J A N UA RY I S S U E 2 0 1 3 $1.50 P.P.& S . NE WS ! I received an enormous amount of email supporting our decision not to go to Chichen Itza. Richard Grund’s article this month provides some detail as to why we were told to stand down. In the reader comment section you will see a sampling of these posts. I want to thank everyone again for their financial support. Here is the BLOG I posted concerning the 2012 nonsense. There is no ascension, no paradigm shift, no end of the world. In short all the hype about the Mayan calendar and the supposed end of the world is nothing but a lot of hooey, just like I wrote in The Cosmic Chess Match and predicted this a priori ? over a year ago. The plumed serpent-god, Quetzalcoatl was a no-show. The Mayan elders with their crystal skulls and kundalini serpent spirit, and secret rituals weren't able to bring him back. As I have stated here numerous times, the place to watch is Israel. There is only one God who calls out the beginning before the end and the end before the beginning. Only one and He is true. He has told us what will happen and it concerns the nation of Israel. Look to the mountains of Israel. Look to the prophecies of Ezekiel and Isaiah. RICHARD SHAW RICHARD GRUND NATALINA: LES MIZ REVIEW! DOUG HAMP TONY KAIL I would ask the New Agers to consider this; there is a God outside time and space who alone knows the future. He is loving and He cares for us. He does not demand the sacrifice that the Mayans engaged in, where over 50,000 humans were ritually sacrificed on the tops of their temples. He has sent His only begotten son to shed His blood once as remission for all the nasty stuff we human beings engage in. By asking Him for forgiveness, for all our nasty stuff, and believing on Him who was sent, we have eternal life. It is time for the New Agers to realize human beings cannot change without supernatural help. All we need to do is to look at the world around us to see this. We see war, slaughter, hatred, envy, strife, jealousy, murder, lying and every sort of "evil" manifesting like never before. There is no cosmic shift, or cosmic Christ. There is the real Christ - the anointed one - who stands at the door of every heart and knocks. Will you let Him in? He is the one true God and prophecy outlines this in mind-blowing detail. He is the one who changes us from the inside out and makes us into the men and women we should be. Being born again of the spirit is a life changing event. You need not travel to a far away place to experience it. All you need to do is ask and you shall receive. For those of you who are disillusioned with the New Age and the hoopla around the Mayan prophecy, there is the truth, the good news and it will set you free! L.A. December 21,2012 . From the Cosmic Chess Match! By L. A. Marzulli Chapter 31: Have we been deliberately set up through the centuries for a time such as this? Is this the endgame of the Fallen One? I have been on many talk shows this year and I’m most often asked what my thoughts are on the so called 2012 Mayan Calendar predictions. I have a term that I use for it and it this: “2012 is a self-fulfilling, staged, prophetic event.” This book started as a rebuttal to the 2012 hype that has gripped the Internet, TV, radio, and all forms of media! As I began to research the material it led me on a completely different trail of discovery and thought. As the saying goes one thing leads to another and this adage certainly was the case with The Cosmic Chess Match. Here is a scenario for your consideration. I believe that the Fallen One may have constructed an elaborate ruse in order to create what I would call his last great cosmic deception. He is the great imitator and is always trying to be like God, however, he falls short time after time. Let’s take some time to consider what may be the answer to the 2012 hype that has everyone speculating about what will happen. Before I do I want to tell you a brief story. While on a speaking tour I was staying at a hotel near the Denver Airport. Being hungry, I went to a restaurant across the street from the hotel. I was seated and when the waiter arrived I struck up a conversation – something I do when I’m alone on the road. I asked, “What do you make of all the news of the world.” He looked at me kind of funny and replied, “What do you mean?” “You know, the saber rattling in the Middle East, the weird weather patterns, the 7.0 earthquakes we seem to be having on a weekly basis.” “Oh yea, like that Nostradamus guy and the 2012 thing on the History Channel said would happen.” I nodded and said, yea, like him…. I tell you this to point out that the prophecies of Nostradamus and the Mayan calendar are more widely known than those of the Bible. It is, in fact, a sad state of affairs, when the doctrine of demons has usurped the place of the Word of God. It is, I believe, a sign of the days in which we are living. These days are unprecedented because we see from the exchange that I had with the waiter that he knew about Nostradamus and 2012 but not the prophecies that are contained in the Bible. I believe that the 2012 “prophecy” is a deliberate ploy by the Fallen One to insert his agenda and we will see from this review below how he carried out his plan. • The Fallen One sent his angels to destroy the bloodline of the Messiah and almost succeeded. (Genesis 6) • The Fallen One knew that the Israelites were going to go into the Promised Land which is why the Nephilim were there waiting for them. • The Fallen One sought to kill the Messiah because he used Herod – his antichrist at the time - to kill all the children two years old and younger. • When Jesus began his mission the Fallen One constantly plotted his demise and finally succeeded at Calvary only to have it blow up in his face. • Darwin, who I believe has done more to draw people away from the good news of the Bible, published his “theory” that negates creation by a holy God and thus sets up an intellectual and spiritual vacuum that can now be filled with “another gospel.” • When the Jews begin to trickle back into the Holy Land, the Fallen One raised up his man Hitler who killed six million Jews in an attempt to wipe them off the face of the earth and, thus, negate prophecy and prove God a liar and win the match. • Israel is born in a day and this sets the end-time prophetic clock ticking because the Fallen One, Satan, will come with all signs and lying wonders. So here we are almost two years away from the 2012 date. Here are the some headlines spanning from December 15, 2010, to the present. I’m going to list them so that at a glimpse we will be able to see the state of the world in which we live. (These were taken from my blog.) Middle East War - Mexican Drug Wars - North Korean Nukes - Suicide Bomber Blows Up 58 People - Israel Nukes - Partial-birth Abortion - WIKILEAKS - Vatican Sex Scandal - TERROISTS… - Bernie Madoff’s Son Hangs Himself - Iran Nukes - Weird Weather - UFOs Are Sighted Every 10 Minutes - Foreclosures All Time High - Don’t Read WIKI-leaks - BANKFAILURES 151 - Americans Worse off Now - Last Days - Secret Banking Elite - New World Order - Kennedy Assassination - Swine Flu - British Students Riot in the Street - Hackers bring down Government - Missing Radioactive Material - Jerusalem Eternal Capital of Israel - Sand, Snow & Thunderstorms in the Middle East - Suicide Bomber Blasts 58 Dead - Hezbollah – - 1,800 Missiles to Venezuela - Mexican Drugs Arrive by Submarine - Global Warning - UFOs… - Volcano Erupts - No More Antibiotics - EMP Bomb - Imbedded Microchips… - Paris Hilton - Iran Conducts Military Drill - Prince William to Get Married - Japanese Earthquake 9.1 - Children Hostages Freed - Global Financial Meltdown - End Times - Global Hunger - 7.2 Earthquakes - Trillion Dollar Opium Harvest in Afghanistan - States Rights - Iraq War - Obama at All Time Low - Federal Reserve… - Oil at $110.00… - Harvesting Body Parts from Abortions - Implants - Locusts Plague Australia… - Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami The above headlines should shock us all because they show us just how out of control things are on this planet of ours. I could have listed many more headlines, but I think the list is a fair portrayal of how desperate times are. The headlines above point to what I believe are the specific signs of the end of the age, the last days, and the end times. The Fallen One is about to execute his long-in-planning end game. Here is what I think it is, and I will admit once again that it is speculation on my part. Here is a short story that will illustrate the point I’m trying to make. I have a friend who lives in Virginia. He has a neighbor who likes to cause trouble. The guy is a nut case. He enjoys harassing the neighbors around him and most likely gets a perverse sort of pleasure out of his antics. Here’s what I mean: a few years ago he parked one of his cars in front of my friend’s house… and left it there. It was deliberate because if my friend called the cops and complained about the car being left there he would have been engaging in his neighbor’s “game,” which was precisely what the nut case desired. If he did nothing and allowed the car to sit there, the nut case neighbor won again because he had effectively invaded his space. No matter what my friend did he “lost.” While this might seem like a harmless example and more of a nuisance, it is exactly the way the Fallen One plays. In regard to 2012 You may remember the chapter I did on the Maya and how they engaged in human blood sacrifice. This was a deliberate act on the part of the Maya because they knew it would put them in contact with their “gods.” More than 70,000 human beings were sacrificed in these satanic, ritualistic, blood sacrifices. You may also recall that I suggested that the Fallen One has a different time/ space perspective then we do. Is it possible that the Fallen One deliberately set the 2012 so-called prophecy in motion? Here’s what I think. The false 2012 prophecy ( I call it that because that is what it is) is a distraction because it draws people away from Biblical prophecy. Added to this is it sets people up in the same way the nut case neighbor does. If you believe in 2012 and nothing happens then you “loose” because nothing happened. You wasted your time and were sucked into the ruse. (A good example of this is the Y2K scare that happened at the dawn of the new millennium. Nothing happened except that the entire world was linked together electronically. How do you spell deliberate?) If by chance something happens on December 22, 2012, then you “lose” because you didn’t pay attention. Either way it’s a no-win situation. However, I believe that 2012 has served its purpose already and that is to call people’s attention from what is really going on. In that respect, it’s accomplished its task because millions are waiting to see what will happen. Meanwhile, real, Biblical prophecy is beginning to manifest all around us. As we saw in Chapter 6 when we discussed Job, the Fallen One could affect the weather because he sent a “great wind” that destroyed the house of Job’s sons and daughters. Is it possible that the sudden rise of 7.0 earthquakes in 2010 is, to put it in military parlance, a softening of the objective? The natural disasters are now so frequent and devastating that we can no longer keep relief efforts up with them. Is all of this in preparation for the final, desperate move of the “rematch?” We know from the Book of Revelation that Satan is cast down to earth and he’s really ticked off because he knows his time is short. In other words, he no longer has access to what was once his domain, the second heaven. It is the time known as the time of Jacob’s Trouble. It is a time in which… unless those days were shortened, no flesh would survive. These words spoken by Yashua/Jesus almost two thousand years ago should serve as a sober reminder that there is coming a time when His words will be fulfilled. It is a desperate time, a troublesome time, a time when a