Tribulation Timeline
THE SEVEN YEAR PEACE COVENANT INVOLVING GOD'S SOVEREIGN LAND OF ISRAEL AND HIS COVENANT PEOPLE IS OUTLINED IN DANIEL 9:27. THE (PHASE 1) ANTICHRIST IN HIS EARLY GLOBAL PEACEMAKING ROLE WILL CONFIRM THE TREATY. THIS WILL BE A DAY OF ALARM AND BLOWING OF TRUMPETS AND WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY COME ON SOME FUTURE ROSH HASHANAH OR JEWISH NEW YEAR. THE NEW MOON OF TISHREI MARKS THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS, THE VERY NEXT FEAST TO BE FULFILLED
Not much is outlined anywhere on exactly the nature of this Treaty. One can assume, given the problems that have plagued the Middle East that such a treaty involves a land swap of some type to the Arabs who reside in this same region, displaced when Israel became a Nation. However, if such a swap involves the current Dome of the Rock temple region or not is up for debate. We do know from the same passages that the Jewish Temple being rebuilt is part of the Treaty. However, there has always been debate if the Mosque actually sits where the original Temple sat or not. This humanistic 7-year covenant will certainly be an unprecedented compromise in which Israel will give their holy land away. The west will hand their national sovereignty away to a global megadealer. There will be consequences to this. This man will be a selfish Luciferian. He will lead many of Earth’s people on to deeper apostasy and to an abandonment of YHVH/Jesus Christ in the prophesied Great Falling Away of 2Thes. 2. However, to achieve such a feat two things will have to occur. World Monetary control will have to fall into the hands of a single group, which the Anti-Christ can manage to take control of. The Church of the Western Nations will have to have begun to question their own faith. I suspect this is brought about by both Natural events and more than likely what seems to be a religious type demonstration of power that causes them to question what they believe. The first part of all this actually is in place in the world today brought about via the globalists and the Council on Foreign Relations which also has monetary influence on what calls itself the Evangelical Movement and upon the Roman Catholic Church at present. Therefore, the system of such a switch is already in place today. The problem is no one person has come along that holds total control of this organization. 2:3 "Let no one deceive you by any means, for that Day will not come unless the falling away, (apostasy-NASB), comes first, and the man of sin, (man of lawlessness - NASB), is revealed, the son of perdition, (son of destruction -NASB) 2:4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God". "I am come in My Father's name, "And he shall enter into, (KJV "confirm), a strong and firm covenant with many for one week, (one "seven" or 7 years). And on the wing or pinnacle of abominations (shall come) one who makes desolate, until the full determined end is poured out on the desolator." In Genesis 3:15a He said, "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed." Enmity means mutual hatred. He is saying there is mutual hatred between the seed line of Satan's and the seed line of Eve's. Therefore, there are two seed lines. The serpent seed started with Cain and Adam's seed started with Seth. No matter how they have tried to cover it up in the KJV, the Dead Sea Scrolls and even verses such as Gen. 3:15 make it clear that Satan had his own seed line or Bloodline. Both of these bloodlines, if you consider the origin of them originated not of this Planet, but from other outside of earth origins. They go back to that mythical War in Heaven event. If you consider these two bloodlines as running through the human race you, actually end up with human’s today being genetically altered from their original Primate line by at least two outside races. One is the so-called Satanic or, based upon the term Dragon, Reptilian Race. The other is a more humanlike race similar to us. The apple was figurative for sexual relations masked with the terminology "Eve was beguiled by Satan" and until people accept it as the truth it is, they will stay blind to the real war going on today which is between the serpent seed line and the rest of the human race. Eve is simple a generic term for female in general. This implies Satan has manipulated the Bloodline. Adam is a generic term for Man. Basically, it is a veiled reference to the second, not of this Earth Bloodline mixed into the original human line. We live on a Planet, part of whose race which originates from both Darwinian Evolution and genetic manipulation by Alien visitors. The original Beguiling of some female ancestor of the Darwin line by Satan, was simply a seduction. This lead to his bloodline in this race. The Adam line actually came in far later through the children of a pair of aliens from another group of worlds. That gave the third bloodline on earth that is intermingled in human gene pools. The Dead Sea Scrolls confirm that Genesis 4:1 was tampered with. In fact the passage should read: And Adam knew his wife Eve, who was pregnant by Sammael (Satan), and she conceived and bare Cain, and he was like the heavenly beings, and not like the earthly beings, and she said, I have gotten a man from the angel of the Lord. The New Testament in Modern English: "We are none of us to have the spirit of Cain, who was a son of the devil.." Living Bible: "We are not to be like Cain, who belonged to Satan.." New English Bible: "..unlike Cain who was a child of the evil one.." New Century Bible: "Do not be like Cain who belonged to the Evil One." New Jerusalem Bible: "..not to be like Cain, who was from the Evil One.." And the popular commentaries confirm the same thing: The Wycliffe Bible Commentary page 1473: "He (Cain) is said to have belonged to the family of the wicked one." Matthew Poole's Commentary on the Holy Bible, volume 3, page 936. "Which showed him (Cain) to be of that wicked one, of the serpent's seed: so early was such seed sown, and so ancient the enmity between seed and seed." In John 8:44 Jesus was speaking to the Pharisees and proclaimed, 'Ye are of your father the devil.." The term "of" meaning generation, offspring. They were of the physical seed of their father the devil. Now back to the Garden of Eden. In Genesis 2:16 we read: And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. And the woman said unto the serpent, (Nahash), We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. "And the Lord said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat." The tree of knowledge was the means to sexual knowledge. Knowledge is to "know." Knowing means to perceive, experience, learn. It is also used as an euphemism of "to know someone" sexually as when Adam "knew" his wife. The terms eat, touch, and know are often used in Biblical lingo for sexual relations. Lucifer was the way of knowing good and evil. He was the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil because through him they would learn evil, they would perceive evil, and