The Nephilim and Pyramid of Apocalypse

Page 10

by Patrick Heron


  Sekhmet (“Powerful One”) was a fierce goddess with the head of a lion. She was the daughter of Re (or Ra) and was consort to Ptah. She was used by Hathor in the destruction of mankind until Hathor was tricked into drinking beer which she thought was blood. This made her drunk and, as a result of this, Hathor ceased from her destruction. Sekhmet was a ferocious war goddess used by the vengeful sun god against the human race.

  Sometime during the Old Kingdom period, the first three pharaohs are said to have been conceived by a priest of Ra after intercourse with the god himself. Because of this, all the pharaohs believed themselves to be direct descendants of the gods; thus pharaoh means “son of Ra.”53

  In our study of the irruption of the Nephilim after the Flood, we pointed out that some of the offspring were known as Rephaim, after one Rapha. Could this Rapha, from the area of Canaan, be the same Ra who fathered the first three pharaohs? After all, these areas were but a couple of hundred miles from each other, making travel and access relatively simple. These descendants of Rapha (Hebrew: fearful ) and their close comrades the Anakims, the descendants of Anak (Hebrew: giant, long-necked), along with other descendants of the Nephilim, had populated the whole area of Canaan by the time Abraham and Sarah passed through there circa 1912 BC (or 436 years after the Flood). Remnants of these “giants” still remained in the land when David defeated Goliath circa 974 BC. So for the intervening 938 years we have evidence to show that these descendants of the Nephilim were in the general area of Canaan, which was close to, and a province of, Egypt at one time. It needs no stretch of the imagination to conclude that these beings were heavily involved therefore in the affairs of Egypt throughout this entire period.

  Rafah is a town about 20 miles south of present-day Gaza on the border between Israel and Egypt. Its ancient name was Rapha. It is likely that the Rapha after whom the original town was named was a post-Flood Nephilim or one of their descendants.

  Incidentally, Anak was the son of one Arba. In Hebrew, Arba means “strength of Baal.” Baal was the chief male deity of the Phoenicians and Canaanites and Ashtaroth was their chief female goddess. Baal in the Hebrew means “master, possessor” or “the lord who possesses.” This Anak was a Nephilim and his name suggests a direct link with Baal, which is another alias for Satan.

  Arba built a city which was called “Kirjath-Arba” or “city of Arba.” We are told that this city was built seven years before the building of Zoan in Egypt (Numbers 13:22), which was constructed by the first kings of the 19th dynasty. Rameses II made this his capital and Zoan was the scene of the Exodus and was noted for its wisdom.

  In the name Anak we find another link with the stars. For in the sign of Scorpio and in the constellation of Serpens the brightest star is called Anak, which means “encompassing.”54 In the Book of Numbers, 13:33, we are told that the spies sent in by Moses said “there we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, which come of the Nephilim.”

  It would appear that yet again, as with the Greek and Roman gods, we find this stellar thread associated with the Nephilim and their offspring in Egypt.

  It has also been established that the descending shafts in the Great Pyramid of Giza align with four distinct stars at certain times. The north shaft from the King’s Chamber aligns with Alpha Draconis while the south shaft from the King’s Chamber aligns with Zeta Orionis. The north shaft from the Queen’s Chamber aligns with Beta Ursa Minor and the south shaft from the same chamber aligns with Sirius.

  While no direct connection has yet been discovered for Beta Ursa Minor which can connect us with an Egyptian god, we have definite associations for the other three. Sirius is the celestial counterpart of the goddess Isis and is identified with her. Zeta Orionis is the brightest and lowest star in Orion’s belt and is associated with Osiris. The ancient Egyptians referred to Osiris as the high god of resurrection and rebirth in the remote epoch known as the “Zep-Tepi” or “First Time.” Osiris is spoken of in one coffin text thus: “Osiris, Lord of the Doubles . . . who threads his two lands, who navigates in front of the stars of the sky.” And pyramid text spell 882 states: “O king, thou art this great star, the companion of Orion.” Could Orion, the great hunter of Greek mythology, be Osiris, who reigned in Egypt a short distance away?

