PROGRAM OF GOD
Pre-Flood Era: God created mankind to be of one language.
Old Testament: God confused the languages of Babylon.
Church Age: God broke the language barrier at Pentecost in order to spread the gospel.
The Millennium: God will remove the language curse of Babel and mankind will again have one language.
PROGRAM OF SATANIC DUPLICATION
Pre-Flood Era: Mankind developed a universal mystery language which employed symbols to communicate with demons.
Old Testament Period: After the confusion of languages at Babylon, pagan cultures and mystery schools retained the symbols of the universal language; the Zodiac was created to represent the pre-flood gods of Atlantis; pagan cultures and Cabalistic Jews used the Zodiac for divination.
Church Age: The Church adopted the Zodiac signs as heavenly representations of Christ; apostate Church leaders taught that God taught astrology to Adam and his godly descendants. Occult societies teach secret doctrine through the use of symbols; due to their conspiratorial nature and purpose, secret societies use symbolic language to conceal esoteric truths from the masses, and from lower ranking initiates.
Tribulation: Mystery schools will teach the meaning and use of symbols as a universal language. The Hall of Records in Egypt, which supposedly contains archives of the lost civilization of Atlantis written in hieroglyphics, will be 'discovered' and the symbols deciphered.
Great Tribulation: Symbols will once again become the universal language in the false Jewish millennium; the Mark of the Beast will be an occult symbol.
PROPHETIC DISPENSATIONS
PROGRAM OF GOD
And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. - Gen. 11:1
And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there... And 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... And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. - Gen. 11:2-9
And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. - Acts 2:1-11
For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord, to serve Him with one consent. - Zeph.3:9
PROGRAM OF SATAN
"Recent discoveries made by great mathematicians and Kabalists thus prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that every theology, from the earliest and oldest down to the latest, has sprung not only from a common source of abstract beliefs, but from one universal esoteric, or 'Mystery'-language. These scholars hold the key to the universal language of old, and have turned it successfully though only once, in the hermetically-closed door leading to the Hall of Mysteries. The great archaic system known from prehistoric ages as the sacred Wisdom-Science, one that is contained and can be traced in every old as well as in every new religion, had, and still has, its universal language--...--the language of the Hierophants, which has seven 'dialects' so to speak, each referring, and being specially appropriate, to one of the seven mysteries of Nature. Each had its own symbolism...
"The proof of this lies, to this day, in the extreme difficulty which the Orientalists in general, and the Indianists and Egyptologists especially, experience in interpreting the allegorical writings of the Aryans and the hieratic records of old Egypt. This is because...all the ancient records were written in a language which was universal and known to all nations alike in days of old, but which is now only intelligible to the few." (H.P. Blavatsky) - 209:310 (Vol. I)
"...in the land of Shinar...the confusion of tongues gave rise to 'the ancient practice of Masons conversing without the use of speech'." - 154:61-2
"Symbol:...ancients used it to denote a sign, a mark, watchword, signal, token, a sealing, etc...." - 387
"The Egyptians spoke of their hieroglyphic system of writing not as their own invention, but as 'the language of the gods'... 'The gods' were, doubtless, their highly civilized ancestors - the people of Atlantis - who, as we shall hereafter see, became the gods of many of the Mediterranean races." - 635:214
"In ancient Egyptian religion, the sun disk became a primary symbol of Ra, the sun god. He was called the 'Sun Of Righteousness with healing in his wings,' a title which Christians later adopted for their own god." - 1126
"For the alchemist, the heart was the image of the sun within man..." - 48:142
"In Egypt the egg was the symbol for the setting sun, which is often seen in that shape when about to touch the horizon. That egg passed into the underworld, and was hatched there, and out of it came the young sun the next morning, rising in his strength, which was called 'the flame born of a flame.'" - 642:9
