Matthew 13:41: if only...
Yesterday I heard the following New Testament
quote: ‘The Son of man
shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his
kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;[…]’
(King James’s version). The word ‘iniquity’ got me wondering
what the sentence looked like in the Latin and (ancient) Greek
versions. A few keystrokes and this is what I found on
https://biblehub.com/matthew/13-41.htm.
lawlessness.
ἀνομίαν
(anomian)
Noun - Accusative Feminine Singular
Strong’s 458: Lawlessness, iniquity,
disobedience, sin. From anomos;
illegality, i.e. Violation of law or wickedness.
In turn, this prompted me to want to check the
verse (Matthew 13:41) in the original manuscript,
which is available in a digitised photographic reproduction at https://digi.vatlib.it/mss/detail/Vat.gr.1209,
this because the Italians have this lovely expression ‘
traduttore,
traditore’ –
literally, ‘translator, traitor’; the phrase ‘lost in translation
’
probably conveys the idea better to English ears (only by virtue
of the fact that the English equivalent has been in use for a long
time I would assume).
Written in the hard to decipher Koine
characters (no spaces between the words, no punctuation), I
would not have managed to locate the passage without spending an
inordinate amount of time on this task had it not been for the
transcript made quite some time ago by Carlo Vercellone and
Giuseppe Cozza (originally published in 1868; reprint available
at https://archive.org/details/CodexVaticanusbFacSimile)
and offered online in a far more readable version by the Center
for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts at http://www.csntm.org/manuscript/View/GA_03.
So, yes, the word used in the original ancient
Greek version is indeed
(fifth line from the top
of the far left column at
https://digi.vatlib.it/view/MSS_Vat.gr.1209/1257; the
verse begins on the penultimate line of the far right column at
https://digi.vatlib.it/view/MSS_Vat.gr.1209/1256).
So
according to Strong’s dictionary, anomos
carries both the meanings of
violation of the law and of wickedness.
How interesting! This because, to me, these two
meanings describe perfectly well the predicament in which a very
substantial chunk of the world population has found itself for
more than a year. As such, one can only hope for such an outcome
to come true. And the sooner would be the better – even if I
have my doubts about this being possible. So if the prayers of
Christians fail to help bring about the above, Christians and
non-Christians should probably put their heads together to find
solutions to remove this wicked
illegality…
Evil April, evil Bill?
In some circles April is associated with human
sacrifices, for instance 19th April with sacrifice by
fire! Supposedly these dreadful deeds originated from very old
fertility rituals, performed on both sides of the Mediterranean
Sea. As I have not really researched this topic, I cannot offer
any informed comments. I would simply refer anybody interested
in finding out more about this awful subject to the following
link (https://web.archive.org/web/20120728020857/www.angelfire.com/my/sherbear/SRAcalendar.html)
as a starting point – for instance, I would look up some of the
points featured in this list (of ‘Satanic holidays’ – by the
way, a nice oxymoron) using either https://duckduckgo.com
or https://swisscows.com
(yippy.com is no longer accessible and I fear that there is some
foul play on the part of the main browser companies, as after
having typed that search engine’s name in the address bar of my
4 browsers and
pressed ‘enter’, I am invariably redirected to DuckDuckGo).
In
addition, one should bear in mind that for certain subjects Wikipedia is highly
partial (and what an understatement this can be at times).
However, it should be clear that this list reflects a strong
bias against paganism. For example, it associates the dates
running from 26th April to the first of May with the
‘human blood thirsty’ Canaanite deity Baal (from which Beltane
is said to derive). So for some, April is an evil month indeed.
As for the computer billionaire and global
spokesman for covid-19 vaccination, when two days ago I read the
following headline and in particular the excerpt I provide
hereafter, I could not help but wonder whether there might not
be some nefarious objective being pursued by the man who is now
also claimed to be the number one owner of agricultural land in
the USA:
Florida
set to release swarms of GMO mosquitoes as residents decry
‘criminal experiment’ by Bill Gates-backed biotech

[...]
For the
first leg of the plan, set to be expanded later, mosquito
boxes will be placed at six locations, which over 12 weeks
will release around 144,000 Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, a
species most closely linked with transmitting illnesses such
as dengue, Zika and yellow fever. If all goes according to
plan, the male, non-biting bugs will mate with local biting
females, whose female offspring
are programmed to die off, helping to control the
Aedes aegypti population and
reduce the spread of disease.

The more so, as only a year ago, thus also in
April, I remember that Bill Gates described on the Stephen
Colbert Show the forthcoming covid-19 vaccine as the ‘final
solution’.
The Bill
& Melinda Gates Foundation is helping coordinate the
global race to develop a coronavirus vaccine and is planning
ahead to build the factories that will produce enough to
inoculate the world’s population.

