1776 was not only an important year in American History, but a clock ticking downward 13 cycles of time ending in the year 2012. This is when a prophecy encoded on the Great Seal about the return of Osiris/Apollo may be fulfilled, and a new pagan age begins.

The world is presently consumed with the dynamics of the Mayan Prophesy.  In general, the excitement (or anxiety) encompasses a variety of predictions.  According to the experts, we are destined towards a global upheaval when Earth and  her inhabitants undergo an unprecedented moment in time marked by the fast approaching end of the Mayan 13th Baktun Long Count.  

In 2006, NASA, in connection with the National Center for Atmospheric Research, published a report prepared by Mausumi Dikpati  announcing the inevitable probability of  apocalyptic solar flares destined to zap Earth in 2012. The grave repercussions of these powerful solar flares will be extensive; one of the most dangerous resulting in the destruction of the magnetic grid world-wide.  

Internationally recognized researcher and writer, Tom Horn recently made his own breakthrough when his research surrendered a startling revelation.  In his fascinating novel - 'Apollyon Rising 2012'   he exposes one of the biggest secrets of the global 'elite' and their push for a 'New World Order' in the year 2012. 

This secret has been hidden in plain sight for over two-hundred years.  It can be witnessed in Washington DC and at the Vatican.  It supports what numerous ancient societies (and there were plenty according to Horn) have prophesized:  the 'gods' are returning to Earth, heralding the start of a new pagan Golden Age!

Much of the published work by Horn in Apollyon Rising 2012 seems to be unprecedented.  His research uncovered a collection of books written in medieval Aramaic over seven hundred years ago.  Included was the 'Vaera' - a section of the Zohar that  announces  the coming of the Messiah ( the heralding Mashiach) with the fascinating date for 'his' appearance set in late 2012.

Horn provides the surprising connections between the United States and the Mayans.  It is the layout of Washington D.C. and the secret symbolism of its immediate structures, specifically the Capital Dome and Obelisk, as well as the Great Seal of the United States that are most fascinating!  They are the groundwork for 'the true lost symbol' which Dan Brown completely missed. 

The 'Dome' symbol is the ancient structural representation of the womb of Isis and the Obelisk symbolizes the erect male phallus of Osiris. How this is connected to the year 2012 and the return of Osiris/Apollo/Nimrod in 'Apollyon Rising 2012'  is very  disturbing . . .  

In his book, Horn discusses how the god (Apollo) is identified in several places in the New Testament as the 'spirit' that will inhabit the Antichrist and give rise to the novus ordo seclorum or 'new order of the ages' -  exactly what the Maya, Toltec, Aztec, Cherokee and others said will occur in the year 2012.

Using the symbolic structures of the Dome (womb) and Obelisk (phallus) in both locations (Rome and Washington D.C.) it has been the endeavor of the Masons to  resurrect the 'spirit' that will inhabit the Antichrist by engaging in a secret ritual.   Every president since George Washington has been 'apotheosized' in this ritual in hopes of resurrecting the pagan god Apollo to reside within his body.  No doubt this ritual is also performed at the Vatican with each pope. 

It seems most of them (founding fathers) had one thing in common. They were all members of the Lodge and believed America was created to be the New Atlantis, a pagan land of esoteric wisdom destined to usher in the Masonic Messiah.  If  you are confused because you thought that America was created as a Christian nation under God . . . you will have to face reality.  Where are the statues of Jesus and the Apostles? There aren't any.  Instead, similar to the Vatican, Washington D.C. is fraught with Egyptian and Greek gods, gargoyles and pagan idols. Its streets are constructed around a satanic pentagram and its centerpiece is a 6,666 inch high - 666-inch wide Egyptian obelisk called the Washington Monument!  (Interesting how the number '666' appears.)

The end date of the Mayan calendar is December 21, 2012 ( Winter Solstice) when the Sun will align with the galactic center of the Milky Way at  11:11 GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) - an event that only occurs every 13 thousand years.  It will also conclude a 26 thousand year cycle (Precession of the Equinoxes) bringing the Astrological Age of Pisces to an end as it ushers in the Age of  Aquarius.