third of the planet is destroyed, when men will faint from fear from what is coming on the earth, when every island and mountain will be moved out of place. Unless those days were shortened no flesh would survive. WATCHERS 5 - LET ME IN! GO TO WWW.LAMARZULLI.NET ORDER NOW! R i c h a r d S h a w ! No Longer Just Black or White Richard Shaw As most of you know, L.A. and I are always researching the UFO phenomena. Because of that, we are both exposed to some of the most brilliant experts in the field which include scientists, professors, theologians, rabbis, and others that embrace the fact that we are being visited. There is a mountain of evidence accumulating that the number of people that don’t know it’s happening are probably watching football instead of observing any of the things going on around us. Even the media seems to be reporting on it a bit more, since the facts are unavoidable. However, the alien / UFO phenomena that we are now experiencing has also been happening for the past 60 years. We seem to be reaching some sort of climax. We are also being bombarded with more critical evidence, such as alien implants, measurable electromagnetic fields after a visitation, and many other paranormal events. This might include things like the ground -- the actual dirt itself -- catching on fire after a craft has left the area, trees and other non-ferrous materials becoming magnetized (and measurable), alien fingerprints left that glow in the dark, blue dye found in the carpet with no common dye ingredients, missing time, bright lights, and the abduction experience. This just scratches the surface. Last night I was invited to a screening of a new film called “The Hidden Hand.” The film is perhaps the most in depth study on the UFO experience I have ever watched, mostly because of the large number of people in the film who are experts in the field, or people that relate their abduction experiences. We are gradually gaining insight on the fact that aliens themselves are not predictable, are not always evil, and do not all look the same. There are various species that have apparently manifested on earth. It seems abundantly clear as well that nearly all of these creatures are inter-dimensional beings, if not all of them. We are at a distinct disadvantage because of this. What also has become startlingly clear, is how handicapped we all are in our knowledge and grasp of the subject, and how outclassed we are in comparison to any of these ET’s abilities. Common to these experiences is the ability to communicate telepathically, and that we are easily outdone by the strength of their thoughts -- something that seems indicated in one example after another in the Bible where prophets were rendered unconscious at the presence of angelic beings. As we progress in our scientific knowledge about the whole alien agenda, we can see striking parallels between the scriptures and what many who have had a close encounter can relate. The new revelations are troubling to some, because we can no longer pigeon-hole all “ETs” as evil fallen angels. Gary Stearman’s account of his Cessna being carefully landed, and other accounts where there has been civil communication seems to indicate that some of these beings aren’t all bad. However, they all have the same abilities -- the good ETs and the evil ETs. This study is NOT a religion or a cult, but trying to put together all the evidence we can for a number of reasons. I have a problem with the idea that God made a Universe that is wholly filled with evil beings. In Genesis, it is written that after everything God made, “he saw that it was good.” The character of God is to give all His creatures complete liberty and freedom to do whatever they wish, whether good or evil. At some point, God seems historically to let it go on until He has had enough, and then wipes it all out and starts over again. The earth seems to have been destroyed and remade a number of times. God also seems to involve his angels in carrying out various tasks. As we start getting a grasp of the interdimensional powers these beings have, it would seem that few things are above their capabilities. Yet, the scriptures tell us that someday we will have a similar body. This is why I am not in favor of developing nanobot robots that could be injected into our bloodstream, or alien implants where humans are told they’ll get an improved body if they agree to one. That would be a big mistake, because it’s living as if this life is all that there is, and putting too much value in the flesh itself. We can assume that these angels are all walking around in heaven, or we might wonder if some of them are powerful beings that live in nearby galaxies, not fettered by any lack of transportation to these places, and not having to wait for light years to get from one place to another. Our method of transportation -- that of squirting fire out of the back of an aluminum tube -- seems ridiculous in comparison. Apparently, they can warp space and time to their own choosing and get anywhere they need to go by merely thinking about it. How many NDE’s have you read where someone experiencing their new body could merely fly from one place to another by thinking about it, or some that related traveling to distant planets via thought? The world is indeed at a point where we are either worried that a war is coming, or one is always going on somewhere in the world. Syria is moving their chemical weapons arsenal. We know that Israel won’t allow this, in case some of these weapons end up controlled by Hamas or Hezbollah. Our timing and best indicator is what happens to Israel, and as these things gradually get worse and worse, the year of 2013 may prove to be a year of decisions for the United States, Israel, and the rest of the world. I was sitting with Steve Colbern last night. Steve is the scientist that has been evaluating the alien implants that Dr. Leir removes. (He appears in Watchers 5). We started talking about the idea of some of the biblical “angels” as being here on order, like the story of Lot where Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed. Apparently, when the USSR dissolved, there was an expedition to Sodom and Gomorrah and they began a dig in the area. We know that fire destroyed the city, and we know the story leading up to that moment. The scientists from the former Soviet Union dug down to the 135 foot level, at which they immediately closed it up and ran. The hole was radioactively hot and dangerous. Could so-called “alien” beings have detonated a nuke over the city? There have been reports of “green glass” found in the area, a tell-tale sign of the heat of a detonation. Could our understanding of who these angels were have been colored by thousands of years of language barriers? We don’t know how, but the book of Enoch relates that God is constantly giving instructions to every corner of the universe simultaneously. It makes sense that an order went out to destroy the city, and whoever these entities were, they followed those orders to the letter while showing compassion to Lot and his family. That is something that the grays, and other aliens that abduct people don’t show -- that being Love. It’s one way of knowing the difference. The Crop Circle Dilemma RICHARD SHAW Are benign entities leaving us messages in fields all over the world? Richard Shaw I’ve been following crop circles now for many years. If you’ve also been interested in the phenomena, you already know that the vast majority of them seem to form in the UK, in fields that are often monitored today by multiple surveillance cameras. Stories of these circles have been around for many years, and their formation has puzzled experiencers and researchers, with huge and expansive circles seemingly formed in but a few seconds. We know that the wheat, or whatever crop that is used, is often bent, but not broken -- in a way that seems to indicate heating like a microwave oven at a very small spot. Often, tiny metallic balls are found in the dirt under the plants, and the next season of crops planted in the same soil are often colored so that you can see an afterimage of the previous circle’s appearance. Even more interesting was the crop circle that formed only about 50 miles away from one of LA Marzulli’s lectures in Ohio. This crop circle was formed in the U.S. in a CORN field, and the stalks of were precisely bent at different heights so that a 3-dimension crop circle was formed. Oddly, corn fields are so dense that no one noticed this particular crop circle until an airplane flew over it. Plus, have you ever tried to bend a corn stalk? It’s pretty hefty. Even so, I have been perplexed at the number of people that still don’t know anything about crop circles. The speed of their formation, or the messages they seem to imply are undeniably one of the most bizarre occurrences of this and the last century. I had once written John Lear, (son of the famous inventor William Lear who invented the Lear jet, who also sat on the infamous “Majestic 12” board formed in 1947) about crop circles, puzzled that so many people don’t seem to give them a thought. When I mentioned this, he replied, “Crop circles are alien propagated and contain messages for humanity the purpose of which are only known to them.” I tend to agree with that assessment. There are many people who believe in what crop circles are trying to say, to the point where some believe that we are have made contact and are getting mathematical messages, formulas, solar system maps, and greetings from ETs from possible far away galaxies. We even received a reply to one of the symbols in the Voyager spacecraft, a mathematical answer that should dispel any idea that it was done with boards and rope late at night by college kids. SETI, (the Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) is referred to by Dr. Leir comically as “Silly Effort to Investigate,” since evidence of UFOs and other intelligence is currently blatantly displayed all over the world, and you don’t even need an array of 10-meter radio telescopes to find them. A simply audition of Jaime Maussan’s UFO TV show out of Mexico would reveal so many UFO sightings, unexplainable events, orbs, and craft only visible by using infrared cameras that you’d have enough material to study for years. This is of course if you also disregard actual physical evidence such as alien implants, landing sites (these are often punctuated by high magnetic fields, dirt that spontaneously combusts, and other remnants of a visitation if someone happens to be close enough to experience it). And finally, crop circles. These physical signs can’t be ignored, (they’re too big!) and it is my opinion that SETI is merely yet another governmental coverup, wrapped in an agenda that seems credible, when actually it appears to be a ridiculous waste of time to use archaic radio technology to listen for entities as advanced as the inter-dimensional ones apparently visiting the earth. Some would say that they’ve always been here, and are inter-dimensional rather than extra-terrestrial. The public is constantly duped into believing ridiculous stuff that our government portrays as fact. However, all that seems to be wearing thin as people gradually get used to the idea that alien life is not an impossibility. I sat in on an impressively well-done UFO film that Dr. Leir was involved in called “The Hidden Hand.” The topic of crop circles was approached, (along with all the credible evidence we are seeing today) and after the movie there was a discussion where no one could ascertain whether crop circles were benevolent or benign, and most opinions were that why would an alien being make these lovely patterns for evil purposes? Yet, the audience was surprisingly hip enough to realize that not all ET’s are good, and that many people have been literally terrorized by them. Stories of abductions and implants persist, even in small children. But, crop circles remain as an enigma to art, science, and the paranormal. One of the most startling crop