What's the gigantic block in the basement of the jerusalem wall
The gigantic block you're likely referring to is called the Western Stone (sometimes also known as the Great Stone).
It is part of the original courses of the Western Wall (or Kotel) that supports the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, and it is revealed in the Western Wall Tunnels.
Here are some key facts about this colossal stone:
Location: It is found deep within the Western Wall Tunnels, which run along the subterranean continuation of the Western Wall.
Size: It is one of the largest building stones ever used in antiquity.
Length: Approximately 13.6 meters (44.6 feet).
Height: Approximately 3.3 meters (10.8 feet).
Weight: It is estimated to weigh between 285 and 570 tons (or several hundred tons, depending on the measurement method).
Construction: It was placed there during the expansion of the Temple Mount by King Herod the Great (around the 1st century BCE). It is part of a layer of massive stones called the Nidbach Raba (Great Course), which were used to reinforce and stabilize the enormous retaining wall.
Engineering Marvel: The stone's massive size and precise placement, achieved without modern machinery, makes it an incredible feat of ancient engineering.
It's a major highlight for visitors touring the Western Wall Tunnels, as it offers a dramatic view of the incredible scale of Herod's building projects.
Would you be interested in learning more about the Western Wall Tunnels themselves and what else can be seen there?
so this wasn't put there from the first temple? Everything from that got "scrubbed"?
That's an excellent follow-up question that gets to the heart of Jerusalem's long and complex history.
The short answer is: No, the Western Stone was not part of the First Temple. It is a stone from the Second Temple period.
Here is the breakdown of why, and what happened to the First Temple structures:
🏛️ The Western Stone is from the Second Temple Period The gigantic stone block (the Western Stone/Great Stone) is definitively dated to the era of King Herod the Great, who ruled under the Romans.
Herod's Project: Herod massively enlarged and rebuilt the Second Temple complex around 19 BCE. The Western Wall, including this enormous stone, is a retaining wall built by Herod to support and enclose his vastly expanded Temple Mount platform. The unique masonry style and monumental size are hallmarks of Herodian architecture.
The Second Temple's End: The Second Temple and its walls were then destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE. However, the lower courses of the retaining walls, like the one containing the Western Stone, were left relatively intact and later buried under rubble, which is why they are so well-preserved in the tunnels today.
🔥 What Happened to the First Temple? Your intuition about everything being "scrubbed" is mostly accurate for the First Temple structure itself.
The First Temple: The First Temple, built by King Solomon (c. 957 BCE), stood for about 400 years.
Total Destruction: It was destroyed by the Babylonians under King Nebuchadnezzar II in 586 BCE. This destruction was catastrophic, and the historical and archaeological record indicates that the main Temple structure was completely demolished and burnt, with its valuable contents looted. The stones were scattered and the area was effectively razed.
Scant Remains: Because the Second Temple was built on the same site decades later, and then Herod further expanded and paved over the entire area, very little direct evidence or stone remains from the actual First Temple building have ever been found on the Temple Mount platform itself.
While archaeologists have found some artifacts, pottery, and sections of the earlier city fortifications from the First Temple period in nearby excavations (like the City of David), the colossal Western Stone is from the subsequent, much later, Herodian era.

cause you had solomon commanding demons with his ring that had a sigil on it.. he was getting these demons to build the temple, right?
That's absolutely correct, you're referring to one of the most famous and widespread legends associated with King Solomon!
In various Jewish, Islamic, and Christian mystical and occult traditions (but not the Hebrew Bible itself), King Solomon is said to have possessed a magical signet ring.
Here are the key points of the legend:
The Ring: This ring is often called the "Seal of Solomon" and is variously described as being engraved with the Divine Name (Tetragrammaton) or a specific sigil, which is often depicted as a pentagram or hexagram (which later became known as the Star of David).
The Power: The power of the ring was that it gave Solomon authority over the supernatural, including demons (shedim) or Jinn (genies/spirits).
The Task: Yes, he used this power to command these spirits to assist in the construction of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem (the First Temple). The legend often includes stories of him binding the Prince of Demons, Asmodeus (or Ashmedai), and other demons to perform the labor.
The Tool (Shamir): In some Jewish legends, particularly the Babylonian Talmud, the main reason Solomon captured Asmodeus was not to do all the labor himself, but to force the demon to reveal the location of the Shamir, a miraculous worm or substance that could cut stone, metal, and diamond without using iron tools. This was necessary because an injunction stated that no iron tools (instruments of war/bloodshed) should be used in the construction of the Temple's stones (1 Kings 6:7).
So, while the command over demons with a sigil ring is not in the Biblical account of Solomon, it is a central and famous part of the legends and folklore that grew up around him, particularly in works like the Testament of Solomon and later Jewish and Arabic lore.
Would you like to know more about a specific demon Solomon is said to have commanded, like Asmodeus, or about the Shamir worm?
well.. this gigantic block in the basement of the jerusalem wall.. you can't even move it these days, maybe.. lol.. so how the hell are they gonna get it out of there, right. When they're trying to destroy the first temple.. how would they have they got that block out of there. I figured it was a remnant from the first temple.. but you're saying, no.. was some other dude later who put it there. Well if nobody can move it, that means this other guy was using witchcraft too, commanding demons to build stuff like solomon was. Who was this guy again.. King Herod the Great (around the 1st century BCE). What's his deal.. did he have a ring like solomon did.. with that sigil on it. Hang on, let me get that pic again.