"The circle or disk is very frequently an emblem of the sun..." - 48:46
"The symbol of the wolf would be regarded as positive from the fact that it can see in the dark. Hence it becomes a symbol of light, of the Sun,... This is the meaning attached to the beast in Scandinavia and among the ancient Greeks. To the first there was an attribute of Belen and to the latter of Lycian ('wolfish') Apollo... [A]ccording to Diodorus Siculus, Osiris, too, was resurrected in the shape of a wolf, 'to help his wife and son overcome his evil brother'.'" - 66:1119-20
"In the year A.D. 210...the Romans were too much attracted to the traditional conception of the sun to be able to accept Baal in the shape of a black stone." -782:187
"In Palmyra and ancient Syria the eagle was associated with the sun-god. It was said to be capable of rejuvenation like the phoenix. One process of rejuvenation involved the bird's plunging three times into the water; hence the eagle was a symbol of baptism and and depicted on baptismal fonts. It's high flying was seen as a parallel to Christ's ascension." - 100:108
"Be Wise As Serpents revealed for the first time...how all the heads (presidents) of the LDS and RLDS have been descendants of the Merovingian dynasty, and they and the Masons have both used the Merovingian symbol the bee." - 77:80
"The bee between the lips of the sun god was intended to point him out as 'the Word'; for Dabar, the expression which signifies in Chaldee 'a bee' signifies also a 'word'." - 156:194
"The occultist [Rudolph] Steiner, who has left us the most satisfactory account of the influence of esoteric schools on our western culture, makes the point that the imagery of the zodiac (an imagery which has influenced human thought and art for at least 2,500 years) originally proceeded from such esoteric schools in Babylon." - 911:17
"Three is scarcely a Christian symbol -- from the cross to the bread, from the Christos monogram to the vesica piscis -- which was not interpreted n a different way during pagan times, and so it is important that we recognize the particular way in which the medieval Christians adjusted to their own world-vision the most powerful of the pagan images." - 911:xii
Astrology was rejected by the early Church but revived during the Renaissance and Rosicrucian Enlightenment, after which it again declined.
"During the early middle ages, the early Christian hostility towards astrology and the decline of education in Greek led to the near-disappearance of astrology. It was re-introduced during the twelfth century when a great variety of Greek philosophical and scientific texts were translated from Arabic. Of course, Arabic language commentaries and original works were translated as well. The fifteenth and sixteenth centuries saw the first translations directly from Greek, notably Ptolemy's Tetrabiblos, and the Renaissance of the fifteenth through seventeenth centuries became one of the great ages of astrology. Astrology declined, however, with the rise of modern science in the late seventeenth century." - 896 ("Astrology In Medieval And Renaissance Europe")
"The early Church fathers prohibited astrology and the Great Council of Toledo banned it forever.
"Nevertheless six hundred years later the dates of the Pope's coronation were determined by the zodiac, the church hierarchy employed their own astrologers; and signs of the zodiac appeared all over Church furnishings, tiles, doorways, manuscripts and baptismal fonts.
"The 'Church' was sure that the study of astrology would undermine its religion if people thought that the sun, the moon, the stars, the signs of the zodiac and the planets, hold life and death at their own pleasure...and that they rule and govern both the bodies and souls of man.
"In this scenario the planets and stars should be adored and worshiped as gods, which they are of course.
"Astrology survives in our western culture because Christianity embraced it with one hand, while condemning it as a devilish art on the other.
"The respected Catholic Abbe Chauvre-Bertrand says, 'we do not realize how much the Liturgies owe to Astronomy.'" - 1077
"Those who are not familiar with the hermetic and occult basis of much early Christian symbolism may be surprised to find a zodiac within a church. The majority of moderns tend to think of the zodiac and related astrological ideas as being somehow pagan. However, the truth is that the zodiac, and its attendant astrological symbolism, was to some extent 'Christianized' in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries...
