卐 Hitler | Atlantis | Aztecs | Hollywood | Babylon | Rapture | Rennes | Rosslyn | UFO | 666✵ 卐 Hitler | Atlantis | Aztecs | Hollywood | Babylon | Rapture | Rennes | Rosslyn | UFO | 666✵ The real “Beast” of the Bible is a very different person. Instead of being a frightening person, he will be greatly honored, respected, and loved by the majority of the world. He will also be accepted as the prophesied "Messiah" to rule the world in peace and prosperity. When [his] Anti-Christian Kingdom is finally destroyed, the world will not rejoice in thanksgiving for their release from oppression and Satanic control. They will do just the opposite. People will “weep and mourn” over Babylon’s collapse (Revelation 18:11). They will “bewail” and “lament” because this kingdom of human excellence and perfection has come to an end. Trade and craft will have reached dazzling heights of prosperity under the “Beast.” Culture and the fine arts will show the apex of human accomplishment during his reign. The Secret of the Number 666 [JESUS CHRIST speaking to Israel] I have come in my Father's name and you (Israel) have rejected me (as the Messiah) but another is coming (Antichrist) who shall come in his own name, and him you will receive and accept. And how could you ever believe me when you only accept each other's praise whilst never desiring the glory that can only come from God? But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom you have placed all your hopes. For had you believed Moses, and understood his writing (the Torah) then ye would have believed me, for he wrote of me and my coming. John 5:43-46; The Holy Bible Then Jesus said unto the twelve: Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the Prophets concerning me shall be accomplished. For I shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, to be mocked, spitefully treated, spitted on, scourged, put to death, but on the third day I shall rise again. And they understood none of these things which He spoke. [Amazingly, modern Jews are still ignorant of the meaning behind Isaiah 53 to this very day, which is why they shall accept a very non-suffering Messiah, who makes no claims of removing Sin.] Luke 18:31-34; The Holy Bible [Newly Resurrected Christ speaking to His Disciples] This is what I meant before, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms concerning Me. Then He opened their understanding so that they finally understood the whole of the Jewish Scriptures. And He said unto them, Thus it is written, the Messiah was to suffer, be killed, then rise from the dead on the third day: And that remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are my witnesses of these things. Luke 24:44-45; The Holy Bible FROM CAIN TO ANTICHRIST: THE ANGLO-MASONIC ROYAL SECRET EXPOSED Since the dawn of man, the conspiracy has existed. Down thru the ages it has had a solitary, albeit sinister goal. It is so ancient, but worthy of noting for all time, that the Bible itself warns us of it by fifteen verses into the third chapter of Genesis, where God foretells of the epic war between the Morning Star Christ and the Morning Star Satan via the seed of Satan against the seed of Adam. God further indicates that this same war between what will become the elite controllers of this world, ultimately against the rest of mankind, reflects that of Heaven's First War, when Lucifer announced his 5 "I Wills" and so desired to place himself as God, to rule over all. As such, while God no longer allowed Satan to reside next to His Throne, God allowed Satan's mutiny, knowing that it would end one day in the Antichrist and an Apocalypse, on earth, resulting in either a soul's elevation back to God, or eternal damnation with Satan, if one so chooses it. In this way, God only receives souls unto Him that would never later rise up in mutiny, as Lucifer had done, they knowing full well the price of such sin. Thus, we have to critically ask ourselves, what have we done, or what are we still doing, to allow Satan's control to fester in this world? Even if saved, we need to always be asking ourselves what else could we do to expose Satan's increasing control over this world, while at the same time helping to bring Christ's own Kingdom into this world, on a daily basis. Moreover, what did each of us do to help his neighbor be able to remain in his blindness, or be given sight to these many things which are at work daily against him, and us all? For we shall be judged by such things. Have we earnestly sought the Truth, and if knowing the Truth, how far did we then go to reveal it, to others? For myself, despite the factors of events that came to work against it, I have sought out the Truth, of everything, and this is my report. I am absolutely certain that the elites who secretly govern us all, never expected one person could have affected so much change in the world against their coming One World Leader, but with God's great help, even supernatural help, along the way, I have done just that. People *are* beginning to wake up from their slumber like never before, and the day is coming by which Christ promised me at six years of age, that I would expose the Beast, and that through exposing him, would many turn to Christ and renounce this world, their flesh, and the Devil. Understand, it is because Satan's men ultimately govern this world's corrupting system from top to bottom, that by our generation, he has been given such wide-reaching power over all our lives, from what we eat, via their genetically tainted foods that bring us under a manageable population control, to what your children learn at schools via the paganized public education system, to even what kind of increasingly Occult-orientated films you take them to see, all of it is to break down the last semblance of Christian belief, and in its place institute a belief system where pagan gods, magic, dominance by force, ancient bloodlines, and a return to the mythic super-powers of legendary heroes, kings, and kingdoms, rule. Today, increasingly younger children among us can recite authentic magical spells taken from some of the most wicked Occult books written today, because the media directed at them is absolutely saturated with it. The media, however, are counting on the fact that websites like the one before you, has escaped your view, so that they may continue the pagan indoctrination of your children. Of course, Satan's own people would have you believe it's all completely harmless, and only encourage that your child see it as fun. But, as you'll soon learn, what may be fun, can have devastating results on your spirit, as well as that protection God affords most children under a certain age. If you have children, and you're seeing these trends toward hero- worship, magical-based thinking, the Occult, in all its forms, being directed at your children of an impressionable age, remove it quickly from every area of their lives, and, tell them why. What you may not know, yet, is how the modern Satanic religion is advancing in larger strides today, albeit hiding itself behind such introductions to Satanism as today's pagan Wicca and Witchcraft youth movements, as well as the things which introduce them initially toward fascination of the dark side of spirituality to begin with. In very real terms, the Occult today and their attacks on our youth is comparable with the Hitler Youth Movement of the past, because both were/are being operated by a twisted hierarchy whose 'elite leaders' believe they can manipulate a generation, for Hitler/Satan himself. As such, because innocent kids are more easily beguiled, they will be told again and again that Wicca, for one example, has nothing to do with worshipping Satan as God, even though that's exactly what they are doing. Any amount of serious research easily proves that everything of the Occult, including Wicca/Witchcraft, was born out of Satanic worship. In fact, the vast majority of Occult tomes have authors who wantonly make the clearest of distinctions regarding all Occult, New Age, and Metaphysical roads leading to Satan, their "God." So is it any wonder that not knowing about these more lucid assertions would confuse today's youth, pushed into such hatred against God and the Bible, into one of Satan's alternative (decoy) belief systems that remove a soul far from his own Creator? Answer: No, this was in fact Satan's modus operandi since the beginning. Remember, Satan works in counterfeit actions to God's Will, thus, he finds ways to counterfeit not only God, but God's Word, 'Religion,' Messiah, and even Heaven itself. Just as Christ arrives bringing with him a Heavenly New Age of peace and prosperity, so too will the Antichrist, in counterfeit, to tempt those who would follow after him instead of Christ. The same wicked minds who fill our children's heads with subtle forms of Satanic worship via Witchcraft, are today, as we approach the time of Antichrist's revealing, also admitting in their own website and historical blogs, the once, secret knowledge regarding Cain, his "mark," and his descendants.

