Q the Rays of Light



Sinar is a Malaysian/Indonesian word translated to English as "Rays of Light".  Remember, the Great Pyramid had a gold capstone on the top which, when reflected, could likely be seen for miles.

This phrase in Genesis 11:2 could simply mean that the plain was located in the land of the rays of light.  If you look at Cushite headresses, many of them depicted rays of light.


Could Mount Sinai be Mount Sinar, the Mountain of Rays of Light?




The word is Siynay, but could be derived from Sinyay. Sinyay is a Russian word for "blue". Mount Sinyay could be "the blue mountain".  Also, we can look at "Ciynay" as a possible root of the word "Cyan".  Or "Mount Cyan".  Strong resemblance phoenetically to, "Mount Zion".

 

Since the Great Pyramid was capped with polished limestone, it's possible that the reflective surface made the monument appear blue like the sky. 


Osiris is shown with blue skin.  Is that symbolic of the color of water? Or the color of the sky?  Water in the heavens and on the earth? 

God is all around us like the oceans and the atmosphere. God is invisible but powerful like the tides and the wind.  He has strength like a flagpole. God is the storm.  God is also the calm after the storm.  Chaos and order in cycles.

In Greek mythology, the power of Zeus was that he could throw lightning bolts.   The pyramid was capped with gold, a conductor of electricity.  Electricity is also all around us. It is also powerful.  

 If you put a banner on a ring on a flagpole, it will spin or make revolutions in the wind. 

Benjamin Franklin didn't discover electricity.  The ancient world knew about electricity.  Franklin was being symbolic with the kite (the flag), the string (the pole) and a key on a ring (banner).

Ezekiel's Wheel

Revelation 4:7

the first living creature like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third living creature with the face of a man, and the fourth living creature like an eagle in flight.

Amun-Ra, an eagle with a man's head.

Cherubim feature at some length in the Book of Ezekiel. ... In Ezekiel 1:5–11 they are described as having the likeness of a man, and having four faces: that of a man, a lion (on the right side), and ox (on the left side), and an eagle.

March = In like a lion, out like a lamb (sheep). Spring forward, fall back.

Jewel of King Tut: Ra-Horakty

Ezekiel 10:9-11 English Standard Version (ESV)

9 And I looked, and behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one beside each cherub, and the appearance of the wheels was like sparkling beryl. 10 And as for their appearance, the four had the same likeness, as if a wheel were within a wheel. 11 When they went, they went in any of their four directions[a] without turning as they went, but in whatever direction the front wheel[b] faced, the others followed without turning as they went.

Note: The front (first) wheel is the face and it looks away from the evil. The second and third wheel are the feet - the sun and the moon.  And the fourth wheel is the rotation of the complete symbol in the third dimension.



Brightest Saturn, Spring's Lion.

Mercury was then forced to return the oxen and he gave his lyre to Apollo to replace the missing oxen

The double-headed eagle - symbol of Venus

Mars - God of War (face of a man)

An interesting read on Enoch's Zodiac and Ezekiel's Wheel.

I see a sheep, lion, goat and ox going from left to right.  It's interesting to me that the sheep and goat were modified in their descriptions.  The writer calls the figure in the middle "a lamb".  So perhaps he was saying that one had the face of the figure in the middle (the lamb).  And if you can zoom in on the face of the goat, it could resemble an eagle flapping its wings.

Luke 16:14 The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all this and were sneering at Jesus.

Matthew 23:14 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you devour widows' houses, and for a pretense you make long prayers; therefore you will receive greater condemnation.

The Tradition of the Elders (Matthew 15:1-9)

Q the Ark of the Covenant


This is from the qbible website for Exodus 25:10. The ark is not only defined as box, it is a gathering. The Covenent could have come from 

"Ka" "Venant"

This could be a mixture of an Egyptian word for the lifeforce or spirit (Ka) and the French word of today "Venant" meaning "Coming". If you've been following this blog, you know that's an important word that was found in the Great Pyramid meaning that the Pyramid was a place to gather humanity again in the case of a great flood. 

There is belief that covenant comes from two words: 

"Con" and "Venant".

