"The era of the three popes serves as a stark reminder that even the highest echelons of spiritual leadership are not immune to the complexities of human politics and ambition."
Human politics and ambition inhabit all Earthly realms, because the Devil draws the unwary to both.
As for ambition, success is open to those who accept the Devil as god, however covertly. This is true for the entertainment industries, whether in film, television, music, literature or art. Or sport, for that matter.
It is also true for politics, banking, commerce, science, history, bureaucracy, the military and even education and healthcare.
One may add religion to that list as well. Anyone who believes the Pope, the Archbishop of Canterbury and, for that matter, the Dalai Lama, are not tempted by ambition, let alone long subsumed by it, is blind to the reality of this world.
The Devil tempts and rules here. For now. However, the days of reckoning are fast approaching whereby the Son of God shall come again and the Devil shall be cast aside.
The time for reconciliation with God is, therefore, now. That is achieved not through the Papacy but through a personal relationship with the Almighty.
The Papacy has a prominent role to play in the unfolding of the Book of Revelation, but not on the side of Righteousness, for the Pope worships the Devil openly these days.
You rightly state that the spiritual decay. But more than this, true Christians had recognised from the early days that the papacy was degenerate and didn’t represent Christ.
The Waldenses and Huegonots certainly recongnised this before Luther and the antichrist papacy had them slaughtered.
Why did the reformation happen? Because naive Christians actually thought the antichrist seat could be reformed to true Christian beliefs. They didn’t seem to fully grasp that the papacy was a tool of the devil to destroy Christ’s followers from within.
The gospel of Thomas was written far later than the original gospels and is nothing more than an attempt by mystics to insert their nonsense into something people would be more likely to read. Kinda pathetic really. Let your works stand on their own if they’re somehow divine knowledge.
Let's assume for a moment that there was a civilization that was able to build objects in a monolithic way. What would a quarry look like? In my opinion, it would look exactly like this. No recognizable sense, but you could clearly see traces of the work.
Anyone who regards feudalism as good should be pleased to know it is returning now, along with the myth of 'mutual obligation'. This means that those at the bottom are obliged to believe those at the top care, while those at the top are obliged to occasionally pretend they care.
One key omission here and an impiortant misstatement. The omission is the Indus Valley civilsation was also a major trading partner with Crete (western Pakistan today). This shows the widespread trade network. The misstatement regards Atlantis. )Plato may have been inspired by Crete, but the location of Atlantis is much debated. It may have been a continent in the Atlantic as Plato says, or it may have been the Cyclades, or in Libya or several other candidates. A firm statement of Plato’s inspiration based on Crete is not justified.

The afterlife was believed to be underground,wet,cold and dreary with demons around. Refer to Odissius journey there to visit his mother. The human that had done great things and won valient victories went above to the mountain,the home of the Gods. The Bible mentions no hot Hell only Purgetory. A hot hell in the molton volcano lava is man made within the last thousand years by a church that depended on threats to maintain order.
H S Lewis in the start of the 20th century spent 7 years in Egypt and wrote about the vaults of knowledge contained in the leg of the Sphinx. That was before the present secrecy. He said he found a record that the high priest,when transfering the crown of the decease Pharaoh to the new that it was written that he physicaly could not stop at the first son and had to place it on the head of Akhenatin instead. The first son then left the country. I always wondered if Moses story was the part of the passed over name Tutmose dynasty now broken.
Was it not in the late 600s that the Muslims invaded Spain and part of Portugal,built their Temple and advanced outward until defeated first in 1035 and much loot was recovered. I could be off a few years but it was in the 1700s when we finally recovered from Catholic rule. This is history not critisim. The Crusaders were the first bankers and protectors of those going to Jerusalem.
Wow there’s so many fantastical ideas about what these represent!
Sorry to be a killjoy (some of your ideas are way more interesting), but the reality is actually quite boring by comparison.
The “handbags” of the Apkallu or “Wise Ones” (not the Annunaki as some here have claimed) are called dālum in Assyrian, which indicates a bucket for drawing water. That these are synonomous with banduddû is confirmed in an Assyrian medical lexion which lists both as a “drawing bucket”, many of which have been unearthed by archaeologists. They’re made of various metals and in different shapes but they’re all just buckets.
The most amusing part about this article is that there is an ealier article on this very site which is quite upfront about the fact that banduddû are known to be containers:
The author of this article might’ve bothered to read the first paragraph of Freddy Silva’s article prior to speculating about the purpose of the “handbags”.
The pinecone looking object in the other hand, which is being used to manually polinate the tree is either,
This is most likely the plant being cultivated seeing as depictions of silphium found on ancient Cyrene coins are almost identical to the so-called sacred tree of the Assyrian reliefs.
What’s really being depicted, is simply agriculture, the most important industry for an urban centre to exist. Not so mysterious after all!
AAAAHAHAHAAAAAA... wawww that was realy long - N of Greece, W of Turkey... or totally wrong - W of Italy.... Okok if you want it can be E, N or S of Italy, but it is simple - Trace, the hearth of Trace is in Rodopa mountain in
Bulgaria. And Spartacus was born there.
You are welcome to visit the country and you will see - the most boring ( tourist's ) place is
Varna History museum. You will see some interesting Trackian artefacts there, like the golden treasures, but in Rodopa and Strandja mountains you can learn and see a lot of things about Tracks and Spartacus - theres more knowledge for Spartak, than for a king
Arthur.
Luke 1:26-27 tells is that "And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary."
Jesus' conception was, therefore, in the sixth month of the year. But what calendar year are we referring to?
If it is the Republican Roman one, that puts His birth in May or thereabouts, nine months after the then 'sixth' month of August. If it is the Jewish one of Elul, in August/September this puts His birth in late May or early June.
The latter may seem a rational choice. However, the Jewish calendar is credited to Hillel II, around 358 A.D, and was based on the Babylonian 19-year cycle with some modifications to accommodate Jewish ritual. It is not the calendar of the Old Testament.
If it is not the Roman one, then what calendar is it? An earlier Hebrew calendar is a possibility. It is said that the first Biblical month of the year was Aviv (Abib), because the first ears of early grain could then be harvested (the Hebrew 'Aviv' means 'green almost ripe grain ear'). This started around the March equinox, which again puts the birth of Jesus in or around June.
This, of course, relies on a nine-month pregnancy. But, if one accepts virginal conception, one should perhaps not necessarily even presume the exact length of following gestation.
In short, we don't know when Jesus was born, whether it be the day, the month or even the precise year.
The just causes that led to Protestant reformation, which did not include a Tudor king's ego, saw a split from a monolithic Catholic Church where sinful ways were widespread.
However, the diverse Protestant denominations that have since sprung up have created another problem, because division tempts conquest. Pagan Rome was a past master at using such divide and conquer tactics and Catholic, that is to say - Luciferian Jesuit, Rome has similar traits.
Thus, Protestantism is no stranger to sin, either. The Anglican Church is the prime example of this, as are many charismatic evangical movements, but the problem is more widespread than that.
The most sinful Ba'al worship mentioned in the Old Testament never died out. It just went underground, into Judaism, especially, but also into Christianity and other faiths, hiding skilfully in some and barely bothering to hide in others.
The unasked question is one of how early Christianity survived AD Judaism. Jesus was crucified by orders of Pilate, but it was the Jewish ruling council that insisted on it, even going as far as predicting a revolt in the province if the crucifixion was not carried out. That's because Pilate wasn't actually all that keen on the whole idea, for career reasons and his wife's concerns.
The same ruling council, along with the Pharisees and Sadducees, was involved in major persecution equal to that of Rome. Most early Christian martyrs are seen as victims of Rome when, in fact, the first Christian martyrs were disciples killed not by Rome, but by the Sanhedrin etc.
The truth is a lot more than the glib, socially-acceptable history bites of today. I recently watched a History Channel program on the life of Jesus. It was largely accurate, but the whole point of it seemed to be about stopping people asking this unasked question. Instead, the viewer was encouraged to simply blame the obviously non-blame-free Rome.
I can see a similar situation arising here. What a coincidence!
When one knows the playbook, one knows what to expect.
And when one knows that the Vatican and Jerusalem are now tied to each other intimately, one may expect a lot.
My truth-telling does not unduly bother them. They want you to know, for they wish to revel in your misery. But, for now, they're content to revel in your ignorance instead.
Of all those who frequent this website, very, very few would not be ignorant of what is truly happening to usher in totalitarianism Worldwide, and most of those who aren't are involved in it.
Totalitarianism is possible because humanity is timid. Timidity in the face of God is one thing, but timidity in the face of the Devil is to effectively do his bidding.

I hope he has a date when our first upright walking ancestor advanced from concious state to the now self concious state people we are today.
