THE LOST TRIBE OF DAN
The Early Jewish & Christian
View of the Identity of the Antichrist
". . .the snorting of his horses was heard from Dan." Jeremiah 8:16
Samson, a Nazarite of the tribe of Dan, judged Israel during the period of Philistine domination. At the feast celebrating his marriage to a Philistine woman, Samson proposed a riddle to the Philistines: "Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness." Judges 14:14 On the seventh day of the feast, the importunate bride extracted from Samson the interpretation of the riddle and related its meaning to her people, viz., that the carcass of a young lion which Samson had killed with his bare hands had attracted a swarm of bees who produced honey therein. Samson paid the wager by slaying thirty Philistines -- after which his wife was taken from him. Angered by their treachery, Samson avenged himself by slaughtering many more Philistines and eventually the Philistine lords.
Several obscure prophecies in the Bible point to the fact that the tribe of Dan will produce the Antichrist. In the context of these prophecies, Samson's riddle may be a prophecy that the descendants of the tribe of Dan will one day try to destroy the tribe of Judah in jealous revenge for God's judgment on their idolatry. From the carcass of the young lion [Judaism] the tribe of Dan [typified by the bees] will attempt to produce a golden age [symbolized by honey]. To suggest that the Antichrist will be a Jew is likely to incur accusations of "anti-Semitism" from those who would like to conceal this fact. However, we believe that the Biblical admonition to bless the descendants of Abraham includes exposing the identity of the man of sin who will lead many Jews to their destruction.
The Merovingians, who plan to rule the world from their future throne at Jerusalem, claim to come from the tribe of Judah through Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene. However, the weight of evidence indicates that they descended from the tribe of Dan. Although Scripture states that Samson was “of the family of the Danites” [Judges 13:2], Yair Davidy of Brit-Am Israel claims that his lineage includes the Messianic tribe of Judah: “Samson the superman hero came from the Tribe of Dan but his mother was from Judah. Samson, in some respects, was considered a forerunner of the Messiah who will come from Judah but his mother, according to the Midrash will be of the Tribe of Dan.” [Brit-Am Israel newsletter, 2/9/99]
It is through the agency of the British-Israel
movement that the Gentiles are being prepared to submit to the Noahide
Laws under a restored Sanhedrin. Yair Davidy posits, “The
name DAN means “judge” in Hebrew. Many lawyers and judges in the USA are
of Irish descent of a particular type as is much of the police force .
. . Descendants of Dan today appear to be concentrated in Ireland, Britain,
the USA, and especially Denmark.”
The following paper is meant to serve as a
study guide for understanding the enigmatic design of Satan to use the
apostate tribe of Dan as an instrument and cover for a false messiah. The
reader will be able to review the many Scriptures which concern the tribe
of Dan -- the prophecies, the Danite people, their land, history, idolatry
and symbols -- in conjunction with relevant information from other sources.
A chapter of Guardians of the Grail
by
J. R. Church provides further insights on The
Roots of the Merovingians.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Different Bible versions allow for different
interpretations of prophecy. Therefore, the traditional view represented
by the King James Version is used in this report. Scripture indicates
the following: That the
The Arcadian roots of the Merovingians, Spartans
and Celts seem to be connected to the tribe of Dan because of their use
of Dan-related place-names, personal names and peculiarities, i.e., Baal/goddess
worship and architectural skills.
The Tribe of Dan inherited the pre-flood paganism
[Baal worship] of the Canaanites [descendants of Ham and his son, Canaan]
who occupied the northern area of Palestine at Mt. Hermon/Sion. Located
at the 33rd degree, the ancient tribe of Dan influenced the basis of modern
Freemasonry.
The symbols of the tribe of Dan are used by
the Merovingians, the House of Stewart [Prince
Michael] and the Masonic authors of the Protocols of Sion [Representatives
of Sion of the 33rd degree].
The Tribe of Dan was involved in a substitute
worship system at Mt. Hermon/Sion that was both opposed to and removed
from the true worship of God at Mount Zion in Jerusalem.
The Judeo-Masonic conspirators have revealed
to their own elect and concealed from the profane the fact that a Danite
false messiah will reign from the territory of Mount Sion in Dan rather
than Mount Zion in Jerusalem. Their ultimate objective is to recreate
the pre-flood pagan culture which God once judged and will judge again.
The purpose of the report will be to consider
six major areas concerning the tribe and territory of Dan in order to see
if there is any merit, at this point in history, to the following tradition
as it was expressed by the early church fathers and the Jewish Encylopedia.
