As Pope Leo XiV, the Pope of Hope and Leo the Lover put it:  “Peace be with you”!!

The month anniversary of Pope Leo’s election, May 8th to June 8th Pentecost is a clue: we are IN the Eucharistic RENAISSANCE!

Trinity Sunday this year is a special one because it celebrates the Trinity. OK, as  it does EVERY year. Just as Corpus Christi celebrates the Body of Christ.  In fact, something in our busy lives we don’t often realize:

“One of the most impossible realities is understanding how the Trinity has ALWAYS existed; in a sense we are in the middle of INFINITY past and future.”   Every day we age a day, we STILL remain in the exact middle of eternity.  Well, that’s my guess.  What say you?

As the dad of 11, and grandpapa to 22 (the 22nd born predawn on Jan 22, the 50th anniversary of the infamous Row vs Wade decision as AOC puts it), I am privileged to have a beautiful granddaughter named after the First Being, the Godhead: Trinity Henritze.

I dedicate this writing to my beloved Trinity, the first born of the Beckman and Mike & Cecilia Henritze grandkids.  And to adventurers and journey seekers everywhere.

Beginnings before humanity entered the scene

God had created the angels, but as invisible non organic beings, no universe was needed…their existence required no food, water, Raisinettes or Netflix, because they are spiritual beings, some good…some NOT so good, actually evil, possibly 1/3 falling down on the job of joyful love of God.

But God had other ideas about creating for His pleasure and our joy, the human race.

Stat wise, The UNIVERSE is:

553 sextillion (553,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) miles wide with billions of stars and galaxies, all created FOR mankind.  Not, the reverse; always remember our place in eternity: we were NOT made for the objects and biochemical photovoltaic processes of the universe.

God does not need toy robotic dolls for the playpen to clone words like “love you”.  He gave each of us free will, even if others steal that away from us in Auschwitz or planned parenthood, but I repeat myself.

The Trinity already was the Perfect Family, which to his seashore dismay, St Augustine never fully understood: HOW could the Reveal be accomplished!

Back to Creation, God started with the simple stuff: the billions of gaseous giants and dwarfs, the stars, in galaxies far far away.

Millions of plants and animal species, thousands of biochemical processes that do great things like produce food, via ESSENTIAL carbon dioxide, mixed with water and sun, in processes called “photosynthesis” and aerobic respiration.  Things most kids aren’t taught, what with teachers’ union strikes, CRT,DIE or DEI, hypersexualized “health” and other perversions of intellect pursuits.

Unless, they are homeschooled or challenged to learn in various ways by involved parents honoring their responsibility, not as domestic terrorists but as God’s beloved kids “primary educators.”

From Sacred Scripture, we read “Let US make man in our image”.  Yet God did NOT create 9 billion men and women and children, like the trillions of insects, good and bad.  He created first man from the dirt and then He completed His work of general creation with the most well designed, infinitely complex being in the known and unknown universe: Eve.  We call woman, that is if we are NOT Jumanji Jackson Brown, the latest Supreme Court justice questioned at confirmation: “what’s a woman?”

Something, the cagey woman child from Harvard, declined to answer.  You know her as Jumanji Jackson Brown, the newest member of the Supreme Court who can’t define what a woman is…even after 7 years at an ivy league school.

Now I’m in trouble:  minor question, fellow sojourners:   God did not need billions of years to create a 50 trillion celled human genome, male and/or female.  So, who really needs or benefits from this billions of years heresy?

Answer: The atheistic evolutionist desperate to grab enough aeons and billions of years of time to bang together unmutated or mysteriously (philosopher’s dilemma) appearing molecules in the unexplainable appearance of primordial soup building blocks/molecules.  God did not nor does not NEED billions of years.  Fact is the earth is as young and as old as it IS!

On to Someone simpler, the Trinity: we don’t understand how and why, let alone what their relationship as three distinct persons in a singular God truly is.  And forever past…

And we believe, God in His Infinite Wisdom, understood from all eternity that mankind, when He created male and female, would have a very tough time understanding Whom their Creator truly is.  Paul talks about seeing darkly through a glass.  Here is my take, for what it’s worth.

God’s universal design was to help us learn more about Him and our eternal home, while here on earth.  Relevant Radio’s Fr. Simon calls it beautifully: our coming home to the Father’s home, in many mansions.  Yet, being made in His Image indicates we are fearlessly and wonderfully made, but what about our Creator God?  We know all three Entities were there.  Yet, how zero, nada, nothing gave way to matter and energy, long before Einstein’s relativity pronouncements.

Our earliest written hint as to Whom God is, was in Genesis.  “Let US make man in OUR image”.  OK, today a new pro-noun (anti-wise actually) is created every day as one chooses to recreate what God has done. Jen & Gavin Newsom call it Gender fluidics as if humanity is  a hydraulic process.  We are not.  God was pretty specific about first a man or male,  and then female or woman.

But this mocks God’s Perfect Nature and His Plans for Biology.

From the macro to the mini world of inner space, as mentioned, there are 50 trillion cells per body, starting with only two homo sapiens sapiens: Adam and Eve.   This gender affirmation stuff is pure evil. Mutilating teen breasts, castrating young men.  Does this sound Godly or demonic?  Easy answer except to the godless who worship zero as their god..