they would experience it. The implication, once you get beyond all the Biblical language is simple. We have this original Darwin brought about humanoid race. Satan, and the rest of the fallen or in rebellion races came to earth. They had sexual relations with the original human race women and added their gene pool into the human race. The second Adam, had sexual relations with his wife adding a third gene pool into the human race and forever modify that race from its original appearance. Who was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? Lucifer. He, and those with him, seduced Eve(Those original human woman), impregnated her(them), and began his own genealogical offspring and seed line on this earth that is part of us today. The second Adam came much later and his Bloodline also is part of us today. There has always been three gene pools within the human race ever since this point. In Matthew 13:24-30 and 37-43. Sandwiched in between in verse 35 is the proclamation: "I will utter things which have been “kept secret from the foundation of the world." Jesus then revealed the significance of the parable as meaning He (Yahweh) had fathered the good seed (wheat) and that the tares belonged to the wicked one, they had been fathered by Satan. Verses 24-30: In Josephus, Wars 2:8:2 Jewish Historian Josephus makes it quite clear the Pharisees and Sadducees were not Israelites by birth: For there are three philosophical sects among the Jews. The followers of the first of whom are the Pharisees; of the second the Sadducees; and of the third sect, who pretends to a severer discipline, are called Essens. These last are Jews (Judah) by birth, and seem to have a greater affection for one another than the other sects have. Micah 2 Basically, it is a wilderness area with potential hostile living conditions, which could fit any place in the world where such conditions exist. One could attempt to read into this South of the Dead sea which say here in America would be South of the Great Salt lake or the desert/Mountain regions of Utah. However, I suspect that all this refers to is a wilderness area offering this woman and those with her protection. Those with her I suspect includes many who form their own army of protection for the woman. If the accounts in the Bible and History origins may be taken at face value, the kingship of Edom was, at least in early times, not The reason I focus on the whole Indian Chief idea is the original couple with the actual third bloodline original crashed in the area around Devil’s Tower in Northeastern Wyoming. In essence, this original pair that crashed here settled in amongst the Indians in that area becoming their Sky God’s of legend and taught them their culture and language. In some ways they where not only the original Priest and Priestess of that tribe. They where also Chieftains of the tribe during their stay in that region. It would seem to be the most natural place for the Chosen One’s female and those with her to flee to. Nearly 26,000 years ago was the end of an ice age. That area may well have had a large inland salt lake region of its own back then due to run off. In all it would seem fitting that the "Bozrah" they flee to is back at was at one time their own first ancestor home land on earth. I also suspect the usage in certain writings of the term Angel Islands could very well also refer to America given this Country was Founded by the Angel Islands, or England. There is also a connection with the original couple to the myth of Atlantis. There is a trigger to this switch from nice world leader to beast. It marks the end of the first 3.5 years of Peace that started right after the Chosen Woman bore a child. That trigger is an assignation attempt in which he is mortally wounded in the head and is revived. This attempt could come from at least two avenues: One would be someone out of say a Christian Background that sees this man as the future anti-Christ and thinks that by killing him his reign can be stopped. This could also be something he himself sets into motion to delude the world into believing he is God in the flesh. Either way in anger, he breaks the Treaty. Places his image in the rebuilt Temple, thus equating himself as God, establishes his own new economic system with all buying and selling depending upon an ID that contains the number of his new name he takes on at this time. This is the real Mark of the Beast. It is the number of a name he takes on at this point, and not his actual birth name at all. He then moves his own Military to control the populations of the other Nations, and, goes after the Chosen Woman who bore a child before this. Israel is caught in the middle of all this and itself flees into the wilderness from which eventually an army of 144000 will be raised. THEREFORE, ENDS THE 70TH WEEK. THE 6TH SEAL OPENS WITH THE SUN TURNING TO DARKNESS AND THE MOON TO BLOOD. THE SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN IS SEEN IN HEAVEN. ( There are three major aspects that come into play at all times in regarding all things. The choices the Elders make, the choices Lucifer makes, and the individual choices we make. No matter the fact the human race comes from a mixed gene pool. We still make choices that determine our destiny. The Elders have their own plan, and yes, both sides in that old war are represented in those Elders. Lucifer and his group manipulates things on this Planet to his own advantage. Humans make choices that determine in the end run who they will follow. The whole thing with Watchers(Those angels and demons from both parties) is a game of chess and trying to keep things balanced in favor of one side or another, till a certain prophecy mentioned time period. However, it is human’s that work with that balance sheet and via choices determine the actual outcome. The other two simply provide good and bad influence. Nothing is further from the truth than the Devil made me do it. You decide for yourself what you will do. Neither side generally ever forces anything on anyone unless perhaps they force something upon some of the other groups Watchers. Even there it is simply that long running game of chess. The original Treaty, if you wish, was a choice by both sides to fight this battle out across time and space until one side wins. The result of that battle is two sets of home worlds destroyed, the human race caught in the middle like some chess board pieces. The original Watchers from both sides incarnating across history playing out a war started long ago that in some ways should never have taken place. You might be asking do the Reptilians abduct people. Both elements of the Reptilian races abduct people. Mostly for the purpose of genetic experiments to further alter the race and to create the Anti-Christ child. They also have been by some stories involved in the deaths of individuals to protect the knowledge of both their presence and agenda. The two main elements of the Reptilians and the Grey’s, as most call them. The Grey’s are a slave race with advanced genetic