"And Jeremiah does not merely point out his [Antichrist] sudden coming,
but he even indicates the tribe from which he shall come where he says
'We shall hear the voice of his swift horses from Dan; the whole earth
shall be moved by the voice of the neighing of his galloping horses: he
shall also come and devour the earth, and the fulness thereof, the city
also, and they that dwell therein.' This, too, is the reason that this
tribe is not reckoned in the Apocalypse along with those which are saved."
[Irenaeus, "Against
Heresies," Vol. I of Ante-Nicean Fathers, p. 559] A.
The Antichrist
1. He
is a Jew
1. Will
come from Sion
1. Dan
means "judge"
For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth
affliction from mount Ephraim. . . I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was
without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. I
beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were
fled. I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and
all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and
by his fierce anger. For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land
shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end. Jeremiah 4:15, 23-27 A. The Tribe of Dan
1. Samson
"But neither Athelstan and his son, nor the Comacine
Masons, serve to account for one of the most salient aspects of later Freemasonry
-- the fact that it contains a major skein of Judaic tradition filtered
through Islam. The corpus of legends central to Freemasonry -- including,
of course, the building of Solomon's Temple -- derives ultimately from
Old Testament material, both canonical and apocryphal, as well as from
Judaic and Islamic commentaries upon it. It is worth looking at the most
important of these legends -- the murder of Hiram
Abiff -- in some detail. The Hiram story
is rooted in the context of the Old Testament. It figures in two books,
I Kings and II Chronicles." [Baigent, The Temple & The Lodge, p. 124] "The Merovingian's. . .tradition of long hair and the name Samson among
the Royal House would indicate the descent from Samson and thus the Tribe
of Dan." [Bloomer]
"The Merovingian kings. . .were called the long-haired Monarchs because
they placed great value on their long hair and believed that it gave them
strength. One wonders whether Samson was a Merovingian ancestor!" [Van
Buren, p. 30] 1.
Arcadians/Spartans are possibly from the Tribe of Dan
"In Greek myth. . .[is] the legend of King Belaus, one Danaus, who arrives
in Greece with his daughters, by ship. His daughters are said to have introduced
the cult of the mother goddess, which became the established cult of the
Arcadians. According to Robert Graves the Danaus myth records the arrival
in the Peleponnesus of 'colonists from Palestine.' Graves states that King
Belus is in fact Baal, or Bel -- or perhaps Belial from the Old Testament."
[Baigent, Holy Blood, p. 275]
"At that particular time Arcadia was ruled by Spartans. . . The Spartans
placed a special magical significance on their long hair . . .associated
with their great strength. There appears to have been a relationship between
the Spartans and the Jews. In the Apocryphal we read: 'It has been found
in writing concerning the Spartans and the Jews that they are brethren
and are of the family of Abraham.' (Maccabees I 12:21)" [Van Buren,
p. 45] A. The Land of Canaan/Palestine
1. Canaan
"Canaan. . .is the older name of Palestine." [Unger, p. 202]
"Canaan is the listed as the fourth son of Ham." [Unger, p. 953] #6429
Pelesheth, a region of Syria:--Palestina, Palestine, Philistia, Philistine."
[Strong's Concordance, "The Hebrew & Chaldee Dictionary"] 2) Pelles ". . .-ine, a suffix of adjectives of Greek or Latin origin, meaning
'of or pertaining to,' 'of the nature of,' 'made of,' 'like'. . . [Random
House College Dictionary]
". . .at Rome. . .[a] male Pales was sometimes spoken of corresponding
in some respects to Pan." [The New Encyclopedia Britannica, "Pales," p.
600]
"The fire. . . was looked upon as the purifier, and in April every year,
at the. . .feast of Pales, both men and cattle, for this purpose, were
made to pass through the fire." [Hislop, quoting Ovid, p. 236]
"At Cyllene, Hermes was worshipped by the name of Phales - derived from
Phallos - and in the image of a phallic stone. More usually. . .his phallic
image was a herm. Originally a stone heap. . ." [Eliade, Encyclopedia of
Religion, Phallus, p. 264]
Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this
song unto the LORD, and spake. . .The people shall
hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.
. .all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away. Exodus 15:1,14,15 ". . .Dan became the very type of evildoing. He was placed in the north
(Num. ii.25), this being the region of darkness and evil (Jer. i.14). .