"The fact is...that the zodiacal symbolism, like that of the star-lore of the Arabian astrology, was thoroughly Christianized by the late twelfth century, and was used to quite remarkable ends in may different mediaeval and proto-Renaissance works of art. However, this 'Christianized' version of astrology should not itself disguise the fact that, in terms of ordinary history at least, the zodiac, planets and planisphere were originally pagan, and directly linked with the initiate of the Mystery Schools." - 911:16
"...as archetype, Christ was regarded as the perfection of all twelve [zodiacal signs]. Just as he had 'rule' over twelve human disciples on earth, so he had 'rule' over the twelve signs of the zodiac in the heavens: the great Clemens, writing from a living memory of the life of Christ, had no hesitation in equating the twelve disciples with the twelve signs of the zodiac, with Christ as the central sun...By such reasoning, the body of Christ, through the numinous power of the zodiac, merges with the body of man, to become a single united symbol within the church." - 911:22
"Astrology died at the end of the 17th century with the rise of modern science. Modern astronomers were and are quite hostile to a rival. When Bouché-Leclercq wrote, in the late 19th century, the beginnings of a modern revival were barely visible. It became popular once more in the aftermath to WW I and the revulsion toward that disaster, brought about by modern science and technology, many thought. Robert Graves was not the only one to conclude that anything might be true, except what you read in newspapers. The techniques of modern astrology were partly taken from reprints of Renaissance astrologers, such as Lilly, partly brought to Europe from India by such groups as the Theosophical Society." - 896 ("Astrology Since The Renaissance")
"Part of the symbols [of Freemasonry] 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 that he shall understand them. Their true explication is reserved for the Adepts, the princes of Masonry." (Albert Pike, Morals & Dogma) - 155:819
"...in The Aquarian Conspiracy...Marilyn Ferguson had said that the 'conspirators' communicated by code words and signals..." - 79:32
"Robert Langdon, Professor of Religious Symbology, Harvard University... Tonight's lecture--a slide show about pagan symbolism hidden in the stones of Chartres Cathedral... His books on religious paintings and cult symbology had made him a reluctant celebrity in the art world... He is the author of numerous books: The Symbology of Secret Sects, The Art of the Illuminati, The Lost Language of Ideograms...Religious Iconography... As someone who had spent his life exploring the interconnectivity of disparate elements and ideologies, Langdon viewed the world as a web of profoundly intertwined histories and events. The connections may be invisible, he often preached to his symbology classes at Harvard, but they are always there, buried just beneath the surface... Langdon thought...my zodiac iconography is pretty good... Astrology was a symbolic constant all over the world... Da Vinci...incorporated in many of his Christian paintings hidden symbolism that was anything but Christian--tributes to his own beliefs and a subtle thumbing of his nose at the Church. Langdon had even given a lecture once at the National Gallery in London entitled 'The Secret Life of Leonardo: Pagan Symbolism in Christian Art'." (The Da Vinci Code) 935:7-8, 15-16, 19, 45-48
"Several of the Founding Fathers believed that the Republic represented the godly foretold in Revelation. There was, however, no clear dividing line between those who derived inspiration from the bible and those who looked to the Enlightenment. The latter strain, illustrated by masonic symbolism, was often richly apocalyptic: according to Michael Grosso, the eye enclosed in a triangle which still adorns the dollar bill, 'points back to the evolutionary trinity of Joachim's philosophy of history,' while the pyramid which the bill depicts is deliberately unfinished, suggesting that the pinnacle of human civilization lies ahead." - 364:97
See: Masonic Symbols*
False teachers claim that God taught the Zodiac to Adam and the descendants of Seth who conveyed this knowledge to future civilizations.
"We are told in Genesis that God put the stars in the heavens for signs, and these signs convey a message. The theory we are presenting is that God revealed that message to Adam and to his sons and grandsons and that message has gone into all of the civilizations of the world and has been passed down through the centuries...
"According to Arabic tradition, the signs came from Seth and Enoch. This tradition is interesting since it links these signs to the grandson of Adam and says that Enoch and his father Seth (both men of faith) were the founders of this ancient understanding of the heavens." (D. James Kennedy) - 872:14,13
"...says Comenius...'A great need for the spread of light is that there should be a universal language which all can understand. The learned men of the new order will devote themselves to this problem." - 46:179
"Symbols play a vital role to those involved in the New Age Movement... The symbols serve...as a form of universal language." - 76:64-5
"...world servers...will develop new schools called mystery schools... They will teach the use of symbols because symbols hide within themselves a divine idea of the creator." - 222:5
"One of the most persistent accounts given by Edgar Cayce during his deep trances concerned:
"'References and clues [which] indicate Egypt as a repository for records - records of Atlantis and ancient Egypt during the time of Ra-Ta, which may some day be found... Also that around 10,500 B.C. the Cayce readings state that a vast underground repository was established containing a library of wisdom from the lost civilization of Atlantis:...
