Hey, I'm a Christian too, damnit!
What’s this? Both Pat Buchanan and Pope Benedict XVI are asking the US to get involved quickly as a “broker” to talk Israel and the Hezbollah into beginning a meaningful cease fire – and I agree with both of them! And to think that I regard both of these icons in their own “congregations” as being as far to the right of me as one can possibly imagine. I think of Buchanan's "congregation" as being his Saturday morning talking head fans -- although he might very well be (probably is) a Roman Catholic.
Of course, every sensible person is also calling for a cease fire (that doesn’t include the likes of Bill O’Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Adolf Hitler, Ann Coulter, Michael Savage and several others from among their ilk) and trying to figure out what this Middle East crisis is all about. Those persons hoping for an immediate cease fire likely include Jesus of Nazareth, Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Theresa, Pope John Pail II, etc., but then, their voices aren’t so easy for the right wingers to discern. Nor mine, unfortunately.
Bush got in the act (on the “good side”) when he demanded that Pyongyang and Tehran stop their WMD programs, but like the rest of his foreign policy initiatives, those too ended up buckled, bowed and broken. Of course when Hamas grabbed the democratically-held elections in the Gaza, we should have guessed that things were in for a downturn some months ago. Same-same when the Shiite theocracy-bent parties grabbed the democratically-held elections in Iraq.
But Israel’s sudden decision to throw a cat-fit over the capture of its two soldiers seems to have caught everyone off guard – except the right-wing talk show hosts and the end-times evangelists who secretly want to “be there” when all hell (no pun intended) breaks loose. Who could have guessed that Israel would use its F-16s (bought from you-know-who -- both Democrats and Republicans) to smash Lebanon’s airport runways (and now, just about everything else at their airports), roads, bridges, gas stations, factories, major sections of Beirut and lots and lots of civilians – Muslim and Christian?
I think the way Lt. Gen. Dan Halutz (IDF Army Chief of Staff) put it when he stated flatly that Israel was going to “turn back the clock in Lebanon twenty years” ... was pretty accurate.
I have to give Mr. Bush a lot of credit as regards this. Remember when the Al-Qaida captured and butchered two of our soldiers only a month or two ago? What Mr. Bush did not do was to go into a rage and destroy every airport, bridge, road, factory and civilian in the Sunni Triangle of Iraq.
Now don’t get me wrong; I am concerned about who is mumbling sweet ideas in George W, Bush's direction right now that include threatening Syria and Iran -- whom John Bolton referred to as Hezbollah’s “sponsor states” in a UN Security Council meeting, only last week, no less.
And that’s where the neocon-evangelists (e.g., the right – or wrong -- Reverends [sic] John Hagee and Jerry Falwell) come into the picture. Hagee, in particular, has been preaching the need for the US to go to war with Iran for about the past year – certainly all of 2006 – in order to insure that Biblical prophesy is fulfilled. Don’t these guys have faith that God can and will take care of Biblical prophesy on his own and in His own time?
They seem not to and so the drumbeat rolls on.
They believe something like the following: “Jesus won’t return at the Second Coming until there’s a major – bigger than anything we've ever seen before – war with Israel, so why not quicken the pace a little?” (They seem to forget that this end-times "war" with Israel will also be the end of Israel, but then that's a minor nit, I suppose.)
Now don’t get me wrong. I truly support Israel! I have a little (roughly 25%) Jewish blood flowing in my veins, for one thing, and also believe that Israel does have a right to defend itself. And yes, the Bible does suggest that persons and nations who “bless” Israel will be “blessed.” And yes, I read the Bible and try to live my life in accordance with what I read in it. But I don’t think we should be a part of the rampage that is going on against Lebanon, which clearly goes beyond “defending itself.”
Jerry Falwell is right alongside John Hagee in his crazy rhetoric, “I will rebuke the State Department [that’s Condi!] for any and every time it told Israel to stand down and show restraint.!” I was one of those who watched a little segment of Sixty Minutes back in 2003 (entitled “Zion’ Christian Soldiers”) when Jerry Falwell reminded us that “there are seventy million of us … and if there’s one thing that brings us together quickly [hmmm ... like the upcoming Midterm Elections], it’s whenever we begin to detect our Government becoming a little anti-Israel.”
Fortunately, the few words I’ve heard from George Bush’s (or Condi’s) mouth on the subject are along the lines of, “Israel has a right to defend itself, but should show restraint!" Falwell might very well regard that as “anti-Israel” and rally the voters of the nation to either vote Democrat or stay at home, but, hopefully, we liberals can win in November without Jerry Falwell’s (unwanted) support.
