The Stewart family claims to be of the Merovingian bloodline of the lineage of Jesus Christ. Books on the Holy Grail blasphemously say that Jesus married Mary Magdalene and fathered children. Hence, the Stewart family claims to be the rightful heirs of the throne of David and plans to introduce one of their descendants as the benign dictator of the New World Order. Fritz Springmeier, who has researched the Illuminati bloodlines, states that the Stewarts are the 13th Illuminati family from which the Antichrist will come. His expose on this most important Illuminati bloodline will be forthcoming.

The Stewart Clan Internet Page is very interesting and occultic, containing much emphasis on the genealogy of this family. You will note the Stewart Crest of the Phoenix which is the occult symbol of resurrection. The web site also features the "Christian" version of Dungeons and Dragons titled "Dragon Raid." There is also a page on the Stone of Destiny which has recently been moved from England to Scotland. According to the Stewart interpretation of Bible prophecy, which is summarized on their web page, this Stone (formerly Jacob's Pillar) upon which kings of Scotland and England were traditionally crowned, will be used in the coronation of Christ as King of Israel --

Stone of Destiny... Now Back in Scotland!

http://associate.com/Stewart/stone_o_scone.html

"This Stone is believed to be the original Pillar that Jacob dedicated to God after his all-night wrestling vigil with an angel. From all references, this stone represents the House of David that went into oblivion after the wicked king Zedekiah was dethroned by our Father and later blinded then killed along with his sons. Jacob's Pillar (The Stone of Destiny) was believed to have been subsequently carried by Jeremiah -- along with Zedekiah's two daughters -- to Ireland. Later, it went to Scotland, then England. Most scholars, along with this writer, see these three moves associated with Ezekiel 21:27: "27 I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him.

"...It will not be used ever again in the crowning of an earthly king because it has been announced that it will go on permanent display in Edinburg, Scotland. Therefore, this move obviously ended the Stone's role in the crowning of kings, ending with King George VI in 1936 ... the last king crowned over the Stone. That being the case, Messiah, according to Ezekiel, will be the next King over the House of David...so, the third 'overturn' is yet in effect. In light of these facts, as stated last month, this move (after some 700 years) would seem to be significant as to just how close the Lord's return could be. In other words, from Zedekiah forward, Israel, as a nation, would have no king until Messiah comes (Gen. 49:10)...and true to prophecy, that has been the case. This means that the scattered and divided kingdom of Israel must be restored and Christ installed as her King...'the most holy', (Dan. 9:24)."

Although there is disagreement as to which stone is the true Stone of Destiny, and whether it was Jacob's pillar or pillow, the preceding fable is nearly identical to the account which is found in BLOODLINE OF THE HOLY GRAIL by Laurence Gardiner. Gardiner's book and a similar book, HOLY BLOOD, HOLY GRAIL, are obviously publications produced by the Rosicrucian Priory of Sion, the founders of the Knights Templar and Order of Freemasons. Through these and other books, this secret order is attempting to document the Merovingian bloodline as the lineage of Jesus Christ and to establish the legitimacy of one of their descendants as the Messiah or Christ.

DISCUSSION OF KNIGHTHOOD AS A SOCIAL ORDER DEVICE

Raising a Modern-Day Knight : A Father's Role in Guiding His Son to Authentic Manhood by Robert Lewis

John Coale (jcoale@erols.com) , 07/13/97, rating=10: Fathers - Join the Knights of the Round Table

Out of the Dark Ages rose noble characters to preserve and maintain law, justice, and social order. They became gentle men, men of valor, principled men-Knights. All knights swore an oath to and lived by a code of conduct: loyalty, chivalry, honesty, generosity, unselfish service, dedicated to justice, with Biblical principles of absolute right and wrong, and obedience to God. A knight who broke his oath was charged with treason for betraying the order of knighthood.

These ideals combined with the well-defined mentoring process made a boy into a knight. By age eight, a boy left his mother's care and became a page, learning the rudiments of knighthood under a mentor. By age 14, he became a squire, a knight's servant, while perfecting his skills through discipline and hard work. When he turned 21, he was eligible for knighthood. His ceremony was memorable--a ritual cleansing, ceremonial dress, a day of fasting and a night of prayer, confession, communion, a review of his moral, religious, social, and military duties, and, finally, a question. For what purpose do you desire to enter the order? If it be riches, to take your ease, and be held in honor without doing honor to knighthood, you are unworthy of it.

Now image your son going through this knightly process to attain Biblical manhood. Yes, it can be done. For fathers, Robert Lewis outlines a practical guide to teach and live these ideals, mentoring your son in the process to become a knight. What is a Man? What are his responsibilities, his beliefs, his behavior, and his goals? When does a boy become a man in our society? When he gets his driver's license, joins the Army, takes a woman to bed, or financially provides for himself? First, Raising a Modern-Day Knight provides a vision for manhood. It characterizes a man who rejects passivity, accepts responsibility, leads courageously, and expects the greater reward-God's reward. Second, it defines a Biblical code of conduct: loyalty (Hos 6:6), servant-leadership (Mat 20:26-27), kindness (Pro 19:22), humility (Phil 2:3), purity (1 Tim 4:12), honesty (Eph 4:25), self-discipline (1 Tim 4:7-8), excellence (1 Cor 9:24), integrity (Pro 10:9), and perseverance (Gal 6:9). Finally, it establishes a superior cause to work towards which can only be satisfied in Jesus Christ.

By celebrating the stages of training with ceremony, a father reinforces the process. Through godly example, teachable moments, inspiring stories, and positive affirmations, a father helps his young knight discover a will to obey God, to employ God's gifts, and to respect women. Are you ready to be a knightly example for your son? Work for the King and become His knight. Pass it on to your son. A righteous man who walks in integrity-how blessed are his sons after him. (Pro 20:7)

Highly Recommended for small groups of men to create a round table of their own.

BLOODLINE OF THE HOLY GRAIL

By Laurence Gardiner

The Stone Of Destiny

"Not only were the Grail Knights and Templars appointed Guardians of the Stewart Sangreal [Holy Grail] in Scotland, they also became protectors of the Stone of Destiny (the Stone of Scone). This most sacred of Scots treasures had been brought to Scotland from Ireland by Fergus Mor mac Erc, the first King of Dalriada, in the 5th century, having originally been carried to Ireland from Judah in about 586 BC. The venerated holy relic was said to be the Stone of the Covenant, known as 'Jacob's Pillow' (Genesis 28:18-22), on which Jacob laid his head and saw the ladder reaching up to Heaven at Beth-el. In a dream God promised Jacob that his seed would generate the line of kingship to follow -- the line which in due course became the Davidic succession.

"When the Jews were persecuted by Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, Mattaniah, the son of King Josiah (and a direct descendant of David), was installed in Judah. Known as King Zedekiah, he acceded to the throne of Jerusalem in 598 BC. Twelve years later Jerusalem fell to Nebuchadnezzar, whereupon Zedekiah was taken to Babylon and blinded (Jer. 39:6-7, 52:10-11). His sons were murdered, but his daughter Tamar was removed to Ireland (via Egypt and Spain) by the prophet Jeremiah. He also brought the anointed Stone of the Covenant, which became known as Lia Fail (Stone of Destiny). In Latin it was the Saxum Fatale.

