INTRODUCTION
“For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountain of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.”
Robert Jastrow
The Enchanted Loom: Mind in the Universe
It has been well understood for centuries that the universe and its agents have been the product of an author, a Creator, God. But as the Enlightenment period persisted in the wake of the American Independence, academic institutions began to exclusively champion reason and logic, ignoring the metaphysical in an attempt to explain the universe within the boundaries of natural law. It’s quite evident that the result of such scientific progress yielded unprecedented developments in technology, impacting civilization profoundly through the Industrial Revolution. Ironically, it has been through these means of trying to understand and manipulate natural law, that metaphysics has made its uncanny return in the 21st century. And now, equipped with the next wave of technological developments, the implications are Biblical in proportion.
For centuries, transportation and communication methodologies were limited to riding on the backs of animals, using our own two feet, or by boat if one desired to traverse beyond the great deep. Communication was largely done by word of mouth, or by written materials that needed transporting via these same lethargic means. But the 20th century changed everything. Automobiles, trains, and planes made transportation faster and more efficient. And while communication by electrical and electronic means began in the 19th century, it wasn’t until the 20th century that the telephone, television, and radio become household norms. This dramatic phase of modernization in the 20th century is considered by many to be the third phase of the Industrial Revolution.[1]
As we charge towards what is being called the “Fourth Industrial Revolution,” we are faced with even more radical changes to the infrastructure of civilization. Integration of synthetic biology, nanotechnology, quantum sciences, particle physics, deep space exploration, deep sea exploration, Artificial Intelligence, clean energy, virtual/digital realities, advanced information technology, and many other subjects of inquiry have already begun its dissemination into society. Through the revolution, we are being promised a golden age with transportation going celestial, and communication going quantum.[2] Indeed, natural law has found the boundaries of reality, knocking on the doors of dimensions that theologians have said exists for centuries. In the process, promises of the mystical religions and occult mythos of a golden era of mankind are finally attainable through the modern sciences. But are these occult promises something good for mankind? Or is it the very climate by which many strange prophetic passages from the Bible becomes a reality?
Before we continue, it is important to remind once again that these actions of men (our fellow human brethren) are dealings with the deceptions of a common spiritual enemy.
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
Ephesians 6:12
Thus, the blame isn’t on the particular person, their groups, or their actions. But we can point to the spiritual atmosphere and conditions that could give rise to these developments. The true solution that brings resolution to all such matters is by the work on the cross by Jesus Christ. If any of these individual men gave their life to our Lord and Savior, their soul is saved. And while we can speculate whether they did, or didn’t, such matters are unto God. Our job is to simply point out the workings of the enemy through the deception befallen upon humanity under the premise that God is in complete control, and that Jesus Christ is the answer.
THE NEW AGE OF THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
If history has any bearing on how these radical implementations of the new world will be deployed, then it will be without a doubt, conspired and controlled by dark spiritual intelligences. In the advent of the first phase of the Industrial Revolution, industry and manufacturing of goods and services changed radically. This meant new forms of commerce and financial systems. It was during this era, that the Rothschild family infamously conspired to take over the British government by manipulating its markets.[3] The beginning of global banking and credit-based economies were thus forged. And with control of the economy, came control of the building of its transportation and communication infrastructure. This is precisely how oil became the commodity it is today. It is a well-known conspiracy theory that the oil industry has, since its inception, suppressed more efficient, clean, and free forms of energy for transportation technologies. Such possibilities are strong when one looks into the manipulation that was done when deconstructing railroads in America in conjunction with the boom of the automobile industry.[4]
That is the key to history. Terrific energy is expended – civilizations are built up – excellent institutions devised; but each time something goes wrong. Some fatal flaw always brings the selfish and the cruel people to the top and it all slides back into misery and ruin.
C.S. Lewis[5]
As Lewis notes here, man centered civilizations have always been in flux. But this next wave of “expended energy” in the fourth Industrial Revolution will come with the help of radically increasing levels of computational power. The precursors of the revolution are already at play. It’s impossible to cover all the nuances and rabbit trails on the subject here, but it’s worth mentioning just a couple of examples.
First, is Tesla Motors. It is no mere coincidence that the modern progressive transportation company, bears the name of a man who not only allegedly discovered ways to tap into free energy over 100 years ago, but had run ins with the banking elite before his work was mysterious confiscated upon his death. The face and CEO of this modern corporate entity, billionaire Elon Musk, has been the golden child of innovation for the public. For those who are paying attention, it is clear that what Musk peddles as his goals and aspirations reflect deeply on the sentiments of the occultists who long for the return of the Golden Era.
“We want to open up space for humanity, and in order to do that, space must be affordable.”
“If humanity is to become multi-planetary, the fundamental breakthrough that needs to occur in rocketry is a rapidly and completely reusable rocket.”
Elon Musk[6]
The “innovations” being pushed by Musk in the realm of rocketry opens up direct connections to the occult. Jack Parsons, co-founder of the Jet Propulsion Laboratories (JPL), and one of the major contributors in rocket development was highly influenced by English occultist Aleister Crowley, who happened to refer to himself as “The Great Beast 666.” Parsons is notorious for his obsession with practicing and seeking after similar rituals as Crowley. His association with founder of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard, is also well documented.
So it is no surprise to learn that Elon Musk, and his private aerospace manufacturing and space transport service company, Space-X, has been testing a robotic space capsule named “Dragon.” According to Musk, the name “Dragon” came from the 1963 song “Puff, the Magic Dragon” by Peter, Paul and Mary. Since this author doesn’t believe in coincidences of such magnitude, and considering the spiritual nature of influence behind these large corporate movements, naming the capsule “Dragon” might very well have been a result of whispers from the fallen one. Thus, when Space-X published public tweets that say “Planning to send Dragon to Mars as soon as 2018. Red Dragons will inform overall Mars architecture…”[7] or when we read headlines that say “Dragon Returns to Earth…”[8] we can’t help but be reminded of what we are told in the Scriptures:
And the great dragon was cast out (thrown down), that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Revelation 12:9
The second example will be the inquiry of the remaining sections: digital realms. While the example of “going celestial” inquired about the unreachable distances of our cosmic design, the opposite end, “going quantum” has equal weight in the exploration of the other direction. Going large and going small. These two areas of inquiry are actually folding back onto itself. In other words, going large, and going small, are beginning to mean the same thing in light of what the digital realm represents, and what we are beginning to understand about reality as presented in the Bible. This concept will make more sense when we go full circle at the end of this section.