." [Singer, Jewish Encyclopedia ("Dan"), p. 423] a. Located at the 33rd degree [both latitude
and longitude according to the Paris Zero Meridian]
"Prior to the adoption in 1884 of Greenwich as
the international Zero Meridian, each country made use of its own. The
French Zero Meridian. . .is still used on the official maps produced by
the Institut Geographique National. . .[Giovanni Domenico] Cassini's meridian
arc is still marked upon French maps as the Paris Zero." [Lincoln, pp.
75, 141]
Note: Using the Greenwich Zero Meridian, the northern
territory of Dan lies at 35.5 degrees longitude. However, if the Paris
Zero Meridian is used, having a 2.5 difference from Greenwich, Dan is found
to lie at the 33rd degree longitude and latitude.
b. Located at Keter, the first sephirot on the
Kabbalistic Tree of Life
"The paradisical theme park. . .will be marked upon a special map of
'The Spiritual Geography of the Holy Land', with sacred sites and the alignments
between them and upon which a diagram of the [Kabbalistic] 'Tree of Life'
is traced marking ten such sites. . .over the whole land of Israel. . ."
[Genesis
of Eden]
Note: Planetary positions set out upon the Tree of Life reveal the first
sephirot [Keter] as the "One". [Fiedler, p. 236-37]
"Ancient myths and rites present Saturn as the god "One," the first
king, and the all-encompassing Heaven man." [Talbot, p. 30]
In Chevalier, p. 734, Pan/Saturn is revealed as the All. This would
place the Panias/Dan area in the Keter position. [Section
III.D.3] 1. Laish/Leshem
[Lion]
And the coast of the children of Dan went out
too little for them: therefore the children of Dan went up to fight against
Leshem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and possessed
it, and dwelt therein, and called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their
father. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according
to their families, these cities with their villages. Joshua 19:47-48
And they called the name of the city Dan, after
the name of Dan their father, who was born unto Israel: howbeit the name
of the city was Laish at the first. Judges 18:29
"It was first a Canaanite sanctuary for
the worship of Baal; perhaps Baal-Hermon (Judg.3:3; I Chron. 5:23].
It was called by the Greeks Paneas because of its cavern. . .dedicated
to the worship of the god Pan." [Unger, p. 191] "Hebrew dan ya'an, 'Dan played a pipe', indicates that it was a suburb
of Dan." [Tenney, Zondervan Pictorial Bible Dictionary, p. 199] "The place had been named Panias, for it served as the favorite seat
of Pan, a Greek fertility god." [Pfeiffer, p. 197]
"The gods gave him the name of Pan, meaning 'All Things'. . .because
he is a universal tendency incarnate. He was the god of All Things, doubtless
indicative of the procreative current charging All Things, All Gods or
All Life." [Chevalier, p. 734]
"One of the main sources of the Jordan rises in the grotto of Pan. .
." [Herberman, Catholic Encyclopedia, "Caesarea Philippi," p. 135] From the second century the city was called "Caesarea Panias." [Singer,
Jewish Encyclopedia, "Caesarea Philippi," p. 488] "Agrippa II called the city Neronias. . .as is proved from the city's
coins. . ." [Hastings, "Caesarea Philippi," p. 338] "Under the simple name of Paneas it was the seat of a Greek bishopric
in the period of the great councils, and of a Latin bishopric during the
crusades." [Hackett, "Caesarea Philippi", p. 340] "The interpretation of Hermon is 'anathema'. . ." [Jerome, "Homily 66,"
p. 70]
". . .Hermes[']. . .name is Greek. The later Greek-speaking peoples
did not know the name that the pre-Hellenic inhabitants had given to the
god of these stone heaps; and the name. . .was doubtless withheld from
them. Therefore, they could only refer to him as 'Hermes' from their word
for 'stone heap'. In the Laconian dialect. . .he was known as 'Herman',
He of the stone heap. . ." [Cavendish, p. 1289]
"On one of its three secondary peaks, there are ruins of a circular
wall within which lies a heap of hewn stone, said to be remnants of a Syrian
altar, possibly in honor of Baal." (cf. Jgs.3.3; I Chr.5.23)" [New Catholic
Encyclopedia, "Hermon, Mount", p. 1078]
". . .Thoth-Hermes. . .was the biblical Ham. . .deriving from the word
Herma which relates to the 'pile of stones'." [Gardiner, Genesis of the
Grail Kings, p. 219]
"The Greeks called him [Mercury] Hermes. . .Pan, the god of shepherds
was the son of Mercury." [Burns, pp. 146-7] ". . .legends anterior to Gnosticism. . .attributed a sacred character
to Mount Hermon, the supposed residence of the children of Seth at the
beginning of human existence." [Doresse, p. 255]
"The Valentinians . . .regarded Seth['s]. . .sons. . .to be the 'Sons
of God,' who, upon Mount Hermon, led a pious and secluded life cherishing
the nostalgia for paradise." [Doresse, p. 39, note 97]
"Hittite and biblical records support the use of Hermon as a dwelling
place of gods. . Ritual centers were located at the foot of Hermon: Baal-gad.