"Princess Tamar (Teamhair) gave her name to Tara, the seat of the High Kings of Ireland, and she married Ard Ri (High King) Eochaid, ancestor of Ugaine Mar (Ugaine the Great). Subsequently, over a millenium, Eochaid's successors were crowned in the presence of the sacred Stone. The Irish heritage then progressed to Scotland, where the relic of Judah became synonymous with the Kings of Dalriada. King Kenneth ( MacAlpin (844-859) later moved the Stone to Scone Abbey when he united the Scots and the Picts. By the time of William the Lion (d. 1214), the Stone of Destiny bore witness to nearly a hundred coronations in sovereign descent from King Zedekiah.

"On declaring himself Overlord of Scotland in 1296, Edward I of England stole what he thought was the Stone of Destiny. What he actually got was a piece of sandstone from a monastery doorway, which has since rested beneath the Coronation Throne at Westminster Abbey. This piece of rubble is 26 inches long by 11 inches deep (c. 66x 28 cm) and weighs about 335 lbs (c. 152 kg). Royal seals of the early Scots kings depict a much larger installation rock, but this rock was not the sacred Stone of Destiny -- no more than is the medieval masonry prize of King Edward.

The real Stone of Destiny is said to be smaller, more naturally rounded, and is of inscribed black basalt, not of hand-cut sandstone. It was hidden by the Cistercian Abbot of Scone in 1296, and it has remained hidden ever since. The Columbian tradition tells us that, on secreting the Stone, the Abbot prophesied that one day 'The Michael' would return to his inheritance. It is of importance to note that the X sign, which became so hated by the Roman Church, was identified with the archangel Michael (Melchizedek) onwards from Old Testament times. The heritage of St Michael was the dynasty of high Zadok priests -- a heritage that prevailed in the continuing Messianic line." (BLOODLINE OF THE HOLY GRAIL, Gardiner, Element Books Ltd., 1996, pp. 297-299)

Among the Grail romances, the most famous is "Parzival" composed by Wolfram von Eschenbach. In this mystical poem, the Grail is identified as a Stone upon which appear inscribed the names of the heirs of the throne of Jesus, typified by the phoenix, which will rise again and restore the inheritance of the Merovingian bloodline:

"You say you yearn for the Grail. You foolish man, I am grieved to hear that. For no man can ever win the Grail unless he is known in heaven and called by name to the Grail. This I must tell you about the Grail, for I know it to be so and have seen it for myself...By the power of that Stone the phoenix burns to ashes, but the ashes give him life again. Thus does the phoenix moult and change its plumage, which afterward is bright and shining and as lovely as before...Such power does the Stone give a man that flesh and bones are at once made young again. The Stone is also called the Grail. This very day there comes to it a message wherein lies its greatest power. Today is Good Friday, and they await there a Dove, winging down from heaven. It brings a small white wafer, and leaves it upon the Stone... Hear now how those who are called to the Grail are made known. On the Stone, round the edge, appear letters inscribed, giving the name and the lineage of each one, maid or boy, who is to make the blessed journey. No one needs to rub out the inscription, for once he has read the name, it fades before his eyes." (HOLY BLOOD, HOLY GRAIL, p. 297, SPEAR OF DESTINY, Trevor Ranvenscroft, pp. 191-2)

Holy Grail was a humble clay cup, says Bible scholar
ENI-98-0211

By Ross Dunn

Jerusalem, 6 May (ENI)--The Holy Grail, the legendary communal wine cup used by Jesus at the last supper, was almost certainly not an ornate metal chalice, as described in medieval epics.

According to Stephen Pfann, director of the Centre for the Study of Early Christianity, in Jerusalem, the drinking vessel used at the Last Supper was probably a humble clay cup.

Pfann, an American Bible scholar, has reached this conclusion after studying pottery items used in ritual dinners by the Jewish sect at Qumran who produced the Dead Sea scrolls.

"They [the pottery items] are contemporary with those used probably by Jesus and his disciples, the closest thing that we have to it," he told ENI.

Pfann said the type of pottery found in two different pantries in Qumran was "thin-sided" and often referred to as "metallic ware ... It isn t metal but when you click it with your finger it gives a ring".

His research suggests that when the hero of the US film, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, was forced to choose, at the risk of his life, from rows of goblets, he made an historically accurate choice by selecting a plain vessel and declaring: "That is the cup of a carpenter."

Pfann said that while popular historic images of the Holy Grail depicted it as an ornate metal vessel, stone chalice or a goblet, there was little evidence of wine cups being made out of such material during the period of Jesus.

Jerome Murphy-O Connor, a priest and prominent scholar at the Ecole Biblique [Bible School], a Catholic institute in Jerusalem, agreed that the famed cup was probably not made of metal.

"The stuff at Qumran is probably the stuff that Jesus would have used," he said. "I would think that since they were poor people it would be what the poor had used, namely not a metal cup but a clay cup."

But Joe Zias, a former curator of the Israeli Antiquities Authority, disagreed. Grand tableware would have been used at a ceremonial Jewish Passover Seder (ritual) like the Last Supper, he said. A "pedestrian" clay cup would have been inappropriate for the occasion.

There are in fact several versions of the Grail legend. While the modern meaning of the term "Holy Grail" is associated with the communal cup said to have been used by Jesus at the Last Supper, the words originally referred to an object similar to a plate. "A plate which, according to medieval tradition, Joseph of Arimathaea used to capture blood from Jesus side as he hung upon the cross," Pfann said.

"He took it with him to Europe and the object was said to have had special healing powers. In the course of time, the term the 'Holy Grail' became associated with the cup at the Last Supper and the tradition of King Arthur s court. Why, we don t fully know."

According to one medieval text, Joseph of Arimathaea brought the Grail to England and built the country's first church at Glastonbury.

In medieval poetry, the quest for the Grail became a search for mystical union with God. Sir Galahad, one of the knights of King Arthur's court, was said to be the only person able to gaze directly into the Grail and behold divine mysteries too great for any human tongue to tell.

Disasters that befell medieval knights were associated with the disappearance of the Grail, symbol of grace. [582 words]

It is interesting that BLOODLINE OF THE HOLY GRAIL mentions the someone of lineage of Michael the Archangel who will one day inherit the throne as "The Michael." The forward to this book is written by Prince Michael Stewart of Albany who, the authors contend may be the legitimate heir to the throne of England (the Stewarts claim to be related to the British Stuarts) and heir to the throne of David through the purported Merovingian lineage of Jesus Christ. Prince Michael of Albany may also be "The Michael" who was prophesied by the Abbot of Scone to receive his inheritance, supposedly being in the lineage of Melchizedek and the Zadok priests, and Michael the Archangel himself!

The STEWART CLAN INTERNET page on the "Stone of Destiny" includes this very interesting interpretation of Ezekiel 37:22

"And I will make them *one nation* (one stick, one people) in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king (Christ) shall be king to them *all* (Shiloh; Whose right the Stone of Destiny represents): and they shall be no more two nations (two sticks), neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:" Can Christ be a King over anything except people? These two sticks being joined are specifically used to remind the descendants of Israel, even today, that they will yet be reunited into one nation -- a single people -- in the original land given to Abraham!

"So, this movement of the Stone of Destiny could very well be the beginning of a chain of events to shape the world -- and prepare His remnant today -- for the things about to come to pass; the false Messiah shall come first and try to fake uniting the people (Daniel 9:27) under the promised covenant of peace, but he will fail. He will pass himself off as Israel's Messiah, and Christianity's Christ."

