A Brief History of Space and Time
Is the International Space Station a Modern Day Tower of Babel?
Most of us grew up learning the same prescribed history of the Earth and humanity.
This history lesson is essentially a simple listing of dates and events.
Modern History
And that brings us to today. That’s it!
A neat little accounting of everything, devoid of any real meaning or compelling narrative connecting events.
Oh, and there are 7 other planets besides Earth. There used to be 8 when we were kids but we were wrong about one of them for a century so now there’s 7.
Most of this history has been determined in the last 100 years. While it is all verifiable, certainly - the narrative of human history was largely written down for us in this way in the 19th and 20th centuries.
We are told that humans evolved from happenstance.
From apes.
We are told that we are evolving. That we are advancing.
We are told that our history is one dictated by survival of the fittest - and we are the fittest.
We are the best and brightest specimen of human the Earth has ever seen.
What if that’s not true?
***
History isn’t a simple factual listing.
It’s a story.
It’s a story of all of us, and everything we know about where we came from.
It’s a political narrative.
Who wrote the story we have been told?
And what if it’s inaccurate?
Not simply an accident of playing telephone through the ages.
But a deliberate deception to distract us from our true origins.
The real history of the world is not simply a list of Darwinistic dates and events.
The real history of the world is the history of human religious beliefs.
A battle between polytheism and monotheism which has underscored the rise and fall of empires, the details washed away through the millennia.
Our real history is a battle of the gods.
Ancient History
The oldest written record of human origins is the Holy Bible.
In contrast to the secular worldview, the Bible tells another story of the Earth and humankind’s origins. In a literal interpretation, you can construct a timeline back to the Garden of Eden using the genealogy and ages listed in the Old Testament, as follows:
This account was first written around 1500 BC, by Moses as told by God.
This kind of history compels an accompanying narrative.
Creation
Until very recently, pretty much all of humankind readily accepted that there exists a spiritual world that has influence over us.
While the secular record insists the word of God is not literally accurate - its evidence actually supports the biblical chronology. The secular historical record and the biblical historical record align quite nicely. There’s even historical evidence for Moses.
The only major sticking points are carbon dating and dinosaurs.
But what if carbon dating is fallible, and the bones of the dinosaurs are actually the megafauna from the Garden of Eden? God said He created things fully formed, so if you dated them they’d look old - but that doesn’t mean they are. And while the Bible does not mention dinosaurs, it does make reference to a sea serpent, a behemoth, and dragons.
As well, God doesn’t create the sun until the fourth “day” - so we have no way of knowing how long those first three “days” were for God.
Now, there are several stark differences between this narrative and the more widely held modern view of world history:
It has a known narrator/historian, God.
It tells us that our world, Earth, was created with both a physical and a spiritual world, whose histories are intertwined
It sets in motion a narrative from the beginning that Earth and humankind are in the midst of a spiritual battle
But the main difference between this and the secular narrative is that this story tells us we were created with a purpose.
Earth was created to be a Garden for God, and humankind was created to be the Garden’s caretaker.
Then things took a left turn.
The Garden of Eden
It’s pretty easy to explain away the details of creation as the magic of God.
These concepts - the creation of earth, the sun, the moon, everything - are well beyond what humans can understand.
But when we get to the Garden of Eden, there are landmarks. There are physical descriptions. This is a real place.
The Garden of Eden is described as having a river that splits into four rivers - two of which are the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers.
This places the Garden of Eden in Mesopotamia, where human civilization first emerged.
If carbon dating is inaccurate, the Neanderthals and any other extinct species of human could easily be the original humans from the Garden of Eden and beyond - created fully formed.
The Fall of Mankind
Here’s where it gets tricky.
We don’t know exactly what happened in the Garden of Eden that caused the downfall of mankind.
We are told a story of a talking serpent deceiving Eve into eating fruit from the Tree of Knowledge.
On its face, this doesn’t seem like such an egregious transgression that it would result in cursing humans forever.
But when we analyze this contextually, we find a much more complex story.
What if it’s not about a piece of fruit - but instead about the fruit of Eve?
It is clear that there is a spiritual world that humans can’t fully see. This is described throughout the Bible, by a God who knows we can’t see him. It reminds me of the mantis shrimp who has 4 times the photoreceptors in its eyes and can therefore see a much larger spectrum of color than humans can see. We know things exist that we can’t see. We know humans are influenced by spiritual forces.