skills and the normal Reptilian or Dragon race. The MIB, as some call them, are for the most part genetic soulless clones under the control of the Grey’s. There are also human’s used from time to time who are in league with the Reptilians, usually under direct mind link to their Reptilian leaders, a sort of direct mental possession of sorts. Disembodied Reptilian spirits can also occupy other human bodies and be used from time to time, which is the more classical type of possession. One way to tell the difference with these disembodied spirit possession cases between the Grey’s and the Master Reptilians is the Grey’s are easier to banish from a human body than those of the Masters. Even incarnate in one of their own bodies the Grey’s are far easier to kill than the Masters. An interesting aspect is the Grey’s do not reproduce sexually at all. They use cloning to create new bodies. The Reptilians are capable of reproduction. However, with human’s they tend to produce offspring that are insane and deformed. This has led them to utilizing the clone methods of the Grey’s to attempt to produce a Master/Human hybrid. In all, physical Grey's can be killed nearly as simply as a human is killed. The problem is their metal abilities and ability to cloak themselves, alter their form, and move fast makes them a hard target. The other larger Reptile Race is far harder to kill due to all of the above, many times our strength, and that armor like scale/skin. If one could get close enough taking off their heads at the neck with a sword would be the way to go. My recommendation would be someone trained in Ninja type fighting skills. Mentally, no human is really a match for these. Notes on the Bloodline and it's connection to Grail Legend. The fictional Book of Hebron, which predicts a Messiah will come from England (the Angel Isle). : "And it shall come to pass that in the End Days, the Beast shall reign one-hundred score and thirty days and nights, the faithful shall cry: Wherefore art thou in the Day of Evil? And the Lord shall hear their prayers. For out of the Angel Isle he shall bring forth a Deliverer. Angel Isle, the original Latin has Ex Insular Anglorum - England, and any offshoot of England, such as America. Compared to: There are ancient prophecy from which this short saying of a fictional book of Hebron in the movie Omen:Damion is derived from. These go back to Arthurian Legend, where Author was called the Once and future King. Behold the Lion of Judah As already mentioned before there is a separation between the Lord and the King. The King is the one who sits on the Throne. The Lord is the Savior who the King serves on earth. Christ was known to have an alignment of stars foretelling His own birth as the new King of Israel. It is possible some similar alignment will predict the birth of the King who sits on his throne, serving him. It has been mentioned before that sometimes angels bring death. In the bible when God needed to punish someone, or make an example, or whatever, God sent an angel? Did you ever wonder what a creature like that must be like? A whole existence spent praising your God, but with one wing dipped in blood. Would you really want to meet an angel? In essence, Angels are Message bringers, Diplomats, and Warriors. They can bring warnings, messages of peace, and they can bring death. The Merovingian Kings were rulers in what is now France from 481 through 752. In history, the Merovingian’s were a dynasty in what is now France, which was at the time called the Frankish area. The name was given to them because of Merovius (also known as Merovech), who began the family, and who attained near mythical status with his skills and feats. His descendants all proudly called themselves Merovingian’s. The Merovingian’s were thrown out of power by the Pope in 751 with the "Donation of Constantine" - where they were called pagans and renounced. The Pope feared their power and replaced them with the Carolingian dynasty, of which Charlemagne was a member. Still, they worked on in secret, claiming to have direct bloodlines to Jesus Christ (through Mary Magdalene, his lover) and wanting to redeem themselves. They felt the Papacy had become a refuge for thieves and liars, and that it fattened itself on the profits it made from the poor. The Merovingian’s wanted to return Christianity to its for-the-people roots. The Knights Templar and Freemasons, who came from the same background, continued to work towards freeing the "real people" from the bureaucracy and control of the established Catholic church, and to allow the power of the Messiah to help and touch the people. What is interesting is that two sets of what some call Illuminatti have arisen for the most part out of this line. One is that set I referenced in my Book Dark Forces under the Council on Foreign Relations, the other is a far more non-public grouping of people who have down through the ages sought to bring back the roots of Christianity. The Merovingian family is famous for their connections with the Knights Templar, and the Search for the Holy Grail. It was even said that Merovius' ancestors came from Atlantis, and were from the stock of a race of very intelligent, powerful, caring people, again a reference back to the second bloodline of the Chosen One‘s. Merovius had a child, Childeric I. Childeric is much more documented historically. That's because Chidleric took over Gaul in 456 when the Romans were good at documenting things. It's also because Childeric wasn't a very nice guy. He kept using royal powers to get his hands on the young maidens in his kingdom, and the parents became furious with him and kicked him out. Childeric managed to regain power, and run off with the wife of a friend of his. He had a son with her, Clovis, and died in 481. Clovis fought many wars, married Clotilda in 493, and was baptized. He became the first "Christian" ruler of this area. He died in 511. Note that this line goes down through generations to Charlemagne, the famous King of the Franks, born in 747. From Charlemagne it goes down through more generations to Eleanor of Acquitaine who married Henry II, King of England. While nothing is known of where she went after the death of Christ, it is possible she could of migrated to Spain, part of Rome, and then later to France. So there could be some core of truth to the whole Bloodline back to Christ aspect. The Fish reference, while also pointing to a name used for Christ, also is interesting in that there are Elder Aquatic Races out there also. Could be a veiled reference to another Alien Bloodline on Earth. The Merovingian’s claimed their descent from the Sicambri, who they believed were originally a Scythian or Cimmerian tribe once inhabiting the river Danube that changed their name to the Franks in 11 BC under the leadership of a chieftain called “Frankus”. The Franks first appear in historical writing in the 3rd century. The Merovingian’s traced their Sicambrian origins from Marcomir I-died 412 BC and ultimately to the Kings of Troy. Marcomir I lived around 400 BC and preceded the Merovingian dynasty. St. Gregory, Bishop of Tours was installed in 573 and was made The west Germanic tribe of the Sicambri descended from the Cimmerians. The Sicambri were located along the right bank of the Rhine and appear about 55 BC. They fought several wars with Rome, namely one led by Gaius Julius Caesar. In 16 BC they defeated the Roman army under Marcus Lollius. About 11 BC they were forced to move to the left side of the Rhine by Nero Claudius Drusus. Herodotus described the Cimmerians of the north Black Sea coast as a distinctly autonomous tribe expelled by the Scythians. The Cimmerians in 714 BC were in the region of Azerbaijan, and in the 7 and 8th century BC were in southern Russia and Ukraine. Their language was Iranian(again back to Babylon and the bloodline convergence). There were many off shoots of the Cimmerians. Numerous Celtic and Germanic peoples descended from the Cimmerians. The etymology of Wales is said to descend from the Cimmerians. The Celts in France were known as Gauls. The Celts spread into present day Italy where remnants in the town of Doccia, in the province of Emilia-Romagna, showcase Celtic houses in very good condition dating from the 4th century BC. Haplotypes from current Y Chromosome DNA studies show that Central Asia was a mixing pot of several population groups. Haplotype R1a and R1b is found in eastern and western Asia as well as Europe and the United States. So, in essence, there is a strong genetic link in this ancestor path leading from both parts of Asia into Europe and on to England and eventually the US. If you trace this back far enough you arrive at Babylon which has both bloodlines involved in it. It should be pointed out that the last ice age ended about 9,000 to 10,000 years ago, and the first melting back began about 25,000 years ago, placing the end at about the 8 th millennium BC. Carbon 14 dating has allowed archaeologists to trace the emergence of the Scythians to the Sayan-Altay mountains from 3000BC to about 500BC. These mountains are where Russia, China, Mongolia, and Kazakhstan come together. They are also known as the homeland of the Turks. The mean elevation in the central area is about 4500 meters. About 900 BC the Scythians began a western migration. Abraham, the father of the Jewish race, and also the bloodline in the Arab race dates from about 2000 BC out of the region of UR in Babylon. So, this bloodline spread into Babylon prior to the time of Abraham. A 2500 year old mummy was recently found in the snow capped mountains of Mongolia with blond hair, tattoos, and weaponry. The mummy was preserved by ice and was found at 2600 meters. All in all this primary set of Bloodlines can be traced back across Asia into Europe and eventually over to the English Islands and on to America after it was discovered. There is hints in all this of the earthly bloodline of both the Chosen One Parents of the King, as well as that of the Anti-Christ. In fact, I would be willing to bet that given I came across all this in a very short time of research that there is even more hidden away in prophecy and history about this out there. There is also, as I mentioned in Dark Forces, a tie to Syria on the Anti-Christ, which is another area those Nomadic Tribes eventual migrated to. Basically, the Anti-Christ is of mixed ancestry, hence the reference to him as a Leopard or having spots like one. I suspect all the evil side knows is that which exists out there in legends of a certain Sky God pair, and the mixture of their genes into the human pool, along with certain Biblical ties to the bloodline of Christ. Only time such a couple would be detectable from the rest of the human’s was back when they first came here, back when they still had the features of their race like the pointed ears. Even though the reference in Revelations show that the Dragon of old knows exactly who this couple is prior to the birth of the child. This kind of has a potential similar ring to the events at the coming of Christ when King Harold, having been for told about the birth of a child that was to be King, set about to have every male born child killed. Also rings of the story of Moses back under Egypt. If anything there is already an established pattern of the other side pulling out all the stops on going after such a child that has any connection to that bloodline. Down through history the second Adam bloodline has been their target. Either through genetic pollution, or through direct killing off of children within that line because they know that bloodline spells their doom given the enmity between these two lines. A close look at the passage in Revelations, with the Dragon of old ready to consume the child of the Chosen One’s, rather says they have never altered their plans even once. This whole consumption idea is born out elsewhere when it comes to this Demonic Reptilian Race. Demons are often referenced in the Bible as consuming the dead lost in hell. From my own past life memories I remember such a feasting on dead humans, and I have heard in modern times tales of the Grey’s actually killing humans who got too close to the truth, though nothing in those retelling of events mentions anything to do with any of them having ate anyone. Since there is also the stories of abductions out there, with enough evidence that not everyone abducted is returned, it does give room to suggest those missing one’s may have themselves become meat for whatever table the Reptilians sit at. As to if they died due to the effects of genetic experiments and then where consumed I cannot speculate. In my, Incident at Chanute: Complete Edition book, I give a brief introduction to the idea of Starseed, aliens from other races, that live amongst humans taking on human form, being born human in most cases with a memory of having lived on another world. There are legends and myths in certain cultures about Changelings, often described as troll, elf, or demi-god like creatures replacing normal human children after birth. Elf, kind of fits from all the mythical beings to the memory of the Sky God race. This could be nothing more than a genetic throw back to that bloodline root. The others like trolls, etc tends to sound far more like something out of the Reptilian line. So, here again there seems to be very old myth that backs up the idea of genetic manipulation of the human race down through the ages. I recently heard a radio program where someone mentioned that if such an exchange of children took place in modern times who would the Parents turn to and report such. Those parents would be hounded by the Police, locked up away in a mental Institute, etc. I would rather tend to not believe even if such did happen it would ever get reported. That also raises the big question of what is the fate of the switched human child? The whole abduction idea raises in my mind certain questions about possibly not all reported missing children fell prey to sinister humans, and even some of those many adult missing people that statistics