Mayans made predictions based on the terrestrial and celestial cycles as did the Aztec and Inca.  So far, the only known Mayan inscription that elaborates on the specific significance behind the end of the 13th Baktun of December 21, 2012 was discovered on Monument 6 at Tortuguero, Tabasco, Mexico. Though defaced from area construction and looting of the archaeological location, scholars were able to partially translate the monument, finding that it refers to year 2012 and the return of Bolon Yokte K’u, the underworld lord who represents the Solar System and his nine support gods.

The Maya are not alone in their 2012 predictions.  Cherokee Indians also made a series of apocalyptic prophecies ('Cherokee Rattlesnake Prophecies' - AKA  the 'Chickamaugan Prophecy/Cherokee Star Constellation Prophecies') during 1811-1812. The prophecies are very similar to Meso-American beliefs, and are interpreted as the return of the feathered serpent god, Quetzalcoatl.  Like the Maya, the Cherokee Calendar ends mysteriously in the year 2012 when astronomical phenomena related to Jupiter, Venus, Orion, and the Pleiades cause the 'powers' of the star systems to awaken.

Horn provides evidence that early Freemasons were aware of the Meso-American belief system and the significance of the Calendar end date of 2012.  Incorporated into the design of the Capital Dome, it can be vividly observed in the commissioned artwork of Constantino Brumidi.

Born in Rome, Italy on July 26, 1805,  Brumidi was an Italian/Greek painter who made his name restoring sixteenth century Vatican frescos and his artwork in several Roman palaces. Following the French occupation of Rome in 1849, Brumidi immigrated to the United States and became a citizen.  He worked for the  Jesuits in New York who were viewed as the 'hidden power and authority' of the Roman Catholic Church.  In 1854, the Jesuits abruptly financed a trip for Brumidi to visit Mexico.  While there, he painted a representation of the Holy Trinity in the Mexican City Cathedral.  However, he was also engaged in the curious task of making copious notes of the ancient Aztec Calendar Stone (AKA -  the 'Stone of the Sun').

Upon his return from Mexico, Brumidi met with Quartermaster Gen. Montgomery C. Meigs, Supervisor of Construction to whom he submitted his collection of notes and drawings.  Commissioned to be the 'government painter' he began adorning the hallways and Rotunda of the Capitol with frescos sacred to Freemasonry which included the 'Apotheosis of George Washington' and the famous 'Frieze of American History'.   Brumidi died in 1880 but not before he attached his historic work called 'Cortez and Montezuma at Mexican Temple'  featuring the Aztec Calendar Stone and other important Masonic symbolism.   During the pinnacle of Aztec civilization when the Aztec ruled Mexico, the Stone rested atop the Tenochtitlan Temple in the midst of the most powerful and largest city in Meso-America. Today, the 'Stone of the Sun' is on display in the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City’s Chapultepec Park.

The remarkable and unexpected Masonic connection between the establishment of   the United States - 1776 - and the Mayan end date of 2012 - is the link between the number 'thirteen' found on the steps of the unfinished pyramid on the American dollar bill as well as other esoteric symbolism.  

If you didn't know what America's founding fathers believed, our paper money is a dead giveaway. It revolves around Egyptian and occult deities, specifically the Sun god, with the all-seeing eye representing Osiris and the unfinished capstone of the Great Pyramid awaiting its finishing touch from the Masonic Messiah.

Horn provides strong evidence that the Mayan 13 cycles that began in the year 1776 and end in the year 2012 formed the basis of the 13 steps of the unfinished pyramid on the Great Seal of the United States.

"It is no coincidence that the start and ending dates of the final thirteen Katuns of the Meso-American Mayan Long Count  Calendar are reflected in the thirteen steps of the pyramid on the United States’ Great Seal. Furthermore, that the steps of the pyramid were intended to convey units of time has been an open secret for many years," Horn claims.