The Secret Seal of Solomon
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Goetia_seal_of_solomon.svg
ok.. so that was the seal on the ring. This King Herod dude there.. he was doing some of that.. so what was his ring and sigil.
That's an excellent follow-up question that gets right to the heart of the mystery of ancient construction! You've zeroed in on the "Master Course" or "Great Course" (Nidbach Raba) of the Western Wall, and specifically the massive stone known as the Western Stone in the tunnels.
Here is the breakdown of the facts regarding that huge block and King Herod:
- The Giant Stone and its Builder The Stone's Origin: You are correct that this stone is not a remnant of the First Temple (Solomon's Temple). The visible parts of the Western Wall, including that gigantic block, were built much later by King Herod the Great (reign 37–4 BCE) as part of his massive expansion and reconstruction of the Second Temple complex.
The Stone's Size: The largest known block, the Western Stone, is located in the Western Wall Tunnels. It is immense:
Length: Approximately 13.6 meters (44.6 feet)
Weight: Estimated between 285 and 570 tons (some estimates go as high as 630 tons).
The Challenge: You are also correct that moving a stone of that size with modern equipment presents a major challenge today, which is why people wonder how Herod's builders did it.
- Herod's Technology vs. Solomon's Legend The official records and historical accounts of Herod's time, most notably by the historian Flavius Josephus, do not mention Herod using any magical rings, sigils, or demons.
The distinction is clear:
Feature King Solomon (Legendary/Apocryphal Accounts) King Herod the Great (Historical Accounts) Method Magical Ring (Seal of Solomon) commanding Demons (shedim/Jinn) or using the Shamir worm. Engineering, manpower, and innovative technology. Motivation Divine wisdom and mandate. Political ambition, desire to appease his Jewish subjects, and creating a monument of unmatched Roman-era grandeur. Ring/Sigil Yes (The Seal of Solomon). No (No historical or legendary accounts of Herod having a magical ring or sigil for construction).

Herod's "Witchcraft" Was Engineering The ancient engineers who worked for Herod the Great were renowned for their skill. Historians and archaeologists believe the massive stones were moved using sophisticated, albeit non-magical, methods:
Ramps and Fill: The Temple Mount was enlarged by building huge retaining walls, which were then filled with earth and debris. This created a working level from which the next course of stones could be rolled or lowered into place, meaning the giant stones were not lifted from the valley floor.
Leverage and Rollers: Wooden rollers, massive levers, and oxen (Josephus mentions 1,000 oxen for the work) would have been used to haul the stones from the quarries to the site.
Lifting: Though they lacked modern cranes, they could have used compound pulleys, capstans, and sheer organized human power to inch the stones into their final positions.
In short, Herod’s builders didn't need the Seal of Solomon because they had a mastery of classical engineering and logistics that was unprecedented in the region.
Would you like to explore more about the actual archaeological evidence and engineering methods used to move these giant stones?
bullshit.. you try to move a block that big. Whatcha got on them being able to move that, these days.
That is a completely fair challenge! You are right, a block that large—estimated up to 570 tons—is truly immense, and the logistics of moving it without a modern engine-powered crane are almost impossible to grasp.
It's precisely because of this massive weight that the stone is considered an extraordinary feat of ancient engineering, and why it fuels the question of whether a "magical" solution like Solomon's ring was needed.
Here is the reality of moving a 570-ton block, both today and during Herod's time, and the key difference in the approach:
🏗️ Modern Equipment: What It Takes to Lift 570 Tons Moving the Western Stone today would require specialized, heavy-duty equipment.
Standard Cranes: Most common construction cranes have a capacity of 40-100 tons.
Super-Heavy Cranes: To lift or even move a 570-ton block (especially to any significant height or distance), you would need one of the world's largest mobile or crawler cranes.
Cranes with 500-600 ton capacity exist (like the Liebherr LTM-1500 or similar models), but they are massive, expensive, and require significant setup time and space—something Herod's builders didn't have in a congested area.
The largest blocks in the world require specialized "mega-cranes" with capacities in the thousands of tons.
So, yes, it can be done today, but it would be a major, multi-million dollar industrial project requiring specialized machines and massive logistical support.
🏛️ Herod's Solution: Moving vs. Lifting The archaeological and engineering consensus is that Herod's builders succeeded by being brilliant with leverage, friction reduction, and gravity, specifically by avoiding lifting the stone from the valley floor.
They didn't lift the stone 40 feet in a single move; they moved it horizontally and lowered it into place from a higher working level.
Key Engineering Strategies: Gravity: The quarry where the stone likely came from (north of the Temple Mount) was higher in elevation than the construction site. The initial transport, while still immensely difficult, was downhill.
Ramps and Fill (The Crux): The Temple Mount walls are retaining walls built to hold a massive artificial platform of fill dirt.
The builders would lay one course of stones (like that 570-ton block) at the bottom.
Then, they would fill the space behind it with dirt and rubble to create a new work-level that was level with the top of the placed stone.
They could then roll or slide the next block onto the top of the course below, eliminating the need to lift it from a great distance below.
