1 Notes of Floyd E. Taylor for Dec. 28, 2010 Teleconference Bible Study Does it Matter that it is Past Midnight and the Call of Go Out to Meet the Bridegroom Coming has Already been Given? Tonight I would like to finish with the review of the works of Solomon regarding the temple and a glimpse at other issues relating to Solomon. But, firstly let us quickly review the reason that he Lord says that His Wisdom could recite the 23 rd Psalm in every language. Page No.: 1

2 Page No.: 2 Notes for Dec. 28, 2010, Teleconference Bible Study with Floyd E. Taylor The following is the 23 rd Psalm. Let us consider it. We shall find that it is a Psalm written for those who are to be set aside in His Goshen area while He prepares them by pouring out His Spirit upon them and increasing them in knowledge. Wisdom is calling us to come in and receive the Words of God and the instruction of the Lord so that we can be kept safe and secure in the time of the Great Tribulation and all the Way until the Lord comes for us at the Appointed Time of the Rapture. Psalm 23:1-6 1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. (Consider Ecclesiastes 12:11 and you will see that the Lord is the Good Shepherd who leads and it is He who prods us goads us with correction for our turning to do Good.) 2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. 3 He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. Ecclesiastes 12: And moreover, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yes, he pondered and sought out and set in order many proverbs. 10 The Preacher sought to find acceptable Words; and what was written was upright-- Words of Truth. 11 The Words of the wise are like goads, and the Words of scholars are like well-driven nails, given by One Shepherd. (These verses of Scripture reveal the error of shepherds of this Day, and it confirms the teaching of the Lord in Isaiah 58: The shepherds were never meant to teach their own Words on His Sabbath Day or at any time. Rather they were to teach the Words of the Good Shepherd who has the One Doctrine of Good with the wisdom and understanding that comes by the burden the workload of making known the Light teaching the Words of God that gives Light and gives understanding, according to the instruction of David in Psalm 119:130.) What does Wisdom do? The answer is contained within the parable of Proverbs 9:1-6 and Proverbs 1: Consider that she is the One who feeds us the item that gives who serves - understanding to those who come into her house understanding that is His Words per Psalm 119:130. Proverbs 9:1-6 1 Wisdom has built her house, She has hewn out her seven pillars; 2 SHE HAS SLAUGHTERED HER MEAT, SHE HAS MIXED HER WINE, SHE HAS ALSO FURNISHED HER TABLE. 3 SHE HAS SENT OUT HER MAIDENS, SHE CRIES OUT FROM THE HIGHEST PLACES OF THE CITY, 4 "WHOEVER IS SIMPLE, LET HIM TURN IN HERE! AS FOR HIM WHO LACKS UNDERSTANDING, SHE SAYS TO HIM, 5 "COME, EAT OF MY BREAD AND DRINK OF THE WINE I HAVE MIXED. 6 FORSAKE FOOLISHNESS AND LIVE, AND GO IN THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING. Psalm 119:130 The Entrance of Your Words GIVES LIGHT; it gives Understanding to the Simple. Proverbs 1: WISDOM CALLS ALOUD OUTSIDE; SHE RAISES HER VOICE IN THE OPEN SQUARES. 21 SHE CRIES OUT IN THE CHIEF CONCOURSES, AT THE OPENINGS OF THE GATES IN THE CITY SHE SPEAKS HER WORDS 22 HOW LONG YOU SIMPLE (naïve) ONES, WILL YOU LOVE SIMPLICITY (naivety)? FOR SCORNERS DELIGHT IN SCORNING, AND FOOLS HATE KNOWLEDGE. 23 TURN AT MY REPROOF: SURELY I WILL POUR OUT MY SPIRIT ON YOU. I WILL MAKE MY WORDS KNOWN TO YOU. 24 Because I have called and you refused. I HAVE STRETCHED OUT MY HAND AND NO ONE REGARDED. 25 Because you disdained all My counsel, and would have none of My reproof, 26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your terror comes. 27 When your terror comes like a storm, and your destruction comes like a whirlwind. When distress and anguish come upon you. 28 THEN THEY WILL CALL UPON ME, BUT I

3 Page No.: 3 Notes for Dec. 28, 2010, Teleconference Bible Study with Floyd E. Taylor WILL NOT ANSWER; THEN THEY WILL SEEK ME DILIGENTLY, BUT THEY WILL NOT FIND ME. 29 BECAUSE THEY HATED KNOWLEDGE, AND DID NOT CHOOSE THE FEAR OF THE LORD, 30 THEY WOULD HAVE NONE OF MY COUNSEL, AND WOULD HAVE NONE OF MY REPROOF. 31 THEREFORE THEY SHALL EAT THE FRUIT OF THEIR OWN WAY, AND BE FILLED TO THE FULL WITH THEIR OWN FANCIES. 