  So here we have two more of the primeval gods of prehistory, Osiris and Isis, associated with, and named after, prominent stars. But what of Alpha Draconis?

  Draco is the third constellation in the sign of Sagittarius and is in the northern sky. The brightest star in it is called Thuban, which means “the Subtle.” Draco means “the Dragon” and is depicted in the pictures of the planisphere of the heavens as a serpent. Draco was the pole star in 2170 BC. In many places in both the Old Testament scriptures and in the Apocalypse, the dragon is directly associated with Satan. So here in this so-called star shaft of the King’s Chamber we have a direct link with Draco, who is the dragon, who is the serpent or Satan, who is the devil, who is more subtle than any beast of the field. It is of him that we read in the Apocalypse:

  The great dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the devil and Satan which deceives the whole world: he was cast out into the Earth, and his angels with him.

  Book of Revelation 12:9

  This leaves us in no doubt as to who the dragon is. And now we have a major clue and connection between the Great Pyramid of Giza and the chief prince and ruler of the rebel band of fallen angels, Satan, and two of his earthly subordinates, Osiris and Isis.

  If we cast our minds back to the original fall of Lucifer, as recounted by the prophet Isaiah, we will recall that prideful ambition led to his fall from grace. But this passage reveals another interesting vignette:

  For thou hast said in thine heart: “I will ascend into heaven;

  I will exalt my throne above the stars (angels) of Yaweh; I

  will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides

  of the North.”

  Book of Isaiah 14:13

  Draco is in the northern sky and it would appear from this verse that the habitation of Yaweh and his congregation is also in the north.

  In verse 519 of the pyramid texts we find another celestial link between these primordial avatars, Isis and Osiris, and their offspring, Horus.

  “O Morning Star, Horus of the nether world, divine falcon.”

  Lucifer literally means “Morning Star,” here used as an appendage to one of the principal heroes of the gallery of gods stretching back to the first epoch of ancient Egypt. Horus plays a major role all through the history of the pharaohs and beyond and is clearly identified in engravings in many of the temples of Egypt. Often he is a large man, over twice the size of his captives, and often he is depicted holding a number of slaves or prisoners by the hair with one hand, his other arm raised with a weapon in readiness to slay his prey.

  Can there be any doubt that the Pyramids of Giza, known by the ancient Egyptians as the “gateway to the other world” and dating to the time of the primeval age, the “Zep-Tepi” or “First-Time” of the gods Horus, Isis and Osiris, were related directly to the activities of the Nephilim, the fallen ones, and to their offspring? In his fine book Heaven’s Mirror, Graham Hancock assures us that the Edfu Texts declare that the development of these sites should bring about “the resurrection of the former world of the gods.” He also informs us that the time of the “seven sages” was an era when divine beings settled along the banks of the Nile; these divine beings were known as the “builder-gods.” This primeval land was where the earliest mansions of the gods were founded, but this ancient domain was destroyed by a huge deluge and the majority of its divine inhabitants were drowned and their mansions were inundated.55

  By this stage it should be glaringly obvious to the reader that there is a clear and distinct connection between much of the extant evidence in the Egyptian texts and the Biblical records of the Flood of Noah and the activities of the Nephilim. But the connections become stronger and the picture becomes clearer still as the evid
ence continues to unfold.

  Another illustration of the obsession which the gods of Egypt had with the stars and their courses is found in the ceiling of the Temple of Hathor at Dendera (see Figure 11). Here we find not only the 12 signs of the Zodiac and their principal characters, but also depictions of the gods themselves apparently strolling among the constellations, including Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Sirius, the Dragon (Draco), and Orion are also clearly visible.

  Figure 11

  In endeavouring to determine the reasons for this obsession with the celestial bodies and also with a never-ending quest for immortality and eternal life (as evidenced by their various religious rituals and rites), it must be remembered that these spirit-men once owned these treasures. Before their rebellion and their free-will decision to vote with Lucifer and attempt to usurp the throne of Yaweh, these angels possessed both immortality and a heavenly abode among the stars. But their reward for believing in the lie of the serpent was to be ejected from the presence of Yaweh and cast down to Earth.