. .in the valley of Lebanon under Mount Hermon (Josh.11:17) and Baal-hermon
(I Chr. 5:23)." [Freedman, "Hermon, Mount, p. 158]
"We have read in a certain apocryphal book [Enoch 6:5-8] that when the
sons of God were coming down to the daughters of men, they descended upon
Mount Hermon. . ." [Jerome, Homilly 45, p. 338]
"And the angels, the children of heaven, saw them and desired them [handsome
and beautiful daughters]. . . and they descended into Ardos which is the
summit of Hermon." [I Enoch 6:1-5, Charlesworth, Vol. I, p. 15] "More than twenty temples have been surveyed on Mount Hermon and its
environs. This is an unprecedented number in comparison with other regions
of the Phoenician coast." [Freedman, "Hermon, Mount," p.159]
A. The Bee
1. Samson
1. The
Tribe of Dan
". . .the Symbolic Snake, by which we symbolize
our people." [Protocols of Sion, p. 275] 1. Mount
Hermon/Sirion [Deut. 3:8-9]
1. The
Tribe of Dan
And after a time [Samson] returned to take her,
and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion: and, behold, there
was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase of the lion. And he took thereof
in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and
he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken
the honey out of the carcase of the lion. Judges 14:8-9 [Judges 14:14] 1. Tribe
of Dan
". . .the two-headed eagle. . .is usually depicted in two colors of
great mystical significance: red and white." [Cirlot, p. 93] 1. May
be a symbol of the portion of Tribe of Dan which continued to live in the
Mediterranean coastal territory.
A. False gods
1. Micah's
idols
"Fortunately, a stone image of Asherah has survived. . .found in ruins
of Dan, where the golden calf was worshipped in what is now northern Israel,
[which] dates from the eighth century B.C.E. The Goddess strongly resembles
her neighboring deities Anet, Astarte, Ashtaroth." [Johnson, p. 315] According to Parker's Astrology, the Eighth Astrological
House is October 24- November 22. Scorpio is the eighth astrological sign.
"To Dan was given the symbol of Scorpio, which,
in the ancient Egyptian zodiac was a snake." [J.R. Church, Guardians of
the Grail, p. 117]
"And perhaps there is significance in the fact
that the Eighth House of astrology rules the mysteries of sex, death and
rebirth -- and the occult." [Picknett and Prince, p. 204] A. Change Scripture

"The Prieure de Sion by its very name appears to be associated with
Mount Zion. However, the Rock of Sion is spoken of in Masonic rites of
the eighteenth century. It seems that the Masons gave another significance
to the Rock of Sion, other than that which indicates the sacred mount situated
south of Jerusalem." [Van Buren, p. 136]
"In Celtic, Zion means Mount of Stone or Fortress.
Huge monoliths and piles of stones were positioned to form circles. The
latter were called Si'un or Caers and were placed on top of hills or mounds.
. . On May-eve and November 1st the Druids built great fires on the Zions,
so that for miles around the flames on the top of the mound could be seen
by the people. . . The Chief Druid stood in the centre of the circle during
the service that approached a large central stone which was called. . .the
Stone of the Covenant. . . In Ireland it was called Bethel, the house of
God." [Van Buren, pp. 142-43] A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; a
mountain of many peaks is the mountain of Bashan. [NASB]
Psalm 48:2 - Beautiful for situation. . .is mount

Beautiful in elevation. . .is Mount Zion in the

". . .my eyes can scarcely withdraw themselves from [Mount] Hermon soaring
on my right hand. The expression in Isaiah v.26 occurs to me with added
meaning. The Great Illumer describes Jehovah seated yonder on that lookout,

(founder of the Eastern Star), Freemasonry in the Holy Land: A Narrative
of Masonic Explorations Made in 1868, in the Land of King Solomon and the
Two Hirams, p.537] "There can be no doubt that one of the southern peaks of Hermon was
the scene of the Transfiguration." [McClintock, p. 209]
"It has been widely held that the Hermon region was the scene of our
Lord's transfiguration." [Unger, p. 555]
"Aleister Crowley. . .taught that the Great Work [is] the 'transformation

1st when the ancient druids honored their great Sun God and Goddess with
an uninhibited festival complete with initiations, sex orgies, drunken
revelry, and human sacrifice." [Marrs, p. 230] [See Section

Antichrist is Jewish; He will come from the
region of Dan/Mount Hermon [Mount Sion] in the north of Israel as a false
fulfillment of Romans 11:26; The tribe of Dan will be rejected by God as
part of the 144,000 and will be used by God to bring judgment upon Israel
and the unbelieving world.