show vanish every year may themselves have been abducted with no witness of such. That again suggests not all those abducted end up being returned with the further question of what became of them? When you look at all the indirect evidence out there you begin to see a picture of how sinister the agenda of both Reptilian bloodlines really is. My own events 31 years ago, if it is related as I suspect, suggests to me that at least some within our Military and Government are under their control and leadership. In my Book Dark Forces I rather point out just how much of a perfect setup for the whole Anti-Christ rule one major worldwide organization in control and influencing our world leaders is. The interesting thing to note is in all the Starseed tales out there, none of the more normal Alien races seem to desire to take over our Government. They seem more interested in helping the human race to evolve than to manipulate, which itself shows a vast difference between these other races and the more demonic Reptilian ones. I have found no evidence at all of any good intentions on the part of the Reptilian race when it comes to humanity. In fact, the list of their actions would in an open World Court have them brought up on charges of crimes against humanity, for example kidnapping against one’s will, experiments resulting in death and in some cases mental breakdown, abduction of children, forcing actions against the normal will of a person, all of their actions reported in almost every case rings like something from the headlines of the Nuremburg trials. One could add in many other often reported crimes and add in their human agents into that list for such a trial if one ever was opened up. The Reptilians, in general, when you sift through all the reports about them out there, down through the ages, has never shown anything other than a sinister plan when it comes to the human race. Yet, there is a lot of indirect evidence that at least some in our Governments are in league with them. No wonder, it seems like over time our Government get’s further away from Representing the people, and more into getting rich, and doing as little as possible, except take away our rights. A race of sheep is more to their heart, than an educated informed and involved population that men like Jefferson said was vital to the heath of any real democracy. Timeline on mass killings showing an increasing frequency 1. Virginia Tech - 32 dead plus the shooter, 16 April 2007, Blacksburg, Virginia However, since the mid 80’s such cases have been on the rise, with 2000 onward being an almost exponential growth in such events. This past two years alone there have been multiple cases of such across the Nation. Colorado and now this tragedy. When I said, Meme there has been some research on the subject that it is possible for something akin to a computer virus to show up in human’s. No, not from too much video or computer watching. From other multiple root causes. Funny thing is such a Meme would spread almost exactly like a computer virus effecting others via contact. The result would be an increase in killings like these all occurring closer and closer together. san greal - "Holy Grail".
The quest for the Holy Grail makes up an important segment of the Arthurian cycle, appearing first in works by Chrétien de Troyes. The early Grail romances centered on Percival and were woven into the more general Arthurian fabric, in which other knights such as Sir Galahad played a prominent role. It was connected with Joseph of Arimathea in the writing of Robert de Boron in the late-twelfth century, in which Joseph receives the Grail from an apparition of Jesus and sends it to Great Britain. Building upon this theme, later writers recounted how Joseph used the Grail to catch Christ's blood, and still later theorists have suggested that the Grail is actually a symbol for Jesus own blood-line, with Mary Magdalene as the initial "vessel" symbolized by the Grail. The Grail was considered a bowl or dish when first described by Chrétien de Troyes. Other authors presented it differently. The word graal, as it is earliest spelled, appears to be an Old French adaptation of the Latin gradalis, meaning a dish brought to the table in different stages of a meal. Late medieval writers spoke of the sangréal or "Holy Grail," related to an Old French, word meaning "royal blood." The Grail is first featured in Perceval, le Conte du Graal (The Story of the Grail) by Chrétien de Troyes, who claims he was working from a source book given to him by his patron, Count Philip of Flanders. In this incomplete poem, dated sometime between 1180 and 1191, the object has not yet acquired the implications of holiness it would have in later works. While dining in the magical abode of the Fisher King, Perceval witnesses a wondrous procession in which youths carry magnificent objects from one chamber to another, passing before him at each course of the meal. First comes a young man carrying a bleeding lance, then two boys carrying candelabras. Finally, a beautiful young girl emerges bearing an elaborately decorated graal. Chrétien refers to his object not as la graal, a common noun. For Chrétien the grail was a wide, somewhat deep dish or bowl, often used for fish dishes such as pike, salmon, or lamprey, but here containing a single communion wafer which provided sustenance for the Fish King’s crippled father. Perceval, who had been warned against talking too much, remains silent through all of this, and wakes up the next morning alone. He later learns that if he had asked the appropriate questions about what he saw, he would have healed his maimed host, much to his honor. Chrétien may actually have intended the Eucharist wafer to be the significant part of the story, and the Grail to be a mere prop.

Also the Occasion of his Coming to ENGLAND, Where he first preached the Gospel at Glastenbury in Somersetshire; and where is still growing that noted White-Thorn, which buds every Christmas-Day in the Morning, blossoms at Noon, and fades at Nights, on the Place where he pitched his Staff in the Ground. THE person we are going to speak of, named Joseph, was a just, holy, pious, and devout man, born at Arimathea, otherwise called Rameth, and afterwards Ramula. It was a city formerly allotted for the Levites, and situated near Sophim on mount Ephraim, near the confines of the tribes of Benjamin and Dan; and is also noted for being the birth place of Samuel the prophet, who here lived and died, and was buried. Here Joseph was born, and from hence was called Joseph of Arimathea; he was the son of one Matthias, who was considerable for his extraction, but more for his justice and authority in Jerusalem, which was the metropolis of that country; his bringing up, during his tender years, was with one Jonathan, who was his brother by the same father and mother, with whom he profited in all kind of sciences, having a good memory, and quick apprehension; so that being yet a child of fifteen years of age, he was praised by all men, in regard of the good affection he had to learning, that the priests and noblest citizens vouchsafed to all his opinion of things that concerned their laws and ordinances. He was born about eight years before the nativity of our blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and about the age of seventeen years, his desire being to search and have an insight, into the laws and customs of the three sects of the Jewish nation, the Pharisees, which is the chiefest, the second the Saducees, and the third the Esseans; to the end he might chuse the better of the three, when he understood them all. He declined the two latter, and adhered to the former, addicting himself to such great austerities and labours, that hearing of one Malachi an holy man, who lived in a desart, cloathed himself with nothing but what the trees brought forth, fed on no other kind of meat but what they freely yielded, and washed himself oftentimes by day and night in cold water; to keep himself chaste, he went and lived with him, and imitated his course of life, for the space of four years, at which time he returned to Jerusalem again, at the age of one and twenty years. However, when Jesus Christ began to take upon him the great work of the ministry of the Gospel, and by his holy life, pure doctrine, and supernatural miracles, had procured many Jews to embrace what he taught them, among the rest of his followers this Joseph of Arimathea became a great admirer of our Saviour's preaching, insomuch that declining the Levitical laws, as then taught in the Jewish church, he became a sincere convert, and followed Christ in all the journeys which he took throughout the land of Judea and Galilee, for the promulgation of the Gospel. But when Jesus was betrayed by Judas, who sold the precious blood of our lord and master, for the value of thirty pence, after the condemnation was passed upon him by Pontius Pilate, the Roman president of Syria, and he was crucified on the cross, for the sins of the whole world.--As soon as he was dead, this Joseph of Arimathea, who was a rich man, went, as the evangelist St. Matthew tells us, chap. xvii, 58, 60, to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered; and when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in the rock, and he rolled a great Stone to the door of the sepulchre and departed. Now, as for the manner of the sepulchre wherein our Saviour was laid, take the description thereof, as given by Adricomius, in his relation of the Holy Land, and which is as follows: The glorious sepulchre of our Lord, says he, was a new monument, situated about one hundred and eight feet from mount Calvary, and distant one thousand paces from mount Sion. Here it was that Joseph of Arimathea, a noble senator, cut out of a rock that was in his garden, a place of interment, in which he, together with Nicodemus, the blessed Mary, and other women, buried form the cross by consent of Pilate, the body of Jesus, which they had wrapped up in fine linen, perfumed with myrrh and aloes; his head was placed towards the West, from whence it has been the custom ever since, among the Christians, to bury the dead, in many of their church-yards, with the feet towards the East; and those attending his sacred funeral, having rolled a great stone to the door of the monument, they returned to their several habitations. In the mean time, the priests, scribes, and pharisees, endeavouring to hinder the resurrexion of Christ, they set a guard of soldiers to watch the sepulchre, the mouth whereof they closely shut up, and set their seals on the door, that they might not be deceived thro' any frauds, either of his disciples or their own keepers; but this diligence of the Jews, who would have obstructed his rising, did rather increase the miracle, and confirm the faith of our Saviour's resurrection; for, on the third day after his crucifixion, receiving life again, he came to Mary Magdalen, first in the likeness of a gardiner, according to these words of the evangelist, Jesus saith unto her, woman, why weepest thou? she, supposing him to be the gardiner, saith unto him, If thou hast borne him hence, tell me: here thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. John xx. 15. After the death of our Saviour, Joseph of Arimathea led a solitary life, about six months, in commemoration of our Saviour's crucifixion for his salvation, as well as the whole race of mankind; but this time of penitence being compleated, he came again among the apostles, and by St. Peter was adopted one of the seventy-two disciples.--So to make good that great charge which he had took upon him, understanding from Felix, who then governed Jerusalem, that certain noble Christians, men of much honour, and more virtue, were, for preaching the Christian faith, sent to Rome by his commandment, to answer what was objected against them in Cæsar's presence; being desirous of the service, and having special intelligence, that * the torments wherewith they were martyr'd, lessened not their piety, but that they lived contentedly on figs and nuts. He, for this cause, departed presently for Rome, and was encountered with many and grievous hazards by sea; for the ship wherein he sailed was wreck'd in the midst of the Adriatick sea, and about six hundred of them were forced to swim all night long, and at day-break, by God's providence, a Cyrenian ship came in sight, and he, and about fourscore others, who outswam the rest, were taken up, and saved. After he had in this sort escaped, he went to Diarchia, which the Italians call at this day Puteoli, and grew acquainted with Baliturnus, a Jew born, who was a comedian, and in good reputation with Tiberius; by whose means, insinuating himself into the empress Poppeia's knowledge, he determined to beseech her to procure the liberty of those Christians in bondage; and being gratified likewise by her with many gifts, he returned again into his own country. Being now returned home, and having given a full account to the twelve apostles, of what special service he had done for the vindication of the Christian liberty at Rome, he was appointed and ordained to go and preach the Gospel in England; and according as the mission commanded him, he took shipping at Joppa, and sailing with a great deal of difficulty, and meeting many dangerous storms, through the Mediterranean sea, he at length landed at Barrow-bay in Somersetshire, and then proceeding onwards of his journey eleven miles that day; came to Glastenbury in the same county; where, fixing his pilgrim's staff in the ground, it was no sooner set in the earth, but just like Aaron's rod (which blossomed flowers when there was a contest betwixt him and other learned Jews for the priesthood) it was presently turned into a blossoming thorn, which supernatural miracle made the numerous spectators, who came to see this wonder, be very attentive to hear his preaching the Gospel, which was concerning Christ crucified for the redemption of mankind. Thus Joseph of Arimathea, by his godly life and good behaviour, having obtained the good-will of one Ethelbertus, a king then reigning in the western parts of England, and many other nobles, whom he converted to the Christian faith, he founded a most famous abbey at Glastonbury; which was the first Christian church in the world, and by the large endowments settled upon it afterwards by the Christian princes, it became one of the richest monasteries in Christendom. In the ancient town of Glastenbury the holy Joseph of Arimathea continued till the day of his death, being forty-two years, so that he was eighty-six at his death; and so venerable was his person then held, that six kings of those parts honoured his corpse by carrying him on royal shoulders to the grave; which was made in the chancel of Glastonbury-abbey, and had a most stately tomb erected over him, with the following inscription: HERE LIES THE BODY OF THAT MOST NOBLE DISCIPLE, RECORDED IN SCRIPTURE BY THE NAME OF JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA, AND NOTED BY THE FOUR EVANGELISTS, ST. MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, AND JOHN, FOR HIS BEGGING THE BODY OF OUR BLESSED SAVIOUR WHEN CRUCIFIED TO REDEEM LOST MEN FROM ETERNAL DESTRUCTION, AND BURYING IT IN A TOMB OF HIS OWN MAKING. HE DIED A.D. 45, AGED 86. The church-yard of Glastonbury, formerly called Avolonia, is also noted for the burial-place of king Arthur, whose sepulchre was searched for by King Henry II. and found under a stone, with an inscription on it, declaring whose ashes it covered. But what is more remarkable is the White-Thorn, otherwise called the Holy-Thorn, which to this very time is noted thro' all Europe, for its budding on Christmas-day in the morning, blossoms at noon, and fades at night; and the reason is as above said; for that it was the staff of Joseph of Arimathea, which he fixing in the ground, it instantly took root where this famous thorn grows, and thereby proclaimed that spot a resting place for its master. And though the time of superstitious popery is in this kingdom abolished, yet does thousands of people, of different opinions, go annually to see this curiosity, which appearing supernatural, and contrary to the course of nature, makes us cry out with Psalmist, O Lord! how marvellous are thy ways! FINIS.
The Holy Grail was a vessel used by Christ at the Last Supper. Given to his grand-uncle, St. Joseph of Arimathea, it was used by him to collect Christ's blood and sweat while Joseph tended him on the Cross. After Christ's death, Joseph was apparently imprisoned in a rock tomb similar to the one he had given for the body of his grand-nephew. Left to starve, he was sustained for several years by the power of the Grail, which provided him with fresh food and drink every morning. Later, St. Joseph travelled to Britain with his family and several followers. He settled at Ynys Witrin (Glastonbury), but the Grail was taken to Corbenic where it was housed in a spectacular castle, guarded always by the Grail Kings, descendants of Joseph's daughter, Anna (Enygeus) and her husband, Brons. Centuries later, the location of the Great Castle of Corbenic became forgotten. At the Court of King Arthur, however, it was prophesied that the Grail would one day be rediscovered by a descendant of St. Joseph: the best knight in the land, the only man capable of sitting in the mysterious Siege Perilous. When such a man arrived in the form of Galahad, the son of Lancelot, along with a miraculous, though brief, vision of the Grail itself, a quest to find this holiest of relics began. Through many adventures and many years, the Knights of the Round Table crossed Britain from one end to another in their search. Perceval (Peredyr) discovered the castle in a land that was sickly like its spear-wounded King. When entertained by this "Fisher" or "Grail King", however, he failed to ask of the grail and left empty-hand. Lancelot next reached Corbenic, but was prevented from entering because of he was an adulterer. Finally Galahad arrived. He was permitted entry to the Grail Chapel and allowed to gaze upon the great cup. His life became complete and together grail and man were lifted up to heaven. The Holy Grail first appears as simply "a grail" in the works of Chrétien de Troyes. The word is probably derived from the Old French word graal meaning a "broad and capacious dish or salver". Though usually thought of as being a cup or chalice, the Grail has indeed been variously described as a platter, dish, a cornucopia, horn of plenty or even a book or a stone. The name of the Castle of Corbenic has competing explanations. Old Welsh Cors, meaning "Horn," the Horn of Plenty as the Grail is sometimes described may have become confused with the Old French Corps, producing Corps-Benoit meaning "Holy Body," ie. the Body of Christ. More likely, however, is the suggestion that Corbenic stems from Corbin-Vicus. The ending is almost certainly derived from the Latin for "Settlement," while Corben is a French translation of the word Crow or Raven: Bran in Welsh. This was also a man's name and, as Brons, he appears as St. Joseph's son-in-law, one of the first Grail Kings. Hence Corbenic was "Bran's Settlement". It may be identical to the home of Lancelot's father, Caer-Benwick. Ancient Origins: The quest for a divine vessel was a popular theme in Arthurian legend long before medieval writers introduced the Holy Grail to British mythology. It appears in the Mabinogion tale of Culhwch and Olwen, but particularly well-known is the story of the Preiddeu Annwfn or "Spoils of the Otherworld" as recounted by Taliesin. Arthur and his warriors sail off to the Celtic Otherworld to capture the pearl-rimmed Cauldron of Annwfn: like the grail it was a giver of plenty, but also of prophecy. It was at last discovered at Caer-Siddi (or Wydyr), an island bound castle of glass, where it was guarded by nine divine maidens; but the ensuing perils were too much for even Arthur's men. The mission was abandoned and only seven of their number returned home. The magic Otherworld vessel was the Cauldron of Ceridwen, the Celtic Goddess of Inspiration. She is remembered today in the archetypal hideous cauldron-stirring witch. She once set about brewing a drink of knowledge and wisdom for her hideous son, but her kitchen-boy, Gwion, accidentally tasted the concoction, preventing anyone else from benefiting from its affects. A great battle of wills ensued, for Gwion now held all the knowledge to escape the Goddess' wrath. The two changed themselves into various animals in an attempt to outwit each other before Gwion was swallowed whole as a grain of wheat. He was eventually reborn as the great bard, Taliesin! In the New Testament of the Christian Bible, Joseph was a rich man from Arimathea, a town probably about 30 kilometers north-east of Jerusalem. There is not much information on Joseph. Joseph was one of member of the Council [Mark 15.42], where Jewish priests and teachers had interrogated Jesus, when Jesus was arrested. Joseph did not approve of his colleagues' action, but was powerless to do anything to help