IDOLS” (1 John 5:21). “A CORRUPT TREE bringeth forth EVIL fruit” (Matt. 7:17). "Thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon ...The Lord has broken the rod of the wicked ... All the lands are at rest and at peace; they break into singing. Even the PINE TREES and the cedars of Lebanon exult over you and say, ' Now that you have been laid low, no woodsman comes to CUT US DOWN'" (Isa. 14:5-8).
• 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). The two olive trees of Romans 11 are Jews (good) and "Gentiles" (Greek Israelites -- wild) and thus Paul defined Rev. 11. "ISRAEL ... his beauty shall be like the OLIVE TREE" (Hos. 14:6). "The Eternal called thy name, A green OLIVE TREE... house of ISRAEL and ... house of JUDAH" (Jer. 11:16; see also Zechariah 4:3,11-14 and Romans 11). Isaiah 61:3 also mentions these "TREES of RIGHTEOUSNESS." 
• Turning the Other Cheek -- Not good: "For you tolerate it, if a man orders you around, takes what is yours, puts on airs of superiority or slaps you on the face" (2 Cor. 11:20). "Like a polluted fountain is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked" (Pr. 25:26). David slew Goliath (1 Sam. 17). Yet very good: "Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also (government official's right -- John 18:22-23; Acts 23:2-3). And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also (creditor with legal right -- Ex. 22:25-27). And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain (government soldiers and couriers had the right -- Luke 23:26). Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away" (beggars' rights in seventh year release -- Deut. 15:1-9) (Matt. 5:38-42).  By being kind to your enemy, you heap coals of fire (shame) on his head (Pr. 25:22; Rom. 12:20) and goodness is meant to lead him to repentance (Rom. 2:4). "For Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps" (1 Pet. 2:21). "As a sheep before his shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth" (Isa. 53:7). "Why do you not rather take wrong? Why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded" (1 Cor. 6:7). "Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense" (Pr. 19:11). It depends on whether you're dealing with a LEGITIMATE RIGHT or just an EVIL BULLY.
• Tammuz -- How do we know Tammuz is the same person as Mizraim? ("My brother Timmy" -- Chariots of Fire)
1. Ta-Miz (Tammuz) or Da-Miz (Dumuzi) is composed of two words. "Miz" which is short for Mizraim; and "Ta" or "Da" which is the Egyptian equivalent of "Theos" of the Greek or "Deus" of the Latin. It is a verb meaning "to give." Thammuz is the Hebrew name of Adonis, or Osiris, or Menes.
2."Osiris (Mizraim) ... was killed by Typhon (Shem) his brother ... who ... divided the body into twenty-six parts ... Isis... wife of Osiris, avenged the murder ... having slain Typhon (Shem) ... became queen of Egypt ... found all except one part of the body of Osiris ... and gave them to the priests throughout all Egypt to be worshipped." (p.59, Eusebius, Prep. For Gospel) Another account reads: "Set (Shem), the brother of Osiris (Mizraim), rebelled against him and cut his body in pieces" (Rawlinson's Egypt and Babylon). A third account reads, "When the false prophet named Thammuz preached to a certain king that he should WORSHIP the seven STARS and the twelve SIGNS of the ZODIAC, that king ordered him to be put to a terrible death ... And hence arose the custom every year, on the first day of the month Thammuz, to mourn and to weep for Thammuz" (Maimonides, More Nevochim, p. 426). Therefore Tammuz is Osiris (Mizraim).
