ReplyDelete"My intuitive mind tells me that thats saturns bones holding the emerald tablet instead of hermes and either babalon or venus wrote the tablet. Christians believe satan can shape shift now but what about back then? and god got away because he was resurrected. then he barges in on saturn and babalon and thrusts saturn through with his own arrows. shameful spewing. (habbakkuk 2) and venus comes as a thief. supposedly. that was after habbakkuk chapter three where the continental babalon was flooded where the mediterannean sea is now. revelation is the geo cycle. i think its getting hot already. was and is not yet according to crazy voices is again."