Though he was not sure what to make of it himself, Paul Foster Case agreed with this concept many years ago, writing:

"Since the date, 1776, is placed on the bottom course of the pyramid, and since the number thirteen has been so important in the symbolism of the seal, it is not unreasonable to suppose that the thirteen courses of the pyramid may represent thirteen time periods."

Additional Considerations

When the Sun rises in the sign of Sagittarius - November 22nd - December 21st ( the Centaur with a bow), it is a symbol of Nimrod coming out of the mouth of Leviathan. Horn suggests that Nimrod became a Nephilim in the Bible when his DNA was altered.  How did he cross the line from human to alien?  And what was his reason for constructing the Tower of Babel?  Will he be brought back to life in a laboratory one day and assume the role of the Antichrist? The scientific community is already working on bringing a Wooly Mammoth and Siberian Tiger back to life. Why not a satanic resurrection next? The countdown to December 21, 2012, continues. Lucifer's son, the seed of the serpent, may soon appear. 

If nothing else surprises or upsets you, perhaps the painful realization that our government - from its conception - has been officiated by a bunch of negative occult 'wierdos' pretending to be what and who their constituents expected of them . . . while  secretly engaging in pagan rituals - so ridiculous - so evil -  you have to wonder about their sanity.  Is it any wonder why our country is in the state it is at this very moment?

While it is difficult to believe all that Horn has disclosed, we have seen pictures of the 'elite' at Bohemian Grove engaged in their yearly sacrificial ceremony under the giant Owl.  We have heard, read, and viewed other incidents confirming the authenticity of their occult practices.  Therefore, these issues are not  to be taken lightly.  They are  the people ruling the planet.

Are you not shocked to learn that our government is presently engaged in the experimentation of  'trans-genetics' - with expectations of merging animal DNA with human DNA to create a new breed of people to inhabit the planet post 2012.  Ugh!!

Are you not outraged to learn that these mad-men and women are constantly engaged in all types of magical rituals and ceremonies to gain control of the planet?  Are they not insane in believing that because they have constructed the 'props' (Dome and Obelisk) to perform the 'sexual ritual' in Rome and D.C.,  they will eventually be successful in resurrecting the pagan god Apollo to lead and dominate the world in their 'New World Order' scheme?  They are not to be feared.  They are to be confronted . . . and then restrained! 

Horn  tackles other bizarre issues head on.  Did American soldiers find the remains of an ancient Nephilim in the sands of Iraq? Are there scientific efforts underway to clone these ancient giants? Is the Egyptian government conducting secret archeological digs under the Great Pyramid?  What are they looking for?  The questions are numerous . . . and the scene is constantly changing.

As an astrologer, it has always been my understanding that the 'gods' were mythological and represented energies within the human psyche.  The dynamics of these energies could be expressed positively or negatively . . . or both within the same individual.  One always strived for the positive expression.

 
In mythology, Shamash, the Babylonian sun god, is frequently depicted rising between two mountains. Jordan Maxwell has expounded on what he believes the symbolism of 'the rising sun between two mountains' represents  He emphatically believes it is the symbol of communism and domination which is the intention of the New World Order.  He has recently published his newest video on YouTube with his message and why he believes in it so strongly.  However, the mythological inference of the two mountains in this case signifies the boundaries of the world - or as we might say today  . . .  the polarities of consciousness.  The Sun in its most positive expression reconciles the opposites within and serves as the central point or balance between the yin and yang of life. 

There are so many mysteries we may never understand.  The world is very old and so much still remains hidden and redundant with each generation.  Yet, each person has his/her opinion and will guide their life with what they think they know to be true.

I do not worship any of the gods.  I believe in one true GOD - who oversees all and is and always will be -  all powerful, knowing, and loving . . . of his creations . . . including the mentally deranged entities on the planet  - unfortunately.  One can only hope that the activities of the deranged are still in the symbolic stage -  albeit very evil -  but, remember - good always triumphs.  WE must all pull together and fight the insane efforts of those who wish to oppress our freedom and destroy humanity.