3. Notice parallel accounts: Just as Typhon overcame Osiris "NOT BY FORCE OR OPEN WAR" (Wilkinson's Egyptians 4:330-332), so also Manetho wrote, "There was a king of ours whose name was Timaus (Thammuz -- Cumberland's Sanchoniathon, p. 359-360; Theta and tau are letters easily exchanged in Greek.). Under him it came to pass ... men ... our country ... with ease subdued ... YET WITHOUT OUR HAZARDING A BATTLE WITH THEM. So when they had gotten those who governed us (Tammuz) under their power, they afterwards burned down our cities and demolished the temples of the (false) gods (cp. Num. 33:52; Deut. 7:5, 25-26), and used all the inhabitants in a most barbarous manner, nay, some they slew and led their children and wives into slavery. At length they made one of themselves king, whose name was Salatis (or Saites or Shem -- first king of 15th Dynasty) (Manetho, from Josephus, Contr. Apion 1:14-15)
4. Ham was also called Thammuz. This is not unusual. Ham and Phut were both called Belus as a title (Praep. Evang. 9:17 p.419). Wilkinson says that the different gods "take eachother's characters and attribues" (pp.9-10, Egyptians). Eusebius well says, "It must be confessed the ancient writers have very much confounded these ancient names with one another." In addition to titles of office used successively, this may be due partly to the custom among the ancients of speaking of all the direct descendants of an important person as his SONS. Also, the word BROTHER was anciently used to describe all parallel branches of a family. For instance Typhon (Shem) was called the BROTHER of Osiris (Nimrod) (Lempriere).  
• Thoth -- How do we know Thoth and Cush are the same person?
1. Hyginnus says, "for many ages men lived ... all speaking one language. But after Mercury interpreted (divided) the speeches of men ... the same individual distributed the nations. Then discord began" (Fab 143 p.114). We know Cush created "CHAOS" at the Tower of Babel (Gen. 10:8-10 & 11:9), hence his name came to mean "CHAOS". Janus, father of the gods, says, "the ancients called me CHAOS" (Ovid Fasti 1:104). "Bel (Cush) is CHAOTIC" (Jer. 1:2). But who was Mercury? "Tautus was called Hermes" (Mercury) -- Sanchoniathon. "Hermes" actually means "son of Ham" -- Cush. On the reverse of an Etruscan medal of Janus a club is shown, and the name of the club in Chaldee is derived from the word which signifies to 'break in pieces" or "scatter abroad" (Hislop, p. 27 note) implying Janus was the cause of the human race being scattered abroad.
2. Humboldt says, "Woden of the Chiapenese (Mexicans) was the GRANDSON of that illustrious old man, who at the time of the great Deluge in which the greater part of the human race perished, was saved on a raft together with his family. Wodan cooperated in the construction of the great edifice which had been undertaken by men to reach the skies; the execution of this rash project was interrupted; each family received from that time a different language; and the great spirit Teotl ordered Wodan to go and people the country of Anahuac (Mexico)." (Humboldt Mex. Res. 1:320 p.134). Cush was Wodan who was ringleader in building the Tower of Babel. Hermes ("son of Ham" --Cush) in Greece was worshipped as Odin in Scandinavia; and Woden in Mexico (Buddha in Tamul is Poden; P & W are identical in Sanscrit). In Mexico, human sacrifices were offered to a god with negro features called Wodan (Prescott's Conquest of Mexico 3:6, p.168). Woden's Day in Germany is Buddha's Day (Boodwar) in China or Mercury's Day (Mercredi) in France. Buddha's triratna is Mercury's caduceus. Tacitus says Woden was Mercury (Germ. 9) The star Mercury is called "Buddha" by the Hindus (Asiat. Res. 1:162). The mother of Mercury was Maia (Lempriere Mercury) and this was also Buddha's mother's name. Bel was called "All-Wise" (Rawl. Herod. 1:599-600) just as Buddha means "All-Wise". Buddha had a wide nose, thick lips and wooly hair. He was a negro called Cush (Gen. 10:6-8). "Hermes or Thoth (was) an Ethiopian" (Cushite) (Diod. Sic.). Hermes was called Tautus or Thoth in Egypt (Philo's intro to Caesarea's Praep.); Mercury in Rome; Gothic Tuisto or Teut in Germany (Lucan Pharsal. 1:444-6); and "Teutates" by the Gauls (Lactant. Instit. 1:21); "Tautus was called Hermes" (Mercury) -- Sanchoniathon. Herodotus refers to the mummification of ibises, Thoth's sacred bird, in Hermopolis, the city of Hermes (2:66).
• Typhon -- How do we know Shem was Typhon?