"According to the readings, the Hall of Records is to be discovered and re-entered when 'the time has been fulfilled' -- which, Cayce suggested, would be at or just before the close of the twentieth century, perhaps in 1998. The readings allude frequently to Old and New Testaments of the Bible, certain numerous references to Jesus, and depict the rediscovery of the Hall of Records as being linked in some way to a series of events that will prelude the 'Second Coming' of Christ.
"...the so-called 'Hall of Records' of Atlantis...is believed to have been preserved at Giza since 10,500 BC under the Sphinx..." - 132:88-89
The Gospel In The Stars
"This fascinating theory is that God used the clustering of stars that we call constellations as object lessons about His future plans for salvation and other prophetic subjects. This material is taken primarily from The Gospel In The Stars by Joseph A. Seiss - originally published in 1882. It also draws from E.W. Bullinger's The Witness of the Stars and a tape by Chuck Missler called 'The Mazzaroth'...
"Aquarius, the Waterman, is a man with a large vase of water which he is pouring out from the sky. This would be an apt portrayal the giving of the Holy Spirit whose influence Jesus likened to streams of living water (John 7:37-39)...
"If there is any real meaning to the gradually changing position of the vernal equinox, it would be that the Age of the Church will give way to the even more glorious age of The Holy Spirit, The Millennium and New Beginnings...
"This theory is endorsed today by such well known Bible teachers as Chuck Missler (Audio tape: 'The Mazzaroth') and Dr. James Kennedy of the Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church (Message televised Jan. 7, 1996). It is also accepted by Dr. Henry M Morris in his book, The Long War Against God (pp. 265-269). Dr. Morris, president of the Institute for Creation Research.
"Note: This theory of a 'Gospel In The Stars,' is accepted by many prophecy scholars, but rejected by others." - 684
GREAT TRIBULATION / GOLDEN AGE
"I was told by Enoch that 'the Light pictographs' will seal the bodies that will be resurrected. Therefore I was told that those anointed through divine pictographs would receive their knowledge through pictographs of light..." - 5:148, quoting J.J. Hurtak, Keys of Enoch

And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences shall stand up. - Dan.8:23
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. - Rev. 13:16-18

PERSONAL APPLICATION
Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee. Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it. Is. 47:13-14

PROGRAM OF GOD
Pre-Flood Era: God set a protective mark on Cain, in order for the program of redemption to go forward.
Old Testament Period: God set a protective mark on the foreheads of those Jews who grieved over the abominations done in Jerusalem.
Church Age: God seals believers in Christ with the Holy Spirit and with His name.
Tribulation: The 144,000 will be sealed in their foreheads with God's protective seal.
Great Tribulation: Judgment will befall those who have taken the Luciferic initiation and its mark.
The Millennium: The glorified state will reveal that all of God's people have been sealed with God's mark in their foreheads; God will set a seal upon Satan to prevent him from deceiving nations.
New Heavens & New Earth: All God's people in the New Jerusalem will be sealed with God's mark in [on] their foreheads.
PROGRAM OF SATANIC DUPLICATION
Pre-Flood Era: Satan redefined the mark of Cain.
Old Testament Period: Israel embraced the mark of Cain (Star of Remphan).
Church Age: The occult redefined the hexagram and associated it with Adam and David instead of Cain and Solomon. The unsaved have been conditioned to receive the mark of the Beast through the promotion of the Star of David (Solomon's Seal), tattoos and the Harry Potter books/movies.
Tribulation: Microchip implants will be deceptively promoted as the mark of the Beast.
Great Tribulation: At the Luciferic initiation, the Antichrist will cause all people to receive his mark (666/hexagram/X) on their right hands or foreheads.