THE DEITY MACHINE IN THE MAKING OF A PORTAL
“You talk as if a god had made the Machine,” cried the other. “I believe that you pray to it when you are unhappy. Men made it, do not forget that. Great men, but men. The Machine is much, but not everything.”
E.M. Forster The Machine Stops 1909
Over 100 years ago, author E.M. Forster wrote a short story that could be deemed prophetic literature. The Machine Stops depicts a dystopian future where humanity was no longer able to live on the surface of the earth, but reduced to living in individual cells underground where an omnipotent global Machine provided all of man’s basic physical and spiritual needs. What is remarkable is Forsters’ depiction of its communication technologies, which eerily resembles video chatting via the Internet, much like we do on Skype and Face-Time today. Furthermore, those who did not accept the deity of the Machine were considered unfit for society and ultimately banished from the underground civilization, sent out onto the “uninhabitable” surface of the earth. The inquisitive Forster also touches on many other modern fringe topics like underground bases, climate change, and air travel. In the closing scenes of the short story, the Machine collapses in apocalyptic fashion, and the characters realize that their connection to nature was the purpose of life. They attempt to extend a warning to surface dwellers and future rebuilders of human civilizations not to repeat the mistakes made by the builders of the Machine. While the inclinations of Forster are disturbingly accurate, there is an even older text of supernatural origin that gives similar warnings.
And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
Revelation 13:14-15
The backdrop to this passage from the latter half of Revelation 13 is the arrival of the first beast that emerges from the sea (something we will touch on later in this chapter) that had a mortal head wound that was magically healed. This miraculous healing, which some commentators believe it a counterfeit resurrection scenario of the Antichrist, gives way to the beast that emerges from the earth. This second beast deceives mankind into building the image of the beast, much like the people built the Machine in Forster’s dystopic future. And this Machine identifies itself with attributes of God, much like the image, when the second beast gives “life unto the image of the beast.” As of this writing on the precipice of the 4th Industrial Revolution, and with massive social change ahead of us, it is merely impossible to ignore the relevance of these passages in the book of Revelation. What Forster saw over 100 years ago, we see now. And what the Scriptures prophesied thousands of years ago fit the landscape of our modern social trajectory.
An image, or inanimate object, that is given what appears to be life sounds identical to the modern developments of Artificial Intelligence. And the power to kill if it does not receive worship is the characteristic of Forsters Machine. Whether true sentience is achieved or not, this image will have what appear to be God-like attributes (such as omnipotence, omnipresence, and the power to give and take life.) The question is not whether A.I. is actually achieved (does it have a soul?), but what spiritual implications it therefore causes, and how we might respond to it given we seem to be living the times that not only Forster saw, but also the Bible prophesied. The more paramount question is, what does technology really want with our souls?
Today, we cannot imagine a world without computing machines. In fact, this document here would not be created without our modern computing technology. Even in 1909, Forster was depicting his concern for human dependence on technology. This was not by surprise since it was in response to his contemporary, H.G. Wells’ utopian depictions of future civilizations in A Modern Utopia, published in 1905. Strangely, both Forster and Wells tapped into the landscape of the Biblical eschaton in the tides of computing technology, but on opposing sides of the moral spectrum. Those who embrace this coming technium to its end, and those who don’t. In a world where machine is declared deity, a new religion will be birthed, and those who believe in the very prophetic eschaton of the Bible will be marginalized, and eventually eliminated (martyred).
THE METAPHYSICS OF THE TECHNIUM
It is clear that Forster was very inquisitive in his outlook on the relationship between mankind and technology. However, what he did not foresee is the rise of the metaphysical or supernatural explanation being added to the knowledge base for natural law. The lines between religion and science are being erased.
A common phrase we hear in the post-modern world is that a person is “spiritual” but not “religious.” They wish to shed the title “religion” as it connotes restrictive thinking and behavior, institutional failure, and ironically, moral outrage. This phenomenon speaks into the fact that humanity cannot exist without the experience of the transcendent qualities to life. Life is sacred and important for all of us, even the most ardent atheist. Even the nihilist must admit, that he must create the illusion of purpose in a purposeless universe. Thus, it is the most profound of events that human civilization will face, when intelligent life greets us through the technium, the Machine, the image of the beast.
The more science learns the more evidence it compiles for a transcendent quality to existence. And the more science and magic are being re-embraced.
“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”
Arthur C. Clarke
The technium, as coined by co-creator of Wired Magazine Kevin Kelly, is the collective interrelationships with all machines on the planet. According to Kelly, this network of interworking machines forms a kind of life of its own. The example Kelly uses is that of a pen. The pen itself is a technological tool on its own, but its coming to being required the technology of many different disciplines. The development of ink, metal, plastic, and ball bearings all have their unique journey in the hands of man’s technological progress. All collectively have lead to the creation of the pen. And while the pen itself is not self-aware, Kelly uses this example as the backdrop to what he is really trying to say about the technium.
The technium is that largest network of all the technologies working together to support each other, and while this pen is definitely not alive, there is a sense in which the technium as a whole exhibits life-like behaviors in the same way that your neuron doesn’t really think, but the network of neurons in your brain can make an idea.
And so I look at the network of all the technology in the world, past and present, as forming a system that seems to have its own urges and tendencies. Like any kind of a system, it will have certain ways that it’s biased to, and those biases are inherent in the system. It doesn’t really matter which humans are living or not; it’s a systems bias. The question I’ve been asking myself is, what are the biases of this system of all the technologies in the world together? If we can understand what those biases are, then we would have some idea of where it’s leaning towards and where it generally wants to go. Not surprisingly, since I see this as a life-like system, I see its origins in life. That is, in a certain sense, this technium is an extension of the same forces that self-organized into life, and that are continuing through the technium, so that the technium is inherently not anti-life. It’s actually very much derived from and compatible with living things. In terms of the cosmos, it’s actually continuing and accelerating the things that life and evolution were doing on the planet.
It’s moving in certain directions, and I would say that if we were to make a list of where it’s going, it’s not a destiny but kind of a direction. It’s moving towards complexity, and it’s moving towards more sentience—more mind. It’s moving towards more specialization. It’s moving towards more energy density, and there’s a whole set of other directions that life is also moving towards. So if we want to imagine where technology will be in 100 years or 1,000 years, we can go down the list and say it’s going to be more complex than it is today. There’s going to be more minds and artificial minds everywhere. Whatever we make today, we’re going to have more specialized versions of it in the future. It becomes more mutualistic, in the sense that technology becomes more dependent on other technologies. We ourselves, our society, will become more mutualistic. These are all some of the things that I would say technology wants because the system itself is biased in these directions, inherently outside of what humans like us want.
