THE HOLY SCRIPTURES
PROPHESY IS HISTORY, WRITTEN IN ADVANCE
the position of Daniel, was an impossible one.
The famous “statue-dream” of the Babylonian king Nebukadnezar Daniel interpreted in the most positive way. The conqueror of Jerusalem was an unpredictable and violent man and should be pleased. Otherwise a violent death was plausible. Failure in the service of Nebukadnezar meant death.
Daniel explained the “statue-dream” as follows. The golden head symbolised Babylon, the other parts represented the Medean-Persian Empire (the silver chest), Greece ( bronze hips), Rome (the iron legs0. The feet of the statue were composed of a mixture of iron and clay. This makes the statue weak and, hit by a rock, falls.
Of course this is a modern interpretation of Daniels profetic texts and in apocalyptic texts the European Union is often named as the toes of the statue. The fall of Nebukadnezar's dream-statue is about to happen. To believers this explanation underlines the fact, that we live in the End of Days. The time the statue falls.
I already mentioned the pressure and stress Daniel tried to handle during the confrontation with the Babylonian. I accept that Daniel's psychic powers could tap the thoughts of the King.
I think Daniel chose the flattering interpretation of the statue-dream. The real situation was, that Babylon was about to fall. Shortly after the death of the Babylonian ruler Babylon's empire crumbled and the city fell into the hands of Cyrus the Great, starting the silver phase of mankind.
But there is an interpretation Daniel even had direct knowledge of. He lived most of his life in Babylon and and part of the Imperial court. He must have seen, that the glory of Babylon was fading and that there was a lot of pressure on the borders.
Instead of tackling this problem, he stayed in his court in Babylon, to be entertained and confront his “staff” with ridiculous tasks. His successor went a step further and drank wine out of Temple-cups. God wrote his death-sentence personally on the wall. Babylon was in last, crumbling, phase. The rock, who brought the inheritance of this great king down, was the united forces of Cyrus the Great, who simply broke through the defenses and rode into Babylon, the Great, who surrendered without a fight.
The Persians and Medians took over. The new king Cyrus gave the Isrealites permission to return to Jerusalem and, after 70 years, start rebuilding the city, that suffered under the might of Nebukadnezar, king of Babylon.
THE HOLY SCRIPTURES
UFO'S IN THE BIBLE
The prophet Elia went up into heaven by a charriot-of-fire; never to be seen again, Enoch visited Heaven and circled around the world. He too, went with God to live eternal life.
Moses, who wrote the Torah, the first five books of the Old Testament. In it is the story of the Exodus, when the Isrealites left/fled Egypt. The Jews lived in the north-eastern part of theNile-delta, where they were building the city of Piramesse (Ramses, this does not automatically mean Ramses II, the Great, who ruled over 60 years; the list of Pharaohs mentions 8 rulers by that name.
The story is well-known. The Israelites (estimations 300.000 up to over a million; Egyptions joined the Exodus too; their land lay in ruins. Moses split the Red Sea. The fugitives passed and the charriot-army of the pharaoh drowned when the waters returned. For the Isrealites 40 years of wandering began. During this “trip”, God fed them with manna and guided them with a pillar of light at night and a pillow of smoke at day-time. Following this guidance, they arrived at Mount Sinai, where Moses received the 10 Commandments and the Isrealites accepted the Covenant with Jehovah.
Recent research indicates, that this interprettion may be completely wrong.
According to recent publications, the path of the Exodus did not lead through the Red Sea, but through the Persian Gulf. Mount Sinai is not in the Sinai-dessert, but in Saudi-Arabia. There arguments sound reasonable.
Like I said, the Jews lived in the North-Eastern part of the Nile-delta. The mass-migration along the Western banks of the Red Sea, would bring them into Egypt, not out of it. Going to the North, was blocked by the Filistines, who were much too strong. They introduced iron-swords in the area.
Remained the Eastern bank of the Red Sea, following an ancient trading-route to Arabia, a route that takes them to the Persian Gulf. Moses had travelled this road once before. But there is more. First we have to realise, that the desserts, we know, are a modern phenomenon. The land was lusher and greener and water was plenty. Also the sea-levels were lower. The Persian Gulf and the Red Sea were rivers, than seas.
God fed and guided the Israelites, by day and night. Some see the description in Exodus as depicting Ufo's and extra-terrestrial interference. But there is another interpretation: an active volcano. And yes, during the Exodus a volcano in Northern-Arabia was active, that could have fuctioned as a beaken, at day and by night.
Mount Sinai may be on the other side of the Persian Gulf in present day Saudi-Arabia. “Guerilla-archeology has delivered some evidence, but the government has closed the site and further excavations are forbidden.
The classic Mount Sinai and the traditional interpretation are still presented as the truth and taught at school.
Een andere kijk op Harlingen
OP ZOEK NAAR DE TEMPELIEREN-SCHAT
Het Wapen van Harlingen (2)
Trots bewaken 4 leeuwen de brug, die de sas overspant. Een waardige entree naar de binnenste ring, van de oude stad.
In hun klauwen een wapenschild. Een schild met vier kwartieren, 2 rood en 2 wit. Op de kwartieren twee verschillende symbolen: een 8-tal kruizen (2x 4)en twee maal drie “fleur de lis”. Volgens plaatselijke verhalen, volgen de leeuwen met hun ogen de passanten.
Een wapenschild wordt altijd zorgvuldig gekozen en verwijst naar de oorsprong en verworvenheden van een stad.
