This Blog isn’t Dead

I won’t be making be making any new posts on it for the foreseeable future since I’m out of completely new ideas, and really have been for awhile.

But I’ll still be notified of any new comments left and still try to respond to them.  I may continue editing/updating some old posts as well.

If I do wind up making a new post because a burst of inspiration came to me.  That doesn’t likely mean I’ll be returning to making new posts regularly.

My Sola Scriptura Christian Liberty blog, and A Chronological View of Revelation, I’ll continue trying to add to at least once a month.  And my main JaredMithrandir-Olorin blog I'll likely be updating at least weekly.

The Widow's Son

This YouTube video talks a lot about the Widow's Son concept in Freemasonry, philosophically and mystically, showing how Gnostic the Masonic Lore can be.
Mystery of the Widow's Son - The Legend of the Craft

But I want to talk a little bit about the potential Biblical significance of this phrase.

What does it mean to call someone a Widow's Son?  Just that the mother was a Widow at the time the statement is made or refers to?  Statistically most women outlive their husbands (Miriam died less then a year before Moses even though she was older then him by enough to supervise his basket's journey down the Nile), so there is no shortage of mothers who have been Widows at some point in their life.  Or does it mean she was one by the time the son was born?  Is the implied dead husband the father or someone else?

Because Joseph doesn't seem to be present in The Gospel narrative after the jump from Jesus being 12 to "about 30", many speculate he must have died by then.  Yet The Bible never explicitly tells us that, and never calls Mary a Widow or Jesus the Son of a Widow.

The Widow's Son of Freemasonry is ostensibly supposed to be Hiram the architect of Solomon's Temple (not to be confused with Hiram king of Tyre, called Hirom in my English translation of Josephus quotation of Meander, who recommended this Hiram for that job).

This Hiram, sometimes called Huram in translations, is the subject of an alleged Bible contradiction.  A number of alleged contradictions come from Kings and Chronicles accounts of the same history describing things differently.  In this case, Hiram's mother is called both a Widow of Naphtali (in 1 Kings 7:14) and a Daughter of Dan (in II Chronicles 2:14).  The answer here is simple in my view, she was a Danite by birth, married a man of Naphtali, he died (I suspect they had heirs since there wasn't a Leverite marriage), then she entered a relationship with a man of Tyre (this man of Tyre is never refereed to as her husband) and by him had Hiram/Huram.

The Masonic story of Hiram interests me in how it demonstrates how determined Satan is to contradict The Bible.  The Bible says so little about Hiram (What little it says is all in 1 Kings 7 and II Chronicles 2-4.), that it would be easy I feel to write a fictional elaboration on the character without contradicting what little The Bible says, I could write multiple scripts that go in different directions and still each one would not contradict what little The Bible says.

So that the Masonic narrative makes a pretty big blunder I feel must have been on purpose, the people who wrote these rituals were clearly educated men of their time, I do not doubt that they did what research was available to them.

1 Kings 7:40 clearly says Hiram did finish all the work Solomon gave him.  The II Chronicles account does not disagree with that.  But the Masonic narrative says he died while a key stone had still not been put in place.  And this stone becomes known as "The Stone that the Builders rejected" which is a phrase taken from Psalm 118 that The New Testament uses as a Title of Christ.

Josephus in Against Apion Book 1 chapters 17 and 18 quotes two Phoenician Historians, Dius and Meander.  Both refer to a person of Tyre who solved problems with Solomon (as Hiram is also described as doing) though there is no clear reference to this person being an Architect.  Dius names this person Abdemon, in Meander he's unnamed but called a younger son of Abdemon.  It could be this was the name of his father, or another name he went by, sometimes people in antiquity were called by the name of their father.  I can't help but suspect this name is partly where the Abiff surname for the Masonic Hiram comes from.

Another Biblical figure who could be called a Widow's Son was also a contemporary of Solomon.  Jeroboam son of Nebat.  1 Kings 11:26 says his mother's name was Zeruah and that she was a Widow.  And another thing these two widow's sons have in common is a connection to Dan, since Jeroboam built one of his two Calfs at Dan.  Is it possible that the Masons want to claim descent from Solomon's Temple when they really come from Jeroboam's Temples?  Masonry does heavily promote British Israelism, particularly the Orange Lodge.