Kevin Kelly[9]
Kelly himself has not been free of hard criticism for his views on the technium. But his line of thinking is more evidence of the breach between the physical and metaphysical realities. The results are many philosophical dispositions, most ardently on reality itself.
Notice his comment about the collection of neurons creating an idea. Ideas are non-physical constructs. As with life, it is not the material thing that life is in, but the spiritual, non-physical elements, a soul, which is the part that manifests in the physical realm. The common example is that of chalk and a chalkboard. Copious equations and sentences can be written on a chalkboard with a piece of chalk, all communicating ideas. Yet, once the eraser sweeps across the chalkboard, the amount of chalk doesn’t change, but the information or idea it was conveying vanishes. The formation and organization of the chalk represented the substance of the information, which forms ideas. So it’s obvious to see, that Kelly here is summoning a non-physical reality by declaring the collective movement of technology “life-like.” And while these presuppositions may seem absurd, there are more and more voices in the scientific community echoing the same sentiments. This shift in thinking is monumental for future generations, especially related to the Gospel. Whether one likes it or not, it is true that as our understanding of physical matter progresses in the realms of science, so does the account of Ancient Biblical Text. And in many ways, it confirms what the Scriptures had been saying all along.
Kelly even goes on to describe a force that self-organized matter into life. With no explanation of who or what that force might be, Kelly once again, relies on the metaphysical to explain this very physical phenomenon. And while Kelly doesn’t provide the ultimate destination of the technium, he does suggest the direction it is going, which include attributes like sentience, a mind, and energy density. In the closing moments of the quote, Kelly seems to imply that the technium has a mind of its own. But what should concern us is not the development of the technium, but our own human response and involvement with it. As we interact and build the technium (whether we like it or not, we’re all contributing to it if we are online), it appears we are forming what appears to be a life-form that reflects the very sin nature of mankind. Man is making machine in its own image. Yet, as we consider what man is becoming with the integrations of biology and computing technologies, it begins to look more like the beast.
PROPHETIC REFLECTIONS OF THE TECHNIUM BEAST
What Kelly describes as a life form bred collectively by human society, also gives a whole new level of insight into the advent of the Internet, Social Media, and Big Data. Some commentators of the Bible have suggested Adam was created as a grown human being, complete and equipped with all the faculties of life. Given the status of human based data being dumped into the collective aether of the Internet cloud, a similar greeting may occur, where self-awareness begins with a twinkling of an eye. Except the faculties of life for the technium will be all interconnected technologies around the world. Yet, it’s mind or thought would exist solely in the Internet cloud or aether. This may be what futurists consider to be the event horizon, the technological singularity. In other words, humanity will come face to digital face, with a new (or very ancient, depending on how you look at it) being, or race of beings. What is generally labeled, artificial life (A.I.). Thus, the buiding of the technium sounds eerily reminiscent of passages about the beast that comes out of the sea in the book of Revelation.
And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads.
Revelation 13:1
Many commentators have suggested that the “sea” here means the “people of the world.” They connect it to another passage in Revelation 17 and Mystery Babylon.
And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
Revelation 17:15
This correlation between the peoples, multitudes, nations and tongues with the sea, where the beast rises from suggests quite clearly how and what this beast system will be built upon; humanity.
In so many ways, it appears our continued interaction with the information “cloud” has already given birth to the technium at an embryonic level. When perusing the recent news items, it is quite evident that many developments in technology, at least at the mainstream institutional and academic levels, are moving forward with little regard for any ethical concern. As a result, many of the stories we see, hear, and read today, sound like science fiction.
As of this writing, in the last two weeks, this authors YouTube channel has reported on several unbelievable developments in the world of science and technology. A “Cyborg Artist” who has an implant in her arm that gives her sensations of all the seismic activity on the planet earth dances to the vibration of earthquakes. NPR (National Public Radio) reported that scientists at UC Davis have been growing human-animal hybrids in the wombs of pigs in an attempt to grow human replacement organs. IBM, a computer and technology company announced the development of a miracle vaccine that would protect people from Zika, swine flu, bird flu, and other feared epidemics. A private company called ReAnima has been given the go ahead to start attempting to resurrect, or at least re-animate clinically dead patients.
What all of these stories have in common is, once again, the eerie connection to the various prophetic passages found in the Bible. The “Cyborg Artist” is an example of humanity beginning to merge with machine. The technium itself will not only be built in the digital spaces, but its hardware counterpart will literally live in biological spaces. The advent of transhumanism has brought new possibilities of the fulfillment describing the Mark of the Beast. But its interconnection of the marks connection to the Image of the Beast, can explain why stories like the Cyborg Artists is alarming.
The story of NPR reporting that scientists are growing human-animal hybrids is striking in a similar vein. It is changing the biological construction of the human being. It is altering its original design. Again, humanity is building the machine in its own image, and the image of man is changing into the beast.
IBM creating a type of universal vaccine resonates deeply with the possibilities of how the Mark of the Beast would be deployed. With the combination of computing, synthetic biology, and required vaccination, we see not only the technology to inject foreign substances into mass human populations, but the political infrastructure necessary to create a climate of “no buying or selling” or particiapation in civil society, without the Mark/Vaccine.
And finally, the company ReAnima attempting to resurrect the tissue of clinically dead patients is the ultimate act of blasphemy towards God.
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
2 Thessalonians 2:4
This description of the antichrist figure reflects the hubris and pride that the man of sin will boast. Yet, his powers and abilities will reflect that of God. The proof of God’s eternal power was demonstrated through the resurrection of His son, Jesus Christ. And in the promise of His return, is the resurrection of all the dead in Christ (1 Thess. 4:16), and the gift of new, heavenly bodies (1 Cor. 15). The developments towards a counterfeit fulfillment of such prophecies are what we see here in the story about ReAnima.
These are just 4 of countless more stories that prove the world is becoming stranger than science fiction. What was once viewed as mythology, or at best fanciful visions about the future, are now becoming plausible. The eschatological system of the beasts described in the Book of Revelation appears to be manifesting in our generation.
Perhaps similar to how God formed Adam by simply giving him breath, man, through his representative in the second beast or the false prophet, will give breath to the image in some kind of ceremonial spiritual event. The possible connections with many other prophetic Biblical passages concerning the Abomination of Desolation, the Antichrist himself, and the beast system are endless. Such areas require deeper investigations. Nevertheless, what we can draw from the parallels of Forsters’ Machine, the technium, and the image of the beast, is that we are headed towards a major clash of civilizations, between life, and pseudo-life via technology.