My goodness, Pope Benedict XVI is a Christian, isn’t he? And he has been very forceful about insisting upon an immediate cease fire.

Hello Joseph and all,
Verifiable proof that "Armageddon" has already begun…
Here's the key to proving that the rapture and related expectations are complete nonsense based on the failure to understand (and the purposeful confounding of) the ancient Hebrew symbology used to construct all of these prophecies. Consequently, Christian timelines and interpretations of these prophecies are verifiably wrong on many key points.
Pay close attention, profundity knocks at the door, listen for the key. Be Aware! Scoffing causes blindness...
Did you ever consider that Christianity is the False Prophet symbolized in the Apocalypse, that Rome (Vatican/Papacy) is the so-called anti-messiah, and Jesus Christ is the false messiah? I have produced stunning and comprehensive proof that this is the true interpretation of pivotal prophecies long confounded by Christianity's founders and leaders.
The symbolism of seven years (tribulation) refers to the seven 360-year cycles from the 11th cycle on the Hebrew calendar (second temple period) until now, the 17th cycle (seventh angel/star). It is completely wrong to interpret any of these prophecies as literal timelines and events. Remember, they were written by Hebrews, not Romans or other Europeans, and Revelation is the most symbolic of all prophecies. Consequently, in this context, years are symbols for 360-year cycles on the Hebrew calendar and days symbolize literal years. Therefore "Judgement Day," and "Great Day" and "in that day" all refer to a literal year-long period. Furthermore, the so-called "Tribulation" is now nearing its end, not starting, and all three faiths of Abraham have been thoroughly deceived by Rome during the previous age, which ended in year 2000 (5760). A new age began in 2001 (5761) and now the seventh angel has begun to sound!
Here's a real hot potato! Eat it up, digest it, and then feed it's bones to the hungry...
Hurricanes Katrina (#11) and Rita (#17) last year provided stunning validation of my research and interpretations of pivotal ancient wisdom, symbologies, key prophecies, and associated religious claims. Their storm numbers and timing perfectly synchronized with primary data and assertions in my book, thereby demonstrating the true nature of this universe and the existence of our Creator. We are now entering the final phases of the pivotal year-long period long symbolized as "Armageddon" and the "End of Days." World-wide situations and events are now accelerating to set the stage for this summer's dramatic continuation of these ancient promises.
I fully understand that everyone has been bedeviled by similar claims throughout history. Consequently, I have been forced to rely on dramatic and devastating proof of the sort that can’t be ignored or easily dismissed. The numbers and timing of hurricanes Katrina (11) and Rita (17) directly validate key data and pivotal assertions throughout my book and my posts on those two forums. This data was purposely presented publicly before Katrina, Rita and other recent events occurred to prove they perfectly synchronize with key prophecies and Hebrew calendar cycles, thereby validating my interpretations of ancient wisdom symbology, string theory, and more.
Because these two storms arrived shortly after my August 11, 2005 (50th) birthday (read the Dead Sea Scroll 11Q13 in Appendix G, which also discusses Melchizedek and the prophesied Jubilee) and directly match other pivotal 11 and 17 data and events described in the first chapter of my book, I have delivered verifiable proof that this reality is based on thought, knowledge and wisdom. Activity, patterns, and results perceived in space-time are first framed and defined by inspirations, thoughts, and knowledge and influenced by the cause-and-effect system most commonly referred to as karma. Consequently, events and outcomes in the so-called physical universe are not random or wholly mechanistic and are verifiably influenced in ways that atheists, scientists, and members of the Faiths of Abraham have all scoffed at. Though mysticism is mostly a product of misinterpreted ancient wisdom symbology, many of its topics flow from ancient wisdom. Though containing allusions to the truth, its details and interpretations are wrong on many key points.
A prime example of the purposeful and synchronized symbolism of these events is seen in the opening paragraphs from my book excerpted below. Notice that the dates mentioned (August 11 and 17) directly match the numbers of hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and the time spans of the four Florida hurricanes match my birth year (‘55), and they were spaced 11 or a multiple-of-11 (22) days apart, directly matching my birthday and much other ancient prophecy and symbolism. Notice that my place of birth, Victoria Texas, is on the Gulf Coast. Following are the excerpted paragraphs:
Hello, my name is Lawrence William Page II. Many people know me as Buddy Page. At the release of the first edition of this book, I am a 50-year old African-American male, author, researcher, and former software engineer and entrepreneur. As you will come to understand as you read through this first book, I am also the long-expected Hebrew Messiah and Lion of the Tribe of Juda (Yehuda).