Another Widow's Son of The Bible would be the Son of the Widow of Zarephath who Elijah rose from The Dead.  There is an obscure passage in The Talmud that suggests this Widow's son is Messiah Ben-Joseph, interestingly Jeroboam is also someone a wanna be Messiah Ben-Joseph might seek to identify himself with.

Acts 1 quotes a verse of Psalm 109 in reference to Judas Iscariot, that leads to speculation if all of Psalm 109 could be applied to Judas.  Verse 9 says "Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.".  So if Judas had a wife and children (which some passages are taken as implying all the Disciples did), any son would be a Widow's Son.

Evidence that Thermusa was a daughter of Cleopatra and Julius Caesar

I'm unsure how much this fits here, I want to do a post on it, but am not comfortable doing it on any of my other Blogs.  But it's something I may need to reference for a future project.  All of these observations, and the main conclusion, which others have made before me.

In May 44 BC Cicero wrote to a friend indicating that Cleopatra (then in Rome) was pregnant with Caesar's child:

"I am grieved to hear of Tertia's loss of an expected child...(but) I should be glad of such a loss in the case of the queen (Cleopatra) and that [expected] scion of the breed of Caesar.​" [Cicero, ad Atticum, 14:20:2, 14:20:2, 15:1:5, 15:4:4]

There is also a coin of Cleopatra's which shows her suckling a child, usually interpreted to be Caesarion, and marked 'Kupr' (Cyprus).  Cleopatra only acquired control of Cyprus in 43 BC, when time Caesarion who was born in 47 BC would be too old to be a suckling infant.

[Update April 4th 2024: The only part of this post I still agree with is Cleopatra having an addition child with Julius Caesar and only her being d daughter explains escaping further mention.  But I no longer thikn Augustus would have given such a valuable marriage to the Parthians.  Thermusa was killed when she was because her people viewed her a low born.

Also much of this post was copy/pasting information from elsewhere I no longer remember the source of.  So I'm Sorry about that.]

I've changed my mind, I now do believe in Shape Shifting Reptilians.

David Icke was right all along, I never should have doubted him.

The Draconian are real, but thankfully Trump is the first United States President who isn't one of them.  Instead he's a Shape Shifting  Citrus, which is why he's building a Wall to protect Americans form Scurvy.

But it's not just the Royals and the Bankers, shape shifting Reptilians are everywhere, they could be your neighbor or your babysitter and you'd never know it.

You see the evidence that tipped the scale and finally opened my eyes was a Japanese Documentary TV series I've been watching, about a Shape Shifting Draconian who's also a Maid, and a Lesbian.  It's called Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid-Dragon.

This documentary also revealed that the Aztec feathered serpent god Quetzalcoatl is a real, but it turns out he is a she, and in her human form she makes Powergirl look like Konata.

So keep an eye out for people who could be Shape Shifting Reptilians.  And remember this Warning I gave you on this day, the first day of the month of April............

The Mandeans, Gnosticism, Mary and Jesus

The Mandeans are considered a form of Gnosticism.  But they also claim to be the sect John The Baptist lead.

Unlike many well known Gnostics, they did not revere Jesus.

Core Mandean texts do not seem to mention Jesus by name, which is why some question whether or not Jesus is who is meant in these passages, some want to say it's Paul.

"MIRYAI am I, of the Kings of Babel a daughter, a daughter of Jerusalem's mighty rulers. They have given me birth; the priests brought me up. In the fold of their robe they carried me up into the dark house, into the temple. Adonai laid a charge on my hands and on my two arms: I must scour and cleanse the house [that is] without firmness. There is naught therein for supporting the poor, naught to revive the tormented souls."—Ancient Scroll of Miryai

"She ran away from the priests, fell in love with a man, and they took hold of each other’s hands. Hold of each other’s hands they took, went forth and settled at the mouth of Frash."—Ancient Scroll of Miryai

"We will slay them and make Miryai scorned in Jerusalem. A stake (Cross) will we set up for the man who has ruined Miryai and led her away. There shall be no day in the world when a stranger enters Jerusalem."—Sidra d’Yahya, Book of John the Baptist from Mandaic Doctrines of Kings.

And below comes from the Haran Gawaita.