And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
Daniel 2:43
As the Machine grows and the technium expands, our concerns also for the mysteriously strange and powerful machines like the Large Hadron Collider at CERN rise.
TOWERS OF THE TECHNIUM (CERN)
“We must remember this when we are ready to reach for the sky. God came down and confused man’s language and scattered them.”
-Toba Beta, My Ancestor Was an Ancient Astronaut
After the fall of man, Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden (Gen. 3:23). It can be surmised that what occultists interpret as the Golden Age of pre-history was this time of Eden. Under the presumption, these same occultists falsely believe that Yahweh was an evil deity, who kicked out Adam and Eve from paradise in an act of injustice. The Golden Age was a time when heaven and earth were still one, before Yahweh placed a barrier between the two. The hubris of man has been the pursuit to restore the rightful circumstance of existence; to have heaven and earth together once again. Such philosophy is evident in the early actions of man and his interaction with supernatural beings as recorded in the Bible. After the great flood of Noah, which wiped out the initial race of giants called the Nephilim who were the result of intermarriage between the sons of God and the daughters of men (Genesis 6), a tower was constructed under the assumed leadership of the first global world leader, Nimrod. In Genesis chapter 11, we read about the strange events surrounding the construction of the Tower of Babel.
And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. ~ Genesis 11:3
The first aspect of this ancient technology to focus on is the brick. The word for “bricks” is leben, which means brick or tile, but can also mean “tablet.”[10] Such a translation can open up to some wild speculations. First, if these were perfectly uniform cut bricks, it begs the question of what kind of technology these ancients used in order to reproduce mass quantities in such precise geometrically consistent fashion? Secondly, if “tablet” is more accurate, we can begin to entertain the supernatural and occult significance. For example, there is the Emerald Tablet of occult lore, and objects like the “Tablets of Destinies,” of Sumerian mythos, which allowed the possessor of it, to become the de facto ruler of the universe, harnessing the power to destroy it. These concepts are discussed in more detail in other chapters of the book. While “bricks” from Babel may not have anything to do with such ancient artifacts, the possibility remains plausible that the knowledge present in the time of building the tower originated from the same supernatural source.
The bitumen, which was used for mortar, also has its significance under the scope of occultism. As the workable paste for building, the mortar was one of the first substances used in building large stone structures. In other words, it is an important element for stonemasons in their truest definition. But perhaps some visual examples will help aid in understanding the Tower of Babel. Consider the Great Bath, Mohenjo-daro, believed to have been built in the 3rd Millennium BCE. Today, the Great Bath sits as a pile of ancient ruin. But many moons ago, this pit of bricks was used to collect water and be used as a bath. The main ingredient to make this process more efficient was the use of bitumen lined on the sides and beneath the brick structure.
The word “bitumen” is interchangeable with the similar and familiar substance, “asphalt.” And while asphalt is made from petroleum extract, the natural substance of bitumen is found at the bottom of lakes and oceans. Attaining the substance in its natural state would be tremendously difficult even for advanced civilizations. Mainstream contemporary scholarship suggests that Neanderthals first used it some 40,000 years ago. They would have us believe that it became a staple substance as an adhesive and waterproofing materials for the next 30 plus millennia, leading up to the wide spread use in the ancient near east. Such preposterous notions aside, we know that it was at least used to build the Tower of Babel. In fact, the use of bitumen goes back to Noah and building of the Ark itself. And, thus we can figure, that it goes back into the days of Cain, the first city builder. Where did Cain attain the knowledge of getting, and using bitumen as an adhesive substance? As mentioned earlier, the accounts from the psuedopigraphical Book of Enoch sheds light onto the issue:
And restore the Earth which the Angels have ruined. And announce the restoration of the Earth. For I shall restore the Earth so that not all the sons of men shall be destroyed because of the knowledge which the Watchers made known and taught to their sons.
Enoch 10:7
It was part of this knowledge that must have been behind the hubris of mankind in building the Tower of Babel, to reach into heaven.
In the image above, notice how the brick work of the Great Bath is just as good as brick work done today. And this was 5000 years ago, most likely after the languages were scattered at Babel. If this is of any indication for the level of sophistication, planning, and purpose that went into the building of the Tower of Babel and its city, it helps us reframe our understanding of the level of knowledge that may have been behind them.
THE JASHER TECHNOLOGY
The Book of Jasher, recounts details about the Tower of Babel that are quite insightful and alarming when one considers the implications of a civilization that may have been technologically humble at the societal level, but advanced in terms of being in reach of some kind cosmic scale technology or weapon of mass destruction; a result of the scattered, or perhaps lost technology from the antediluvian world. No matter the finer details of how such a technology or science might have looked in the days before the great flood, the greater point is to recognize that we are living in the days of Babel once again, where some kind of technology and science will redefine our world and spark a new age, and with it a new level of power than man can wield to destroy itself.
In chapter 9, verse 21 of Jasher it states:
And all the princes of Nimrod and his great men took counsel together; Phut, Mitzraim, Cush and Canaan with their families, and they said to each other, Come let us build ourselves a city and in it a strong tower, and its top reaching heaven, and we will make ourselves famed, so that we may reign upon the whole world, in order that the evil of our enemies may cease from us, that we may reign mightily over them, and that we may not become scattered over the earth on account of their wars.[11]
The enemies of Nimrod are no doubt, Yahweh and His council of Heavenly Host. But we can speculate that what we are looking at here, might literally be, wormhole technology that could reach into heaven, or outer space, or another dimension (of which I believe overlap). It then causes great fame for those that achieve it, but it burdens Nimrod to know that the “enemies” and their “wars” would prevent them from achieving this agenda, indicating that he knew the kingdom of Yahweh was ultimately more powerful, being that Yahweh is God. While paintings of the Tower of Babel usually consist of a tall building, the Bible itself tells us that the technology can do quite a bit more:
And the LORD said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. ~ Genesis 11:6 [Emphasis Mine]
A painting by Pieter Bruegel the Elder called “The Tower of Babel (Vienna).”
