Isaiah 28:14 "We have entered into a covenant with Death and the Grave. We have made an agreement. When the overwhelming scourge sweeps by, we have made a lie of our falsehood hiding place".
Ominous Black card 13 brings with it the definitive "Rider on the White Horse", who brings to the fore the inevitable end and final epilogue minutes of the Age as reflected in Revelations 4th last Chapter. Throughout history our ancestors cautioned us to the foreboding covert cover of the number 13 that associates death and the ascendancy of the venerated Saint whose husband was the "Maker". To whom God says, "For a brief moment I abandoned you, but with deep compassion. In a surge of anger, I hid my face from you, but with everlasting kindness. I, your Lord and Redeemer, will bring you back!". Fulfilling the promise that leads to the Future Glory of Zion that ordains the belated precious corner-stone denounced and rejected by Saint Peter's misunderstanding.
The Death Tarot Deck Card illustrates Revelations prediction of the dreaded Doomsday where Satan is seen arriving on his White Horse - deliverance of mass Death is his funeral assignment.
Satan is seen holding a Black and White Standard reminding us of the finish line's checkered flag. The symbol on the flag is the Five-Pent (The pathway) Petal Dog Star. Its intention is to draw us to the definitive Roseline. The pole and outstretched flag represents the original time meridian, which dates back to the start of creation but completes one full circle every 25920 years. The 21st of December 2012 being the next birthday as calculated by the Mayans.
The Reaper carries a black banner emblazoned with the Mystic Rose, which according to Arthur Waite (tarot collaborated artist) symbolises life or rebirth.
The Scottish people celebrate the yearly cycle of Hogmanay. On New Years Eve, this festive event commemorates the small cycle of a year within the large cycle of 25920 years. At 12.00 on the 31st of December, the annual orginal measuring line in the sky maps out to reveal a number of periodic secrets. Polaris-Alpha is the current northern pole star and is considered to be the celestial mid-point. If we were to join the Hogmanay celebrations at 12.00 midnight in the centre of King Lot's Midlothian Kingdom, at Latitude : 55°57', and use Lancelot's lance as our crude hand-held astronomical plumb-line measuring tool on Princes Street. It reveals, God's original measuring line, as told in Isaiah 28;17. This reverencial event links the Gates of Heaven with Sirius the DoG-GoD star and Polaris-Alpha. Sirius is associated with Isis. The alignment of the star signified the advent of a new year and Isis was likewise considered the Goddess of Death, Rebirth and Reincarnation. The Book of the Dead outlines a particular ritual that would protect the dead, enabling the soul to travel anywhere in the underworld, and most of the titles Isis holds signify her as the Goddess of Protection of the Dead.
Scotland has the oldest rocks on the planet, Genesis of life evolved in Scotland. The horse's reins that are used to guide the horse display skull and Black and White Saltire which are symbols of Death and the Magdalene, the skull being one of the favoured impressions of the renaissance masters imagery to transpire there occult knowledge. The Saltire is Scotland's National Flag that has duplicate connotations to Jesus (Xmas) and Mary Magdalene as M is the 13th letter in the alphabet, represented by the Saint Andrews cross in the marine flag. X is also our preferred embodiment to emphasize our hot-blooded emotions, it is the prestige symbol of consenting Lovers.
Underneath the horse's belly, a collection of significant props are used to indicate our fate. In vertical order, starting from the horse's girdle strap. Firstly, a number of silhouetted trees can be seen being engulfed by cascading waves. A little further down, a ship is in full-sail toward a perturbed wall of waves. Not far from the unconcerned boat, the sea turns yellow, which is indicative of Revelations 20:11-15 - The Lake of Fire. Judgement Day, appraisal and estimation is now valued, the time has come to weigh our souls. Compassion, Righteousness and Love are weighed, and counterbalanced against the weight of our sins. The "Dead are Judged" with an imminent "No Returns" policy for the condemned, leading them disgraced, shamed and naked towards excruciating, tortured second death, as witnessed by a number of people through the ages who have come back from the mystery of death and espoused their traumatic, Apocalyptic visions in their "NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE", said to be found within the departed souls' enigmatic journey advocated by Jacob's dream interpretation on the Stone of Destiny (pillow/portal/entrance) that led towards the seven stepped ladder towards the Light at the End of the Tunnel that reunites us with the Home of God. Collective prophetic testimony is affirmed by the Journeyman's wisdom of Elijah, Daniel and Enoch found in the Old Testament. They pronounce and swear the keeper of heaven's secrets with their graphic insights that have terrified the living daylight minds and tormented the sensitive inclination emotions of our hearts that have triggered generations to seek atonement and penance as they redress their amends in preparation of evaluation "Bloody Hell Day".
Isaiah 26;14 They are now dead, they live no more; those departed spirits do not rise. You punished them and brought them to ruin; you wiped out all memory of them.
Many faiths cling to the hope of reincarnation and the inheritance of karma after ethical lives of "Good Deeds". The New Testament expands our Knowledge of God's Upper Kingdom, found in Matthew 25:31;46, who recants Jesus' parable that illustrates the clear teachings that when the day of reckoning comes the sheep and goats will be separated by the Good Shepherd. The ones on the right will be blessed by the Good Shepherd's Father while the left's unfortunate perjured faithless will be "Cursed in the eternal fire prepared by the Devil and his Angels". Harrowing cries and screams will echo from the agonizing Infernal Chambers of Hell. Thus confirming the shocking truth of apprehension horror that casts a black overshadowing bearing towards sinning and the fate of human moral existence.
A body is shown lying in a watery grave. The victim's fine red shoes can be seen exposed. This unlucky person is wearing what appears to be an opulent shawl, which is orthodox clothing consistent with the powerful men and Kings depicted on other Tarot cards. His Golden Crown, the sign of power, prosperity and authority, lies rejected at the hoof of the white horse. This image of despair suggests that Satan has no preconceived prejudice.
Just in front of the Horse's forehead, the twin towers are on view, giving us an uncanny reminder of the Twin Trade Towers, which carry the ominous predicament of the price paid for the start of the oil and terror wars that have led us to the brink of an unprecedented financial Armageddon. The destitute loan fire wall furnace, gives us vital months to ponder before the main event.
The twin towers also represent the Moon-Goddess tarot card. Between the towers on the death card, the sun's twilight trajectory is visible. Between the two towers, the artist has contrived the effect of a union or even eclipse of these two powerful symbols. The twin towers guide us back to the orginal Masonic Temple on the start line at Roslin, this in turn is a replica of King Solomon's (Sun and Moon) Temple, where 1 Kings, verse 22/7, states that the pillars of Jakin and Boaz hold aloft the bowl arc shape. |