- end quote -

In Daniel 12:1, Michael is called "the great prince" --

"And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book."

Will Prince Michael Stewart of Albany come forward (stand up) as the lineal descendant of Jesus Christ and the apotheosis of Michael the Archangel who defeats "Christianity's Christ" who will "fake uniting the people... under the promised covenant of peace"?  In BLOODLINE OF THE HOLY GRAIL, is found in the centerfold a picture of the Phoenix with this caption: "The day of fulfillment when the DRAGON is slain and the PHOENIX shall rise." [Caps mine]

According to HOLY BLOOD, HOLY GRAIL, early Christian sects such as the Waldensians, Albigenses and Cathars were occult groups similar to the Priory of Sion and for this reason suffered the persecutions of the Catholic Church. The authors identify the Christian Church as the Catholic Church, which the Priory despises and has determined to destroy in revenge for the martyrdom of Jacques de Molay, the last Grand Master of the Priory.

In BLOODLINE OF THE HOLY GRAIL, the authors stated:

"Fragments of the Prince Melchizedek Document found among the Dead Sea Scrolls indicate that Melchizedek and Michael were one and the same. It is this representation which features in the Revelation when the Archangel Michael (the descending Zadokite power of the Messiah) fights with the ROMAN DRAGON of oppression." [Caps mine] (p. 177)

The caption under the Stewart Crest of the Phoenix on the Scottish Stewart Clan Home page reads: "Courage gains strength from a wound." Is the Rosicrucian Priory of Sion "the beast which had the wound by a sword, and did live"? (see Rev. 13:3, 12, 14) This also explains Rev. 17:16: "And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire." Revelation 18 proceeds to describe the destruction of Mystery Babylon which Rev. 17:9 reveals as "sitting on seven mountains" or Rome.

Fritz Springmeier states in his book, TOP 13 ILLUMINATI BLOODLINES: "The 13th bloodline lacks nothing to bring forth their Anti-Christ who will appear to have all the correct credentials. I would not even be surprised if their Anti-Christ, in order to appear real, will expose another Anti-Christ." (p. 229)

We must not underestimate the importance of the Priory of Sion, the elite order of Rosicrucians who now claim to be the authors of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Authors of HOLY BLOOD, HOLY GRAIL state that the Protocols "in their present form" are a radically altered form of the original, which was authored by the Order of the Rose Croix and not intended as anti-Semitic propaganda. Rather than the revised document which Hitler used to vilify the Jews, the Priory would now have the world believe that it was originally a humanitarian proposal to reorder society under a benign priest-king of the lineage of Jesus Christ.

Finally the authors of the New Age Grail books thoroughly discredit the Christian New Testament and argue that the Gnostic Nag Hammadi Scrolls predated it and are therefore more authentic. Upon reading the Grail books, one discovers the massive indoctrination in occult lore which is taking place on a worldwide scale. The Scottish Stewart Clan Home Page and the Toronto/Pensacola Revival are now introducing their mythology into the church.

1. PRINCE MICHAEL STEWART OF ALBANY - Head of the European Council of Princes. http://www.entropic-art.com/stewart.html

"In June 1992, HRH Prince Michael James Alexander Stewart, 7th Count of Albany (Scotland) was elected President of the European Council of Princes -- a constitutional advisory body within the European Union. In this regard, he succeeded the Imperial and Royal House of Habsburg Austria, who had retained the office from 1946. The new appointment held significant political implications for Scotland because, in unanimously electing Michael of Albany, some 32 sovereign houses openly proclaimed the continuing de jure Scots monarchy to an international audience – a royal dynasty which, according to British academic historians, had long been extinct."

2. JACQUES STEWART is President of the European Ecumenical Commission on Church and Society (EECCS) - which has offices in Strasbourg and in Brussels, where the main EU headquarters are located.

TORONTO / PENSACOLA -- STEWART CLAN CONNECTION

It is very significant that the Scottish Stewart Clan Internet Home is promoting the Toronto Blessing/Pensacola Outpouring and I believe reveals the source of this occult revival. The two revivals are really linked although they claim to be separate revivals. Articles on the Revival are listed below, some of which show the connections between Toronto and Pensacola. Also links between the two revivals are documented on various Revival web sites, such as

Further evidence of the Scottish Stewart (Rosicrucian) connection to this revival is a recent post from Richard Riss concerning a Changing of the Guard with a ceremonial exchange of Celtic swords among revival leaders at a "Knights of the Roundtable" gathering in Seattle WA. This message is reprinted below. The legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Roundtable figured strongly in the Merovingian bloodline as Guardians of the Holy Grail.

A larger discussion of this phenomenon follows:

CALL TO RENEWAL-- AN EXTENTION OF THE ROUND TABLE

EVALGELICALS AND GLOBALISTS TOGETHER

Knights of the Round Table

Although Christians would prefer to believe that the occult legend of the Merovingian bloodline is confined to the network of New Age, Rosicrucian and Druid cults, it is difficult to avoid the suspicion that this megalomaniacal vision has infiltrated the Church via change agents who are surreptitiously promoting their Celtic traditions under the banners of "righteousness," "morality," "integrity," "honor," "chivalry," ad infinitum.

The fame of King Arthur, leader of the Britons circa 500 A.D., derives from his election as guardian of the Holy Grail, supposedly the cup used by Jesus and His disciples at the Last Supper. Those who have read the tales of the Arthurian period of English history (eg. Camelot) will recall the degeneracy of King Arthur's Court rather than its virtue. Notwithstanding the moral condition of Arthur's Knights of the Roundtable, there is on the Internet the home page of a private school that is selling a "King Arthur and His Knights" interactive CD-Rom to parents who homeschool children. This CD is even designated the "Winner of a 1996 Parents' Choice Honor." http://www.calvertschool.org/king0.htm

"Calvert School's Home Instruction Department is proud to offer its first interactive CD-ROM, King Arthur Through the Ages. The program, appropriate for students from fifth grade through adult, allows one to read a story about the Round Table, hear an excerpt from Geoffrey's [of Monmouth] account, or see the coat of arms of an Arthurian knight from an unpublished 16th century manuscript. This compendium of literature, art, history and legend may serve as a perfect introduction to the Arthurian legend or a gateway into the vast body of Arthurian lore beyond Calvert's fifth grade text King Arthur and His Knights. The fee for King Arthur is $40.00."

A New Age book titled "THE GRAIL CASTLE: MYTHS AND MYSTERIES IN THE CELTIC TRADITION by Kenneth Johnson and Marguerite Elsbeth advocates the myth of the Grail legend as applicable to the "universal male quest" for genuine masculine empowerment, also called the "quest for the Grail Castle." [It is noteworthy that numerous Stewarts are affiliated with Calvary Chapel whose European Conference Center is a castle in the Austrian Alps. See Part I under list of Prominent Stewarts.] THE GRAIL CASTLE further advises that, in keeping with Arthurian tradition, the training of a young boy as a warrior requires that he be mentored by a man other than his own father.