And God tells us he is not the only spiritual force we cannot see.
So anyway, a talking snake comes up to Eve and she thinks it’s totally normal, and she eats the fruit, and Adam does as well.
What we learn from this story is that in the Garden, there were other spiritual beings. We know God walked around in the Garden. We know angels walked around in the Garden. We know animals could talk.
We also know that this serpent is the craftiest creature God ever made.
God tells us that there were two trees in the Garden of Eden - the Tree of Life, and the Tree of Knowledge.
Adam and Eve were allowed to eat from every tree in the Garden, including the Tree of Life, which God says allows you to live forever.
God forbade them only from eating from the Tree of Knowledge, telling them that if they ate its fruit, they would die.
Adam and Eve were immortal.
And it would appear they didn’t procreate. They didn’t need to, if they were immortal.
But that all changed with the serpent.
After Eve and Adam eat the fruit, and God finds out, he curses the serpent first.
He says He will cause hostility between the snake’s offspring and Eve’s offspring.
He then turns to Eve, and her curse is around pain in pregnancy and giving birth - and this is the first time either of those things are mentioned, after the fall of man.
With Adam, God curses the ground, says he will struggle to scratch a living from the Earth, and tells him he will eventually return to the dust from whence he came. This is the first time death is mentioned for humans.
The entire curse of the fall of mankind is around the offspring of the serpent, reproduction for Eve, and death for Adam.
Humans did not have a lifecycle before the fall. They simply existed, perfect, immortal, gardeners, as created by God.
After the fall, as people began to multiply, the angels (“sons of God”) saw women (“daughters of men”) and procreated with them. In the Bible, these are called Nephilites, or giants, and they are referred to as the heroes and famous warriors of ancient times.
In this same passage, God says he observed the extent of human wickedness and was thoroughly disgusted.
It would appear that cross-breeding between the angels and humankind was not what God had planned. This is when he decides to flood the Earth, because he regrets his creation.
Because, ultimately, it was corrupted by the serpent.
There is roughly 1500 years of history between the Garden of Eden and the Great Flood that is summed up in the Bible in just a few pages and scattered references, and has spawned millennia of speculation.
But we can piece together a fairly complete picture of God’s opposition.
In the Book of Enoch, which is not included in the Bible as scripture but is considered to be deuterocanonical (a secondary source to the Bible), and which is referenced twice in the New Testament (so we know Jesus’ peers, authors of the Bible, considered this source valid), we learn this:
In the Garden of Eden, after Adam and Eve were created, God assigned angels to be the Watchers over mankind. A subgroup of these Watchers decided to defect from God and make an agreement with the humans in order to create their own hybrid beings who have their own dominion over the earth - usurping mankind’s dominion over the Earth as given by God.
In exchange for being granted human wives with whom they could procreate, the Watchers gave humans all manner of knowledge - including celestial and calendrical.
This account mirrors the fall of mankind in the Garden of Eden.
It would explain why God’s curse involves the offspring of the serpent and Eve, why Eve’s curse involves pregnancy and childbirth, and why Adam and humankind loses dominion over the Earth.
One wonders if Eve herself was the forbidden fruit.
It would also explain why God is so angry and disgusted.
He made a beautiful Garden, for Himself!, with immortal human gardeners, and one of his best and brightest angels corrupted it, created his own species made in his own image, and took an army with him.
A lot of people have a problem with the God of the Old Testament in particular.
He’s too vengeful.
He’s angry and unjust.
How can he justify killing so many people?
He doesn’t match up to Jesus’ personification of God in the New Testament.
Think about it this way:
Have you ever had a garden?
Have you ever done all the work to plan a garden - find the seeds, plant at the right time, wait for the sprouts, keep the critters out, fertilize as needed, and water just the right amount?
And have you ever woken up one day, and gone out to your garden to find that a bunch of critters ate up all of your plants?
Ok it’s like that, but in this case, the critters also bred with all your plants and made the plants work for them. So now you have a creepy hybrid garden of half-critter, half-plants, continually dividing itself with debauchery. And there’s a full root system! And it’s destroying the entire garden.
How are you going to fix this and start over?
It’s time to flood the Garden.
A Genetic Reset
After about 1500 years of God witnessing that every human inclination was consistently and totally evil, He is heartbroken, regrets His creation, and decides to wipeout mankind and every living being.
But He takes pity on a man called Noah, who He believes is the only righteous person on Earth.
