Hi Frank,

     Posting the prophetic pursuit began once again with 'the Gates of Europe' disclosure 12 days ago. I have been watching this story since 2007.
     The EU deliberately adopted a copy of the Tower of Babel for it's Parliament Building to mock and challenge God for supremacy and dominion. The EU has also adopted the demonic goal of unity at any cost. The cost in combining totally dissimilar peoples together is always compromise. We'll compromise the value to society of marriage and stable homes for children, so that pedophiles, homosex and beastial unions become commonplace. We can't refuse any marriage request, because that would alienate people who love. Laws built over two millennia that carefully protect family foundations and just principles were officially abandoned by the parliament, the courts and depraved individuals. To create unity, the EU suddenly supported any apostasy allowing any vice to prosper to seduce the masses.  As in ancient Babylon, the EU has elevated it's twisted unity above God. It's the ultimate symbolism above substance. Man's corruption above God's perfect justice. You can't keep two sets of books. The truth is never a flexible commodity.
       Because, of it's ceaseless overspending to create this phony manmade Utopia, the banks in Spain collapsed in 2008. In order to keep up the charade, the EU was forced to create a Spanish Nat'l Bank, to hide and maintain it's corruption, fraud, money laundering, cradle to grave welfare benefits and early retirement pensions. The Spanish banking system also needed a facelift and a bailout, the EU chose to house and 'protect' this bank inside a building it renamed 'the Gates of Europe' Surprise, surprise, the EU statists once again returned to Babylon to mystically protect themselves against the truth. The new Babylon ( the EU ) needed a gate to protect itself from exposure. The ultimate collapse of the EU economy needed to be prolonged for yet another season.
       I provided a link to the 'Gates of Babylon' story that's been out there since 2007, primary candidate Hussein travelled to Berlin after losing the first three primaries to the favorite; Hillary Clinton. After, making it to Berlin and a 'private visit' to the ancient evil that has been reassembled there, Hussein never lost another election.
       We know by historical reconstruction what happened in Berlin, Hussein became the Beast of Revelation and the whole world marveled. He's grown into an unstoppable juggernaut of deception and rebellion against God, heaven and all His angels. The whole world has fallen under his influence and power.
       Of course, once anointed by EVIL the ultimate agenda never ends until all creation turns to chaos. Hussein's ambition has only grown in dimension, scope and depravity. Hussein immediately abused his office to export the tyranny of democracy to the Arab world. He's not only fatally poisoned the USA, he's can't rest until, 'the apple of god's eye; Israel is dead and buried. He'll no doubt turn those newly liberated democracies loose to destroy Israel.
       Surprisingly, the prophetic puzzle has now been turned into a predictable road map. Evil's exposed and operating out in the open now. We can spot every ancient symbol of paganism, apostasy and the occult, it adorns the official EU coins, currency, stamps and artwork. As I briefly mentioned, all recent EU construction bears the mark of evil, because it's leaders and politicians can't help themselves. They are caught in an evil trance. They are completely dependent upon evil for their power, salary and future. Formally rejecting the truth, they believed a lie.
       Today, whenever the opposition proposes any cuts in social programs, or moderation of aberrant behavior; the enemy rises like 'legion' and angrily rejects any return to orthodoxy, stability, or commonsense. They can only respond by using profanity and hate speech, because rebellion at this level is inexcusable. They are literally foaming at the mouth with anger whenever anyone challenges their depravity.       
       Do you understand the Gates of Babylon, Europe and Hell now Frank? I've done all I can to generate buzz and spread around what God's made obvious. If you read the extreme and overwhelming evidence I've posted 'the devil's really in the details' my friend. Look at my reference file below;

Following the prophetic revelation of the End Times spirit of rebellion
alive and on the march to create the final kingdom of Antichrist, it's
certainly been an exciting and challenging ten day chase.
      Yesterday, when news broke of the archaeologic discovery of an ancient
temple built around the 'Gates of Hell' of Greek mythology, examination of these
reports yielded another treasure trove of fresh evidence of the struggle between
good and evil. Remember, interpret these news stories to the information we
already have been given from the Bible.
      I'm convinced that we're able to follow the clues that God has purposely left
behind for us to follow at that dig site. We can only reach logical conclusions. First,
both heaven and hell are quite real. There wouldn't be a literal 'gate of hell' to guard
it otherwise.
      We also learned from the same archeologist that the Apostle St. Philip was
initially buried at the very same location where he found the ancient Greek temple.
The Greeks made pilgrimages to this temple to experience messages and prophecies
from their pagan deities. Carbon dioxide and other noxious vapors apparently cause
visual hallucinations. Like the Oracle at Delphi, the 'Gates of Hell' rivaled, or exceeded
that ancient temple in importance to the ancient Greeks. Let what I've just said sink
in for a moment.
         The ancient Tomb of the Apostle Philip is located in the ruins of an early
Christian church that later occupied the site. Wow, both pagan Greeks and followers
of Jesus Christ have now returned to Asia Minor to locate and interpret the spiritual
significance of ancient gates, temples and tombs. Only then can we hope to understand
prophecies and interpret messages being sent to us by God.
         Nothing here could possibly be coincidental folks. Of course, when I looked
for more confirmation, Pandora's Box sprung wide open. Enjoy another exciting
adventure with me, I hope you'll open your minds and hearts to tell me what the HS
is saying to you about my writing. Please contribute whatever God sends your way! That's
all I'm doing at this late date. Thank you, Jesus!