"Few Celtic myths describe for us a deep relationship between father and son. In many cases, the father is entirely absent, a dim figure who never appears on the stage...King Arthur's father Uther Pendragon actually gave his son up to be raised in the woods, then proceeded to die during the boy's absence...A mentor is not the same as a father. Our fathers are too close to us to play the role of mentor or initiator...The father figure and more specifically his professional interest, is often rejected in favor of something different, new and more exciting...If Dad is vice president of the local bank the Warrior child may rove the world as a hired mercenary. Therefore, in traditional societies, the mentor role is often played by a male relative." (pp. 22,23, 26, 27)

Last year, Focus on the Family published a book by Robert Lewis titled RAISING A MODERN-DAY KNIGHT. Promotional material for this publication also appeals to the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table to recommend that Christian fathers return to the wisdom of medieval paganism for the training of their sons. In a section titled "The Knight and His Round Table," Lewis states:

"In the Middle Ages, pages and squires became knights because they were part of a masculine community. At an early age, the page left home and entered into a mentoring relationship with an older man, usually a cousin or an uncle...Boys become men in the community of men. There is no substitute for this vital component. Dad, if your boy is to become a man, you must enlist the community...the community of men expands a son's spiritual and moral resources... Bonded through the mystical power of ceremony, [they] become mentors to these young men...If you are serious about moving your son to manhood, begin asking the Lord to lead you to a small community of men..." (pp. 150-51)

What community of men that is based on the order of knighthood would provide a bonding experience through the mystical power of ceremony? The Secret Societies of the Illuminati network offer many such opportunities through the orders of Freemasonry, Skull & Bones, the Grand Orient Lodge, the Grand Alpina Lodge, the Knights Templar, Knights of Malta and the Royal Order of the Garter. Like these orders, RAISING A MODERN-DAY KNIGHT attempts to inculcate Christians with the notion that the knights of medieval Europe were honorable men. Robin Kalhorn, who posted for researchers the following promotional material on the book, comments:

Here is the Promise Keepers idea of raising boys to become "knights" of the apostasy. Note one reviewer's sappy, grade school fantasy of the Middle Ages as a time of truth, justice, and honor. Observe his breezy transition from pagan feudalism (Romano-German in origin, collectivist, oath-based, and despotic) to "Biblical principles of absolute right and wrong."

Raising a Modern-Day Knight :

A Father's Role in Guiding His Son to Authentic Manhood by Robert Lewis

John Coale (jcoale@erols.com) , 07/13/97, rating=10: Fathers - Join the Knights of the Round Table

Out of the Dark Ages rose noble characters to preserve and maintain law, justice, and social order. They became gentle men, men of valor, principled men-Knights. All knights swore an oath to and lived by a code of conduct: loyalty, chivalry, honesty, generosity, unselfish service, dedicated to justice, with Biblical principles of absolute right and wrong, and obedience to God. A knight who broke his oath was charged with treason for betraying the order of knighthood.

These ideals combined with the well-defined mentoring process made a boy into a knight. By age eight, a boy left his mother's care and became a page, learning the rudiments of knighthood under a mentor. By age 14, he became a squire, a knight's servant, while perfecting his skills through discipline and hard work. When he turned 21, he was eligible for knighthood. His ceremony was memorable--a ritual cleansing, ceremonial dress, a day of fasting and a night of prayer, confession, communion, a review of his moral, religious, social, and military duties, and, finally, a question. For what purpose do you desire to enter the order? If it be riches, to take your ease, and be held in honor without doing honor to knighthood, you are unworthy of it.

Now image your son going through this knightly process to attain Biblical manhood. Yes, it can be done. For fathers, Robert Lewis outlines a practical guide to teach and live these ideals, mentoring your son in the process to become a knight. What is a Man? What are his responsibilities, his beliefs, his behavior, and his goals? When does a boy become a man in our society? When he gets his driver's license, joins the Army, takes a woman to bed, or financially provides for himself? First, Raising a Modern-Day Knight provides a vision for manhood. It characterizes a man who rejects passivity, accepts responsibility, leads courageously, and expects the greater reward-God's reward. Second, it defines a Biblical code of conduct: loyalty (Hos 6:6), servant-leadership (Mat 20:26-27), kindness (Pro 19:22), humility (Phil 2:3), purity (1 Tim 4:12), honesty (Eph 4:25), self-discipline (1 Tim 4:7-8), excellence (1 Cor 9:24), integrity (Pro 10:9), and perseverance (Gal 6:9). Finally, it establishes a superior cause to work towards which can only be satisfied in Jesus Christ.

By celebrating the stages of training with ceremony, a father reinforces the process. Through godly example, teachable moments, inspiring stories, and positive affirmations, a father helps his young knight discover a will to obey God, to employ God's gifts, and to respect women. Are you ready to be a knightly example for your son? Work for the King and become His knight. Pass it on to your son. A righteous man who walks in integrity-how blessed are his sons after him. (Pro 20:7)

Highly Recommended for small groups of men to create a round table of their own.

According to a New Age book titled MESSIAH AND THE SECOND COMING by John Davis and Naomi Rice, the concept of the round table of King Arthur and his knights was based on the Last Supper:

"King Arthur founded the Round Table, which legend dramatically declared was symbolically the same table present at the Last Supper. A high spiritual power wrote the name of the knight who should sit in each chair. Each knight must pass certain tests of valor before he could occupy a chair at the table. Spiritually every aspirant to the holy life is tested before being permitted to enter into the activities of the special inner circle. The chair remains vacant until the perfect knight appears, portrayed by Sir Galahad who said, "It is here that I must renounce all things in order that I may gain all." The true test of one questing for Christed Consciousness." (p. 99)

Round Table conferences are common throughout the globalist network and are also becoming popular among the ecumenically-minded denominations and ministries of the apostate Church. The Call To Renewal is a coalition of various Christian and Catholic denominations and ministries calling themselves "Christians for a New Political Vision." http://www.ari.net/calltorenewal/ctr0403.html

In April of 1997, The Call to Renewal sponsored a "Christian Roundtable on Poverty and Welfare Reform" in which religious leaders discussed the role of church and state in overcoming poverty: http://www.ari.net/calltorenewal/ctr0402.html

"On Saturday, April 26, Call to Renewal will convene a roundtable initiating dialogue among a broad cross-section of Christian leaders about the crisis now facing America's poor, and what the Church will do about it. 'The Church Steps Forward: A Christian Roundtable on Poverty and Welfare Reform' will take place in Philadelphia in conjunction with the Presidents' Summit for America's Future."

Following this conference, the Call to Renewal went to work creating an ecumenical network of regional roundtables across the U.S.

"We will create a new federated network that will include covenanted, affiliated organizations, local "tables," congregations, and individuals...As convener Jim Wallis and field organizer Rev. Emory Searcy Jr. travel around the country, these new tables are already forming. New alliances are being built between groups that historically have not worked together...The Pentecost activities this spring will be an opportunity to announce the formation of these new tables around the country. Following special worship services in local congregations, public events will proclaim the beginning of a new Call to Renewal table."

Also on April 26, 1997, some 4,500 delegates attended the aforesaid Philadelphia Summit on America's Future, which was convened by Pres. Clinton and chaired by former Joint Chiefs of Staff head Gen. Colin Powell. President Clinton has been affiliated with the three leading New World Order organizations: The Council on Foreign Relations, The Trilateral Commission, and the Bilderbergers. Colin Powell is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, which is a virtual showcase of roundtable discussion groups. http://www.foreignrelations.org/studies/other/

Under PROGRAMS OF THE COUNCIL: Global and Transnational Issues is listed another Roundtable Discussion Series: http://www.foreignrelations.org/programs/stud_glob.html

The authors of MESSIAH AND THE SECOND COMING conclude their discussion of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, a chapter titled "The Holy Grail," with the following prediction of a global round table:

"The future world Round Table is being created now in the etheric realms. The symbolic golden round table of King Arthur will eventually manifest on earth where varieties of leaders, political, scientific, spiritual, from all nations of the world, will dedicate their lives to international objectives for the benefit of all, above nationalism, above religionism, above personality, for the benefit of all peoples. The spiritual unity of nations a true sister/brotherhood of humanity encompassing universal principles of unconditional love and sharing, is coming to bloom."