Again, such passages beg the question, what kind of technology would cause God to suggest that the children of men would be able to do whatever they propose to do? We turn once again to the Book of Jasher, verse 25 for some clues:
And the building of the tower was unto them a transgression and a sin, and they began to build it, and whilst they were building against the Lord God of heaven, they imagined in their hearts to war against him and to ascend into heaven.[12]
This passage sounds very familiar to one we read about in Isaiah, where Satan proclaims his five “I will” statements; the most applicable of the five being: “You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far reaches of the north;”[13]
Many have dismissed such verbiage as nothing more than allegorical boasting, negating the obvious possibility that these passages could be clues informing us that Satan in the ancient past, or the children of men in the time of Babel, actually tried to ascend into the heavens. Such a theme brings us right back to today. We are living in the days of Babel again. And its beast is slowly beginning to rise out of the sea of chaos.
In a lecture titled UFOs, the Tower of Babel Moment, and Space Collateralization and Commercialization, by Dr. Joseph P. Farrell at the Secret Space Program Conference in 2014 stated the following:
“Anytime you have a technology that is capable of engineering the fabric of space time, or the zero point energy, locally, on the laboratory bench, you have first of all a technology that if weaponized would make the hydrogen bomb look like a firecracker. If you engineer it for propulsion purposes, then quite literally the sky is the limit. And thirdly…this would mean a complete restructuring of the financial system as necessary…they are in the process of erecting a new system. So the question is why? And I would submit…that the reason is, the UFO is the great hole in our contemporary culture and particularly in our understanding of technological developments…this would have led to the realization…that humanity was in a danger period; a Tower of Babel moment of human history, during which non-terrestrial intervention prior to such human technological emulation in human affairs and independence, had to be contemplated and prevented…”[14]
Farrell goes on to suggest that nowhere in Genesis 11, in the account of the Tower of Babel, does it mention the building of the Tower was in any way sinful. But as we saw, while the Book of Jasher is not considered inspired text, it does support monotheism and a supreme God, who is Yahweh, and the notion that it was in fact sinful; “And the building of the tower was unto them a transgression and a sin.” What we can gather from the Book of Jasher, and then along side it, the Book of Isaiah chapter 14, is that the evidence points to the activity of Satan and the spirit antichrist. As a result, while I disagree with Farrell about whether or not building the tower is a sin, his observation of the developments concerning technologies that fell into the laps of the breakaway civilization in recent decades, being akin to what occurred in the time of building the original Tower of Babel, ought to be duly noted. But taking it one step further, the capabilities of these technologies will undoubtedly take us into the skies and into the stars. In fact, many believe it has already been done, and that a hidden civilization of elite on this earth, already traverse among the stars, perhaps seeking the same cosmic scale technologies that the ancient once did. There is fair evidence to suggest a secret program for space colonization and weaponization that exists under our noses and above our heads. How such topics might relate to Biblical prophecy is something I will continue to explore. But it does appear to be a real phenomenon. The question is, how advanced are they? This is something to tackle another time.
More from the Book of Jasher, in chapter 9, verse 29, it states:
And the Lord knew their thoughts, and it came to pass when they were building they cast the arrows toward the heavens, and all the arrows fell upon them filled with blood, and when they saw them they said to each other, Surely we have slain all those that are in heaven.[15]
What kind of arrows were bring shot towards heaven? And who were they trying to destroy? If we understand this passage correctly, Nimrod and his people, shot some kind of projectile into the heavens, in hopes to take down Yahweh and His heavenly host. It is strange that those on the ground lost sight of the arrows, suggesting that this projectile might have been larger in scale than one might expect, either into space above us, or into some portal or star gate. And notice how it returned down to earth “filled with blood.” This reference might be allegorical, but if literal, then something was done to the projectiles to make them appear as if they had hit their target. After Nimrod saw that the arrows were “filled with blood,” they assumed that the enemy was now eliminated. Was this literal blood, or perhaps the blood was on the children of men when “all the arrows fell upon them,” as they eventually caused more harm to themselves than taking down the Lord and His Holy Hosts. It can also be argued that this is an extra biblical example of the Evangelion; A theological statement regarding Christianity, about God‘s sacrificial love through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Or perhaps all of this is far too outside ones consideration for the prospect of reality.
Secular speculation, and those who hold an anti-christian presuppositions in their research, might consider “those that are in heaven” are rather ET’s with highly advanced technology, such that they could know “their thoughts” and either prevent, or assist in developing these technologies. But if this event was in fact an ancient shadow of things to come in the very near future, the implications are quite significant.
Farrell’s thesis in his presentation is that our underworld of the elites have already gone through the contemporary equivalent of the biblical and historical “Tower of Babel Moment.” That is, a point in history where human possibilities became endless, most likely as a result of progress in the techno-science. Some researchers would like us to believe that it would be in the best interest of mankind, if we do not allow the LORD to intervene, and prevent us from achieving our goals this time around. In other words, their mission is precisely Satan’s mission, outlined in Isaiah 14 and other peripheral passages, and they desire not that the God of heaven will restrain them from doing whatever “which they have imagined to do.” They are hostile towards Yahweh, which results in the hostility towards Jesus Christ. So in terms of what the Biblical report indicates, it is no surprise that they represent in fullness, the worldview, of the spirit of antichrist. And more importantly, as such occult knowledge comes to the forefront, a paradigm shift will occur, as it is now, right before our eyes, for people to worship of the Dragon, just as prophesied.
HEAVENLY HOSTS AND THE TOWER OF BABEL CONNECTION
In Genesis chapter 11, we saw that God prevented the building of the Tower of Babel. Similarly, in the Book of Jasher, there are once again, some clues as to what actually happened. After God punished the men who had done the work, He confused their language:
And God said to the seventy angels who stood foremost before him, to those who were near to him, saying, Come let us descend and confuse their tongues, that one man shall not understand the language of his neighbor, and they did so unto them.[16]
The seventy angels mentioned here is interesting because they alludes to the table of nations God assigned in the Book of Genesis chapter 10. A theory proposed by Dr. Mike Heiser, linguistic scholar of near east and Semitic language, suggests that these 70 were part of the Divine Council, a heavenly bureaucracy, all of which eventually turned their back on Yahweh, being worshipped by men, as gods. This would ultimately lead to Yahweh choosing Israel as His own nation by which His promises will be fulfilled. According to Heiser:
“The OT exhibits a three-tiered council (the craftsman tier is absent). In Israelite religion, Yahweh, at the top tier, was the supreme authority over the divine council, which included a second tier of lesser elohim (“gods”), also called the “sons of God” or “sons of the Most High.” The third tier comprised the mal’akhim (“angels”).”[17]
There are many proof texts in the Bible that indicate these tiers of councils and the drama that led to the breaking away of Yahweh to choose Israel as His own nation. One of the most notable occasions is Psalm 82:
1 God has taken his place in the divine council;
in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:
2 “How long will you judge unjustly
and show partiality to the wicked? Selah
3 Give justice to the weak and the fatherless;
maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.