PROPHETIC DISPENSATIONS
PROGRAM OF GOD
And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.- Gen. 4:15
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. - Gen. 3:15
He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand. And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar. And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer's inkhorn by his side; And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. - Ezek. 9:1-4
"I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth." - Num. 24:17
"And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. And I will give him the morning star." - Rev. 2:28

Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. - Rev.3:12.
And I beheld when he had opened the SIXTH SEAL... And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God...saying, Hurt not the earth...sea, nor the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. And I heard the number of them which were sealed...(144,000)... - Rev.6:12-7:4
Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads... And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

...the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and His servants shall serve Him: and they shall see His face; and His name shall be in their foreheads. - Rev.22:3-4
PROGRAM OF SATAN
The symbols "X" (the tau cross) and the six-pointed star are symbols of the Saturn-god, which is the third Adam (Christ being the Second Adam), and will be used as the mark of the beast. The Saturn-god's number is 6 because Saturn is the 6th planet; Adam's number is also 6 because he was created on the sixth day. Hence, the third Adam would be represented by the number 666. (See: Antichrist/False Prophet: Third Adam/666 11.D)
The first half of the Tribulation Period will rely on the Mondex system to bring about a cashless society. See: Buying & Selling: Barter & Exchange System 2.A. This system will be followed at mid-Tribulation with a barter and exchange system, which uses the six-pointed star as the Mark of a Luciferic initiation, given in the form of a tattoo. (Rev.13:17) The six-pointed star represents man's ascent to divinity. [Glorification of Saints/Divinity of Man 21.D]
A tattoo, traditionally a component of initiation rites, bonds the initiate with the entity symbolized by the tattoo and enables him to communicate with that demonic power. Like a wedding band which represents an indissoluble union of two people, the initiate's tattoo "becomes a badge of fealty" to the "creature or thing to which that person is assimilated". Since Lucifer aspires to be "like God", in his pride he will orchestrate a counterfeit fulfillment of the Bible prophecies concerning Jesus Christ. The terminology used in the Dictionary of Symbols to describe the initiation tattoo [see below] suggests that Lucifer will bond his followers to himself in a sacred marriage rite, the Satanic equivalent of the Marriage of the Lamb, the Lord Jesus Christ, to His Bride.
In verses pertaining to the mark of the beast, the Authorized Version departs from the Greek Textus Receptus, which must be considered the final authority. The mark will be "on" the hand or forehead, according to the Received Greek Text.
"...we have in that symbol [six-pointed star] a representation of the Ancient Wisdom, and the love of Christ ... which is to be realized by humanity in this New Age - the age of Aquarius; The Star is the symbol of the perfect life, the perfect balance, of the Christ-man. The six-pointed star is the Star of Bethlehem, which again means the Star of the Son of man." - 158
"The six-pointed star...symbolizes man as God." 160
"Saturn was the cosmic Adam... Saturn's identity as the Heaven Man and first ancestor appears again and again in Gnosticism and alchemy and in the traditions of the Kabala. 'As the first man,' observes Jung, 'Adam...is not only the prima materia but a universal soul which is also the soul of all men.' Saturn, Jung adds, is a synonym for Adam and the prima materia." - 93:33-4
"The six-pointed star is also the macrocosm or universal man..." - 66:886
"'x' shape...is one form of the TAU" - 96:95
"TAU... [is the] letter " - 153:215
"the X sign... was identified with the Archangel Michael." - 29:299
Yea, 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. - Acts 7:43
But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun [Remphan] your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves. - Amos 5:26
See: Strong's Concordance
4481 Rhemphan {hrem-fan'} by incorrect transliteration for a word of Hebrew origin 3594; n pr m AV - Remphan 1; 1 Remphan = "the shrunken (as lifeless)" 1) the name of an idol worshipped secretly by the Israelites in the wilderness
3594 Kiyuwn {kee-yoon'} from 3559; n pr dei AV - Chiun 1; 1 Chiun = "an image" or "pillar" 1) probably a statue of the Assyrian-Babylonian god of the planet Saturn and used to symbolise Israelite apostasy
"The first mention of this symbol was in 922 B.C. when Solomon got involved in witchcraft and magic. In fact, he built an altar to the heathen god Ashtoreth (star) and to Moloch, although God appeared unto him twice and told him not to do this thing." - 211:3
And Solomon numbered all the strangers that were in the land of Israel, after the numbering wherewith David his father had numbered them; and they were found an hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and six hundred. - II Chron. 2:17

- The hexagram is an important symbol of alchemy, the occult science of transforming matter into spirit.