Believe what you want: God’s designs do work.  It may be okay to play dress up and join the Pretenders Society but God wants US to know Him as He, as God is.  NOT all these recreations in so many areas.  Especially interfering with His design for mankind.

Suppose we recently discovered a physical directional device that dates back 4600 years. You open it up and it points directly over the spot where the Israelites and Moses left the clutches of their Egyptian enslavers, never to return.    And suppose the same unique vector from the directional device points 270 miles away, skirting the Mediterranean (Middle Earth) Sea and targets a city the Jews called the House of Bread.  We sing about the city, also called Beth’lehem at Christmas time each year. The blue line/vector heading out of Giza at 26 degrees 18 minutes 9.63 seconds of angular arc shows this phenomena.  270 or 3x3x3x10 miles away to the stable of Christmas, in the House of Meat as the Muslims state, OR as in God’s tradition and that of Israel, the House of Bread.  To see how important to God and mankind the actual city of the House of Bread is, let’s reverse engineer a little, maybe 4600 years ago.

Believe it or let me prove it, 4600 years ago, God planted the world’s largest stone monument, marker, pillar, even altar at the exact center of the World. 

The giant marker is still there but in a terribly run down condition.  This marker was not a Star Trek civilization fossil, but remains to this day, silent in its magnificence, the last remaining wonder of the World.

It also is a Catholic icon, (some relevant Catholic apologist will claim this first) IF I can prove such to my fave bishops, priests, lay friends and relatives, and the occasional atheist.

It’s called “Border”; translated, Giza.  It’s “last name” is pyramidos, which transmorphs into “fire in the middle”.  These can be readily explained.

In another blog post I wrote, there is much more detail.  But God desires ALL of us to live forever, to discover Him and to “know, love and serve” our God.  Maybe the world’s largest “building” can help the minds of the math motivated, the CSI/NCIS investigative types, see salvation history better.

Walk a bit farther with this author and adventurer.

Giza IS located at the exact Center of the World.  Prove it for yourself: take a globe and draw a line across the largest amount of land (a line that touches the most, ie land meridian) both east-west and north-south. Geographically, you will find the center near Cairo in Egypt.  It also criss crosses in the ocean on the other side but the fact on the exact Center of the World, exists an almost timeless marker only Creator God could position.

Theologically, Jesus the Christ IS the exact Center of OUR world, of history (ie His Story) formerly labeled BC or Before Christ and AD or Anno Domini, ie ‘in the year of the Lord’.  In a real sense, He is the Center of Eternity as we exist in the middle as well.

Obviously, it is the largest Compass on earth and one of the most accurate, off positionally by only three seconds of arc.  When you Google Earth “Giza” and zoom in, the Giza Pyramid lines up with your computer screen. Of import, at one time, it was covered with mirror bright ‘casing’ stones intricately joined, numbering an estimated 144,000 until they were stripped over centuries following a strong earthquake six hundred years ago.

Once discovered, the entryway (17 steps up) led down a passageway 344 feet to the bottom.  Of importance to what and why it existed, the passageway’s angularity measures 26 degrees, 18minutes, 9.63 seconds.  This graphic shows where it sits and how the angle plots out when rotated 90 degrees to the northeast of Cairo from the Center of the World.

Geographically, notice where it points.  Then think of it theologically.  It points to Jesus’ birth in the New Testament after pointing to where the Israelites escaped, with their God’s help, on the same 26+degree heading.

Exodus is the OLD testament, Bethlehem, the old and the new.  In the Old, the 7th century before Christ, prophet Isaiah has an intriguing verse sequence:

“On that day there shall be an altar to the LORD at the center of Egypt, and a sacred pillar to the LORD near its boundary

This will be a sign and witness to the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt, so that when they cry out to the LORD because of their oppressors, he will send them a savior to defend and deliver them.^l

I truly wonder if this applies to Giza, the last of the great wonders of the ancient world.  The bold in red words/phrases above point to aspects of the Giza experience. Read on.

1. “Altar of the Lord”

   .  In Egypt? I thought they worshipped the pharoah! Not the Lord God.  Hmm.

In the OT, altars were places of bloody sacrifice.  Often, in the desert, a holocaust or animal was sacrificed to honor God as the people knew Him. Recall, Abraham was commanded by God to sacrifice his son, Isaac to the God of Creation.  Yet, God stayed Abraham’s hand in killing his son and substituted a ram in the thicket.

That was both a bloodless sacrifice of the heart of Abraham, in obeying God and sparing Isaac; and a bloody one, in the ram/lamb God provided for the sacrifice.

The last (and the first) bloodless sacrifice was at the altar in the upper room we know as the Last Supper and First Mass.  This “altar” of the Eucharist institution prefigured by a day the very bloody sacrifice on the Cross of Life on Good Friday.

Supposition: in the New Testament, suppose the 4600 year old 30 sf (maybe 42  sq ft to match the 14 x 3 foot Shroud and Council of Trent altar measurement) flat top of Giza is an altar awaiting the bloodless and glorious return of the true Cornerstone of the whole New World of faith, of the Catholic Church, Jesus the Christ.