circles with solar system information in it is known as the Avebury Crop circle, which seemed to indicate that in 2012 the planetary alignments would reveal another body entering our solar system from the edge. This enormous circle was etched in 2008. It was studied intensely for years by various researchers and scientists. It appeared on the cover of Marshall Master’s book, “Crossing the Cusp,” revealing his theories about Planet X and its possible appearance in 2012. Well, so far we haven’t seen it and the only sightings have been from amateur cameramen in other countries, shooting with nonprofessional equipment and therefore providing us with dubious photographic evidence. Many of these videos are difficult to refute, until you do your own study with various cameras and lenses, such as we did in Watchers 5. I got tired of looking at images with all kinds of poor photography, lens flare, and “planets” that moved as the cameraman used his zoom motor. We were able to prove that all kinds of reflections can occur when you’re shooting the sun. That a DSLR with a piece of welder’s glass over the lens provided an accurate assessment of the sun, while an iPhone 4s shooting through the same piece of glass produced a “second sun” effect. Many of this type of camera anomaly can be found on the ZetaTalk website, whose predictions of doom seem to always be part of their agenda. They occasionally put up some interesting information. Please don’t get me wrong. I believe that the theory of Planet X could be factual. I’ve read Velikovsky’s book and find it very convincing in a scientific way, (Einstein gave it the nod) but I don’t believe we can predict when it will arrive -- or if it would even be in our lifetime. I believe other events have to happen first. The famous Avebury circle, pictured above, shows the relative position of the planets in December 2012, (as I’m writing this article). For some reason, the paranormal nature of this evidence drew in many who are involved in Channeling, (talking to the spirit world) as well as New Agers who believed that we are about to enter a new dimension, or that a shift was about to occur in consciousness. Perhaps we have had a shift in our awareness, only because we’ve been noticing so many changes in the earth and the heavens. Some of us are starting to “get it” that as Marzulli would say, “is this business as usual?” However, the year 2012, and I’ll reference L.A.’s recent blog, seems to have eclipsed the Biblical scriptures which are far more accurate than what we’ve gotten from these crop circles or all the hoopla about 2012. In fact, these entities seemed to have tipped their hand, by reference that nothing has happened in Dec. 2012 to indicate that the data in the crop circles contain relevant data at all, other than we’re being visited by entities that like to play with our emotions. Does one false crop circle mean they’re all false? I would give it low probability that anything as dramatic as the end of the world would be portrayed accurately in ANY crop circle. However, I am still amazed, dumbfounded and awestruck both by their design and by the majority of people on the earth that simply ignore them. I never thought that in the End of Days, people would become so lackadaisical as they are today. A civilization that is mostly asleep and doesn’t really care. Isn’t that amazing?? Could our controlled media actually be that effective, that Linsay Lohan’s antics would be more interesting to people than serious matters of alien intervention in our time? She’s always in the news, all the time. Are we really that moronic to want to know if she’s been arrested again or moving to New York? Can’t say I blame her. In the news, it appears that she gets better ratings than Fallen angels, as well as possibly other entities yet to become known. Could Crop Circles be one way that malevolent entities tie up the world by creating fear and a certain kind of anxiousness that the earth is about to be destroyed? Well, for thousands of people, yes, that is the actual result of believing in this particular crop formation. Meanwhile, the scriptures seem to be very clear on what events are supposed to happen, and even in some detail as evidenced in Matthew 24 in the New Testament. Also, there are so many scriptures about the End of Days, detailing what is to happen, that an ongoing study would provide us with far more interesting information than the sum total of crop circles for the past 20 years, which is a significant number. They have been mentioned in academic texts since the 17th century, and have gotten far more complex in recent years. Yet, oddly, the events that occur around Israel seem to peg the times in which we are living because of events now happening that are in complete agreement with scriptures like Psalm 83, or Isaiah 17, the latter describing the destruction of Damascus which is no small stretch to imagine as Scud missile rain down on her. This has never happened before to Damascus, so there seems to be a time signature for that event, and others, that are happening now even though the mainstream media does a lousy job of reporting it. Finally, I have been working on another project we called “Torah Code 2012.” The idea wasn’t to prove 2012 was valid, but if it was actually in the Torah Codes. The fact is, yes, it was.

Hi, I just wanted to say thank you for your watchers series as well as the messengers of deception! I watched you on Sid Roth and had wanted to watch your video's for some time now, so I ordered them. They really answered a lot of questions I had about the many deceptions going on and how satan uses all these different people to push his agenda. The way you teach about the new age and other deceptions makes it very easy to spot now, which is awesome!!!! The Lord has given you a very needed ministry to keep the eyes of His children open and watching in this crazy time we live in! Thanks again! God Bless Karen W. D o u g H a m p ! Part II Daniel’s Interpretation of Jeremiah’s 70 Years In 606 B.C., the Neo-Babylonian King, Nebuchadnezzar the Second, came to Jerusalem and took away a portion of its inhabitants captive to Babylon for failure to pay the necessary tribute. This first deportation in 606 B.C. was followed by another in 597 B.C. and then a third, which culminated in the destruction of Jerusalem in 586 B.C.. During this time, the prophet Jeremiah was acting as the voice of the Lord toward a rebellious people. In spite of the tremendous castigation falling on His people, God gave Jeremiah a word of encouragement. And this whole land shall be a desolation and an astonishment, and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. “Then it will come to pass, when seventy years are completed, that I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the land of the Chaldeans, for their iniquity,” says the LORD; “and I will make it a perpetual desolation. So I will bring on that land all My words which I have pronounced against it, all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah has prophesied concerning all the nations.” (Jeremiah 25:11-13, emphasis mine) God Himself says that He would set them free after seventy years. There are two important things to notice here. There is absolutely no question that the Judeans went into captivity – that is established historical fact. There is also no question that in 539 B.C. Cyrus the Great conquered Babylon and then three years later, in 536 B.C. the Jews were allowed to return to Jerusalem to begin rebuilding the Temple – both are historical facts. Daniel’s Understanding of the 70 Years In Daniel chapter nine, we see that Daniel, a biblical writer, interprets Jeremiah’s prophecy for us. He sets the stage by telling when in history this chapter occurs: “In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the lineage of the Medes, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans” (Daniel 9:1). It is established historical fact that Darius the Mede existed and was governor over Babylon. Daniel then tells us that he was reading the prophet Jeremiah, who had written approximately seventy years earlier: “in the first year of his reign I, Daniel, understood by the books the number of the years specified by the word of the LORD through Jeremiah the prophet, that He would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem” (Daniel 9:2, emphasis mine). Here we have Daniel interpreting the prophecy of Jeremiah in unmistakable terms – he understood from the prophet Jeremiah that God would keep His people in Babylon for seventy literal years. Daniel does not try to look for a hidden message as to what God meant by seventy years or punishing Babylon, he assumes it to be literal. And judging from history, we can conclude that was indeed the case. Exactly seventy years after the first deportation, the Jews were allowed to return to Jerusalem. Moved by the nearness of the fulfillment of prophecy, Daniel sets his face “toward the Lord God to make request by prayer and supplications, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes. And I prayed to the LORD my God, and made confession…” (Daniel 9:3) Daniel confesses the sins of his people to the Lord, acknowledging that they have not sought God’s face and have received exactly what they deserved although God would be gracious enough to restore them after seventy years. He then confirms that the curse given in Deuteronomy was 100% literally fulfilled through the destruction of Jerusalem. “But it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you […] The LORD will send on you cursing, confusion, and rebuke in all that you set your hand to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, because of the wickedness of your doings in which you have forsaken Me.” (Deuteronomy 28:15, 20) It was not just true in a spiritual sense, but came to pass in a very real and literal sense, at least as far as Daniel was concerned. He in no way intimated that the curses were mere spiritual consequences of not following God, but that they were specific to the nation of Israel exclusively and that they had been completely fulfilled. “Yes, all Israel has transgressed Your law, and has departed so as not to obey Your voice; therefore the curse and the oath written in the Law of Moses the servant of God have been poured out on us, because we have sinned against Him. As it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come upon us; yet we have not made our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities and understand Your truth.” (Daniel 9:11, 13) The Chronicler Agreed Daniel’s comments are extremely important for the question of our method of interpretation. Daniel was much closer to and was a part of the writing of the Old Testament – less than seventy years after Jeremiah, less than two hundred from the time of Isaiah. His own writings are also considered canonical, inspired, and authoritative. If he took such writings as literal and straightforward, how much more should we? The literal interpretation of Daniel regarding Jeremiah’s prophecy is also shared by the writer of 2 Chronicles in extremely plain language: And those who escaped from the sword he [Nebuchadnezzar] carried away to Babylon, where they became servants to him and his sons until the rule of the kingdom of Persia, to fulfill the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her Sabbaths. As long as she lay desolate she kept Sabbath, to fulfill seventy years. Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and also put it in writing, saying, Thus says Cyrus king of Persia: All the kingdoms of the earth the LORD God of heaven has given me. And He has commanded me to build Him a house at Jerusalem which is in Judah. Who is among you of all His people? May the LORD his God be with him, and let him go up! (2 Chronicles 36:20-23, emphasis mine) The author of Chronicles emphatically stresses the point that after seventy years God freed his people just as Jeremiah predicted. There obviously was no question in the mind of the writer that this prophecy was fulfilled completely and literally. What we have here is merely one of countless examples of where numbers in the Bible are not given just to draw out a spiritual truth, which one would do using the allegorical method but rather they are used literally. Undoubtedly, many clever meanings could be assigned to the number seventy. For example, certain Bible commentators have suggested that seven is the perfect number and ten represents completeness. Therefore, we could say that seventy is the This interpretation sounds rather erudite and perfect number of completion. sophisticated. It might even “minister” to people’s hearts. In fact, there is no way to argue that the number seventy doesn’t mean that. Maybe it is the number of “perfect completion”. This interpretation, however, is nothing more than the product of my imagination. The problem with applying the allegorical method of interpretation to the Bible is that it leaves interpretation up to the imagination of the Bible commentator rather than the interpretation being drawn out of the Bible through the textual, historical, and linguistic constraints. Interpreting Literary Genre The above examples certainly provide weighty evidence in favor of a literal method of interpreting the Bible. However, there are passages in Scripture, which should not be taken literally. Consider Isaiah’s beautiful line, "For you shall go out with joy, and be led out with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth into singing before you, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands” (55:12). Isaiah is using a literary form known as personification because I doubt that he, or God, intended to mean that the literal mountains would start singing or that the trees would actually take their branches and start clapping. Nevertheless, although he is using poetic language, the truth that he is telling is going to be very real. And when it happens, even creation, in a sense, will rejoice just as Paul alluded to in Romans 8:22. Thus, we recognize the literary genre, but still understand the real and accurate message it is conveying. What is Meant By Literary Genre? There are, broadly speaking, two literary genres (classes) in the Bible: prose and poetry. Prose simply means that the author is speaking in normal every-day language and is not attempting to speak poetically. Newspapers, history books and even most emails employ prose, also known as narrative. Prose, however, contains many figures of speech, metaphors, similes and the like. We can talk about the sun going down or hungry as a horse – both figures of speech that communicate a simple message; it is getting dark and I am hungry, respectively. In English there exist at least 440 animal sayings that we employ in our every-day language.2 Expressions such as you’re barking up the wrong tree or it’s raining cats and dogs are certainly metaphors since my conversation partner is not truly outside barking at a tree in the park! Rather, I am using the metaphor to convey a real message: you have got the wrong idea. Likewise none of us has actually seen cats and dogs fall from the sky, it simply means that it is raining very hard. These expressions are considered prose and not poetry, which is defined as speaking or writing in such a manner where a particular rhyme, rhythm, cadence or some other form of dramatic language is used to communicate. Poetry in the Bible is occasionally marked making it easy to identify. Exodus 15:1 unmistakably states that a song (poetry) to the Lord is going to follow: “Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the LORD, and spoke, saying…” Interestingly, Exodus 15 is the poetic form of chapter 14 which was written in prose – that is, a plain straightforward kind of language. What we must not miss, however, is that both the prose account in chapter 14 and the poetic in 15 tell a true and historic account of what happened immediately prior in the departure from Egypt. Just because something is poetic does not mean that it is not also an accurate and historic account of what truly happened. Final Thoughts Concerning Biblical Interpretation We have seen that the biblical writers took God’s words at face value. The author of Genesis took God’s words about the eating of the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil as an event that had literal consequences. Moses was barred from entering into the Promised Land due to not obeying carefully, in every detail, God’s instructions – evidence that God spoke literally and not figuratively. Furthermore, both Daniel and the writer of Chronicles demonstrated their literal understanding of several Scriptures. Essentially, we have seen from just a few examples that the normal method of biblical writers (when reading other Scripture passages) was to take them literally. There are many other examples that could be examined such as the prophecies regarding the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus. Every believer fully accepts those passages as being literally fulfilled in the person of Jesus. Even if one were to reject Jesus as Lord, one could not reject that the New Testament writers understood Jesus to be the literal fulfillment of hundreds of passages. The literal understanding of a coming messianic, divine, supernatural figure was shared by numerous Jews during the period of the Second Temple in addition to the disciples of Jesus and was later affirmed by all of the ante-Nicene Church Fathers. They were looking forward to a figure that would come and bring salvation from sins through his righteousness and then usher in a new era of peace under his divine rule on earth. If the prophecies regarding the first coming of Christ were and are taken literally, what is different when it comes to any other topic in the Bible? In fact Basil, a church father of the fourth century to whom we owe the correct understanding of the Trinity in contrast to the Arian heresy, boldly declares that the literal is the only right method of interpretation of Scripture. Those who do not accept the Scriptures in their ordinary, common meaning, say that "water" is not water but something else; plants and fishes they interpret as they please; the creation of reptiles and wild beasts they explain in their own way, twisting it from the obvious sense as do the interpreters of dreams -- who give whatever meaning they choose to the images seen in sleep. As for me, when I hear the word "grass" I think of grass, and the same with plant, fish, wild beast, domestic animal. I take everything in the literal sense, for "I am not ashamed of the Gospel."

T o n y K a i l The Cult of Hate It’s hard to believe that only a month ago a lone gunman entered the doors of the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut and took the lives of over 20 children and adults. The citizens of Newtown still struggling to pick up the pieces after this horrific incident were recently faced with yet a secondary trauma. News reports claim that the infamous ‘Westboro Baptist Church ‘ released faxes to the public saying that the shooting was God’s punishment on the people of Connecticut because the state allows same-sex marriage. To further add insult to injury, Westboro Baptist Church members threatened to picket the funerals of the child victims of the shooting. As a researcher and trainer on extremist groups, I have been fascinated with the Westboro Baptist Church and their ability to continuously inflict emotional harm on the families of victims of shootings, assaults and wars. Most of us are familiar with the Westboro Baptist Church and their ‘in your face’ public protests using colorful signs that read ‘God hates Fags’ and ‘ Thank God for Dead Soldiers’. But who are these people? Where did they come from? First and foremost, I think it is important to note that the church is not affiliated with any recognized Baptist denomination such as the Southern Baptist Convention or the Baptist World Alliance. In fact, both of these large denominations have denounced the group as being representatives of the Baptist denomination. Secondly as we examine the fruits of the Westboro Baptist Church, there is very little evidence that the group or their practices are Christian or ‘Christ like’ at all. Westboro Baptist Church grew out of a Topeka Kansas based Baptist Church in 1931. Associate Pastor Fred Phelps served at East Side Baptist Church until he was called to preach at a new branch of the church called ‘Westboro Baptist Church’. One Phelps was made pastor, the Westboro Church broke ties with the East Side Baptist Church. Westboro teachings focus on the Calvinist approach to the doctrine of election. The group teachings state that there is only an elect few people who are going to be saved. Phelps began teaching his congregation about the dangers and threat of homosexuality. Phelps claimed that the reason that most of the world’s problems including war and disease are a result of homosexuality. Phelps began to take his fiery teachings into the streets picketing on street corners and sharing his ‘gospel’ of anti-gay rhetoric. In 1991, Phelps and his organization publically protested against a local city park where homosexual men were known to frequent. The group believes Biblical passages like Isaiah 58:1 as a motivation to their protests ‘Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet and show my people their transgression and the house of Jacob their sins’. The group soon began to protest funerals of gay men and women in an effort to gain media attention for their cause. Members of the church including Pastor Phelps daughter Shirley Phelps Roper a practicing attorney, began to appear on CNN and various news shows defending the teachings of the church. In 1996, Pastor Phelps led a protest in Washington D.C. at the United States Memorial Holocaust Museum to protest against Israel, even touting signs that said ‘God hates Israel’. In 1998, the group lobbied to have a monument built in a park in Casper Wyoming dedicated to Matthew Shephard, a young man murdered because he was gay. The group wanted the memorial to read ‘"Matthew Shepard, Entered Hell October 12, 1998, in Defiance of God's Warning: ‘Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind; it is abomination.' Leviticus 18:22." The group claimed that 9/11 was the result of God’s wrath on America. Westboro has since protested several funerals of American soldiers killed in Iraq. Fred Phelps has been quoted as saying "God is visiting the sins upon America by killing their kids with IEDs ... and the more the merrier." The group has now protested at over 40,000 events throughout the U.S. While the group itself has a lot of publicity power, there is very little outside support for this group. In fact, most of the organizations protests are met with mass counter-protests from civil rights groups and military support organizations. The group population itself is very small with only about 40 members that attend the actual church. However, the hate and rage that the group stirs up is immeasurable. I have no doubt that Satan is pleased that this group succeeds. As a Believer I think it is important that we pray for the Phelps. Pray for Westboro Baptist. Pray that the True God Jehovah will break through their hearts and strongholds to break their hearts. Pray that they will encounter the real Jesus Christ who brings fruits of love, peace and mercy to a sinful heart. Pray that the group will be turned away from those events where the broken hearted gather. Pray that men and women filled with the Holy Spirit will reach out to the Phelps and love them with the love of Christ. Pray that communities that are exposed to Westboro Baptist will be protected from their hate filled rhetoric. Pray that hate will not motivate hate among those like myself who are sickened of the activities of this cult. Let us protest their hate but campaign for their salvation and peace. • Amazon.com: Tony M. Kail: Books, Biography, Blog, Audiobooks, Kindle L. A.

