Chapter 3 Introduction Two "Spiritual Cords" "Bind" America to Ancient
Babylon - Modern-day Iraq: 1. Hammurabi, sixth king of
the first Babylonian dynasty, and 2. The footprint of a fish
that forms a "spiritual boundary" around Washington's Governmental
Buildings Iconography: Iconography, images and symbolism used in art, is a form of visual communication that America’s Founding Fathers used to both reveal and conceal their ideology concerning the founding of America and its new government. Though certain ideas were conveyed to the public – the full meaning of the allegories incorporated into their iconography remained hidden. It is what the iconography meant to conceal from the public that is the most revealing. Why the need to conceal? They wanted to conceal their personal beliefs concerning government and religion, but even more so, they wanted to conceal that "We the People" did not include "All the People." They also wanted to conceal that their fascination with ancient antiquity and their gods was more than just a fascination. In other words, America's Founding Fathers were actually "influenced" by the pagan belief system that their false gods ordained their rulers to govern the land and that's clear from all the pagan symbols throughout our government buildings. The worship of pagan gods was and is not just a meaningless tradition of man carried over from antiquity. It was and is a bona fide (false) religion. The spirits that operate behind these pagan deities are the angels that fell when Satan fell. Daniel 10 is only one Scripture that clearly reveals that these pagan gods rule over geographical areas and have human representatives that maintain places of worship for them. The Prophet Jeremiah gives us an idea as to how the "spiritual influence" of one geographical area can spread to another geographical area. Jeremiah was using the symbolism of spreading vines to convey a spiritual truth. Just as vines that grow and spread in a garden can cause destruction to crops – “spiritual influence” can grow and spread like tendrils from one geographical area to another causing destruction. Jeremiah 48:32 32 O vines of Sibmah, I weep for you more than the weeping of Jazer [over its ruins and wasted vineyards]. Your tendrils [of influence] have gone over the sea, reaching even to Jazer. The destroyer has fallen upon your summer fruit harvest and your [season’s] crop of grapes. (Amplified Bible) In Jeremiah 48:32, Jeremiah describes the physical spread of vines - but the vines are symbolic of "Spiritual Vines" or cords that spread across the sea. As it relates to America these spiritual vines represent the spiritual influence of the pagan civilizations of antiquity that our founding fathers were influenced by and embraced.
Concerning America, the "Influence" of the lawmakers of antiquity and their false gods became "spiritual vines or cords" that "bound" America to many countries. For the purposes of this section, I want to explore Iraq – modern-day Babylon. These “Tendrils of influence,” which can be thought of as "spiritual cords" that bind America to Iraq, describe the Babylonian influence that was produced by the tendrils that sprung up and started to grow from the roots planted by our founding fathers when they incorporated the ideology of the ancient Babylonians into the founding of America. And, these tendrils as they continue to grow and reach maturity will continue to influence America in a way that will be extremely destructive to our country. The first spiritual cord is to Hammurabi. To begin with, it might surprise some Christians to discover that America's laws have a distinctly pagan influence. This includes the influence of Hammurabi, the sixth king of the first Babylonian dynasty who, according to the Relief Portrait inscription in the U.S. Capitol House chamber, ruled from 2067-2025 B.C (however, according to other, more recent sources, his reign was from 1795 or 1792 to 1750 BC). The following is a quote from Art in the Unites States Capitol prepared by the Architect of the Capitol, which describes the 23 relief portraits in the House Chamber in the US Capitol. “The 23 relief portraits in marble are of men noted in history
for the part they played in the evolution of what has become American
law. They were placed over the gallery
doors of the House of Representatives Chamber when it was remodeled 1949-50
... In chronological order the
lawgivers are …”[1] (see
List of Lawgivers and Relief of Hammurabi below) Again, Hammurabi is one of twenty-three relief portraits[2] that adorns the Chambers of the House of Representatives. These twenty-three marble relief portraits of "Lawgivers" were selected by a special committee for their work in establishing the principles that underlie American law. Hammurabi was famous for his "Code of Laws" known as Hammurabi's Code of Laws. Interestingly, Hammurabi believed that he was ordained by the pagan gods Anu and Bel to bring about the rule of righteousness in the land. Obviously, our American lawmakers did not choose them because of their righteousness. Then again, a civil government does not equate to a righteous government. They were chosen because they made moral laws based on their sense of right and wrong - according to the laws that were written on their hearts. Even Hammurabi, the pagan king of Babylon enforced moral laws. The "Influence" of the lawmakers of antiquity and their false gods became "spiritual cords" that "bound" America to many countries and for the purposes of this section I wanted to point out Hammurabi's influence on America's lawmakers became a "spiritual cord" that still binds America to Babylon - modern day Iraq. At this point, I want to draw attention to the fact that Saddam Hussein claimed to be a descendant to Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon. The second Spiritual Cord is the footprint of a fish that forms a "spiritual boundary" around Washington's Governmental Buildings that "spiritually" binds Washington, DC to Nineveh (modern day Mosul, Iraq). (See Figure 3-1 below and "Development of the United States Capital," "The U.S. Capital Fish," Figure 3-4 and Figure 3-5 below) Interestingly, it was in Mosul on July 22, 2003 that American troops captured and killed Hussein's sons Uday and Qusay as well as one of his grandsons.
Figure 3- 1 Aerial View of Washington, DC Mall Area Source: Addresses Delivered, et al, Development of the United States Capitol [3] To begin with, the Mall area is situated within the imagery of a Fish that is cradled between the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers located within the boundaries of Washington, DC. The symbolism of the "fish" that identifies the Mall area lying geographically within the enclosures of the city spiritually connects Washington, DC to many different nations and their different deities. However, for the purposes of this section I want to explore ancient Nineveh. According to The Popular And Critical Encyclopaedia written by Samuel Fallows, in Biblical times Nineveh , like Washington DC, was represented by the picture of a fish inside the enclosure of a city. "The name of Nineveh is written Ninua and Nina in the cuneiform inscriptions. A popular etymology connected it with the Assyrian nunu, 'fish,' at a very early date, since the name is ideographically represented by the picture of a fish inside the enclosure of a city."[4] Again, ancient Nineveh now is known as modern-day Mosul, Iraq. (See "Fallows Bible Encyclopaedia", Figure 3-6. Figure 3-7, and Figure 3-8) I believe that is why the LORD allowed a large fish to
swallow Jonah when he would not go to Nineveh. If Jonah would not go to
Nineveh then the LORD would let Nineveh, the great fish city, swallow Jonah
(hence the great fish).
