For so many years, we thought that having an Eternal Flame put on graves of important people or memorials was a great honor.  Well.......how wrong we were.  I do not know the significance of why this happened but I hope and expect  it was the Almighty God Yahuah  sending a message to these 'falsely Illuminated ones".  About the time of when the Olympic Flame died at 11:14 London time, I'd sure be interested in knowing what the numbers experts on this forum have to tell.  Below the article you will find a link of which I copied a portion to entice the reader.  gerlinda

The Eternal Flame

Throughout history you will find this symbol being used. This symbol more often than not represents the possession of knowledge. (I.e. The celebration of those who are in possession of the knowledge and their power over those who aren't). The flaming torch being all illuminating, with knowledge represented by the fire.

    An example of this would be the legend of Prometheus (another Christ like figure) who was said to have symbolically handed fire to humanity to illuminate us with wisdom and knowledge (for what good it has done!).

As with 'Sun Symbolism', the Eternal Flame carries with it the classic theme of 'Illuminism' (not to be confused with general 'Illumination').

Illuminism is the concept, the original founding philosophy of the oldest seeds of the Illuminati. That one can draw power over not only ones own destiny but the destiny of others also (for self service).

This is at the heart of what Illuminism is, which is why you will see the flame used as a symbol across the globe.