When this celestial Round Table manifests on Earth, it will be chaired by a descendant of King Arthur, who was guardian of the Holy Grail during his particular era of history. Another New Age book titled, THE LIGHT SHALL SET YOU FREE, confirms that England will be the center for world transformation:

"Following the death of Jesus, Mary went to England with Joseph of Arimethea. This established the vortex for Camelot, destined to come forth later in the fifth and sixth centuries. The Grail was placed in Glastonbury for safekeeping at that time. It will be through the Grail in England that the energies of transformation and ascension will be channeled, which eventually will bring the Earth into the Seventh Golden Age."

No doubt the sacred Stone of Destiny will soon identify the royal heir to the Throne of England, to whom also has been given the right (according to Merovingian tradition) to accede to the Throne of Jerusalem and occupy the seat of King Arthur at the global Round Table. The authors of HOLY BLOOD, HOLY GRAIL offer the following list of candidates for this dubious honor:

"We cannot point to one man and assert that he is Jesus' lineal descendant. There are at least a dozen families in Britain and Europe today -- with numerous collateral branches -- who are of Merovingian lineage. These include the houses of Hapsburg-Lorraine (present titular dukes of Lorraine and kings of Jerusalem), Plantard, Luxembourg, Montpezat, Montesquiou, and various others. According to the 'Prieure documents,' the Sinclair family in Britain is also allied to the bloodline, as are various branches of the Stuarts...

"During their stay in France the Stuarts had been deeply involved in the dissemination of Freemasonry. Indeed, they are generally regarded as the source of the particular form of Freemasonry known as Scottish Rite. Scottish Rite Freemasonry introduced higher degrees than those offered by other Masonic systems at the time. It promised initiation into greater and more profound mysteries -- mysteries supposedly preserved and handed down in Scotland. It established more direct connections between Freemasonry and the various activities -- alchemy, Cabalism, and Hermetic thought, for instance -- that were regarded as Rosicrucian…" (Biagent, pp. 409-10, 145-46).

EVANGELICALS and GLOBALISTS TOGETHER

The Michael

It seems incredible that the Merovingian conspirators would be able convince the world that a person with the title of "The Michael" is the legitimate heir to the Throne of England and the Throne of Jerusalem, having a place in the genealogy of Jesus Christ, who supposedly fathered children through Mary Magdalene. However, the groundwork has been carefully laid over many decades for the deception that Mary and her children migrated to Europe carrying the chalice or "Holy Grail" which Jesus used at the Last Supper.

In the 1970's, the popular Mary Stewart series of novels were published about King Arthur, the guardian of the Holy Grail, and his Knights of the Round Table. In recent years, popular movies such as "Braveheart" (William Wallace, the hero of Scottish independence) "Indiana Jones" and "First Knight" have been systematically indoctrinating the masses with Merovingian lore. The History channel often presents documentaries such as "The Shadow of the Knights Templars" and "In Search of the Holy Grail" which present the Merovingians in a positive light. A TV series called Highlander features a Scottish hero who usually beheads someone with his sword in the final scene.

A recent movie titled "Michael" featured John Travolta as Michael the Archangel come to earth to answer a widow's prayer for help. When questioned about his promiscuous conduct by a reporter, he replied, "I'm not that kind of angel." A soon-to-be-released movie titled "City of Angels" stars an angel who falls in love with a human girl and is willing to forfeit eternity and become a human being because he loves her so much.

The purpose of these movies is most likely to prepare the world for Michael the Archangel, who will be the first of many demons to manifest physically in the same way that was reported in the pre-flood account of Genesis: "...the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose." (Gen. 6:2) In very fact, Jesus foretold in his endtime discourse: "But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. (Matt. 24.37)

The Roman Dragon According to Sir Laurence Gardiner (Prior of the Celtic Church's Sacred Kindred of St Columba, Chevalier Labhran de Saint Germain and Presidential Attache to the European Council of Princes) the Abbot of Scone prophesied that one day 'The Michael' would return to the Stone of Destiny to receive his inheritance. Citing the spurious Dead Sea Scrolls, Sir Laurence also informs readers that 'The Michael' at any time in history is the High Priest Melchizedek, whose office Jesus Christ once occupied. Upon returning at the end of the age to receive his kingdom, "The Michael" will face a formidable foe:

"It is of importance to note that the X sign, which became so hated by the Roman Church, was identified with the archangel Michael (Melchizedek) onwards from Old Testament times. The heritage of St Michael was the dynasty of high Zadok priests -- a heritage that prevailed in the continuing Messianic line... Fragments of the Prince Melchizedek Document found among the Dead Sea Scrolls indicate that Melchizedek and Michael were one and the same. It is this representation which features in the Revelation when the Archangel Michael (the descending Zadokite power of the Messiah) fights with the ROMAN DRAGON of oppression... [Caps added] (pp. 299, 177) The DEAD SEA SCROLLS IN ENGLISH do in fact contain a scroll titled "The Heavenly Prince Melchizedek." The introduction to this scroll identifies Melchizedek with Michael the Archangel and also Elohim, who will officiate at the final judgment:

"The heavenly deliverer is Melchizedek. Identical with the Archangel Michael, he is head of the 'Sons of Heaven,' or 'God's of Justice' and is referred to as Elohim and 'el'... Here Melchizedek is portrayed as presiding over the final judgment and condemnation of his demonic counterpart Belial/Satan, the Prince of Darkness... The great act of deliverance is expected to occur on the Day of Atonement at the end of the tenth Jubilee cycle." (3rd Ed., Geza Vermes, England, JSOT, 1987, p. 300) In the following excerpt from BLOODLINE OF THE HOLY GRAIL, the student of prophecy will recognize at once Gardiner's chronological sleight of hand. In order to divert attention from the fact that this prophecy applies to a future Satanic system, he identifies the early Roman Empire as the dragon/beast:

"The Imperial Romans displayed a purple dragon on their standard, and it is this symbol that is depicted in Revelation 12:3, when Michael confronts the 'dragon with seven heads.' As we have seen earlier, the dragon in this instance was Rome: known historically as the City of the Seven Kings (or heads - the number of kings before the Republic was formed.)... We should therefore understand that the Archangel Michael's battle with the dragon in Revelation 12:7 corresponds to the conflict between the Zadokite succession and 'the beast of blasphemy' -- Imperial Rome." (pp. 183, 56) BLOODLINE OF THE HOLY GRAIL also features a picture of an angel slaying a dragon with the following caption:

"Truth Against the World by Peter Robson. The day of fulfillment when the DRAGON is slain and the PHOENIX shall rise...Wearing the black garb of the esoteric church, the triumphant woman carries the therapeutic serpent of wisdom and healing." [Caps for emphasis] The Stewart Clan page on the Stone of Scone states that prior to the crowning of the Messiah on the sacred Stone of Destiny, a false Christ will try to unite mankind.

http://associate.com/stewart.html

"So, this movement of the Stone of Destiny could very well be the beginning of a chain of events to shape the world -- and prepare His remnant today -- for the things about to come to pass; the false Messiah shall come first and try to fake uniting the people (Daniel 9:27) under the promised covenant of peace, but he will fail. He will pass himself off as Israel's Messiah, and Christianity's Christ." According to another Merovingian book, HOLY BLOOD, HOLY GRAIL, the Waldensians, Albigenses and Cathars of the Middle Ages were affiliated with the Knights Templar/Priory of Sion and all suffered together the persecutions of the Catholic Church. The authors misleadingly identify the Christian Church as the Catholic Church, which the Priory despises and has determined to destroy in revenge for the martyrdom of Jacques de Molay, the last Grand Master of the Priory.