"Irenaeus ('Heresies' Vol.
302), Hippolytus ('De Christo et Antichristo', pp. 14,15), and other Church
fathers have a tradition which can not but be of Jewish origin, that the
Antichrist comes from the tribe of Dan, and base it upon Jer. VIII.16:
'The snorting of his (the enemies) his horses was heard from Dan'. . .
Irenaeus remarks that Dan is, in view of this tradition, not in the Apocalypse
(Rev.vii.5-7) among the 144,000 saved ones of the twelve tribes. Nor is
the omission of Dan in I Chron. iv. et seq. unintentional. . . Dan became
the very type of evildoing. He was placed in the north (Num.ii.25), this
being the region of darkness and evil (Jer. i.14) because of his idolatry
which wrapped the world in darkness (Num.ii.)." [Singer, The Jewish
Encyclopedia, ("Dan"), p. 423]
I. CONSIDER
THE PROPHECIES
Neither shall
he regard the God of his fathers . . .nor regard any god: for he shall
magnify himself above all. Daniel 11:37
2. He is
from the tribe/region of Dan
We looked for
peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!
The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole land trembled
at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and
have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that
dwell therein. For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you,
which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the LORD. Jeremiah
8:15-17
3. He is
from the serpent's root.
Please note the context of Isaiah 14 is Lucifer's fall to earth
in the endtime [Revelation 12].
Rejoice not
thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken:
for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit
shall be a fiery flying serpent. . . Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole
Palestina, art dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke,
and none shall be alone in his appointed times. Isaiah 14:29,31
B. The Messiah
And so all
Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the
Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob. . . Romans 11:26
C. Dan/Tribe of Dan
And Rachel
said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given
me a son: therefore called she his name Dan. Genesis 30:6
2. Will
be used by God to judge his people
And Jacob called
unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you
that which shall befall you in the last days. . . Dan shall judge his people,
as one of the tribes of Israel. Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder
in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall
backward. I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD." Genesis 49:1,16-18
3. Is missing
from the 144,000 during the Tribulation
And I heard
the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred
and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

. .Levi. . .Issachar. . .Zabulon. . .Joseph. . .Benjamin. . .Benjamin were
sealed. . . Revelation 7:4-8
4. Will worship
a false god
They that swear
by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner
of Beersheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again. Amos
8:11-14
II. CONSIDER THE PEOPLE
And there was
a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah;
and his wife was barren, and bare not. . .And the woman bare a son, and
called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him. Judges
13:2, 24
2. Aholiab
And I, behold,
I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan:
and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that
they may make all that I have commanded thee. The tabernacle of the congregation,
and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is thereupon, and
all the furniture of the tabernacle. Exodus 31:6,7
3. Hiram/Huram
And now I have
sent a cunning man, endued with understanding, of Huram my father's, The
son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre,
skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and
in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson; also
to grave any manner of graving, and to find out every device which shall
be put to him, with thy cunning men, and with the cunning men of my lord
David thy father. II Chronicles 2:13,14
B. The Merovingians may be descendants
of Dan
"Merovingian geographical place-names
and personal names were sometimes Jewish. In the 6th Century a brother
of King Clothair was named Samson while Miron "Le Levite" was a count.
'Sion' and 'Le Levite' were Merovingian towns in France. Scholars have
even traced Merovingian 'Salic Law' back to Judaic law." [Bradley, p. 179]
C. Danaus (a Danite?)
"Now, the question remains, how do
we know the Spartans were the offspring of the tribe of Dan? . . . Aside
from the fact that the Spartans wore long hair as a symbol of their power
(like Samson) there is a legend written about the son of Belus, king of
the Spartans -- in which is given the story of one named 'Danaus,' who
arrived in Greece with his daughters by ship. According to the legend,
his daughters called themselves Danades. They introduced the cult of the
mother goddess, which became the established religion of the Arcadians
and developed over the years into the worship of Diana. . .The Spartans
so loved their king that they called themselves Danaans -- long before
they adopted the name of Spartans. Also in the legend is a record
of the arrival of 'colonists from Palestine.' Please note, the man who
headed the expedition was named Danaus. He may well have been of the tribe
of Dan, and thus would have been the progenitor of the ancient Spartans."