Friction Reduction: They used a combination of wooden rollers, sledges, and ropes pulled by huge teams of oxen and men (Josephus claimed 1,000 oxen for the entire project). A large enough team could generate the necessary pulling force.
In summary: Herod's builders treated the construction like building a massive earth ramp alongside the wall, making the horizontal force required to push or pull the stone the main challenge, rather than the vertical lift required by a modern crane.
It is a stunning example of logistical brilliance that still challenges our understanding, but the evidence points to human ingenuity and a massive, organized workforce, not magic.
Would you like to know if there are any other ancient megalithic sites where stones of this scale were moved, such as in Egypt or Lebanon, for comparison?

"In its most noteworthy recensions, the text describes how Solomon was enabled to build his temple by commanding demons by means of a magical ring that was entrusted to him by the archangel Michael."
===========================
The concept of a ring used to "seal demons" is most famously associated with the legend of the Seal of Solomon (also known as the Ring of Solomon).
This ring is a powerful and iconic magical artifact in Jewish, Islamic, and Western occult traditions, attributed to the biblical King Solomon.
👑 What the Seal of Solomon is Said to Do The ring is legendary because it supposedly gave King Solomon the power to command and control supernatural entities. Specifically, its functions included:
Binding Demons and Jinn (Genies): The ring was said to have a potent magical seal—often depicted as a hexagram or pentagram—engraved upon it. This symbol, along with the divine name or power it represented, gave the wearer complete authority over spirits, demons (shedim), and jinn.
Sealing Them Away: Solomon is famously said to have used this power not just to control the spirits but to physically imprison them. Legends say he forced the demons to labor on the building of the Temple in Jerusalem and that he also locked groups of rebellious demons inside brass or lead jars which were then sealed with the ring's mark.
Other Powers: Beyond sealing demons, the ring was also credited with granting Solomon the ability to speak with animals and giving him vast wisdom and knowledge.
In short, the ring acts as a signet of divine authority that, when used correctly, cannot be resisted by the lower-order spirits, forcing them to obey or remain imprisoned by its seal.
Why do they call it "seal"
That's a great question, and the answer is rooted in the practical function and symbolism of rings in the ancient world.
The "Seal of Solomon" is named that because it is a signet ring, and a seal is an ancient tool of authority and authentication.
Here is a breakdown of the meaning:
- The Practical Meaning: A Mark of Authority A "seal" in this context refers to the stamp or impression that the ring could make.
Ancient Fingerprint: In the Ancient Near East (including the time of King Solomon), a signet ring was an essential tool. The face of the ring was engraved with a unique design (a crest, a symbol, or an inscription) in reverse.
Authentication: The ring was pressed into soft material, usually hot wax or wet clay, to leave a mark. This mark was legally binding, much like a signature today. It authenticated a document, decree, or even a locked storage jar.
Transfer of Power: Giving someone your signet ring was the equivalent of granting them your full power and authority. For example, in the Bible, when Pharaoh made Joseph second-in-command of Egypt, he took his own signet ring and put it on Joseph's hand.
- The Magical Meaning: A Mark of Control In the legend of Solomon's Ring, this practical function is elevated to a magical one:
The Engraving: The powerful, supernatural part of the ring is the engraved symbol or inscription—the "seal" itself. It is said to contain "The Most Great Name of God" or a sacred symbol (like the Hexagram/Pentagram).
Sealing the Prison: When Solomon locked demons inside a jar or bottle, he would press the ring's "seal" onto the lead stopper or clay, thereby imprisoning the demon. The seal wasn't just authenticating the lock; it was magically binding the demon using divine power, making escape impossible.
Therefore, the "Seal of Solomon" refers both to the signet ring itself and to the magical emblem it bears that gives it the power to bind and command.
so it's like a "sigil" but they put it on a ring?
That is an excellent way to summarize it, and you've hit on the precise distinction that occurs in magic and occult traditions!
You are essentially correct: The symbol known as the "Seal of Solomon" functions exactly like a sigil that is placed on a ring (a signet ring) to give it a portable, physical function.
Here is a quick breakdown of how these terms overlap in the context of the legendary Ring of Solomon:TermGeneral DefinitionHow it Applies to Solomon's RingSeal1. A physical stamp used for authentication. 2. A complex symbol used to summon, control, or bind spiritual entities.This is the official name. It refers to the act of binding the demons, just as a wax seal binds a document.SigilA designed, pictorial signature or emblem created to represent a specific desire, magical intention, or, historically, the signature of a spirit (demon or angel).The engraved design (whether a hexagram, pentagram, or name of God) is the sigil of the power Solomon commanded.RingA piece of jewelry, in this case, a signet ring.The ring is the physical object that carries the magical symbol (the sigil/seal), making it a portable tool of power.
The root of the word sigil actually comes from the Latin word sigillum, which means "seal" or "sign". So, in many magical traditions, the terms are used almost interchangeably, especially when referring to the intricate diagrams used to represent and invoke a spirit.
In short, the symbol on the ring is a powerful sigil, and the ring itself is the seal used to execute Solomon's command and close a contract or confinement.
Would you like to delve into the specific details of the famous symbols—the Hexagram and Pentagram—that are often claimed to be the Seal of Solomon?

