Is this representative of Catholic thought.. that ultimately Christ is the "Man of SIN"?
I guess, I'm not really familiar with Catholic doctrine, other than seeing arguments about praying to Mary,iirc
To me it makes sense, for several reasons
~ Mathematical astronomy was the basis of everything in Mesopotamia
.
~ At one point in history, the " King " was also the " High Priest ", and when you go back far enough into Mesopotamian history, the " High Priest " was also the " head astronomer ", who would have been schooled in mathematical astronomy ( Moon cycles, eclipses, oppositions, conjunctions ( syzygy in general )
.
~ The character of Abraham is said to have studied this exact body of knowledge in Ur, Babylonia. IOW, it is claimed he studied the mathematical astronomy that was handed down from the original Sumerian priests, which by that time in Ur, had passed into the hands of the Chaldeans
.
~ This same group of astronomical occurrences is written of in the Bible numerous times, including knowledge of axial tilt of the Earth on the ecliptic ( causing the seasons and the signs ), intercalation of the solar, lunar AND stellar calendars ( Most folks only know the luni-solar intercalation, but there is a third and even fourth body of intercalary calculations that span the full Mazzaroth ( Zodiac ), eclipse periodicity
.
The knowledge of this astronomy was " encoded " with gematria ( Which was joined from Sumero-Akkadian sources to an Aramaic script during " Babylonian captivity ( At the same time they had to invent the sofit letter forms to make the alphabet match to the system of bases ), so you have the adoption of both items at the same time, with, forensically, is
huge
I could talk for months on this, so I will stop dropping walls of " facts " ( I have my own forum for these topics on Mesopotamian mathematical astronomy / literature and the Bible and Biblical prophecy actually, to avoid boring people on forums like this ), but I want to say there is far more evidence for this, than against it
That Christ is the " Man of Sin ", and that the " Man of Sin " is the " High Priest " of Sin, the Moon God, because we know in Psalms it says that the Moon is what we are to base our calendars on ( This is because the synodic month average that is the basis of the ancient luni-solar calendar
I feel the " great falling away " will happen when all these people who have created things that are not based on scripture ( New Jerusalem spaceship, rapture, microchip implants ) are the " false prophet " in Revelation, because singular tenses can also refer to plurals, this is common in idiomatic and allegorical speech, ie, the " false prophet " is not a single individual, but an archetype
In short, people are going to leave their religions, because it will turn out their religions and ideas are built on nothing more than misconceptions and lies, and have nothing to do with what the scriptures actually say
The Parable of the Tenants also speaks of Christs rejection,
in his own words
Think about it like this
How embarrassed would people be, if Jesus came back, and then they were like " pfffffffffffft, that's Jesus ?.....that's not
my Jesus,...I know Jesus and that's definitely not him "
....but then it turned out it was in the end, and he had never hid anything, so people have no excuses for denying him ( like the scriptures say )
That would probably be so embarrassing people would literally feel like they were sitting in a lake of fire
And the " devil " ( Which is the goat sacrifice Jesus replaced, essentially it
is Jesus ) is mocked and ridiculed, like the Parable of the Tenants says he will be ( In his own words ) and
cast into the lake of fire with the false prophet....
Sounds more to me, like God will catch everybody completely unaware and unprepared, and there is going to be some embarrassment and hard lessons learned
But if you think about it, who takes on the hardest lessons on our behalf ?
Jesus Christ