Harlingen was een stad. Met stadsrechten uit 1234. Het is echter onduidelijk, welke autoriteit de stadsrechten heeft verleend. De Duitse keizer of een van zijn vazallen? De Duitse adelaar ontbreekt echter (vgl. Arnhem en Deventer).
Dekleuren rood en wit hebben in de heraldiek een specifieke betekenis.
Rood staat voor moed, revolutie, kracht, bloed, eer en/of loyaliteit. Wit betekent onder andere georganiseerde religie, puurheid, onschuld en overgave.
Rood en Wit worden gebruikt door de Rooms-Katholieke Kerk en het zijn de kleuren van de Tempel-ridders. Op de witte kwartieren staan 2x4 kruizen. Deze verwijzen ook naar de RK-kerk. Maar er is meer. Dit zijn geen doorsnee kruizen, maar het symbool van, opnieuw de Tempelieren. Deze symbolen, die je ook op andere plaatsen aantreft, geven een byzondere relatie aan tussen de stad en de fameuze ridderorde.
Maar er is meer.
De Franse lelie (fleur de lis) is zes maal afgebeeld. Deze lelies versterken, volgens de heraldiek, de andere afgebeelde symbolen. In dit gevaal de Tempelieren-kruizen. Bijzonder, maar het wapenschild onthuld nog meer.
Voordat de “fleur de lis” meer decoratief werd gebruikt, was deze Franse lelie het belangrijkste motief van de Merovingers, de eerste Franse konings-dynastie, die werd opgevolgd door de Karolingers (begin 8e eeuw). Deze koningen hadden “helende handen” en ze worden in verband gebracht met de bloedlijn van Jezus. Ook zouden deze mysterieuze koningen in het bezit zijn geweest van de Heilige Graal, een beker, die door Jezus zou zijn gebruikt tijdens het “Laatste Avondmaal” en waarmee hij de wijn met zijn eigen bloed vergeleek.
Toeval, maar volgens “croniquers” uit die periode, maakte de Heilige Graal onderdeel uit van de fameuze Tempelierenschat!
Het stadswapen van Harns kent sterke verwijzingen naar de Tempelierenorde. Deze connectie blijkt ook uit de stadspatroon, de beschermengel: de Heilige Michael. Deze aarts-engel was een “warrior-angel”; die uiteindelijk het Kwaad, in de vorm van Satan, versloeg en naar een andere wereld hielp. Deze aartsengel werd door de ridder-monnikken vereerd en als voorbeeld gezien. Zijn strijd in de hemel, was hun strijd om de bevrijding van het Beloofde Land van het kwaad in de vorm van de volgelingen van Allah en zijn profeet.
Blijft de vraag, hoe en waarom de Tempelieren in Harlingen verschenen en zulke sporen hebben nagelaten.

IN SEARCH OF THE LOST TEMPLE TREASURE
Where did the Templars go after 1307
It is for sure, that Philip the Fair got rid of his debts with the Templars, but there was nothing much material gained. No treasure and the Templar-lands were given to other monastic orders by the Pope. His profit was hardly enough to cover the costs to emprison, trial and execute the 603 Knights, that were arrested (out of the 3000 Templars in France) in 1307. The same happened in England, but in other states, the Templars were not bothered. At is height there were about 50.000 knights. Between 5 – 10% were warrior-monks. After the defeat by Muslim-armies in 1128 and the fall of Acra, the links with the Holy Land were broken and the Poor Knights of Christ became the first multinational economic corporation, with special privileges given to the Order by the Holy Chair.
The Templars had a fleet, with experienced sailors, who transported among other things, pilgrims to and from the Holy Land. Judea was a dangerous place to travel, so the travellers were given a knightly escort to Jerusalem and probably lodging on the Temple Mount.
The main Templar harbour was La Rochelle in France.
At the day of ambush and arrest of the Templars in France, local tales, tell of 18 ships of the Order, left La Rochelle, never to be seen again. The local traditions state, that on the evening before, a number of horse-drawn carts arrived. The content was laden onto the Templar-ships. In it? The Templar Treasure, of course.
So far, we can conclude, that many Templar-knights escaped, even in France and England. The French king did not find any treasure. There is some evidence, that the Knights brought their possessions by ship, out of La Rochelle. Where did they possibly go. They could not stay in France or go to England, because they, and their treasure, were not safe.
First candidate is Switserland. In the years after the Templar downfall, the Swiss rebelled against their Austrian overlords, successfully. Here we find stories, that the Swiss were helped by about a 100 heavyly armoured knights, who suddenly. After establishing their authority and regional claims, the Swiss became praised soldiers and mercenaries. Even now, the Pope's safety and security is in the hands of the famous Swiss guards. A second argument is the Swiss famous bankingsystem. The foundations there-of could be laid by the “Templar Bankers”.
Second candidate as the hide-out for the fugitive knights and place of the hidden treasure, is Scotland. It is historical fact, that the Scottish king sympathised with the Order. Scotland just recently regained their independence and were willing to fight for it. In Scotland too, that local stories describe the decisive support Robert de Bruce, the Scottish King, had on the battlefield; help from mysterious knights. Researchers point to Rosslyn-chapel, as the place were the Templar treasure is hidden. The chapel is decorated with, a.o. Templar and pagan symbols. There is a “crypt” with Templar graves and an underground chamber is detected with ground-penetrating radar. Authorities have prevented further action.