Reference: Jonah 1:17, "But the LORD provided a great fish to
swallow Jonah, and Jonah was inside the fish three days and three
nights." We should not be surprised that the hieroglyphic for Nineveh is the outline of a fish within the enclosure of a city identifying Nineveh as the "great fish city." All thoughout the Bible we find that animals are often used figuratively to describe the "spiritual nature" of a human being as well as Satan, the demonic and principalities. When a human being was compared to an animal it was because they both shared the same traits. For example, a fox is used figuratively of the antichrist or false prophet. A fox is cunning, selfish and destructive and it was because of the fox’s attributes that Jesus compared Herod to a fox - Luke 13:31. And of course, the LORD used a Lamb to describe the nature of Jesus Christ when He went to the Cross. Yet, when Christ returns he is described as a Lion. As Christians we know that there is always a spiritual dimension to the earthly. One is not inconsistent with the other, as one cannot exist without the other. As it concerns animals, this all began when Satan used the serpent as a tool to hide behind when he tempted Eve. And, for that reason, there is a spiritual nature of the serpent that we should be aware of. Not only is the serpent man’s natural enemy – the serpent also represents man’s “Spiritual Enemy." Needless to say, it is significant that both the animal and Satan were two dominant entities in the Adamic dispensation and for that reason the spiritual connection or relationship between Satan and animals is of importance. Spiritual Triangles: It is a well known fact that the "triangle" is sacred within the occult and that Washington, DC is well known for all its "spiritual triangles" that can be found throughout the entire city. Within the fish itself, one can easily find triangles that help make up both the body and tail of the fish. Therefore, it was not just happenstance that Mosul, the city where Saddam Hussein's sons and grandson were killed by American troops constitutes the uppermost tip of the so-called "Sunni triangle"[5] and was a stronghold of Hussein's Ba'ath party. Nor was it just happenstance that Saddam Hussein was born within the Sunni Triangle and that the city of Ad-Dawr where Hussein was captured lies within the heart of the Sunni Triangle.[6] (See "The Sunni Triangle," Ad-Dawr, Figure 3-9, Figure 3-10, and Figure 3-11) This is not the only spiritual connection that America has to modern day Iraq. America's Founding Fathers used symbols throughout the Capitol to "spiritually" bind America to Nimrod's Empire, which included both Babylon and Nineveh (Genesis 10:8-11). America is spiritually tied to Biblical Babylon and Nimrod's ideology of "one language" and a one-world order. There is no doubt that Iraq and America are spiritually connected. Isaiah 5:18 reveals there are spiritual cords of vanity and Psalm 78:50 speaks of a "Spiritual Path". The Spiritual Roots of America's Economic Crisis: Spiritually, the fish is also symbolic of Leviathan, a large sea monster or serpent. According to Scripture, the Hebrew meaning for the word, Leviathan, means twisted or coiled and comes from a primitive root that means “to borrow as a form of obligation” or “to lend” in the sense that that the one who borrows “joins himself” to the lender. Moreover, Leviathan “is a king over all the children of pride” (Job 41:34) and “causes people to lend and borrow." In other words, the Leviathan has spiritual dominion over anyone who is prideful and embraces covetousness practices. For that reason it is able to operate through people’s sin of pride and greed “causing” people and nations to lend and borrow. When their sins of pride and greed are filled to the brim, then the result is personal and global fear, chaos and confusion that we are witnessing at the present time, which are all manifestations of the Leviathan spirit. The word Leviathan is also translated as "mourning" - and the day is coming when all American's will mourn the fact that America's debt to China and Japan has become a "Financial Weapon of War" that both countries wield over America (Job 3:8). Job 3:8 8 Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning. (KJV) Or, according to other translations - Those who are ready to arouse Leviathan. In the context of Job 8:3, China knows exactly what they are doing. They put themselves in a place to be able to curse America - a curse that will make America "Mourn"! I also find it remarkable that the White House, the Capitol, Lincoln's Memorial and several other buildings all correspond to the anatomy of a fish. Saddam Hussein - the Modern Day King of
Babylon & the Prince of Persia - the
Principality who has "Spiritual" Jurisdiction over the Kingdom of
Persia As Christians, we all know that past events still affect the world today. For example, Genesis 3 reveals that man fell and sin came into the world and so on. Therefore, it is important to understand that even though Babylon (modern day Iraq) is no longer part of the Persian Empire - it was at one point in time - and that fact still has a bearing on Iraq. There are two very important aspects of the Book of Daniel that I want to point out concerning Saddam Hussein and the Prince of Persia, a fallen angel that represented the Persian world power and whose influence Saddam Hussein was under. |
|
1.
The
Medo-Persian Empire Daniel 5:26-31 reveals that
Belshazzar, king of the Babylonians was slain and that his kingdom was given
to the Medes and Persians. In other words Babylon (modern day Iraq) at
that point in time became part of the Medo-Persian
Empire. ·
Again, keep in mind that ancient
Babylon is now located in modern day
Iraq ·
According to numerous accounts, Saddam Hussein claimed to be a descendant of King Nebuchadnezzar who was the King of Babylon during the days of Daniel. |
2.
The
Prince of Persia Daniel 10:10-14 reveals the existence
of "the prince of the kingdom of Persia" (v13) that withstood the
heavenly messenger that was described as a "certain man clothed in
linen" (v5) that was sent to Daniel with an answer to his prayer
(v12). ·
Given that the man clothed in linen
was a "heavenly messenger" then it is obvious that the one who
detained him was also a spiritual being.
Keep in mind our battle is in the heavenlies
(Ephesians 6) ·
In other words, the prince of Persia
has a "spiritual" jurisdiction over modern day Iraq, meaning he is
able to spiritually influence the leaders of Iraq,
for example, those like Hussein. ·
v13
also reveals that there are kings of Persia." In other words there are multiple
principalities within this particular "Dominion" of principalities These Scriptures
reveal that even though it appears that we are fighting men
and nations, we are in truth wrestling with the powers and forces of the kingdom of darkness who are in league with Satan. |
|
Satan, not wanting Daniel to receive an answer to his prayer, was actually able to use the satanic prince of Persia to detain the heavenly messenger for 21 days from reaching Daniel to give Daniel the understanding he was seeking. And, Satan will go to that degree to delay an answer to our prayers. The principalities that exist in the "Invisible Spiritual World" may have an influence on those living in the "Visible Physical world" - but their influence is limited. We as Christians have the authority in the Name of Jesus to pull down their strongholds. It was when one of the strongholds of the prince of Persia, specifically the one over Saddam Hussein, was dislodged that Hussein was captured. According to Revelation 12:12, when a principality is dislodged they rejoice in the heavenlies; however, they bring their wrath to earth. In other, words that is when Saddam Hussein was captured. Every time a Christian takes authority over Satan and every time a principality is dislodged and every time the Church casts out a demon from someone who is being vexed or bound - and every time an unbeliever's soul is rescued from the demonic and comes into the Kingdom - Satan is being driven out (John 12:3) and comes closer to being cast into the lake of fire and brimstone! (Revelation20:10). All throughout the Church age, Satan is ever falling! Luke 10:18 And when every power, rule, authority, principality, demon and Satan himself has "completely Fallen" and made inoperative - in other words fallen under the feet of Jesus - then "The End Cometh" 1 Corinthians 15:24-28 Man's Spiritual Enemy & the Law of Double Reference: Biblically speaking, there is always a spiritual dimension to the earthly. One is not inconsistent with the other, as one cannot exist without the other. All throughout the Bible we find a Biblical principle that came to be known as the "Law of Double Reference." For example, in many passages of the Bible the LORD addresses a "Visible" creature while at the same time He is address an "Invisible" creature who is using the "Visible" creature as a tool. In other words, two creatures are involved in the same passage - one visible, the other invisible. For example, in the account of the temptation of Adam and Eve, Satan (the invisible) used the serpent (the visible) as a tool to hide behind. For that reason there is a spiritual nature of the serpent that we should be aware of. Not only is the serpent man’s natural enemy – the serpent also represents man’s “Spiritual Enemy." Needless to say, it is significant that both the animal and Satan were two dominant entities in the Adamic dispensation and for that reason, the spiritual connection or relationship between Satan and animals is of importance. For example, animals in the Bible are often used figuratively to describe the nature of a human being as well as Satan, the demonic and principalities. When a human being was compared to an animal, it was because they both shared the same traits. For example, a fox is used figuratively of the antichrist or false prophet. A fox is cunning, selfish and destructive and it was because of the fox’s attributes that Jesus compared Herod to a fox. Luke 13 31 The
same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out,
and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee. 32 And He said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox,
Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures today and tomorrow, and the third
day I shall be perfected. (KJV) In other words, we should not be surprised that America's Founding Fathers used the "Spiritual Symbolism" of a fish to create a "Spiritual Boundary" around the Capitol, the White House, the Mall area as well as Memorials to several of America's Presidents. Needless to say, the Eagle was chosen for its "spiritual symbolism" as well and so on and so on. Another example is when Jesus Christ addressed Peter as Satan - Matthew 16:23. And, we still see Satan (the invisible) using things in the natural realm (the visible) as his tools. For example, we often hear America (the visible) described as a "World Power" meaning that America is powerful enough to affect the entire world by its influence or actions. While that may be true, it is only a partial truth. In other words, there is an invisible world power behind America's visible world power. According to John 12:31 Satan (the invisible) is the "Ruler of this world." In other words, according to Scripture, Satan (the invisible) is behind "all visible" world powers - and these visible world powers are nothing more than tools of Satan. More to the point, "all world powers" are under the influence of Satan to one degree or another to further his agenda. In other words, "Satan is "the" World Power." But, like all world powers who rise to power only to fall - Satan's world power is limited as well and Satan's power of influence is over "unbelievers"- not Believers, at least Believers who are not in willful sin. Again, John 12:31 reveals that Satan is the "ruler of this world" and 2 Corinthians 4:4 reveals that Satan is god of this world - meaning Satan has a kingdom. Hence, Satan is a "World Power." 1 John 5:18-19 reveals that the whole world (of unbelievers) lies in the power of the evil one - meaning the unbeliever is easily influenced by Satan to do his will - to follow Satan's agenda. On the other hand, verse 18 reveals that the wicked one does not touch those born of God and who do not sin. "Ruler of this world" and "god of this world" are not just frivolous titles - they reveal that to some degree the Lord has given Satan the capability and authority to rule over all nations - that Satan is able to influence the mindset of the majority of people. I say "to some degree" because the LORD is still sovereign and Satan can only operate within the boundaries set by the LORD. For example, while Scripture, such as Ephesians 2:2; 2 Timothy 2:26 and 1 John 5:19, reveals that unbelievers are under the influence of Satan, Colossians 1:13 reveals that Believers are no longer under the rule of Satan. In fact, the LORD has given "All Believers" the authority to rule over Satan (Luke 10). However, just as Satan hid behind the serpent in the Garden of Eden, Satan still prefers to remain hidden (invisible). For example, Satan is the only world power whose main strategy is to influence people through deception, including the Church, that neither he nor his Kingdom of Darkness really exists. Luke 10 is one of the Scriptures that can shed light as to "why" Satan wants to remain "invisible" - because if the Church believes he really does exist then they will take authority over him and his followers. On the other hand, if he can deceive Believers that he doesn't really exist, then no one will take authority over him. I believe that the teaching of the 70 that Jesus sent out in Luke 10:17-24 is among those teachings that are important to the advancement of God’s Kingdom. But those of us who are led by the Holy Spirit know very well that we have the same adversary that Adam and Eve had and if we do not take authority over our adversary in the Name of Jesus - he will kill, steal and destroy our households. Acts 7:25 reveals that Moses thought that his own people would realize that God was using him to rescue them. Likewise, it still holds true today that the brethren often do not understand the anointing and call on the lives of other individuals. And because of that our identity must abide in the LORD alone. As long as the LORD understands my walk with Him, it is not necessary for others to understand it. For example, Luke 10:17-24 reveals that there are those of us who are called to Spiritual Warfare and why we are not understood by others in the Body of Christ. Notice that in Luke 10:1 that it was only those that Jesus “appointed” that were sent two by two ahead of Him to every town and place where He was about to go. In other words, not everyone was/is “appointed” for this particular “calling." Furthermore, we know that the Holy Spirit gives gifts to the Body of Christ as He wills - and one of the gifts is the "Distinguishing of Spirits" 1 Corinthians 12:1-11. This particular gift enables us to distinguish whether or not someone is a false teacher, or when someone is speaking in their flesh; or when someone is under the influence of a demonic spirit - all areas where discernment is especially needed. This particular gift enables us to distinguish outward appearances from inward realities - to discern the true motives of someone's heart. In other words, this particular gifting enables us to distinguish between (1) the Spirit of God, (2) the spirit of man and (3) the spirit of evil. When someone has this particular gift "they react to the circumstances." Those Believers who discern and understand the spiritual behind the natural are very sensitive to this gifting. Someone can sin because of their own evil desires - this comes from within a person, it is an attitude of their heart. On the other hand, someone can sin because of demonic influence - an outside influence. Iin other words, the origin of the temptation is demonic. For example, Christ was without sin, yet Satan tempted him and Christ had the victory over Satan. On the other hand, in Acts 5 we find that Satan filled Ananias to lie. We need to keep in mind that once someone begins to sin because of a heart attitude, they open themselves up to influence of the demonic. For example, Judas had a love of money - he had already been dipping into the purse (John 12:6) - and this in turn enabled Satan to influence him to betray Jesus for money. We may find ourselves in a situation where we need to understand whether or not we are being tempted or tested. How do we know if what we're doing is of the LORD or ourselves? Is it demonic oppression that is coming against us or is it someone else? Again, Ephesians 6 reveals that we fight against supernatural forces. In other words, temptation can be initiated by the demonic. The demonic will feed upon disobedience. Nor did Jesus rebuke the 70 (or 72 depending on the translation) when they returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy Name (verse 17). Rather, in verse 18 Jesus responds by stating that He had beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven indicating that because the devils were subject to the 70 in the Name of Jesus and that the war in the heavenlies was suffering defeat (Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (According to Strong's - the Hebrew meaning of the word "high" means "heavenly" or "in heaven" - and that is why other translations including the NKJ reads "heavenly places") This is only one
of the aspects of the war in heavenlies that
Ephesians 6 speaks of. In verse 19 not only does Jesus give
unto those appointed to this type of warfare power to tread on serpents and
scorpions, He also gives them power “over
all the power of the enemy."
Over all the power of the enemy means just that: over all the power of the enemy is not
limited power. In verse 20, Jesus states that they are to rejoice not in
that the spirits are subject
unto them in His Name; instead, they are to rejoice in that their names are
written in heaven. Notice that Jesus
in stating spirits did
not distinguish between demonic spirits verses principalities. Spirits indicate both the demonic and
principalities. Otherwise, Jesus would
have made a distinction. Jesus goes on further rejoicing in spirit and thanking the
Father that this type of second heaven warfare was not revealed to
everyone. In verse 23 Jesus turned to
His disciples and said privately, Blessed
are the eyes which see the things ye see: 24~For I tell you, that many prophets and
kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them;
and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. Not everyone is called to second heaven warfare nor will everyone in the Body of Christ understand this type of warfare; however, blessed are those that have been appointed and who do understand what God has called them to. Taking no credit themselves, the Disciples were astonished that even the devils were subject to them through the Name of Jesus. Verse 18: Jesus replied: "I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven": In other words Jesus directed their attention to the "spiritual realm" making them aware of a much larger picture of the satanic world. Interestingly, Satan's fall is compared to lightening that is quick, dazzling and destructive. On Earth as in Heaven: While the disciples were taking authority over the devils here on earth and casting out Satan's subjects - Jesus was saying that it affected the spiritual realm - Jesus saw Satan himself fall! Even though Satan and his angels had already fallen - Ephesians 6:12 reveals that there is still a battle going on in the heavenlies. Jesus was explaining to them that there is a spiritual aspect to what they were doing. Casting out demons was part of a whole. The whole: the Disciples saw devils being cast out - Jesus pointed out how their success affected the Kingdom of Darkness - Jesus saw how devils being cast out affected Satan. Again, every time a principality is dislodged and every time the Church casts out a demon from someone who is being vexed or bound - and every time an unbeliever's soul is rescued from the demonic and comes into the Kingdom - Satan is being driven out (John 12:3) and comes closer to being cast in to the lake of fire and brimstone! Every time a Christian takes authority over Satan - he continues to fall. All throughout the Church age - Satan is ever falling! Type and Antitype: Saddam Hussein was an "antitype" of the "king of Babylon". There is a Biblical principal that Christians refer to as "Type" and "Antitype." In the context of Scripture, a type was symbolic of a future event(s) or some person(s) that would exist at a future time. The later person or event was called the antitype. For example Aaron was a (type) of high priest that was a foreshadowing of Jesus Christ (the antitype) meaning the Ultimate High Priest. Jesus is referred to as the lamb of God - meaning the lamb is the type whereas Jesus is the antitype - the real Lamb of God. The type, whether it is in reference to a person, a thing, or an action, has its own independent and absolute existence, while at the same time being the type preordained by God to foreshadow a future person, thing, or action. The word type indicates the similarity between something future and something past in either the physical or the moral order, in other words it is intended to convey that this, this or that was not just happenstance. |
|
The type is said to be "a shadow of things to come" Hebrews 10:1 1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. Hebrews 8:5 5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount. |
Colossians 2:14-17 14 Blotting out the handwriting
of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out
of the way, nailing it to his cross; Hebrews 9:9 9 Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; |
|
In other words, the King of Babylon as told in Isaiah 14, is a "type" of future Kings of Babylon - for example, Saddam Hussein can be thought of as an "antitype." And, that explains why this specific taunt, when read into the spiritual realm at the direction of the LORD, was able to dislodge the principality operating through Saddam Hussein and when that particular principality was dislodged - Saddam Hussein was captured and eventually executed. The Church has made it known to the principalities and powers that the LORD has given His Church the authority to pull down their strongholds. And when every power, rule, authority, demon under Satan and then Satan himself has "completely Fallen" and made inoperative - in other words fallen under the feet of Jesus - then "The End Cometh" 1 Corinthians 15:24-28 Ephesians 3 10 [The purpose is] that through the church the complicated, many-sided wisdom of God in all its infinite variety and innumerable aspects might now be made known to the angelic rulers and authorities (principalities and powers) in the heavenly sphere. 11 This is in accordance with the terms of the eternal and timeless purpose which He has realized and carried into effect in [the person of] Christ Jesus our Lord, 1 Corinthians 15:23-28 (KJV) 23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. 24 Then cometh the end, when He shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when He shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. 27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that He is excepted, which did put all things under Him. 28 And when all things shall be subdued unto Him, then shall the Son also Himself be subject unto Him that put all things under Him, that God may be all in all. This principal is confirmed through the documentation that follows. |

5. Spiritual Triangles
To most people,
triangles are simply three-sided symbols or objects that are found in a
variety of every day applications, such as mathematics, engineering
or surveying. However, to occultists
and others familiar with the occult arts, triangles have a deeper, spiritual
meaning. To the occult, triangles
represent a merging of the spiritual and earthly realms and are considered
symbolic or “spiritual triangles”. More specifically, spiritual triangles
represent triune gods (or god of three) as well as identify geographical
spiritual gateways (geographic areas of demonic activity and influence on
earth) found on such things as maps or plats.
Even truncated triangles and truncated triangular shapes, such as a
pyramid, have spiritual meaning to the occult. Ancient
Symbolism of Triangles In antiquity,
"… triangles were conceived by the ancients to explain the secret order
of the cosmos”.[17]
Pagans believed that triangles symbolically revealed that three
spirits were brought down into the geographical or the worldly realm. For example, Baal-Shalisha, a
pagan god of three,[18] is mentioned in
the Bible in 2 Kings 4:42. In other
words, “a god of three” or triune god would be a composite of three different deities. The worship of triune gods was prevalent
throughout ancient civilizations with the names of the triune varying from
region to region. While pagan gods
were often portrayed in the image of a deified man or woman, pagans would
also use symbols for the same purpose.
For example, several statues of antiquity have been found that are
supposedly in the image of the goddess Nike – yet we also know that pagans
believed that the symbol of a “swoosh” (ü) itself embodied the goddess Nike as
well. Just as the ü identified Nike in ancient times, the products manufactured by the
modern-day sports company, Nike, are also readily recognized worldwide simply
by this same symbol. In a similar way,
the symbol of a triangle (∆) was believed to embody and/or represent a
composite of three separate gods and/or goddesses being brought down into the
geographical realm. However, the
triangle (and the symbol of a fish as discussed below) also represented
spiritual doorways or gateways. An example of a
spiritual gateway is found in Genesis 28:10-17 and is often referred to as
“Jacob’s ladder”.
As Jacob travelled from Beer-sheba to Haran,
he laid down to sleep one night and saw a spiritual ladder in a dream with
angels of God ascending and descending to and from heaven and earth. After awakening, Jacob exclaimed that it
was a gate of heaven (Gen 28:17). Satan, as we know, imitates and perverts
things of God and thus has his own (demonic) gateways. These gateways, known as “high places” or
places of idol worship in the Old Testament, are gateways of the demonic and
places of both demonic activity and demonic influence. Ancient
Languages and Spiritual Gateways - Daleth The etymology of
the Egyptian hieroglyphic of a fish, the Phoenician daleth,
the Hebrew daleth and the Greek delta
are keys to understanding why the occult and Freemasons use triangle and fish
symbols to identify spiritual gateways.
Even though Egyptian hieroglyphics were never an alphabet in the true
sense, nonetheless, the Semitic people of Phoenicia, who created the first
known true alphabet, were influenced by Egypt’s use of pictures to
communicate. Over time, the use
of pictures evolved into the letters of the alphabet. Those who understand the significance of
the etymology of words and images realize that the root meaning is still
relevant – especially for those operating in secrecy. It is in that sense that the root meanings
are relevant for those of us who expose what the unrighteous do in secret. It is well known
that organizations who operate in secrecy, like the occult and Freemasons, are heavily influenced by all aspects of
ancient civilizations, especially their beliefs about their relationship to
the spiritual realm. For that reason,
they are known to use symbols and letters to convey one message to those who
are like-minded and who, like themselves, understand the etymology of words
or images, while hiding the true meaning from the general public. As a result, they are able to continue to
operate in secrecy. Therefore, let’s look at the etymology of the fish and triangle, two symbols whose root meanings are vital to the Freemasons and the occult who both believe that the triangle is symbolic of the spiritual. The chart below shows the etymology of the letter/symbol, “daleth”, from its earliest usage. |
|
Figure 3- 12 The Symbol "Daleth" |
|
The Semitic
alphabet used pictures to convey ideas.
For example, the earliest known Semitic symbol of a fish literally
meant “door” or more specifically a “tent door”. Interestingly, the Semitic people of
Phoenicia incorporated a triangle into their symbol of a fish; it was the
tent shape of the triangle that was meant to be symbolic of a door or
gateway. This particular shape became
known as daleth. Over time, the
diamond shape of the fish was eliminated and only the triangular shaped tail
remained – pointing in the opposite direction. This particular shape was the fourth letter
of the Phoenician alphabet and was also known as daleth. Even though the shape evolved, the idea
behind the letter daleth remained and daleth continued to be equivalent to a door. Interestingly, daleth was adopted by the Hebrews for the fourth
letter of their alphabet and like the Phoenician daleth,
the Hebrew daleth also meant door. To the Greeks, who adopted daleth as the fourth letter of their alphabet, daleth was written in the form of a triangle
and was renamed “delta”. Like the Phoenician and Hebrew daleth, the Greek delta means door. Obviously, not
everyone used daleth in the same way that
the pagans did as not everyone bowed down to pagan deities. Many used daleth
or delta for secular purposes. However, it is the meaning of daleth that the pagans corrupted for their
purposes to identify their spiritual gateways that I want to address. According to The
Interpreter’s Dictionary of the Bible, as well as other sources, the
original meaning of daleth was probably dag
– the Hebrew word for fish.[19] In
other words, because daleth was originally
based on the pictogram of a fish, the representation of both the triangle and
a fish can be used interchangeably to convey the idea of a door. This same concept was embraced by America’s
Founding Fathers when laying the foundations of our Nation’s Capitol. The Egyptians
believed in orientating their temples to the stars; likewise, those who were
responsible for designing the layout of our nation’s Capital ensured that
Washington, D.C. was laid out in accordance with those same pagan
beliefs. The particular star in
relationship to the layout of Washington, D.C. is “Sirius” – and
interestingly, but not surprisingly, the Egyptian hieroglyphic for Sirius
includes the triangular obelisk. The other two hieroglyphics alongside the
obelisk are a dome and a five-pointed star, both of which are incorporated
into the structure and artwork of our Nation’s Capitol building. Once again, the ideology and symbolism were
to show the relationship between the spiritual and the natural. Spiritual
Gateways in Washington, DC It is well known
that America’s Founding Fathers, as well as those who later implemented their
plans and beliefs, used artwork and architectural symbolism to spiritually link our nation’s capital to civilizations
of antiquity. Therefore, it is not
surprising to find numerous triangles located throughout the city of
Washington, DC. An example of this is
the Federal Triangle, which is located between the White House and the Capitol
and includes approximately 70 acres.
These triangles identify the numerous spiritual doors or gateways
throughout our Nation’s Capital through which the demonic and principalities
operate. Earlier maps of D.C. also clearly portray the Capitol, White House, Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials as well as the Washington Mall all strategically enclosed within the outline of a huge fish, as shown in the annotated aerial photographs [20] below of Washington, D.C. |

America’s
Foremost Political “Demonic Spiritual Gateway” The above fish
identifies the foremost political “demonic spiritual gateway” in
America. This and other symbolism
located throughout Washington, DC spiritually connects our nation’s Capital
to various ancient civilizations and their demonic gateways, for example,
ancient Nineveh. Just as our
nation’s capital is represented by the image of a fish inside the enclosure
of a city, biblical Nineveh was also represented by the picture of a fish
inside the enclosure of a city. According to The
Popular and Critical Bible Encyclopedia, “The name of Nineveh is written Ninua and Nina in the cuneiform
inscriptions. A popular etymology
connected it with the Assyrian nunu, ‘fish,’ at a very early date, since the name is
ideographically represented by the picture of a fish inside the enclosure of
a city.”[21] The
World’s Foremost “Demonic Spiritual Gateway”:
The Gates of Hell America’s
foremost political demonic spiritual gateway is also spiritually connected to
the world’s foremost demonic spiritual gateway located in Israel at ancient
Caesarea Philippi: The
Gates of Hell. Caesarea Philippi was originally called Paneas in honor of the Greek god Pan who was a goat
deity. As shown in the above map, the
Capitol of the United States is positioned inside the topography of a goat’s
head (see enlarged image below) that sits atop a
geographical triangle that is truncated (blue outline surrounding the Federal
Triangle in red). This particular triangle is one of several triangles
incorporated within the layout of the fish.
Again, both the triangle and fish are symbolic of spiritual gateways
and the triangles within the fish are symbolic of gateways within the
gateway. Gateway of Hell Matthew16:13-19, When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea
Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom
do men say that I the Son of man am? And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist:
some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the
prophets. He saith
unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter
answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered
and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona:
for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in
heaven. And I
say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my
church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the
kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind
on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt
loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. (KJV,
emphasis added) “And
the Gates of Hell shall not Prevail” Caesarea Philippi
was an area that Christ had not been to before and His journey to Caesarea
Philippi, a prominent pagan high place, marked the northern limit of Jesus’ travels outside Jerusalem. Given that travel would not have
been easy due to the topography of the land, why would Jesus journey to this
particular pagan high place to make such a profound statement as recorded in
Matthew 16:13-19 rather than the Temple?
To begin with, the name Caesarea Philippi was synonymous with the gates of hell. According to ancient history, the pagans of antiquity believed the gates of hell were literally located at Caesarea Philippi. It was here that Jesus fearlessly stood at the gateway of hell and spoke a creative word into the spiritual realm (Ephesians 3:10). He declared to Satan, the father of lies, and to the kingdom of darkness that like Peter, all of God’s children, not just the prophets, would have the ability to hear from God the Father. It was upon our ability to hear that He would build His church – and that the gates of hell would not prevail against it. The
Gates of Hell were Located within a Geographical Triangle Given that spiritual gateways are identified by spiritual triangles, we should not be surprised that the gates of hell were located in a city “nestling amid three valleys on a terrace in the angle of Hermon”.[22] Nor should we be surprised that Mount Hermon itself was a mountain range with three summits situated like the angles of a triangle. Given the spiritual symbolism of truncated triangles, which is described later in this paper, it is also significant that one of the three summits is described as truncated. Nor should we be
surprised that it was here that Jesus asked His disciples who they thought He
was and after Peter responded that He was the Son of
God that Jesus said unto Peter: “That thou art Peter, and upon
this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not
prevail against it.” The Gates of
Hell and the U.S. Capitol There is an interesting spiritual connection between the Gates of Hell in Caesarea Philippi and the U.S. Capitol. It is common knowledge, especially among occultists, that the landscape design and layout of the U.S. Capitol grounds appears as the outline of a goat’s head when viewed from a vertical or aerial perspective (below is a copy of the original 1874 drawing for Capitol landscape improvements showing the goat’s head). As noted above, Caesarea Philippi was originally named Paneas in honor of the goat deity, Pan. Thus, both Caesarea Philippi and the U.S. Capitol have a “goat theme” in common. |
|
While this goat
connection might be dismissed in of itself, the Summer House cannot be. Located on the grounds on the west side of
the Capitol is a small brick structure called the Summer House. In addition to the goat’s head, the Summer
House was part of the Capitol’s landscape design of Frederick L. Olmstead,
the Capitol’s original landscape architect, in 1874. It is an open-air hexagon-shaped
(geometrically composed of six equilateral triangles) structure designed as a
grotto with iron gates at the entrance. Of particular interest is a
fountain inside the structure that was originally designed to incorporate a
device with a set of chimes, sometimes referred to as a carillon, to produce
a “melody” (not a song) from the falling waters.[24] In
a straight line behind the gates and fountain and viewable through an oval
opening or window in the far wall is a grotto with a stream of water coming
from this small cave (see picture below). |

Comparing the Summer House on the Capitol grounds to Caesarea Philippi, we find that Caesarea Philippi was located in one of the angles of triangular-shaped Mount Hermon. Caesarea Philippi and Mount Hermon were where the goat-deity, Pan, had a grotto or cave with a stream flowing from it, just as found in the Summer House. Pan is often depicted as playing a set of pipes. According to mythology, Pan invented a musical instrument composed of unequal reeds plucked from a stream that produced a “plaintive melody” to woo the nymph, Syrinx and named the instrument after her.[25] This is analogous to the original intent of the carillon of the Summer House. The spiritual gates (Gates of Hell) of Caesarea Philippi, of course, correspond to the physical iron gates of the Summer House (see the below picture of the Summer House gates). |

According to
Bulfinch’s Mythology, “Pan, the god of woods and fields, of flocks and
shepherds, dwelt in grottos, wandered on the mountains and in valleys, and …
came to be considered a symbol of the universe and personification of
Nature.”[26]
Pan’s woodland character and personification of nature fit nicely with
Olmstead’s landscaping plans for surrounding the Summer House with many
different types of plants, especially ivy, which he planted around the Summer
House to “merge it with its surroundings”,[27] thus making it part of nature. The ivy is also symbolic of a spiritual
cord as alluded to by Jeremiah: Jer 48:32 32O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with the weeping of Jazer: thy plants are gone over the sea, they
reach even to the sea of Jazer: the spoiler is
fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage.” (KJV, emphasis added) Jeremiah was
describing the physical spread of vines, but this is also symbolic of the
spiritual spread of vines, in this case, across the sea to the ivy vines
surrounding the Summer House, connecting the Summer House with Caesarea
Philippi. When taken as a whole, the
connections between the Gates of Hell at Caesarea Philippi and the U.S.
Capitol and its Summer House are unmistakable. The Enemy from the North Quite often Scripture refers to the enemy as coming from the north whether or not the country was actually geographically located to the north. The Hebrews understood that coming from the north implied that the enemy was coming from a place of “darkness” or from a “hidden” place – and that could be from the north, south, east or west. Because north was symbolic of evil as well as a compass direction, I believe that’s why the gates of hell were specifically located at the northern boundaries of Jesus travels. Joshua was considered a “type of Christ” –
a foreshadowing of Christ. Just as
Caesarea Philippi was the northern limit of Jesus’ travels outside Jerusalem,
Caesarea Philippi, known as Baal-Gad in the Old Testament, was the northern
most limit of Joshua’s conquest.
Interestingly, both went “unto” the same geographical gateway;
however, neither Joshua nor Jesus went “beyond” the gates of hell. Star Worship & Triangles Pagans used
triangles in the belief that they were able to connect the heavens with the
earth – the spiritual with the worldly.
Just as those who laid out the design for our nation’s Capital aligned
the buildings with the star Sirius, whose symbol is triangularly shaped, the
triangular shaped island of Sicily was placed in the heavens in the outline
of a triangle made up of stars. Star worship was a
common practice of pagans and at times, they would choose a cluster of stars
to form some image that represented either a pagan god or geographical
region. Such a cluster of stars was
known as a constellation. An example
of a triangular constellation meant to connect the heavens with the earth is
the Constellation Triangulum. As suggested by its name, the Constellation
Triangulum is triangular in shape and was
associated with the triangular shaped island of Sicily. The natives of
Sicily embraced the pagan goddess Ceres as their patron deity and according
to mythology, at the request of Ceres, Jupiter placed Sicily in the heavens
in the outline of a triangle that was formed by stars. Of course, this triangle of stars was the
cluster of stars that the natives of Sicily themselves chose to correspond to
the triangular shape of Sicily, not the act of a pagan deity, but certainly
under the influence of the demonic.
Furthermore, constellations themselves are imaginary – the shapes or
designs are man-made – and are only fixed on paper and not in the heavens. The Star of your god The “star
of their god” in Acts 7:43 is a Biblical example where a star or group of
stars has been assigned to a pagan deity in an effort to connect the earthly
realm with the spiritual realm. In
addition to a literal star, a “figure” of the same was made that could
be carried around with them. Acts 7:43 43Yea,
ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch,
and the star of your god Remphan, figures
which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.” (KJV,
emphasis added) Sadly,
those in Acts 7:43 that Stephen is referring to are the Israelites who, while
wandering around in the wilderness, had adopted the customs of pagan star
worship. The “tabernacle
of Moloch” mentioned in Acts 7:43 gives us a Scriptural understanding as to why the triangle is so
significant to the Freemasons, the occult and others who use this symbol in
their practices, rites, initiations and ceremonies. Given the context
of triangles and the spiritual connection between the triangle and a tent, it
is interesting that the “tabernacle” of Moloch, or as some translations read,
“tent”, that the Israelites carried with them is
referring to a figure in the same sense that the star of their god was a
figure. It wasn’t
a literal tent, but an object of worship in the shape of a tent. According
to Strong’s Concordance, the Greek word translated into English as “figures”
in the context of Acts 7:43 is referring to a pattern or print of an image
that was stamped on to either the clothing, their sandals or other objects
through the use of dye. [28] Given that it was
the figure of the tabernacle (tent) of Moloch and not the image of the god
itself that they carried with them, then it would stand to reason that the
figure they stamped onto their clothing and elsewhere would have been the
triangular (∆) shape of a tent. Scripture reveals that there is nothing new under
the sun, what has been will be again. Even today, it is not unusual
to see clothing and shoes with pagan images and symbols imprinted into the fabric
or their construction. As previously
noted, Nike’s “swoosh” (ü) is imprinted
onto shoes, clothing and sports equipment and it is not unusual to see
triangles or some variation of
triangles on clothing or shoes.
Whether or not all manufacturers understand the meaning behind the
symbol is unknown. Some manufacturers
are aware while others are not. When
the Israelites “took up the tabernacle of Moloch”,
it meant that they “carried” the tabernacle.
Interestingly, both the words “carry” and “wear”,
when used as verbs, mean “to bear” – in the sense to display. People don’t
really have to talk for us to know something about them; the words or symbols
on their clothing or cars speak volumes.
For example, someone in the military can identify the rank of an
officer simply by the symbols that he wears on his uniform without the
officer verbalizing his rank.
Christians wear specific symbols for the purpose of saying, albeit
without words, that they are a Christian.
In other words, people often carry their words and ideology by wearing
them and it is in this sense that the Israelites
carried the tabernacle of Moloch throughout the wilderness. Given that pagans believed that
the symbol of a triangle itself embodied a god or goddess, then those who
carried the tent of Moloch would have believed that Moloch himself was
embodied within the symbol of the triangle.
