Rereading Prophecy Revisited

Chapter Nine

____________

Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who is seated on many waters, with whom the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality, and with the wine of whose sexual immorality the dwellers on earth have become drunk." And he carried me away in the spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns. The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality. And on her forehead was written a name of mystery: "Babylon the great, mother of prostitutes and of earth's abominations." And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her, I marveled greatly. But the angel said to me, "Why do you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her. The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to rise from the bottomless pit and go to destruction. And the dwellers on earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel to see the beast, because it was and is not and is to come. This calls for a mind with wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated; they are also seven kings, five of whom have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he does come he must remain only a little while. As for the beast that was and is not, it is an eighth but it belongs to the seven, and it goes to destruction. And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received royal power, but they are to receive authority as kings for one hour, together with the beast. These are of one mind, and they hand over their power and authority to the beast. They will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with Him are called and chosen and faithful." (Rev 17:1–14)

____________

This calls for a mind with wisdom—the wisdom required for understanding the symbolism of Babylon the great goes beyond the trope of appearance-is-function and comes from the iteration of horns as symbols of headship …

Marriage between one man and one woman is the most commonly experienced example of headship; for a man is the head of his wife as Christ is the Head of the Church and as God is the Head of Christ (1 Cor 11:3), a fractal relationship revealing the geometry of penetration: the husband penetrates his wife for purposes of procreation [within a marriage, sexual relations are not limited to procreation] is analogous to the spirit of God [pneuma Theou] penetrating the spirit [pneuma] of Jesus, which repeats in the spirit of Christ [pneuma Christou] penetrating the spirit [pneuma] of man that is the head of the person’s inner self [psuche or soul], with the person’s inner self also being the head of the outer self, and with the male outer self being the head of the female outer self, his wife. This fractal produces no orphans but produces both spiritual and physical children. This fractal also functions as the chiral image of the Adversary’s headship over his presently reigning hierarchy, a hierarchy in which the Adversary as the gold head of spiritual Babylon reigns over lesser kings, “white metal” kings, as their head with fewer repetitions than seen in the kingdom of God.

Fractals mathematically “deconstruct” the geometry of roughness, the geometry of the natural world of mountains and hills, streams and valleys, steppes and plains, beasts and human beings. Fractals make visible the geometry of marriage, not something usually perceived as appropriate for geometric exploration; for fractals aren’t about producing something new, but about seeing and comprehending what was previously invisible through looking not at “what is” but considering what it took to produce “what is.” And what it took to produce marriage was the creation of a man and a woman in the likeness Elohim, a regular plural that didn’t assume the mantle of being an honorific plural until monotheism became the idol Israel began to worship in the 6^th & 7^th Centuries BCE. What it took to deconstruct the geometry of marriage was Yah entering His creation as His unique Son, and while in His creation as the Beloved of the Other, the Father, having the spirit/breath of the Other enter into [eis from Mark 1:10] Him in an act of divine procreation, an act of penetration analogous to Elohim [singular in usage] breathing His breath into the nostrils of the man of mud, thereby giving life to the first Adam, making this first man a nephesh, a breathing creature. And Elohim penetrated Adam a second time and in an unexpected way: “So [YHWH] God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh” (Gen 2:21). To take a rib from Adam’s side, Elohim needed to place His hand inside the man, then close His entrance hole with flesh … the first penetration came from Elohim breathing His breath into Adam’s nostrils; the second was of the sort that should have produced death, represented by the deep sleep that came over Adam. It is of this second penetration that Elohim created Eve, the life-giver from then on. But the life-giver only when she was penetrated by her head, her husband.

Without refinement of the marriage model, Moses permitted Israel to divorce, husbands from wives, because of the hardness of the people’s hearts. But the geometry of marriage permits no divorce; for can a person’s soul [psuche] separate itself from the body [soma] and the person still live? Regardless of movie presentations of zombies and the living dead, it is the spirit of man [to pneuma tou ’anthropou] that animates the flesh of a human person and permits the flesh to know those things that pertain to human beings. It was this spirit that was taken from King Nebuchadnezzar for seven years, and in lieu of this spirit of man, Nebuchadnezzar was given the spirit of a beast—of an ox—for these seven years.

