Poseidon: god of Earthquakes - UPDATED

2012: The End of the World? Pt. 4 / Poseidon: god of earthquakes

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3

Last week I wrote an article titled Return to Mt. Olympus: Nothing new under the Sun. In this article I made mention of Poseidon as the Greek god of the seas, and also of Earthquakes. The news of another devastating earthquake measuring 8.8 on the Richter scale in Chile really shook me up (no pun intended), leading me to follow up on the information first presented in the 2012: End of the world? series, in an article titled Earthquakes in diverse places. (With the shocking magnitude of the Chilean quake dominating the news, most of the media neglected to report that a powerful 6.3 temblor shook neighboring Argentina the same day.)That article was written just a day or two after the Haitian earthquake when the death toll was estimated to be around 100,000. Since then the number of fatalities has risen to around 300,000 making it the deadliest ‘natural disaster’ of this century and that of the last. As an aside a spokeswoman for the USGS called the magnitude of the Chilean earthquake ‘alarming’ stating that they only see about one 8.0 earthquake on average per year. To put it in perspective the Chilean earthquake saw a 500 times greater release of energy than the Haitian one back in January, the Richter scale is an exponential scale of measurement. An 8.8 earthquake in a major city like Los Angeles or Tokyo would wreak devastation on an apocalyptic scale. The purpose of the 2012: The End of the World series of articles is to analyze current events in light of the prophecies of Jesus in Matthew 24 regarding the signs that would be seen prior to the end of the world, and his second coming.

• Matthew 24:7: For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

Individual events such as earthquakes and famines, even wars, and epidemics are not uncommon so these signs on their own are not indicative of the end. However when we begin to see all of the above signs occurring on a global scale, then we will know that the end is close at hand. One of the signs that Jesus emphasised that we should look for is the incidence of seismic activity of greater frequency and magnitude. Will such increased activity be a result of ‘natural’ processes or will there be unseen intelligent powers guiding the cataclysms of the apocalypse?
                                                                    
                                 Worlds Invisible and Visible: The ‘gods are real’

• Colossians 1:16: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

Unseen powers guiding human affairs are to be found in the Bible as well as in the myths and legends of all cultures. There is not one nation in the world where people have not believed in non–human entities, greater in intelligence and power than themselves that have played an active role in all facets of their existence. I expounded on the hierarchy of the unseen world as taught in the Bible in a previous article titled 2012: Year of the Dragon??? Has human history been shaped by random ‘forces’ or by intelligent ‘powers’ is a subject of much debate. However the overwhelming evidence of history leaves little doubt that history is anything but a product of random events.

In the movie Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, the child-man hero of the films discovers rather early on that THE GODS ARE REAL! He becomes aware of his own heritage as a demigod, and the fact that the gods still rule the affairs of man from unseen dimensions.  In the days to come people will find out in more than just symbolic fashion that the ‘gods are indeed real’. One day soon, almost certainly in this decade, the President will hold a press conference and announce that they have been in contact with other worldly, extra terrestrial powers that have come to help us save the earth. All the occult themed books, movies and TV shows of the past 50 years have been conditioning mankind to accept these entities as benevolent beings. But in truth these occult ET powers are none other than the ancient ‘gods’ that have plagued mankind since the days of the Garden of Eden, the Bible correctly identifies them as ‘devils’ and ‘evil spirits’.  As observed in my blog for the review of ‘The Lightning Thief’ movie, the three major Greek gods show– pieced in the film correspond directly with the three major spirits, the hidden rulers of evil identified in the Bible, particularly in the book of Revelation. These are the powers that govern the world, the true ‘Shadow Government’, not the human puppets whose bodies these spirits inhabit and whose minds they poison with their venom. Their human ‘hosts’, more often than not, are willing participants in perpetrating evil upon their fellow humans. It is because of these ‘hidden rulers of darkness’ exerting their agenda through their human hosts that the whole world lies in darkness. The human agents for these dark masters gain wealth and power as their (temporary) reward; their permanent reward is eternal damnation.  1 John 5:19: And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