When God becomes disgusted with the extent of human wickedness, He says His spirit cannot abide humans forever and in the future humans will only live to 120 years.
The earliest humans in the Garden of Eden lived to be nearly 1,000 years old. And these were peak humans - the very first human DNA ever created.
In this historical account of mankind’s creation and salvation after the Flood, God paints a picture that would suggest that we are not evolving - we are devolving. By design. By His design.
And secular science would confirm this as well, as it is an established and well-known fact that our genome is degrading. Our DNA only collects mutations as it goes on down the line, resulting in what is known as increasing mutational load.
If carbon dating is inaccurate, and if we are devolving as a species, and this is the true story of our origins - the large bones that archaeologists have found could easily be the original humans, giant animals (including dragons), and giant human-angel hybrids from the time period between humans getting kicked out of the Garden of Eden and the Great Flood.
A Spiritual Reset
Humans are not the only beings who get reset in the flood.
And Earth is not the only plane of God’s creation that gets a restructuring.
God clearly tells us that there is a spiritual world, that humans are very bad at engaging with it, and that we are susceptible to being tricked.
He left us alone for 5 minutes and we completely traded away our dominion and immortality.
For what? To learn the astrological and calendrical secrets of heaven? To birth giants and monsters? Can we get some magic beans, too?
And now God has to account for those beings who came of His creation, but were not His intended outcome. Because according to the Book of Jubilees, another deuterocanonical text, these giants and monsters were eating each other and the humans and doing all manner of unspeakable things to corrupt all of the animals on God’s green Earth.
If we look to the Book of Jubilees and the Book of Enoch, considered canonical to the New Testament authors, we can piece together the following story:
God has to deal with both the fallen angels, the rebellious Watchers, and their offspring, the giant nephilim, who together corrupted the Earth and exploited humankind.
God makes the Watchers watch as their children fight each other to the death, and leaves any remaining giants to die out in the flood.
According to Jubilees, 10% of the nephilim spirits were allowed to remain on Earth to torment humankind as demons, under the dominion of Satan.
And the fallen Watchers?
They were cast down to Tartarus - a special section of hell reserved for the fallen angels.
Enoch goes on to describe angels showing him around the earth, the heavens, and hell. They take him to a horrible place, a chaotic wilderness at the ends of the earth where he sees a deep abyss, with columns of fire.
He saw 7 stars like great burning mountains.
He saw angels binding stars and throwing them into the abyss.
The angel told Enoch, "This place is the end of heaven and earth. This has become a prison for the stars.”
The Book of Jude discusses this as well, these ungodly men who turn the grace of God into lewdness, and wandering stars for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.
What they called wandering stars in the Bible are the 7 planets we know today.
Between the Bible and the deuterocanonical texts that provide additional context, the planets are referred to as sentient entities who have rebelled from God and are imprisoned for 10,000 years for transgressing their own Torah from God.
This reset for humans and the fallen angels creates a chess board on which the two will play for the next 5000+ years.
And in order for humans to receive their inheritance - they will have to show loyalty to the one true God.
The Great Flood
If the Bible is true and chronologically accurate, when we get to about 2350 BC, give or take, we would see evidence the world over for a massive, worldwide flood that reached 20+ feet above the highest mountains in the world.
And that’s exactly what we see.
There is evidence on every continent for the Great Flood.
There are marine fossils on the top of Mount Everest.
The Grand Canyon was carved from water from the west, where the ocean is, not from the river that runs through it from the east.
There are areas all over the world where we see rapid burial of plants and animals from massive amounts of sediment and sand being deposited very quickly. The evidence shows tens of thousands of cubic miles of sand being deposited within the span of a few days.
The origin story of many indigenous people stems from a worldwide flood after which one man and one woman repopulated the world with their three sons and their wives.
This story, in some form, is found on every continent.
God saved Noah because he was righteous.
God also saved Noah’s wife and their three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, as well as their wives.
But not everyone on the ark was grateful to God for this salvation.
The fallen angels and nephilim used astronomy and divination and therefore knew their fate before it happened.
They were devastated.
It was said that in the time before the flood, humans had been taught celestial knowledge such that they brought down the sun, the moon, the stars, and the constellations.
Now I don’t know exactly what that means. The entire point of these stories as handed down to us by God is to make it very clear that this knowledge is dangerous for us because humans are bad at understanding and employing it, and we are not supposed to mess with God’s creation, we are supposed to submit to His created order.