Now, I could go on and provide further similar
examples (but not all for April) which I attribute to sheer
malignancy on the part of Bill Gates, but my site would end up
being de-indexed from the main search engines – even if my ‘root

Going
against the Law.
Last week, I came across a claim that
might sound odd initially (mainly because one of the terms is
not defined) but which nevertheless makes absolute sense – at
least to me. It is that evil becomes stronger whenever we ‘go
against the law’. I read it in a French book on instrumental
transcommunication (itc), which is the contacting of a deceased
relative through the manifestation of the latter’s voice through
magnetic bands, television sets, computer monitors or even the
telephone. This
book, whose title I shall translate as Images
and Messages from Beyond, is primarily a diary of a grandma’s contacts
with her deceased grandson who unfortunately died even before
reaching his teenage years, interspersed with comments either of
a metaphysical or of a philosophical nature from this very
person – i.e. the grandmother, who is also the author of this
book (Monique Simonet; Images
et
messages de l’Au-delà,
Éditions du Rocher, 1991). This point about ‘going against the
law’ (and thus stoking the evil around oneself) allegedly made
by the grandson’s spirit in reply to his sister Muriel asking
him about his hair comes out as a little odd given that this
discarnate entity is supposed to be that of a young boy. Just so
that the reader can judge for himself or herself, here is the
beginning of the dialogue that appears under the date of 17th
January 1984, which translated rather literally gives something
like the following:
‘Darling,
do you still comb your beautiful hair? asks Muriel.
- My
hair?... I hardly think about it... Our body is without
material contingencies; but we have spiritual obligations.
- What,
for example?
- Prayer
and reflection... Searching for solutions against evil...
Every time you do something against “THE LAW” it is like
hurting the body of Christ... And you strengthen the evil
around you... ’
My initial reaction to this passage (which is
on page 61; the book has 225 pages) was that the subject matter
was totally made up and that the author was therefore a cheat.
Now with roughly 40 pages left to read, I have changed my
opinion and believe that the author is most probably telling the
truth, however incredible some of the stuff she is describing in
Images
and Messages from Beyond. Yet even if she
were lying about the experiences she recounts in her book, I
would still agree with the contention that there is some kind of
universal law which I would equate with love and harmony, i.e.
the opposite of evil.

What it is
really all about.
It beggars belief that some still do not get it after more than
twelve months of this mostly governmental manufactured
mess...Well, when a phrase is on the lips of so many of them, can
it really be ascribed to chance?
A year ago on
RT.com,
I came across the following news article which I even archived at
the
Internet Archive. However, my comments on what I
fear to be an offshoot of ‘Project Blue Beam’ (as well as my own
‘UFO sighting’ last year) are for a future entry, I am afraid.

Lausanne, 27th April 2021
Crowd control gone
awry.
A couple of hours after having published my previous entry, I
opened
Bitchute
to peruse the latest user-generated headlines. In particular, I
was interested in the topic of ‘
vaccine
shedding’. Even though I did come across several video
titles displaying this phrase, my attention went to the following
video blurb:
Police Chased Out of Hyde Park After Attacking Peaceful
Protest
https://www.bitchute.com/video/BngW5DaUfIF4
Succumbing in part to some voyeuristic drive, in part to wanting
to find out whether this had anything to do with last Saturday’s
London march (which I hoped it had not), I clicked on the link and
I watched the footage. The clip shows a small group of London
police officers advancing in a line to break up an impromptu rock
concert in a park said to be Hyde Park and the response of some
members of the audience, namely those of the listeners who were
particularly angry at the interruption of this makeshift concert
by the police. First a brouhaha takes place with a lot of swearing
(on both sides, mind you!), then a series of skirmishes. Being
pelted repeatedly with empty bottles and even smoke cans, the
police can be seen to retreat several times, then regroup and
march back towards the more bellicose members of the crowd.
However, for most of the footage I watched (less than half), the
police officers were on the defensive and some sustained injuries
or had to be dragged out of the skirmish zone by fellow officers.
Had some people in the crowd not put themselves in front of the
police, I fear that it would not have ended very well for several
of these officers. Given all the pent-up frustrations resulting
from months of government-imposed house arrest, it was sheer
madness to have wanted to try to break up this gathering of rock
music listeners with not only such a small police force but one
simply lacking any anti-riot gear. I hope that the commanding
officer who gave the order to disperse the gathering will be
demoted – although this would appear extremely unlikely as it is
rumoured that the higher echelons of the London metropolitan force
are infested with freemasons (who it is claimed take an oath to
help each other out very early in their initiation into
freemasonry).
One last point: I shall refrain from making conjectures about
any hidden
motives behind this attempted break-up of a rock concert in a
London park.