    How the World is, and has been controlled by the same Families for Millennia These are the Secret Elite Families that rule the world from behind the scenes and what WE can do to change society for the better Let us begin with a quick look at the current (as of May 2015) British Prime Minister David Cameron; Aristocracy and politics Cameron descends from King William IV and his mistress Dorothea Jordan through their illegitimate daughter Lady Elizabeth FitzClarence to the fifth female generation Enid Agnes Maud Levita. His father's maternal grandmother, Stephanie Levita (née Cooper) was the daughter of Sir Alfred Cooper and Lady Agnes Duff (sister of Alexander Duff, 1st Duke of Fife) and a sister of Duff Cooper, 1st Viscount Norwich GCMG DSO PC, the Conservative statesman and author. His paternal grandmother, Enid Levita, who married secondly in 1961 a younger son of the 1st Baron Manton, was the daughter of Arthur Levita and niece of Sir Cecil Levita KCVO CBE, Chairman of London County Council in 1928. Through the Mantons, Cameron also has kinship with the 3rd Baron Hesketh KBE PC, Conservative Chief Whip in the House of Lords 1991–93. Cameron's maternal grandfather was Sir William Mount, 2nd Baronet, an army officer and the High Sheriff of Berkshire, and Cameron's maternal great-grandfather was Sir William Mount Bt CBE, Conservative MP for Newbury 1910–1922.