G r u n d A few minutes before the North Pole reached its position furthest from the sun on Friday, a spotlight illuminated the western flank of the Temple of the serpent god Kukulkan, a 100-foot-tall pyramid at the heart of Chichen Itza. Tens of thousands of mystics, hippies and tourists celebrated in the shadow of the pyramid in southeastern Mexico on Friday December 21st. It is reported that more than 7,000 people visited the Tikal Temple in Guatemala site on that day. Mayan priests held ceremonies at the site as well as at other sites. By early afternoon Mexican authorities claimed that around 50,000 people visited Mexico’s main archaeological sites. Hundreds gathered at Bugarath, a small village in the foothills of the Pyrenees, as rumors of ritualistic suicides was being investigated by French Police. Although they feared an influx of doomsday believers journalists and partygoers outnumbered the survivalists. In Turkey, thousands of tourists flocked to Sirince, a picturesque village east of the Aegean to await the return of Noah's Ark on a nearby hill. They counted down from 10 and applauded when the vessel failed to appear and the world did not end. December 21st came and went with no fanfare or apparent activity. The media was shrieking the “Doomsday End of the World” scenario for months and setting our expectations to high levels. Over and over we were told that the world would end at the time of the Winter Solstice on December 21, 2012. Then dawn came and went on Friday the 21st and apparently it was a bust, a nonevent. The Huffington Post reported about the traumatic psychological letdown from people misunderstanding what was actually taking place. Even this article (Doomsday Psychology: Letdown May Be Traumatic for Mayan Apocalypse Believers 12/24/12) states clearly that “the Maya made no doomsday predictions”. Never letting a good apocalypse go to waste, Doomsday believers are now looking toward 2015 and a misinterpretation of the Mayan Calendar, according to Lorenzo DiTommaso, a professor of religion at Concordia University in Montreal. Or, is that a deception too? The question then becomes what, if anything happened on the 21st. Much was made of the planetary alignment on the internet. In my last article I explained, that at sunrise on December 21, 2012 for the first time in 26,000 years the Sun would rise into an alignment with the intersection of the Milky Way. Although commonly known as the Galactic Alignment the correct term for the event should really be the Galactic Conjunction’. Astronomical alignments usually refer to three celestial objects in a shared configuration. Astronomical conjunction, on the other hand, is an alignment of two cosmic objects or bodies as seen from the Earths perspective. To the Mayans and others who embrace these beliefs, this “cosmic cross” is considered to be an embodiment of the Sacred Tree, The Tree of Life - a tree remembered in all the world's spiritual traditions. This alignment would bring massive energy waves and particles which to supposedly impact our consciousness and have an even greater impact on our planet. This vortex of energy will bring enlightenment to the Universe. Some observers believe this alignment with the heart of the galaxy will open a channel for cosmic energy to flow through the Earth, cleansing it and all that dwells upon it, raising mankind to a higher level of vibration. As I mentioned in my last article, astronomers have used the Hubble telescope, and modern technology, to prove that the primitive Mayans were correct. How the Mayans had knowledge of this without computers and telescopes is a total mystery to the secular world. To those of us who study such things from a Spiritual perspective the only source of this deception are the fallen angels and their demonic offspring. It would also have been the fallen to inspire mankind to watch the stars for a message from them. This “cosmic cross” is a demonic message of an alignment not just of stellar bodies but of ethereal bodies with malicious intent. This “message” actually began much earlier than the 21st. The planetary alignment began on December 3rd in an exact position over the Pyramids at Giza. This event takes place once in 2,737 years. The planets lining up over the Pyramids at Giza are Mercury, Venus and Saturn. It is important to note that the year 2012 is not only the year the calendar system ends a major cycle but also includes a rare Venus conjunction. The Maya and other ancient calendar scholars would certainly have considered conjunctions of the sun and Venus very special. Venus holds a uniquely important place in the planetary mythology of these peoples. According to James Pritchard’s book, Ancient Near Eastern Texts Relating to the Old Testament (New Jersey: Princeton University Press, 1955), in ancient Mesopotamia the sparkling star was known as Inanna and Ishtar, her meaning was a paradox of duality and complexity. She (Venus) was known as both god and goddess of love and war, who could be wild and savage with violent or erotic behavior, or grieving and regretful, as she was when the human race was reduced to clay by the world flood. By placing this importance on Venus, and its apparent living activity, the fallen have tricked the unredeemed to help them in their dark agenda. There are only two or three well know myths that have a connection with the planet Venus. These tales are from the Romans, Mayans and Norse people who have passed them down through the centuries. The Romans were responsible for renaming the Grecian deity Aphrodite to Venus as well as naming the planet in her image. The Mayan population believed that Venus was the planet of warfare and followed its path carefully. They designed their houses to be aligned in the best positions, especially windows and doors, for viewing it. In Norse mythology it is thought that one of the volcano's on Venus is named after the golden haired and very beautiful Norse Goddess Sif. All of these pagan societies were tricked into taking their eyes off of the One who created the stars and placing them on the creation (fallen) who hid behind these stars. With built in programming for the release of demonic energy the fallen Watchers Genesis 6 taught mankind astrology so that they would have what they needed when they needed it. So, what happened not only on the 21st of December but in the entire month of December (the 12th month of 2012; 12 being the number of government or divine order)? I believe we witnessed a demonic misdirection and counterfeit manifestation by the enemy. To help prove this point let’s look at the meaning of the primary focus of those involved – the planet Venus. Look at this quote from a New Age astrology site about the planet Venus – “Venus seeks gratification, pleasure and fulfilment. She will give affirmation and success in war or love because her aim is to manifest it .......to make it happen - whatever that is. Venus understands the beauty of form, possession and manifestation.” (The Meaning of the Venus Transit in June 2012 by UK astrologer and author Alison ChesterLambert). Listen to another opinion of this author – “Venus represents women and particularly the priestesses of the temple who were there to initiate men.” So, we have an alignment and influence of a planet that is meant to heal and destroy, liberate sexually in a position of authority over men and inspire wild, violent behavior. The ultimate goal here by the fallen is found in the quotes above – manifestation. The Mayan Misdirection, as I’ve called it, has been an agenda of manifestation. For the most part, the world and the church have spent their time looking at the “doomsday” misdirection while ignoring the manifestations all around us. We’ve already seen the manifestation of the duality of sexuality and the destruction of the Biblical model of marriage in 2012. Have we seen any other manifestations in 2012 that tie into this misdirection? I believe that we have and it has lined up almost exactly with this time frame whereby this alignment would take place. Let me share a personal experience that led me to the position I share in this article. On Thursday night the 20th I was guest, along with Russ Dizdar, on L.A. Mazulli’s show to discuss our stand down orders from the Lord regarding our trip to Chichen Itza. After the show was over I finished some work and began to wind down. As I got ready for bed at 11 pm I entered my bedroom to be greeted by an unusual sight. All three of my dogs were cowering in fear at the foot of my bed. One of my dogs sleeps outside the bedroom and keeps vigil all night long. He was pushed up against the foot of the bed and when his eyes met mine I saw abject fear in them. The other two dogs that sleep next to our bed were literally pushed up against each other against the bottom of the bed frame with the same look in their eyes. Doing what I do for the Kingdom of God we do get “visitations” from time to time but in all of the years of serving the King I’ve only seen this kind of fear once or twice and it usually indicates something very powerful and malevolent is present. To discern the spirit I was dealing with I closed my eyes to pray and asked the Holy Spirit to allow me to see what I was dealing with. As I began to get a glimpse into the spirit I saw something that startled me even more than the sight of my fearful pets. I saw demonic spirits cowering in fear from something in the darkness. The sense I immediately got was that whatever was frightening my pets also had their attention. And, they were overwhelmingly afraid of it. Both their reaction, and what my dogs were sensing, indicated to me this was a presence we have not seen before. So, I stood in the center of my home and prayed in my prayer language against whatever was causing this. I did not believe it was present in my home but was projecting its presence from somewhere else. After 20 minutes of nonstop prayer the heaviness broke and I turned to see one dog asleep in his regular spot