Daniel 12:1 identifies Michael as "the great prince" who will deliver Israel from the oppression of the Antichrist --

"And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book." According to Merovingian tradition, "The Michael" who comes forward (stands up) as the lineal descendant of Jesus Christ and the apotheosis of Michael the Archangel, will have to defeat the Roman leader or "Christianity's Christ" who will "fake uniting the people…under the promised covenant of peace." However, the caption under the Stewart Crest of the Phoenix on the Scottish Stewart Clan Home page reads: "Courage gains strength from a wound," indicating that the Merovingian dynasty (rather than the Roman Church) is "the beast which had the wound by a sword, and did live." (Rev. 13:3, 12, 14)

Michael of the Cults An impersonator of Michael the Archangel who becomes a key figure in the unfolding of Bible prophecy would be welcomed with open arms by many false religions like the Jehovah's Witnesses, which already regard him to be Jesus.

Jesus of the Watchtower on the JW web site states: "The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, headquartered in Brooklyn, New York, teaches that Jesus has not always existed, but was himself a created being originally named Michael, the Archangel. The Jehovah's Witnesses' view of Christ is explained in their book, AID TO BIBLE UNDERSTANDING. Under the heading Michael, they state:

http://rampages.onramp.net/~watchman/jwjesus.htm

"'Scriptural evidence indicates that the name Michael applied to God's Son before he left heaven to become Jesus Christ and also after his return. Michael is the only one said to be the 'archangel,' meaning 'chief angel' or 'principle angel,'" (p. 1152).'" A New Age site sponsored by The Morontia Foundation promotes devotion to Michael the Archangel, who will prepare mankind for the new millennium:

http://www.archangelmichael.org/

Archangel Michael ~ "St. Michael, The Archangel of Cosmic Justice, is the spiritual force which moves justice throughout the universe! Archangel Michael's Clarion Call is to alert all souls to the changes in the coming new millennium. The mission of Michael's ministry is to teach each one of you how to raise your consciousness in preparation for the coming changes and to align you with the energy of the new millennium to achieve your greatest prosperity, abundance, joy and true love." Michael the Restrainer? We would expect the cults to confuse Michael the Archangel with God, however, it is disconcerting to discover that a Christian book, THE PRE-WRATH RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH by Marvin Rosenthal, teaches that Michael the Archangel is the restrainer of II Thess. 2:6 and 7: "And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way."

Rosenthal supports this claim by interpreting Daniel 12:1 as: Michael, the prince, shall "stand aside" rather than the "stand up" -- "And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book."

The following explanation of Rev. 12:1 is presented by Rosenthal on the Zion's Hope web site:

http://www.zionshope.org/html/Z9601R.html

Begin Rosenthal quote

But what does the expression, "And at that time shall Michael stand up," mean? Rashi, one of Israel's greatest teachers, whose Hebrew scholarship is unexcelled, and one who had no concern regarding the issue of the timing of the Rapture understood stand up (Hebrew, amad) to literally mean "stand still" in Daniel 12:1. Michael, the guardian of Israel, had earlier fought for her (Dan. 10:13, 21), but now he would "stand still or stand aside." He would not help; he would not restrain; he would not hold down. Young's Analytical Concordance to the Bible says that amad means "To stand, stand still or fast." And Strong's concordance cites one of the root meanings of amad as "cease" and one of its definitions as "stand still."

If a man is reclining or seated and is said to amad, he will stand "up." If a man is standing and active and said to amad, he will stand "still." The archangel Michael, in context, was already said to be actively defending Israel. To amad meant he would "stand still," "desist," or "cease" his defense on their behalf.

Some clear biblical instances of amad meaning "to be still" or "desist" are: "they . . . stood still {desisted}, and answered no more" (Job 32:16); and again, "And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people {for he was above all the people}; and when he opened it, all the people stood up" (Neh. 8:5). Commenting on this verse, Rashi indicates that the people kept quiet (stood still) while Ezra read the Torah.

Rashi wrote, concerning Daniel 12:1, "The Holy One, Blessed be He, said to Michael, 'You are silent? You do not defend my children.'" The archangel Michael who had specifically been involved with standing for Israel will, in the middle of the seventieth week, stand still, desist, stand aside, cease to stand for her.

The Hebrew word "amad" is translated "stand up" in every other verse in which it appears in the book of Daniel. In Strong's Concordance, the word "amad" is actually defined as follows:

5975. amad, aw-mad'; a prim. root; to stand, in various relations (lit. and fig., intrans. and trans.): -- abide (behind), appoint, arise, cease, confirm, dwell, be employed, endure, establish, leave, make, ordain, be [over], place, (be) present (self), raise up, remain, repair, + serve, set (forth, over, -tle, up), (make to, make to be at a, with-) stand (by, fast, firm, still, up), (be at a) stay (up), tarry.

To support his choice of translation, Marvin Rosenthal references the commentary of a Jewish scholar named Rashi. From Rashi's interpretation of Dan. 12:1 Rosenthal then draws the conclusion that Michael must therefore be "he that letteth...until he be taken out of the way" in II Thessalonians 2:7. Rosenthal includes no documented information about "Rashi, one of Israel's greatest scholars, whose Hebrew scholarship is unexcelled..." However a search on the Internet finds Rashi (Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki) aggressively promoted on several Kabbalist/Lubavitch web sites.

Congregation Agudas Achim Chabad Sages and Chasidic Masters http://www.execpc.com/~caac/sages.html

Chabad Lubavitch in Cyberspace http://www.chabad.org/gopher/texts/general/seek/seek.glo.htm http://www.chabad.org/gopher/weekly/numbers/006/w5.htm

The Kabbalah Learning Center http://www.kabbalah.com

On the web site of The Kabbalah Learning Center, the commentaries of Rashi on the Torah and Talmud are acclaimed by Kabbalists to be "a cornerstone of Jewish learning... Considered Israel’s greatest interpretation." http://www.kabbalah.com/Magazine/rabbi4.htm

Madame H.P. Blavatsky derived much of her SECRET DOCTRINE from the Kabalah, which she defines in her THEOSOPHICAL GLOSSARY:

"The hidden wisdom of the Hebrew Rabbis of the middle ages derived from the older secret doctrines concerning divine things and cosmogony, which were combined into a theology after the time of the captivity of the Jews in Babylon. All the works that fall under the esoteric category are termed Kabalistic." (P. 168) The Kabbalah Learning Center page also defines the Kabbalah. (See "About Kabbalah Learning Center"):

"KABBALAH is mystical Judaism. It is the deepest and most hidden meaning of the Torah, or Bible. Through the ultimate knowledge and mystical practices of Kabbalah, one can reach the highest spiritual levels attainable. Although many people rely on belief, faith, and dogmas in pursuing the meaning of life, the unknown, and the unseen, Kabbalists seek a spiritual connection with the Creator and the forces of the Creator, so that the strange becomes familiar, and faith becomes knowledge. "Students [of The Kabbalah Learning Center] come away with a new sense of consciousness about people, the environment, and the true meaning of life. Armed with these concepts, the student can then keep on taking eight and twelve week classes on advanced kabbalistic concepts, reincarnation, healing, astrology, and other intriguing subjects. There are also special seminars on everything from healing relationships to Kabbalah and Business to the kabbalistic meaning of the Torah."

