| The
4 Beasts of Daniel's Vision
(also discussed individually below in alphabetical
order)
|
It was a vision that
showed Daniel the 4 empires that would come prior to the End of the Age,
(i.e., the Age of Aries).
(Jesus came at a beginning of the Age of Pisces). |
In Order:
(1) Sphinx
(2) Bear
(3) Leopard
(4) 10-horned Monster
(They are dealt with individually below.)

In Order:
(1) Median Empire

4-headed Leopard
|
- N/A |
A leopard w/4 heads |
The leopard was the symbol of the
Macedonians. The 4-headed leopard symbolized Alexander the Great and the Macedonian Empire. Why four
heads?
Head symbolizes "head of state". There were four
Alexanders of the Dynasty. By the birth of the fourth Alexander, the
empire was already in civil war. And upon the death of the fourth
Alexander, the Dynasty ended. |

Monster

Teeth of iron.
Nails of brass.

10 horns.
 x10
|
The 10-horned monster
Symbolized the Roman Empire. TEETH (of iron);
symbolized the iron weaponry.
NAILS (of brass);
symbolized the ornaments of their uniforms.
Why 10 horns?
It is not yet known to me exactly why the ten horns, but my gut-instinct
tells me that it is similar to the 10 horns of the beast in the Book of
Revelation.
See The Beast1 (below). It also has 10 horns.

- The Median Empire (1st rib);
- The Lydian Empire (2nd rib); and,
- The Babylonian Empire (3rd rib).

Bible: (Job 40)
(1) Eats grass - (metaphorically). [Means: the sun
can scorch the grass.]
(2) Force in the navel. [The sun's power comes from within.]
(3) Chief in the ways of God. [The sun is the "chief" of
God, because God is Light.]
(4) Bones are strong, like brass. [Color of sun is like brass.]
(5) Trees cover him with their shadow. [Trees block the sunlight.]
(6) Drinketh up a river. [The "drinks" up rivers(via
evaporation.]
Other Cultures in the Middle East depict Behemoth thusly:
Man with some kind of royal head gear which appears to
be in the shape of the sun at the top and rays from the sun coming down
hitting the waters, which appear to be evaporating.
There are pictures of snowflakes on his shirt.
Depictions of clouds precipitating are in the
background. |
Personification of the Sun -
The powerhouse of the water cycle.
NOTE: I am fully aware that most scholars equate the behemoth
with a hippo, but those scholars clearly have not done their
research. For instance, the Wikipedia article on Behemoth is full of
falsehoods that are being disseminated by ignorant individuals. If one
looks at the cognates in the languages and cultures around the Middle
East, one can see that clearly is the sun--the lord of all storms.
The counterpart of Behemoth was Leviathan.
See Leviathan below. |
Mentioned only once in the Bible
in:
Job 40:15
Described in detail in the Book
of Noah
Always

Behemoth and Leviathan are engaged in a constant war over
the Earth, where one wins a battle, then the other wins a battle; and,
back and forth, forever. Today, we call it "The Water

Cherubim (pl).
|
Cherub
means: Hybrid |
Has four wings.
Has four faces:
- ox
- man
- lion
- eagle
See also Mazzaroth below. I believe that there is a connection. |
The Hebrew Cherubim could be the
equivalent of the ancient Phoenician sphinx, which was used by the Medes
and Assyrians. The function was that of guardians.
In the Bible they guarded the Garden of Eden.
The Phoenician sphinx is a hybrid of the same animals: legs of an
ox, body of a lion, wings of an eagle, and face of a man.
In the Apocrypha, the Cherubim are referred to as the chariot of God.
|
Etymology.