outside the bedroom and the other two comfortably asleep in their familiar positions. The next morning I was up in time to pray during the winter solstice and the actual event going on in Chichen Itza Mexico. Although many people erroneously thought the event had to do with the date worldwide it had to do with the timing of the winter solstice at the Temple of Kulkulkan. While I was under my prayer shawl praying I saw something very specific in the spirit. I saw a barren area of rock. It was dark. There were no people there so I know it was not at Chichen Itza. As I watched the area of rock in front of me I saw it crack open. The crack was only inches long and a quart inch wide. When the fissure stopped expanding I saw a black, glimmering mist ooze out of the crack and disappear into the air. Satisfied that the vision was over I came out from under my tallit and prayed for understanding. I still do not know what it was that escaped from the opening. I believe that I was being shown that something did come through someplace else. Maybe Chichen Itza was a diversion or one of the 1000s of other sacred sites were chosen by the fallen instead. I believe that whatever it was came through undetected and all but ignored except for the view that the Lord gave to me. Although it wasn’t their “god” Quetzalcoatl returning in all his glory something else slipped into this reality. It was helped by the worldwide rituals being done for this event. Thousands of people offered it their energy, their attention and even their spiritual adoration, as seen by those kneeling at the base of the Temple of Kulkulkan, in an offering the fallen were counting on. Added to that was the lack of interest or understanding of the majority of the so called church who either ignored or mocked the event. Countless posts on social media erroneously used the scripture from Matthew 24:36 as proof the Mayan prophecy was wrong and to be ignored. And that is just what the fallen wanted you to do. Misdirection does not work unless they get your focus down the wrong road. Their intent was to get your focus off of their original objective to release something into this reality. That was the “manifestation” they were working toward since June of 2012. If you don’t believe me do a search on the crimes that took place since then. Narrow it down and just look at the fear, violence and blood spilled in December alone. Oh, and what none of the Internet prophets or doomsday profiteers told you was that the 12/21/12 event was just the opening act for something that quietly, without fanfare, culminates in 2013. Look at this announcement from the Mayan elder Hunbatz Men. As you read it you will see a covert indoctrination and demonic impartation has taken place during this doomsday misdirection: Solar Initiates : May the Great Father Sun be with you when you receive this e-mail. I am much honored to inform all the initiates from all over the world that I feel really happy for having participated in the gathering of the Council of World Elders 2012 that was held in Germany. Now any initiate can go to any sacred temple and he or she will be welcomed by the teacher whose temple they have chosen in the corresponding country. This way, every new initiate that decides to take the initiatic pathway of any spiritual culture from all over the world, will be honored. We must understand that the Great Spirit chose many sites all over the world to be talked about. In this New Age every initiate must visit the sacred temples all over the world where the word of the Great Spirit will be present and in each one of these temples the initiates are going to receive the key of wisdom that comes from our universal creator. Now in this upcoming cycle of 5,125 years, all human beings will have to travel and visit many of these sacred temples in order to understand the Great Spirit that will spread his wisdom from the cosmos. Message from the Council of World Elders www.council-of-world-elders.de Solar Initiates : May the Great Father Sun be with you when you receive this e-mail. It is a great honor for me to inform you that we have created a special program called MAYA CALENDAR ASTRONOMY FROM LOL BE TO MANKIND. This program teaches u show the ancient Mayas interpreted the cosmic time. During this program MAYA CALENDAR ASTRONOMY FROM LOL BE TO MANKIND we are going to reveal important astronomic information which can be seen on May 24 when the sun passes by the zenith of Lol Be on the beginning of its journey to the north of our planet. It will take 28 days in reaching the Tropic of Cancer and another 28 days in returning to the zenith of Lol Be. This astronomic phenomenon will be seen again in our astronomic center at Fundación Cultural Maya Lol Be next May 24, 2013 at 1 PM during our 7-day program in which we are going to impart this Maya wisdom. For further details about this issue, please access our web site: http://www.themayas.com.mx/maya_calendar_astronomy/index.htm May the Great Spirit be always with you. Hunbatz Men Tradición Maya Itzá No man or angel (fallen or Heavenly) or demon may know the day or the hour of the Lord’s Return and for that very reason the fallen will not quit in their efforts to have their followers ready for their return. They will trick their followers into following stars and planets that give the message that they want them to receive. This effort will need power to complete and they will manipulate events to give them that power. From the blood stained subway tracks in NYC, to the homeless woman set on fire in Los Angeles, to the slaughtered innocents in Newtown, Connecticut, to the 4000 babies aborted today alone and 124,000 ritualistic sacrifices for the month to the numerous other events that release a demonic energy into this reality we see one thing very clearly – fear, destruction, blood and chaos has led to their real agenda which is manifestation.

Psalm 25,Mary Fahey ___________________________________________________________________________ Hi LA, I just listened to your program to find that you, Russ, and Richard did not go to Chichen Izta. A friend sent me the link to the audio from tonight just minutes after I had sent a donation towards your trip. I have to say that I was relieved to hear that you weren't going. It was beyond me why they would want well-known Christians there. I thought perhaps because it's well-known that you believe in the Nephilim, or that you are well-known Christians, or that there was a trap being laid - possibly and likely spiritually. I couldn't shake the latter possibilities as being closer to the truth. The Lord knew that I would find out that you weren't going until AFTER I made the donation. So He obviously has a purpose as to where His money was going ;-) It was rather eerie that there was a program on TV while I was listening to the audio with the three of you: Maya Underworld: The Real Doomsday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0sJ8oUP40U While there was talk of the tortures of the sacrificial victims, the screen on the television showed skeletal remains inside some sort of ritual sacrificial well. I wasn't listening, as I was listening to your program with the headphones on. They stated on the NG program that there were children's remains amongst the watery grave as it was being explored, one of which appeared to be no more than 8 years old, depicting frontal cranial damage just as he (Russ? Richard?) had stated the process. Gruesome. Stay safe, and God bless! Deborah Onyschuk LA, The people that truly love you and your wife and believe in your ministry will be with you. As I have mentioned in the past; you have a specific calling ................I never felt that the spirit would take you into the "belly of the beast". Weather was bad in Cedar Crest yesterday. My wife and I were able to watch the "Lecture Series" from start to finish. My heart was in despair ! The possibility that we could loose you in Mexico. That is what was on my heart just yesterday ! Now that I see you NOT going is a huge relief. I prayed for you on that trip and nothing came back to me........... As I have spoken to your wife in Albuquerque; I have been to Cancun 6 times and have never never had a desire to enter into Chichen Itza. God was protecting me then and is watching over you now. We Love you both very much. God's blessing, Charlton and Erlinda __________________________________________________________________________ Mr. Marzulli, Are people readying themselves, their family's, etc., for the looming crisis? You travel widely and meet a great many people. Is it your assessment that people (believers, in the church of Jesus Christ) are connecting to each other in order to help each other and be helped by each other? I'm seeing the likely possibility that catacomb life may become the norm. I have a family with acute special needs. Few people can "see around the corner" and even fewer understand the call for all followers of Jesus Christ to be "Samaritans." My door is always open but, as a father and husband, my primary focus is on my family. One of the worst aspects of the coming persecution will be the isolation from the normal existential anchors, including neighbors, family, friends and the community at large. I send you this note in appreciation of your ministry and insights. Hearing what you and others are shouting has been a help for me in educating and preparing those I love. Unfortunately, I find little, if any agreement/understanding of the clear cut consequences of the apparent ignorance or indifference with those in the church and in my rather abbreviated circle of social and professional contacts. Press on. I look forward to your continued good work for our LORD. -Tyler __________________________________________________________________________________ L.A. I was sooooo glad to see you cancelled the trip to Chichen Itza. Myself & August Perez had talked of reservations we had about your trip from prayer...???? We felt a caution in the "Spirit"....!