A Closer Look at the Gates of Hell


I hope I don’t ruin one of your favorite verses. Ok, I kind of hope I do. But only so it can be one of your favorite verses in a better way.

In Matthew 16 Jesus takes his disciples to the district of Caesarea Philippi to ask them a question, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” They stumble around a bit giving the latest Facebook updates from the crowd. Then Peter pipes up. “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” What a guy, Cephas. Jesus commends his outspoken disciple, “You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hellshall not prevail against it” (v. 18). Since the Reformation there has been a lot of discussion about “this rock” and what it means for the authority of the Pope (not much it turns out). There has been little controversy, however, about the phrase “the gates of hell.”

I’ve heard several sermons on “the gates of hell” and have seen the phrase referenced in Christian books numerous times. The second half of Matthew 16:18 has to be one of the top ten favorite Bible promises. I can hear the voices right now: “Think about the picture here. Jesus says the gates of hell will not prevail against the church. Now tell me, how do gates prevail? When have you ever seen gates on the march? They don’t attack. They fortify. They are there to hold their ground. That’s all. Hell is not on the offensive, brothers and sisters. The church is. The church is marching into all the hells in this world, ready to reclaim every square inch for Christ. And when we stormthe gates of hell, Christ promises we cannot fail. We will prevail! It’s time to put the devil on the run. It’s time to save souls and destroy strongholds. It’s time to reclaim this world for Christ. Listen up church, the gates of hell shall not prevail against us!”

Of course, who can fault the zeal to save souls, make a difference in the world, or fight the good fight? The only problem is that the whole thing is built on faulty exegesis. One of the cardinal rules of biblical interpretation is to let the Bible interpret the Bible. So when we come to a phrase like “the gates of hell” we need to stop ourselves from imagining what we thinkthis means, and do the hard work of finding out what it actually does mean.
The phrase pulai hadou (gates of hell) is a Jewish expression meaning “realm of the dead.” The same two words appear in the Septuagint version of Job 38:17–”Have the gates of death been revealed to you, or have you seen the gates of deep darkness [puloroi de hadou]?”). They appear again in Isaiah 38:10–”I said in the middle of my days I must depart; I am consigned to the gates of Sheol [pulais hadou] for the rest of my years”. In both passages, pulai hadou is a euphemism for death. Notice the parallelism in both passages. The first half of each verse clarifies that the second half of the verse is not about hell but about death. The gates of hell represent the passageway from this life to the grave.
Consequently, Jesus’ promise to Peter is not about storming Satan’s lair and conquering demonic powers. In fact, the repeated injunction in Ephesians 6 is “to stand.” Christ defeated the devil (John 16:11 [1]). Our responsibility is to hold fast and resist. We are not demonslayers. The promise in Matthew 16 is not about venturing out on some Dungeons and Dragons spiritual crusade, but about Christ’s guarantee that the church will not be vanquished by death.
If you think about it, this makes much more sense of the imagery. Defensive gates can be used in an offensive way because Jesus is simply talking about death. Death stalks each one of us, but those who confess Jesus as the Christ know that death is not the end. We have the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Cor. 15:57). Jesus isn’t asking us to conquer anything, except perhaps our fear of the grave.

So preach and believe in Matthew 16:18 with all your might. But don’t misunderstand the promise. Jesus assures us of something even better than triumphalism here and now. He promises eternal life. With intense opposition and persecution, the early church was under attack from the gates of hell. But just as Jesus conquered the grave, sothe gates of hell-death itself-will not prevail against those who belong to Christ. Or as Jesus himself puts it, “Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet he shall live (John 11:25).
That makes Matthew 16:18 a pretty cool promise after all.

Is this the Gate of Hell?
Archaeologists say temple doorway belching noxious gas matches ancient accounts of a
'portal to the underworld'

    Site in ancient city of Hierapolis, now Pamukkale in southwestern Turkey
    Matches historical descriptions of what was thought be entrance to hell
    Birds flying past are killed by noxious gasses emanating from the doorway
    Inscriptions on temple columns are dedications to gods of the underworld




Archaeologists say they have discovered the 'Gates of Hell', the mythical portal to the underworld in Greek and Roman legend. The site, in the ancient Phrygian city of Hierapolis, now Pamukkale in southwestern Turkey, is said to closely match historical descriptions of what was known as Ploutonion in Greek and Plutonium in Latin.

Describing the site, the Greek geographer Strabo (64/63 BC -- about 24 A.D.) said:
'This space is full of a vapor so misty and dense that one can scarcely see the ground.
'Any animal that passes inside meets instant death. I threw in sparrows and they immediately breathed their last and fell.'

But now a team led by Italian Archaeologist Francesco D'Andria, professor of classic archaeology at the University of Salento, has discovered what they believe to be the ruins of the site.
Announcing the discovery at a conference on Italian archaeology in Istanbul, Mr D'Andria said he and his team had managed to pinpoint the location by reconstructing the route of a thermal springs.
Archaeologists now believe that a large statue found at the site, previously believed to depict the god Apollo, is actually showing Hades

Among the ruins the archaeologists found a cave with Ionic semi columns upon which were inscriptions with dedications to the gods of the underworld -- Pluto and Kore.
Mr D'Andria told Discovery News: 'We could see the cave's lethal properties during the excavation.
'Several birds died as they tried to get close to the warm opening, instantly killed by the carbon dioxide fumes.'
The archaeologist, who famously claimed to have found the tomb of Saint Philip, one of the 12 apostles of Jesus Christ, in Hierapolis, in 2011.
The ancient city was founded around 190BC by Eumenes II, King of Pergamum. It was taken over by the Romans in 133 B.C..
Under Roman rule the city flourished. There were temples, a theater and people flocked to bathe in the hot springs which were believed to have healing properties.
Today Pamukkale is well known for the stunning white travertine terraces which are the result of the hot springs.
Mr D'Andria has conducted extensive archaeological research at Hierapolis and two years ago he claimed to discover there the tomb of Saint Philip, one of the 12 apostles of Jesus Christ.
D'Andria also found the remains of a pool and the steps placed above the cave which match the descriptions of the site in ancient sources.

Speaking to Discovery TV channel he gave a fascinating description of what life might have been like around the cave in ancient times.
He said: 'People could watch the sacred rites from these steps, but they could not get to the area near the opening. Only the priests could stand in front of the portal.
According to the archaeologist, pilgrims arriving at the site were given small birds to test the deadly effects of the cave, while priests sacrificed bulls to Pluto hallucinating madly from the toxic fumes.
The site remained fully functional until the 4th century A.D. and  became an important pilgrimage destination for the last pagan intellectuals.
Historians believe the site was sacked by Christians in the 6th century A.D., with several earthquakes adding to the damage.

Europe is the New Babylon

"3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit on a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5 And on her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration." (Rev 17:3-6)

 Biblical Prophecies in Daniel 2 and 7 indicate that something resembling a Holy Roman Empire will be the dominant force in the world when our Lord returns. Putting together Daniel and Revelation many interpretations indicate that Europe is a very likely candidate to fulfil this role. Certainly if we put together many symbols associated with the European Union (EU) it is difficult not to appreciate the associations. Here we present just a few of those symbolisms:

The flag:


The European Union’s flag consists of 12 stars, inspired by the halo of 12 stars that appear around every Madonnas in Catholic pictures of her. A former secretary general of the Council of Europe, Leon Marchal, affirmed that the stars are those of "the woman of the Apocalypse." Enthusiastically he explained, "It’s wonderful that we have gotten back to the Introit of the new Mass of the Assumption. It’s the corona stellarum duodecim (the crown of the twelve stars) of the woman of the Apocalypse." This is a reference to the woman in Revelation 12 who appears with a crown of 12 stars. Although this woman represents Israel, the Catholic Church has always claimed that she represents the virgin Mary, "the mother of God."  
The EU, which now has 25 member countries, has confirmed that the number of stars will always stay at 12, which indicates that the stars do not represent countries. The number will remain 12 no matter how many countries there are in the European Union

The Anthem

Europe’s new common anthem is: "Ode to Joy," the prelude to the last movement of Beethoven’s ninth symphony. The anthem officially is the "Ode to Joy," it really is an "ode to freedom" to a sense of community and to peace between the 25 countries which have decided to unite and to others which will freely decide to join them."
To note that "Ode to Joy" is not quite that innocent as people believe. The lyrics, by a man named Friedrich von Schiller, concern the entering of the shrine of a pagan goddess and the uniting of all men in brotherhood, by the power of magic. Indeed Europe is fast abandoning Christianity and moving with great speed into a pagan heathen society looking ever more to the "magic", how fitting its anthem. Even its proposed Constitution has deliberately made sure that no reference to God be included, thus denying its Christian foundation.
The EU constitution does not mention of Christianity as part of Europe’s cultural heritage, while at the same time, including references to the civilizations of Greece and Rome, and the philosophical heritage of the Enlightenment.  EU government representatives excused this revisionist view of history by claiming any mention of Christian values would upset the Muslim population of the EU.  What a lame excuse that convinces no one, just think, would the Muslim states avoid mentioning Islam in their constitution because it may upset the Christian living amongst them.  What a pathetic excuse, the truth is that these pagans want to get rid of Christianity.
We see here a commemorative Italian coin of euro depicting Europa on the beast with a pen in one hand holding the European constitution.  Clearly meaning that the European constitution is not based or given by God, but written by a pagan goddess. Cannot be more clear.

The woman riding a beast

Another revealing thing that is being used in conjunction with the European Union is the one from Revelation 17 where a "great harlot" is depicted riding a beast.  This symbol is being used to represent the EU. For example, to commemorate the first European Parliament elections in 1979 Britain issued a stamp depicting the picture of a woman riding a beast.
Of course this represent the mythical Europa: according to legend, Zeus was enamoured of Europa and decided to seduce or ravage her, in the Greek mythology. He transformed himself into a bull and mixed in with her father's herds. While Europa and her female attendants were gathering flowers, she saw the bull, caressed his flanks, and eventually got onto his back. Zeus took that opportunity and ran to the sea and swam, with her on his back, to the island of Crete. He then revealed his true identity, and Europa became the first queen of Crete. Zeus later re-created the shape of the bull in the stars, which is now known as the constellation Taurus.
No doubt this is the source of this symbol so prominent in the EU building of power, nonetheless the similitude with the woman of Rev 17 cannot be escaped.
Here some examples of recent Europa representation of the EU:
    
    
Tower of Babel

Europe is setting itself up in direct opposition to God. It is slowly changing laws to squeeze the Christian church out, and it makes no secret of this. An amazing poster was issued by the European Union, showing the Tower of Babel and carrying the slogan: "Many tongues, one voice." To make sure the point of connection with the EU was not lost, a crane in the background is shown rebuilding the tower. The Biblical tower of Babel was built in rebellion to God, man like Lucifer wanting to be free of God and be like Him: "And they said, Come, let us build us a city, and a tower, whose top [may reach] unto heaven, and let us make us a name; lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth." (Gen 11:4) What do you think rebuilding the tower means? Surely to restart building the tower of rebellion is for them "freedom", for decadent ungodly Europe says: "God is dead".
Above the Tower of Babel there are the 12 eurostars, in similitude to the 12 stars around the head of the various Mary. But, do note also that the stars are inverted as typically satanic, pointing down.
The European Parliament in Strasburg was modelled on a painting done in 1563 of the Tower of Babel, by Pieter Brueghel the Elder, a Flemish Northern Renaissance Painter.
It is hard to escape the notion that the second Babylon is now being rebuilt in Europe, and those who would follow Nimrod have now succeeded in building a parliament building in Strasbourg, France, whose centrepiece is an enormous replica of the unfinished tower of Babel. Indeed the building is commonly referred to as "The Tower of Eurobabel."
This building tower known as the Louise Weiss Building looks unfinished, of course, for it was designed with the expressed purpose of resembling the tower of Babel as depicted in Brueghel's painting.  The similitude is striking.
Is Scripture being fulfilled before our eyes, for those with eyes to see?
The EU is definitely becoming a world power of clay (diversity) and iron (power) with striking similarities to the fourth kingdom or fourth beast of Daniel’s prophecies.  A world power of so many ethnic groups and representing so many states could easily become a very influential leader at the United Nations and the world.  It’s possible that the U.N. is a beginning for this world government that will eventually be ruled by a revived Roman Empire and the Antichrist.
The stage seems to be set for the emergence of a global political system (the EU), a global economic system (the Euro), and a global religious system (the ecumenical  movement).  The EU would seem to fulfil many of the prophesies of the fourth kingdom that is to come, from which will arise the Antichrist of the end-times.  Indeed, plans are being prepared for an EU presidency that will replace the current 6 month rotating presidency, creating a powerful international leader with great influence at the United Nations and on the global stage.  The new president would be elected by government heads of EU members and would hold office for five years, or more, some even say for life.  What it is wanted is a powerful president of the EU as head of a European government with full legal and executive power, removing the “sovereign rights” of single nations.
Only time will tell, but the signs are there and we should be preparing for the coming of our King, our Lord.  Come Lord, come quickly.
