18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Count what number? The verse number! For 18 is the number of a man. And count 6+6+6...it = 18. Day 18 of 2013 = The rapture from out of the earth. But it will be Satan's rapture... Revelation 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. Think I'm on to something here?

The number of his name is 1. It's so in your face. The name of the beast is Satan. Again, it's so in your face. What do you think? Satan will be raptured from a very bad earth is what Rev 13 is also telling us about. Coming up OUT of the earth is implying a rapture of some kind, wouldn't you think? 666 is a code. It's 3 numbers so that gives you the 3. 666 = 18 = 9. That calulation gives us the singular number 9. Put the numbers together to stand as a date, and you get 3-9 (March 9th). The title of the chapter "Revelation 13" plays a role on what year this Satan rapture will occur. The year is 2013 because we write the year '13. The verse 18 play a role, too, because it said here is wisdom right next to it. So 18 can imply 18:00 in army time based on GMT. GMT because the three animals the beast is mixed with can imply one global time zone all countries also go by, and that is GMT. The 10 horns with 10 crowns symbolize the binary code. This means the population in paradise and on earth are of...

Sorcery This is one subject that all have heard about but few fully understand. In the old books you have stories of the witch and her caldron brewing up her spells and concoctions and in the modern electronic games we have the sorceress and wizards and their tonics along with health potions and fire out their finger tips etc. But what gets left out is the history behind the practice and what it was really meant to achieve. In the new testament the word sorcery is translated from this word below. It is different from Magic proper but it is a requirement to be able to advance into full magic. Sorcery is where it all starts. This is where we get our modern word Pharmacist from. It left the occult behind and became a science. Only problem is many of the occult attributes have followed it despite the practice becoming a science. Also it obviously includes a whole lot more that is not tied up into the science part or acknowledged by the industry it has become.

Have you ever forgiven someone? If so, who needs God to forgive a second time? It is to the one sinned against to have the first right of forgiving when forgiving is possible. That would be most sins and crimes save murder. I have had the pleasure to forgive on a few occasions. I will assume here that you have also forgiven someone at some point in your life. I have had that pleasure after the pain and hope you have as well. I have stepped up to ask for forgiveness as well after sinning against someone and am thankful that people can and do forgive. This benefit I also hope you have enjoyed. Our consciousness and ego are what we use to judge what should be forgiven. If we lose that ability to judge or if it is usurped, damage is done to our consciousness and ego. It would negate intelligent use of our freedom of choice. It would negate our free will and deny us closure. The Government has taken our freedom of the body from us with various restrictions. Everything from what we consume to our right...

The fight for free religion in America This PBS video, broadcasted on 12/18/2012, is worth watching and thinking about. http://video.pbs.org/video/2315729403 It is full of topics worth debating, either here or elsewhere.

Did the Jews con their con man Western masters and win the God Wars? Modern scholarship has identified that Rome manipulated the Jews into rewriting their scriptures and turn their militant God into a pacifist God. The Jews, being brighter than Rome, now the Western world, were loath to do so but recognizing that they had no choice and decided to build doubt into the Jesus myth. Jewish scribes used a number of writing tricks to advance their God and not the Western version. They duplicated some parts of their myth beginning in Eden with two creation myths and carried that process to Noah and the flood with two flood myths. They built contradictions and double entendre to create ambiguity and thus insure that their book of myths was filled with many arguable points and thus insure that the population would maintain interest in their God. Seeking God and not finding God is what has kept the idea of a God alive. That is why they will not name their God. Almost. They did put a master key in the Bible...

I love this time of year, even though my faith in God is diminished I still love the coming together, of watching and waiting....... We are all waiting for the moment we know that everything will be ok, perhaps in the wintry mirky darkness we loose ourselves in the world called Christmas? Bringing near to us what are in fact distant things. Whether your a God believer or humanist or somewhere in between, don't forget about the 'we' and who we are.... 'we' are you and me Festival and timely greetings

Was God using a human to reproduce appropriate reproductive conduct? All other known entities, except for God, use one of their own species to reproduce. One would think that an almighty God could find his own woman and reproduce purely instead of fathering a half breed hybrid and act as a deadbeat dad and take off without doing his duty as a father. Archeological evidence show that he had a wife, Asherah, and one must wonder what she thought of God was using inappropriate reproductive methods and coveting another man’s woman, Mary, and breaking his own commandment. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42154769/ns/technology_and_science-science/t/did-god-have-wife-scholar-says-he-did/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdWAfxVB7N0

Why does Jesus the shepherd leave his flock at the mercy of a Super Wolf? Scriptures say that God gave Satan/Super Wolf dominion over the earth and the power to deceive all of us on this world. Jesus often used the shepherd and sheep analogy in scriptures. Following that analogy and the fact that Jesus has been gone for some time now, one must wonder why, if our souls are so important to Jesus, he has left us and past generations at Satan’s mercy. No shepherd I ever heard of would be so irresponsible to his duty to his flock. Especially since scriptures tell us that more sheep will be taken by Satan than protected by the shepherd.