• Zeus the chief of the gods corresponds with Satan himself, Zeus resides in the heavenly realm as does Satan. Jesus made an observation regarding Satan in Luke 10:18: And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. What is Zeus’ symbol? The thunderbolt, a lightning bolt. The movie itself is titled The ‘Lightning’ Thief. Since mythology is Satan’s version of history, he likes to glorify himself and therefore shows himself to be a majestic god rather than a wicked serpentine dragon, a beast that he is in fact.
• Poseidon corresponds with the beast that rises up out of the sea. Revelation 13:1: And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea... In the movie Poseidon is depicted as a 50’ tall giant rising right up out of the sea (I suppose Hollywood cannot show him in his real decrepit evil beast form, only as a handsome ‘devil’).
• Hades, the god of the underworld (Hell) is symbolized by Hollywood. Hollywood promises stardom to people, immortality through celluloid, even while condemning their souls to hell. The entrance to Hades in the movie is right next to the big Hollywood sign, quite appropriate I thought. In one scene Hades is shown as fire breathing dragon, this scene reminded me of Revelation 13:11: And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth (Hades, italics mine); and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon...v 13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.

One does not have to be a rocket scientist to come to the conclusion that the three major devils identified in the book of Revelation are the same as the three major gods of this new movie. As noted earlier in the article the ‘gods are real’ except they are not our Creator nor do they have our welfare at heart. They are plagues, pestilences that will ride upon the land in greater force (and numbers) than ever before in history. So what possible connection might there be between the rise of Poseidon and increase in the magnitude and severity of seismic activity in the earth?  To answer that question it is necessary to understand that whether identified as ‘gods’ or ‘devils’, these creatures are spirit beings, they are intelligent creatures made out of energy not matter. As such they have both the power and technology to influence human behaviour as well as ‘natural processes’. So–called natural processes are caused by application of energy; how else could an earthquake hit, a volcano erupt, or a tsunami arise? Where does the energy come from that causes such powerful events, is it just a random unpredictable force or are there intelligences that control the energy that causes such events? Whether electromagnetic or in some other form the energy that causes such events has to be generated from some source.

‘Climate Change’ (read ‘Weather Modification’) through Technology

As discussed in some of my previous articles, ‘Weather Modification’ is no longer the realm of witch doctors or science–fiction, it is a proven fact that governments across the world are actively engaged in such activities, from the Chinese wanting snowfall to the Russians not wanting snowfall to the Indians wanting rain; God only knows which other nations are trying to play God with the weather! William Cohen, former secretary of defence under Bill Clinton did make mention of the abilities of ‘others’ to engage in environmental terrorism, here’s a quote from a speech he gave in 1997 at a counter – terrorism conference, "Others are engaging in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves. ... So there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon other nations. It's real, and that's the reason why we have to intensify our efforts."

As the above quote from Defense Secretary William Cohen proves man has already developed technologies to cause ‘natural disasters’, Mr. Cohen emphatically stated that such technologies are ‘REAL’. Did man recently invent such technologies or are such technologies ancient inventions that are merely being rediscovered? The use of advanced technology in the mythologies of all cultures and in the Bible is far too well documented to be dismissed as fiction. It is only now in the light of the advances in sciences that we are beginning to understand that that which was perceived as magic in ages past may only have been the use of advanced technology, especially involving use of various energies such as electric, sound, thermal, laser and nuclear.  

