tified) that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, he shall be called a Nazarine (kept), a nazarite priest."

Therefore, it was not through fear that he went to Nazareth, but to force the fulfillment of prophecy. Moreover, from rebellion they turned to the more drastic thing, national revolution.

It is evident that from this point the Christian exploiters felt strong enough to assert themselves, for then came John the Baptist preaching the advent of Christ, to fulfill the prophecy of Esaias, which means Isaiah.

John at once began to antagonize the Pharisees and the Sadducees.

The Pharisees (set apart) symbolize the political opposition to the Christian pretensions.

The Sadducees were the disciples of Sadok, Zadok, meaning justice, justified.

Seeing them he exclaimed:

"O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from wrath to come?"

Therefore John was assaulting an institution generations older than Christianity.

When Christ learned that John had been cast into prison, he left Galilee (revolution) and Nazareth (separation) and went to Capernaum (meaning the hamlet of Nahum, meaning comforter and repentance).

These very clearly define the course of Christianity. Beginning by inciting rebellion on the part of the developing masses, extending this to revolution, to cause a separation from the established form of worship, assaulting the political bodies and those who advocated justice, and John is landed in jail. The Christian plan is then changed. They abandon rebellion and revolution and throw themselves upon the sympathy of the masses, by seeking comfort of Nahum and pretending to repent their conduct.

Again examine the genealogical line. Eliminate the names and follow only the meanings, and you will be amazed at what they reveal. As an example:

God begets the earth.
The earth begets respiration.
Respiration begets mankind.
Mankind begets the priest.
The priest begets the king.
The king begets the law.
The law begets punishment.
Punishment begets debasement.

And so on down the line.

Now, who is so bigoted as to insist there is no underlying system revealed here? It is on this theory that the popes claim the divine right to appoint kings, and that human laws are divine.

We leave it to the common sense of the thoughtful reader. This reveals the secret policy of the Christian exploitation. It proves beyond reasonable dispute that our previous interpretations of the scriptures are correct; they are but a rehearsal of the Christian policies. Hidden behind these so-called gospels is an insidious conspiracy against established human institutions, involving all of the natural personal rights of men. We warn all men that at this very time the churches are dictating the laws which govern them.

PART XXII

A LINE OF FALSE PROPHETS. FULFILLMENT OF PROPHECY

(It is easy to force events to fulfill prophecy.)

"The prophet which shall presume to speak a word in my name which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die." (Deut. 18:20.)

This definitely establishes the origin of inspiration in a source capable of human speech and capable of enforcing his commands by planting fear in the heart of the prophet. This is absolute hypocrisy, as is proven by this provision against mistakes on the part of the high priest.

"When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously; thou shalt not be afraid of him." (Deut. 18:22.)

Think of the absurdity of this. It would be evident on its face of false prophecy, but no intimation is made that the prophet must die because the inspiration may go wrong.

We may know by this the true meaning and purpose of these Bible prophets. They merely spout as they are instructed by the high priest. God is in politics, for these prophecies refer mainly to future political schemes.

The fear is put upon the prophet at the time he receives his instructions and they all die in Gilead, the mass of testimony which does not cross the Jordan.

The Jordan means descent and judgment.

Descent means to come down, to succeed as hereditary

rulers.

Judgment means discretion.

It required discretion in the making to order of a line of prophets each having a specialty.

The line of major prophets and their functions:

Isaiah means the salvation of the Lord.

Jeremiah means the grandeur of the Lord.

Ezekiel means the strength of the Lord.

Daniel means the judgment of the Lord.
Hosea means the help of the Lord.

Joel means the will of the Lord.

Obadiah means the servant of the Lord.

What name do they finally give to this Lord? "Lord of lords," "King of kings."

Does this sound like the usurpation of temporal power?

This array of prophetic talent signifies a strenuous campaign of some kind. A similar line of minor prophets explains the line of action to be pursued in establishing these major attitudes and powers.

It will emphatically demonstrate a process.

The minor prophets and their functions:
Jonah means he that oppresses.

Micah means he that humbles.
Nahum means he that comforts.
Habakkuk means he that persuades.

Zaphaniah means he who speaks.
Haggi means he who gives solemnity.
Zechariah means he who remembers.
Malachi means god's messenger.
This tells a plain, unbroken story.
Zechariah is the son of Berechia.

Berechia means blessed by Jehovah.

Jehovah means self-exalted, self-sustaining.

Maintenance is the key to the future, and coercion in numerous forms will provide.

Why foolishly defend an institution so surrounded by questionable mystery?

Palpably this line of so-called prophets is as much a pre

meditated scheme of propaganda as was the journey through the wilderness.

The carefully prepared history of the births, service, and deaths of these prophets has no more foundation in fact than has the story of the flood as recorded in Genesis. It is willful misrepresentation on the part of sycophant writers.

After having worked out a chronological history of these alleged prophets we concluded it would be a waste of good space to include it in this work. With the information which we give, those who choose to delve into this phase can do so. In this chapter we give an example of interpretation.

We know that the high priest does pose as god to the prophets by the story of Moses and Aaron. Moses was god unto Aaron and Aaron was prophet unto Moses, who put all the words in his mouth.

Every word uttered in the old testament, as though being addressed to or of the Israelites, has reference to the people of the world after the beginning of the practical application of Christianity. The prophets declare what must take place under the Christian administration and the ecclesiasts have done all in their power to enforce the fulfillment of their own words. The world has not had one day of universal peace since the enforcement of prophecy began. We shall elaborate on this after we have given this example of interpretation.

We have purposely taken the word Aaron for this demonstration because it is the first word usually found in Bible dictionaries, and it well illustrates the far reaching nature of this ecclesiastical scheme. On its face it conceals some great enterprise to be concealed from humanity.

There are many who will desire to put our theory to the test. For their benefit we are giving this specific example of interpretation, which they may apply to almost every chapter in the Bible with amazing results.

In practically all the Bible dictionaries the name Aaron is the first mentioned.

Aaron means enlightener. He is brother to Moses and Miriam. The latter is the elder.
