Occult Secrets of the Book of Revelation

[EndtheMadnessNow]

The Book of Revelation in the New Testament has the title, the "Apocalypse of John." Apocalypse has come to be used popularly as a synonym for catastrophe, but the word means revelation. That which is uncovered. It comes from the Greek word which literally means to pull the lid off something. Why did Albert Pike refer to Saint John the Baptist as the favorite apostle? What is the esoteric significance of the Book of Revelation? The Holy of Holies is a Biblical term referring to the inner sanctuary of the Tabernacle where God's presence appeared and where the Ark of the Covenant was held. In this video, he explains its esoteric significance. Short vid (17 min) but info packed.

An interesting video, but as with most all of this gent's videos, he tries to build a shaky edifice upon an unsound foundation.

In the case of this video, he sets the foundation at the beginning by viewing Revelations through not it's original lens, but the modernistic lens of Millenialism. Millenialism is an invention of the early 19th century, men, mere humans, barely 200 years old now as opposed to the 2000 year history of Christianity, or the 6000 year history of it's predecessors. Any edifice built on the foundation of Millenialism is necessarily suspect and shaky, since the faulty foundation is built on the inventions of man rather than the pronouncements of God.

He has similar problems with his other videos, where he reaches reasonable-appearing conclusions in the larger picture, but built on a faulty structure arising from a defective foundation. For example, he correctly surmises that mankind did not originate in Africa, but his timelines in those videos are all wrong, and on top of that he places inordinate stress on "Cro Magnon man" as a species of human when it is not - Cro Magnons were simply a subspecies, a western European race or variant, of human. Saying "Cro Magnon" can be equated in the modern day with saying "Frenchman", "German", or "Scandinavian". While all Frenchmen are humans, not all humans are Frenchmen. To attempt to build a case for all human civilization to have sprung from Cro Magnons is as ludicrous as trying to make the case for all human civilization having sprung from Frenchmen.

In other videos, he attempts to bring "Aryans" forth from the loins of Cro Magnons - to preserve the continuity of his narrative, I suppose - which is not nor was not the case. Aryans did not arise in Western Europe, which was the sole provenance of Cro Magnons. Aryans arose in the steppes around and between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, and migrated to Iran and northern India.

In yet other videos, he attempts to predicate civilization on agriculture, which may not be far from the mark, but then destroys his own construct by claiming that agriculture originated among Cro Magnons 40,000 years ago, which it did not. The earliest attempt at agriculture ever discovered was in the Southern Anatolia/ northern Levant area about 21,000 years ago, and failed dismally. Western Europe was still populated by hunter-gatherers, and remained so for the next 15,000 years or so. Agriculture in the area where it failed would not take hold for about the same length of time in it's home area. Other centers of agricultural invention were East Asia and eastern North America, among other places - there are, at last count, 7 areas of the world where agriculture developed independently of the other areas.

So, I'm not sure how much credence to place in his analysis given the shaky foundations it is erected over. His basic understanding of history is pretty faulty for an anthropologist. He may have a fair grasp of current anthropology, but paleoanthropology is definitely not his forte.

So we watched this late last night (maybe really early this morning, who knows?) but we watched it on Kdog's laptop as I'd already put mine to sleep so sorry so late with the comment. 

Entertaining for certain but that little guitar tune sounded so familiar to us and it was driving us crazy not being able to remember what it was. Can anybody identify the tune? To me it sounded like maybe a John Prine song but I'm probably wrong since that guy didn't look old enough to be a Prine fan. Anybody?