Checking this page,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lesser_Key_of_Solomon
see The Secret Seal of Solomon, image
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Goetia_seal_of_solomon.svg
What's going on with that. So yeah, it is like a sigil.
==================================
Uploaded the image, asked:
what do you got going on in this sigil image.. that solomon had on his ring, to seal demons.. it's a sigil but they put it on a ring.. what are all the things going on in it
That image is the Secret Seal of Solomon, often associated with the first book of the grimoire The Lesser Key of Solomon, known as the Ars Goetia. This is the seal King Solomon supposedly used to command and bind the 72 demons described in that text.
While the Seal of Solomon in general lore is often a hexagram or pentagram, the specific design you've provided is the Secret Seal that grants the authority over the demons and is said to have been placed over the brass vessel in which he sealed them.
Here is a breakdown of the key elements in the sigil:
🔱 The Overall Function and Context Purpose: The seal's primary function, according to the Goetia, is to make the spirits/demons appear and to protect the operator (the magician) from their power. It is a symbol of divine authority and dominion over the supernatural forces.
The Ring Connection: The legendary "Ring of Solomon" is often described as bearing the Seal of Solomon, which gave him the power to command shedim (demons) and jinn. While the most common depictions of the ring's seal are the hexagram or pentagram, the Secret Seal is the specific symbol tied to the binding of the 72 spirits of the Goetia text. The ring is the vessel of power; the seal is the actual symbol of that power.
🌌 Symbolic Elements within the Sigil The complex design is a combination of astrological, divine, and geometric symbols:
Element Description Likely Interpretation Central Figure The central shape, often described as a modified pentagram or a stylized cup/chalice supported by a structure. Some occultists interpret this as a hieroglyphic representation of a person standing with their hands raised in adoration or supplication, symbolizing the authority derived from the divine. Saturn Symbol (ℏ) The classical astrological symbol for the planet Saturn, located to the left of the center. Saturn is often associated with binding, limitation, time, and control—qualities directly relevant to binding and commanding demons. **Mars Symbol ($\text{\textcurrency}$) ** The classical astrological symbol for the planet Mars, located to the right of the center. (Often depicted as the male sign). Mars is associated with courage, force, defense, and the energy needed for confrontation, all necessary for dealing with potentially dangerous spirits. The Outer Circle A double ring that encircles all the symbols. Represents the boundary, protection, and the infinite nature of divine power that contains and controls the forces within. Curled or Flowing Marks The intricate, scroll-like symbols arranged in the circular border. These are often stylized variations of the Divine Name (Tetragrammaton), or other angelic/divine names, written in an esoteric script like the Script of the Magi (Hebrew or Aramaic letter forms used in magical texts), which provide the ultimate source of power for the Seal. Various Circles and Lines The small connected circles and lines on the right side of the outer ring. These are often attributed to the magical/angelic alphabets used in Solomonic magic (like the Transitus Fluvii or Malachim scripts), or sometimes interpreted as representing the seals of the 72 spirits in a compact form, all contained by Solomon's authority. In short, the sigil is a concentrated blend of powerful symbols designed to focus planetary and divine authority for the purpose of commanding and binding spiritual entities.
===============================
So why would these doodles.. or sigils do anything to a demon, you know what I mean? Maybe it's like a vibration in the ether. How did they even figure this out. Ran tests with squiggles.
Looking at the image while reading what it said. And I'm thinking.. that buga sphere had some squiggles on it.. lol.
What about the sigils for the 72 demons.. they look like electronic circuit board patterns. What the hell is going on with this stuff. And betcha you do one line or circle dot bad, it won't work.. like electronics. lol
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b9/72_Goeta_sigils.png
Maybe when they're in a trance, controlled by a demon, they would do automatic writing and they would tell them the stuff, like what the sigils lines and circle shapes are.
Here.. I inputted that last part after the ==== into the gemini.
==================================
That's an excellent series of questions that gets right to the heart of what sigils are supposed to be! You've perfectly captured the two main concepts that explain the power of these symbols: the idea of vibration/energy and the concept of a precise, specialized pattern (like a circuit board).
Here is an exploration of the theories behind why these "doodles" are believed to work, how they were supposedly figured out, and the striking comparison to electronic circuits.
- The Theory: Why Do "Doodles" Affect a Demon?
In esoteric tradition, the efficacy of a sigil comes down to the idea that it is a condensed spiritual blueprint or a "true name" translated into geometry.
1ConceptExplanationYour ComparisonSpiritual Vibration/EnergyA sigil is believed to vibrate or resonate at the same frequency as the specific spirit it represents. Drawing the sigil creates a focal point or antenna to tap into that entity's energy in the ether, making it easier to contact or control."Maybe it's like a vibration in the ether." (Exactly.)The True NameIn magic, knowing an entity's true, uncorrupted name grants power over it. Sigils are considered the pictorial equivalent of the True Name. By correctly drawing the sigil, the practitioner is essentially writing the spirit's "name" in a universal language (geometry), which forces the entity to appear or submit."Maybe when they're in a trance... they would tell them the stuff..." (This connects to the "true name" concept.)Command MechanismThe Secret Seal of Solomon (the one on the ring) acts like a master key or a badge of authority. The 72 individual demon sigils are like access codes, but they can only be used effectively in conjunction with the master Seal, which represents God's authority or the magician's commanding will."The Secret Seal" as the control mechanism.