Rukmani, directrice de recherche Normand Mousseau, codirecteur de recherche Solange Lefebvre, membre du jury Varadaraja Raman, examinateur externe Karine Bates, repr´esentante du doyen de la FESP ii Abstract Toward the end of the 19th century, the Hindu monk and reformer Swami Vivekananda claimed that modern science was inevitably converging towards Advaita Ved¯anta, an important philosophico-religious system in Hinduism. In the decades that followed, in the midst of the revolution occasioned by the emergence of Einstein’s relativity and quantum physics, a growing number of authors claimed to discover striking “par- allels” between Advaita Ved¯anta and modern physics. Such claims of convergence have continued to the present day, especially in relation to quantum physics. In this dissertation, an attempt is made to critically examine such claims by engaging a de- tailed comparative analysis of two concepts: ¯ak¯a´sa in Advaita Ved¯anta and vacuum in quantum physics.

  • The Satanic Bible Anton Szandor Lavey
    Called “The Black Pope” by many of his followers, Anton LaVey began the road to High Priesthood of the Church of Satan when he was only 16 years old and an organ player in a carnival: “On Saturday night I would see men lusting after half‐naked girls dancing at the carnival, and on Sunday morning when I was playing the organ for tent‐show evangelists at the other end of the carnival lot, I would see these same men sitting in the pews with their wives and children, asking God to forgive them and purge them of carnal desires. And the next Saturday night they’d be back at the carnival or some other place of indulgence. “I knew then that the Christian Church thrives on hypocrisy, and that man’s carnal nature will out!” From that time early in his life his path was clear. Finally, on the last night of April, 1966– Walpurgisnacht, the most important festival of the believers in witchcraft–LaVey shaved his head in the tradition of ancient executioners and announced the formation of The Church Of Satan. He had seen the need for a church that would recapture man’s body and his carnal desires as objects of celebration. “Since worship of fleshly things produces pleasure,” he said, “there would then be a temple of glorious indulgence. .” The Satanic Bible Anton Szandor LaVey For Diane Dedications To: Bernadino Logara, who knew the value of money Karl Haushofer, a teacher without a classroom Rasputin, who knew the magic of a child Sir Basil Zaharoff, a gentleman Cagliostro, a rogue Barnabas Saul, the link with Mount Lalesh Ragnar Redbeard, whose might is right William Mortensen, who looked .

  • 'Science and Religion' Is
    Investigating the ‘Science’ in ‘Eastern Religions’: A methodological inquiry The trope of ‘science and religion’ is usually employed in western academic circles as a shorthand for the historical narratives and the philosophical analyses of the various overlaps, oppositions, and disjunctions between empirical scientific methodologies and specifically Christian doctrines of God, creation, and redemption. Over the last five decades or so, the key terms ‘science’ and ‘religion’, understood in terms of these referents, have been minutely scrutinised, and various typologies of the relations, some more amicable than the others, between these categories have been proposed. More recently, the rubric of ‘Eastern Religions’ has sometimes been added to these discussions, where this category encompasses diverse spiritual strands which have received varying degrees of scholarly attention. The engagements of Tibetan Mahayana Buddhisms with quantum physics and neurobiology have been quite extensively studied, and various interpretations of the empirical sciences have been offered also from certain Hindu Vedantic perspectives. From a historical perspective, there is a conceptual-institutional divergence between the discourses of ‘science and Christianity’ and of ‘science and eastern religions’, in that while European science and Christianity emerged from a common intellectual and institutional matrix of post- Reformation cultures, and were thus crucially shaped by their mutual borrowings and hostilities, European science is a more recent arrival in various