  Having once lived among the celestial bodies and having possessed immortality, they are now exiled in a distant land. But, like most exiles, they yearn for restoration to their original state and hanker for a return to their former homeland. Also, they now face the prospect of the ultimate sanction, as prophesied and promised by Yaweh when he said “He (the Messiah) will crush your head” (and, by extension, the heads of your associates) Genesis 3:15.

  So it is little wonder that, having backed the wrong horse and lost, these forces of evil should try everything in their power to kill the Messiah, thwart the plan of Yaweh and thereby avert their own doom and regain immortality. This is the reason why the Nephilim infiltrated the Earth in the first place and filled it with violence. The plan was to kill off all human life, thus ending the “line of the seed of the woman,” so that the Messiah could not be born. But Yaweh always seems to be one move ahead in this eternal chess game, and He maintained the line through Noah and his family.

  After the Flood, when it became known to the princes of darkness that Abraham would possess the promised land, and that the seed would continue through him, Satan again endeavoured to prevent this prophecy by flooding the entire area of Canaan with a second irruption of Nephilim so that Israel could not possess the land and the line would be broken once more. But, alas, his scheme failed yet again and, as ever, Yaweh’s prophecy was realised.

  And so the contest continues. Many times down through the ages Satan has interfered with Israel and the line of the seed of the woman in order to frustrate the prophecy and destroy the promise of a redeeming Messiah. When the Messiah was crucified and placed in a tomb, Satan and his host thought that they had finally won and averted their own demise. I am sure they had a big celebration that night. And perhaps that is why the Messiah, in his new risen spiritual body, went forth and appeared before those fallen angels who are kept in prison in Tartarus. This must count as one of the best party-poopers in history.

  But I digress. In the latter part of this book, the questions pertaining to the bigger picture of exactly what is going on, and why, will be answered in some detail. As a result, the reader will be better able to understand the reasons for this cosmic battle and where it is leading us and how it will all end. But, for now, back to the past.

  Blood sacrifices seemed to be an important part of the ritual in many of the temples and monuments of the gods of eras past. In the pyramids of the Maya in Mexico and elsewhere it would appear that the gods had an insatiable appetite for fresh blood.

  The Aztecs reputedly sacrificed up to 60,000 humans per year, often plunging knives into the victim’s chest and pulling the heart out while it was still beating in order to appease the gods.

  Munoz Camargo, a historian, described one such sacrifice: “One who had been a priest of the devil told me that when they tore the heart from the wretched victim, the strength with which it pulsated and quivered was so great that it used to lift three or four times from the ground before the heart grew cold.”56

  In the time of Abraham we know that many of the surrounding peoples practised human sacrifice. For when Yaweh told Abraham to take his son Isaac up to Mount Moriah, and offer him there as a sacrifice, one of the reasons why Abraham did not hesitate to do so was because he was very aware that human sacrifices were the norm in the areas surrounding him. This was the place where the Messiah was eventually sacrificed two thousand years later. And, as Abraham had been prevented from killing his son and a lamb was substituted for the sacrifice, on Calvary, the Messiah, the Lamb of God, was provided as the ultimate sacrifice for mankind.

  In Egypt, however, according to my erstwhile guide, human sacrifices had never been offered to the gods. I presume that the guide did not want anything to reflect badly on Egypt or its culture. But the pictures and engravings tell a different story. In the Valley of the Kings, for instance, there is a relief depicting a line of prisoners, many with their heads chopped off and blood spurting freely in all directions. In another relief, a captive kneels before one of the pharaohs. His hands are tied behind his back and the king, his arm aloft with weapon in hand, is poised to strike. Behind the captive, one of the gods looks on approvingly, a wry smile on his lips. When I quizzed my guide on the meaning of this relief, he replied that it was “symbolic.”