1. "Osiris (Mizraim)... was killed by Typhon (Shem) his brother ... who ... divided the body into twenty-six parts ... Isis ... wife of Osiris, avenged the murder ... having slain Typhon (Shem) ... became queen of Egypt ... found all except one part of the body of Osiris ... and gave them to the priests throughout all Egypt to be worshipped." (p.59, Eusebius, Prep. For Gospel)
2. The Sibylline Oracles speak of Cronus, Japetus and Titan as the three sons of Noah (Cory, p.52). Also, the principal Titans are said to be "Saturn" (Ham) "Japetus" and "Typheus" (Lempriere, art. Titanes).
3. Typho was called Seth (Epiphanius, Adv. Haeres., book 3). Plutarch (de Isid. et Osir. p.367, 371 & 376) gives to Typhon the titles of "Seth" and "Smy", and the latter in Greek would be "Smu" which is evidently the same as "Semu" (Wilkinson's Egyptians 3:138). Shem was also known as "Sheth" (Num. 24:17). The first king of the 15th Dynasty was Saites. The Hyksos fortified a town called Avaris (aka Typhonius) located in the Nomus Saites (Josephus) or Nomus Sethroites (Africanus) (Against Apion 1:14) where Seth-Typhon was worshipped. Both Seth and Shem are synonymous and mean "the appointed one" (p.65, Hislop).
4. Sydyc (Melchizedek -- p. 47. Sanchoniathon) lived at the same time period as Shem. When Typhon was subsequently conquered, he fled away and begat Hierosolymus and Judaeus (Plutarch De Iside, S. 31; Cumberland's Sanchoniathon, p.108). "Adonizedek king of Jerusalem, the same was Shem" (Jasher 16:11).
5. Manetho says Menes (Osiris) was killed by a Hippopotamus (Cory, p. 94). "At Hermopolis they point out a statue of Typhon in the form of an hippopotamus" (Plutarch Isis & Osiris, 50:1), so just substitute Typhon (Shem) for the hippo and there is no contradiction.

• Unicorn -- "a wild ox" (Num. 24:8). The Septuagint has unicorn for Reem. The Vulgate has rhinoceros for Reem. Arabs call a large species of elk Reem.
• Ursa Major -- "Can you guide the Great Bear (Aysh) and her cubs?" (Job 38:32). The ancient Jewish commentators on the book of Job say that Ash is the seven stars of the Great Bear. But the Arabs still call this constellation Al Naish or Annaish, the assembled together, as sheep in a fold. In the three stars miscalled the tail, where we find the name Benetnaish, there is also Mizar a guarded or enclosed place. Another name is Alioth, the ewe or she-goat, near which is the star Al Cor, the lamb, in Arabic also Seya, the lamb. Other names in this constellation , El Acola, also is a fold. Phacad is a watched or guarded place. Dubhe in Hebrew is a she-bear. But in Arabic Dubah is cattle, and in Hebrew Daber is a fold. In the Egyptian planisphere there is no figure of a bear. The Persian and Indian spheres have no picture of a bear either, but instead have three maidens, no doubt the three daughters of Ash. The flock is the Lord's church
• 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: eating pork, ham, bacon, clams, crabs, shrimp, fat or blood; masturbating for men and refusing to practice Niddah (separation & bathing after menstruation every 28 days) for women. Even petting dogs. Shaking hands. Getting married to an unconverted woman (no Niddah).
