THE BEAST OUT OF THE SEAAnd I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat and great authority. Rev.13:1,2
And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse from one another. The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it. And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. . . Dan.7:3-6
The interpretation of the hybrid "beast" of Revelation 13:1,2 is based on Daniel 7:3-6. As the beasts of Daniel 2 were world empires, a reasonable exposition of Daniel 7 and Revelation 13 exposes the final beast system as comprised of movements in the last days which successively attempt to achieve world domination. The symbolism given in Scripture precisely applies to the great movements of our own day -- Anglo-American imperialism, communism and fascism.
The Royal Arms of England displays the Rampant Lion, "made to stand upon the feet as a man" and the Unicorn, symbolizing the union of England and Scotland respectively. The Eagle whose wings were plucked in Daniel 7:4 is a reference to the United States, which was and is the vehicle through which the English Freemasons plan to establish a Novus Ordo Seclorum. The symbol of Communist Russia is the Bear which "devoured much flesh" under Stalin and Nazi Germany was known for its Panzer [Panther or Leopard] divisions in World War II. According to Daniel 7:23, the fourth and final beast system "shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces."
Fascism has historically used false shepherds to gain access to the Lord's flock and to clothe their infernal schemes with the respectable covering of Christianity. Prior to Hitler's election as Chancellor of Germany, many Protestant ministers were impressed with his conservative rhetoric and encouraged German Christians to support National Socialism. In The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, William Shirer included a chapter which described the exploitation of the Church through Hitler's masterful manipulation of Christian ministers. An account of one influential minister is typical of others who failed to recognize early on that Hitler used Christian terminology only to enlist the Protestant leadership in his service.
"The Reverend Martin Niemoller had personally welcomed the coming to power of the Nazis in 1933. In that year his autobiography, From U-Boat to Pulpit, had been published. The story of how this submarine commander in the First World War had become a prominent Protestant pastor was singled out for special praise in the Nazi press and became a best seller. To Pastor Niemoller, as to many a Protestant clergyman, the fourteen years of the Republic had been, as he said, 'years of darkness' and at the close of his autobiography he added a note of satisfaction that Nazi revolution had finally triumphed and that it had brought about the 'national revival' for which he himself had fought so long -- for a time in the free corps, from which so many Nazi leaders had come. He was soon to experience a terrible disillusionment...
"By the beginning of 1934, the disillusioned Pastor Niemoller had become the guiding spirit of the minority resistance in both the 'Confessional Church' and the Pastors' Emergency League...On the first of July, 1937, Dr. Niemoller was arrested and confined to Moabit prison in Berlin. On June 27 he had preached to the congregation, which always overflowed his church at Dahlem, what was to be his last sermon in the Third Reich. As if he had a foreboding of what was to come he said, 'We have no more thought of using our own powers to escape the arm of the authorities than had the Apostles of old. No more are we ready to keep silent at man's behest when God commands us to speak. For it is, and must remain, the case that we must obey God rather than man.'
"After eight months in prison he was tried on March 2, 1938, before a Sondergericht, one of the 'Special Courts' set up by the Nazis to try offenders against the State, and though acquitted of the main charge of 'underhand attacks against the State' was fined two thousand marks and sentenced to seven months' imprisonment for 'abuse of the pulpit' and holding collections in his church. Since he had served more than this time, the court ordered his release, but he was seized by the Gestapo as he was leaving the courtroom, placed in 'protective custody' and confined in concentration camps, first at Sacchsenhausen and then at Dauchau, where he remained for seven years until liberated by Allied troops." 116.
Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots?
then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.
-- Jer. 13:23
Cecil Rhodes derived his concept of the "round table" from the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, which is based on the gnostic myth of the Holy Grail. [See: The Rosicrucian Connection] In particular, Rhodes was inspired by Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem "Morte d'Arthur" which is a narrative of King Arthur's death:
I perish by this people which I made, -
Tho' Merlin sware that I should come again
To rule once more - but let what will be, be,
I am so deeply smitten thro' the helm
That without help I cannot last till morn. . .
Then loudly cried the bold Sir Bedivere,
"Ah! my Lord Arthur, whither shall I go?
Where shall I hide my forehead and my eyes?
For now I see the true old times are dead,
When every morning brought a noble chance,
And every chance brought out a noble knight.
Such times have been not since the light that led
The holy Elders with the gift of myrrh.
But now the whole Round Table is dissolved
Which was an image of the mighty world. . ."
And slowly answer'd Arthur from the barge:
"The old order changeth, yielding place to new,
And God fulfils Himself in many ways. . .
But now farewell. I am going a long way . . .
Where I will heal me of my grievous wound."
Alfred Lord Tennyson [1809-92] was a contemporary of Cecil Rhodes and a member of the Society for Psychical Research, the "Spiritualist church for intellectuals" founded by the Cecil Bloc. Tennyson's reference to the healing of Arthur's mortal wound is a symbolic prophecy of a future revival of the gnostic Grail cult which was subdued by the Roman Church. It is not unreasonable to assume that demonic entities from the spirit realm with whom Tennyson communicated inspired his writings which in turn influenced Cecil Rhodes socio-political aspirations.
King Arthur's dying words explain why the Scottish Stewart Crest displays a Phoenix with the motto "Courage gains strength from a wound." The Stewart Clan is believed to be a "sacred family" of the Merovingian bloodline, who were the kings of France from 448 A.D. until they were replaced in 800 A.D. by Charlemagne, whom the Roman Church appointed as Holy Roman Emperor. The Merovingians present imposture as rightful rulers of Europe through the Davidic lineage of Jesus Christ will position them to rule the world from the throne of Jerusalem.