4 Rescue the weak and the needy;
deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”
5 They have neither knowledge nor understanding,
they walk about in darkness;
all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
6 I said, “You are gods,
sons of the Most High, all of you;
7 nevertheless, like men you shall die,
and fall like any prince.”
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth;
for you shall inherit all the nations![18]
Virgil Solis: “God’s Council”
Here we clearly see Yahweh addressing his heavenly council in judgment. The gods that were in charge of the 70 nations seemed to have not been doing the work they were assigned to do. As a result, Yahweh explains to them that they will die like men and “fall like any prince.” But you may be wondering how we know that the gods Yahweh is addressing are the 70 who had rule over the nations. Deuteronomy 32 verse 8 tells us.
When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he divided mankind, he fixed the borders of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God.[19]
This brings us full circle back to the time of Babel, because here we see the Most High giving the nations their own inheritance, dividing the people, even giving them fixed borders according to the number of the sons of God, which are described as the 70 angels in the Book of Jasher. Could this event, and the confusion of the languages at the Tower of Babel, be one in the same? If so, then the assignment of people groups by those hosts who were servants of Yahweh, was intended to be a positive thing. However, it seemed even the hosts of God can befall tempatation, perhaps fading into the same sin that occurred back in the days of Genesis 6 (This would explain the “second incursion” theory of how the Nephilim returned to earth after the flood). And it should also be noted that Dr. Heiser distinguishes between the second tier divine council, with the third tier angels. Many have either ignored, or have not distinguished this technicality within the translations resulting in calling members of the divine council as “angels.” Lastly, it should be noted that there are more than 70 “sons of God” in existence. We know this because the “sons of God” previously appear, again, in Genesis 6, conducting evil deeds and creating a hybrid race of giants called the Nephilim, well before God assigned the 70. In fact, the book of Job describes the sons of God rejoicing when the earth was created (Job 38:7) indicating that they were in existence, well before mankind ever walked the earth.
It ought not be alarming to believe that entities of higher intelligence do exist and interact with us today. And while there are many forms of spirits, ghosts, orbs, and a plethora of paranormal accounts, investigations, and stories, we ought to remember that the very instruction manual for life, the Bible, speaks into such fringe and unfamiliar territories with great explanatory power. It reminds us that despite all of the evils that have befallen mankind’s dark history, God always has a plan, and it is in play today.
Moving on, while it is fun to speculate on “what might have been,” in the days of the Tower of Babel, its activities, and its agents, it is far more important to see the similarities happening right before our eyes.
INTO MODERNITY
The Book of Jasher also records the destruction of the tower itself, soon after the dispersion of the people:
And as to the tower which the sons of men built, the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up one third part thereof, and a fire also descended from heaven and burned another third, and the other third is left to this day, and it is of that part which was aloft, and its circumference is three days’ walk.[20]
Here, we see God bury a third of the tower, burning a third of the tower by reigning fire down from heaven (potentially mimicked by heavenly/space technology that will be used by the False Prophet ala Revelation 13, as false signs and wonders), with a third of it left “to this day.” It even describes the size of the remaining third, which is said to be a circumference of a three-day walk.
According to Talmudic traditions, a day’s journey of the average man was called derekh yom, which equals to approximately 10 parasangs. A single parasa is considered to be about 2.4-2.88 miles.[21] This means in a derekh yom, one could walk somewhere between 24 to 28.8 miles. In three derekh yom’s, this would add up to somewhere between 72 and 86.4 miles. If that were a third of the actual size of the Tower of Babel, then we are looking at a circumference of somewhere between 216 and 259.2 miles!
Now this would indicate something far different from the traditional views of the Tower of Babel being nothing more than a tall Ziggurat shaped building. Rather, it would seem that whatever was being built required unfathomable distances. And as our investigation moves from these ancient glimpses of the distant past, to modern day developments, we can begin to see the kinds of technologies that may have been harnessed by men, which ultimately caused God to prevent it’s continued development.
PARTICLE ACCELERATORS
Back in 1952, just seven years after WW2 and early in the development of the breakaway civilization, the Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire, or more commonly referred to as CERN (Council for Nuclear Research) was formed. The mandate of the group was to establish a world class fundamental physics research and organization in Europe. CERN has come a long way since the idea to formulate such a group was proposed back in 1949 when the focus was purely on understanding the inside of the atom, hence the name nuclear. Today, its main focus has been on particle physics, which includes looking at antimatter, and searching for the Higgs Boson, more commonly known as the “God Particle.” In order to conduct this research, its main tool has been the LHC or the Large Hadron Collider. What’s interesting to note is the size of this world-renowned particle accelerator:
The LHC consists of a 27-kilometre ring of superconducting magnets with a number of accelerating structures to boost the energy of the particles along the way. Inside the accelerator, two high-energy particle beams travel at close to the speed of light before they are made to collide. The beams travel in opposite directions in separate beam pipes – two tubes kept at ultrahigh vacuum. They are guided around the accelerator ring by a strong magnetic field maintained by superconducting electromagnets. The electromagnets are built from coils of special electric cable that operates in a superconducting state, efficiently conducting electricity without resistance or loss of energy. This requires chilling the magnets to ‑271.3°C – a temperature colder than outer space. For this reason, much of the accelerator is connected to a distribution system of liquid helium, which cools the magnets, as well as to other supply services.[22]
LHC
It is interesting that they would create conditions colder than space itself, however, the more pressing issue is the size of this accelerator. With a circumference of 27 kilometers, or 16.777 miles, this is a fairly large construction for simply testing particle beams. Furthermore, aside from trying to recreate the conditions of the Big Bang, the folks at CERN are quite literally trying to rip into the fabric of space-time and see into other dimensions. In an article published on January 1, 2013 by the The Guardian titled, Higgs boson was just a start for Cern’s atom smasher – other mysteries await, Andy Parker, a professor of high energy physics at Cambridge is quoted as saying:
“What you’d expect is that as you reach the right energy, you suddenly see inside the extra dimensions, and gravity becomes big and strong instead of feeble and weak…There could be a whole universe full of galaxies and stars and civilisations and newspapers that we didn’t know about…That would be a big deal.”[23]
It certainly would be a big deal. But perhaps this entire organization is simply a front to develop the kinds of particle laser beams that will be necessary to combat a future invasion from space, or a different dimension entirely. Such speculation is quite likely after looking at more of the comments made by the scientists who are working at CERN.
