Replica of Syrian arch destroyed by Isis unveiled in New York City [Baal]
Guardian UK ^ | 20 September 2016 | Raya Jalabi

Posted on 09/25/2016 3:29:24 PM PDT by Lorianne

Model of Palmyra’s Arch of Triumph, an 1,800-year-old Roman arch blown up by the extremist group last year, was made using 3D printing technology

The arch historically served as the entrance to the 2,000 Temple of Baal, which was then converted to a Christian church and finally, a mosque.

First put on display in Trafalgar Square in London last April, it will stay at City Hall park for one week, before moving to its next destination, Dubai.

The 11-tonne arch was placed in the small park directly outside of New York’s city hall, in the heart of the financial district. The park is usually occupied by tourists visiting city hall and the nearby World Trade Center memorial and office workers on their lunch breaks. The arch is not roped off, allowing visitors to walk under it and touch it.

Cool use of technology. I like this kind of historical preservation in the face of cultural destruction. I would have tried to fill in the rope though.

Israel was judged for leaving God and going back to Baal worship...the rules have not changed we still have the same God. I think it’s ironic a few days after a terror attack on in NYC and 10 days after the 15th anniversary of our worst terror attack we put up a demonized image of baal worship right across the street from the NYC hall...and we wonder why the Lord is angry with a nation that held so much promise in 1776...shame on you New York for allowing this apostacy...i would be willing to bet if I was going to put up an 11 tonne something that represents Christianity in that same park either Deblassion or the ACLU would stop it...just saying
Touch a demon go to hell..its pretty SOP for the people of GOD...don’t believe it just wait an watch

When will we ever learn? Our Lord is cannot pleased by what He sees. This is a spit in the eye of America.

Put it on the Religion thread. I don’t think a lot of Baal worshipers are going to show up to worship this arch. And if it pisses off the Muslims I’m good with that.

Some lineage!

And Dubai, NYC, NYC City Hall, Financial District, WTC memorial!!

And WALK UNDER/THROUGH IT AND TOUCH IT!!!!!

You. Just. Can't. Make. This Stuff. Up.

The spiritually clueless need to ask: "Why all these things?" "Why now?" "Why THAT location?" "Why a portal?"

Just remember .... Today, 09/25/16, is 36 days away from Hallowe’en/Samhain/Third and Final Harvest/for some, a different calendar ‘New Year’s Eve’.

‘Final Harvest’, following the harvest of grain, then the harvest of the planting fields, is the harvest of the stock for winter meat.

If they should put up fires next to that arch, as time gets near, that is when things will get nasty. Why? The story goes that the farmer would ‘pass the stock between two fires on the way to be slaughtered’.

One of my clients and I used to say, never step through a bagel slice that lights up and talks to you.

Just for good measure, they should have taken it to the floor of the U.N. where it would be quite appropriate.

So they lied about it and went ahead and put it up anyway
Israel was judged for it’s baal worship
America is following in Israels footsteps
and most can not tell the difference between the God of Abraham , Issac and Jacob and a phony .

Sign of the times , a bad one .