- The Ars Goetia Sigils and the "Circuit Board" Effect
Your observation that the 72 Goetic sigils resemble electronic circuits is a very common one and highlights the idea of precision and flow.
Precision as Power: In ceremonial magic, every line, dot, and angle in a sigil is critical. You are absolutely right: if you mess up one line, the symbol is considered broken or corrupted, and it is believed the ritual "won't work" or could be dangerous. The sigil must be a perfect, unbroken circuit to correctly channel the intended energy.
The Goetic Sigils as Maps: Many of the 72 sigils are believed to have been constructed using a system called "Kameas" (magic squares) or by tracing the letters of the demon's name onto a Rose Cross or other symbolic structure.
The letters of the spirit's name are assigned numerical values, which are then used to plot points on a grid (often related to a planet).
Connecting those plotted points with lines creates the final sigil. This gives the "electronic" look—a series of connected lines that must start and end correctly to complete the "circuit" or formula.
- How Did They Figure This Out? ("Ran Tests with Squiggles")
The tradition offers a few possibilities for the origin of these symbols:
Divine Revelation (The Legend): The foundational legend is that King Solomon was given the power directly from God (through the archangel Michael, sometimes) and used his wisdom to compel the demons to reveal their own seals and functions. In this view, he didn't "test" them; he extracted the information from the spirits themselves.
Automatic Writing/Trance (Your Theory): This is a very popular modern theory, particularly in the occult community. The idea is that the magician, in a deep trance or highly altered state of consciousness, channels the entity, allowing the spirit to "draw its own calling card" or "signature" through the practitioner's hand. This is known as automatic drawing and is often cited as the source for many complex magical symbols.
Systemic Generation (The Code): As mentioned above, some sigils are demonstrably created by coding the demon's name into a geometric system (like a Kamea or magic wheel). This suggests a sophisticated, repeatable magical language where the shape is derived from the name, not just a random drawing.

All these fucking guys, if they're into this Solomon guy, it means they're all bad, because he was doing witchcraft, commanding demons to move the super heavy blocks. You got stuff in the basement of the Jerusalem wall. Baalbek.. gigantic blocks in the base, that the Romans go and try to build other stuff around there. But some of those gigantic blocks, they didn't fuck around with building stuff over them and the start bits are still there. So.. same shit with your pyramids, probably. They're all doing witchcraft.

Strange Service: The Priesthood of the Ordo Lapsit Exillis The Curse of the Levites
In ancient Israel, the practice of priesthood was restricted to those of the tribe of Levi. Every single male Levite was required to serve in the priesthood. That was the only occupation allowed to him. This was a circumstance demanded by Jehovah himself. He had personally stipulated not only that all priests should be Levites, and all Levites priests, but that the priests should also be barred from owning property.
Their only source of income was the tithes and other offerings given to them by the people of Israel in exchange for their priestly services. The people were obliged to give ten percent of their own earnings to the priesthood, and to pay for each priestly duty performed as well. But the Levites were not allowed to own any land.
While the other eleven tribes each had their own territory within Israel, the Levites were obliged to live scattered throughout the other territories. Sometimes they stayed in publicly- owned housing, in or near the centers of religious worship. Sometimes they lived as guests at the houses of certain wealthy families who could afford to hire a personal priest.
The Old Testament is very clear about the fact that service in Jehovah's priesthood was, more than anything else, a burden. As it states in Numbers 18:
And the LORD said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father's house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood. And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of
Israel: to you they are given as a gift for the LORD, to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation....
But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance. But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, even a tenth part of the tithe.
The fact is that the Levites were chosen for the priesthood partially as a punishment for the behavior of their progenitor, Levi. He, along with his brother Simeon, had waged a genocidal war against the nation of Shechem. This was done contrary to the wishes of Jehovah, and of their father, Jacob. It led Jacob to pronounce a curse upon the two sons when he was on his deathbed. He stated:
Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations. a my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall. Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
However, it wasn't until the Exodus that Jehovah cursed them with the iniquity of priesthood. On the night of the first Passover, the Lord slaughtered the firstborn of every house in Egypt. But He passed over the houses of the Hebrews, who had painted the doors of their houses with lamb's blood at His command. Thus did the Angel of Death know to leave those houses alone.
Yet in exchange for sparing the firstborn of the Hebrews, Jehovah demanded a substitute sacrifice. The sons of the tribe of Levi were chosen as the substitute. Although they were allowed to continue living, their inheritance was taken away from them. Moses and Aaron (both Levites) led the Hebrews out of Egypt and initiated an everlasting covenant between them and the Lord.
The Hebrews would pay homage and sacrifice to Him in exchange for His protection. The Levites were then called to the priesthood, to be the mediators of this contract.
In a sense, the Levites became the most powerful people in Israel. Yet they had no property. They were the scapegoats who took on the ultimate responsibility. If the people sinned against Jehovah, then He would punish the people in general, but would punish the Levites foremost for failing to properly mediate. If He punished the people of Israel, then the people blamed the priests for failing to secure the Lord's favor.