32 FOR THE TURNING AWAY OF THE SIMPLE WILL SLAY THEM, AND THE COMPLACENCY OF FOOLS WILL DESTROY THEM. 33 BUT, WHOEVER LISTENS TO ME WILL DWELL SAFELY, AND WILL BE SECURE (AT EASE) WITHOUT FEAR OF EVIL. Job 36:12 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the Sword (The Words of God that are Spirit and they are Life John 6:63), and they shall die without knowledge. (The Sword is the Spirit of God, which is the Words of God per Ephesians 6:17.) Consider that the 23 rd Psalm comes after the Psalm of the Promise of the Lord s overcoming the world. Thus, the 23 rd Psalm is as it is a Promise of god to us for our overcoming of the world. Take notice that it is a Psalm that is set to the song of "The Deer of the Dawn." And it is a Psalm of David. Jesus is the Sun that rises as Dawn of the Morning., In Psalm 19 David told us that the sun is the symbol of the Promise of the Way of the coming of the Bridegroom. In Isaiah 21:10-12 we are told that the Dawn of the Morning comes at the same time as the Night. Such is the Promise of Psalm 23. There is a promised time when Jesus will rule over the nations before He destroys them who will not turn. Psalm 22: My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? Why are You so far from helping Me, and from the Words of My groaning? 2 O My God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not hear; and in the night season, and am not silent. 3 But You are holy, enthroned in the praises of Israel. 4 Our fathers trusted in You; they trusted, and You delivered them. 5 They cried to You, and were delivered; they trusted in You, and were not ashamed. 6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people. 7 All those who see Me ridicule Me; they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, 8 "He trusted in the LORD, let Him rescue Him; let Him deliver Him, since He delights in Him!" 9 But You are He who took Me out of the womb; You made Me trust while on My mother's breasts. 10 I was cast upon You from birth. From My mother's womb You have been My God. 11 Be not far from Me, for trouble is near; for there is none to help. 12 Many bulls have surrounded Me; strong bulls of Bashan have encircled Me. (Consider the meaning of Bashan is in the tooth, or in ivory". Solomon s throne had ivory. It is symbolic of the words spoken to be of the root of Truth. In this case this is revealing that the strong bulls of Bashan are the priests and leaders of the people of Israel who would crucify Him and justify it with their false words, claiming that it was for the Glory of God. Because they did not know His words they could not discern the knowledge of this verse, and it is a testimony against their lack of knowledge and foolish wisdom.) 13 They gape at Me with their mouths, like a raging and roaring lion. 14 I am poured out like water, and all My bones are out of joint; My heart is like wax; it has melted within Me. 15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and My tongue clings to My jaws; You have brought Me to the dust of death. 16 For dogs have surrounded Me; the congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me. They pierced My hands and My feet; 17 I can count all My bones. They look and stare at Me. 18 They divide My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast lots. 19 But You, O LORD, do not be far from Me; O My Strength, hasten to help Me! 20 Deliver Me from the sword, My precious life from the power of the dog. 21 Save Me from the lion's mouth and from the horns of the wild oxen! You have answered Me. 22 I will declare Your name to My brethren; in the midst of the assembly I will praise You. 23 You who fear the LORD, praise Him! All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him, and fear Him, all you offspring of Israel! 24 For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; nor has He hidden His face from Him; but when He cried to Him, He heard. 25 My praise

4 Page No.: 4 Notes for Dec. 28, 2010, Teleconference Bible Study with Floyd E. Taylor shall be of You in the great assembly; I will pay My vows before those who fear Him. 26 The poor shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek Him will praise the LORD. Let your heart live forever! 27 ALL THE ENDS OF THE WORLD SHALL REMEMBER AND TURN TO THE LORD, AND ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE NATIONS SHALL WORSHIP BEFORE YOU. 28 FOR THE KINGDOM IS THE LORD'S, AND HE RULES OVER THE NATIONS. 29 ALL THE PROSPEROUS OF THE EARTH SHALL EAT AND WORSHIP; ALL THOSE WHO GO DOWN TO THE DUST SHALL BOW BEFORE HIM, EVEN HE WHO CANNOT KEEP HIMSELF ALIVE. 30 A POSTERITY SHALL SERVE HIM. IT WILL BE RECOUNTED OF THE LORD TO THE NEXT GENERATION, 31 THEY WILL COME AND DECLARE HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS TO A PEOPLE WHO WILL BE BORN, THAT HE HAS DONE THIS. Likewise the 24 th Psalm that follows the 23 rd Psalm confirms of the Kingdom of Glory of the King of Glory. Psalm 24: The earth is the LORD's, and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein. 2 For He has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the waters. 