Who knew the Creation Museum gathering could be toppled? But it was.
Just the week before, we had a Doctor Who College Plus Gathering here in Columbus to watch "The Day of the Doctor". So I totally was ready to meet new CPers!
Arriving at the Port Columbus CMH Airport, I said goodbyes to my sisters and parents and went through security. I met up with the Proffitts, who were on the same flight as I was. The plane was on time, with a little confusion at the gate changes, but all was well.
We boarded the plane. First time flying with friends! Landing in Dallas, the weather took a turn for the worse, as rain started to pour. As the Proffitts got their baggage at the claim, I headed to Terminal E to meet Taryn. A few minutes of confusion later, I finally arrive to meet the group waiting for us, with the Proffitts beating me there. (But it was an adventure!) I met Alex, Neil, Kimberly, Andrea, Amie, Rebecca (Becky), Paul, Justice, and a few others. And Joshua Loomis! A bearded Joshua Loomis!
Our shuttle took us to the camp called Lakeview Camp of Assemblies of God. We got registered with yellow wristbands, and we headed out for dinner. I then saw Daniel Diedrich, who I met in the Creation Museum, and who also is my Churchill President (I'm the VP). They had some brisket and everything - best camp food I have ever tasted. Sat with some guys at the table. Everyone was open to conversation.
We then headed out to orientation! After learning some guidelines, we split into our small groups.
Met this dude right here. His name is Rusty. He is an actor. The kid in the Courageous movie, in fact. He is a College Pluser!
Watched the pre-show on BBC America livestream. There was a dancing show on BBC One, where a judge commented that a dancer moved like a Dalek.
Lots of references to everywhere. A nod to the classic in the very first scene.
All the Doctors are present, even the classic ones. Well, in a way they all are. You'll just have to watch it to see how.
A classic Doctor shows up in persona, but not in the way most people know. No, it's not Paul McGann (though Paul does show up in the Night of the Doctor).
David Tennant's Doctor is not the alternate universe clone.
Steven Moffat has brilliantly used time travel to tell the story. Alternate timelines may be giving away too much.
Rose comes in her Bad Wolf form (this is not a spoiler since it was already confirmed), and only in her Bad Wolf form. She does not come as the peppy Rose we all know.
No other companions show up, sadly. Many are referenced, though.
As a story, it kinda stands on its own. It's not just hyped-up fanfare, there's an actual story! A story of loss and gain and hope and good stuffs. Also, there is an explanation of how the Zygons are tied in.
The episode is a seismic change in the direction of the show. But not a darker one, as some hoped it would. At least to me, it's not dark at all! It's about hope!
So, I can't wait to see it in 3D with my friends on Monday! :D Can't wait for the Christmas special as well.
I'm a conspiracy nut. But hey, there is so much Illuminati symbolism and dialogue in this new viral video, I could not resist to dissect it. Here is their MP3: The Fox (What Does The Fox Say?)
The first part of the video shows a party of people dressed up as different animals. If you know anything about the secret societies, they dress up as animals with masks in their secret gatherings.
By 0:40, the singer transforms into a fox costume, and asks a question, "What does the fox say?", which is the apparent theme of the music. Parallels can be drawn with the supposed transformation that the Illumined supposedly go through, but we'll assume that's coincidental rather than intentional.
The singer then is transported in a Bohemian Grove-like atmosphere with masked dancers. Again, secret societies always wore masks as a sign of secrecy for their rituals. Beams of light, or illumination, seems to be prominent in the video.
I assume that the main singer in costume acts as somewhat of a "high priest" in a middle of a ritual circle, at least in appearance. Again, I do not want to inject more there than it really is, but that is the impression. If this is really a Bohemian Grove-type, then it would make sense.
On 0:57-58, an old grandfather is supposedly reading a book of fairy tales to his grandson. He will feature prominently later in the video. The grandfather is illuminated by a lamp.
I suppose this could mean that the Illuminist families indoctrinate their children in their rituals at such a young age. This coincides with what the former Illuminist, now-turned Christian Svali testified.
At 1:12, the singer describes the fox. It seems harmless at first, just describing the general features of said fox.
Foxes in the Bible are always in antithesis and opposition to Christ and His work.
Luke 13 31 The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee. 32 And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected. Song of Solomon 2:15
Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes. Matthew 8:20
And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
Nehemiah 4:3
Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall even break down their stone wall.
On 1:30, something reminded me of a Bible passage. The singer says "So beautiful".
Ezekiel 28:12 12 "Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty." 13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. 14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire."
The fox is a picture of Lucifer, as far as I can ascertain. The fox is Satan, a spirit of the grove, an adversary of Christianity. The singer then says "Like an angel in disguise" in 1:33.
2 Corinthians 11:14 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
Interesting correlation, no? Light prominently showers the video, the false light of illumination, it seems.
The next phrase by the singer is curious. "But if you meet a friendly horse, will you communicate by morse? How will you speak to that, horse?" Huh? Well, the Morse code is a secret code or cipher, something secret societies use (not Morse specifically, but code in general). Also, Morse code involves telegraphs, which is tapping of fingers. Secret hand signals, perhaps? Maybe. The horse is friendly, meaning it could be a fellow member of said secret society. Again, this is just a guess, but from what I know of the Luciferic Illuminati, that may be the correct hidden interpretation.
