Subj: RE: Answer to: "Why does earth seem to be recently under a shield? Date: 98-12-24 04:59:11 EST From: rac474@primary.net (Richard Coombes) To: phikent@aol.com Kent, You ask the following question on your website: Is anyone else troubled by wild hunches? Why does earth seem to be recently under a shield. While I can't give you an absolute answer... please consider the following... I am a Biblical Scholar and author of a new book, "America, The Babylon"... a book on critical analysis of the Hebrew and Greek texts of Biblical prophecy regarding the identification of the term "mystery Babylon". As a result of my 11 years of research on that subject and more than 30 years of theological studies I thought it important to share some insights with Richard C. Hoagland regarding the EQ Pegasus issue... especially regarding the Reverse Speech references and Hoagland's Pentagon source who referenced the term "SAMSON" and its apparent relationship to a Project SAMSON. Hoagland on his website made reference to the Sumerian meaning of the term. I contacted Hoagland to let him know the full Hebrew Lexical definition from the two main Hebrew Lexicons which are: 1. H.W.F. Gesenius Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon 2. Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew-English Lexicon NOW... Why should this matter to you and what is this relationship to your question?? ANSWER: The Original Biblical Hebrew term for SAMSON is the word "SHIM SHOWN"...or "Shim-shown" (Strong's Concordance reference #8123) Now, if you're not a Hebrew scholar... you can take that reference #... go to your local library and ask for those two lexicons listed above... look up...that reference # -- 8123... If you go to Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the King James Version of the Bible and go to the back of the book to the Hebrew Dictionary...find that word #... It will tell you it is from a root word #8121-- Shemesh or shamesh... "from an unused root, 'to be brilliant'... i.e. the sun; by implication the east. figuratively: a ray, i.e. the arch or a notched battlement." Now... Both lexicons will pretty much say the same thing but Brown-Driver-Briggs (B-D-B) adds also the following... "a pinnacle, as glittering, shining; or as referenced in Isaiah 54:12... 'I will make your battlements of rubies, thy pinnacle orbattlements of Zion'" Psalm 84:11 ... the word is used also as a "shield"... see the New American Standard Bible... "For the Lord God is a sun and shield". The word can reference the sun or a brilliant light... and its secondary usage of meaning is that of a battlement or shield... such as in the Psalm 84:11 reference. Now... the Hoagland contact referred to Project Samson. Hoagland thought it was a reference to a Babylonian sun-god Shamesh... I contacted Hoagland to say that I think in reality... the Pentagon may have used it for its secondary meaning as a battlement or shield in space. NOW... you comment about "why does the earth seem to be under a shield"? This cryptic reference to Project Samson may be a reference to a "shield" program... perhaps indeed connected to the solar activity, and its usage by the Pentagon for perhaps a Project which it refers to as "Samson" may be connected more to its Hebrew root usage. Thus, the project could possibly be typifying the root word meaning for a "shield"... in what capacity one can only speculate. PERHAPS, this will shed some light on the question you raise. Incidentally, my book deals with Biblical Prophetic writings that indicate an intergalactic war is in the works and portions of that war are about to manifest on Planet Earth...and specifically will involve a "surprise attack" on a city/state/nation called..."Mystery Babylon". My book goes into great analytical detail using the Hebrew/Greek Analysis which identifies Babylon as the United States of America. My approach is no different than those who attempt to understand and translate Nostradamus. The difference is that instead of my content being the writings of Nostradamus, mine are the Biblical writings. It appears that Angelic beings will be the ones conducting the surprise attack on America. It describes the attackers as being angelic and coming from the farthest reaches of the Universe. I provide a list 33 identifying character traits which helps us to identify this nation. There is another list of 66 traits which I place in the form of a quiz in Appendix 1. All told, there are so many identifying traits...and they all point to America. This event is likened to the judgment of Sodom and Gomorrah...and it will be total destruction and take an hour to complete. It will also trigger the rise to power of the "Antichrist". It also describes this Babylon as having outer space defensive capabilities that will be destroyed first. It also uses the hebrew term "nasa". I think this destruction will bring about a spin-meister doctrine that ... "bad, and evil aliens have destroyed America" thereby providing