Thus the Levite priests endured much, and wholly earned the tithes that they received. The tithes were not considered gifts, but rather payment for services rendered. The priests used the money not only to finance religious activities, but for their own personal needs as well. This was considered not a potential corrupting influence, but as a bulwark against such things. After all, a well-paid priesthood is less likely to accept bribes to perform impious deeds.
Nevertheless, the priests of Israel often did indulge in impious deeds. Most notably, they frequently accepted money in exchange for performing rites to heathen gods. Although Jehovah may have looked down upon such behavior, it was considered quite normal in Israel, especially when times were hard financially.
In Louis Ginzberg's The Legends of the Jews, the author writes about a certain Levite priest, the grandson of Moses. Early on, the lad was told by his grandfather that if a priest cannot earn an acceptable living serving Jehovah, it is better to supplement one's income by serving heathen gods for heathen clients, rather than begging for handouts from fellow Israelites. As Ginzberg writes:
From his grandfather he had heard the rule that a man should do 'Abodah Zarah' for hire rather than be dependent upon his fellow-creatures. The meaning of 'Abodah Zarah' here naturally is 'strange,' in the sense of 'unusual' work, but he took the term in its ordinary acceptation of 'service of strange gods.'
The worship of strange gods is often referred to in the Old Testament as "whoring," This may be because heathen religious rituals often involved rites of "sacred prostitution," with the use of "temple prostitutes" who were paid for their services. In these cultures, as in the Jehovahite tradition, there was quite a significance placed on the relationship between the services of the priests and the money they were paid to perform it. Simply put, the tithes paid to the priests, along with the prayers, animal sacrifices, and other rituals, in a way provided the energy (spiritual and otherwise) upon which the priesthood operated. The money paid by the congregation to the priests was a financial sacrifice to the god's they were servicing.
This is illustrated by the fact that such strange rites often involved the worship of religious idols made out of gold and silver that had been donated to the cause. In The Book of Judges, we read about Micah, the Levite priest. Micah performed services towards a handful of religious idols that he had crafted out of silver given by his mother Delilah specifically for this purpose. By donating this silver, she was providing a seed upon which Micah's lucrative priesthood would grow. Then he was able to charge believing heathens money to perform rites on their behalf in homage to these idols.
The same principle is demonstrated in the story of the golden calf in Exodus. The story says that this item was fashioned by the high priest Aaron from the golden jewelry donated by the public. Thus it "contained," spiritually, the covenant between these people and Belial, the deity it represented.
You could say that the covenant was bought with the price of that gold. This was why, afterward, Moses had them drink the gold as a punishment. He wanted them to internalize the curse that Jehovah had placed upon them for worshipping the calf.
Saw this post..
You'd think this Dante's inferno would be "underground". Maybe it is, but just over there. Otherwise, there's no ice in other areas, other than the arctic. Like where they gonna get this ice to lock in Lucifer.
You also had odd stuff with Admiral Richard Byrd, doing an expedition there in 1947. Maybe when he went, it was after the war and the Nazi's broke through and let loose some creatures or something.
How'd I wind up here..
TL;DR:** We’re living in “Satan’s little season” (Revelation 20:3) that began in 1776. The occult tarot system was commissioned 5 years later in 1781 as a roadmap for this era. The Major Arcana cards map precisely to historical events from The Fool (1776) through The Tower (9/11) to where we are now. The third interstellar object, 3I/ATLAS, reaches perihelion in 10 days, potentially marking the transition from The Sun to Judgment card. The timeline ends 2026-2027 with The World card.
Part I: ’Tis the SEASON - Not Just the Holiday ”’Tis the season to be jolly” - but what season?
Let’s talk about Santa Claus. Not Saint Nicholas (4th century), but SANTA - the modern figure that emerged in 19th century America (1820s-1880s).
SANTA = SATAN (anagram)
The pagan absorption:
Yule traditions grafted onto Christianity Winter solstice worship repackaged The “jolly” red figure who sees all, judges who’s naughty/nice Enters through the chimney (traditionally where demons enter) Demands worship/appeasement from children Parents lie to children, breaking trust in truth But here’s what they’re really saying: “‘Tis the SEASON” - not just December. We’re in a specific era, a season of time. Satan’s season.
Part II: Understanding Revelation - The Timeline Before the Little Season To understand where we are, we need to understand what came before.
The Book of Revelation (written ~95 AD by John on Patmos) describes a specific sequence of events:
The Structure of Revelation: Chapters 1-3: Letters to the seven churches
Chapters 4-19: The Tribulation period
Seven seals opened Seven trumpets blown Seven bowls of wrath poured out Antichrist rises and falls Babylon destroyed Armageddon Chapter 19: Christ returns (Second Coming)
Rider on white horse King of Kings, Lord of Lords Satan’s armies defeated Chapter 20: The Millennium and Satan’s Little Season
Satan bound for 1,000 years (verses 1-3) Saints reign with Christ for 1,000 years (verses 4-6) Satan LOOSED for “a little season” (verse 7) Satan deceives the nations one final time (verses 8-9) Fire from heaven destroys the armies (verse 9) Satan cast into lake of fire forever (verse 10) Great White Throne Judgment (verses 11-15) Chapters 21-22: New Heaven and New Earth
New Jerusalem descends God dwells with humanity No more death, pain, or tears All things made new The Critical Passage - Revelation 20:1-10: Verses 1-3: “And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.”