God the Father twice gave life to His beloved, once in the form of His breath, His spirit, entering the man Jesus about where a whale’s blowhole would be located. He gave life then a second time when He raised Jesus’ fleshly body from death, thereby returning to His Beloved His former glory. By again entering the man Jesus as Elohim twice entered Adam to produce first the man and then the first woman, these two being one flesh, God established the model for marriage when there is comprehension of the geometry of marriage. Thus ALL sexual relations outside of marriage is rebellion against God; for a marriage made before God only ends with death of either spouse, the husband representing the inner self [soul] and the wife representing the outer self [body].

But not all marriages are made before God. A marriage made between a man and a man is not a marriage made before God but is a civil union only. Likewise, a marriage made between unbelievers is not a marriage before God but is a civil union only. A marriage between a believer and an unbeliever is a marriage that should not occur, and is analogous to a marriage between an ancient Israelite and Canaanite, a prohibited marriage.

Again, the geometry of marriage, of penetration, of headship underlies human sexuality and makes visible the relationship between inner and outer selves in this present spiritual/physical hybrid state as well as in the resurrection and acceptance of human sons of God when they appear before the Father as the spotless Bride of Christ. The concept of reincarnation is outside this geometry of marriage: the soul doesn’t return in another body, and the body doesn’t live without the soul to animate the flesh. However, the spirit of man that knows the things of man is humanly born dead; yet the person lives physically. The person, though, does not live spiritually; for the spirit of man in this person is as a young woman who is a virgin. The spirit of man in this person has not yet been penetrated by the spirit of Christ. This spirit of the person is as a maid in her father’s house, subject to her father being her head until she marries, with her father being the prince of this world, the Adversary. Hence, Paul wrote, “For God has consigned all to disobedience, that He may have mercy on all” (Rom 11:32), and, “You were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience—among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind” (Eph 2:1–3).

Those things that Moses delivered to Israel about sexual relations, about vows, about cleanliness that seem to have nothing to do with biblical prophecy—all come under the geometry of headship … to understand biblical prophecy, it is necessary to understand the geometry of marriage, fractal geometry, with what Hebrew scribes did when idolatrous kings took Israel (northern and southern kingdoms) far from God making the task more difficult through transforming linguistic determinatives into proper nouns and burying the geometry of marriage in worship of the queen of heaven, the Mary cult in this Christian era.

An erect penis represents a “horn” for the penis is an instrument of penetration that signifies “headship,” one over the other as in the relationship between a king and his subjects. Thus, a prophetic horn comes under the rubric of the geometry of marriage.

John is told that, “the seven heads are seven mountains,” which will now have “mountains” coming under the geometry of marriage. But mountains are an easily understood fractal:

In the Nova (PBS) broadcast of, Hunting the Hidden Dimension (originally aired October 28, 2008, and rebroadcast August 24, 2011), Loren Carpenter (now of Pixar Animation Studios) said, in talking about his work at Boeing,

[Boeing engineers were designing experimental aircraft] “Exotic things, with two wings or two tails or two fuselages … I would get the data from them and make pictures from various angles, but I wanted to be able to put a mountain behind it [the experimental plane] because every Boeing publicity photo in existence has a mountain being it. But there was no way to do mountains. Mountains had millions and millions of little triangles or polygons or whatever you want to call it, and we had enough trouble with a hundred. … In 1978, I ran into this book in a bookstore … within three days, I was producing pictures of mountains on my computer at work. The method is dead simple. You start with a landscape made out of very rough triangles, big ones. And then for each triangle, break it into, into four triangles. And then do that again, and then again and again and again. … The pictures were stunning. They were just totally stunning. No one had ever seen anything like this. And I just opened a whole new door to a new world of making pictures.” [computer graphics]

The visual complexity of a mountain comes from repetition of self-similarity: millions of similar shapes coming from one shape, or from a few similar shapes …

Humanity comes from now billions of similar shapes produced via the geometry of marriage. A man lying with another man produces no person similar to himself, same for a woman with a woman. Only through Adam knowing his wife Eve, replicated roughly fifty-five billion times, do the seven billion human persons alive come forth, each similar one to another.

