FINAL WARNING: The Curtain Falls
populations of these various countries. With the establishment of the
nation of Israel, and in fulfillment of prophecy, many Jews from many
lands have returned to their home. The seventh chapter of Revelation
speaks of a ‘sealing’ of 144,000 Jews from the following tribes: Judah,
Reuben, Gad, Asher, Naphtali, Simeon, Levi, Issachar, Zebulon,
Joseph, Benjamin, and Manasses (substituted for Dan). It is assumed
that they will be from within the population of the nation of Israel. Is it
possible that there is still pure-blood descendents of these tribes? One
would assume that if they are not, can they still be considered
members of the tribe? If so, and with their Jewish roots lost, are the
various branches that migrated to other countries, where they still
continue to live, able to consider themselves as representative of their
respective tribes?Following this course of speculative thinking, can we use this as
another confirmation to prove that the ten ‘lost’ tribes, which migrated
westward into the area now known as Europe, is actually the “ten
horns” or “ten kings,” which is believed to be Europe.I mentioned earlier that Leonardo Da Vinci was a member of the
Prieuré de Sion. As a matter of fact, from 1510-1519, he was the
Nautonnier (‘helmsman’) or Grand Master of the group. One interesting
piece of information I found out was that Da Vinci was alleged to have
been the one who forged and painted the Shroud of Turin, which is
purported to be the burial cloth of Jesus, which is now in possession
of the Catholic Church. The authenticity of this cloth has been debated
for many years. After it was carbon dated and determined that it is not
old enough to have been the burial cloth, then came testing which
proved that there was an organic bacterial coating over it which
distorts carbon dating results.It was Dr. Leoncio A. Garza-Valdes, a microbiologist who reached that
determination. In a quest to once and for all prove its authenticity, he
went a bit farther. There were ‘sticky tape’ samples taken from areas of
the shroud that appeared to be blood. Garza-Valdes had these
remnants from the left hand (by the STURP group in 1978), and from
the occipital region (by Riggi in 1988). Not only was he able to
determine that it was actually blood, but that it was the blood (AB
group) of a human male.