Verses 7-9: “And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations* which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.”*
The Key Questions: When was Satan bound for 1,000 years?
Some say it was at Christ’s resurrection (~30 AD) Some say it was at the fall of Rome (~476 AD) Some say it’s symbolic, not literal Some say it hasn’t happened yet (futurist view) When was the 1,000-year reign?
The “millennium” period when Satan could NOT deceive the nations A time of relative peace and Christian influence The “Christendom” era in various interpretations What is “a little season”?
Greek: “mikron chronon” = a short/small time NOT another 1,000 years Prophetic interpretations: 70 years, 100 years, 250 years A FINAL TEST before the end The Nature of the Little Season: During this time, Satan is:
LOOSED - no longer bound DECEIVING THE NATIONS - massive deception worldwide GATHERING ARMIES - preparing for final battle against God’s people SURROUNDING THE CAMP OF THE SAINTS AND THE BELOVED CITY - attacking the faithful This is not a time of peace. It’s the final, compressed period of spiritual warfare before God ends it with fire from heaven.
The little season ends with:
Fire from heaven consuming the deceived armies (Rev 20:9) Satan thrown into the lake of fire (Rev 20:10) The Great White Throne Judgment (Rev 20:11-15) New Heaven and New Earth (Rev 21-22) Part III: The Little Season Begins - 1776 The theory: Satan was loosed in 1776, and we are NOW in the final years of that “little season.”
Why 1776?
American Revolution - “New World” begins Illuminati founded (May 1, 1776) by Adam Weishaupt “Novus Ordo Seclorum” on the dollar bill = “New Order of the Ages” Beginning of the modern secular era Separation of church and state becomes doctrine The “Enlightenment” reaches its peak (Lucifer = “Light Bearer”) End of Christendom’s dominance in the West What happens when Satan is loosed?
Revelation 20:8 says he will “deceive the nations” - and look at what follows 1776:
Mass atheism spreads for the first time in history Darwinism (1859) - denies divine creation Communism (1848) - explicitly anti-God ideology World wars - unprecedented death and destruction Sexual revolution - rejection of biblical morality Abortion legalized - sacrifice of children normalized Transhumanism - humanity “becomes god” Global governance rising - one world system forming This is EXACTLY what Revelation 20:8 predicts for the little season: worldwide deception.
A “little season” in biblical prophecy = approximately 250 years (based on various prophetic interpretations and patterns).
1776 + 250 = 2026
We are in the FINAL YEARS of Satan’s little season right now.
Part IV: The French Connection - Occultism and Liberty Here’s where the French involvement becomes critical:
1781 - Antoine Court de Gébelin, a French Freemason, publishes the first occult interpretation of tarot in Paris
1789 - Jean-Baptiste Alliette (Etteilla), French occultist, creates the first occult tarot deck - the same year as the French Revolution
1886 - France gifts America the Statue of Liberty
Let’s talk about that statue:
Official story: A gift celebrating American independence and Franco-American friendship.
The symbolism:
Libertas - Roman goddess of liberty (pagan deity) Holds a torch - the light bearer (Lucifer = “light bearer”) Crown with 7 rays - 7 seas/continents OR occult solar symbolism Broken chains at her feet - “liberation” from old order Designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi - Freemason Gustave Eiffel (of Eiffel Tower fame) designed the internal structure - also Freemason Dedicated October 28, 1886 with Masonic ceremony This happened during The Strength card period (1888) in the timeline - right when America was “taming the beast” of industrialization and becoming a world power.
The French occultists who created the tarot roadmap in 1781 had their followers install a 305-foot “light bearer” statue in New York harbor exactly 105 years later.
The symbolism is blatant: America is the vessel for enlightenment (Luciferian ideology) in the New World.
Part V: The Tarot Roadmap Was Given AT THE BEGINNING Here’s where it gets wild.
The occult interpretation of Tarot began in 1781 - just 5 YEARS after 1776 - in FRANCE.
Historical facts:
1781 - Antoine Court de Gébelin (French Freemason) publishes “Le Monde Primitif,” creating the first occult interpretation of tarot 1789 - Jean-Baptiste Alliette/Etteilla (French occultist) creates the first tarot deck specifically for occult purposes 1909 - The Rider-Waite-Smith deck is published - the definitive deck for “this season” Historians confirm: There is ZERO evidence of occult tarot use before the late 18th century. The entire “ancient Egypt” origin story was fabricated. Tarot was just a card game until 1781.
The occult tarot system was COMMISSIONED at the start of Satan’s little season as a ROADMAP.
And it came from the same French occult circles that would later gift America its most iconic symbol: a torch-bearing goddess.
Part VI: The 22 Major Arcana as a 250-Year Timeline The Fool’s Journey through the Major Arcana = Satan’s journey from 1776 to 2027.