We know Jesus is our Savior (mentioned in the Isaiah quote) and we are the Bride of Christ.  But more than symbolically, I wonder if that altar top is where Jesus meets the Bride of Christ, the Church for the last time as heaven beckons all.

Think about it; at my and your Catholic wedding (if married!), four marks should be reflected upon: FREEDOM to choose each other, two become one in TOTALITY, as we will be united with Christ forever.  Also, we pledge as one male and female total fidelity, ie faithfulness to each other, the man as the archetype of Christ sacrificing everything, even life to death for our new spouse, the bride of our dreams.  As we dads pledge our love, honor and protection for the children that God will provide to most of us.

WE humans pledge “until death do us part”.  But Jesus’ pledge, already sealed at the Crucifixion as the sacrificed Lamb of God, the true Passover alluded to as the Israelites escaped Egypt.  The “Christ Angle” as it is called (26+degree) forms a vector that skirts the Mediterranean Sea after passing over the place where the Israelites passed out of Egypt.

Wow!!!  There were two pillars of Solomon at the Exodus spot where historically the Chosen people crossed the Red Sea; Saudi Arabia has replaced the one on their side with a flag (sadly), but the Giza “vector” continues on to complete its 270 mile “journey” to the House of Bread (the Bread of the Universe).

We know this city, this spot, as Bethlehem.  Was it an accident that angle of entry now the angle of exit points to the city of Jesus’ birth?  God does nothing by accident, being a loving purposeful God.

Giza is a four sided structure, eight sides on the solstices at dawn and dusk (explained later) built WITHOUT a capstone.  A cornerstone for the top corner of the pyramid shaped object.  The top actually has about 30 sq ft of flat surface. Could this be the “altar of the Lord” planted in Egypt that Isaiah refers to?  It’s been there since 2621BC.  The time line begins at 2141BC when the North Star shown down its 344 foot descending passageway to the bottom.  Some scholars believe, since there are only two markings in Giza, one a map scale “pyramid” or “sacred Jewish” inch.  And a circle scored in the rock in the passageway.  Scholars see this as a starting point for a “time line” of history.  His Story.

If this timeline of prophetic history is real, it is amazing.  For example, using this one year per inch motif, the transition point is 1453 AD when the descending entry passage reaches the ascending passage to the Queen and King’s separate chambers.

Is anything significant about that year?  How about this: the Fall of Constantinople, (May 29, 1453) and conquest of the city by Sultan Mehmed II of the Ottoman Empire. The dwindling Byzantine Empire came to an end when the Ottomans breached Constantinople’s ancient land wall after besieging the city for 55 days. Mehmed surrounded Constantinople from land and sea while employing cannons to maintain a constant barrage of the city’s formidable walls.

Sounds significant…

2 “Center of Egypt”   (Center of the World too!)

This is interesting.  At one time, there were two Egypts, lower and upper.  This is how the Isaiah verses can make sense, should we understand that King Menes united the two Egypts around the year 2900 BC in Egypt’s early dynastic period.  He founded his capital at Memphis.

So, Giza is at the border of one and in the middle of the other; Giza divided Egypt it is believed.  Notice the “Lower Egypt” is at the northern end of the life giving Nile as it dumps into the Mediterranean.

King Menes is known to have redirected the Nile as well but understand what he did do fits well in the actual translation of “Giza Pyramid”:

“Border Fire in the Middle”

3)  “Sacred Pillar”.  Giza, not only the world’s largest compass and timekeeper, it is a pillar made sacred by its placement and focus on Jesus.  Of course, the pharaohs built their super ego burial places, but Giza had no body, no capstone, only a coffer with the same dimensions of the ark of the covenant.  This last bit should be understood: God dictated the dimensions of the Ark of the Covenant, both the old testament one during David/Solomon and the organic one, whom God knew for all eternity past: Mary ever Virgin.

It is hard to visualize today, but the true translation (Fire in the Middle) of pyra-midos focuses on the incredible brilliance of the mirror stone covered object, Giza.

Those cover stones were “quarried” actually robbed off Giza after an earthquake, moved off the structure over centuries (not easy to steal all 144,000 stones in a year) and used for minarets and mosques in the muslim neighborhood.

But, before the ‘regifting’ of the hard limestone polished bright blocks, it WAS a sacred pillar, viewed as if on fire, especially mid day on the Spring Equinox when it featured NO shadow.

God leaves nothing to chance; He is precise.

He created the earth’s 23.5 degree angularity, and with four transitioning seasonal points: spring equinox, the summer solstice, fall equinox and winter solstice.  We will look at the Northern Hemisphere; in astronomy, the reasons are simple.

The first day of new life, rebirth from the winter so to speak in the Northern Hemisphere, of spring, the sun rises over Bethlehem viewed from Giza.  More fascinating, all year Giza does have a shadow: but at high noon on the Spring Equinox, it was at its MAX brightness with ZERO shadow.

Today, we celebrate spring’s return on March 20-21st.  Suppose, with a four day correction, God conformed the seasonal changes for His prophetic purposes.  If it was March 25th, you have Spring Equinox coinciding with the date of Mary’s annunciation (Jesus’ conception) and as the Church tradition has it, his death as well.  You may or may not know that Jesus died on March 25th (gregorian calendar) and Friday the 13th in the Hebrew month of Abib.  Conjecture: God’s prophecy ‘calendar’ does not conform to just the oral tradition, written Scriptures and printed Bibles: He uses 3D materials and supplements a reference to an important eternal truth in multiple ways.