Jesus. Joseph was secretly a follower of Jesus [Matthew 27.57; Luke 24.50-51; John 19.38], but was afraid of the Jewish authorities. At the Crucifixion on the hill, called Golgotha (The Place of the Skull), Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judaea, granted Joseph's request to entomb Christ's body in a nearby cave outside of Jerusalem [Matthew 27.57-60; Mark 15.42-47; Luke 23.50-56; John 19.38-42]. With the help of Nicodemus, Joseph had anointed Jesus' body with spices (myrrh and aloes), before wrapping in linen sheet around the body. Then, they closed off the tomb with a large stone. This tomb is now called the Holy Sepulchre is the most holy site for the Christians, where they built a large church to enclose the places of the Crucifixion and the tomb. Only the gospel of John, mentioned Nicodemus assisting Joseph with the preparation of Jesus' body; in fact, he appeared earlier in this gospel, twice. Nicodemus was a Jewish leader among the Pharisees. Nicodemus had gone to speak with Jesus about the resurrection. Later, when the Pharisees were outraged over Jesus' preaching, Nicodemus tried to calm them down, saying that they couldn't condemn a man without a hearing. In the Arthurian legend, particularly that of the Perlesvaus, the Grail hero Perceval was a direct descendant of Nicodemus, while on his mother's side, he was descended of Joseph's sister. Most of what we know of Joseph of Arimathea come from the Arthurian legends, particular from a work by a French poet named Robert de Boron (Borron) called Joseph d'Arimathie (c. 1200). From the Vulgate Cycle, prose adoption called Estoire de Saint Graal, and Queste del Saint Graal (c. 1230). Joseph and his son-in-law Bron (in Boron's version) or his son Josephus (Vulgate), were keepers of the Grail. Joseph received the Grail, when he was thrown in prison, because the Jewish authorities thought he had stolen the body of Jesus, after the Crucifixion. Forty-two years after the death and resurrection of Jesus, Joseph was released from prison by the emperor Vespasian. Joseph and his son (Josephus) or his son-in-law (Bron) took the Grail to Britain, where it was kept, until the time of King Arthur. Joseph also had another son who was named Galahad, king of the Hosselice. (Hosselice was another name for Wales). Lancelot and the Grail hero, Galahad, later found his tomb. These heroes were therefore descendants of Joseph of Arimathea. When Joseph and son went to Britain, they were imprisoned by the pagan king but were rescued by Mordrain. Joseph was wounded in thigh by a broken sword. (Later in the quest, Galahad would restored the Broken Sword and given it to Bors. See Holy Grail in the Quest of the Holy Grail.) (Most information about Joseph of Arimathea in the Arthurian legend comes from the Queste del Saint Graal (Vulgate Cycle), one can not find affordable English translation of Joseph d'Arimathie (by Robert de Boron). "Behold, Above is one of the early references to Arthur. It seems to imply that when he first became a leader he was a beardless boy with a sword. Legend has the sword brought to him by the Lady of the Lake. However, this sword is not a normal earthly sword. It has special powers. It was made of a metal that could not be broken and could penetrate stone. What you find in all the Arthurian legends in a connection to both magical items dating back to Christ and to those who knew Christ, which may well be a reinforcement of the original idea of sang real - "True Blood" or Holy Bloodline. In the earliest writings, while many references have their origin in extra-Biblical and Biblical writings and traditions of even earlier origin, the central theme remains a tracing of a bloodline that goes back to the time of Christ and the Holy Land. This bloodline runs up through France and into the English isles. It ran in many of the legendary Arthurian knights of the round table and in King Arthur himself. The implication of at least one epic poem is that the Cup was caught up into heaven with one of the decedents of this bloodline. However, this could in itself be a reference to a future event where the Child of the Chosen One’s is himself caught up by the forces of good. As such, there would be a reinforcement of the idea that his bloodline traces itself back through that line of what some call Grail Kings. The key Nations involved in this bloodline, once we go past the Holy land origin are France, England, Scotland, and Ireland, or the old Celtic line of Kings under the Anglo Saxon line. The Line of King Henry is included in this after the time of Arthur, though nothing after Arthur’s time ever tends to reference the grail or sang real again. The time period of the original dates back to the time of the Knights Templar., who themselves figure within legend. The only thing we know of Arthur and Guinevere, an arch type of the Chosen One’s is a few references like the one in the Jester’s story where, the thistle next Arthur’s heart is Guinevere. It is interesting that the thistle or vine that blooms goes itself back to the original origin in the story of Joseph of Arimathea and his magical staff thrust into the ground. Implying that she herself has a connection back to Joseph of Arimathea, or perhaps, in the legend back to Nicodemus. The implication would be both have that sang real line within them. As to if the Grail or cup was a sacred womb or not there really is nothing of honest recording on the subject. However, many in the Jewish line trace their family lines back to relatives of Christ. So, either way there seems to be evidence of a spread of his genetic line on into England, even if none were direct decedents of him. So, the central idea of a sacred bloodline is true. However, one can also, via the language in these original tales make note of the fact that it was a staff, or Penus symbol, thrust into the ground, often a symbol for fertile womb, that brought forth the vine that blooms on Christmas day. We know that historically Christ was not actually born on the 25th of December. However, we could have a veiled reference to some future point where the Bloodline of a certain male is mixed with the bloodline of a certain female producing a child born on December 25th of some unspecified year. If that be the case, then the bloodline of Joseph, related to Christ himself, will be mixed with a bloodline going back to Mary Magdalen, and this bloodline will bring forth a child destined to rule on Christ’s throne, the Woman’s child that is caught up in the book of Revelations. Looking at this from this perspective one could literal see the Cup as the Womb of a woman and the staff a figure of the sex organ of a man. Via these two the bloodline of Christ becomes manifested forward in time no matter if Christ and Mary Magdalen were not actually man and wife. Thus, the almost non-supported idea of a child of Christ is originated in the story of his bloodline moving across history to some future time and place. The core idea would then be real, even if the mythical story is itself pure fiction.