Advanced Technology use documented in mythological texts and The Bible

Zeus’s Thunderbolt	An electricity / energy discharge weapon?
Hermes’ sandals	Allowed supersonic flight – how?
Hades’ helmet	Made the wearer invisible – cloaking device?
The Mantle of Arthur	Made the wearer invisible – cloaking device?
Poseidon’s Trident	Caused earthquakes when struck on the ground – some type of directed energy weapon?
Various magical swords / spears / armor / shields	Excalibur, Odin’s magic spear, Achilles’ impenetrable armor, Zeus’ Aegis (a shield, energy shield like the shields in Star Trek?)
The Vimana of Hindu mythology	Vimana is a Sanskrit word that means flying craft, the word is used even today – ancient aircraft, spacecraft?
Nuclear / Scalar Energy Weaponry in the Mahabharata (Hindu mythology text) Hindu mythology (as well as Greek, Roman, Nordic, Celtic, Norse, Anglo- Saxon and all other mythologies) are FILLED with detailed descriptions of weapons and artifacts that are examples of highly advanced technology. The description of a battle or war in the next column is from The Mahabharata written more than 2000 years ago. The highly technical descriptions and language, are these merely a product of a fertile imagination or a historical account of the use of advanced technology?	"Gurkha, flying a swift and powerful vimana (flying craft) hurled a single projectile (rocket / energy bolt?) charged with the power of the Universe (nuclear device / directed energy weapon?). An incandescent column of smoke and flame, as bright as ten thousand suns (immeasurable energy?), rose with all its splendor. It was an unknown weapon, an iron thunderbolt (exotic energy weapon?), a gigantic messenger of death, which reduced to ashes the entire race of the Vrishnis and the Andhakas. ·         The corpses were so burned as to be unrecognizable. ·         Hair and nails fell out; Pottery broke without apparent cause, and the birds turned white. ·         ...After a few hours all foodstuffs were infected... ·         ...to escape from this fire the soldiers threw themselves in streams to wash themselves and their equipment." Quoted from The Mahabharata
John 8:59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.	This incidence reveals some type of cloaking (Jesus hid himself) and walked right through the crowd who were anxious to stone him, and the crowd could not even see him.
Ezekiel 1:13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.	This appears to be a perfect description of an ‘Organic machine’, it is a living creature yet it is powered by amazing amounts of energy, thermal and electrical, just imagination?
Revelation 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.	This seems to be a perfect example of a Stargate type device, a door (portal) is opened in heaven, and the apostle John is instantly transported from the Isle of Patmos to the city of Heaven, a place we believe lies clear across the known universe.

Spirit beings defined as ‘Intelligent Energies’

I could cite a few hundred examples out of The Bible alone that accurately describe the use of ‘energy’ technologies, the likes of which we are only now beginning to understand are possible to develop. Such weapons can cause earthquakes, they can cause more than earthquakes, and they can literally cause the earth to vaporize. These weapons were invented in ages past and have been used to bring terrestrial and celestial devastation. The supposed extinction of the dinosaurs by an asteroid impact is only fanciful fiction guised as science; previous civilizations on earth were destroyed through interplanetary, perhaps interstellar warfare. These wars were fought with weapons that even George Lucas could hardly begin to imagine, our planet bears many scars and hides much evidence to prove that modern man is the latest not the first intelligent caretaker of the earth. The ‘gods’ who invented such weapons in ages gone by are still governing this world from the spirit dimension, literally the ‘Energy’ dimension as opposed to the ‘Material’ dimension. Matter does not rule energy, energy rules matter. Spirits are in a very literal sense ‘Intelligent Energies’, therefore when the ancients viewed ‘nature’ as living beings with intelligence and personalities, it really is not that far from the truth. They did it in a superstitious manner refusing to understand that these ‘invisible’ spirits or energies, or powers, or forces were themselves subject to the ALMIGHTY, the ALL POWERFUL, the OMNIPOTENT who alone controls all powers, all forces and all energy in the Universe. God the Father, as are all spirit beings, is a being of Pure Energy, not matter.

·         Revelation 4:5: And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

·         Exodus 19:18: And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.

·         Ezekiel 8:2: Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of amber.

