WHY WAS THE PAPAL AUDIENCE HALL BUILDING AT THE VATICAN CONSTRUCTED IN THE SHAPE OF A GIANT REPTILE?
Now The End Begins ^ | 10/10/18 | Geoffrey Grider

Posted on 09/21/2021 5:54:08 AM PDT by Old Yeller

Commissioned by Pope Paul VI in 1963, the Papal Audience Hall in Vatican City was inaugurated in 1971. But it doesn't take you long to realize the whole thing, inside and outside, is a giant reptile. When the pope stands and addresses his audience, he speaks from the snake's mouth. How is that for symbolism?

My guess, and I am in many respects, pretty anti-catholic, is it was done for acoustics: so he could be heard. The secondary reason was so he could be seen.

Why do they need that statue out in the square that looks like the WA monument? It is because what that statue is and why we even put the damned thing up. It is part of the pagan worship of Babylon, Egypt, Greece, etc. That monument is the “missing part” of the anatomy of Tammuz when he was said to be cut up and all the parts spread around and the only part they did not find was his male part and this monument is that missing part. There has been some very interesting shows on a Christian TV channels on DirecTV, “Skywatch TV”. They cover a lot of this paranormal type, pagan worship stuff. They had a good show on some weeks back where this was explained. While I don’t fully understand a lot of this stuff, they do cover it from a historical viewpoint where old documents say this was the worship of pagan idols was done. You can find all their old shows on their website. They covered how Sodom on the Potomac (WA, DC) was set up, by the Freemasons, and how the dollar bill and all the symbols were put on it are part of this stuff. So, why does a “Christian institution” have something like this on their grounds?? There is the one in Paris, this one and ours in Sodom. All the same. All project the same thing.

If this does not start an interesting thread....nothing will anymore.

This stunned me.

I had seen pictures of the stage and eyeballs looking like a snake face just in passing and thought it poor taste...but not the whole freaking building being a snake head and the statute of Christ behind the Pope seat resurrecting as a snake.....

How does the Roman Church reconcile this?
What is their narrative?

I hate the design of this building and the crucifix in front, wherein Jesus is supposedly rising triumphantly out of Hell, but instead looks like he is about to be consumed by flames.

BUT THAT PICTURE IS FAKE!!!!

By using a fish-eye lens, they make it look like two oval windows which in reality face each other, and pointed towards the front of a “face.”

Any image with bilateral symmetry can be made to look like that

Oh, for goodness sakes - it’s a forced perspective shot cropped to give the imagery. Ridiculous.

Architects and artists have been deliberately using hidden symbolism for a long time.

Nothing is by accident.

Um… you mean, the obelisk? The first St Peter’s, built in the early 300’s, was built on the site of Nero’s Circus, and the obelisk remained on site as part of the complex. When St Peter’s was rebuilt, in an incredible feat of engineering, they moved it, I think, a hundred yards of so to its present spot in the middle of the square. Rather than listening to anti-Catholic kooks, are you willing to entertain the notion that it’s there because the builders wanted to recycle a real cool ornament that was already on site?

The AntiChrists are big on symbolism.

the effect is that he is speaking from the mouth of a giant reptile. Why on earth would he want to do that?

Hypnotism

With hypnotism, it is possible to "speak" directly to the unconscious and send a message to the unconscious, without any conscious awareness.