3 Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who may stand in His holy place? 4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, nor sworn deceitfully. 5 He shall receive blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. 6 This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him, who seek Your face. Selah. 7 Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. 8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. 9 Lift up your heads, O you gates! Lift up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. 10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah Let us now look at a great Psalm that is important for us in providing knowledge of the Way of the Lord for us to overcome the world by increasing in knowledge of Him. The world is taking away the sovereignty of our nation, and we need to understand that they do not know the Sovereignty of the LORD in Creation and history, for only He determines sovereignty. Psalm 33: Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous! For praise from the upright is beautiful. 2 Praise the LORD with the harp; make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings. 3 Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully with a shout of joy. 4 FOR THE WORD OF THE LORD IS RIGHT, AND ALL HIS WORK IS DONE IN TRUTH. 5 HE LOVES RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE; THE EARTH IS FULL OF THE GOODNESS OF THE LORD. (Consider Revelation 12:15-16.) 6 BY THE WORD OF THE LORD THE HEAVENS WERE MADE, AND ALL THE HOST OF THEM BY THE BREATH OF HIS MOUTH. 7 HE GATHERS THE WATERS OF THE SEA TOGETHER AS A HEAP; HE LAYS UP THE DEEP IN STOREHOUSES. 8 Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. 9 FOR HE SPOKE, AND IT WAS DONE; HE COMMANDED, AND IT STOOD FAST. 10 THE LORD BRINGS THE COUNSEL OF THE NATIONS TO NOTHING; HE MAKES THE PLANS OF THE PEOPLES OF NO EFFECT. 11 THE COUNSEL OF THE LORD STANDS FOREVER, THE PLANS OF HIS HEART TO ALL GENERATIONS. 12 BLESSED IS THE NATION WHOSE GOD IS THE LORD, THE PEOPLE HE HAS CHOSEN AS HIS OWN INHERITANCE. 13 THE LORD LOOKS FROM HEAVEN; HE SEES ALL THE SONS OF MEN. 14 FROM THE PLACE OF HIS DWELLING HE LOOKS ON ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH; 15 HE FASHIONS THEIR HEARTS INDIVIDUALLY; HE CONSIDERS ALL THEIR WORKS. 16 NO KING IS SAVED BY THE MULTITUDE OF AN ARMY; A MIGHTY MAN IS NOT DELIVERED BY GREAT STRENGTH. 17 A HORSE IS A VAIN HOPE FOR SAFETY; NEITHER SHALL IT DELIVER ANY BY ITS GREAT STRENGTH. 18 BEHOLD, THE EYE OF THE LORD IS ON THOSE WHO FEAR HIM, ON

5 THOSE WHO HOPE IN HIS MERCY, 19 TO DELIVER THEIR SOUL FROM DEATH, AND TO KEEP THEM ALIVE IN FAMINE. 20 OUR SOUL WAITS FOR THE LORD; HE IS OUR HELP AND OUR SHIELD. 21 FOR OUR HEART SHALL REJOICE IN HIM, BECAUSE WE HAVE TRUSTED IN HIS HOLY NAME. (Because of His Words and the Promises of Good works that He placed within them for all those who do the Ways of His Words within His Will per John 15:7, 1 John 5:14-15). 22 Let Your mercy, O LORD, be upon us, just as we hope in You. Revelation 12: SO THE SERPENT SPEWED WATER OUT OF HIS MOUTH LIKE A FLOOD AFTER THE WOMAN THAT HE MIGHT CAUSE HER TO BE CARRIED AWAY BY THE FLOOD. 16 BUT THE EARTH HELPED THE WOMAN, AND THE EARTH OPENED ITS MOUTH AND SWALLOWED UP THE FLOOD WHICH THE DRAGON HAD SPEWED OUT OF HIS MOUTH. Isaiah 59:19 19 SO SHALL THEY FEAR THE NAME OF THE LORD FROM THE WEST, AND HIS GLORY FROM THE RISING OF THE SUN; WHEN THE ENEMY COMES IN LIKE A FLOOD, THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD WILL LIFT UP A STANDARD AGAINST HIM. In Psalm 33:4 He says that He makes all things by His Truth that is His Promises of Good Works that He placed in His Words from before the Creation. Consider that in Psalm 136:5 we see that it is by His Wisdom that He made the Heavens, thus by simple deduction we can understand that in His Words is found all Wisdom. Therefore we can understand why it is so critical for Wisdom to have left the church. Psalm 136:5 TO HIM WHO BY WISDOM MADE THE HEAVENS, FOR HIS MERCY ENDURES FOREVER; 1 Corinthians 1:30 But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God and righteousness and sanctification and redemption John 15:7 If you abide in Me, and My Words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. John 14: Jesus said to him, Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father, so how can you say, Show us the Father? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in Me? The Words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority, but the Father who dwells in Me DOES THE WORKS. (The Father is in His Words that Jesus had within Him). 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves. 12 MOST ASSUREDLY, I SAY TO YOU, HE WHO BELIEVES IN ME, THE WORKS THAT I DO HE WILL DO ALSO; AND GREATER WORKS THAN THESE HE WILL DO, BECAUSE I GO TO MY FATHER. 