THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE DECEPTION

     The dragon, who wages war against the Covenant and Bride of Mashiach, controls the “kingdoms” presently. He institutionalized the power of his religion, and centralized the implementation of his plan in the seat of the most powerful empire, ROME.

ROMAN HISTORY

     Pagans worshipped the sun, and used fire, the hearth, wreaths, circles, pillars, bells, and many other items seen today as relics of their rituals. Some of the early Roman beliefs came from the Etruscans, Greeks, Egyptians, Persians, and of course Babylonians.  The central foundation of Roman nationalism began at Roma, the original name of the city and language of the proto-empire.  The mythology of the Romans taught that the empire began with two orphaned boys named Romulus and Remus, who were nurtured by a she-wolf.  Their importance to the early Romans was observed by a national day of “purification”, associated with the “wolf” (Latin lupis) that preserved their lives. 

     Each year on their February 15, a purification festival was held which was called “Lupercalia”, or wolf festival.  2 youths (who represented Romulus and Remus) ran around the city in the nude, laughing and whipping around strips of wolf skins, dipped in blood.  Unmarried girls exposed their posteriors to be lashed with these bloody wolf hides, supposedly to imbue fertility.  As part of the ritual, every eligible girl’s name was collected and placed in a large “vat” or jar, and all the young men would “draw” a name from it.  This gives us the phrase “luck of the draw”. Whatever name a young man would draw out, that girl would be his consort in the festival.  This was a very solemn religious process.  “Lupercalia” was changed into “Valentine’s Day” and moved to the 14th after being “Christianized”.  Instead of having nothing to do with the idolatry, it was simply altered slightly and adapted to the new “universal” religion.   This is where we inherit the custom of “Valentine’s Cards”, and HEART SHAPED symbols.  The shape of the heart is an IVY LEAF, the symbol of Bacchus, the male deity of wine and love (orgiastic).  He corresponds to Nimrod and Tammuz, and also the archer, Saggitarius or “Cupid”.  Another name for him is Orion, the hunter.  The arrow penetrating the “heart” symbol represented mating.  Bacchus is seen in art wearing a wreath of ivy leaves on his head during his mating rituals.  So, even the familiar “heart” symbol comes from Pagan Rome, and echoes their idolatry, as the symbol of Bacchus.