Simply put, for you budding Biblical salvation history archeologic types, this 4 day offset puts the winter solstice on the day Jesus is born; reinforcing this truth is the solstice phenomena that the four sided “pyramid” appears as an 8 sided object at both the beginning (dawn) and ending (dusk) of  the day, on June 25th and Dec 25th, also His birthday.

A bit in the weeds here, but at dawn and dusk on the solstices, Giza appears as an EIGHT sided object. What is importance of eight (8) in salvation history?

8 is Jesus’ number; 888 is Jesus number magnified!

Supposition: we need to prove 8 is Jesus’ number.  In fact His name alphanumerically is 888 as the graphic shown here.  Greek and Hebrew assign numbers to their letters…and translated, Jesus becomes 888.  Scholars believe 8 represents new birth, rebirth, resurrection when it is used in scripture; same is confirmed in life.  Think music, sound and light.

Applies to music (the 8th note is like the first but as a harmonic); in Noah’s time, 8 humans remained and floated in the ark, an actual “rebirth” of mankind. A week has seven days, but renews on Monday or the 8th day. You can think of additional examples, I am sure!

It’s not superstition though we need be careful: many numbers have Biblical implications and purposes.

12 tribes and 12 apostles; 144 in revelations (12×12)on governance and the number of Giza casing stones x 1000 or the reference to 144,000 cover stones.

Seven (7) is the number of perfection (days in the week, whole notes in the scale, 7 days of creation etc.),

The number 3 refers to the Trinity, which God wants us to learn more about over time. Not an easy task to figure out.

AND, one of the reasons for this blog.

As St Augustine couldn’t figure it out, certainly it will not be fully known until heaven. Even then, friends, how will we understand how God has existed as a Trinitarian “family” FOREVER previous?

This is why, since eternity past and future, mathematically are identical vectors, I contend we live each day IN THE MIDDLE OF INFINITY.

But we only match God day by day looking forward…basically math brains: we humans live IN the middle of eternity, but God has existed FROM eternity past and exists in the exact middle…something even Fr. Holy Joe Horn, Fr Edmund, our bishops or other smart people can’t truly fathom.  I call this the Augustine Conundrum…

Fascinating, Giza has existed (~2623BC) before and WHILE early salvation history was unfolding.  It’s timeline dates from 2141BC when Giza is used as a prophetic timeline based on when the North Star first shown down the very long entry passage to the 344 foot bottom.

But, from Genesis 1, when God gives us a hint in “Let US make man in our image”, He also points to His Son via the Giza Christ Angle that is built into the Giza’s internal passageways. As any proud Father would!

Fast forward to the Jordan baptism: the Holy Spirit is visible as a dove, as the Father’s booming voice shouts “This is my beloved Son…”.   Yes, no mention in Biblical text this Trinity word…but neither does other things like ice cream.

Lucky for us, there is further proof that 13 is both the date of Christ’s death in the Hebrew calendar (Friday the 13th month of Abib) and the sequential Marian Fatima appearances (May 13, June 13 etc).  In other writings, I posit why six 13s in a row instead of the 3rd Saturday or 4th Tuesday of each month: God used His mother’s visits as further confirmation that 3 in 1 or 1 out of 3, ie 13, is an important aspect of Whom He Is.

Number 17 and 153…We know there are 17 steps to the entrance passageway of Giza: in the Bible, 17 is the number associated with victory.  For the math wise, like Fr Joe Horn and Fr Edmund both Premonstratensian Norbertine priests, 17 is also a component of Jesus’ 153 caught fish after Resurrection.

Always dig deep! Why would the Gospels mention an exact haul at 153 after a fruit less err fish less night on the water?

This is another confirmation to me that God has immense perfect mathematician abilities: 17 x 3 x 3 equals 153, no arbitrary number, reflecting in a way the victory of the Trinity multiplied by the Trinity.

Jesus was showing the Apostles who traveled with Him, the abundance of the fields that need their work as the Church (Harvest is great, but the laborers are few).  More interesting, maybe of import, 153 is also a sum, ie. 1+2+3…+17, amplifying the importance of this number in salvation history.

Math, like the other sciences, religion, truth and faith is intertwined in God’s view of the universe; it’s us imperfect humans that overly compartmentalize everything.   Sometimes, first grade level “Baltimore” catechesis is the best:

God just wants us to “KNOW Him, LOVE Him and SERVE Him” for our own good.

================

More on sacred Pillars…

Pillars are common in the world. We have the obelisk pillar in Washington DC; the Solomonic pillars that mark the Red Sea miracle of parted Nile waters and now you’ve heard of the “Pillar of Fire” in Giza that predated the pillar of fire that guided the Israelites out of Egypt after the 10th plague, the first Passover.

Point is, God gently taught us about His True Nature as ONE God with 3 persons, 1 3. Maybe WHY God sent Mary to Fatima on earth six times, on successive 13ths, instead of a monthly first Saturday.  Also, not coincidental, Fatima being the city named for the former Muslim wife of a Catholic prince in Portugal.

