Battle above the Clouds - Part 3

Battle above the Clouds - Part 3

January 21, 2013 - [o1.21.2013]

Before you proceed in reading this next chapter, I would urge you to read two previous articles, as it all fits together.  First, We Overcome and then go on to

Battle above the Clouds – Part 2

This next part will make the word that the Lord gave me fall into place, as well as what I saw in the sky.  It goes together like hand in glove.

Ancient Paths 

Satan aka Lucifer, never quit defying the Creator, not since the rebellion in heaven.  Neither did he quit his assault against mankind in the Garden of Eden, when he seduced Eve, tempting her to disobey the commandment of God.

When I had a vision that carried on over the course of a couple of days during a fast, back in the first week of April, 2010, I did not understand all that I was seeing.  (It is in the archives under 'What I Beheld', under week of April 4, 2011.) Now, more and more is being understood.

One thing I was keenly aware of was the demons, strong principalities (princes), right down to the lower ranking demons, as well as the harlot that were extremely active all over the map of the Western Hemisphere.

When I was in prayer this morning, I paused for a moment to look out the window, and there were two triangles, made from chemtrails.  One triangle was inside of another triangle, perfectly fit.  However, the triangles were on their sides (horizontal), which perplexed me.

The Lord led me to a site that explained much. Everything came together once the Lord led me to the resource He led me to.  The word He gave me, the scriptures He gave me, as well as the two triangles that I saw lying sideways in the sky (one inside of the other), made by chemtrails, all came together.

The pattern I saw today were patterns that I had never seen in the trails before in the chemtrail patterns; not since I first noticed chemtrails in 1998.  Our Lord's ways truly are far higher than our ways, and His thoughts from our thoughts.

 I will be presenting the information that the Lord led me to share here, as it goes hand in glove with what the Lord gave me at the break of 'dawn' (interesting phrase that, remember it).

Searching about triangles and their meanings (outside of the mathematical triangles, which are standard), I came across the following information. 

Summoning the Powerful Strongmen 

                   

One study I read states that occultists use the triangle as a symbol for summoning.  I found that most interesting, given the seven steps (the seven dates), the Lord had given me (in Part 4).   

A ritual is performed, and when it has culminated, the evil entity of choice is to appear, having been summoned.  The one who does the summoning remains inside a circle for protection.

Whether a triangle is upright or inverted has significant meaning also.  Upright always indicates a strong foundation, as well as stability. Upright triangles (depending on purpose/use of triangle) is representative of male energy (fire and air elements).  

Remember, I am speaking of occult purposes (which believers must have no part of), but also I speak of the triangle and not the pyramid.  The inverted triangle is representative of female energy (earth and water).  Undoubtedly, this is where the term 'mother earth' comes from.

Another interesting thing I read was the occult perspective of the positions of the triangles (what occultists believe) is that the upright triangles represent ascension into the spirit realm, whereas the inverted represent descent 'from' the spiritual realm.  The union of both triangles is represented in a hexagram.

The Lucis Trust, which was renamed from Lucifer Publishing, was founded by  Alice Bailey (occult writer) and is a branch off from Helena Blavatsky’s cult of Theosophy. 

In 1937, Bailey and Blavatsky formed a subsidiary group called Triangles.  For the purposes of meditation, they taught 'students' to form a three person triangle group. 

The purpose of these triangular, three person groups, according to Lucis Trust was to: “help to illuminate world thought, through which the new incoming Aquarian energies can function, the new ideas spread, and the New World Order emerge." 

That was an interesting bit of trivia, but what the Lord led me to next absolutely made me stand up and take notice, given the word He had given me this morning.  

What you are about to read comes from the hard work of another.  At the end, I will provide the link to the site, as it is quite an intriguing read.

The author of the work, Gwen Thomas, originally posted the article in 2007, updating her work again in 2008 and 2009 respectively.  There are times that I will underline or embolden words to highlight. Other times, the emboldening is hers.

------- Her writing begins:

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.

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. 

(she continues)...

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.  

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.    

(Note* - You will notice that what is done in secret will be exposed by God. It is the time of revealing. Glory to God. - BP)

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.

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 Triangle

In antiquity, "… triangles were conceived by the ancients to explain the secret order of the cosmos”.  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, 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 traveled 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. 

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.

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. 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 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 (see the article entitled: The Symbolism of Washington, DC (the Anatomy of a Fish excerpt)).

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.”

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

“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.” (Matt 16:13-19, 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”.

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.  

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.  

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.” 
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”, thus making it part of nature.  The ivy is also symbolic of a spiritual cord as alluded to by Jeremiah:

“O 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.” (Jer 48:32, 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.