In an article published by the Telegraph in 2008 titled Time travelers from the future ‘could be here in weeks,’ coinciding the launch of the LHC, many comments about the potential of this device creating wormholes were made. In one such example:
“Prof Aref’eva and Dr Volovich believe the LHC could create wormholes and so allow a form of time travel. ‘We realised that closed timelike curves and wormholes could also be a result of collisions of particles,’ Prof Aref’eva says.[24]
Then there was the mention from the website Science Guardian dot com, in an article titled CERN Challenges the gods, that there are apparently, “three dangers inherent in the CERN insistence on going full speed ahead despite all the warning signals: strangelets turning the planet into a smoking asteroid the size of a baseball park, a micro black hole swallowing the earth from the core outwards, if not the sun, and/or the generation of a huge amount of energy equivalent to a thermonuclear bomb per second.” [25]Very encouraging and positive from these leading scientists isn’t it?
But there’s more. Many conspiracy researchers have pointed out the fact that sitting in front of the CERN LHC facility is a statue of the Hindu god Shiva, also known as “the Destroyer” or “the Transformer.” They have also pointed out the suspicious display of ancient text surrounded by a blue laser beam in the foyer of the facility.
But if a 17-mile ring has the potential for such catastrophic destruction, what would it mean for a collider that is more than double the size?
DESERTRON
The Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) otherwise known as the Desertron, was in the works to be built in the vicinity of Waxahachie Texas back in the late 1980’s. This project was working towards producing nearly double the amount of energy that the LHC in its current incarnation possessed. In order to do this, the planned ring was estimated to be a circumference of 87.1 kilometers, or 54.1 miles! That’s almost three times the size of the current LHC.[26] But, being such a public affair, funding for the Desertron was cancelled back in 1993 by Congress. While there no direct way to prove it, it is highly likely that projects like Desertron went deep underground, both literally and figuratively, funded heavily by the breakaway civilization, in order to reconstruct the conditions of the Tower of Babel.
If the Book of Jasher really is giving us clues about how large the Tower of Babel was, then perhaps it too was some kind of ancient particle accelerator. If the numbers were anywhere near accurate, then the ring that made up the Tower of Babel would have been of a circumference that is quite literally, over four times the size of the proposed Desertron.
While this is quite startling, it is not out of the realm of possibility given what we are able to create today. And if such technologies were real in the past, it is no surprise that those who know about it, would want to reconstruct this technology, in order to begin ripping holes in space-time, peering into other dimensions, or worse yet, creating a weapon that has the power to destroy the universe.
The Particle Accelerator that Never was.

Historians suggest that the First Industrial Revolution occurred between the 1790s and the 1840s, where basic machines harnessed the power of wind, horse, man, and water in factory settings where textiles and fabrics began to be produced in faster, more efficient means. The Second Industrial Revolution is considered to be between 1870-1910. As a means to rebuild after the Civil War, large projects involving railroads and basic control of electricity were achieved. This is also the era that big bank moguls of the day (Rockefeller, Carnegie, Vanderbilt, J.P. Morgan and Edison) considered as “robber barons” started to take over social construction. The Third Industrial Revolution is thought to have begun in the 1970s where information technology started to rapidly increase and change the way the world operated. This era is sometimes referred to as the “Information age.” ↑

BRIDGES TO META-REALITY: CONNECTING THE DOTS
We will now examine the precipice, the Event Horizon, the bridge that connects the furthest reaches of the universe to the smallest particles visible. The topic to bring us this point is the Black Hole. Black Holes bend the philosophies of materialism. In fact, it might break it altogether. According to mainstream science, Black Holes are likely a gateway into other dimensions. Stephen Hawkings recently made an appearance at Harvard University. Commenting on the current state of understanding the cosmos, in particular the Black Hole, the words of Hawkings are subtly preparing us for the many unimaginable prophecies found in the Bible.
“It is said that fact is sometimes stranger than fiction, and nowhere is that more true than in the case of black holes…Black holes are stranger than anything dreamed up by science fiction writers, but they are clearly matters of science fact…For more than 200 years, we have believed in the science of determinism, that is that the laws of science determine the evolution of the universe…If information were lost in black holes, we wouldn’t be able to predict the future because the black hole could emit any collection of particles.
“It might seem that it wouldn’t matter very much if we couldn’t predict what comes out of black holes — there aren’t any black holes near us…But it’s a matter of principle. If determinism — the predictability of the universe — breaks down in black holes, it could break down in other situations. Even worse, if determinism breaks down, we can’t be sure of our past history either. The history books and our memories could just be illusions. It is the past that tells us who we are. Without it, we lose our identity.”
Steven Hawkings
http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2016/04/hawking-at-harvard/
The suggestion that black holes are mere science fact, is a bit presumptuous, nevertheless, it is true that fellow humans are collecting data from above us and attempting to explain it, and eventually, reconstruct its implications. But the deeper element of what Hawking said, are about the breaking down of all reality as illusions.
There are two things that can be drawn from this quote:
The realities that are being uncovered by modern Science, are fundamentally changing the cosmological outlook of the universe.
This monumental shift will also change how man defines himself.
First, it’s important to point out that by calling Black Holes, “stranger than anything dreamed up by science fiction writers,” Hawkings is effectively confirming supernatural and metaphysical properties to Creation. Many atheists and materialists will accuse a believer in the supernatural or the Bible, of believing myths and fairytales. Yet, science fiction can no doubt be defined as myth and fairytale. Thus, as science begins to peer into the supernatural realms of creation, it will come face to face with the supernatural histories expressed in the Bible and other ancient text. In other words, Science will detach itself from modern demythologizing methodologies, and become a free agent, seeking answers from the marketplace of supernatural histories and cosmologies. It is at this point where individuals we’ll have to seek the truth in matters of cosmology and creation itself. The paradigm offered in this book, which is rooted in the word of God, is a more than viable option in the marketplace. It not only provides an explanation for creation, but also a solution to its problem.
Still there are other realms of inquiry that many scientists have explored and integrated into their philosophical dispositions. From the mystical religions in the practice of alchemy, to the occult traditions of secret societies, to the new age philosophies, what we will begin to see will be the merging of these various supernatural paradigms into the construction of a new cosmology driven by modern Science. As the prophecies in the Bible express a one world false religious system in the end times, it is not a stretch to suggest that we are seeing the beginning of this deception here with modern Science as its shepherd. If the deception is true, then there will be a massive culling of souls for hell in the coming years leading up to the Day of the Lord. This is where we will transition from the large-scale cosmological outlook, inward, to the individual self, the place where identity is drawn.