Always happening.
Cherubim are in the Mazzaroth, which is the celestial
wheel, through which the King (Sun) travels through a 24,000-year cycle,

called "The Precession of the Equinoxes." See Also:

Locusts
(from the bottomless pit; which is the endless darkness of space)

- N/A |
The locusts are described as
hideous beasts, thusly:
(1) Looked like horses
(2) Had crowns of gold
(3) Had faces of men
(4) Had hair of women
(5) Had teeth of lions
(6) Had breastplates
(7) Had wings
(8) Had tails like scorpions' tails
(9) Had power to hurt people 5 months |
The bottomless pit is the vast
emptiness of space. Interpretation:
The locusts are most likely symbolic of asteroids.
(Parenthetically, I saw these "creatures" in uninvited vision). They actually look like horses made out of
green plasma. Honestly, I'm not sure what to make of them.)

Lord of Lords (...because he is envious of the Sun, and wants to

*His vesture is dipped in
blood (meaning that
the beast is red).
*He rides a white horse (signifying perceived nobility).
*Out of his eyes comes fire (meaning it will get really, really hot; there will be solar flares and coronal mass ejections).
*A sword comes out of his mouth (meaning many will perish, including the beast and the false prophet). |

| Satan

Adversary

Accuser
Cognate of the Arabic word: shaitan.
Also said to denote remoteness from God.

None given in the Bible, except to
say that he was an angel, but... Professional Remote Viewer Major Ed Dames says that he remote viewed
Satan and Satan looked like a crystalline entity.
And, interestingly, has the same function as the crystalline entity of
Star Trek.
|
Satan is either a real entity, or
he is figurative. There are cases that can be made for both. I say that both are
correct. Satan is a real entity, AND the word "Satan" is
used figuratively in the Bible, especially when Jesus said to Peter,
"Get thee behind me Satan." Obviously, that was
figurative, because Peter was a flesh-and-blood human being, while Satan
is not. |
Satan is mentioned 57 times in the
Bible.
See Strong's.
We are introduced to Satan in the book of Job (which is recognized as
an allegory). In the book of Job, Satan is portrayed as kind of like
an accuser against humanity.
In Matthew 4, Satan is describe as "the tempter".

In Leviticus 17:7, the word se'irim

None given. |
According to Strong's Concordance
of the Bible, in Hebrew the word is literally he-goats. However, according to Online Etymology Dictionary, it
is a folklorish hairy monster said to inhabit deserts.
Both are true.
So, no, satyrs don't really exist. The satyrs in the Bible symbolize
demons that look like goats.

| Watchers
"Giant with two humans"
From an Akkadian Cylinder Seal. Picture is in the public domain.
|
- Sons of the elohim (gods)
- Meaning that they came from "heaven", which means from
space.
- There is a correlation with the Akkadian cylinder seal depictions of
giants, called "Anunnaki" (those from heaven to Earth came).
|
No one knows what they looked
like. No description was ever given in the Bible, probably because of the of the
second commandment which states that there shall be no images made of the
Hebrew gods.
The ancient Mesopotamian depictions of the Anunnaki (those from heaven
to Earth came) show beings twice the size of humans.
Their offspring became the giants of many cultures' folklore.
|
The word "elohim"
(gods) is the
plural of the word "eloah" (god). It is interesting to
note that the same Hebrew word used for their God(s) also applies to the pagan gods.
The gods of the pagans were originally personification of natural
phenomena, like Bel (Behemoth). I do not doubt that those personifications became very
literal to the people over time.
However, the Hebrew gods were corporeal beings, with whom the Hebrews
interacted. The watchers were the sons of gods that physically
mated with human beings in Genesis 6, creating giant offspring. |

The Witch of Endor
was described as a woman with a
familiar spirit in 1 Samuel.
These days, generally channelers and mediums will align themselves with
a particular spirit in order to perform their work.
Some magicians do likewise. Just type "demon magic" on
YouTube and you'll see tons of videos of magicians doing magic that is not
a trick. It defies the laws of physics.
It would appear that working with "familiar spirits" is a
very old profession.
|
NOT SYMBOLIC.
The Bible is replete with witches, sorcerers, magicians, astrologers,
Chaldeans, and soothsayers; those that communicate with familiar spirits,
and wizards.
The Bible speaks ill of such, saying that such things are of the devil (or
devils). There was a time when I disagreed, but now, I agree. It is
done by the power of the devils.
If you feel that you are being bothered by a devil or a demon, please
