(2) ARAMEA - The Lion at the Gate

[Gnosty]

Recorded by Michael Edward on 20 January 2003 - I saw a mighty Lion guarding the Gate of the land called Aramea; his coat was blue from a distance, but appeared white as I drew closer. This Lion was joined by two other Lions on each side, one from the east and one from the west, with 5 stars upon each of their heads. The great Lion was named The Lion of Judah - Guardian of the CROSS.

The Lion of the east had a coat that shined like the sun that will burn its enemies as they approach. The Lion of the west had a coat made of coarse hair. When I looked closer, the coarse hairs opened up to reveal small swords, just like a pen-knife opens up. I was told that these swords were precise and could cut away the enemy without harming the earth or her people.

I saw how the ancient City of Babylon had long ago been taken to the north by those who had stolen many of her mysteries for evil gain. All the prophecies of old will come against this Mystery Babylon located in the north.

The land where old Babylon once stood is now named the City of Light, and it is the place where the children of Light will dwell. These are the sons and daughters from Abraham who have accepted the Light of the Creator's Anointing, joined by others of faith who have seen the Light of Anointing from the corners of the earth. Many are the children of Light who will gather there in unity of the Anointing Light.

The City of Light was uncovered before me and I saw the foundations of the walls were deep in the earth. These foundations were made of gold and they formed a circle around the city. At the center I saw an immense light that gathered it's brilliance from the circle of gold.

I was shown that ancient Babel tried to harness the mystery of the C-ENTER OF LIGHT by building a tower to re-direct it. The tower was destroyed by the Father of Light because the power of the C-ENTER was going to be used for evil.

I was shown again the surface of the city, and in the center was a garden filled with magnificent trees, and rivers flowed through it. There was only one gate into the garden and the Lion of Judah stands there ever vigilant.

The Southern Cross rising will not be complete until Mystery Babylon of the north has destroyed itself. The Law of One is the judgment that stands against Mystery Babylon. The forces Mystery Babylon will attempt to use against the earth will return to her 100 times, and this will destroy the harlot sitting on the throne of Mystery Babylon. Then a new city will appear in the north who will align with the south. This will be the first day of the new unity of the earth when the C-ENTER OF THE CROSS has come in full glory.

In order to understand what has recently happened and what is yet to come, it's necessary that the Truth about Aramea is revealed so that all the false re-written history can be set aside. We currently say "the Middle East" when, in all accuracy, we are referencing what was always known as "Aramea". By knowing the beginning, we shall know the end:

The Aramaic people have lived in the Middle East, which was first named “Aramea”, for three thousand years. During ancient times, the Arameans were known as the world's most prominent merchants. But more than this, they were the greatest cultural influence in the world. Their relatively easy language, Aramaic, and its simple alphabet with 22 letters spread quickly throughout the world. Nearly all of the world's alphabets today are originally derived from the Aramaic alphabet and its vowel system. It’s the only Semitic language in the World that has been used verbally and in writing without breaks for 3000 years. At the first century A.D. different Aramaic dialects were spoken in the area called the Fertile Crescent. The Aramaic dialect - which has been spoken inside the Assyrian and Babylonian borders since the 7th century BC - superseded all other Aramaic dialects. At the end of the 7th century BC, Aramaic was an international language among diplomacy, administration, and trading, and continued in its Syriac form to be a cultural means of communication in the Middle East until 600 A.D.

Since the 4th century AD, the Arameans have been without any state of their own. The post WWI modern borders of the Middle East have further divided Aramea into new border-nations like Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan (north), Israel (north), Turkey (south), etc.

According to the 4th Century writings of Eusebius of Caesarea, Aramean Edessa became an important centre for Syriac Christian culture, as did Antiochia (Antioch) become the centre of the Greek speaking church. King Abgar V Ukomo (the black) of Edessa (Urhoy) was Christianized during the lifetime of the Christ, Jesus. Jesus and the early Christian church all spoke Aramaic. The Aramaic dialect that was spoken in Edessa, which is called Syriac, became the standard language in the young Aramean first century Christian church. In this language, thousands of books were written and it is this language, Syriac-Aramaic, that today is used in the churches that use Syriac.

The Christian Arameans spread out into many countries; India, Tibet, Mongolia and China. Many Central Asian ethnic groups like Mongols and the Turks converted to Christianity and used the Syriac-Aramaic liturgy. But after a few centuries, they converted to Islam. Thereafter, the name Syriac became totally connected to Christian Arameans. In Kerala, in southern India, there are still Syrian churches with almost 10-12 million adherents who have Syriac-Aramaic as the church language.

Islam elevated Arabic to a divine language and it become necessary for Arameans to learn Arabic. As the Arameans/Syriacs adopted the Arabic language, they forgot their Aramaic/Syriac language. Today, a majority of the Aramean people speak only Arabic while a smaller group still speaks an Aramaic language with modern dialects.

Until the end of the 13th century, the Arameans were a majority in Aramea (Middle East) but, at the end if that century, the area was conquered by the Mongolian Timur Lenk. Most of the Aramean population were obliterated, and the ones that were left became a minority. During the last 700 years, the Arameans/Syriacs have been constantly victimized for different religious massacres mostly executed by fundamentalist Kurds and Turks. The last large massacre took place in 1915 when an estimated 500,000 Christian Arameans were killed in in southeast of what is now Turkey.

In the Old Testament and in the Hebrew Torahs, there is a lot to read about the Hebrew's relation to the Arameans. Even the Hebrews were Arameans, especially during their early history. The great patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were Arameans (at Deuteronomy 26:5 it says "My ancestor was a wandering Armenian"). From history, most know that the Jews were held captive in the city of Babylon by Babylonian Armaneans. This is now the country named Iraq.

It was necessary to go through a brief history of Aramea so that we can all begin to understand current events. Everything concerning Iraq, Israel, Iran (Persia), and the entire Middle East at this time, is directly related to Aramea.

Aramea, the Middle East, is at the C-ENTER of the CROSS (CRUX).