We used this technology before and we messed up the Earth so badly that God had to reset the entire planet.
We’re not supposed to hijack the sun, the moon, the constellations.
But the fallen angels and their children had ruled the earth for over a thousand years, doing whatever they wanted, knowing everything about how to manipulate God’s celestial creation for their own will.
The Bible tells us that there were giant nephilim on the earth before the flood, and after.
Someone on the ark carried the bloodline of the giants into the new world.
And they brought the stories of their fallen gods, too.
Battle of the Gods
After 150 days of the entire world being submerged, the ark comes to a rest on (or near) Mount Ararat.
God sends a rainbow as a sign of his new covenant with mankind, and promises never to flood the world again.
The fallen angels are still alive and still exist, though are bound in chains in some section of hell.
Seven fallen angels, maybe the leaders of the Watchers, appear be the 7 planets (wandering stars) - now existing as burning, spinning, mountains (or pyramids) for 10,000 years.
The nephilim spirits exist on Earth, albeit just 10% of them, as demons working for Satan to torment humans.
And at least one person from the ark wants to continue using and spreading the knowledge that destroyed the Earth, because they were part of the ruling class.
They miss the old world.
They didn’t care that they were exploiting humankind.
They are devastated that all of their family, friends, peers, cities, everything they ever knew for hundreds of years is gone.
And they are very angry with God.
Tower of Babel
God tells Noah’s family to repopulate the earth.
“Be fruitful and multiply.”
Each of Noah’s sons is given geographical lands to settle, build cities, and populate.
Noah’s great-grandson, Nimrod, is described in the Bible as “a mighty hunter before the Lord.” It’s been discussed at length that this translation should be “a mighty hunter against the Lord.”
Nimrod ruled over several cities in Mesopotamia, including Babylon.
The people of Babylon begin making bricks out of mud hardened with fire. They began to build a tower that will reach into the sky. They were trying to get the old world back.
God doesn’t like this at all.
The humans, along with the spirits of the fallen angels, are trying to be gods again!
He strikes down the tower and splits the languages so humankind cannot work together anymore.
One of the fragments of the Book of Enoch found in the Dead Sea Scrolls has lists of the earliest giant nephilim, those who were born after the flood.
This fragment of Enoch lists Nimrod, this great-grandson of Noah, grandson of Ham, son of Cush, this mighty hunter against the Lord.
But his name in this fragment is not Nimrod.
It’s Gilgamesh.
Early Civilization
We have now caught up with the historical record.
At this point in time, we begin to see early civilization emerging around the world as people have spread out, divided by a plethora of languages - but we’re going to stick to the Fertile Crescent, the birthplace of humanity, for now.
This is where we begin to see the invention of all mythology, based on an inversion of the origin story of humankind in the Bible, recycled throughout history.
Babylon is one of the earliest known civilizations, with a highly advanced calendar and a keen interest in astronomy.
Babylon became the world’s first empire.
Babylon also established the world’s first creation myth.
It is a sort of inversion of the creation story in Bible, anthropomorphizing and adding spirits and free-will to each of the elements created before humans - the sky, the earth, the sea, the stars, the sun, and the moon.
There is a battle of the gods, humans are created for the sole purpose of serving these demigods, and there is a long flowery tribute to Marduk, their patron deity. When we get to Rome, Marduk becomes Jupiter.
The name of this ancient group of deities worshiped by Babylonians was the Annunaki.
This brings me to a question I have not been able to answer.
When we read the creation story in the Bible, we assume that humans are the first creatures created on earth with high intelligence, sentience, and free will.
But we know this world is not just a physical world, it’s a spiritual world.
And we know we are full of hubris.
And these are big things God made - the sea, the sky, the sun.
And, as you will see, all mythology includes these as characteristics possessed by the demigods.
During Satan’s rebellion and the War in Heaven, which saw Satan bring a third of the angels with him - is it possible that the land, the sea, the sun, the moon got caught in the crossfire?
Did the moon rebel? Is that why menstruation, part of the curse of the fall, is influenced by the moon?
Does Satan have the ability to manipulate the celestial bodies and the elements?
Can the 10% remaining nephilim-spirit-demons influence them?
We cannot know for sure, but I don’t think this aspect would be the bulk of mythology the world over if it weren’t an inversion of the truth.
If the wandering stars/planets are spiritual beings, why wouldn’t the sun and moon be as well?