In other words, they would have believed that they were carrying the
presence of Moloch around with them as well. The belief that the presence of a pagan deity
dwelt within a tent that could be carried around was Satan’s
counterfeit of the moveable Tabernacle that God had Moses to build. It was within this tabernacle and its
“A-shaped” tent that covered it that God dwelt and moved about. It was also within this tent and tabernacle
that God’s presence would manifest and He would meet with His people as they
moved through the wilderness. (Ex 25:8; 29:42; 2 Sam
7:6) The shape of the Tabernacle differs from that of a
tent, as the rectangular shaped Tabernacle itself was covered by an A-shaped
tent. For that reason, it can be
understood that God dwelt in both a tent and a tabernacle as recorded in 2
Samuel 7:6. 2 Samuel
7:6 6Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the
time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day,
but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.” (KJV) According to Strong’s Concordance, the Greek word
translated into English for tabernacle in the context of Acts 7:43 is
referring to a tent as well as a tabernacle, which would explain why some
translations read tabernacle while others read tent. Again, it stands to
reason that the symbol for Moloch’s tabernacle (tent) would be that of
a triangular shaped tent. I also
want to point out that the main focus of the six pointed
star that pagans associate with Moloch should be on the two triangles or
tents that make up the star – not just the outside shape of the star. The association of a pagan deity with a
star is also recorded in Acts 19:35 where the Ephesians had associated their
pagan goddess and her image to the star Jupiter: Acts 19:35 35And
when the townclerk had appeased the people, he
said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth
not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess
Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?” (KJV) Mathematical Triangles are not
“Spiritual Triangles” Mathematical triangles are not spiritual triangles
in of themselves. Mathematical
triangles abound in everyday living and not every triangle has spiritual
significance. However, when the
occult, such as Freemasons, are involved, the triangles used by them in
designs of cities (e.g., Washington, DC), buildings, art, surveys of land,
clothing, business logos, ad infinitum, then the triangles and
triangular shapes are almost certainly of spiritual significance. As noted above, they will identify
spiritual gateways, represent gods (idols)/triune
gods, stars of gods. The main focus of this study is on the spiritual
aspect and not the mathematical. Those
who use symbols to convey occult meanings to the initiated while hiding the
true meaning of the symbol from the general public want the public to believe
that the symbol is nothing more than the representation of a mathematical
triangle. The modern day occultist views the world through
the same lens that the occultist of antiquity viewed the world. For that reason, they continue to use the
same occult symbols as the people of antiquity used. Because the public views antiquity as
nothing more than the past and having no meaning today, occultists are able
to establish demonic strongholds in churches and neighborhoods as well as our
nation’s capital through the use of spiritual triangles. It’s
important to keep in mind that each individual letter of the ancient
alphabets, unlike the letters of the English alphabet,[29] was
a symbol that could stand alone to convey an idea. To determine if a triangle is spiritual or
not, one cannot solely compare it to a mathematical triangle because the
shape of a spiritual triangle was originally symbolic of a tent or gateway –
and not that of a mathematical figure.
Therefore, one has to ask if the triangular image is that of an
“A-shaped” tent or that of a truncated or segmented triangle. Otherwise, mathematical triangles or shapes
that are triangular in nature, yet not true triangles, can become confused
with true spiritual triangles. For
example, many shoes and clothing have spiritual tents and triangles
incorporated into their design, while others have triangular shapes that are
just that – shapes – and nothing more. Spiritual Tents “Spiritual Tents” are not to be confused with
“Spiritual Triangles”. For example, the spiritual tent
is symbolic of Molech’s dwelling, while the
spiritual triangle represents three different principalities coming together
to form a triune god or a spiritual gateway.
The spiritual triangle also represents the spiritual being brought
down into the earthly realm. While the spiritual tent of Molech was portrayed
on apparel in the form of a one dimensional design, more than likely at one
time or another, a three dimensional shrine was also constructed. Whether one or three dimensional, both were
symbolic of Molech’s dwelling brought down to
earth. Like Molech’s
tent, the Egyptian pyramids were spiritual dwellings for Egypt’s Pharaohs whom
they believed to be gods, albeit deceased.
As a point of interest, in addition to the fish
that surrounds the mall area in Washington, DC and the many triangles that
make up the geographical landscape of our nation’s capital, George
Washington’s personal tent at Yorktown was called the “Temple of Glory.”[30] This spiritual tent, whose roof section was
A-framed like various other tents erected during this part of America’s
history, was erected to convey an aspect of America’s ideology concerning
American patriotism. The Truncated Pyramid and
Triangle Represents Unfinished Work Many spiritual triangles are truncated or cut off
at the top indicating unfinished work, both in the spiritual realm and the
earthly realm. For example, our
Founding Fathers chose a truncated pyramid as a symbol on the reverse side of
the Great Seal of America indicating that even though they founded America,
they also realized that the work they began could only be completed by future
generations. The all-seeing eye placed
above the truncated pyramid clearly symbolizes the spiritual (see the reverse
side of a U.S. one-dollar bill for a picture of the Great Seal’s truncated
pyramid). Furthermore, Pierre L’Enfant’s
realization that his grand design for Washington, DC would have to be
completed by others was symbolically expressed through L’Enfant’s
“Federal Triangle”.
The Federal Triangle is a truncated triangle that was incorporated into
the geographical footprint of Washington, DC at its inception by L’Enfant. The Federal
Triangle is an excellent example of “unfinished work” left by the Founding
Fathers as the development that took place within this particular triangle
occurred over a period of decades.
Formed by Pennsylvania Avenue, Constitution Avenue and 15th
Street, the building within this geographical framework continued well into
the 1900’s. The below illustration shows the Federal Triangle (outlined in red), which was originally designed as a truncated triangle, located within a larger truncated triangle (outlined in blue). Both of these truncated triangles are located within the “fish”, and include the sections that were incorporated into its design. The sections are part of a whole and are symbolic of the future generations that would contribute to completing, if possible, the unfinished work left by our Founding Fathers and their generation. Over the decades, the work has been a “work in progress” and will probably, to one degree or another, remain an on-going work. |

Obviously, all spiritual triangles have a common
thread; however, the truncated and/or segmented triangles have a spiritual
dimension that the traditional three-sided triangle does not. Even though all spiritual triangles are
occult symbols, they are different – each has their own story to tell. The Tower of Babel The Book of Ecclesiastes reveals that there is
nothing new under the sun – what has been will be again. Man’s efforts to reach the heavens are
first recorded in Genesis 11 when the Babylonians built the Tower of
Babel. Genesis
11:4 4And they said, Go to, let us
build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make
us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. (KJV) Like other Babylonian towers, it is believed that
the Tower of Babel was a truncated pyramid with seven stepped levels. These ziggurats were the typical structure
during antiquity and the seven different steps were representative of seven
different planetary or stellar deities that the Babylonians believed to be
the mediators between heaven and earth.
The seven steps, whose top, it was hoped,
would reach to heaven, are an excellent example of Satan’s counterfeit of the
spiritual ladder and gate of heaven that Jacob saw in Genesis 28. The belief that various structures, including
tents, erected during America’s early history were temples was also deemed to
be appropriate when they built our nation’s Capitol and for that reason the United States Capitol was originally known as
“The Temple of Liberty”. Even though
our nation’s capitol is not pyramidal in shape it is
interesting that a goddess stands on the very top of the Capitol reaching to
the heavens. Spiritual Triangles Are
Determined by Divination When a triangle is reflected on a surveyor’s plat,
more than likely that triangle is a spiritual triangle that identifies a
geographical spiritual gateway where demonic activity takes place. However, these geographical spiritual
triangles are not determined by the surveyor – they are determined by
divination by whoever is ultimately directing the work of the surveyor. The surveyor is simply surveying the land
using standard surveying techniques.
On the other hand, some surveyors who have a legitimate surveying
business also operate in the occult arts and knowingly map out spiritual
gateways as revealed to them by the demonic.
Obviously, the same secular reasons given to the surveyor will be
given to anyone inquiring about or who may eventually purchase the land
containing the triangles. Many of these demonic gateways result when the
boundaries between two separate pieces of land change due to some agreement
made between both owners, one of which may not even be aware of the spiritual
aspects of the transaction. However,
because those in the occult prefer to hide their true motives, they will come
up with a logical secular reason to explain the change between the two
existing boundaries. Consequently, the
surveyor will make changes to the plat based upon these secular reasons
provided by his client(s). When the
change is reflected on the new surveyed plat, the plat
will show one or more triangles that were formed when the new boundary line
crisscrossed the old boundary line. Obviously, pagans and those who operate in the
occult want to live in these geographical spiritual gateways. However, Scripture reveals that we
(Christians) are to stand in the gateway of the enemy (Genesis 22:17 and
24:60) and for that reason we find that pagans living in these gateways aren’t always able to maintain ownership having been
supplanted by Christians with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. How Do We Know That We’re Standing in a
Spiritual Gateway? In verse 12 of
Genesis 28 we find that the Lord appears to Jacob in a dream and in verse 17,
we find that it was here that Jacob said this is the “Gate of Heaven”. Genesis 28:10-17 17And
Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went toward
Haran. And he lighted upon a certain
place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of
the stones of that place and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that
place to sleep. And
he dreamed, and behold a ladder set upon the earth, and the top of it reached
to heaven: and behold the angels of
God ascending and descending on it.
And, behold the Lord stood above it, and said, I am the Lord God of
Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac:
the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I
give it, and to thy seed: And thy seed
shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt
spread abroad to the west, and to the south:
and in thee and in thy seed shall all the
families of the earth be blessed. And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all
places whither thou goest, and will bring thee
again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which
I have spoken to thee of. And Jacob awaked
out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the Lord is in this place; and I
knew it not. And
he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! This is none other but the house of God,
and this is the gate of heaven. (KJV, emphasis added) “He dreamed” indicates that it was through revelation from
God that Jacob understood that this particular area was a “gate of heaven”. I know when I stand in a gateway because of
revelation from the Lord, and signs and wonders (that I document) by which
the Lord confirms His revelation. Conclusion –
Satan’s Ultimate Plan Spiritual
triangles marking spiritual gateways and identifying triune gods fit into a
larger context of a spiritual purpose and design. God’s ultimate plan, as shown in Scripture,
is to bring all things, both earthly and heavenly (spiritual) belonging to
Him under the single headship of Christ.
As Paul explained to the Ephesians, God revealed His will to us
(formerly a mystery) of His grand plan of Christ’s headship: Ephesians 1:10 10[He planned] for
the maturity of the times and the climax of the ages to unify all things and
head them up and consummate them in Christ, [both] things in heaven and
things on the earth”(Amplified Bible) Satan, being a
created being, does not create or originate things of his own. He is an imitator (I will be like the
most High, Isa 14:14) and perverter of God’s
will and ways. Satan’s plan since the
Garden of Eden has been to pervert God’s will by bringing all things, both in
heaven and on earth, under his Satanic headship, according to his will and
his ways, which of course, are contrary to God’s will and ways. Here we can start
to see the connection between the earthly realm and heavenly realm. Satan is called the prince of the power of
the air (Eph 2:2) and the god of this world (2Cor 4:4). He wants to bring both of his dominions
together and have his will done, on earth and in the heavenly spheres. Thus, we can see that his plan is nothing
more than a usurpation of God’s plan revealed in Ephesians 1:10; however, his
plan will not prevail as his ultimate disposition will be the lake of fire
where he will be tormented day and night (Rev 20:10). We can see the
gate of heaven and its counterfeit, the gates of hell; the Tent of the
Meeting (Tabernacle) being carried by the Israelites in the desert and the
tent of Moloch being carried (as symbols worn on clothing) by many of these
same Israelites (Acts 7:43). The gate
of heaven was shown to Jacob by divine revelation; the gates of hell were
determined by divination (meaning they were inspired by principalities in the
heavenly realms – Eph 3:10). In more
modern times, cities, such as Washington, DC were designed with spiritual
gateways imbedded in its design, federal buildings in the city oriented to
stars (i.e., Sirius), temples built to deities (e.g., the Temple of Liberty,
a.k.a. the U.S. Capitol), and symbols, art, sculpture all linking the earthly
with the spiritual realm (in the heavenly spheres, not with God who resides
above the spheres). The Founding
Fathers of America were greatly influenced by the demonic and examples abound
everywhere. They and others that
followed them implementing their ideals used
pictures (paintings, artwork, symbols) to express their belief in the linkage
and communication between the spheres of heaven and earth. Following are two such examples. The following is taken from a description of the Statue of John Marshall that is included in Art in the Untied States Capitol: “On the north side of the base is a panel in relief, ‘Minerva Dictating the Constitution to Young America.’ A companion panel on the south side, ‘Victory Leading Young America to Swear Fidelity at the Altar of the Union,’ is depicted in the accompanying photograph.” (shown below) This statue, completed in 1884, sits on the U.S. Capitol grounds and clearly links the principalities Minerva and Victory with the writing of the Constitution as well as linking the earthly and spiritual realms. |

This influence of the Satanic was also found outside the realm of the inner circles of the government. In 1788, James Trenchard published an engraving in Philadelphia’s Columbian Magazine entitled, “Temple of Liberty” (see copy of engraving below). Shown in this engraving are some of the principalities of influence in America. On the top of the temple are Libertas (middle), Justicia (corner) and Ceres (corner). Standing on the ground are Concordia, Cupid (holding a scroll with “Constitution” written on it indicating that the principalities were involved in the writings of America’s Constitution, just as the Law was put into effect through the angels – Acts 7:53, Gal 3:9), and Clio, the muse of history recording the history of America and writing in a book, “we are one” (i.e., those in heaven and earth are one). |

Across the front
of the classical temple are the words: “Sacred to Liberty, Justice
and Peace.” Below the picture is a
poem, which reads: Behold! a Fabric now to Freedom rear’d, Approved by friends, and ev’n by Foes rever’d, Where Justice
too, and Peace, by us ador’d, Shall heal each wrong and keep ensheath’d
the sword Approach then, Concord, fair Columbia’s son, And, faithful Clio, write that ‘WE ARE ONE’. Some occultists
still understand the deep-rooted symbolism of the triangle and triangular
shapes, such as the spiritual tent and truncated pyramid. However, based upon Albert Pike’s comments
in Morals and Dogma, over time I
believe that many in these occult organizations such as Freemasons, have no
clue as to the well-hidden meaning and true purpose behind the symbolism of
the triangle as demonstrated in the below quotes: “[The Blue Degrees are but the outer court or portico of the Temple. Part of the symbols are displayed there to the Initiate, but he is intentionally misled by false interpretations. It is not intended that he shall understand them; but it is intended that he shall imagine he understands them. Their true explication is reserved for the Adepts, the Princes of Masonry. The whole body of the Royal and Sacerdotal Art was hidden so carefully, centuries since, in the High Degrees, as that it is even yet impossible to solve many of the enigmas which they contain. …]”[34] (emphasis added) “Masonry, like all the Religions,
all the Mysteries, Hermeticism and Alchemy, conceals its secrets from all except
the Adepts and Sages, or the Elect, and uses false explanations and
misinterpretations of its symbols to mislead those who deserve only to be
misled; to conceal the Truth, which it calls Light, from them, and to
draw them away from it.
Truth is not for those who are unworthy or unable to receive it, or
would pervert it.
….. So Masonry jealously conceals
its secrets, and intentionally leads conceited
interpreters astray.”[35] (emphasis added) “The symbols and ceremonies of Masonry have more than one
meaning. They rather conceal than disclose the Truth.”[36] How much more so for the general public who is clueless about the spiritual meaning of triangles on their clothing, shoes, land, buildings, tattoos, and other everyday objects. |