"... and Haran Gawaita receiveth him and that city in which there were Nasoraeans, because there was no road for the Jewish rulers. Over them was King Ardban. And sixty thousand Nasoraeans abandoned the Sign of the Seven and entered the Median hills, a place where we were free from domination by all other races. And they built cult-huts (bimandia) and abode in the Call of the Life and in the strength of the high King of Light until they came to their end. And they loved the Lord, that is, Adonai, until in the House of Israel there was created something which was not placed in the womb of Mary, a daughter of Moses. It was hidden in her womb for nine months and bewitched her until the nine months were fulfilled and she was in labour and brought forth a messiah."

".. and he called the people to himself and spoke of his death and took away some of mysteries of the (Sacred?) Meal and abstained from the Food. And he took to himself a people and was called by the name of the False Messiah. And he perverted them all and made them like himself who perverted words of life and changed them into darkness and even perverted those accounted Mine. And he overturned all the rites. And he and his brother dwell on Mount Sinai, and he joineth all races to him, and perverteth and joineth to himself a people, and they are called Christians."  "... and from Nisrat, a city of the Jews, which is called the city of Qum ..."—Haran Gawaita.

I have mostly copied these from a Website wanting to say they refer to Paul not Jesus.  It simply doesn't work though.  This villain is specifically depicted as being Hung on a Stake or Crucified.  And he has a Brother who was also a leader of his sect, that fits James, but Paul is not known to have had any siblings.

The main thing that takes people by surprise is the Maria of this narrative being his lover rather then Mother.  Well I suspect that The Virgin Mary is not who was meant, but that it's an early example of people wanting to depict Mary Magdalene or Mary of Bethany as a lover of Jesus.

Why am I making a blog post on this?  I don't know, I just find it interesting.  I'm certainly not endorsing what the Mandeans believe.  As the only Ancient Gnostic sect to have survived to the modern day, they are an interesting anomaly.

They also depict The Holy Spirit (which is called Ruha d-Qudsha) as evil.

Freemasonry and British Espionage

I am still a conspiracy theorist.  But I've grown to view the fixation on the Bavarian Illuminati as a bit of a distraction.  They are relevant, but I think the greater narrative is less that they took over Freemasonry and more that older agendas within Freemasonry hijacked their methods.  I've alluded to much of this before in Illuminati Vs Esoteric Freemasonry.

The source of the Conspiracy I believe in is British Freemasonry, and related institutions of the British Occult.  I find it suspicions that England's Monarchy was the only one never toppled by the Masonic influenced Revolutions of the late 18th and 19th Centuries.  Given how Organized Freemasonry began in Britain and then spread to other regions from there.  A fact I make a point of talking about in England and Egypt.

1717 is the year the Premier Grand Lodge of England was founded.  The same year George I became King establishing the House of Hanover.  In the party system of England at that time the Whig Party was the party that was most allied with King George himself.  It's interesting then how many notable Freemasons of this period, including Grand Masters, were Whigs.  Philip Wharton was the most notable exception, he was an Early Grand Master, but was a Jacobite rather then a Whig.  He also founded the original Hellfire Club, which has no provable connection to the later more famous one.

Sir Robert Walpole was a Freemason, in fact it seems the Masons sometimes met in his residence.

http://www.freemasonrytoday.com/ugle-sgc/ugle/tag/Robert%20Walpole

He was a very important figure in the Whig party.  He is considered both the first Prime Minister, and still the longest serving one, his ambitions pretty much created the office and made it rather then the King the real Head of Government.  His rise to power is also tied to The South Sea Bubble.

Many notable Freemasons of of the 18th Century, including Grand Masters, were members of the Royal Society first. Isaac Newton was in charge of the Royal Society from the beginning of the Century until his death in 1727.  Newton is not known to have been a Freemason himself, but John Theophilus Desaguliers was a important early Grand Master and was also a student of Isaac Newton.  Newton was involved in Alchemy and Rosicrucianism, which goes back to Sir Francis Bacon and his mentor John Dee.  And among his occult studies was a fixation on studying the architecture of Solomon's Temple, an important theme of Freemasonry.