The legendary Round Table of King Arthur, which was guided by the prophet and magician, Merlin, until its tragic dissolution through dissension and scandal, will be recreated in the New Age by the Merovingian dynasty. The Merovingians derive their name from the 5th century King Merovee of France, a descendant of the mystical Fisher-Kings, who was reportedly sired by a beast from the sea:
". . . the mysterious sea beast -- the Bistea Neptunis -- as symbolically defined in the Merovingian ancestry. The relevant sea-lord was King Pallas, a god of old Arcadia. . .The immortal sea-lord was said to be 'ever-incarnate in a dynasty of ancient kings' whose symbol was a fish -- as was the traditional symbol of Jesus." 117.
Is the "Bistea Neptunis" the mysterious "beast of the sea" with seven heads having the name of blasphemy of Revelation 13:1-2? This beast, a composite of the leopard, the bear and the lion, will experience the healing of one of its heads which had suffered a deadly wound.
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed; and all the world wondered after the beast. Rev.13:1-3
The "name of blasphemy" in verse 3 refers to the varieties of "Sacred Names" the British-Israel/Messianic Movement prefers to the name of the LORD. The latter is misrepresented as the pagan name for Baal and the name of Jesus [Gr. "Iesous"] as "Zeus". The ultimate objective is to replace the true names of God with the Tetragrammaton ["YHWH"] and "G-d", which are considered too sacred to pronounce, and "Yahweh" which has no basis in Hebrew Scripture. Messianic believers generally fail to realize that paying homage to the Tetragrammaton as the "ineffable name" is a denial that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh.
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of anti-christ, whereof ye have heard that is should come; and even now already is it in the world. I John 4:3
Revelation 13:17 is a reference to this name of blasphemy forcibly branded on those who give their allegiance to the beast: "And that no man might buy or sell, save that he had the mark, of the name of the beast, or the number of his name."
In Locksley Hall, Tennyson anticipated the "Federation of the World" as the kingdom of God on earth and closed the revelation of his vision with a reference to the governance of mankind under "universal law" i.e., The Noahide Laws:
For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see,
Saw the Vision of the World, and all the wonder that would be;
Saw the heavens fill with commerce, argosies of magic sails,
Pilots of the purple twilight, dropping down with costly bales;
Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there rain'd a ghastly dew
From the nations' airy navies grappling in the central blue;
Far along the world-wide whisper of the south-wind rushing warm,
With the standards of the peoples plunging thro' the thunder-storm;
Till the war-drum throbb'd no longer, and the battle flags were furl'd
In the Parliament of Man, the Federation of the World.
There the common sense of most shall hold a fretful realm in awe,
And the kindly earth shall slumber, lapt in universal law.
King Arthur was himself an archetypal guardian of the Grail which is said to be in Glastonbury, confirming the mindset of New Agers that England will be the center for world transformation:
"Following the death of Jesus, Mary went to England with Joseph of Arimethea. This established the vortex for Camelot, destined to come forth later in the fifth and sixth centuries. The Grail was placed in Glastonbury for safekeeping at that time. It will be through the Grail in England that the energies of transformation and ascension will be channeled, which eventually will bring the Earth into the Seventh Golden Age." 118.
Ed McAteer's Religious Roundtable, which was extended to include secular globalist organizations in the 500+ member Council for National Policy, is a modern version of the Round Tables of King Arthur and Cecil Rhodes. To camouflage the real origins of the "round table" in Arthurian lore, the latest amalgamation of pseudo-Christian organizations by that name wrests the Word of God to conceal its pagan origin:
"The Great Commission Global Roundtable resulted after joint meetings of the World Evangelical Fellowship (WEF), the Lausanne Movement for World Evangelization (LCWE), and the AD2000 and Beyond Movement (AD2000) in August in Dallas and earlier in Norway. . . picked the name, Great Commission Global Roundtable, to emphasize obedience to Christ's mandate to evangelize all peoples while listening to God and one another 'around the table' of the Lord. . ." 119.
The Scriptural appeal to gather around the "table of the Lord" hardly applies to this ecumenical venture which is sure to advance the extension of the British kingdom rather than the kingdom of God. A New Age book, Messiah and the Second Coming, also uses this lame interpretation of Scripture to promote the future global Round Table:
"King Arthur founded the Round Table, which legend dramatically declared was symbolically the same table present at the Last Supper. . .The future world Round Table is being created now in the etheric realms. The symbolic golden round table of King Arthur will eventually manifest on earth where varieties of leaders, political, scientific, spiritual, from all nations of the world, will dedicate their lives to international objectives for the benefit of all, above nationalism, above religionism, above personality, for the benefit of all peoples. The spiritual unity of nations a true sister/brotherhood of humanity encompassing universal principles of unconditional love and sharing, is coming to bloom." 120.
In the final analysis, the Council for National Policy, as an extension of the Religious Roundtable, is a joint venture of pseudo-Christian ministries, cults, secret societies, subversive organizations and corporate enterprise working together to exploit Christians to advance their anti-Christian agenda -- Anglo-American imperialism and ultimately one world government under a one world religion -- their own.
Revolutionaries have historically worked through religion, right-sounding causes and popular movements which recommend their utopian schemes as "the kingdom of God" on earth. They have never secured the ideal governments they promised, but have succeeded in drawing worldly-minded Christians off the Narrow Way. Although it would never occur to most of them, and in spite of their loud protests against the New World Order, the Moral Majority are now laboring to advance a world dictatorship by the international money power and their secret societies.
To put Christians in possession of solid facts concerning the connections of high-ranking CNP members with every manner of occult, subversive and criminal element of society, we have compiled an extensive albeit incomplete database of prominent past and present CNP officers. For diehard researchers who wish to further investigate the backgrounds of the Christian Right leadership, we recommend the GroupWatch files at the Public Information Research Database.