Whenever God (Jehovah) is revealed in scripture, He is always portrayed as a being of Energy – Lightning, Thundering, Fire, Brightness, Voices (God is THE WORD – Acoustic, Sonic Energy – ‘And God Said...,)The seven spirits of God are identified as ‘lamps of fire’, and these seven are most likely the seven fundamental energies in all of creation. Since the topic of this article is ‘Earthquakes’, it is interesting to note that in Exodus when God come down upon Mt. Sinai, the Bible tells us that the ‘whole mount quaked greatly’. Psalm 46:6: ...he uttered his voice, the earth melted. Psalm 104:2
Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment. All references in the Bible that are descriptive of God make mention of some form of ‘Energy’, primarily Sound and Light. Angels that are also spirit beings are described as ‘flames of fire’, once again energy, not matter. Psalm 104:4: Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire.

Supernatural ‘Natural Disasters’

Once again Hollywood has done an admirable job of promoting superstition when it comes to the knowledge of the ‘spirit world, the ‘invisible’ world that the Bible tells us exists, and was created by God to serve his purposes. So we do not need to be mystified or cower in fear that there are unseen powers, or spirits, that exert their influences upon the visible world, always in a negative way, or so it would seem. Why these powers, these energies, these spirits, these evil ‘gods’ exist, and how they influence life in the world is a topic beyond the scope of this article. Suffice it is to say that the ‘natural’ world is governed by ‘supernatural’ powers, spirits, energies, forces that have an agenda quite their own. Mythological creatures such as Poseidon who are portrayed as bearers of certain powers and energies are not fictional, they are real, and their Energy or Power is also real. The day of their unveiling, perhaps uncloaking might be a better word, are fast approaching. The closer that day comes the more of their powers will be on display; wreaking havoc, bringing much devastation, and loss of life on a global scale. These spirit forces also work through the agency of man; they are the ones that are giving man the knowledge of the technology that can re–create  ancient weapons such as Poseidon’s Trident that will again shake the earth on a scale not witnessed since modern man was given the charge of replenishing the earth. These are ‘Directed Energy Weapons’ that have moved out of the realm of Sci – Fi and are even available for purchase if someone happens to have a few extra millions lying around, just visit the Direct Energy Weapons 2010 trade show in the UK later this month to place an order. Poseidon’s Trident may well be a HAARP type directed energy ‘weapon’ based in space or on earth that can strike with an invisible force or energy that would be more devastating than a 1000 nuclear bombs. As the following scripture reveals so – called ‘natural disasters’ are always preceded by a release on energy, not randomly, but intelligently directed, it is ‘voiced’, there is thunder and lightning, all of which are forms of energy. Biblically this energy seems to be more of an Electrosonic energy rather than an Electromagnetic energy as suggested by Defense Secretary William Cohen.    

• Revelation 16:18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.

In conclusion I would like to reiterate that though the ‘gods are real’; it is a fact that should make us free rather than make us fearful. Not knowing what is coming or why it must come is a great cause for fear, man has always feared the unknown. However we need not stay in the dark, we have not only been given the knowledge of the ‘invisible’ world, we have been given power over the forces of darkness.  

• Luke 10:19: Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

We can know and understand that though there are unseen forces at work shaping our world; it is not a cause for alarm if we can understand that these forces are not omnipotent. There is only one Omnipotent God, The Almighty, by whom and for whom all things were created and from whom all powers receive their power. If God has chosen to give these evil gods, that in reality are devils, some power for a season, it is not without good reason. In turn these unseen masters of evil work their evil through their human subjects whom they empower. This empowerment includes giving man the knowledge of creating technologies that can create earthquakes among other catastrophes. As more and more of these not so ‘natural’ disasters overtake the planet, it would serve us well to remember that though some visible or invisible entities have the power to create such ‘end of the world’ cataclysms, there is someone greater who has power over these plagues.

·         Revelation 16:9: And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.

·         Jesus forewarned us in Luke 21:26: Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. We should keep in mind that though these things must happen before the end comes, this is not the end of the road for those of us who believe, it is just the beginning.

·         Psalm 91:7: A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