  Figure 12

  A section of the Narmer Palette, dating to circa 3200 BC, showing the pharaoh of the same name making a votive or gift offering to his “father”, the god Amun-Ra. The palette, which is decorated on both sides, was at one time displayed in the Temple of Horus at Nekhen (Cairo Museum).

  On the huge wall beside the entrance to the mighty temple at Edfu there is a relief of Horus with five Nubian captives in his left hand, his right arm held aloft ready to slay the poor wretches. Narmer, reputed to be the first of the kings of Egypt, lived in the pre-dynastic period of 3,000 BC or before. He is reputed to have been a “knocker of heads” (see Figure 12). In a much later period, probably circa 1200 or 1300 BC, we see another pharaoh receiving offerings from his subjects (see Figure 13). But we should look more closely at these two figures, separated by almost 2,000 years. The first, Narmer, is around the time of the gods of Greece and Rome, the era of the Titans, who were huge superhuman beings of great size and strength (hence the ship, Titanic). Some 2,000 years later, in the days of Rameses II, we had the “war of the land” between Joshua and the “giants” who inhabited the entire area of Canaan. If we look at the size of both Narmer and this second pharaoh, compared to the other men, we can see that they are at least twice as big. Look also at the size difference in Figure 14.

  Figures 13 Figures 14 Reliefs from Egypt showing the huge difference in size between these two pharaohs and their subjects.

  This is the case in scores of ancient Egyptian paintings and sculptures. Invariably, the gods or the pharaohs are huge compared to the ordinary people around them. This holds true for many of the pictures of ordinary scenes in religious rituals, or scenes of hunting or of war. Of course, it will be said that this was to indicate that the kings and gods were superior to the mere mortals depicted in the same scenes. Academics will scorn any idea that perhaps these gods and their offspring were actually at least twice the size of ordinary men. As in the case of Goliath, who was 13½ feet tall, and Og, the king of Bashan, whose bed was 18½ feet long and more than 9 feet wide (see Figure 5), these pictures, if taken at face value, also put Narmer and the second pharaoh at around the same height (i.e. 13 to 15 feet tall).

  Is it not improbable to suppose that these gods and rulers, who masterminded and built with immaculate detail the temples and pyramids of Egypt, were totally inaccurate in depicting their own size and height? No, for those with eyes to see it is obvious that, just as the Titans of old were great in stature and strength, so too their counterparts, the Nephilim of Egypt and their descendants,
were monsters and giants of men. This huge size advantage enabled them to enslave ordinary people and lord it over them so that the gods and kings were in complete control. This holds true at every site where these extraordinary temples and pyramids are found around the globe. If it were not so, and the Nephilim and their offspring were the same as ordinary mortals, then they would have been quickly defeated and eliminated and we would have no records or monuments testifying to their existence.

  Immense physical strength was obviously an attribute of these supermen. But they had more than just physical strength at their disposal in the construction of buildings, some of which contain huge stone blocks which were set in place at great heights. At one such site at Sacsayhuaman in the Andes, one stone is estimated to be 355 tons in weight and is situated at a height of 8½ metres.57 Consider also the 2.3 to 2.5 million blocks of the Great Pyramid and the cutting and placing of these to provide for the various chambers and passageways therein. The sheer scope and magnitude of this structure almost defies logic and today there is no way such a feat could be replicated. So how did the builders accomplish these mighty tasks and do so with such mathematical accuracy?

  This enigma we shall endeavour to answer now.

  The legends of Viracocha and the myths of the Andes tell of the white-skinned god and his compatriots, described as “the messengers, the shining ones,” who arrived in primordial times and were responsible for building the great temples by means of magic. Viracocha was said to have created giant men from the heavens to build the temples.58 But then he drowned them all and overran the world with water. (Sound familiar?) The Incas also believed that they were exiled from the world above and strove to return to their former abode.59 It is because of their spiritual connections that the gods of yore could accomplish such enormous physical feats. To demonstrate some of these strengths, we return to the Scriptures. First to a passage already cited concerning a man possessed with a “legion” of demons:
