As i was reading the BBC news story on the Elgin Marbles (headless statue of Ilissos) being on loan from the British Museum to the State Hermitage Museum of St. Petersberg (the city where Putin was born and started his political career) - i recalled an interesting set of synchronicities that happened in the Fall of 2012 that i wish to share with the Forum.
In Sept/Oct 2012 i had just visited Athens, Greece for the first time; and like all tourists in Athens i visited the stunning Parthenon, and the new Acropolis Museum. The Museum was amazing, and definitely one of the best designed museums in Europe. Besides a stunning display of historical Greek artefacts, At the 3rd floor of the museum, they have a display of all the marbles sculptures on the Parthenon that the Greek government managed to recover over the years. It was off course lacking the Elgin marbles, but one could walk around the sculptures in a rectangle path, and observe/view up close sculptures as it was displayed in the Parthenon in antiquity. It seemed to me as a symbolical "rebuilding" of the Parthenon temple, which was situated directly adjacent on the acropolis hill, overlooking the museum. I could not help but wonder at the mythological underpinnings, and knowledge encoded in these sculptures, and resolved to at least research more about their meanings (still have not worked on this after 2 years - Greek mythology and history books still in the unread pile, waiting...:) ).
Subsequently, i was also reading Laura's book the Noah syndrome during that time and was back in Hong Kong after the Athens visit. On page 163, chapter 9; there was a quote from McBirnie's "Antichrist" - stating : 3. The Gentile rule ends in Jerusalem, and the rebuilding of the temple has begun. Immediately, the only thought i had in my mind upon reading this sentence was the symbolically "rebuilt" parthenon marbles at the new acropolis museum. Not sure why this museum stuck into my mind at that point as the quote was referring to Jerusalem ! Nonetheless as my knowledge of the bible is weak, i was reading on further Laura's explanations; that this quote from Mc Birnie's is attributed to Daniel 8:13-14. Also quoted from Daniel "And he said to him and me, for 2300 evenings and mornings (6.3 years); then the sanctuary shall be cleansed and restored". Laura further states in the following pages that the Greek word used/spoken by Paul in II Thessalonians for temple (naos) refers to man as the temple of God; and does not actually refer to the Temple in Jerusalem, of which another word is used (hieron); hence the facts "rebuilt temple", "Man as temple of God" and "6.3 years" refused to leave my thoughts...
Immediately i checked the acropolis museum's completion and opening date in Wikipedia; and the opening date was 20th June 2009 ! This is the date of the C's communication, stating 5 more years to Year 0. This was amazingly close to the 6.3 years figure from Daniel 8:13-14 .....
Today as i was recalling back these thoughts - i recalled the C's communication 17th May 2014, where they mention that there is about 11 months before the stock markets starts to tank..... this is quite closer to the 6.3 years from 20th June 2009..." the beginning of the cleansing of the temple of Man perhaps " ;)
Ilissos, is also a river that runs along the defensive walls of Athens, and it banks were reportedly where Socrates used to hang out with his students for walks :). Illissos has also a connection to the Eleusinian Mysteries, and the temple Eleusinion, which was also at the base of the acropolis hill. Not sure how where exactly is its location in relation to the new acropolis museum....
Not sure what all these synchornicities mean, but they certainly came back to my thoughts today after reading the news on the Elgin Marbles....