"The alchemists’ spiritual focus on essence, rather than matter, was supposed to increase the proportion of the fifth essence in the make-up of the entire world. The quintessence was thought to be present within each of the four elements as its sublime creature: in the water as the dolphin, in fire as the phoenix, in the air as the eagle and on earth as the human race. At the same time, the quintessence was believed to envelop and extend beyond each of the others. The graphic symbol corresponding to the quintessence is the pentacle." 100:276
"Any geometrical figure, especially double equilateral triangle, the six-pointed star, (like the theosophical pentacle); called also Solomon's seal, and still earlier as 'the sign of Vishnu'; used by all the mystics, astrologers, etc." (H.P. Blavatsky) - 316 "Pentacle"
"The emblem of the [Masonic] Royal Arch Degree is called the Triple Tau, and is a figure consisting of three tau crosses." - 415:254
"....it is a universal principle in all idolatries that the high priest wears the insignia of the god he serves." - 156:45 (Please note that Prince Michael Stewart's symbol is St. Andrew's Cross.)
"The year 1317...saw a change in the administration of the Templars... The King of Scots was installed as the hereditary Sovereign Grand Master, and from that time, whichever descending king filled the office, he was to be known simply as 'Saint Germain'...
On 31 December 1703...the Order of St. Germain became the primary Stewart Order in Europe, bearing St Andrew['s Cross] as its insignia." - 92:65,156
"Don't miss this rare opportunity to experience a dictation from an Ascended Master and to receive St. Germain's transfer of light -- personally to each one present -- by the emerald matrix, the 'sealing of the servants of God in their foreheads'. Rev. 7 (in the third eye). Be there! and enter the Aquarian Age." - 403
"...nothing in the Bible, either linguistically or grammatically, indicates that the mark of the beast in Revelation 13 is a literal mark on, or in, the skin." - 805:127
"It is my well-researched opinion that the Mark of the Beast, as related in scripture, is absolutely literal. Soon, all people on earth will be coerced into accepting a Mark in their right hand or forehead. I am convinced that it will be an injectable passive RFID transponder with a computer chip — a literal injection with a literal electronic biochip 'mark'... I believe that such an implanted identification mark literally will become Satan's Mark of the Beast, as we will discuss further in this chapter." 806:587
GREAT TRIBULATION / GOLDEN AGE
"The Star is the symbol of the perfect life, the perfect balance, of the Christ-man. The six-pointed star is the Star of Bethlehem, which again means the Star of the Son of man...