On 2:30, rays of light that may represent enlightenment go out towards the viewer, with the main singer on front. The singer makes more interesting sentences.
"The secret of the fox. Ancient mystery. Somewhere deep in the woods. I know you're hiding."
Ah yes. The ancient mysteries. Some secret societies, maybe most, hold onto occult philosophies that call themselves ancient mystery schools. Mystery schools have hierarchical degrees and occult secrets in layers. Freemasonry, various orders, Druidic traditions, etc. are examples of mystery schools.
All mystery schools can be traced to the religion of the Tower of Babel, a first one world humanistic defiance of God.
Revelation 17 17 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. 3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5 And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.
Singers start to levitate. Levitation is one of the so-called secrets of the mystery schools. Singers then ascend as they sing.
"What is your sound? Will we ever know? Will always be a mystery. What do you say?"
The fox finally appears and says something. But he is not noticed. Maybe the rituals are not high enough the hierarchy?
"You're my guardian angel hiding in the woods. What is your sound? Will we ever know? I want to know!"
The construction of groves, or a collection of trees used for religious purposes, is prohibited by the Old Testament in the Bible. In them are idol worship held. The video is set in the middle of the woods. The Bohemian Grove in California is a well known grove where an owl statue of Molech still resides today, used by the elite in occult rituals.
Deuteronomy 7:5 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.
You can also see the All Seeing Eye (the Eye on the Pyramid) punctuated throughout the video in flashback images and subtly hidden scenes. Lots of scenes where you can only see one eye on the character, by the turn of the head, or hair hiding the other eye.
Zechariah 11:17 Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened. Matthew 6:22-24
22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
In the end, the light of day ends the ritual dance. The Illuminists put on their form of normalcy.
So, what is the sound of the fox?
1 Peter 5:8 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Again, that is what I see with Illuminist symbolism within the video. Is it coincidental? I'd like to think so, but I would also welcome the possibility this truly is an Illumined work.
We're just acquaintances now. Almost strangers, but not quite.
No one. I have no one.
I never really knew where I stood with her. Who is she to me? Who am I to her? I. Don't. Know.
Musing #3:
I think all that I am is an annoyance to her. That I really don't mean anything to her. That I just imagined I might have meant something. But not really. Maybe, I have meant something, just not in the way I thought I did.
I asked her out once. I don't think I'll ever do it again. I felt like I wasn't wanted there. She sounded like she wanted to be anywhere but there where I was. That's why I ran. So she wouldn't have to be anywhere near me.
I tried to be just a friend to her. But I can't. She can't as well.
When I look at her, I see all my failures. When I look at her, I miss her even more. So close, and yet so unreachable.
And I still am running.
Musings #4:
Why do I pour out my heart on these blog posts?
Because I want to, that's why. And the majority of the readers won't know the details.
So you are left to ponder.
Musings #5:
Only God can bring this soul to peace, this longing heart to hope.
A dilemma was postulated by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, who asked Euthyphro: "Is what is morally good (holy) commanded by a god because it is morally good (holy), or is it morally good because it is commanded by a god?"
This was brought to my attention by the above game, Socrates Jones. It features an Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney-style gameplay, but instead of a court case, you are literally debating the meaning of morality for your life... because apparently you died since you didn't buy deer repellant and now you have gone to philosopher "heaven" (or more accurately, "purgatory"). At any rate, it's not an afterlife you want to spend much more time in.
Euthyphro is the first philosopher you debate against. In the game, he argues that mankind is flawed, which is true. He then argues because the gods are better than humanity, they determine what is good. But his premise fails because of his belief in polytheism, for the gods contradict each other. His counterpoint to that is most gods (and religions) agree on what is good and what is bad. Which brings back the dilemma, do the gods agree because that thing is intrinsically good?
After a few pensive thoughts, my mind turned to Scripture, which, naturally, has the answer.
Isaiah 6 1In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. 2Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 3And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
The passage equates God as thrice Holy (reflecting His Triune nature). It doesn't say "God says what is holy" or "God knows what is holy", it says He is the very essence of holiness and moral good. It cannot be separated from Him. His very nature is holiness and moral good! No God, no holiness.
Euthryphro fails to acknowledge the thrice Holy God of the Bible. There are no other gods but Him. What he has is only a false dilemma once you know the actual state of things.
Isaiah 45 5 I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: 6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else.
Note that the passage capitalizes the "G" in God on verse 5. While there are many small "g" gods, there is only one capital "G" God. Because the idols are beneath Him, whether the god be called Baal or Zeus or Thor, since He is the the God, they don't even start to compare, making them ill fit to be standards of morality. (It's a favorite strategy by atheists to equate the Christian God to Zeus due to the fact they are both religious entities, but the similarities end there. The Christian God stands by Himself while Zeus and his pantheon merely resemble petty immortal humans with great powers, i.e. superheroes.)
Which brings us back to a slightly altered question:
"Is what is morally good (holy) commanded by God because it is morally good (holy), or is it morally good because it is commanded by God?"
Answer: "God is holy and morally good, holiness and good morality is the nature of God. God commands what His holy nature is to be, and what His holy nature determines what is commanded by Him".