Mary set the record straight in 1917, 3 years after that junction point inside Giza of 1914.  Hmm.

4) “Boundary” Border.

Discussed previously, Giza literally means “border”.  NOT the Taco Bell or Southern American former Border, but the Boundary of a portion of Egypt.  Refer to King Menes about 2900bc

5)”Sign and witness to the Lord”

This is a very important aspect of Giza.  IF the time machine aspect of Giza is real, its beginning at 2141C with the North Star’s light hitting the bottom below ground 344 feet away, it also leads to junctures with other significant dates:

33AD as the Crucifixion, which begins the Grand Gallery (reportedly it was open for a period of time so the locals could view the stars.  Who knows?) toward the Queen Chamber level and ascending to the King’s Gallery.  Look at the graphic above created by Mr Rutherford.

Sidenote: Emanations to1453AD proves it is timeless…and that Jesus promised the Church would endure through all time, despite even modern foolish prostiticians in Israel or DC trying hard to kill it off.

Though the Ottoman Sultan broke into Byzantine Constantinople and turned it into Istanbul, the Church endures throughout the world.

We are in interesting, stressful times on God’s green earth.  Battered by foolish, evil doctrines; embattled in so many ways fighting for Truth, Justice and in America, the American way.  Old but necessary words to fight for.

Then there is 1453 BC… what is SIGNificant about that year?  Could it be the year the Israelites actually entered the promised land after years of wandering?

Well, it begins the ascending passageway.  Then there is 1521AD, as the descending passage continues BELOW ground level.  The year is significant in our backyard when Hernan Cortes ended the rule of Montezuma and Technochtitlan (Mexico City) with 175 barefoot Franciscan friars preaching the gospel to the local Nahautl people. Though 10 years later, the arrival of OLGuadalupe led to millions of converts to the Catholic faith.

After all, God KNOWS the future even as you read this, as the Trinity HAS known from eternity past.  Chew on that St Augustine!

Signs TO the world.

Fulfilled two millennia afterwards, and discovered recently with the Christ Angle (26 degrees etc.) applied to the land, Giza is an extent directional sign to the world that Jesus, the Bread of Life, the life-giving unblemished and innocent Passover Lamb was born in the House of Bread, a foreshadowing of  the importance of wine and wheat bread unleavened becoming Himself, body and blood, soul and divinity and the Source and Summit of our faith.

Today, if the scales fall away from our eyes, we see that the irrefutable evidence of a Creator’s existence is the world’s largest Sign and Witness object that points directly to an important city, Beth’lehem only 270 miles away; to the Godhead that required all three Persons to validate the promise in that city on a date Catholic tradition (March 25) honors just nine months before the House of Bread (city)  housed (stable near the inn) we know as the Bread of Life.

The unfathomable Trinity I believe is pointed to within the last wonder of the ancient and modern world, Giza. The hanging gardens of Babylon are gone, Giza remains.  God went BIG actually Biggest when He created His Son’s birth reveal in the world’s largest stone sculpture.  So many titles but I like the Monument to the King of king’s birth and the early Eucharist marker long before the Last Supper.

Its altar top waiting for the Cornerstone (ie Capstone) to return in glory?  I don’t know.  To Jerusalem? Or less than 300 miles away on the Giza plain.  Only the Trinity knows.  Yes, the word Trinity does not appear in Scripture, but irrefutable though tough to understand proof exists.

Another experience of “Trinity”, just before all three Persons expressed themselves in the muddy Jordan at Jesus’ Baptism around age 30, was at His and Mary’s Annunciation we celebrate March 25th.

A date I suspect marked the Spring Equinox millennia ago.   Three months later, the Summer Solstice and the Giza feature of Jesus’ number is shown twice each year, with 8 sided imagery in the shadows. Six more and we celebrate the birth of the New King that Herod feared, the Winter Solstice, with the Light of the World greeting the shortest day of the year filling it with His Love and Life.  Herod feared the Savior so much he killed upwards of some thousands of innocent young boys less than two years old.

A minor side track that illuminates the huge contrast of the darkness being broken by the Light of Christ, foreshadowed at Creation with the darkness and light separation of space, involves our English slave turned bishop of Eire, St Patrick. Worth a brief look, seeing the eternal allegories of light vs darkness, and attempts to share both Trinity and Christ:

 It was on March 26, Easter Sunday in 433 that the eventful assembly was to meet at Tara, and the decree went forth that from the preceding day the fires throughout the kingdom should be extinguished until the signal blaze was kindled at the royal mansion. The chiefs and Brehons came in full numbers and the druids too would muster all their strength to bid defiance to the herald of good tidings and to secure the hold of their superstition on the Celtic race, for their demoniac oracles had announced that the messenger of Christ had come to Erin.

St. Patrick arrived at the hill of Slane, at the opposite extremity of the valley from Tara, on Easter Eve, in that year the feast of the Annunciation, and on the summit of the hill kindled the Paschal fire. The druids at once raised their voice. “O King”, (they said) “live for ever; this fire, which has been lighted in defiance of the royal edict, will blaze for ever in this land unless it be this very night extinguished.”

By order of the king and the agency of the druids, repeated attempts were made to extinguish the blessed fire and to punish with death the intruder who had disobeyed the royal command. But the fire was not extinguished and Patrick shielded by the Divine power came unscathed from their snares and assaults. On Easter Day the missionary band having at their head the youth Benignus bearing aloft a copy of the Gospels, and followed by St. Patrick who with mitre and crozier was arrayed in full episcopal attire, proceeded in processional order to Tara. The druids and magicians put forth all their strength and employed all their incantations to maintain their sway over the Irish race, but the prayer and faith of Patrick achieved a glorious triumph.

The druids by their incantations over-spread the hill and surrounding plain with a cloud of worse than Egyptian darkness. Patrick defied them to remove that cloud, and when all their efforts were made in vain, at his prayer the sun sent forth its rays and the brightest sunshine lit up the scene. Again by demoniac power the Arch-Druid Lochru, like Simon Magus of old, was lifted up high in the air, but when Patrick knelt in prayer the druid from his flight was dashed to pieces upon a rock. Thus was the final blow given to paganism in the presence of all the assembled chieftains. It was, indeed, a momentous day for the Irish race.

Twice Patrick pleaded for the Faith before Leoghaire. The king had given orders that no sign of respect was to be extended to the strangers, but at the first meeting the youthful Ere, a royal page, arose to show him reverence; and at the second, when all the chieftains were assembled, the chief-bard Dubhtach showed the same honor to the saint. Both these heroic men became fervent disciples of the Faith and bright ornaments of the Irish Church.

It was on this second solemn occasion that St. Patrick is-said-To have plucked a shamrock from the sward, to explain by its triple leaf and single stem, in some rough way, to the assembled chieftains, the great doctrine of the Blessed Trinity. On that bright Easter Day, the triumph of religion at Tara was complete. The Ard-Righ granted permission to Patrick to preach the Faith throughout the length and breadth of Erin, and the druidical prophecy like the words of Balaam of old would be fulfilled: the sacred fire now kindled by the saint would never be extinguished.”

Salvation history is filled with the triumphs of God teaching His people and the world eternal truths and paths to joyful eternities; it also involves numerous ways to focus us on ways to bring OTHERS to an eternal understanding of Christ, His mother, the Trinity etc.

Thinking of Augustine, the closest we came to the Trinity as a human being, was when Mary was occupied by two members of the Blessed Trinity: “overcome” by the Holy Spirit to conceive God’s Son we call Jesus, the perfect ‘888’ of His Story.

And after His birth, the son of foster father Joseph (the “terror of demons”) and the world traveling Mary.

Math does fails us sometimes: Mary experienced 2/3 or is it 3/3 parts of the Trinity personae in essence but the one God.  Each day, we can experience God via the Eucharist in a way only God fully understands, the essence of Christ the Savior and the Trinity inseparable.  Every day, experience the bloodless sacrifice that Jesus confirmed on “altar of the cross” one day following the NEW passover.

I suggest you (and I!) make it to heaven to learn “the rest of the story” as Paul Harvey often said.  Jesus.  His Story it is.  And Trinity is the communal Being we were created in Whose Image and we will spend next week…actually next eternity with, happy and joyful in the place the Father God has for those who love His Son.  Three candles, one flame.  Or the 3 leafed clover in Ireland.

Through time, for example the Arian Heresy, many ignorant or purposeful heresies arose…and continue to arise.  Today, we battle the most consuming heresy, the Algorean heresy, which insults God by claiming He has no control over His universe and specifically His atmospheric physics on the earth.  Like the incantations of the Druids, or Arius’ fallacious Jesus was created than He created the universe, evil NEVER gives up to give God a black eye…and draw us to an eternal hell.  I prefer heaven, if you ask.

 The ‘Bookends’ of the Alpha and the Omega.

My role is to see things others may not have seen; I am no better than any other Catholic apologist or father, brother, husband, friend.   But, God uses many ways and means to draw His creations to Himself for eternity; I believe we haven’t even discovered all these “means”, “signs” as of yet.   I consider Giza one of these, but not the last.

Think about it: two key aspects of Christ’s coming is His birth and PreResurrection Death.  What better way, in addition to oral testimony and tradition, written Scriptures and Gospels, is 3D physical proofs, hints even symbols woven together in the most important history: His Story.

4600 years ago, God constructed, by His hand or those humans He employed, the Monumental Birth Reveal/Announcement BEFORE it happened.  The world’s largest “Save the Date” maybe?  The Border Fire in the Middle or Giza is that object.

Likewise, Jesus died and was covered by a burial shroud that has become known as the Shroud of Jerusalem, Edessa and Turin. Bookend One: Giza…Bookend Two: Turin’s Shroud.

Before it lost its brilliant limestone casing/cover stones in 1303ad, Giza showed it’s highest amount of Light at high noon on the Spring Equinox each year. How do we know?  At that precise hour it had NO shadow…  EXCEPT for the 3 hours on that Friday the 13th day of Abib, when the ‘Sun REFUSED to shine’, the Egyptian darkness St Patrick alluded to.  The “pillar of fire” aspect of the Giza disappeared for that fateful time when the temple Holy of Holies cloth was torn in two.

Similarly, the Light of Christ ‘blew through’ the Shroud with 40 trillion joules of light energy focused for 1/40 billionth of a second.  MORE power than all the high energy lasers on earth.

