Pentecost


Pentecost

Not so long ago a Father reanimated a young man from the grips of death. This Papa was no ordinary rolling stone, yet he did manage to move a stone bolder which secured the tomb of His resurrected Son. Subsequent to Jesus' resurrection the Apostles, Mary Magdalene and several others walked with Him proclaiming God’s gift to Mankind - the gift of everlasting life. Jesus travelled in the region for forty days and then he was conscripted back into the heavens.  On the fiftieth day Jesus anointed the Apostles with the gift of the Holy Spirit. This Christian day of worship is known as Pentecost. We celebrate it today, May 20, 2018. 

The Christian trilogy of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit was officially consecrated. The trilogy is no stranger to history, for the same trilogy exists in Hinduism and many other religions. The main gods of the Hindus are Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. While the Holy Spirit was sent down to heal the broken, Shiva is the “destroyer” goddess evoked by the madmen of our times to destroy humanity. A monument of Shiva is placed at the entrance of the CERN facility in Switzerland. In seeking the god-particle and the millions of other universes, the resident scientists hold fast to the notion that our destruction may become a by-product of their curiosity.

As the Apostles walked from city to city proclaiming the word of God they performed many miracles, converting jews and gentiles alike. But Caiaphas and the Council of Sanhedrin did not approve of such treachery. In Acts 13:46 Paul and Barnabas say of the jews:

“We had to speak the word of God to you first. Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles”.

It took two millennia for a jewish mystic named Rabbi Yitzhak Kudari to come to know the truth spoken by Paul and Barnabas, yet his message of salvation was once again thrust into the darkness by the jews.

As I watched Harry and Meghan’s wedding ceremony, I could not stop contemplating the two words employed by the media - upper crust and commoner. To think that there exists a higher plane that warrants a human to have dominion over another is absurd. Yet history has managed to create these invisible divisions by the use of war, theft and lies. The planet has many layers of crust which rotate and shift over time. It is always the most inward of layers which creates the greatest destruction atop the visible upper crust. The actions of Mother Earth are symbolic of God's future judgement upon those who have abused His creation and refused to acknowledge Him.

Amusingly, the “upper crust” sat in a house of God celebrating more their own stature in life, rather than celebrating Harry and Meghan’s wedding. They ogled and chuckled and appeared more amused by their own good fortunes. Ironically, it is these very people who “cult”-ivate the plagues of destruction afflicting the planet today. Wether it be the pharisee, prince, pawn broker or the pretorian politician, they all seek to guard their own interests.

Bishop Curry spoke of fire, but neglected to mention that the soul is an eternal source of energy and fire.  That same fire also nourishes our ability to love. But seeding and harvesting love in fields filled with the blood-soaked remains of war becomes an ominous challenge. You may not know it but energy, or fire, is transferable from one entity to another. In these days of Shiva, evil’s vampire-like addiction to destroy creation is its one primary goal. Humanity’s entanglement with evil is so profoundly suicidal that we cannot imagine the end result. It is that evil that consumes our love and will ultimately consume our souls.

Satan’s month and day are only weeks away.  His mind is filled only with wickedness and there are only a few amongst us who dare undertake his ambitions. The essence of all thought is a mystery, even for the one who contemplates only evil, yet it is the human hand that brings that evil to fruition. We are on the path to self-destruction by choice. Nero's violin will once again play as the Earth is consumed by fire. The cello playing Ave Maria appeared such a better choice.

Thank you,

I wrote the above in May, 2018 and fires consumed the world thereafter. 2018 has likely been the worst year for fires in recorded history. Here is the link to one article:

The year ended with the California wildfires which eventually consumed Paradise, California. Ominous event considering the name of the town that was destroyed.