"The star with the six points represents the star of Light...of brotherhood, the Star of Christ. The love of Christ is represented by this Star. So, we have in that symbol a representation of the Ancient Wisdom, and the love of Christ, the wisdom and love combined, which is to be realized by humanity in this New Age - the age of Aquarius." - 158"[Regarding the six-pointed star, the] upwards pointing pyramid is an ancient symbol for the power of a king with its best resting on Earth and its summit reaching to Heaven. The other represents the power of the priest, established in Heaven and reaching down to Earth. In this overlapping form it is the mark of the double messiah: the priestly...messiah and the kingly...messiah. As such it is the only true sign of Jesus and it carries the extra meaning as being the representative of the bright star of David's line that arose in the morning... It should be the mark of Christianity..." -161:239-41
"The Encyclopedia Judaica says of the six-pointed star (which they call the hexagram) that two Cablists, Isaiah, the son of Joel Ba'al Shem and Abraham Hayyim Kotten, testify that the symbol sprang up in kabbalistic circles where the 'Shield of David' became the 'Shield of the son of David,' the Messiah." - 211:84
"Saint Germain is said to come from the Central Sun, where Sanat Kumara, the Great One, lives." - 5:49
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a MARK on their right hand, or on their foreheads: and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred threescore six. - Rev.13:16-18
- 666
"According to [Djwhal Khul], the number 666 has to do with the ... greater initiation... " - 161:103
- X/Tau Cross
"...the familiar X sign...(a)s confirmed in the Dead Sea Scrolls was placed on the foreheads of those who cried for Jerusalem (Ezekiel 9:4), and was granted at the highest degree of Community initiation into the Sanctuary." - 29:251
"The Royal Arch rite was largely based on Ezekiel, a prophet who...had a vision of God's destruction of Jerusalem [Ezekiel 9:10]. He saw that God placed the tau symbol upon the foreheads of the righteous; everyone else he slaughtered for persisting in sin." - 241:46
- Hexagram/Six-Pointed Star
"...the Seal of Solomon or six-pointed star, or hexagram...was also combined with the Tau cross, or the Crux Ansanta in the center." - 211:33
"The six-pointed star is a symbol of the lost archetype of The Sacred Marriage, representing the balance of male and female...and essential for our personal and planetary healing." - 285
"...equilibrium (unity and synthesis), according to Masonic doctrine, is man's ultimate destiny." - 41:87
"The Septenary Universe unfolds seamlessly from Infinity to the physical plane but it was divided into Seven Planes of Existence--or states of consciousness--by The Hierarchy who released this information through Mme. Blavatsky. The Three Higher Planes--Atma (Infinity), Buddhi (Light) and Manas (Higher Intelligence) constitute the Higher Self. The Higher Self is represented by the triangle pointing upwards. Interestingly enough, everyone and everything in the Universe has the same three principles in their seven-principled bodies and this constitutes the principle of Universal Brotherhood.
"The triangle pointing downwards is representative of the lower self, the three principles of sensient life--the 'breath of life' (which is a reflection of the Highest Principle), the Astral Body and the physical Body.
"When we come into existence, these two triangles are separated, the higher above the lower. In between is a single point of consciousness which represents the soul. The soul is the vehicle of our desires. If we desire the things of the lower principles, the fire of out soul is directed downward and, if our lower desires are strong enough, goes out.
"However, if we direct the fire upwards into our Higher Self, we receive the higher energies necessary to raise our lower self into harmony with our Higher Self. Thus the lower and Higher self become locked together in place in perfect Union by the principle of the soul. Thus we attain full consciousness awareness on all planes of the universe and he have, in effect, spiritualized our lower self, to the point where it has raised its energies into Union with the Higher.
"As the great metaphysician Mme. Helena Roerich said, 'Man becomes simply a god...and then God.'" - 158
"In some pictures of a tattooed man we are faced by a permanent prayer to and identification with the heavenly powers, at the same time as a basic means of communication with them. Such is the most generalized meaning of tattooing bestowed in consequence of a rite of initiation which allows this communication to take place. At the same time, this initiation is a rite of admission into a social group and the tattoo is the permanent mark of that initiation, the badge of the tribe.