You may recall that Hannah, the Jewish author of MASTERS OF THE BLINDING LIGHT, informed her readers that the Kabbalah is no longer the exclusive province of practical occultists, but is being mainstreamed into traditional Judaism.

"In a similar development on the mystical side of Judaism, NA spokesmen applaud orthodox Jewish teachers for recently releasing Kabbalah from the restricted access imposed on it by past generations of Jewish sages, making its teachings available to all, and even encouraging free exploration without rabbinic supervision. In Israel the Zohar (a major Kabbalistic work) is even being sold door-to-door. [This is strictly forbidden under the 'old order' of Judaism, but NAers are not concerned with proper understanding of the teaching, since Kabbalah is simply one path to their goal of getting as many people as possible, as quickly as possible, into 'contact with the spirit realm']. These teachers are being hailed as 'co-conspirators' who are furthering the NA Plan. [not stated whether deliberately or unknowingly, but the results will be the same.]" Michael the Initiator A primary passage of Scripture supporting the pre-tribulation rapture of the Church is Revelation 4 and 5. In the King James Version, the 24 elders, who are in heaven prior to the onset of the Tribulation, identify themselves as redeemed humanity:

"And they sang a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou was slain, and has redeemed US to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people and nation. And has made US unto our God kings and priests: and WE shall reign on the earth." (Rev. 5:9,10) Citing a modern editor of the Ryrie Study Bible, Rosenthal dismisses these verses with this inadequate explanation:

"Many of the Greek manuscripts and the consensus of contemporary scholarship favor the pronoun us in verse 9, as in the Authorized Version, and change the translation of 'And has made US unto our God kings and priests: and WE shall reign on the earth' to 'An has made them unto our God a kingdom of priests, and they shall reign on the earth.' (Rev. 5:9,10) With the latter translation, the elders are now understood to be praising God for redeeming the church, of which they clearly are not a part." It is beyond the scope of this report to critique Rosenthal's book. Suffice it to say that his sources are often uninspired and questionable (the Apocryphal book of Maccabees, the Midrash, Rashi, F.F. Bruce) and he betrays an end-time agenda which could easily align with the Merovingian conspiracy. The following are a few examples (of Marv Rosenthal's teaching which is parallel to the Merovingian myth):

1. The Roman Church is identified as the dragon in Rev. 12: "Revelation 12 through 14 form a trilogy of thought. First, chapter 12 speaks of a woman (Israel) who gives birth to a child (Christ) and of Satan who, when his false religious system (Romanism) is unable to kill Christ, assails the Jewish people through whom Christ came into the world. If he cannot get them to bow to him, he will attempt to kill them so that they cannot bow to the true Christ. The ultimate manifestation of this scheme will occur during the Great Tribulation, 'the time of Jacob's trouble. (Jer. 30:7; Dan 12:1; Matt. 24:21) " [pp. 73-74]

2. The interpretation of Rev. 17:14 as present tense moves the destruction of the Antichrist forward in the timetable of events so that it coincides with the destruction of Mystery Babylon. The verse says that the Lamb "shall" overcome the ten horns, however Rosenthal states:

"...the defeat of the Antichrist, which immediately follows the destruction of Babylon with its false religious system. (Rev. 17:5, 14)" [p. 74]

3. The misrepresention of the Antichrist political system as "atheistic" is a set up for the introduction of the Noahide Laws, seven deistic commandments which forbid atheism and other sins. [Please see http://watch.pair.com/rapture.html for a discussion of the Noahide Laws.] According to Daniel 11, the Antichrist will be quite religious, worshipping the god of forces (the force). However, Rosenthal states:

"(Antichrist's) purpose will be assimilation of the Jewish people through the religion of humanism...

Humanistic philosophy rests on four major pillars.

The first is atheism, the belief that there is no God.

The second pillar of humanism is evolution...

The third pillar of humanism, moral relativity, comes logically out of the two.

The fourth pillar is pragmatic and relates to values and lifestyle. 

If atheism and evolution are true and no absolutes exist, then amorality, which means no morality reigns...there is no right or wrong." (pp. 81-82)

http://www.lex-rex.com/humanism.html

PRE-WRATH RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH has many of the ingredients necessary to prepare the apostate church which, left on earth after the pre-tribulation rapture, will accept a "Michael" character who is passed off as the heroic deliverer of Israel before the real Michael the Archangel, comes on the scene (Daniel 12:1, Rev. 12:7). Numerous other books, including COSMIC CHRISTMAS by Max Lucado, are already conditioning the apostate church to accept manifestations of angels as the officiates of the global initiation.

http://watch.pair.com/cosmic.html

Considering the Merovingian plan to introduce "The Michael" as heir to the Throne of Jerusalem in the lineage of Jesus Christ and also the identification of Jesus as Michael the Archangel in the various false religions, PRE-WRATH RAPTURE may be just the book to deceive those who miss the true rapture. According to Rosenthal's exegesis of I Thess. 4:16, there will either be two shouts at the Second Coming (the Lord's shout and Michael's voice) or there is a subtle attempt here to blend the two.

http://www.zionshope.org/html/Z9601R.htm

"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout {the victor's shout (see Joel 2:11 where Jesus is seen to shout in connection with His coming at the Day of the Lord)}, with the voice of the archangel {Michael is the only angel ever specifically given the title "archangel" (Jude 9); although Gabriel may also be an archangel, he is never so designated}, and with the trump of God {the trump is blown in connection with (1) calling God's people to His presence (Num. 10:3; cf. Mt. 24:31; 1 Cor. 15:51-52) and, therefore, would be appropriate in connection with the Rapture..." To appreciate the danger of this confusing explanation of the rapture, please refer to the "Astounding Bible Truths" web site, which appears to be Seventh Day Adventist. The student of the Bible, who interprets Scripture with Scripture, will recognize the erroneous interpretation of the woman as the church, the dragon as Rome and Michael as Christ!!

http://www.intowww.org/rev/rev12.htm

"The Bible identifies who Michael is: The name is from the Hebrew mika'el which means "who is like God". Michael is called "one of the chief princes" (Dan. 10:13), "your Prince" (Dan. 10:21), and the "great Prince" (Dan. 12:1). He is the Archangel of Jude 9 who has resurrection power as is witnessed by His resurrection of Moses. At His Second Coming Christ will call the dead forth "with the archangel's call " (1Thes. 4:16). Only Christ has the "keys of death" (Rev. 1:18). Michael must be Christ who claimed, "I am the resurrection and the life." John 11:25

Interestingly, the "Astounding Bible Truths" Sabbath page has a link to another site which promotes the Celtic Church. From the main page click Sabbath, then go to Chinese Stone on which page is found a "speaking stone."