The Eye Has It: Increasingly Bold Symbolism In Mainstream Entertainment By Natalina Hansen / http://extraordinaryintelligence.com I’ve always loved musicals. There’s something about the genre that is so pure and emotional. On stage or on screen, you’ll always find me in line, and I probably have the show-tunes memorized. This year, I was eagerly anticipating the release of Les Miserables on the big screen. I’ve been a fan of the musical since my college years when we sang its hits during a concert choir performance. It makes me cry, it lifts my spirit, and the forgiveness/redemption storyline has always resonated. On Christmas Day the movie was released. My best friend and I entered the packed theater and I was in tears before the movie really got started. The film didn’t disappoint. The acting was stellar and they stayed true to the heart of the story. But, when it came time for the barricade scene where the young French rebels engage in an uprising against authorities, something caught my eye. Suddenly, it was all I could stare at. My friend (who tends to think my conspiracy theories are just shy of lunacy) leaned over to me and whispered, “Wow. Maybe you’re right about that Illuminati stuff!” Here is what we saw: Yep. A big old eye staring back at us from the screen. This still image doesn’t begin to capture how overwhelming and distracting this huge eye was right behind the barricade. For scene upon scene it drew my attention away from the action in the foreground as I was captivated by this big... all seeing eye. It had no reason to be there. There was no explanation given. Just a single eye drawn very much in the same manner as those seen in Masonic artwork. Could it be that this was merely an innocent painting on a wall that had nothing to do with anything sinister? Sure. Do I buy that? No. I’ve spent a number of years researching the strange symbolism that appears repeatedly in pop culture. I’ve delved into the concepts of subliminal suggestion and occult name dropping in music and cinema. These things should no longer surprise me, and yet they do. Each passing month seems to bring a more and more bold outpouring of the evil forces behind the entertainment industry. So, am I paranoid? Am I delusional? Is my tinfoil hat on straight? Or is there something more happening here that we should not be ignoring? MUSIC I’ve written extensively on pop music’s current trend of hopelessness. It seems that no matter what we listen to on the radio, the message is the same. Live in the moment, dance until you’re dead, there might not be a tomorrow, and you’ll likely die young. During the 2011 MTV Music Awards, a relatively unknown rapper named “Tyler the Creator” won for best new song Yonkers. Upon watching the video, I was appalled. His pitch black eyes make him look demon possessed (think Black Eyed Kids). The lyrics to the song are horrific. He has upside down crosses on his fingers, and at the end of the video he explains that his conscience is dead, says that actions speak louder than words, then he says simply “Dead.” The video ends with Tyler putting a noose around his neck and hanging himself. This is the type of disturbing trash that passes as entertainment and wins awards. Full expose of the 2011 Awards can be seen here: 2011 Video Music Awards: Puppets on Parade During the 2012 Grammy awards, superstar Nicki Minaj performed the song Roman Holiday during which she spoke via one of her “multiple personalities”... in this case a young British boy named Roman. The entire performance was meant to look like one big exorcism, but rather than expelling demonic forces, the performance ended with Nicki levitating and screaming for her mother. The spectacle also included a group of people singing “O Come All Ye Faithful” in a creepy and sinister fashion. Full video of the performance can be seen here: Exorcism at the Grammys: Bizarre Nicki Minaj Performance Also in 2012, the infamous Lady Gaga released a new perfume called “Fame”, which she boasted in various interviews contained the essence of real blood and semen, not to mention Belladonna, better known as “deadly nightshade”. The list of abhorrent displays goes on and on, so when pop artist Ke$ha released her single “Die Young”, it seemed fitting for the trend. Prior to the release of the single, Ke$ha announced that her entire album was about her “spiritual journey” which lead her through things like past life regression and intimate sexual encounters with ghosts. When the video for “Die Young” finally came out, it was worse than I could have imagined. All seeing eyes, pyramids, upside down crosses, rituals, pentagrams, and more were on display. Here’s just a smattering of images I managed to grab from the screen during the video: See the full video and analysis of Die Young here: Die Young – Ke$ha’s Dark and Disturbing New Video “After such a tragic event I was feeling a lot of emotion and sadness when I said I was forced to sing some of the lyrics to Die Young. Forced is not the right word. I did have some concerns about the phrase “die young” in the chorus when we were writing the lyrics especially because so many of my fans are young and that’s one reason why I wrote so many versions of this song. But the point of the song is the importance of living every day to the fullest and staying young at heart, and these are things I truly believe.” I find it interesting that Ke$ha seems to be struggling here with an admission that she was not the sole force behind the song. Perhaps it is true that many pop stars are merely puppets of a larger cabal that is pushing its message on the populace via catchy tunes and flashy videos. FILM At this point, most of us know that when we see a single or isolated “eye” in pop culture (as shown in the Les Miserables images above), it likely is a shout out to the “eye of Horus”. The eye, pyramid, triangles in general, etc are part of commonly known Freemason symbolism and Masons are often equated with the Illuminati, who are often equated with the New World Order, which rightly is equated with Satan himself. But some movies don’t even bother to just drop hints at who they serve. Some films are simply blatant representations of the puppetry that happens between US and THEM. Never have I suffered through a film more bold in this regard than “The Cabin in the Woods”. While I’d certainly not recommend this film to anyone due to its extreme violence and utter unpleasantness, I did decide to watch it myself after hearing a bit about the plot. Essentially, the film is primarily shot from the point of view of normal looking office workers who are in charge of a big project. The project that they approach with such nonchalance is the manipulation of a group of teenagers (whom they are watching via hidden cameras in a cabin) to fulfill certain archetypes and then ultimately see to it that they are sacrificed. What is revealed is that there are “ancient ones” who live inside the earth. These beings thrive on the blood of human beings, but certain rituals must take place first. Namely, not just any old humans will do. They need a hero, a harlot, a fool, a scholar, and a virgin. Thus, these puppet masters who are charged with feeding the ancient entities have to make sure that these teenagers fit those specific archetypes before they can be killed. Through trickery and deceit, they manage to get each person to adjust their personalities according to the mold they’re meant to fit. This all happens without the teenagers having any idea that they’re being messed with. Meanwhile, the tie wearing business professionals that are in charge of masterminding the plan are having a great time watching all of this happen. I felt that this film said a LOT more than most people took from it. First of all, these “ancients” smacked very much of the fallen angels who were imprisoned in the pit according to Jude 1:6-7: “And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.” Further, the very idea that there are masterminds sitting in offices somewhere hatching schemes to manipulate us via electronic means is likely more realistic than we care to admit. The movie may have sensationalized much of the drama, but do not forget that we are dealing with radical evil in this world, and nothing is beyond its capability. CONCLUSION The topic of media manipulation and blatantly evil imagery is something that I could discuss endlessly. There’s certainly no shortage of fuel for this conversation. I’ve often wondered if it is a topic that I should shy away from for fear of promoting these dark agendas rather than exposing them. There is so much going on in the world right now that at times it seems like a fruitless endeavor to research what popular culture has up its sleeve, but after thoroughly thinking this through, I’ve come to this conclusion; When we drive in our cars, turn on our radios, flick on the TV, go to a movie, walk down the street, read a magazine, or surf the internet, we are hard pressed to escape some form of media infestation. Commercials and pop up ads and billboards are everywhere, it is part of this world in which we live. Thank God we are merely IN the world, and not OF it. I’ve decided that it is a worthwhile pursuit to examine and expose some of the more blatantly sinister aspects of the entertainment industry. Just the other day I watched a mother at Wal Mart consider the purchase of a Ke$ha CD for her young daughter. When we are armed with this kind of knowledge, we can educate others. Maybe we can stop one little girl from being exposed to the agonizing anthem of “Die Young.” Maybe we can wake up our friends to who the real engineers of our culture are, like my best friend who was able to spot the blatant Illuminati image in Les Miserables, only because she’d suffered through so much of my written and verbal material. I think it matters. To coin a phrase from another film that salaciously exposed the dark underbelly of the elite... It is rather a sad notion that we should live our lives with our Eyes Wide Shut.