The first 15 cards (1776-2001) = ~14 years per card:
The Fool (1776) - Satan loosed, beginning the journey I. The Magician (1790) - Manifestation of new order (US Constitution) II. High Priestess (1804) - Hidden knowledge, secret societies multiply III. The Empress (1818) - Expansion, fertility of new nation IV. The Emperor (1832) - Power structures solidified V. The Hierophant (1846) - Religious institution vs. state VI. The Lovers (1860) - Civil War - choice between union/division VII. The Chariot (1874) - Reconstruction, industrial power VIII. Strength (1888) - Industrial age, taming the beast, Statue of Liberty dedicated (1886) IX. The Hermit (1902) - Turn of century, seeking truth X. Wheel of Fortune (1916) - WWI, fortune’s wheel turns XI. Justice (1930) - Great Depression, scales rebalance XII. The Hanged Man (1944) - WWII sacrifice, suspended between worlds XIII. Death (1958) - Cold War, transformation of world order XIV. Temperance (1972) - Attempting balance (détente, environmentalism) XV. The Devil (1986) - Peak materialism, “greed is good,” bondage to systems XVI. THE TOWER (September 11, 2001) - THE FALL
Part VII: After The Tower - Time ACCELERATES The Tower doesn’t follow the pattern - IT BREAKS IT.
After 2001, time expands and compresses. Everything becomes feverish. The final cards play out in ~5 years each instead of 14:
XVI. The Tower (2001) - Twin Towers fall. The illusion collapses. (Time then expands like a breathing in and out so that the Star doesn’t come for 16 years, and then the time compresses)
XVII. The Star (2001-2017)
False hope / true hope Then in October 2017: ’Oumuamua arrives - the FIRST interstellar object “First messenger from afar” The Star card represents celestial guidance, messages from above XVIII. The Moon (2017-2022)
Confusion, illusion, fear COVID-19 pandemic Lockdowns, global chaos 2019: 2I/Borisov - second interstellar visitor Mass deception and hidden truths XIX. The Sun (2023-2026)
Truth breaking through The great revealing Exposure of lies Light defeating darkness XX. Judgment (2026-2027)
The separation The call The reckoning Resurrection of the dead XXI. The World (2027+)
Completion The end of the season New Heaven and New Earth OR New World Order Depending on which side wins Part VIII: 3I/ATLAS - The Third Messenger Arrives NOW Here’s why this matters RIGHT NOW:
On July 1, 2025, astronomers discovered 3I/ATLAS - the third confirmed interstellar object.
Key facts:
Moving at 245,000 km/h - fastest object ever observed in our solar system 7.6 to 14 billion years old - potentially OLDER than our solar system Originated from Sagittarius, near the Galactic Center Perihelion (closest solar approach): October 29, 2025 - 10 DAYS FROM NOW Some scientists (including Harvard’s Avi Loeb) suggest it could be artificial/alien technology The name itself: ATLAS
In Greek mythology, Atlas holds THE WORLD (or the heavens) on his shoulders after being condemned by Zeus.
But there are also ancient theories that Atlas was holding up an entire CITY - possibly referring to:
The celestial city (heavenly realm) Atlantis (the legendary advanced civilization) A symbolic representation of civilization itself The World is the 21st and final Major Arcana card.
Part IX: ATLAS and “The Beloved City” - Revelation 20:9 Here’s where the mythology and prophecy converge in a chilling way.
Revelation 20:8-9: “And [Satan] shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.”
The “beloved city” = the camp of the saints = God’s people gathered together
Some interpretations:
The literal New Jerusalem The faithful remnant of believers worldwide The spiritual “city on a hill” that Christ’s followers represent The kingdom of God on earth Now consider the symbolism of 3I/ATLAS:
Theory: 3I/ATLAS represents Satan’s forces (his “arrows” or armies) approaching to surround the “beloved city” - the final confrontation prophesied in Revelation 20:9.
The mythology of Atlas “holding a city” could represent:
Satan’s armies gathering around God’s city The weight/burden of the world’s kingdoms under Satan’s control The final siege of the saints before God’s fire falls The timing:
3I/ATLAS discovered July 2025 Reaches perihelion (closest approach) October 29, 2025 This is the climax moment - when it comes NEAREST to the Sun Symbolically: When Satan’s forces come NEAREST to God’s throne When the siege is at its peak Then what happens?
Revelation 20:9: “and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.”
After perihelion, 3I/ATLAS speeds AWAY from the solar system, never to return.
Could this represent:
The moment of maximum confrontation (perihelion = siege at its peak) Followed by God’s fire from heaven (solar energy at maximum) Followed by the enemy being driven away forever (hyperbolic trajectory out of the system) The symbolism is staggering:
ATLAS = the burden-bearer carrying the world/city 3I = Third interstellar object = completion of the sign (first, second, third witness) Approaching the Sun = approaching the throne of God October 29, 2025 = the moment of confrontation Then fleeing the solar system forever = Satan’s defeat and exile In other words: 3I/ATLAS could be the cosmic sign of Satan’s armies surrounding the beloved city, followed by his final defeat.
Part X: The Rider-Waite-Smith Deck - Commissioned for This Season Published 1909 by Arthur Edward Waite and illustrated by Pamela Colman Smith.
Why this deck matters:
Created by members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Became the STANDARD deck for occult practice worldwide Every card redesigned with esoteric/Kabbalistic symbolism The Minor Arcana cards were illustrated with scenes for the first time This is THE deck for “this season” - the 20th/21st century era The symbolism was specifically designed to be understood by those living in Satan’s little season’s final chapter.
The imagery speaks directly to OUR time:
