Life Among the Ruins (Temple of Baal in NYC)
New York Times ^ | 3/22/2015 | KANISHK THAROOR

NEXT month, the Temple of Baal will come to Times Square. Reproductions of the 50-foot arch that formed the temple’s entrance are to be installed in New York and in London, a tribute to the 2,000-year-old structure that the Islamic State destroyed last year in the Syrian town of Palmyra. The group’s rampage through Palmyra, a city that reached its peak in the second and third century A.D., enraged the world, spurring scholars and conservationists into action. Numerous nongovernmental organizations are now cataloging and mapping damaged cultural heritage sites in the region.

It will be uncanny and thrilling to see this arch from an ancient desert civilization set against the bright lights of New York. Unfortunately, facsimiles can achieve only so much. Denuded of people, stripped of the rich social contexts in which they were once embedded, antiquities appear just as evidence of the grandeur of the past, the accomplishments of another place in another time. But what did these assemblages of stone mean to the modern Iraqis and Syrians who lived with them?

For Salam al-Kuntar, a Syrian archaeologist who works at the University of Pennsylvania Museum, the loss of the Temple of Baal was deeply personal. “I have a special love for Palmyra because the Temple of Baal is where my mother was born,” she said.

But these same “historians” rip crosses off the graves in a military cemetery.

Isn’t funny how a few years ago we would consider much of this simply historic artifact...

And today with the world essentially on fire our soul catches its breath!

An army called ISIS, Baal Temples/Arches being not just resurrected but “installed,” our public school children being taught about islam to the point of saying the shahada, and an election cycle that is so, so crazy for a Christian nation one can only stand back in complete awe and prayer!

I thought that SG-1 and the Tok’ra had found all the Ba’al clones?

To begin a battle against spiritual evil its necessary to correctly identify it, to learn its name so it will then become revealed (spiritually)

This is a spiritual incursion taking place,

Western Christian nations are being attacked and invaders are being flooded in having an evil spirit while our leaders have become reprobate and will not resist and even now would hinder those that would stand up,

We were attacked on 9/11, NYC especially was attacked, and yet instead of how our natural mind would perceive it, instead of resisting and making it much more difficult for it to claim new followers here, we began to talk about it and even embrace it and soon after we willingly elected a stealth Sunni Marxist adherent to that same evil to the White House who immediately set out from his first day diminishing Christ and empowering Islam,

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12

This is how spirits work, whatever makes us think about them or look in their direction strengthens them and gives them greater authority, this is also why the attention their attacks bring work so well,

Baal is a dragon,

Baal is Satan,

Baal is the ancient name for Allah,

This is Satan’s Time.

Look for the Antichrist to come in the form of a computer, in Artificial Intelligence, that all the prophesies of Revelations might be fulfilled.

So, let’s see...

All of mankind (or at least the USA) is looking for a man (president) to save them.

Donald Trump is a man.

They are putting up a ‘temple of baal’ in NYC.

Donald Trump is from NYC.

Baal = Satan = Allah

...

Therefore, Donald Trump = antichrist?

Am I doing this right???

:) Humor :)

Baal is the ancient name for Allah,

So we rejected the mosque at Ground Zero and instead erect not just a mosque, but the ancient spirit of allah.

No, the Republican party is going to descend into chaos at the convention.

This will crown Hillary as President. And she is the whore of Babylon who set everything in motion in the Middle East.

They are tearing down Confederate monuments. Why are liberals different from ISIS or the Taliban?

London & NYC, interesting.

I expect the week of the 17th will have at least 1 BTW event, not necessarily in those cities, but again, interesting.

We may see who has the biggest Baals of them all and who has no Baals at all.