This may explain witchcraft - why it works, why Satan tries to seduce people into using it, and why God warns us against it.
By 1700 BC, the Babylonian empire had spread to encompass Sumer, the oldest known civilization.
Sumer was incredibly technologically advanced - they invented the wheel, had complex farming and irrigation systems, invented the first writing system, mass produced pottery, developed textile factories, developed arithmetic and geometry, built harpoons and other tools, and invented chariots.
Many Sumerian artifacts depict smaller humans serving giants.
They had a highly-advanced lunar calendar, and were the world’s first astronomers.
Sumerian theology is anthropomorphic polytheism.
They have 7 demigods called Apkallu who are part man and part bird or fish. It is said that they came to Earth to teach humans wisdom.
When we get to Ancient Greece, the word Apkallu becomes Apollo.
When we get to Rome, these demigods names take on the names of the planets.
Before we leave Babylon, we find yet another biblical allegory - that of the immaculate conception.
Nimrod was married to his mother, Semiramis. According to legend, he met an untimely end - and shortly after, Semiramis became pregnant. Not wanting to admit to the real father, Semiramis publicly declared that upon Nimrod’s death, he had been resurrected as the sun god and impregnated her with his sun rays.
She claimed her child was Nimrod reincarnated, making him a demigod here on earth. She named him Tammuz - also known as Baal.
This story may sound familiar because it’s also reflected in the story of Osiris and Isis and Horus in Egypt.
As well as Horus and Hathor in Egypt, Zeus and Dionysus and Aphrodite in Greece, Jupiter and Diana in Rome, Vishnu and Krishna India, Odin and Freya in Scandinavia, of Teotl and Quetzalcoatl in Mexico.
And this is why people think the Christ story in the Bible is not the original, because this happened thousands of years before the birth of Jesus, and was repeated the world over in every language.
But what if they knew Jesus was coming and they attempted to preempt and outshine his story by first establishing it as a myth?
How could they have known?
Because it was literally written in the stars, and the thing they were desperately trying to cling to was their antediluvian astronomical knowledge.
According to Enoch, to whom the secrets of astrology were revealed by the angels, the Zodiac tells the story of Jesus Christ.
The Book of Enoch does not detail the constellations, but many have interpreted Jesus’ story in the zodiac as follows:
Virgo - depicted by a maiden, this represents the virgin birth of Jesus Christ
Libra - depicted by scales, this represents Christ the Redeemer tipping the scales in our favor
Scorpio - depicted by a scorpion, this represents Satan and the earthly battle of good and evil
Sagittarius - depicted by Orion, the hunter, shooting at the heart of the scorpion, this represents Jesus triumphing over Satan
Capricorn - depicted by a goat, because Jesus becomes the scapegoat as a sacrifice for all mankind (and Jesus is a Capricorn, which is funny because he’s his own dad)
Aquarius - depicted by a man pouring a jug of water, this represents the living water that pours forth from Jesus’ heart
Pisces - depicted by two fish chained to a sea monster, this represents Jesus as a fisherman here to catch and save us
Aries - depicted by a ram or lamb, this represents Jesus as the sacrificial lamb which is required in the Old Testament when a law is broken
Taurus - depicted by the bull, in Enoch the white bull represents the Kingdom of God in the Millennial Reign
Gemini - depicted by the twins, this likely represents the duality of Jesus and Satan in our world
Cancer - depicted by a crab, this could represent Jesus carrying the cross and/or delivering us from evil
Leo - depicted by a lion, the king of the animal kingdom, this represents Jesus as the King of Kings
It would appear that they have inverted God’s zodiac for their own purposes.
Ancient Egypt
In ancient Egypt, we find a recycling of the Babylonian gods, the fallen angels.
Ra, Osiris, Isis, Horus, Set, Ptah, Re, Hathor, Anubis, Thoth (who represents Enoch), Bastet, Amon.
These gods are all partially human, and partially other animals.
We also find a culture obsessed with bloodlines.
And we find the Pyramids of Giza.
No one knows what these pyramids were used for or what they can do.
They are the oldest known structures in the world, along with the Sphinx (the body of which is speculated to be much older than the newer head, and shows significant water damage).
The Pyramids of Giza appear in the same time period as the Ziggurat in Babylon - a stepped pyramid.
And they are perfectly designed and constructed to align with the three stars that makeup Orion’s belt.