From how mountains are naturally drawn in pixels, it can be seen why a mountain represents a king and his subjects, with the king being the head of his people as a husband is the head of his wife. And today, the Adversary as the gold head of Babylon reigns over living creatures, the billions of self-similar productions that have come from the geometry of penetration, human and animal.

God is light: light casts no shadow of itself. What blocks the light casts a shadow of itself. Hence deconstructing the geometry of roughness inherent to marriage means comprehending the fractal of penetration as light penetrates darkness, disclosing what has been concealed by the darkness. Deconstructing the riddle of the beasts—not simply solving the riddle—but dissecting the riddle so that it can never again be used begins with a figurative running of the bulls.

In ancient Israel, women were necessary for reproduction of the nation, but the social status women held wasn’t greater than a slave, than property. This is seen in perhaps the most detested commandment given:

You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's. (Ex 20:17 emphasis added)

Your neighbor’s wife was his property akin to his slaves and his livestock … move this into the geometry of headship: the neighbor was the head of his wife as he was the head of his slaves as he was the head of his livestock, with which he was forbidden to lay [penetrate] in the way that obedient angels are not to penetrate [possess, or take headship over] human persons. Rebellious angels—demons—will possess human persons, or pigs, or other creatures lower than themselves. So a shepherd with wool in his zipper is analogous to a demon/demons possessing a human being and having headship over the person of the sort a man has over his wife, or the inner self of a person has over the outer self of the person.

For too long, Christians have shied away from discussions of a sexual nature, with this reluctance to confront the geometry of penetration, the geometry of headship, keeping biblical prophecies sealed and secret. Thus, what will seem as a graphic discussion of sex is but an aspect of dissecting the riddle of seven heads being seven mountains.

Before going farther, permit me to say I once attended a Bible Study in Soldotna, Alaska [of the Kenai WCG congregation], where Pastor Earl Roemer opened by saying, Wives don’t have to obey their husbands, which is true of Christians, with the “truth” of Mr. Roemer’s statement expressed by the wives of the men present through the lack of secondary headcoverings [their longish hair was their primary headcovering, showing their submission to God, but they had no sign on their heads indicating that their husbands were their physical heads]. Christian wives, because they are also inwardly sons of God, will or won’t want to submit to their husbands, with those who won’t submit being in rebellion against God as a Christian worshiping on Sunday is unknowingly in rebellion against God.

Most of the men present at this Bible Study knew beforehand what Mr. Roemer was going to say; however, I didn’t so I wasn’t primed to jump on him. Also, because of an inherited audio-dysfunction, I have to roll a person’s words around before I hear an utterance as words, not just noise. And by the time I “heard” what Earl (I had a first name relationship with Mr. Roemer) said, I also heard, don’t have to, the significance of what was said. Christian wives choose to obey or not obey their husbands, with obedience being a matter of faith just as obedience to God, Father and Son, is a matter of faith for every Christian—and with all of this fitting into the geometry of headship.

The Bible Study started at 7:00 pm … at 1:00am, with the Bible study still going strong, I packed up my three sleeping daughters, my wife and myself and left. After I left, the Study wound down and adjourned with the issue of whether wives had to obey their husbands still unresolved for most of the men present—

Their wives, by not wearing secondary headcoverings, told their husbands what they thought about submitting to husbands as they submitted to the Lord.

However, in ancient Israel wives didn’t have the luxury of choosing-to or not choosing to submit to their husbands, with the classic example of female non-personhood found in the test for hidden real or perceived adultery:

And [YHWH] spoke to Moses, saying, "Speak to the people of Israel, If any man's wife goes astray and breaks faith with him, if a man lies with her sexually, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband, and she is undetected though she has defiled herself, and there is no witness against her, since she was not taken in the act, and if the spirit of jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife who has defiled herself, or if the spirit of jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife, though she has not defiled herself, then the man shall bring his wife to the priest and bring the offering required of her, a tenth of an ephah of barley flour. He shall pour no oil on it and put no frankincense on it, for it is a grain offering of jealousy, a grain offering of remembrance, bringing iniquity to remembrance. And the priest shall bring her near and set her before [YHWH]. And the priest shall take holy water in an earthenware vessel and take some of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle and put it into the water. And the priest shall set the woman before [YHWH] and unbind the hair of the woman's head and place in her hands the grain offering of remembrance, which is the grain offering of jealousy. And in his hand the priest shall have the water of bitterness that brings the curse. Then the priest shall make her take an oath, saying, 'If no man has lain with you, and if you have not turned aside to uncleanness while you were under your husband's authority, be free from this water of bitterness that brings the curse. But if you have gone astray, though you are under your husband's authority, and if you have defiled yourself, and some man other than your husband has lain with you, then' (let the priest make the woman take the oath of the curse, and say to the woman) [YHWH] make you a curse and an oath among your people, when [YHWH] makes your thigh fall away and your body swell. May this water that brings the curse pass into your bowels and make your womb swell and your thigh fall away.' And the woman shall say, 'Amen, Amen.' Then the priest shall write these curses in a book and wash them off into the water of bitterness. And he shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that brings the curse, and the water that brings the curse shall enter into her and cause bitter pain. And the priest shall take the grain offering of jealousy out of the woman's hand and shall wave the grain offering before [YHWH] and bring it to the altar. And the priest shall take a handful of the grain offering, as its memorial portion, and burn it on the altar, and afterward shall make the woman drink the water. And when he has made her drink the water, then, if she has defiled herself and has broken faith with her husband, the water that brings the curse shall enter into her and cause bitter pain, and her womb shall swell, and her thigh shall fall away, and the woman shall become a curse among her people. But if the woman has not defiled herself and is clean, then she shall be free and shall conceive children. This is the law in cases of jealousy, when a wife, though under her husband's authority, goes astray and defiles herself, or when the spirit of jealousy comes over a man and he is jealous of his wife. Then he shall set the woman before [YHWH], and the priest shall carry out for her all this law. The man shall be free from iniquity, but the woman shall bear her iniquity." (Num 5:11–31 emphasis added)

What if the wife was jealous? … She had to eat her own jealousy, and be content.

There is a cultural struggle going on between lawless Christendom and Islam over women’s rights, with the issue being contested being that of whether the wife and the daughter are the property of the husband and the father. If a man is not to covet his neighbor wife or his neighbor’s BMW or his neighbor’s Lear jet, the wife remains with no more personhood than the auto or plane. The man can buy her and sell her, as has been done in Arab Emirates. But the liberation that comes to women through Christ Jesus is the establishment of personhood as a son of God through receipt of a second breath of life, the breath of God [pneuma Theou] in the breath of Christ [pneuma Christou], with receipt of this second breath of life occurring within the geometry of penetration, of headship.

But the male human person has, with God, no priority over the female human person or over the outwardly enslaved person. In every case, before the spirit of man in the person that permits the person to know the things of a man is penetrated by the spirit of Christ, thereby producing the indwelling of Christ, the person is before God as the neighbor’s virgin daughter was to an ancient Israelite patriarch, with the neighbor being in this case the Adversary, from which comes the admonishment to love your enemies, this admonishment falling into the geometry of marriage, or penetration, of headship.

In ancient Israel, the father of his daughter held headship over his daughter as the Adversary (as Babylon’s gold head) holds headship over the sons of men, the descendants of the first man and first woman, both of whom ate forbidden fruit. And the father of his daughter could deny her hand in marriage, or give her hand in marriage, depending upon what was given as the bride price, expressed in Christian parlance as the redemption price of the person.

The bride price of the Elect was the blood of Christ Jesus at Calvary. The bride price for greater Christendom, however, will be the lives of all uncovered firstborns at the Second Passover liberation of Israel, with the shedding of blood given by God, Father and Son, forming the chiral image of the physical breaking of the hymen:

If any man takes a wife and goes in to her and then hates her and accuses her of misconduct and brings a bad name upon her, saying, “I took this woman, and when I came near her, I did not find in her evidence of virginity,” then the father of the young woman and her mother shall take and bring out the evidence of her virginity to the elders of the city in the gate. And the father of the young woman shall say to the elders, “I gave my daughter to this man to marry, and he hates her; and behold, he has accused her of misconduct, saying, ‘I did not find in your daughter evidence of virginity.’ And yet this is the evidence of my daughter's virginity.” And they shall spread the cloak before the elders of the city. Then the elders of that city shall take the man and whip him, and they shall fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give them to the father of the young woman, because he has brought a bad name upon a virgin of Israel. And she shall be his wife. He may not divorce her all his days. But if the thing is true, that evidence of virginity was not found in the young woman, then they shall bring out the young woman to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has done an outrageous thing in Israel by whoring in her father's house. So you shall purge the evil from your midst. (Deut 22:13–21)

And here is where the geometry of headship condemns greater Christendom: do Christian woman appear in public as chaste virgins? Do Christian men behave in public as chaste virgins? Or do both Christian men and women appear and behave as spiritual harlots, professing to worship God but living as people of the nations whose God is the Adversary, the prince of this world?

It isn’t necessary for Christian women to wear cape dresses and for Christian men to wear beards, but modest apparel isn’t appearing in public as a prostitute clad in undergarments, hair tousled as if just climbing out of bed. Modest behavior will not have the Christian man looking lustfully at the Christian woman who appears as a prostitute. It is the Adversary who is the father-of and who holds headship over both the woman, Christian or otherwise, who does not wear modest attire (and cover her head), and over the man, again Christian or otherwise, who behaves in inappropriate ways; i.e., not having discernable love for neighbor and brother.

The Adversary remains the father-of and holds headship over all who do not keep the Commandments by faith, by belief of God, the faith of Jesus. And the “body” of the Adversary—that which is analogous to the outer self of the person or the wife of her husband—consists of all over whom the Adversary asserts his headship. This body of Babylon will publicly appear as a prostitute; will appear as a young woman who, at her father’s behest, has committed fornication with the kings of this world.

Israel is to purge evil from its midst: the body of Babylon is to be slain at Christ’s return, with this last giving of a third part of humanity [a third of a third, or the death of about 750 million] mainly coming from the portion of greater Christendom that rebelled against God in the Affliction. These are those Christians who remain physically alive after committing blasphemy against the spirit. In the Affliction, they were of their father, the Adversary, the still reigning prince of this world. But in the Endurance, when ownership of the house was taken by God, Father and Son, they comprise the Adversary’s whore. They are not of one denomination or one creed. They are not solely Sunday-keepers. They are all whose head is the Adversary.

I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of the martyrs of Jesus—the saints, the holy ones, are those who keep the Commandments and have the faith/belief of Jesus …

In the head quote, we find,

Kings exercised headship over their subjects. As such, they are horns in the geometry of penetration. And kings of this earth—human kings—can only rule over human persons, not angels, loyal or demonic. It is human kings that have committed sexual immorality with Babylon, whose head isn’t the visible body of the Whore … the head of the Whore will also be the head of the seven kings, five of whom have fallen when John sees them in the Endurance portion of his vision. One is, and one is to come. And we find, “And on her forehead was written a name of mystery: ‘Babylon the great, mother of prostitutes and of earth's abominations’” (Rev 17:5 emphasis added).

The head of the Whore is Babylon, whose head is the spiritual king of Babylon (Isa 14:4) … in Greek mythology, Athena sprang from the forehead of Zeus: thoughts spring from foreheads. The personification of a thought in Greek mythology is another god, with Justin Martyr saying of Athena: They said that Athena was the daughter of Zeus not from intercourse, but when the god had in mind the making of the world through a thought (logos) his first thought was Athena.

The head of a human thought isn’t another thought, but is the spirit of man [to pneuma tou ’anthropou] that causes a human person to know the things that a human person knows, such as how to factor quadratic equations or how to flirt without seeming to do so. … Collectively, Christians haven’t given much consideration to the possibility of “thoughts” having a head. It is understood that thoughts produce fruit, with Microsoft and Apple and Google being examples of fruit born, just as much so as pineapple quince and Burbank Russet potato being the fruit of the thoughts of Luther Burbank. But thoughts come from somewhere, just as human persons come from somewhere. And because thoughts have origins, they will come from a “head,” which of course makes logical sense if head is used as an equivocation.

I have for a dozen years used the concept of thoughts growing as a weed or weeds from a mental landscape that is initially “owned” by the Adversary, then taken from the Adversary and given to the Son of Man. If now, applying the geometry of headship to ownership of mental topography, the Adversary as a spirit is the head of every thought sprouting from his garden, the parameters of which is the natural mindset of human persons. Religious idolatry as well a murder, theft, coveting—all have roots in the Adversary’s rebellion against God. All have the iniquity found in this anointed cherub (from Ezek 28:14–15) as their head.

Those angels that this guardian cherub dragged into rebellion with him (Rev 12:4; Dan 8:10) made his thoughts their thoughts; thus, the geometry of penetration accounts for how this anointed cherub perpetrated his rebellion against the Most High: he caused his thoughts to be the “head” of the thoughts of those angels that joined with him in rebellion. Hence, demons sprang from his forehead as Athena sprang from Zeus’ forehead, with Athena being fully armed and ready for war.

Now, when seen the great Whore is drunk on the blood of Commandment keepers, but a person doesn’t get literally “drunk” on blood. Drunk, now, carries a symbolic meaning, as in having killed so many “reason” is lost. Thinking is impaired. Modesty no longer exists. It doesn’t matter to Babylon that she is seen exposed in her excesses, and this is not a woman a person would want to marry; for she has dedicated her body to fornication with earthly kings. This is not a woman Christ Jesus would even consider marrying despite this Whore misappropriating the name Christian in a manner analogous to the Adversary, when cast from heaven, coming to earth claiming to be the Messiah.

When is Babylon seen? After dominion over the kingdom of this world is taken from the Adversary and his angels and given to the Son of Man—and when dominion is taken from the Adversary, Babylon falls to never be rebuilt. The King of Babylon is cast to earth. So judgment of this great whore in John’s vision takes place in the Endurance in Jesus, when the Son of Man has received all authority in the heavens and on earth.

Because of the referent “seven mountains,” both Arian and Sabbatarian Christendom have traditionally read “the beast” as the Roman Church, but in John’s vision from chapter four on, how a thing appears is how the thing functions in the revelation, with “self-translation” from appearance to function coming when too much ambiguity exists, such as in Revelation 5:6, where “seven eyes” are seven spirits that see those things that the Lamb needs to see, these seven spirits being the angels to the seven named churches. So too are seven mountains identified as seven kings … the four beasts with seven heads that Daniel saw in vision (chap 7) are the four kings that emerge from the stump of the first king of the King of Greece. On the fourth beast, ten horns appear [the dating of this vision is in the Affliction, the first 1260 days of the seven endtime years], with all ten in place when this fourth king appears. Then a little horn, unlike the ten, appears and uproots three of the ten, leaving seven horns that are also seven kings.

A horn functions as a penis functions to establish headship. Identification of kings as horns comes from kings being the “head” of an administrative unit, as in the head of a people analogous to a husband being the head of his wife or the inner self of a person being the head of the outer self of the same person; so the little horn on the head of the fourth beast (Dan 7:8), on the head of the King of the North (the only direction not east, south, or west, toward the glorious land — Dan 8:9), is the “head” of a head as God is the Head of Christ and Christ is the Head of the Church (1 Cor 11:3): the spirit of God [pneuma Theou] penetrated or entered into Jesus (Mark 1:10) when Jesus rose from baptism. The spirit or breath of Jesus then entered into ten of His first disciples when He breathed upon them and said, Receive spirit holy (John 20:22), again, the geometry of penetration and headship.

Ancient rock art shows male figures with over-emphasized penis that truly appear as a single horn. It would seem that “penetration” to establish dominance was then more prominently displayed than now in this endtime era where phallic symbols still abound but do so without being recognized as such, except by Feminist scholars who find an archer’s arrow to be a phallic symbol.

In this endtime era with its emphasis on appearances, the body—the flesh represented by the woman—has not only obtained liberation from dominance-by the inner self, but has obtained equality with the inner self to the degree that the flesh has pseudo- dominance over the inner self as seen in advertisements for the feminization of men, the making of the metro-male who poses no threat to women, and who even shares bathroom time and skin care with the woman. In the geometry of headship, this feminization of the male is seen spiritually in the Roman Church admitting that it, not Christ, changed the day of Christian worship from the Sabbath to Sunday.

For behold, the Lord [YHWH] of hosts is taking away from Jerusalem and from Judah support and supply, all support of bread, and all support of water; the mighty man and the soldier, the judge and the prophet, the diviner and the elder, the captain of fifty and the man of rank, the counselor and the skillful magician and the expert in charms. And I will make boys their princes, and infants shall rule over them. And the people will oppress one another, every one his fellow and every one his neighbor; the youth will be insolent to the elder, and the despised to the honorable. …

Tell the righteous that it shall be well with them, for they shall eat the fruit of their deeds. Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him, for what his hands have dealt out shall be done to him. My people—infants are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, your guides mislead you and they have swallowed up the course of your paths. (Isa 3:1–5; 10–12 emphasis added)

Spiritual infants rule over greater Christendom and are the oppressors of all who would be godly and righteous … the appetites of the flesh—the appetites of the belly and loins rule not only Christians but the remainder of humanity. Even the righteous succumb to the flesh, as Paul wrote of himself (Rom chap 7).

When the flesh—the woman—rules, Israel is far from God. Consider the following, placing a community organizer as “his brother”:

For a man will take hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying: "You have a cloak; you shall be our leader, and this heap of ruins shall be under your rule"; in that day he will speak out, saying: "I will not be a healer; in my house there is neither bread nor cloak; you shall not make me leader of the people." For Jerusalem has stumbled, and Judah has fallen, because their speech and their deeds are against [YHWH], defying his glorious presence. For the look on their faces bears witness against them; they proclaim their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! For they have brought evil on themselves. (Isa 3:6–9)

America is not a Christian nation [the citation is missing the word “just”]—then Senate candidate Barack Obama said on June 28, 2006: Whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation – at least, not just. We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, and a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.

In the prepared text for this speech (what he was to read and what was released to the press), the following appears: Given the increasing diversity of America's population, the dangers of sectarianism have never been greater. Whatever we once were, we are no longer just a Christian nation; we are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.

Now President, Barack Obama, a constitutional scholar, would have been familiar with Article 11 of The Treaty of Peace and Friendship between the United States of America and the Bey and Subjects of Tripoli of Barbary (Ottoman Empire), 1797:

Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion,—as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen [Muslims],—and as the said States never entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mahometan [Muslim] nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries. …

Article 11 as appearing above is in the translation of the treaty ratified by the Senate and signed by the President, but it is not in the Arabic version of the treaty. Nothing of the sort appears between Articles Ten and Twelve in the Arabic text.

Nevertheless, since the nation’s founding, American has not been a Christian nation, but a nation holding no more affiliation to Christ Jesus than to any other deity the people desire to worship or not to worship. So to make the claim that America has left God is to claim a lie: America denied God when it established the separation of state from church. However, the faces of Americans bear witness against the nation; for the faces of Americans proclaim their sin that is like the transgressions of Sodom. The faces of Americans bear witness to the evil being brought upon the nation. The faces of Americans—with few exceptions—appear as the faces of women.

The United States of America is not and never was a Christian nation; yet the shaven faces of American servicemen is the image most Muslims have of Christians. So we can deny America’s Christian ancestry; we can point to the First Amendment of the Constitution; we can say what we want, but the headstones for American servicemen killed in foreign wars are marked with either a cross or a star of David. Even the graves of unbelievers are denoted with a cross, the default symbol disclosing the Christian ancestry of the nation.

Because America is not a Christian nation—is not Israel, descended from the northern kingdom of Samaria that was taken into exile by Assyria (ca 721 BCE)—America is not mentioned in biblical prophecy. Christianity is, though. Endtime prophecies about the people of Israel and the nation of Israel pertain primarily to greater Christendom. So hurricane Katrina didn’t strike New Orleans because of the people’s lawlessness and lewdness during Mardi Gras. The heavy snowfalls and cold weather afflicting America’s eastern regions this year are not of God per se; nor do they come from global warming [climate change]. They are merely part of a weather cycle that can be reasonably calculated by mathematical formulas derived from observation, with the Old Farmer’s Almanac holding priority rights to these formulas.

The head of Americans—again, with very few exceptions—is the Adversary and it is the Adversary who fertilizes developing thoughts in sons of disobedience. It is the Adversary as a spirit that is the head of the thoughts of his serfs.

To prevent this chapter from being overly long and unwieldy, I will end it here and put up the subject in Section #5 of Chapter 9A