  • New Age Science 1
    CHAPTER THREE NEW AGE SCIENCE 1 DaB ich erkenne, was die Welt im Innersten zusammenhalt, Schau alle Wirkenskraft und Samen und tu nicht mehr in W orten kramen J.W. von Goethe, Faust I THE QUEST FOR A UNIFIED WORLDVIEW One of the notable characteristics of New Age thinking is its high regard for modern science. This may seem surprising at first sight because New Agers also tend to distrust and reject academic rationalism; but, in fact, the contra­ diction is only apparent. Modern scientific developments-especially in theo­ retical physics-appeal to New Age concerns for two reasons. On the one hand, they are interpreted in such a way as to legitimate a spiritual worldview; but, at the same time ( and for the very same reasons) they also serve as weapons to attack the existing scientific consensus. This is possible because the "old" and the "new" science are perceived as radical opposites, if not in practice then at least in principle. Traditional science-associated with the academic estab­ lishment-is thoroughly condemned as materialistic and conducive to human alienation, but the New Age has discovered the new science as a potential ally against it. Following Thomas Kuhn's Structure of Scientific Revolutions2, New Age believers claim that established science reflects an outdated reductionis­ tic paradigm bound to be replaced by a new paradigm based on a holistic per­ spective. The suggestion that the evolutionary thrust of science now leads it to reject the very materialism it once helped to create is as inspiring to some peo­ ple as it is outrageous to others.

  • The Quantum God: an Investigation of the Image of God from Quantum Science
    The Quantum God: An Investigation of the Image of God from Quantum Science By Meaghean H. Richardson A Thesis Submitted to Saint Mary’s University, Halifax, Nova Scotia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Theology and Religious Studies June, 2015, Halifax, Nova Scotia Copyright Meaghean H. Richardson, 2015. Approved: Dr. Anne Marie Dalton Supervisor Approved: Dr. Mary Hale Reader Approved: Dr. Magi Abdul-Masih Examiner Date: June 5, 2015 2 ABSTRACT The Quantum God: An Investigation of the Image of God from Quantum Science By Meaghean H. Richardson This thesis is an investigation of the image of God arising from understandings of quantum science and argues that it enhances ideas about God. It considers the significance of religious interpretations of quantum science and briefly examines the case of Christian theology and God’s actions in the world. The nature of quantum phenomena requires the use of imagery likened to that used in many mystical and religious traditions. Using a multivalued approach, I give equitable consideration to multiple scientific and theological interpretations to describe the God-concept presented by sources writing on the mystical implications of quantum science. The quantum demands an intellectual and academic openness, requiring the use of resources outside of science, and pushes for a holistic approach and a transition to a postmodern paradigm. Therefore, the quantum is said to be a re-enchanting force, calling for a re-evaluation of the spiritual dimension in our overall understanding of reality. June 5, 2015 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I must first thank my parents for their support of every kind while I chase my dreams.

Gutjahr Much ink has been spilled on the topic of the uneasy relationship between American Christians and the novel. The vast majority of this scholarship has centered on American Protestantism’s antagonism toward the novel in the early nineteenth century. With few exceptions, the dominant narrative of this relationship goes something like this: American Protestants viewed Wction writing in general, and the novel in particular, as a serious threat to the virtue and well-being of every American up until the 1850s, when their opposition began to gradually erode until it was washed away com- pletely by the astounding popularity of Lew Wallace’s Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ, Wrst published in 1880.1 As with so many grand narratives, this one is Xawed. American Protes- tantism has never been a monolithic entity. It has varied according to region- alism, denominationalism, and its connections to other American cultural practices such as science, education, and politics.