Also consider other Faith Phenomena:

~Our Lady of Guadalupe image’s revolutionary impact on the Nahautl/Aztec people in 1531; the arrival of Hernan Cortes on Good Friday, 1521 (a year called out in Giza)

~Eucharistic miracles like 8th century’s Lanciano and Terri Schiavo Schindler in2005.  The list is long and growing

~Fatima and the overlay of May 13th, 1981 with the unsuccessful assassination of Pope St John Paul the Great.

I have begun a “cause” to honor Giza as a true Catholic icon.

Other significances of the Giza that can support it being a true and endearing symbol of God’s design and salvation history HiStory

~ Giza has actual concavity that matches the world’s curvature: discovered in last 60 years, it is built into the surface and still discernible despite cover stone theft.

~Giza as compass is more accurate to the cardinal directions than even recently built observatories. It is off only 3 seconds of arc (a circle has 360 degrees; each degree is divided into 60 minutes and each minute into 60 seconds.

Giza sits at the CENTER of the WORLD! This is an amazing fact.  Being the world’s largest object weighting about 5.75 million tons, it’s good that it sits on a solid granite flat mountain.  God prepped His monument well. Because it is solid and not sinking or ‘travelling’, it maintains its accuracy as a compass to 3 seconds of arc.

The “Christ Angle” involve Giza’s passageway measurements.    The angle of the entry passage measures 26 degrees 18 minutes 9.63 seconds; it points to North when opened up 17 steps up from ground level.  Laid down to the north east, the “angle” draws a line that 270 miles away points to the House of Bread city, Bethlehem.

Why did it get named House of Bread by the Jews aeons ago?  Could it be as a prehistoric reference to Jesus, in the Eucharist, that is pointed to from an object God had built or built Himself, thousands of year previously?  Is this a stretch or another Godincidence?

To confirm this, ask Google to map “travel” from Giza Pyramid to Bethlehem.  You will see the “blue line” like the above Google map matches the same angle as in the Rutherford Giza time chart.

~The Solar Year phenomenon.  Giza’s base perimeter is 9131 inches per side: totalled, this is 36524, the length of a true solar year (365.24 days).  NOT 365 1/4 days!  Leap year in 2024 anyone?  Actual total revolution around the sun is  365.24219 days.

~Giza, in a real way, is a square circle.  The circumference of a circle is computed by 2 x Pi x Radius.  The height of the pyramid is 11,626 inches: computing the radius (half the height a la diameter) yields 3.1415. Pi to five significant digits.

~Giza maintains an average temp at 68 degrees; which matches the world’s average temp.  Same for the average height of the world’s mountains and valleys, confirmed by satellite data in recent years.

~Giza has two scorings: a circle near the entrance and the pyramid inch; the “pyramid inch” is the same unit of measurement that was used to build “Noah’s Ark, “Solomon’s Temple”, and the “Ark of the Covenant”.

~Giza has no buried body but it does have a red granite ‘coffer’ that matches the biblical dimensions of the Ark of the Covenant.  No coincidence folks…  The coffer is in the King’s Chamber, the only object found.  And as you may know, one of Mary’s endearing names is the Ark of the Covenant, the new Covenant, who held Him in her womb first.  The first Joyful Mystery of the Rosary.

~Giza and Sir Isaac Newton.  Newton’s Theory of Gravitation was dependent on an accurate knowledge of the circumference of the earth, including the ancient Egyptian cubit. The only figures he currently had were the inaccurate calculations of Eratosthenes and his followers. With these figures his theory did not work out.  But once he reconciled the inches, things fell into place.

~Giza as altar.  From gizapyramid.com:

“Was the great pyramid always without a capstone or was it stolen, destroyed, etc? No one knows but the accounts of visitors to the pyramid from the ancient past (as far back as the time of Christ) always reported that the pyramid lacked a capstone. It is possible that it was never finished.

Another possibility is that capstones were sometimes made of gold and maybe the first thing looted. The only problem is that this would be a very large capstone. If you climbed to the top, you could walk around very freely on the pyramid as many have done. It is about 30 feet in each direction. Thus, this capstone would have been huge and weighed a tremendous amount.

Also on the summit you would see something that looks like a mast or flagpole. Actually it was placed there by two astronomers in 1874 to show where the Pyramid’s actual apex would have been if finished.”  I call it a quadpod.

My comments: it is a 30 sq ft altar.

Altar for what, I don’t know; I’m not a prophet or the son of a prophet.  Does it mean it will be used in the future? By Christ’s return?  Who knows; I’m no prophet but then the Bible includes 600+ prophecies coincident with Christ’s arrival on earth. Jerusalem is 5 miles north of Bethlehem, which is 270 miles away (vector of 26 degrees, 18 minutes, 9.63 seconds) as discussed.  Time will tell.

~Giza and the earth.  For example, the unit of measurement in the pyramid is the pyramid inch. It turns out this is the basic unit of the measurement of the earth’s polar radius. There are 25 pyramid inches in a sacred cubit and there are exactly 10,000,000 sacred cubits from the center of the earth to its pole. Thus the earth’s polar radius is 10,000,000 sacred cubits or 250,000,000 pyramid inches exactly.

