Parousia of Jesus Christ Our Lord
Watch and Pray - for He will return! Amen. Come Lord Jesus! Alleluia!
Rom. 11:32 For God hath concluded all in unbelief, that he may have mercy on all. Then comes The Justice of God Mat. 3:12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor and gather his wheat into the barn; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire. Rev. 6:16 And they say to the mountains and the rocks: Fall upon us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth upon the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb.
The day of the Lord is not to come till the man of sin be revealed. The apostle's teachings are to be observed.
Chap. 2. Ver. 2. Spirit . . . utterance. . . letter indicate three possible sources of their belief that the parousia is imminent. Spirit refers to some falsely claimed revelation, utterance may be a statement of Paul’s which was misunderstood, or wrongly attributed to him, the letter seems to be one forged in Paul’s name.2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for unless there come a revolt first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition
Ver. 3. . . The parousia must be preceded by a great apostasy, i.e., a great religious revolt, and the advent of the man of sin, i.e., Antichrist. Son of perdition, one entirely deserving of eternal punishment.
Ver. 3. The day of the Lord will not come. These words have been inserted to complete the sentence, which in the original is elliptical. The expanded reads "Let no man deceive you by any means: for the day of the Lord will not come unless there come a revolt first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition"
Ver. 4. In the temple, that of Apostate Jerusalem which the full consensus of the Church Fathers declare he will rebuild - i.e. the Temple of Remphan; and in the Apostate shell of the former Christian church, which he perverts to his own worship: as the Freemasons have done to the Vatican.
Ver. 4. Antichrist will be characterized by great impiety and pride. He sits in the temple of God, etc. He will aspire to be treated as God and proclaim that he is really God.
Ver. 6. What restrains him. The Thessalonians knew the obstacle. We also know that it is Jesus Christ.
Ver. 7. Mystery of iniquity, the evil power of Satan’s threefold prevarication and total Apostasy from God, of which Antichrist is to be the public exponent and champion. He who is at present restraining it. The obstacle is now spoken of as a person. Some point out that Michael the archangel and his heavenly army are obstacles, and this is true, which now prevent the appearance of Antichrist – but the primary obstacle is, as St. Justin Martyr teaches: Jesus Christ Himself; when the great Apostasy is complete, then in effect, Christ is “gotten out of the way.”2:8 And then that wicked one shall be revealed: whom the Lord Jesus shall kill with the spirit of his mouth and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: him
Ver. 8. When Christ appears in glory, He will inflict defeat and death on Antichrist by a mere word of command.2:9 Whose coming is according to the working of Satan, in all power and signs and lying wonders:
Ver. 9 – 10. By the aid of Satan Antichrist will perform prodigies which men will falsely regard as miracles, and by means of which they will be led to adopt sinful practices.2:10 And with all wicked deception to those who are perishing. For they have not received the love of truth that they might be saved. 2:11 Therefore God shall send them the operation of error, to believe lying:
Ver. 11. God shall send. . .That is God shall suffer them to be deceived by lying wonders, and false miracles, in punishment of their not entertaining the love of truth.
Ver. 11. 'God sends.' God will allow their willful rejection of truth to have its natural results of spiritual blindness, impenitence and damnation. A misleading influence, or, “a delusion.” The operation of error - the Greek reads: "energian planes" or literally the energy of delusion, which is exactly and actually the fallen spirits of the devils and demons conjured by pagan religion, especially by idolatry. NOW, currently, the Assisi delusion of the Apostates, Ratzinger and Wojtyla and many others present with them, is a very real and prime example. To give oneself over to this is to invite utter and complete damnation of oneself by God.2:12 That all may be judged who have not believed the truth but have consented to iniquity. 2:13 But we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved of God, for that God hath chosen you firstfruits unto salvation, in sanctification of the spirit and faith of the truth:
Ver. 13. First-fruits, i.e., earliest believers in the gospel. Some manuscripts read: “from the beginning.” That is, God called them from all eternity.2:14 Whereunto also he hath called you by our gospel, unto the purchasing of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2:15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast: and hold the teachings, which you have learned, whether by word or by our epistle.
Ver. 15. Teachings, i.e., his teachings whether given orally or in writing. Concerning Apostolic teaching – the oral is included in the written at the point we have the whole New Testament complete, i.e. with the completion of St. John’s Gospel.
Eucharist in house churches Commanded by God - HE COMMANDS TO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE VATICAN WHICH HAS ALREADY BECOME TOTALLY APOSTATE AND DIABOLIC AT THIS POINT.
Neoplatonism and magic - Anti-Gospel
Neoplatonism and magic - Anti-Gospel
Unfortunately, throughout the history of the Church, especially in the East, the ancient world’s fascination with magic and sophist philosophy was a severe temptation to churchmen. Many succumbed to it. The author quoted below (Dr. Robert O'Neill) is not a Christian. He is, however, a precise and accurate writer on the details and overall perspective of magic and ancient pagan philosophies and metaphysics. OK, what does that have to do with anything? Just this, in the below he very clearly shows the relationship of magical practices and Neoplatonic based Christian mysticism (refered to many times in theological writings under the rubric of mystagogy) and Christian visionaries and certain theologies and certain private prophecies. This relationship is not good. This relationship is not Christian. This relationship is not Catholic. Unfortunately, it is very “Eastern Orthodox Church”, it is very ecumenical, it is very much a prime base for the prophets and prophetesses who try to change Canonical Prophecy - especially the Book of the Revelation, it is very much the base for those who introduce all sorts of pagan demonic beliefs, influences and Diabolic presences and practices into the Church, it is the base for the OTO which is one of the absolutely worst forms of Freemasonry. The Early Church Fathers utterly condemned this Satanic garbage in the strictest of terms. It is the base for the magical practices that are the demonic changes in prophetic Scripture by self appointed seers who dare to try to alter the prophecies of the Book of the Revelation and the connected prophecies in the rest of the Bible. Those prophecies have already been exegeted properly and truly by the Church Fathers and it is blasphemous and Satanic to try to change that. In Scripture, the Book of the Revelation warns:
Rv:22:18:
18 For I testify to every one that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book: If any man shall add to these things, God shall add unto him the plagues written in this book. (DRV)
And
Rv:22:19:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from these things that are written in this book. (DRV)
The Bible forbids categorically and completely anything to do with magic and pagan beliefs. As noted above those are the basis for introducing changes in Canonical Prophecy and Christian belief and practice. Begin with Exodus:
Ex:20:
1 ¶ And the Lord spoke all these words:
2 I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt not have strange gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make to thyself a graven thing, nor the likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, nor of those things that are in the waters under the earth.
5 Thou shalt not adore them, nor serve them: I am the Lord thy God
Then Deuteronomy:
Dt:18:
9 ¶ When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God shall give thee, beware lest thou have a mind to imitate the abominations of those nations.
10 Neither let there be found among you any one that shall expiate his son or daughter, making them to pass through the fire: or that consulteth soothsayers, or observeth dreams and omens, neither let there be any wizard,
11 Nor charmer, nor any one that consulteth pythonic spirits, or fortune tellers, or that seeketh the truth from the dead.
12 For the Lord abhorreth all these things, and for these abominations he will destroy them at thy coming.
13 Thou shalt be perfect, and without spot before the Lord thy God.
The Prophets all echo this.
Then see the New Testament:
Mt:24:24:
24 For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets and shall shew great signs and wonders, insomuch as to deceive (if possible) even the elect. (DRV)
Acts:8:9:
9 There was therefore great joy in that city. Now there was a certain man named Simon who before had been a magician in that city, seducing the people of Samaria, giving out that he was some great one: (DRV)
Acts:8:11:
11 And they were attentive to him, because, for a long time, he had bewitched them with his magical practices. (DRV)
Acts:13:8:
8 But Elymas the magician (for so his name is interpreted) withstood them, seeking to turn away the proconsul from the faith. (DRV)
Acts:13:6:
6 And when they had gone through the whole island, as far as Paphos, they found a certain man, a magician, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-Jesu: (DRV)
Rv:2:20:
20 But I have against thee a few things: because thou sufferest the woman Jezabel, who calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants, to commit fornication and to eat of things sacrificed to idols. (DRV)
Rv:9:21:
21 Neither did they penance from their murders nor from their sorceries nor from their fornication nor from their thefts. (DRV)
Rv:21:8:
8 But the fearful and unbelieving and the abominable and murderers and whoremongers and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, they shall have their portion in the pool burning with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. (DRV)
Rv:22:15:
15 Without are dogs and sorcerers and unchaste and murderers and servers of idols and every one that loveth and maketh a lie. (DRV)
Paganism, magic, sorcery and false prophecy have always been linked together and have as their father, the father of lies - Satan, and ALWAYS are against God and offend and blaspheme Him. God will eternally destroy those who do such things.
The Mark, the Name, the Number of the beast and the Tower of Babel = Ecumenism: Look up, your redemption is at hand: Hermes TrimegistusLook up, your redemption is at hand: Hermes Trimegistus
Look up, your redemption is at hand: Hermes Trimegistus
Hermes Trimegistus is the triple god of the ancient Greeks and closely embedded with Isis-Horus of the ancient Egyptians. In the Gréco-égyptienne religion of the Roman dominated (both political and in the syncretistic religious sense) Mediterranean cultural milieu of the first century these were central to both Gnosticism and Hermeticism - both of which shared the belief that Lucifer (Satan - Saturn) was truly god on earth. The North African form of Hermes Trimegistus was Priapus and was most depraved in the worst sense. These are the sources for the Gnostic opposition to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and biblical faith in Him as Redeemer. This is the magic of the Gnostics and Hermetics, condemned without reservation by God. This magical "secret knowledge" is the very ancient Hermetic proposition of calling God and the Devil two sides of the same coin. That is a lie from Satan. Those who listen to that lie will be condemned to hell eternally by Jesus Christ at His return from heaven at the end of this age to resurrect all men and judge the quick and the dead.
During the first century A.D., Alexandria, Egypt was a veritable hotbed of mystical activity, a crucible in which, according to Holy Blood, Holy Grail, "Judaic, Mithraic, Zoroastrian, Pythagorean, Hermetic, and neo-Platonic doctrines suffused the air and combined with innumerable others." (31:123) It was in the early centuries of the Christian era that the ancient worship of the MOTHER GODDESS was introduced to Christianity by JEWS who had fled Israel and embraced Alexandrian Neo-Platonism, which is just a rehash of Greek paganism.
The Buddha is in Hell with his master the Devil
The Buddha is in Hell with his master the DevilLk:4:5 “And the devil led him into a high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.” Jesus absolutely rejected this. Instead, to accept this false vision given by the devil as an indwelling of the divine, is exactly the same as the Buddhist teaching on attaining enlightenment in a moment of time encompassing past, present and future as Gotama was supposed to have done under the Banyan tree (the mahabodhi tree).

The symbolism here could not be more blatant. The pyramid, this symbolic structure representing secret societies operating on every continent, floats above the whole world, dominating it (some might say overshadowing it) and owning it.
Water in this structure also bears an important symbolic and spiritual meaning. Emanating from the top of the pyramid, water slowly trickles down each layer to finally end up on the map of the world. Water, a representation of divine wisdom, starts by gracing the top of the pyramid, which represents the “illuminated”, the elite of the world. From the capstone, water descends from one layer to another, “feeding” each Masonic degree with its share of wisdom. The symbolic end result is that the entire world is filled with (or drowning in, depending on the point of view) this knowledge.
When viewed in kabbalistic terms, water flowing through thirteen layers or “channels” is a reference to Mem, the Fountain of Wisdom.
[The below has nothing to do with the real Moses nor the first five books of the Bible known as the Torah of Moses, but are heretical inventions of the Apostate Rabbis.]
“Just as the waters of a physical fountain (spring) ascend from their unknown subterranean source (the secret of the abyss in the account of Creation) to reveal themselves on earth, so does the fountain of wisdom express the power of flow from the superconscious source. In the terminology of Kabbalah, this flow is from Keter (“crown”) to Chochmah (“wisdom”). The stream is symbolized in Proverbs as “the flowing stream, the source of wisdom.”
In particular, we are taught that there are thirteen channels of flow from the superconscious source to the beginning of consciousness. These channels correspond to the Thirteen Attributes of Mercy revealed to Moses at Sinai, as well as to the thirteen principles of Torah exegesis, the (superrational) “logic” of Torah.”

Though the Mysteries of the Mithras that came to pervade the Roman world were purportedly of Magian origin, the role of the House of Herod in its formation suggests a possible origin for the evident relationship that exists between them and the emerging form of early Jewish Kabbalah, known as Merkabah mysticism. An important source for the early penetration of these ideas, and which would continue to play an central role in the of dissemination of “Eastern” occult influences to the Western world, through to the time of the Crusades, and finally, the links between European secret societies and Islamic terrorism in our time, would be Egypt.Although Rome came to dominate the scene politically, it was the city of Alexandria in Egypt, that would continue to dominate culturally. Due to the numerous cultures that congregated in the city, whether Egyptian, Greek, Persian, Indian or Jewish, new esoteric creeds were formulated based on older traditions. These various schools held in common a type of mysticism, which some scholars term Gnosticism. More correctly, these variations represented aspects of a single school, that is, Kabbalah, exercised through the influence of the substantial Jewish community that existed in the city. As Franz Cumont remarked, a great number of Jewish colonies were scattered everywhere on the Mediterranean, and “the Jews, who were acquainted with the arcana of the Irano-Chaldean doctrines and proceedings, made some of the recipes known wherever the dispersion brought them.”[17]