[Church, p. 120-21]
2.
Celts may be of the Tribe of Dan
"There are certain facts that suggest
that the Celts might have derived from a Jewish tradition from the East.
The Celtic body of ecclesiastical and civil knowledge was Druidism. Their
system can be traced to about 1800 B.C. . . . It is recorded in 'Welsh
Triads' that Hugh Gadarn synthesized the wisdom of the ancients for those
whom he led west from. . .Sumer and Mesopotamia. . . In 'The Psalter of
Cashel' it states that: 'The Tuatha de Danaan' ruled in Ireland for about
two centuries, and were highly skilled in architecture and other arts from
their long residence in Greece.' The Tuatha de Danaan were the descendants
of Danaus, the son of Belus, who went with his fifty daughters to Argos,
the home of his ancestrous Io. In Irish legends the Tuatha de Danaan, who
were considered to be demi-gods, . . .were said to have possessed a . .
.Grail-like vessel. . . These teachers of wisdom . . . were the founders
of the Druidic priesthood." [Van Buren, p. 141-142]
III. CONSIDER THE LOCATIONS
And Ham, the
father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren
without. And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their
shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father;
and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto
him. And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto
his brethren. Genesis 9:22-25
2. Palestine
a. The root
words of Palestine are Peles and Heth
1) Heth is the son of Canaan
And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn,
and Heth. Genesis 10:15
B. The tribe of Dan's position
in the camp in the wilderness
"In the Grail tradition of Botticellis' time, the Arcadian
sea-lord, Pallas, was manifest in King Pelles . . . the Fisher King is
sometimes Pelles (from Pallas, the ancient Bistea Neptunis of the Merovingian
ancestry." [Gardner, pp. 176, 238]
b. Pales[tine] = of Phales/phallos
The standard
of the camp of Dan shall be on the north side by their armies: and the
captain of the children of Dan shall be Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.
Numbers 2:25a
C. Territories of Dan in the land
of Israel
. . .Why did Dan remain in ships? Judges
5:17
"Dan was the last of the tribes to receive his portion, which
was the smallest of the twelve. It had. . .a line of seacoast which seems
to have led the tribes to engage in fishing in commerce. . ." [Unger, p.
273]
2. In the
sides of the north
"Part of the tribe of Dan, unable
to secure its inheritance, migrated north and captured Laish, renaming
it Dan." [Atlas of the Bible Lands, p. 8]
D. The City of Dan - Chronology
and History of Baal/Pan worship
And of Dan
he said, Dan is a lion's whelp: he shall leap from Bashan. Deuteronomy
33:22
2. Dan [1406
B.C]
And the coast of the children of Dan
went out too little for them: therefore the children of Dan went up to
fight against Leshem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword,
and possessed it, and dwelt therein, and called Leshem, Dan, after the
name of Dan their father. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children
of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages. Joshua
19:47-48
Panias was called by the Jews "Dan" or "Mizvar Dan" (Fort of
Dan). [Encyclopedia Judaica, "Banias", p. 162]
3. Dan-Jaan
may indicate involvement in Pan-worship. [1017 B.C.]
Then they came
to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtimhodshi; and they came to Danjaan, and
about to Zidon. . . II Samuel 24:6
4. Panias/Paneas
". . . later the Greeks built a shrine to Pan, the god of nature,
and called the place Paneas (the city of Pan)." [Thompson, p. 1734]
". . .the Jordan river that weaves like a snake along the eastern
border of the land of Israel is named after the ancient tribe of Dan. Jordan
means 'the going down of the Dan.'" [Church, p. 124]
5. Caesarea Philippi
[4 B.C.]
"In 4 B.C. this area became tetrarchy of Herod's son Philippus
who refounded Paneas as Caesarea Philippi." [Freedman, "Ituraea", p. 583]
"A remarkable monument, which has
seen all the periods of the history of Caesarea Philippi, is the vast castle
above the site of the city, built in the Syro-Greek or even Phoenician
times and, after receiving additions from the Saracens and Franks, is still
the most remarkable fortress in the Holy Land." [Hackett, p. 341]
6. Neronias [61-68
A.D.]
In 61 A.D. Caesarea Philippi was renamed Neronias. [Encyclopedia
Judaica, "Banias", p. 162]
7. Caesarea Panias
[2nd Century A.D.]
From the 2nd century the city is called Caesarea Panias. [Singer,
Jewish Encyclopedia, "Caesarea Philippi", p. 488]
8. Banias/Paneas
[4th-13th Centuries A.D.]
"Paneas then again asserts itself with Caesarea, and finally
Caesarea disappears, and Paneas takes permanent possession in the Arabic
form of Banias, for the Arabs have no 'p'." [Hastings, "Caesarea Philippi,
p. 388]
9. Belinas [Bel?]
"During the crusades it was called Belinas" [Encyclopedia Judaica,
"Banias," p. 162]
E. Mount Hermon
And the Amorites
forced the children of Dan into the mountain: for they would not suffer
them to come down to the valley. Judges 1:34
1. The
name "Hermon" [Since Hermon represents Ham, then Pan represents his
son, Canaan]
"Hermon means (Forbidden [Place])."
[Encyclopedia Britannica, 15th Ed., 1987, "Hermon, Mount" p. 876]
2. Pre-Flood
Mount Hermon
And it came
to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters
were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that
they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. Genesis
6:1,2
3. Post-Flood
Mount Hermon
"From ancient times the mountain
was a place of worship, where the god H.[ermon] (perhaps called Baal-Hermon)
was venerated." [Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Bible, "Hermon," p. 987]
IV. CONSIDER THE SYMBOLS
And after a
time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of
the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase
of the lion. And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and
came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but
he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the
lion. Judges 14:8-9 [Judges 14:14]
2. The
Merovingians
"Be Wise As Serpents revealed. .
.how all the heads (presidents) of the LDS and RLDS [Mormons] have been
descendants of the Merovingian dynasty, and they and the Masons have both
used the Merovingian symbol the bee." [Springmeier, p. 80]
B. The Serpent
Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an
adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall
fall backward. Genesis 49:17
2. The
Elders of Sion of the 33rd Degree
". . .the text
of the Protocols [of the Elders of Sion] ends with a single statement,
'Signed by the representatives of Sion of the 33rd Degree'." [Baigent,
Holy Blood, p. 193]
C. The Unicorn
The voice of
the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.
He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young
unicorn. Psalm 29:5,6
2. Christ's
enemies
Many bulls have compassed me: strong
bulls of Bashan have beset me round. They gaped upon me with their mouths,
as a ravening and a roaring lion...Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou
hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns. Psalm 22:12,13,21
3. The
House of Stewart
"Scotland's Royal House of Stewart
arose from a marital union of the hereditary lines of Jesus and his brother
James -- springing from the Merovingians' own source on the one hand, and
from the Celtic Kings of Britain on the other. The Stewarts emerged, therefore,
as a truly unique Grail dynasty and have long been known as the 'House
of Unicorns'. . .Along with the David Lion of Judah and the Franco-Judaic
fleur-de-lys,
the Desposynic Unicorn was incorporated in the Royal Arms of Scotland."
[Gardiner, Bloodline, p. 315]
D. The Lion
And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion's whelp:
he shall leap from Bashan. Deuteronomy 33:22
2. Christ's
enemies
Many bulls have compassed me: strong
bulls of Bashan have beset me round. They gaped upon me with their mouths,
as a ravening and a roaring lion...Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou
hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns. Psalm 22:12, 13, 21
3. Mount
Hermon
Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse,
with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir
and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards. Song
of Solomon 4:8
4. The
House of Stewart
"Scotland's Royal House of Stewart
arose from a marital union of the hereditary lines of Jesus and his brother
James -- springing from the Merovingians' own source on the one hand, and
from the Celtic Kings of Britain on the other. The Stewarts emerged, therefore,
as a truly unique Grail dynasty and have long been known as the 'House
of Unicorns'. . .Along with the David Lion of Judah and the Franco-Judaic
fleur-de-lys,
the Desposynic Unicorn was incorporated in the Royal Arms of Scotland."
[Gardiner, Bloodline, p. 315]
E. The Eagle
"Dan's position in the journey was
on the North of the Tabernacle, with Asher and Naphtali. The standard of
the tribe was of white and red and the crest upon it an eagle. . .Jacob
had compared Dan to a serpent. Ahiezer substituted the eagle, the destroyer
of serpents, as he shrank from carrying an adder upon his flag." [Unger,
p. 273]
2. Freemasonry
". . . [priests] after the Order
of Melchizedek . . .were the immortals to whom the term 'phoenix' was applied
and their symbol was the mysterious two-headed bird now called an eagle,
a familiar and little understood Masonic emblem." [Hall, p. 108]
F. The Fish
[See Section III.C.1].
"The relevant sea-lord was King Pallas.
. .whose symbol was a fish. . .the fish was an emblem of the Merovingian
along with the Lion of Judah." [Gardiner, Bloodline, p. 175]
V. CONSIDER THE SIN
And these went into Micah's house, and
fetched the carved image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image.
Then said the priest unto them, What do ye?. . .And the children of Dan
set up the graven image: and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh,
he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity
of the land. And they set them up Micah's graven image, which he made,
all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh. Judges 18:18,30-31
2. The
golden calf
Whereupon the king took counsel, and
made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to
go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out
of the land of Egypt. And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he
in Dan. And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before
the one, even unto Dan. I Kings 12:28-30
3. Baal
And the children of the half tribe of
Manasseh dwelt in the land: they increased from Bashan unto Baalhermon
and Senir, and unto mount Hermon. I Chronicles 5:23
"The Canaanites worshiped Baal as
the god of rain and thunder, and sexual orgies were enacted to provoke
his presence in the land." [Butler, p. 1164]
4. Astarte/Asherah/Ashtaroth
"Astarte was worshipped conventionally
'on the high places'; hills and mountains -- Mount Hermon, for example
-- abounded with her shrines." [Baigent, Temple & the Lodge, p. 126]
Then Jeroboam built
Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went out from thence,
and built Penuel. And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom
return to the house of David:
VI. CONSIDER THE PLAN
If this people go up to do
sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of
this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah,
and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.
Whereupon the king took counsel,
and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you
to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up
out of the land of Egypt. And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put
he in Dan.
And this thing became a sin:
for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan. And he made
an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people,
which were not of the sons of Levi.
And Jeroboam ordained a feast
in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast
that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing
unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of
the high places which he had made.
So he offered upon the altar
which he had made in Bethel the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even
in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast
unto the children of Israel: and he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense.
I Kings 12:25-33
In the KJV, the Old Testament contains only 2 renderings of
Mt. Sion, which is Mt. Hermon. [Deut. 4:48, Psalm
65:1] However, the Septuagint changes all of the Hebrew spellings
of "Zion" to the Greek "Sion". The lack of distinction between Mount Hermon
and Mount Zion creates confusion.
In the Strong's Concordance, Zion and Sion are different words:
2. Change
God's holy mountain/seat from Jerusalem to Hermon
Psalm 68:15,16 The hill of God is as
the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan. 16 Why leap ye,
ye high hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the
LORD will dwell in forever. [KJV]
B. Change the site of the Transfiguration
from Mount Tabor to Mount Hermon
When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea
Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son
of man am?. . .And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his
brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, And was transfigured
before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white
as the light. Matthew 16:13; 17:1
"According to an old tradition, the
scene of the Transfiguration was Mount Tabor." [Eidersheim, p. 92, note
1]
C. Change the location of the early
Church from Jerusalem to Dan/Caesarea Philippi
When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea
Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son
of man am?. . .And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon
this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail
against it. Matthew 16:13,18
"We ought also. . .to mention the.
. .Druses -- so-called worshipers of the devil, established in the mountains
where numbers of Judeo-Christians took refuge in the first centuries of
our era. The image of a serpent appears, sculptured upon the portals of
their sanctuaries; and their doctrine contained a good deal of Gnosticism."
[Doresse, p. 316]
D. Rebuild the Temple of Pallas
in opposition to the rebuilt Temple of Jerusalem
"The earliest writings about this society, which was known
as the Brotherhood or the Order of the Rosy Cross, began to circulate in
Europe around the year 1605. They were contained in a manuscript called
The
Restoration of the Decayed Temple of Pallas and provide the earliest
known constitution of the Order." [Howard, p. 44]
E. Change perception of the Antichrist
from Jewish to Gentile race [in order to portray the Pope as Antichrist]
Daniel 11:37 - Neither shall he regard
the God of his fathers. . . [KJV]
F. Change genealogy of the Messiah
from the Tribe of Judah to include the Tribe of Dan
And he will show no regard for the gods
of his fathers. . .[ASV, NASB, NIV]
And one of
the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda,
the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven
seals thereof. Revelation 5:5
G. Change Gentile nobility of Europe
to include Jewish component
"There was a very great 'Jewish'
component among the Sicambrian Franks/Merovingians and, because they practiced
polygamy (another Merovingian peculiarity) they left a great number of
offspring. These aristocratic Merovingian children married into almost
all of the noble families of Europe during the 5th, 6th, and 7th Centuries.
This has prompted more than one historian to suggest that the foundation
of European nobility is Jewish!" [Bradley, p. 180]