• Usury -- "If thou lend money to any of MY PEOPLE that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an USURER, neither shalt thou lay upon him USURY" (Ex. 22:25). "Take thou no USURY of him, or INCREASE: but fear thy God; that thy BROTHER (torah-keeper -- Mark 3:35) may live with thee" (Lev. 25:36). "Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? ... He that putteth not out his money to USURY" (Ps. 15:1-5). Ezekiel 18:13 speaks of one who "Hath given forth upon USURY, and hath taken INCREASE: shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him." Deuteronomy 23:19 says, "Thou shalt not lend upon USURY to thy BROTHER (torah-keeper -- Mark 3:35); USURY of money, USURY of victuals, USURY of any thing that is lent upon USURY." Even 1% INTEREST is forbidden (Neh. 5:7-11)."The BORROWER is servant to the lender" (Pr. 22:7). "He that by USURY and UNJUST GAIN increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor" (Pr. 28:8). "Unto a STRANGER (Heb. "nokri" -- wicked enemy nation who disobeys the torah) thou mayest lend upon USURY; but unto thy BROTHER (torah-keeper -- Mark 3:35) thou shalt not lend upon USURY: that the Lord thy God may bless thee" (Deut. 23:20). "Also thou shalt NOT OPPRESS a STRANGER (Heb. "ger" -- sojourner in Israel who obeys the torah): for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt" (Ex. 23:9). "Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the STRANGER (no USURY for torah-keeper), as for one of your own country (no USURY for torah-keeper): for I am the Lord your God" (Lev. 24:22) "And if thy BROTHER be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a STRANGER, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee. Take thou no USURY of him, or INCREASE: but fear thy God; that thy BROTHER (torah-keeper -- Mark 3:35) may live with thee. Thou shalt not give him thy money upon USURY, nor lend him thy victuals for INCREASE" (Lev. 25:35-37). But Christians quote Matthew 25:27 to justify USURY. The way it should be understood, the servant says, "I know you're a covetous crook, reaping the harvest of others. So I played it safe and hid your money." The way it should be understood, his master says, "Since that is what you believe, why didn't you put my money in the bank and obtain more DISHONEST GAIN for me through INTEREST?" Far from justifying usury, this parable actually condemns it (cp. Luke 19:11-27). The Parables of the Talents doesn't reverse the Old Testament condemnation of interest. While the master chastises the lazy servant for burying his talent, and unfavourably compares this with putting the money out at interest, he judges the servant ‘by his own words’. If the servant had truly believed that his master was a ‘hard man’, then he should have put the money out at interest, since this is what would be expected. Receiving interest is ‘reaping where one has not sown’ – it is what hard men do (Luke 19:22, 23). There is a clear distinction between risking money actively in a business venture and putting it on deposit at interest – reaping where one has not sown.

• Vineyard -- Church that should bear fruit (Luke 20:9-16); house of Israel (Isa. 5:7)
• Veil -- A veil was the distinguishing mark of a married woman (Gen. 24:65). Thus Abimelech reproved Sarah for going without a veil (pretending to be Abraham's sister) by saying, "I have given thy BROTHER one thousand pieces of silver, Behold it is to (buy) thee a COVERING OF THE EYES (a veil to protect the face from wanton lust), unto all that are with thee and with all other: thus she was reproved" (Gen. 20:16). The veil was so she should not desire to be looked at by any other, or to look at any other man. But there is no rigid requirement that this verse refer to a veil since Jacob said of Esau, “I will appease him,” (Gen. 32:20) lit. “COVER HIS FACE” without reference to any veil. And Job 9:24 says, “he COVERETH THE FACES of the judges” (using money not a veil); and 1 Samuel 12:3 says, “of whose hand have I taken a ransom to BLIND MINE EYES therewith”(using money not a veil).
• Vegetarianism -- Is it Biblical to avoid meat? God gave Adam dominion over fish, fowl cattle and creeping thing (Gen. 1:26). What purpose is dominion without being able to eat these animals? Abel was a keeper of sheep (Gen. 6:11-13) and "Jabal was the father of ... such as have cattle" (Gen. 4:20). Of what use are cattle and sheep if not for food? "Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you" (Gen. 9:3) God said to Noah. Noah's dominion may have been a repeat of Adam's dominion with an added "into your hand are they delivered" (Gen. 9:1-2). Before Adam was expelled from the Garden, however, he and Eve may have been vegetarian. Notice that in the Millenium, "They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain" (Isa. 11:9) which seems to be a restoration of the way it was originally. No killing of animals.
• 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)
• Venom -- False criticism (Rom. 3:13); cursing and bitterness under their lips (Ps. 140:3); bitter words (Ps. 64:3-8).
• Voting -- "Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you" (Deut. 1:13). Josephus adds that Jethro advised him to choose such persons as the whole multitude have tried and do approve of. "Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king" (1 Chr. 29:23). Humans are substituting for God.