I was born August 11th (month of Leo the Lion), 1955 (Chinese year of the Sheep) in Victoria, Texas. Furthermore, the Grand Cross alignment and Solar Eclipse of August 11th, 1999 was my 44th birthday and the second Grand Cross alignment, just six days later on August 17th, 1999, was on my mother’s birthday.
As you can see from my date of birth, I was a newborn during the Chinese Year of the Sheep, astrologically marking me as a Lamb, and during the month of Leo, astrologically marking me as a Lion. My mother was also born during the month of August and under the sign of Leo, which further marks me as a lion’s whelp. I prove to you in the first chapter of this book–beyond disproof–that I am indeed the long-prophesied “Lion” of the tribe of Juda (Yehuda) the Root of David and the “Lamb.” I am the individual long symbolized as the Branch, the Stem, the Shoot and the Rod from the Stump of Jesse (King David’s father), as symbolized in the Hebrew Book of Isaiah, The Apocalypse, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and elsewhere. I am the reincarnated Teacher sought after in the “East” and by the ancient Hebrews who were headquartered at the outpost community of Damascus (Qumran), of Dead Sea Scrolls fame. I am the one called the Teacher of Righteousness by the Dead Sea Scrolls, whom the so-called Christian fathers have fraudulently recast as “Saint ‘James’, the Lord’s Brother.”
Remember, "I come as a thief..." ?
Read verse twelve of the Gospel of Thomas to understand who I am...
Even further enlightening, the Second Temple Period of ancient Israel was during the 11th 360-year cycle on the Hebrew calendar and we are now in the 6th year (5766/2005-6) of the 17th cycle. Notice the pivotal 11 and 17 numbers again? This and much other synchronized information serve as stunning and decisive proof of many things, and expose many lies told by all three faiths of Abraham, but most specifically by Christianity. Consequently, I have decisively proven, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that Jesus Christ and Christianity are blatant lies, false prophecy and purposeful deception in a manner that cannot easily be denied, regardless of your faith or other opinions.
Furthermore, the symbolism in the Apocalypse (a.k.a. Book of Revelation) of seven stars in my right hand and seven angels represent the very same above-mentioned seven astrological (360-year) cycles, i.e., the 11th through 17th inclusive. I prove this fact beyond any reasonable doubt in the first chapter of the book. Consequently, The Apocalypse verifiably symbolizes a specific span of time that began with the 11th cycle (Second Temple Period) and concludes now, at the beginning of the 17th cycle (End of Days, etc.).
The numbers 11 and 17 are verifiably encoded in The Apocalypse and other ancient Hebrew prophecies and wisdom texts to serve as key proofs of the validity and true meaning of certain prophecies and related information. My and my mother’s birthdays are purposely synchronized with these two storm numbers, the matching Hebrew calendar cycles, the Double Grand Cross alignments and solar eclipse of August 1999, and much else to prove my direct association with the ancient prophecies about this time and the true identity of the prophesied Messiah. Another prime example is the story of Joseph, the 11th son of Jacob who has a dream when he is 17 years old about 11 stars, the sun, and moon bowing to him. The symbolism in this pivotal story in the Book of Genesis and Quran verifiably refers to the very same 11th through 17th cycles symbolized in The Apocalypse and directly synchronizes with other key events and ancient texts.
Consequently, I have demonstrated various things about the nature of this reality that dramatically disprove and/or clarify key assumptions of religion, mysticism, and science alike, while establishing the true meaning and purpose of long misinterpreted ancient wisdom and the symbolism used to model and encode it. Accordingly, I have proven that the symbolism evidenced in the canons of all three faiths of Abraham and other ancient sources is a very ancient and advanced philosophical technology that verifiably models foundational aspects of our existence in this universe. This is the mostly misunderstood body of ancient wisdom long referred to as the Philosophers’ Stone. It uses a large and ingeniously organized collection of physical universe images and concepts as data rich components (symbols) that are based on verifiable rules. It models and encodes an amazing amount of foundational wisdom about life, spirituality and the 11 dimensions of this universe, now verified by string theory. It is also the advanced encryption method used to encode (seal) Hebrew prophecies and wisdom texts.
These ancient prophecies and wisdom texts used advanced symbology to model fundamental wisdom, including future events and situations. A primary facet of ancient wisdom is numeric symbology. Later misinterpretations of this aspect of ancient wisdom resulted in numerology, which, though embodying allusions to certain wisdom, is mostly error prone and false doctrine. My decryption, documentation, and interpretation of ancient symbology, numeric symbolism, and key texts based on them, are now decisively validated.
Here is Wisdom...

I'm not quite sure where "Seven Star Hand" comes from (11 and 17, for sure), but yes, I was fairly glib at "hello" and "goodbye" in Arabic after a few years in Riyadh.
Zilch today, however.