an incentive to the world to unite as one nation to battle the 'evil aliens'... when in reality... the destroyers were the good guys in white hats... attempting to thwart the satanic forces intent on taking over America...for Revelation 18:2 in the Greek uses the term "phulake" to describe three different ranks or species of the satanic-angelic realm that will have physical military bases of operations within the nation of Babylon/America... i.e. a reference to places like "Area 51"... among others... including Brookhaven Labs, and Montauk Naval Air Station...on Long Island...both are next door to ... Babylon, Long Island... which is the only community on earth to have ever taken the name Babylon since the demise of ancient Babylon. Also, the Statue of Liberty is an artistic rendering of the Babylonian goddess Ishtar... as scultped by Bartholdi, a Freemason... who claimed it was his representation of the Roman goddess Libertas...but in my research, the Romans borrowed the goddess of freedom concept from Babylon's Ishtar... a.k.a. in Egypt as Isis. Ditto applies to the statue atop the US Capitol Dome... the Statue of Freedom... whose masonic sculptor also fashioned after the Roman goddess Libertas. Also, the US Capitol itself is a replica of the Roman Pagan Temple, the Pantheon...but the Romans borrowed the concept from Babylon, which was the most popular temple of Babylonia and was dedicated to all the gods of Babylon. Also, the second most popular Temple in all of Babylonia was called the WHITE HOUSE ! I mention the masonic aspects because Masonry likes to think it connects as far back as Egypt and her gods/goddesses... but the Egyptians borrowed the deities like Ishtar (Venus) and Marduk (Mars). Ishtar was Isis in Egypt, and Marduk was Horus. When we look at the written data in the Biblical Prophetic writings... we find out that some of the most interesting character traits that identify this future Babylon include... a laundry list of top commodities which this nation is the key trader of ... including Gold, Silver and Copper... of which all are more heavily traded on the New York Commodities Exchange (Comex) in one day, than all the rest of the world combined. Also, there is a laundry of list of about 20 other items. In addition to those... we find that the chief city of this nation... is a deep-water port city... where all the leaders of the world assemble and meet together. We also find that she is referred to as the "World's Policeman"... "The Last of the Super Power Nations"... and also is a "Super Power". She employs a foreign policy tactic (Hebrew idiom: "that sendeth ambassadors by the sea"= gunboat diplomacy)... of gunboat diplomacy with a hebrew reference to the notion of aerial travel... (as in aircraft carriers?). She is also to be home to much of the world's Jewish population. She is the "engine of wealth for the world's economy". Noted for being a land of immigrants. Land of abundant fresh waters. Has an outer space program. Cultural insanity. Has a problem with drugs and drug use. Land of rebels in its birth, and had a different heritage than other nations...and had a unique and remarkable beginning. She is also referred to as being both respected-envied and yet at the same time is hated also by those same folks that respected-envied her. (Yankee go home --- but give us your foreign aid...but don't bomb us, nor embargo us). Her leaders are noted for being deceit-filled. She is described as being a wasteful nation, and extravagant in overconsumption. She is the nation that is like no other...and after she is gone... the lament is... no other nation will ever reach her levels of success. "what nation was ever like this nation"... Those are just some of the character traits of this nation. When will all of this happen?? Who knows... but ... with all of this activity of strange objects wandering around within eyesight of our solar satellites lately... and with all of the other UFO activities... one can only speculate... BUT... one prophecy has already been fulfilled which becomes a time-marker for the time frame of all the other prophecies about to be fulfilled... In Matthew 24... Jesus indicates that Israel would be destroyed by the Romans... and the Jews would be dispersed again into the gentile world...but at some future point, when she is restored back to the land... the generation which witnesses that restoration...will not die out...till all the other prophecies are fulfilled regarding His Return. This return to the land by the Jews is marked at either May 15th, 1948 or... June 6, 1967... when Israel retook all of the city of Jerusalem in the 6 Day war. So, it could be anytime now, or it could be anytime before the generation which witnessed the 1967 takeover of Jersusalem dies out...say in another 30 years max?? Just some food for thought for your consideration... kind of interesting anyway, isn't it? Rick Coombes America, The Babylon: America's Destiny Foretold in Biblical Prophecy