Pyramid inch errata:

“Why did the pyramidologists chose the inch as the standard unit of measurement?

The pyramidologists believe the linear unit used in the design of the great pyramid is the sacred cubic of 25.0265 British inches.  (some different figure if using the American inch, also not identical to the Sacred Jewish or pyramid inch.

The sacred cubit divided into 25 equal parts results in the sacred inch (also called pyramid inch) which equals 1.00106 British inches. Thus the pyramid inch is very close to our standard geometric inch.   Here’s where it gets interesting:

The derivation of this unit comes from measurements in the high central section of the King’s chamber passage, called the “antechamber”. It has been found that the length of the antechamber is equal to the diameter of a circle having a circumference which measures as many pyramid inches as there are days in the solar year, 365.242.

Pyramidologists also point out that there are scientific values incorporated in the great pyramid, many not calculated or known since modern times.

Interesting thing about this last: there are so many calculations and math interrelationships in Giza that are still being studied.  As in: Pyramidologists also have discovered many other scientific values in the pyramid. They include the mean density of the earth, the weight of the earth, mean temperature of the earth, the values of the solar, sidereal, and anomalistic years, and many others.

How could Egyptians have known these amazing facts? No jets or satellites, other than the stars, to rely on for ‘data’.

The PI mystery.  The Greeks were reputed to have discovered Pi and its relationship to geometric circles, yet it is built INTO Giza

How was this value built into the great pyramid? The vertical height of the pyramid holds the same relationship to the perimeter of its base (distance around the pyramid) as the radius of a circle bears to its circumference.”

I don’t subscribe to the idea the ancients are primitive and we have gotten “smarter” over time; our beloved Luddite left loons today are true primitive barbarians in so many ways.  You don’t kill 2.2 billion prebirth kids and call yourself sane unless you are outrageously nuts.  The ancients weren’t stupid but they didn’t have the advanced tools we have today.  I believe God designed the universe for man, not mankind for His universe.  So much discoveries continue, but this is evident: God’s infinite perfection should not be laughed off…when we mock God’s handiwork and His promises for us, we will miss out on an eternal adventure.  After all, we are in the middle of Eternity Past/Present/Future as you read this.

~Giza as the object of Isaiah 19:19-20

God made promises to the people of Egypt in this part of Isaiah.  What say you? Does this analysis make sense that Giza is more than a pile of blocks of stone in the desert?

~Giza and Bethlehem.

Biblically, it is the place of the death of Rachel, the birth of David and Jesus, and the marriage of Ruth and Boaz.  It is known as the House of Meat to the Muslims, and the House of Bread to the Jews.

Bethlehem (/ˈbɛθlɪhɛm/; Arabic: بيت لحم, Bayt Laḥm, pronunciation^ⓘ; Hebrew: בֵּית לֶחֶם Bēṯ Leḥem)

Why was it important for God to point to the birthplace of David with Giza, as well as His Son?  Boaz, a prefigure type of the Savior, was married to Ruth in Bethlehem. In fact, here is seven ideas regarding Boaz prefiguring Jesus.

1. Boaz was from Bethlehem – Ruth 2:4; Jesus was born in Bethlehem – Luke 2:4, Matthew 2:6
2. Boaz is a type of Christ because of his Godly character and grace-filled compassion. Boaz notices Ruth, talks to her, tells her to abide in his field with his maidens, and shows her grace. This reminds us of Jesus’ encouragement to abide in John 15. Like Boaz, Jesus has pity on us, calls us out, brings us into His field to labor alongside His workers, and gives grace.
3. Boaz provides for Ruth like Jesus provides for us. He invites Ruth to drink when she’s thirsty (Ruth 2:9), and to eat his bread and corn (Ruth 2:14). Similarly, Jesus fed people physically and spiritually. A few examples are in Mark 8:2-9, Luke 9, and in John 6:35, where Jesus says He is the Bread of Life. Jesus satisfies every hunger and thirst and supplies our every need.
4. Another way that Boaz is a type of Christ is seen in Ruth 2:1, where he is described as a “mighty man of wealth”. This means Boaz was a man of power and strength, a valiant, honorable man. Jesus is the strongest and most virtuous man to ever live. He is all-powerful and a mighty man indeed!
5. Boaz is a gentleman. He doesn’t force himself on Ruth, like Jesus doesn’t force himself on us. He patiently waits for us to come to Him. In Ruth 3:10-13, Boaz is obviously pleased with Ruth’s request to redeem her, but He is careful to do it properly. This resembles the way that Jesus always did things according to God’s will and in His timing.
6. In Ruth 3:15-17, Boaz sends Ruth away with six measures of barley as a sign of his promise to marry her. That was called a dowry, which was given to the bride’s family as a seal of the betrothal. Boaz is a type of Christ because Jesus gives the Holy Spirit to believers as a down payment for their inheritance. (2Cor. 1:22, 2Cor. 5:5, Eph. 1:13-14 and 4:30.)
7. Boaz is a type of Christ as our Redeemer. Ruth 4:9-11 is the account of Boaz purchasing Ruth to be his wife. Jesus bought his bride with his blood. (1Cor. 6:20 and 7:23 and Romans 3:24-25)   (hat tip to ‘Daily His Disciple’)