This interview was conducted before Richard and I began work on the Watchers series! Richard started Pinlight in 2005 with the initial task of finishing the delivery of Beat the Drum (a motion picture about an AIDS-orphaned Zulu boy) to the international audience. Since then, the company has been involved in a number of projects, including Leonardo di Caprio’s “The 11th Hour” DVD as well as several television pilots, including “Effects Shop” about some of the best Oscar-winning effects experts in Hollywood. Shaw directed “The Wordz Project” where street kids and famous rappers rap the words of Jesus the Christ to hip hop beats. He is currently producing “Torah Code 2012” a documentary film about the latest revelations in the Code and how it pertains to the unusual things evident in the Mayan calander’s end in 2012, or 5772 in the Hebrew calendar. The results are both terrifying and comforting at the same time. www.pinlight.com www.pinlight.com/projects.htm L. A.: How did you get into making films? R. S.: I’ve worked in television a long time, going back to the late 70’s when I started in music and audio mixing. Later, I wrote editorially in several industry mags and became an expert in digital non-linear editing. As the years passed we got offers to produce and shoot entire projects instead of just doing the post production. I gradually became involved in film and documentary producing and directing. I never anticipated becoming a producer or director, but it has become something that I enjoy doing along with editing, which is the creative process of putting it all together. I’m able to use my former mixing skills as well as using my eye for good visuals which I’ve worked hard to develop. Some people actually like my work. So, miracles do happen. L. A.: Your new project, which is about the Torah Codes is under production. Why did you choose this subject? R. S.: I read the book “The Bible Code” by Michael Drosnin back in ’99. I was stunned by the information, and of course was a bit skeptical. Drosnin was very convincing. There seemed to be a Torah Code table available for all the major world events in the 20th century. After studying that, and also after reading the Satinover book, “Cracking the Bible Code,” I was convinced that the Code had to exist. I began to have a great deal of respect for Professor Eliyahu Rips, the discoverer of the Code, and through our documentary have come to know all of the Rabbis and mathematicians personally that are involved in Code research. I’m truly honored to know them and have a great deal of respect for such men that have dedicated so much of their lives to such an unusual study. They have subjected themselves to scrutiny and ridicule, but continue forward with the work. L. A.: Tell us about the Torah Codes and why we should take note of them? R. S.: Over the years, development in the way the Codes are searched and proved have attained a new level of statistical accuracy. Many people have tried to disprove the Code, and some of the statisticians that believed it was all baloney had good points. Opponents were finding codes in other texts of sufficient size, like Moby Dick or War and Peace. Yet, it seemed clear enough to me that what Prof. Rips, Prof. Haralick and others in the team were finding were beyond random occurrences. Groupings of key words tended to yield related information far more often and with less effort than so-called “monkey” texts – meaning texts that we assume have no codes at all. The profs use thousands of monkey texts to prove the statistical significance of codes found in the Torah. It is possible for a table to be found in a monkey text, but when the odds are 5 in 1,000, or even 4 in 100,000, the odds weigh in favor of the Torah codes. It’s taken this long to develop new approaches to diffuse the skeptics. L. A.: Who discovered the Torah Codes? R. S.: It started in the 17th century with the Vilna Gaon, a famous rabbi that believed that the Torah contained answers to the universe. Sir Isaac Newton spent many years of his life trying to find a code, believing the Torah had hidden trues. But it wasn’t until Rabbi Michael Weissmandl in the early 50’s that the first real idea of how to search the Torah was found. Weissmandl discovered the key – Equidistant Letter Sequencing – a way to skip letters to find words. He was the one that discovered the first repeatable results, without using a computer, since none were available in his day. He did it by counting with his finger. L. A.: Tell us about the 50 letter skip that were done in the Torah and what is so startling about that. What did the researchers discover? R. S.: Weissmandl made the discovery that if you started with the first letter “T” (tet in Hebrew) in the book of Genesis, and skip every 50 letters, it spelled the word, “TORAH” in Hebrew. They next tried it in the book of Exodus, and it worked again. They discovered that it didn’t work in Leviticus, but if they skipped every 8th letter it spelled “HASHEM” or the Hebrew word for God. Then in Numbers the 50 letter skip worked again, but spelled Torah backwards! They tried it again in the last book of the Torah, Deuteronomy – commonly referred to as the book Moses wrote – and while they couldn’t find “Torah” every 50 letters, they did find the word every 49th letter. This is significant, since the Jews believe in the power of numbers and “50” is considered a perfect number. Moses didn’t quite rate that level of perfection, only God. So the Code graphic that you can now visualize in the Torah would look like this, (and even though I’m doing it in English, you get the idea): TORAH, TORAH, HASHEM, HAROT, HAROT. Essentially, it’s like a book unfolded mirroring the words Torah with “God” in the center – a beautiful iconic manifestation. L. A.: There have been several documentaries about the Torah Codes. Why is yours different and what are you focusing on that others have overlooked? R. S.: That is a very good question Lynn. In our research I looked in to what other “Bible Code” programs had been done before. There were a few, some significant, some not. Some based on fictional accounts, (the “Omega Code” movies) and others that were produced for the BBC and the History Channel. The documentaries tended to exploit the codes of Michael Drosnin exclusively and most of them used codes from his first book released in 1997. Many of those original tables now have been proven statistically insignificant because of new technologies. Some were correct, but because of the nature of the way Drosnin searched the Torah, skeptics have an easy time punching holes in the concept. Instead, in our documentary we’re going to the source – Prof. Rips, Rabbi Glazerson, Prof. Robert Haralick, and others who are intimately associated with true research and the math that goes along with it. Also, while Drosnin way back in ’97 did a couple tables on 2012, they were conflicting in their information. One table said something like “Earth annihilated,” while another one said “I will break it in pieces.” The idea being that an asteroid would hit the earth. The codes we’re finding are different, and they are put through a rigorous testing procedure. The feeling now is to only use apriori key words, but there is a debate over that concept to some degree as well. L. A.: Why is 2012 an important date? R. S.: It all stems from the ending of the Mayan calendar, 12-21-12. The calendar has been correct through the centuries in many areas, including the prediction of accurate solar events. The fact that the calendar abruptly ends, to some, means that the world may also end. Others believe that the calendar simply starts over again. I felt that the mystery surrounding this event, if there was anything to it at all, would then be found in the Torah – a set of books that I trusted beyond the Mayan calendar. L. A.: Have the Torah Codes discovered anything about that date? R. S.: There seems to be evidence of many earth shaking events on that date, or leading up to it. The most recent concern has been a prediction about another attack on Mumbai this Fall. The codes have been unsettling and after having gone through the Monte Carlo experiment, have proven to be statistically significant in their results. We believe “something” is going to happen this Fall. Interesting enough, as we all looked at new code evidence since early August on this topic, about a month later an article appeared in the New York Times, predicting some new terror attack on Mumbai. http://www.nytimes.com/reuters/2009/09/17/world/international-us-security-indiaisrael.html?_r=1 Then this month, Rabbi Shimon Dahan, known as “the Rabbi who foresaw the Tsunami” released a “vision” on the internet that seemed to corroborate the findings by some in the Torah Code team regarding some form of atomic blast. The Rabbi did not say where it would occur: http://visionofgeulah.wordpress.com/2009/09/10/rumor-between-rosh-hashana-andsukkot/ L. A.: Could you explain what “monkey texts” are and how they play apart with the Torah Codes. R. S.: The best way to illustrate what a monkey text is would be like a placebo when doing drug testing. It is a text having no codes, and used as a control. The same search protocols are imposed on the monkey texts in the same way that they were found in the Torah text. Then results can be accurately computed. L. A.: You are working with some of the top Torah Code researchers on the planet at this time. What have you gleaned from the relationship? R. S.: It has enriched my life. I had always wanted to meet professor Rips – that would have been enough. But today we communicate via emails, along with prof. Haralick and Rabbi Glazerson. The last time I visited prof. Haralick at his home in New York state, Rips and Glazerson were also there. One afternoon with Rips, we were searching the Torah and the text seemed to come alive. The room seemed filled with electricity. It was if the Torah was revealing its secrets to us personally, or at least the experience felt terribly personal to me. I found my eyes tearing up, and I told Rips that it seemed as if we were the only generation meant to see these things – the only ones with the software and computers – the generation where God decided to reveal vital information about our times. Then, Rips told me that sometimes he felt as if he was going crazy. I told him I felt the same way about it. Were we imagining these things? But then all we could say was that we knew the Code existed. There was hard evidence of that. So, care had to be taken to make sure that it was being used correctly. L. A.: Do you think the God of the Bible left these codes for us? R. S.: I think that Michael Drosnin believes the code is real but was put there by aliens who somehow had knowledge of future events. However, we’ve found codes about seemingly simple and personal events – not just earth-shaking codes about wars, dictators like Hitler, terrorist events like 9-11, but information about people, their lives, and what they do. Why would aliens take the time to encode all of that information? It doesn’t make sense to me. There is no precedent in anything I’ve read about alien intervention on earth that would cause me to believe they are concerned for our well-being, or that they would have reason to encode the Torah about specific details of some of our lives. A great example of what I’m referring to is the code table found for Dan Gordon, our writer on the project. Dan’s code came up with all his information, his occupation (playwright) and other key words. But the most startling thing is that on a montage piece of art that Dan was in, there was a plaque mounted below the picture displaying a Bible verse in Deuteronomy chapter 20. All of Dan’s codes were found in that chapter. They could have been found in Exodus or the book of Genesis, but there they were, crossing the very verse inscribed on that piece of art that Dan’s picture was in. Coincidence that 3,321 years ago someone decided to encode such obscure information about a distant playwright in the 21st century that also happened to be working on our project? http://torahcode.us/torah_codes/documentary/documentary2.shtml The Torah speaks of the experience Moses had with God on Mt. Sinai. If we believe that the Torah was given some 3,321 years ago, then according to the story inside its pages, when Moses came back down the mountain with his face glowing – something had to have happened to him. We only know the story in the Torah, and further details are a mystery. L. A.: The History Channel special, postulated that the Codes were placed there by Aliens, what are your thoughts on that? R. S.: See above. L. A.: A few weeks ago you forwarded me a new code that discussed something happening in Mumbai. Would you comment on that? R. S.: See above L. A.: Do you think that we are living in the last days that are spoken of in the Bible? R. S.: I know that all the Rabbis and Professors believe that we are. World events seem to conclude that there are multiple events happening that have been foretold. To the Jews, they also have the Midrash, the Kaballah, and the quotes I’ve been reading seem to reflect many of our current situations. As scientists evaluate ancient texts and civilizations, there seem to be some with knowledge far above that of our own in the 21st century, or almost as if we’re beginning to catch up a bit. Many of the Jews believe that 2012 will be a period of redemption, a time where our physical bodies will go through some form of amazing transformation. They also believe that our bodies (“vessels”) need to be ready to “receive the light.” Some believe that there will be enhancements of our very consciousness. Others believe in a form of the “rapture,” which is actually a Christian concept. I find it all very interesting. L. A.: Your closing thoughts? R. S.: The Torah Code project is one that I hope will be fully funded soon. The economy has prevented rapid development of the project, but the work goes on. Also, we don’t intend to release the program by conventional means. The networks and cable systems seem to have abandoned programs that try to go beyond mere entertainment, yet our show will be entertaining and will move quickly. It will cover ground from the latest and most startling Codes, to an historical perspective, all the way to UFOs, 2012, crop circles, and how all these things seem to be interrelated in the times in which we live.