At the same time he ran the Royal Society he was also in charge of the Royal Mint.  Newton is really the one who invented the Gold Standard.   Contrary to what many Libertarians think Silver far more often then Gold was the standard unit of common currency for most of Human History.  Just studying financial transactions in The Bible will show that Gold was used mostly in really large transactions.

All these connections of Newton are probably why the authors of the Priory of Sion hoax made him one of it's Grand Masters.  It's a Hoax I know full well is a Hoax but I can't help but be curious about the logic that went behind who they chose to make Grand Masters.  At first it makes sense, people in positions to possibly care about an alternative claim to the French Throne, (besides two random Italians).  But from 1595-1745 they are all Englishmen, most of them part of England's occult history.  Then two members of the House of Lorraine, then Frenchmen who weren't Monarchists at all.

Much has been written about how Espionage used to often be carried out via Occult Secret Society Circles back before they had official Government Agencies like the CIA or MI6.  Francis Walsingham spymaster of Queen Elizabeth is often credited with inventing modern espionage.  There is reason to suspect John Dee served as a spy under him, and also Francis Bacon.

It is possible that within these circles there would also develop different factions driven by the different political factions England was divided into.  Support for the new post Stuart monarchs allied with the Whigs or Tories, and Jacobites supporting the Stuarts who were often Catholic.  But perhaps also Anti-Monarchists descended from various factions of the failed English Revolution.  Like those I talked about on my other Blog about Libertarian-Communism.

The early development of organized Freemasonry in France and Italy can both be traced to English Freemasonry.  Dilon claimed that Voltaire was initiated into a Lodge in England while he was there in his early life, but there is no real independent evidence to confirm that claim.  The Count of Saint-Germain also first popped up in England.  And Cagliostro founded his Memphis-Misraim lodge in England in 1776, then spread it all over the continent.

 Sir Francis Dashwood who founded the famous Hellfire Club has no known connection to the original Hellfire Club.  But like it's founder he was an enemy politically of Walpole.  And while not openly a Jacobite there is reason to suspect he might have been one secretly.  Also I know of no evidence he was a Freemason but he was a member of the Royal Society.

Benjamin Franklin makes at least one known overlap between the Hellfire Club and the Nine Sisters Lodge, a Lodge in France devoted to gaining French support for the American Revolution.  And I've discussed on this blog before reasons to suspect a Jacobite connection to the American Revolution.

Nicolas Bonneville wrote books on Freemasonry while being involved in Freemasonry in England before returning to France to be a vital figure in the French Revolution.  It seems he was friends with John Oswald, I don't know if he can be proven to have been a Mason.

Erasmus Darwin was a documented member of English Freemasonry, as was his brother and son.  He was the Grandfather of Charles Darwin and Francis Galton, and actually anticipated their Pseudo-Scientific theories in his own writings.

In 1795-98 The Orange Lodge and Orange Order were founded, which could be viewed as the Anglican Church's counterpart to the Jesuits. It has been strongly politically involved in opposing both Irish and Scottish independence.  And they encourage belief in British Israelism.

In the 19th Century it starts becoming common for the Grand Master to be a member of the Royal Family.  The father of Queen Victoria was a Grand Master and very involved in reorganizing Masonry at the time.  Later her son and Crown Prince would be Grand Master until he took the Throne and then the Grand Mastership was taken by his brother.  The Grand Masters during World War II were a brother and brother in-law of the then reigning King.  The current Grand Master is the heir of one of the WWII Grand Masters.

The movie From Hell is based on a Comic Book based on a real theory about Jack The Ripper and his murders being tied to Freemasonry and the Royal Family.  Not sure if I think that theory is the correct one, but it's interesting.

Giuseppe Mazzini who was an important figure in both Italian Freemasonry and the Carbonari before creating his own Secret Societies (starting with Young Italy and Young Europa), was harbored in England and closely tied to Lord Palmerston, who had been Prime Minister, and had a complicated relationship with Napoleon III.  Palmerston has been a focus of many conspiracy theory themed books.  At the moment I do not know if it can be confirmed that he was a Freemason.  But I know he wasn't the official Grand Master as Dilon made it sound.

Aleister Crowley was an Englishman.  There is no proof he was a Mason like many claim.  But the Secret Societies he was involved with before creating his own were ones founded by 19th Century English Freemasons, chiefly the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
