Regyptian strut

(sorry for delay in new article, which I will have tomorrow for certain. I am working extra hours as a result of two co-workers quitting and the new manager of my department "walking off the job" after being in the position only two weeks! In the meantime, here's an old post that appeared in my recently read list:) 

With all the secrets and mysteries that still surround the ancient Egyptians, "one thing that is known was their obsession with the gods, the universe, the afterlife, and the rituals surrounding these wonders," writes blogger Jeff Roberts. "One has to wonder why Egyptian symbology is so prominent in modern-day society. What secrets are the elite keeping from the general public?

"Throughout the course of Egyptian civilization there were many different deities, gods, and Pharaohs that were prominently worshipped and cycled through over time (think Hollywood and modern celebrity culture).

"Many Egyptians believed that the Pharaohs were part god or divine in nature, and so the people would follow the kingship with faith in the Pharaohs’ eternal secrets to life.

"Magic and the supernatural were important aspects of their spirituality, which was supposedly taught about in the mystery schools.

"Sacred rituals were common in Egyptian worshipping temples, and the 'hymns' that were chanted during these rituals were said to contain the power to harness energies for their bidding... 

"Modern theories suggest that the Egyptians had made contact with extra-terrestrial life forms during which divine information was shared with the high-ranking members of the Egyptian society. It is suggested that this made an impact on the Egyptian’s fascination with the 'gods,' the supernatural, and the ritualistic ceremonies that were performed in the temples and mystery schools.

"The secret knowledge of the Egyptians was said to be kept hidden from the general public and was passed down over the millennia through secret societies such as the Freemasons and the Illuminati who maintained the ritualistic worship practices that was established in ancient Egypt.

"This could explain why there is so much Egyptian symbology found around the world today. For example, Obelisks from Egypt were transported out of the sacred archeological sites and spread across the world in such places as New York, London, Paris, and Rome where 13 Obelisks are stationed.

"Another example includes pyramid symbology in corporate logos, on the American dollar bill, and rampantly placed throughout music videos, movies, and television."

“The kingdom of darkness extends all the way out through creation,” says Richard Jordan, in a study examining the satanic worship of the pagans/Gentiles during the time period the Israelites were brought out of Egypt.

“When Moses writes Genesis, he’s writing to these Israelis who’ve come out of Egypt and are in the wilderness. He writes the book to explain to them who they are, where they came from and how they got in the mess they’re in.

“Remember, they’re going to go in the land of Canaan, dispossessing all the Gentiles in the land, throwing them out and getting rid of all their stuff before establishing God’s kingdom.

“Well, who are these Gentiles? Where did all that stuff they were doing come from? They were doing abominable things. Read Leviticus 18 and 20 and you’ll say, ‘Man, what kind of culture was that?!’

“That’s the culture they evolved into. That’s what darkness produces in society. In Leviticus 18 is all the sexual perversion. Moses said, ‘You see all that stuff? Stay away from it!’ Why would he tell them that? Well, why do you think the largest purveyor of information on the internet today is pornography?

“That stuff began to permeate Israel. In Deuteronomy, they’ve spent 40 years facing some of this stuff and it’s already begun to seep in and be embraced by the Israelis.

“Moses warns them in Deuteronomy 4:19-20, ‘And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.
[20] But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day.’

“Why are the sun, moon and stars there? You go back to Genesis 1 and you understand why. They’re to divide the light from the darkness. They’re to rule. They’re for signs. How they know that? Moses told them. He said, ‘When God created things, here’s what He did and here’s WHY He did it.’

“Do you see what the Gentiles were up to? They look at that stuff in the heavens and worship and serve them. Now we call that idolatry. That’s what the pagans were doing.

“They weren’t just worshipping the physical sun, moon and stars, they were worshipping the powers associated with them. The rulership, the message, the sign language, the teaching.

“But what did Job say about the heavens? Is that a good place to get your message? Is that a good thing to worship? Is that a good thing to serve?

“By the way, when he says worship, there’s a worship in connection with the powers—the sun, moon, heavens. When you worship something, you’re worshipping the invisible powers that these bodies were just the signs and symbols of.

“That’s why in religion, God said, ‘Thou shalt have no graven images.’ The image to represent that power . . . because worshiping the image, you’re really worshipping where the image came from. The image is just an expression of a thinking process. There’s spiritual force behind the making of that image and then they serve them. It always has a religio-political acts of service connected with this worship.

“Jesus Christ says in John 3:18-19, ‘He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
[19] And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.’

“There are deeds that light produces and there are deeds that darkness produces that are worshipped and served. John 3:21 says, ‘But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.’

“The love of darkness and the love of the works of darkness, that lifestyle produced by their inner appetites, their inner worship (the word ‘worship’ means to value) . . . what is it that you value inside in your thinking process?

“There’s a value system taught by darkness and those values produce works; deeds that feed your appetites. It’s all designed to 'sear your conscience.'

“Even lost people have a conscience, as Romans 2 says. God wrote His law in their conscience and that’s why anyone anywhere, when they start out know, ‘Thou shalt not kill.’

“Anyone anywhere knows, ‘Thou shalt not steal.’ Anyone anywhere knows, ‘Thou shalt not commit adultery.’ That’s why they say all the religions of the world have the same value system. No, they don’t because they abandon what God says. . .”