"All in all, tattooing belongs among symbols of identification and is interfused with all their magic and mystic potency. Identification always carries a double meaning: it tends to invest the individual concerned with the properties and strength of the creature or thing to which that person is assimilated and, at the same time, to immunize the latter against its potential power to cause harm. This is why tattoos depict dangerous creatures such as serpents or scorpions, or animals which are symbols of fertility, such as bulls or of power, such as lions, and so on. Identification also carries a sense of surrender or even of consecration to whatever the tattoo symbolically depicts. It then becomes a badge of fealty." 66:975-6
"...'the mark of a savior'...will embody the mark or indication of a new type of salvation." - 130:233-4
"...Mikhail Bakunin...is quoted as saying, 'Satan was the first free thinker and the savior of the world. He freed Adam and impressed the seal of humanity and liberty ON HIS FOREHEAD by making him disobedient." - 25:115
"In this overlapping form [the Star of David] is the mark of the double messiah: the priestly ... messiah and the kingly...messiah. As such it is the only true sign of Jesus, and it carries the extra meaning as being the representative of the BRIGHT STAR OF DAVID'S LINE THAT AROSE IN THE MORNING. If the Star of David is a symbol of the unified messiah-ship of Jesus, it should be the mark of Christianity. Then the question has to be, what is the symbol of Judaism? The answer is the cross. This is the mark of the 'TAU' and it is this shape of cross upon which Jesus was crucified. The TAU was the mark of Yahweh...the Kenites bore ON THEIR FOREHEADS long before Moses came across them in the wilderness... " - 162:140-141
"We often hear of 666 being the number of the Solar Logos and the ideal length of Glastonbury Abbey. These associations are all derived from the Hebrew Cabala. In the Cabalistic Tree of Life, spheres are traditionally numbered from the Crown Chakra-Kether downwards. The Heart chakra-Tiphareth is numbered 6 in this pattern. Each sphere has a magickal square. The square for Tiphareth-sun-Heart chakra is constructed by using its number 6: A square with 6 columns and 6 rows, or 6 x× 6 = 36 sub-squares. Then the numbers 1 through 36 are placed in these 36 boxes so that each row or column adds up to 111. Thus the total value of the square of the sun is 666 - the Solar Logos." - 690
"[Concerning]...the Occult Underground’s gradual initiation of the bewitched and ignorant into the Masonic-Grail Mysteries. Only a few readers have taken notice of the dualism represented with Harry Potter ('white magician') and his rival, the 'dark lord Voldemort (evil, murderous demon force): a wand given to Harry was the twin of Voldemort’s. Voldemort left a lightning bolt-shaped scar upon Harry’s forehead, this symbolizing the Agni chakra center, or Third Eye/Grail. Agni was the Hindu fire god who fell to earth out of the sky as did Lucifer/Satan:
"Luke 10: 18 - 'And he (Yeshua) said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.'
"The scar, an ancient pagan rune, is suggestive of the Luciferic Initiation mark (Greek 'charagma', 'cutting in the skin') of the Beast. After the Antichrist’s warlock, the False Prophet, enters the world scene, most of those receptive to the Harry Potter series will get their chance to join an actual Hogwarts Mystery Lodge, prefigured by the so-called Geller Kids, psychic prodigies trained to harness paranormal powers and 'gifts'. May mankind awaken before the nightmare begins. I don’t know whether or not Rowling is a secret associate of the Priory. It can’t be denied that she’s doing them a favor in indoctrinating bored, careless, and uninformed children and adults worldwide." - 853
"In a service that was actually led by Wes Campbell, Marc DuPont felt led to 'move in the prophetic,' calling selected men forward to be 'ambassadors for the Kingdom of God' to other pastors and leaders in the Body of Christ because 'it's not a Vineyard message it's a kingdom message, what God is doing.'
"'Many leaders are going to be greatly shaken, I think that means not just theologically, but as already happening, many are being shaken in the spirit, it's happening quickly, talk about paradigm shifts, many people are just losing their paradigms and that's what needs to happen ... I believe God wants to put a mark on many of you, even right now ... He wants to put a mark upon you, I believe the Lord is going to start challenging you to contact other pastors and leaders that you've had relationship with in the past where maybe there's been rocky turmoil things ... God's going to want to use some of you to be ambassadors for what He's doing here, because He's wanting this to go to other churches ... I believe the Lord is going to put a mark on some of you and He's going to put a burden within you for some other pastors, Lutheran, Baptist, whatever ... We're going to, uh, I see in the Spirit the angel, an angel, I don't know if it's the angel of the Lord, but angels are going to come and the Holy Spirit is going to put a cross on some of you...'
"I spoke enough of DuPont here and in another place to let you know enough about him. I'll close with a little comment on his 'mystical' ministry practices. On a tape featuring Wes Campbell, Marc is called forward to pray for a few of the pastors. In the ministry time, Marc proclaims that he is 'placing a mark' on them, prophetically!" - 848