Orion the hunter is associated by the opposition with Osiris, who, if we trace it back, is analogous to Baal, who represents, at best, a fallen angel, and at worst, Satan himself.
And in God’s zodiac, the hunter in the constellation Sagittarius, Jesus, is shooting an arrow through the heart of the scorpio, Satan, in revenge for stinging Orion, who presumably would be God in this analogy. Are they trying to replace God with Satan in his own Zodiac story?
The Pyramids of Giza also align with Stonehenge in England, Angkor Wat in Cambodia, Easter Island in Chile, Ollantaytambo and the Nazca lines in Peru, and many other early structures the world over that align with the star Orion.
Now we find the beginning of cultures around the world worshiping the sun, the moon, and the stars.
And it is during this time in ancient Egypt that God makes a covenant with Abraham and the seed of monotheistic religion is planted.
Ancient Greece
In Greece we find the fallen angels masquerading as gods once again - Zeus, Hera, Aphrodite, Apollo, Ares, Artemis, Athena, Demeter, Dionysus, Hephaestus, Hermes, and Poseidon.
We also find the elements - a primeval void called Chaos, Gaia (Earth), Ouranos (Sky), Pontos (Sea) and Tartaros (the Underworld).
And we find a rich tapestry of Greek mythology retelling our biblical origin story.
In The Lost City of Atlantis, Plato tells an allegory on the hubris of nations.
Atlantis is an advanced seafaring nation founded by people who are half human, half gods.
They ruled the known world until they made a military mistake and fell out of favor with the deities, submerging Atlantis into the ocean.
The hubris of nations, indeed.
The Roman Empire
That brings us to the life and death of Jesus Christ, and we see most of the opposition come together in the form of the Roman Empire.
The first monotheistic religion to emerge after Abraham was Judaism, so the first thing the opposition needed to do was infiltrate Judaism so they could make sure that the Jews would not recognize their own prophesied messiah.
And they succeeded at that.
Then we see the fallen angels once again showing up under new names:
Jupiter, Juno, Mars, Mercury, Neptune, Venus, Apollo, Diana, Minerva, Ceres, Vulcan, Vesta
This is the first time we see the gods specifically use the planets as their names - the time when Christ was alive on earth. That’s quite a way for Satan to send a message.
Though divided by the languages, these ancient cultures sure seemed to be speaking with one tongue.
There is nothing new under the sun.
Eastern Mysticism
In Asia, we once again see the group of fallen angels showing up here under different names - Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Krishna, Buddha, along with the 330 million other gods in Hinduism.
We also see widespread dragon worship.
Eastern mysticism distinguishes between the essence of God, and divine attributes, which it regards as those that preempt God and permeate the universe regardless of His existence.
In the Bible, we learn that divine attributes such as wisdom are created by God and we are only blessed with them if we are righteous and deserving. Wisdom is a divine attribute created and directed by God in his order, and not something humans possess innately and can access without God or spiritual intercession.
This is, once again, Satan trying to take credit for God’s creation, and demons trying to seduce humans into accessing the spiritual world through them.
The Dark Ages
After Jesus, there was an immense battle for control of His message.
They’d sidelined Judaism, and now they needed to sideline Christianity, too.
But that was difficult.
The Roman Empire infiltrated the Catholic Church at its inception, and while they were certainly able to influence it, for the large part they were unsuccessful and the Good News spread.
Islam was founded as a monotheistic religion, but again incorporated denial of Jesus Christ as the son of God.
By the Middle Ages, the Catholic Church was the largest church in the world, the Vatican was a force, and Christians weren’t allowed to read the Bible.
It was read to them, in Latin.
The Enlightenment
Around 1440 AD, Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press.
The first book ever printed was The Holy Bible, and people were clamoring to get their own copies.
People were going to be able to read the Bible themselves. The whole thing.
The Vatican was facing a reckoning, and the opposition needed to regroup to keep dividing God’s message.
The Protestant Reformation served to successfully divide the Christian church, and trimmed the Bible down to 66 books.
While what was lost is not critical to salvation, it eliminates some of the context that is critical for understanding the spiritual world, which was fairly common knowledge for thousands of years, until very recently.
The Protestant Church also strongly discouraged anyone from reading the Apocrypha, the books that they removed from the Bible and the deuterocanonical texts referenced here that give us a fuller understanding of the physical and spiritual world we find ourselves in.