As the second point states the results of the shifts in cosmology will ripple change to the realms of personal identity. It will change how man defines himself. Hawkings theorizes the philosophical breakpoints that will occur given what we are starting to understand about Black Holes. He describes it as the end of determinism:
Determinism, in philosophy, theory that all events, including moral choices, are completely determined by previously existing causes. Determinism is usually understood to preclude free will because it entails that humans cannot act otherwise than they do. The theory holds that the universe is utterly rational because complete knowledge of any given situation assures that unerring knowledge of its future is also possible. http://www.britannica.com/topic/determinism
The reality is that the truth lies somewhere in between the extremes predicated by determinism. The circumstances that place us in a position to act, both physically and morally, are in fact a result of previously existing causes. However, it does not completely negate free will. While the circumstances that lead to any given number of choices is fixed against you, your own individual decision or choice remains yours alone. Therefore, free will is still intact. What Hawkings suggests is that Black holes completely demolish our currently held concepts about the universe and ourselves. This breakdown of rationality within the box of materialism will cause an identity crisis.
Many of the alternative philosophies mentioned earlier all seem to have one common thread. That is of seeking perfection. The idea that mankind can achieve a higher state of being has been the driving force for all metaphysical philosophies. In fact, what maybe uncomfortable for some is the fact that the Bible even promises of mankind’s eventual restoration to a state of existence seated next to God. The biggest difference between the gospel solution and the solution provided by the rest of occult and mystic philosophies is the method by which that higher state is achieved. The phrase “works based salvation” is familiar to the church. It is an apt title for the broader sense of the difference between the gospel and the rest. The Christian who is born-again believes that his own sin was placed upon the shoulders of Jesus Christ when he was beaten and killed on the cross. Jesus, being the God man was the only person who could carry the sin of all mankind. And on the third day, God demonstrated through the bodily resurrection of Jesus that we also as believers have a similar destination. What is remarkable about this event and what is told to us in the Bible, is that the very power over nature, over creation, and over death that was demonstrated by God in the resurrection of Jesus, lives in us!
9But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Ephesians 8:9-11
Our identities are rooted in Jesus Christ and the gospel message. This power described in Ephesians 8 is beyond human understanding, which means it is beyond time and space in the confines of determinism. Hawkings, in introducing the breakdown of information, posits a transcendent answer. One that cannot be provided by any methods of mans mystical, occult, philosophical, Scientific, or technological means. This brings us back to the discussion of technology. Specifically concerning virtual realities.
The virtual realities we have constructed are very much illusory. With the advent of virtual technologies to access these created spaces through our senses, we have already altered how we experience reality. This massive social movement towards the access of these technologies opens up collective gateways into virtual spaces. In this space, ideas and imaginations are “brought to life” in a digital reconstruction.
The Harvard Gazzette article titled ‘Hawking at Harvard’ suggests of information in Black Holes, “To understand whether that information is in fact lost, or whether it can be recovered [in/from a black hole], Hawking and colleagues, including Andrew Strominger, the Gwill E. York Professor of Physics at Harvard, are currently working to understand “supertranslations” to explain the mechanism by which information is returned from a black hole and encoded on the hole’s “event horizon.””
The “information” as discussed earlier in this book, is non-physical in origin, but also, informs the shape/effects of physical reality. The methods that astronomers use to come up with properties of the Black Hole are by collecting data (information) gathered from the far reaches of space, and reconstructing the data (information) here on earth. This form of reconstruction is at the heart of the bridge between the supernatural and natural realms. Enter the discussion of CERN.
In around 2009, when CERN and the LHC hit the public newswire, there were expressed concerns with its potential consequences of conducting experiments of such magnitude. Among the concerns, was the fear that it would create Black Holes. From the CERN website:
Microscopic black holes
Another way of revealing extra dimensions would be through the production of “microscopic black holes”. What exactly we would detect would depend on the number of extra dimensions, the mass of the black hole, the size of the dimensions and the energy at which the black hole occurs. If micro black holes do appear in the collisions created by the LHC, they would disintegrate rapidly, in around 10-27 seconds. They would decay into Standard Model or supersymmetric particles, creating events containing an exceptional number of tracks in our detectors, which we would easily spot. Finding more on any of these subjects would open the door to yet unknown possibilities. http://home.cern/about/physics/extra-dimensions-gravitons-and-tiny-black-holes
Without revealing whether they have actually achieved microscopic black holes, they suggest great knowledge of how it all works. To connect one dot to another, consider the fact that CERN analyses their data through something they call “digital reconstruction.” It was recently reported that CERN have made 300 Terabytes of data available for the public to dissect and wade through. On their own website, CERN says that they are “digitally reconstructing” the data retrieved over the course of the last few years. Given the fact that the LHC can create brief black holes, and with the recent news that black holes are portals into alternate realities, is it possible that the digital reconstruction will yield a virtual reality that we did not create? Such a possibility would confirm alternate realities, accessible through the virtual platform. And is it possible that the reason why Jesus will have to bring about a New Heaven and New Earth is because these openings will cause great chaos for creation?
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, we can see that the there are some very curious connections between CERN, the ancient Tower of Babel, Black Holes, and Virtual realities. They bring up massive questions about what humanity is building, why, and who might have assisted in the knowledge and development of such technologies. The implications of ancient text suggest that there was help from the “Watchers” and/or other forms of non-physical, supernatural/spiritual intelligence that guided the process. And while this idea echoes throughout ancient mythologies, it is remarkable to consider the possibility that something very similar (if not more crazy) is happening today! Science fiction is no longer as titillating as science fact. Reality has become revised!
We may never know exactly what was going on back in the time of Genesis 11 or how things will unfold in these highly strange times we are living in. But we can be certain that God is in control, and that He will use such devices of the enemy to bring about His ultimate will. No doubt, the words of Jesus and His prophecies about the end times begin to sound very interesting and true.
And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened. ~Matthew 24:22
Could the development of such devices as the Large Hadron Collider be a strong indication, that we live once again in the days of Noah (which lasted beyond the flood), and the days of Lot? Could we be on the brink of re-discovering an occult science that will usher in the beast system once and for all, and trigger the events of when God promised His Second Coming? ↑