http://www.tagnet.org/llt/jimart.htm

"The Changan Monument, or the "speaking stone," as it is called, is considered to be as important a find as the Rosetta Stone for it had the inscriptions in more than one language. The truth was preserved because the Jesuits were not able to read the inscription that was in Syrian." The author then presents the typical Celtic revisionist history, i.e., the "true Christian" Celtic Church vs. the Roman Catholic dragon:

"Wherever the influence of the Roman Catholic Jesuit Priests extended, they systematically destroyed and falsified the true records of Christian history. As the night of the Dark Ages began to fade in the light of the nineteenth century, the moving of God's hand was shown in another discovery. Two renown British scholars, Reverend Dr. Graves, (Bishop of Limerick, a pillar in the Anglo-Irish Church), and Sir Samuel Fergusson, (distinguished lawyer and counsel to the Queen of England), presented their discoveries to an astonished British intellectual community. "These gentlemen proved that the ancient Celtic Ogam writings discovered on tombs and ancient temples in Ireland and Scotland were NOT writings of later centuries, but, were in fact related to, and pre-dated ancient Latin. These, and other startling discoveries revealed that the primitive seventh-day Sabbath-keeping Celtic church originated during the Roman occupation of Britain, and that the retreats of the Irish monks had been the last bastion of classical knowledge in the western world, when the rest of the world had collapsed into barbarism and papal superstition.

The Seventh Day Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses, New Age cults, Rosicrucians, the Celtic Church -- all are looking for the appearance of "The Michael" or Michael the Archangel who will defeat the Roman dragon, which they propose is the Roman Catholic Church. All have rearranged the end-time scenario so the "The Michael" arrives on the scene at the mid-point of the tribulation, at which time he slays the "dragon" (i.e., the Pope and his church), after which Michael takes his rightful place as "Christ" on the throne of Jerusalem. After "The Michael's" glorious victory, the global initiation will most likely be administered as mankind makes a covenant of loyalty to the true Antichrist. This out-of-body experience will closely mimic I Cor. 15:52 -- "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."

What rationalization will have been offered to the apostate church after the true Church is taken out of this world? Alice Bailey wrote in INITIATION: HUMAN and SOLAR that these were souls who did not "achieve the needed expansion of consciousness... (they) will be held to be failures... transferred to those planetary schemes which from the point of view of time are not so far advanced as our Earth scheme." (Alice Bailey, , Lucis Pub., p. 96)

Conclusion

From the perspective of the Priory of Sion, the Roman Catholic Church is the villain which will be disposed of by "The Michael" in revenge for the persecutions of the Middle Ages. The ubiquitous Grail propaganda would have the undiscerning believe that the great battle is between the noble Merovingian bloodline and the wicked Catholic Church, respectively designated the PHOENIX and the DRAGON.

However, Scripture treats these two systems as equally evil and worthy of God's judgment. Revelation 17:16 describes the demise of the apostate church at the hands of the beast: "And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire."

The downfall of MYSTERY BABYLON in Rev. 18 is not the end of the story. The final outcome is found rather in Rev. 19:19,20 which describes the Second Coming of Jesus Christ to destroy the real Antichrist and his false prophet:

"And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone."

May 6, 1998 Update

The Merovingian/British Israel conspiracy to usurp the throne of the Temple of Jerusaelm has been planned and executed over many centuries. The Merovingian legend portrays Jesus Christ as a member of the gnostic Essene Community of Qumran, whose messianic vision was to unite Jew and Gentile in order to deliver the world from the power of the evil Roman Empire. According to Merovingian tradition, when Jesus failed in his mission, his descendants fled to Europe and the sacred icon of his death, the Holy Grail, ended up in Great Britain. Support for British Israel doctrine is also generated by spurious claims that the ten northern tribes of Israel migrated from their captivity in Assyria to the British Isles.

Promoters of the British Israel/Merovingian mythology now appear to include a vast network of front organizations (religious, educational and political) working together to subtly permeate the world with the traditions and concepts of Druidism, euphemistically termed "Celtic Christianity." Ultimately, a Celtic priest-king will accede to the throne of the Jerusalem Temple to rule the world in the Merovingian tradition. (II Thess. 2:4)

Elements of British Israel/ Merovingian mythology are currently rampant in the Christian churches, albeit disguised with Scriptural terminology. The appended ENI article demonstrates that this occult legend is also recognized by the World Council of Churches. Note the ecumenical agreement of scholars on the legend of the Holy Grail -- none dispute the gnostic theology represented by this sacred icon, which is termed a "symbol of grace" and its quest "a search for mystical union with God."

Seattle Revival Center: Changing of the Guard

Dear Richard:

The following change has been announced at Seattle Revival Center, Seattle, WA on Friday, Oct.24, 1997. Please feel free to use this information as you deem appropriate. Thanks.

The theme for the Third Annual Celebration of the birth of Seattle Revival Center, "You Haven't Seen Anything Yet!" was more appropriate than any imagined. During the conference, the leadership of SRC met to affirm that God was calling these men to pass leadership of the Center to others in order to move into a greater dimension of ministry for past leadership and SRC. Wayne Anderson, Steve Richard and Darrel Stott have increasingly been called to America and the nations, necessitating a change in local leadership of SRC.

In a highly emotional and dramatic "passing of the torch" ceremony, the three founders of Seattle Revival Center gathered with new leadership at a "Knights of the Round Table." During an exchange of Celtic swords, the Holy Spirit moved powerfully on the entire group, confirming the direction of God. Stacey Campbell, of Kelowna, B.C. followed, and prophecied an increase and enlargement of the effect and impact of Seattle Revival Center both regionally and in the world.

New leadership includes Kevin Holland, with a Nazarene background, pastor of Covington Christian Center, Seattle, Steve Meyering, Independent Charismatic pastor at SeaTac Worship Center, Seattle, Nick Lewis, a Church of God pastor from Olympia, Rich Carey, pastor of Eagle's Nest, Blackfoot, Idaho and Greg Austin, an Assemblies of God pastor at Lake Boren Christian Center, where Darrel Stott previously pastored.

Please pray with SRC as well as Wayne, Steve and Darrel as we move into an exciting new chapter of God's plans for Seattle Revival Center.

Blessings!

Last evening I posted a report on the Rosicrucian/Revival connection and by this morning the Stewart Clan Home Page had blocked access to the CyberChurch discussion groups. Now only those having a secret password may access the information in these messages. Such secrecy confirms that the Rosicrucians and leaders of the Toronto/Pensacola Revival do not want the Christian Community to know of their association. Such stealth is also the custom of secret societies which have much wickedness to conceal!!

We are indeed a privileged a people that our gracious Lord did not work covertly, but openly among the people. He could say to his accusers who conspired in secret to murder him, "I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret I have said nothing." (John 18:20)

For those who are interested, Ann Rogers was kind enough to send the following address of the archived message on another web site.

THE HISTORY OF A MYSTERY- BBC Production

 

BEWARE OF THE HUMAN IMAGINATION.....

YOUR OWN IMAGINATION, THAT IS,

IN DEALING WITH HISTORY

A quote from a very reliable source
Me-- Steve Van Nattan
How can I be so sure of myself?
Answer:
I am all too often a victim of my own wicked imagination.
So, THERE !

Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things,
and desperately wicked:
who can know it?
10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins,
even to give every man according to his ways,
and according to the fruit of his doings.
11 As the partridge sitteth on eggs,
and hatcheth them not;
so he that getteth riches,
and not by right,
shall leave them in the midst of his days,
and at his end shall be a fool.