I believe the Ark of the Covenant is actually the 42 Principles of Maat, which are also known as the "Negative Confessions". A negative confession could be something that you are "coming" forth about. So the "Con" Venant" could be the Negative Confessions. 

Another possible derivation could be:

"Cove" and "Venant".

This could be related to water entering in, as in the Nubian culture where they gather and water is poured as an offering.

So Ark of the Covenant roughly translates as: "The Gathering of the Coming Spirit (or possibly the Extended Spirit or the Confessed Spirit)".

The Ark of the Covenant: The Gathering of the Coming Spirit

God is Alpha and Omega. So when you look at the Zodiac, you see those symbols. Omega is Libra (the law). Aries are the (rams, or male sheep). The symbol of the scales is based on the Scales of Justice held by Themis, the Greek personification of divine law and custom. She became the inspiration for modern depictions of Lady Justice. The ruling planet of Libra is Venus. Libra is the only zodiac constellation in the sky represented by an inanimate object.

In the Egyptian zodiac, you see that "the law" is Maat.

The Bible says that Moses kept the 10 commandments in the Ark of the Covenant. So he was ending the first tablets (laws) and making a second set of tablets (laws) but keeping his 10 commandments within the 42 Principles of Maat. Scholars generally agree that Moses was inspired by them, but I think there's more to it. I also think Moses wasn't going into Mount Sinai, but Mount Sinar (or some variation relating to the Kingdom of Kush and the Nubians) who actually built the pyramids. The Qbible website says that the word "Sinyay" is of unknown origin. I think it relates to Sinar, Sennar, or the Kingdom of Sennar and the Kush Kingdom (especially Nubia, which I am finding is a good candidate to be the lost city of Atlantis).

Rereading verses beyond Exodus 25:10 in this context, keeping in mind other translations of the words, it is easy to conclude that "overlaying with gold" really means an expansion of the gathering with a pure shimmering. Remember, also that the capstone of the Great Pyramid was reportedly a shimmering capstone of gold.

This is probably why scholars are having such a hard time finding the Ark of the Covenant, the Tower of Babel, Mount Sinai, the lost city of Atlantis, and Noah's Ark. They have misinterpreted some words and overlooked some obvious truths. To be fair, many of the writings at the time probably be had to be coded or metaphorical in that the authors' lives could have been at risk for writing certain things.

This got me thinking about the other books written about the other Egyptian Zodiacs.

The chart above is not the only Egyptian Zodiac.  The one above is the traditional Egyptian Zodiac.  There is also a Pharoah's Egyptian Zodiac.   

I can't recall exactly, but I somehow started to focus on Thoth. So what is the book of Thoth? It is called "The Ten Keys of the Hermes Trismegistos". Hermes Trismegistos is the Greek equivalent of Thoth.

Matthew 16:19I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”

Revelation 1:12 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. 14 The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, 15 his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters. 16 In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength.

17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, “Fear not, I am the first and the last, 18 and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.

Thoth pouring the water of life.

Seven Hermetic Principles

The Ark (the Gathering) in the Heavens

The Ark and the Cross (Crux)

“And the nations were angry, and Thy wrath is come… .Ark of the Covenant & Cross/Scepter & Flower of the Field Constellations-you may share And the temple of God was opened in heaven, . and there was seen in His temple the Ark of His testament: . and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, . and an earthquake, and great hail.” . Revelation 11:18, 19

Matthew 11:11

Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has arisen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
 
The smallest constellation is Crux, the southern cross.  

NOTE: The least is the greatest. The lowest is the highest. As above, so below. So below, as above. As the outside, so is the inside. As inside, so outside. The Ace in the deck of cards is valued at 1 (lowest) or 11 (highest). 1:1 is a relationship. 11:11 in numerology signifies a spiritual presence, a synchronicty.

COVID-19 (S is the 19th letter) is COVID-S, also pronounced Covetous. It affects the ACE-2 gene. It takes away the breath of life (Jesus).

The Ark of the Covenant in the heavens is known today as Sagittarius (goat herder) which matches with Nieth on the Egyptian Zodiac (the 11th hour).  This coincides with Sekhmet on the Pharoah's Egyptian Zodiac.  Sekhmet's husband is Ptah, a great protector.

Q the Gathering




Egypt Dead Sea Scroll Says "Gather"

Khufu ship at Cheops

The story of Noah's Ark (Cheops Boat) could be the story of the Tower of Babel (Great Pyramid). Noah's Ark and the Cheops boat are both made of Cypress wood. The Bible says Noah's Ark was 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits tall. There is much debate over what a "cubit" was at the time.

Have you ever seen someone measure like this?

If you held this up to something to measure between your fingertips, you are making a cube with your hands. When I tried it, I get about 7 inches in length. But I have large hands, so I will go with about an inch shorter - 6 inches. I think this is fair since the average man's thumb is 2.7 inches from the joint (about 5.4 inches doubled) So somewhere between 5.4 and 7.

So if 1 cubit = 6 inches, then to find the number of inches of 300 cubits, multiply by 6 inches = 1,800 inches. Or about 150 feet. The Cheops boat measures 143 feet.

The width is known as 50 cubits wide. 50 cubits x 6 inches = 300 inches or 25 feet. The width of the Cheops boat hull is 19.5 feet.  But consider the oars.

While it is not precise, it's in the ballpark.

Babylon was in Egypt. The Babylon Fortress is located in Coptic Cairo (old Cairo). Old Cairo is on the opposite side of the Nile river from Giza.

The answer is really easy for me to see.

And Nubia (the Nubian gods, Anubis) is the lost city of Atlantis.


Plato's Discussion of "Atlantis" in Timaeus

Notes added to the graphic below are in RED.

Excerpts from Plato's Timaeus, adding notes in RED and underline for emphasis:

 Many great and wonderful deeds are recorded of your state in our histories. But one of them exceeds all the rest in greatness and valour. For these histories tell of a mighty power which unprovoked made an expedition against the whole of Europe and Asia, and to which your city put an end. This power came forth out of the Atlantic Ocean, for in those days the Atlantic was navigable; and there was an island situated in front of the straits which are by you called the Pillars of Heracles; the island was larger than Libya and Asia put together, and was the way to other islands, and from these you might pass to the whole of the opposite continent which surrounded the true ocean; for this sea which is within the Straits of Heracles is only a harbour, having a narrow entrance, but that other is a real sea, and the surrounding land may be most truly called a boundless continent. Now in this island of Atlantis (the continent of Africa) there was a great and wonderful empire which had rule over the whole island (Kush Empire) and several others, and over parts of the continent, and, furthermore, the men of Atlantis had subjected the parts of Libya within the columns of Heracles as far as Egypt, and of Europe as far as Tyrrhenia. (The Kush Empire) This vast power, gathered into one, endeavoured to subdue at a blow our country and yours and the whole of the region within the straits; and then, Solon (Egypt and Nubia), your country shone forth, in the excellence of her virtue and strength, among all mankind. She was pre-eminent in courage and military skill, and was the leader of the Hellenes. And when the rest fell off from her (Egypt and Nubia separated in 1070 BC), being compelled to stand alone, after having undergone the very extremity of danger, she defeated and triumphed over the invaders, and preserved from slavery those who were not yet subjugated, and generously liberated all the rest of us who dwell within the pillars. But afterwards there occurred violent earthquakes and floods; and in a single day and night of misfortune all your warlike men in a body sank into the earth, and the island of Atlantis in like manner disappeared in the depths of the sea. For which reason the sea in those parts is impassable and impenetrable, because there is a shoal of mud in the way; and this was caused by the subsidence of the island. 

I have told you briefly, Socrates, what the aged Critias heard from Solon and related to us. And when you were speaking yesterday about your city and citizens, the tale which I have just been repeating to you came into my mind, and I remarked with astonishment how, by some mysterious coincidence, you agreed in almost every particular with the narrative of Solon; but I did not like to speak at the moment. For a long time had elapsed, and I had forgotten too much; I thought that I must first of all run over the narrative in my own mind, and then I would speak. And so I readily assented to your request yesterday, considering that in all such cases the chief difficulty is to find a tale suitable to our purpose, and that with such a tale we should be fairly well provided.

Read it carefully.  Can you see metaphors to the Kush empire?  Can you see that this is a metaphorical, figurative story?  The "island of Atlantis" is the Kush empire, Nubia (Kingdom of Sennar, now Sudan) declared independence from Egypt around 1070 BC, it was united (one language) but became divided (many languages).  

That's why you cannot find this missing continent Atlantis. Nubia is Atlantis.

Q a Great Tribulation

The Great Tribulation.*15g “When you see the desolating abomination* spoken of through Daniel the prophet standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),16then those in Judea must flee* to the mountains,17* h a person on the housetop must not go down to get things out of his house,18a person in the field must not return to get his cloak.19Woe to pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days.20* Pray that your flight not be in winter or on the sabbath,21* i for at that time there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will be.22And if those days had not been shortened, no one would be saved; but for the sake of the elect they will be shortened.23j If anyone says to you then, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it.24False messiahs and false prophets will arise, and they will perform signs and wonders so great as to deceive, if that were possible, even the elect.25Behold, I have told it to you beforehand.26So if they say to you, ‘He is in the desert,’ do not go out there; if they say, ‘He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.*27k For just as lightning comes from the east and is seen as far as the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.28Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.

The Coming of the Son of Man.29* l “Immediately after the tribulation of those days,

the sun will be darkened,

and the moon will not give its light,

and the stars will fall from the sky,

and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

30m And then the sign of the Son of Man* will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming upon the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.31n And he will send out his angels* with a trumpet blast, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

The Lesson of the Fig Tree.*32“Learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near.33In the same way, when you see all these things, know that he is near, at the gates.34Amen, I say to you, this generation* will not pass away until all these things have taken place.35o Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

The Unknown Day and Hour.*36p “But of that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son,* but the Father alone.37* q For as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.38In [those] days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day that Noah entered the ark.39They did not know until the flood came and carried them all away. So will it be [also] at the coming of the Son of Man.40* r Two men will be out in the field; one will be taken, and one will be left.41Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken, and one will be left.42* s Therefore, stay awake! For you do not know on which day your Lord will come.43t Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour of night when the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and not let his house be broken into.44So too, you also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.

The Faithful or the Unfaithful Servant.*45u “Who, then, is the faithful and prudent servant, whom the master has put in charge of his household to distribute to them their food at the proper time?*46Blessed is that servant whom his master on his arrival finds doing so.47Amen, I say to you, he will put him in charge of all his property.48* But if that wicked servant says to himself, ‘My master is long delayed,’49and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eat and drink with drunkards,50the servant’s master will come on an unexpected day and at an unknown hour51v and will punish him severely* and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.


The End Times
(Revelation 1:1-3)

1“At that time Michael, the great prince who stands watch over your people, will rise up. There will be a time of distress, the likes of which will not have occurred from the beginning of nations until that time. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered.

2And many who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, but others to shame and everlasting contempt. 3Then the wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens,a and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever and ever.

4But you, Daniel, shut up these words and seal the book until the time of the end. Many will roam to and fro, and knowledge will increase.”

5Then I, Daniel, looked and saw two others standing there, one on this bank of the river and one on the opposite bank. 6One of them said to the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “How long until the fulfillment of these wonders?”

7And the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by Him who lives forever, saying, “It will be for a time, and times, and half a time. When the power of the holy people has finally been shattered, all these things will be completed.”

8I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, “My lord, what will be the outcome of these things?”

9“Go on your way, Daniel,” he replied, “for the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end. 10Many will be purified, made spotless, and refined, but the wicked will continue to act wickedly. None of the wicked will understand, but the wise will understand.

11And from the time the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation set up, there will be 1,290 days. 12Blessed is he who waits and reaches the end of the 1,335 days.

13But as for you, go on your way until the end. You will rest, and will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days.”

"The Daily Sacrifice"

https://www.jesus-resurrection.info/the-daily-sacrifice.html

In Daniel 8 and 11 the word "sacrifice" follows "daily" - "the daily sacrifice." The word "sacrifice" is not in the original Hebrew text, and is therefore italicized. The translators of the King James Version added it about 2000 years later. The only way the translators could make sense of these texts was to add the word "sacrifice" to "daily," thus connecting it to the evening and morning sacrificial offerings. The term "evening and morning" is mentioned twice in Daniel 8; therefore the translators concluded that the word "sacrifice" must belong to the word "daily." However, the word "daily" can stand alone even with reference to the "evening and morning."    


The Book of the Dead is also called the Going Forth by Day From Night.  From Dark to Light. Judgment: The Living and the Dead. The evening and morning.

Speculating that the  time the "abomination of desolution was setup" was the day when Trump became elected and the end of this abomination of desolution is the end of the COVID-19 manufactured crisis - that puts 1,290 days at July 2 or 3, 2020.

And the 1,335 days would be around September 16, 2020, if this theory is correct.  I am hoping that it does not mean from the start of the lockdown, because that could mean that this lockdown might last for years. 

Or the writer could have been writing in coded gematria to send messages? That could be a good possibility since the scripture says we should not know the day or hour of these tribulations. Maybe that's another clue. The gematria for 1290 is idol or House of God.  Could that mean people will realize that the Great Pyramid is the House of God  and the Tower of Babylon??  That we will all realize we are all in this together? The gematria for 1335 is the written law or the holy scripture.  Could that mean blessed are those who understand each of them and how they should correlate?  Because it will be easier from them to get through this tribulation. 

Interestingly, the links below also say 

On a monument of Kasba of Tanger is written in Arab language: "Mahomet saves the world of the incredulity". Using the numerical values associated with Arab letters, the value of this sentence gives 1335.

Incredulity is the state of being unwilling or unable to believe something.

 I have linked the gematria here.

Q the Future


Q the Symbolism - and Some More Music!

Sorry to let the cat out of the bag, but let those can see this, see this. Let those who can hear this, hear it.
The government says COVID-19 stands for CO for Corona. VI for virus. D for disease. And 19 because it started in December 2019 in China. But isn't virus and disease redundant? Isn't that sort of an unusual acronym?

I'm going to tell you what it really stands for. You might want to sit down.

19 is the letter S in the alphabet. Now repeat this three times. COVID-S. COVID-S. COVID-S. Do you hear it? Covetous.

Covetness is greedy, acquisitive, grasping, avaricious mean having or showing a strong desire for especially material possessions. covetous implies inordinate desire often for another's possessions

It is alleged the ACE 2 gene is being impaired. The ACE card is the card of highest classification.  The ACE card often represents one or eleven - the first and last.  The beginning rank of cards and the end. ACE 2 could be written as 1:1 (a relationship) OR 11:11 - a symbol in numerology of a strong spirtitual presence or synchronicity that is more than coincidence.

So, COVID-19  (COVID-S or covetous), is disrupting ACE2 genes impairing spiritual relationship to God.

Now take it further. COVID-19 (covetous) stops you from breathing and you die. I realize now that Jesus is a representation of Horus. The Egyptians have a book called the Breathing Permit of Hor (which is Horus). But even if you don't agree, you must admit Jesus is the breath of life. So if you have COVID-19 (covetous), it disrupts God and you cannot breathe (know Jesus) and you cannot live.

So now I ask you, do you still believe there is a disease? Or is all of this just a coincidence?

UPDATED: 

I don't know if someone is playing some games at Google or if this was scrubbed, but I extensively researched this May 20, 2020 and now I can't find things I recall reading just a few days ago about VMAT2 impairing autonomic function in regards to COVID-19.  You can still find many other articles for other diseases that make a similar assertion.

So I have updated the page accordingly.  Two can play at that game.

Now most articles that come up say that the gene is ACE2, not VMAT2.  Regardless, I CAN say this, they contain mostly the same proteins.

VMAT2 is an integral membrane protein that transports monoamines—particularly neurotransmitters such as dopaminenorepinephrine, serotonin, and histamine—from cellular cytosol into synaptic vesicles.

ACE2 (serotonin, norepinephrinedopamine) Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (an enzyme is a protein that is a catalyst) (ACE2) is an enzyme attached to the outer surface (cell membranes) of cells in the lungs, arteries, heart, kidney, and intestines.

Notice that the only difference in the proteins are the neurotransmitter histamine. The definition of an enzyme is that it is a protein that acts as a biological catalyst.

I can confirm that serotonin and dopamine are both important elements in respiratory function and autonomic functioning - like breathing.  If breathing just stopped without explanation as is being alleged, that suggests to me the signal to breathe is being stopped and not making it through the nervous system.

 The VMAT2 gene is also known as - the God gene.