The Protestant Reformation came about in conjunction with the Enlightenment and the Scientific Revolution.
Suddenly, in the span of a few short centuries, people went from knowing there is a vast spiritual world to believing that only the things they could see with their eyes were real.
By the 16th century, Ferdinand Magellan became the first person to circumnavigate the globe, turning the world round.
The Copernican Revolution shifted the astronomical model from geocentric to heliocentric - we now revolve around the sun.
And with his Theory of Evolution, Darwin told us we descended from apes.
Now we all came from tribes in Africa way, way back - no garden, no ark.
Everything that came out of the Scientific Revoltion provided an alternative explanation for human origins.
Suddenly, science could explain away God.
Revolution
Growing up in America, we were told that Christopher Columbus accidentally found this continent while trying to sail around the world to prove the earth was round.
Or that he was trying to go to India the long way around, to get spices.
Either way, it’s not a true story.
There have been giant skeletons and ancient Mesopotamian artifacts found all over the United States, especially in and around Arizona and the Grand Canyon. We have no way of knowing the age of these because when these skeletons were found, the Smithsonian would come to take control of them and they would never be seen publicly again. But given the history presented above, these giants could have been here thousands of years ago.
Back in the days of the ark, Noah blessed his son Japheth that his territory would be expanded. Japheth’s territory included most of Europe, and the Europeans are the ones who colonized America. One of the meanings of the name Japheth is freedom.
Manifest Destiny is biblical.
But they used it militarily, strategically, to control the world’s population and belief systems.
And they’d also already been to the Americas, long before.
Our ancestors built an ark that saved all of humanity and all the animals - of course they could easily sail from Mesopotamia to the Americas.
As the British Empire expanded, they brought Scientism with them.
Christianity had permeated the upper echelons of society, but the British monarchy realized that they could not have Christian ideals embedded in their organization because it was a threat to worldwide expansion and colonization.
It was a threat to the opposition’s newest scheme, privatized banking, because usury is forbidden in the Bible, because our original sin involved us making some sort of deal with the Devil.
As the British Empire spread, so did the belief in science as the ultimate authority on the world.
His people perish for lack of knowledge.
The Final Frontier
And that brings us to today.
Today, we no longer have a worldwide mythology wherein Satan and the fallen angels take the form of demigods whom society worships.
Or do we?
Today, those Egyptian gods turned Greek gods turned Roman gods recycled through the ages are the names of our planets, the wandering stars in the Bible.
Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
There are 7 of them, because Pluto (which means Hades and is the Greek god of the underworld) is no longer considered a planet.
We’re told the earth revolves around the sun - placing it at the center of our universe and claiming it is the sole entity that gives us life.
In the 1950s, America established NASA and developed a space program with the help of former Nazi rocket scientists they had recruited after WWII, along with well-known occultists practicing chaos and sex magic. Scientology was founded out of this occult group.
In the 1960s, NASA developed the Apollo program to land man on the moon.
Apollo, remember, comes from the original Sumerian word for the 7 demigods, Apkallu.
In the Bible, one of the names Satan is given is Apollyon, which means Destroyer.
Today, we have an International Space Station Program that brings all the world’s superpowers together, speaking one language, to shoot rockets to the moon.
Or the planets.
Or the stars.
The rockets are covered in esoteric symbolism and references to greek and roman gods.
The International Space Station (ISS) launched in 1998 to orbit the earth as a laboratory and observatory.
The ISS has a maximum capacity of 7 people, and is orbiting at 250 miles above earth.
We previously discussed the Tower of Babel - a mighty tower, with its tops in the heavens.
The post-flood people, led by the offspring of the fallen angels, tried to build a tower through which they could reach heaven.
Are they doing it again?
Is the International Space Station a modern day Tower of Babel?
Conclusion
The way the secular world view is constructed is clearly a full and complete inversion of the biblical world view.
Both the secular and the biblical world views require you to have faith.
One requires you to place your faith in humans, and the other requires you to place your faith in a singular, all-knowing God.
One requires you to believe that humans and the Earth exist on accident. That any multitude of combinations of events could have occurred resulting in the Earth and humankind. That we are the best and brightest version of humans that ever existed.
And the other requires you to believe that the earth is a glorious, purposeful creation. That humans are a beautiful creation made in the image of God. That humans messed up, and made a mistake. And got tricked by a powerful entity.
And now find ourselves in a set of circumstances that pose an eternal question.
Who do you serve?