13 AND WHATEVER YOU ASK IN MY NAME, THAT I WILL DO, THAT THE FATHER MAY BE GLORIFIED IN THE SON. 14 IF YOU ASK ANYTHING IN MY NAME, I WILL DO IT. (In Revelation 19:13 it is recorded His Name is the Word of God Call on His Word.) Consider the People whom the Lord is coming for: Psalm 50:1-6 1 The Mighty One, God the LORD, has spoken and called the earth from the rising of the sun to its going down. 2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God will shine forth. 3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent; a fire shall devour before Him, and it shall be very tempestuous all around Him. 4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that He may judge His people: 5 "Gather My saints together to Me, those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice." 6 Let the heavens declare His righteousness, for God Himself is Judge. Selah Page No.: 5

6 Psalm 50: "Hear, O My people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you; I am God, your God! 8 I will not rebuke you for your sacrifices or your burnt offerings, which are continually before Me. 9 I will not take a bull from your house, nor goats out of your folds. 10 For every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. 11 I know all the birds of the mountains, and the wild beasts of the field are Mine. 12 "If I were hungry, I would not tell you; for the world is Mine, and all its fullness. 13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? 14 Offer to God thanksgiving, and pay your vows to the Most High. 15 Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me." 16 But to the wicked God says: "What right have you to declare My statutes, or take My covenant in your mouth, 17 seeing you hate instruction and cast My Words behind you? 18 When you saw a thief, you consented with him, and have been a partaker with adulterers. 19 You give your mouth to evil, and your tongue frames deceit. 20 You sit and speak against your brother; you slander your own mother's son. 21 These things you have done, and I kept silent; you thought that I was altogether like you; but I will rebuke you, and set them in order before your eyes. 22 "NOW CONSIDER THIS, YOU WHO FORGET GOD, LEST I TEAR YOU IN PIECES, AND THERE BE NONE TO DELIVER: (This is important when you consider His Warning of Matthew 24:20 and Mark 13:18). 23 Whoever offers praise glorifies Me; and to him who orders his conduct aright I will show the salvation of God." The Heritage of the Righteous and the Calamity of the Wicked Psalm 37: Do not fret because of evildoers, nor be envious of the workers of iniquity. 2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. 3 Trust in the LORD, and do Good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. 4 Delight yourself also in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. 5 Commit your way to the LORD, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass. 6 He shall bring forth your righteousness as the Light, and your justice as the noonday. 7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him; do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass. 8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; do not fret it only causes harm. 9 FOR EVILDOERS SHALL BE CUT OFF; BUT THOSE WHO WAIT ON THE LORD, THEY SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH. 10 FOR YET A LITTLE WHILE AND THE WICKED SHALL BE NO MORE; INDEED, YOU WILL LOOK CAREFULLY FOR HIS PLACE, BUT IT SHALL BE NO MORE. 11 BUT THE MEEK SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH, AND SHALL DELIGHT THEMSELVES IN THE ABUNDANCE OF peace. (Wonderful promises in verse 9-11, for this is about to come to completion, as we are now in the Year of His Recompense that started at Rosh Hashanah in September The Bible reveals that within this year this will be completed.) 12 THE WICKED PLOTS AGAINST THE JUST, AND GNASHES AT HIM WITH HIS TEETH. (The teeth in this case is the symbol of the Words of their mind being formed for evil. The teeth are likened to the recorded Word. When the Lord gives a tooth and says to become part of His Threshing Sledge, He is saying to be a doer of the recorded instruction of God s Words.) 13 The Lord laughs at him, for He sees that his Day is coming. 14 THE WICKED HAVE DRAWN THE SWORD AND HAVE BENT THEIR BOW, TO CAST DOWN THE POOR AND NEEDY, TO SLAY THOSE WHO ARE OF UPRIGHT CONDUCT (The Lord told us that in this Day they will do this Mt. 24:20 and Mk. 13:18.). 15 THEIR SWORD SHALL ENTER THEIR OWN HEART, AND THEIR BOWS SHALL BE BROKEN (The Lord is saying that the words that they have spoken will be the punishment that comes upon them. In other words, when Prince Philip of the UK said that he wanted to return as a virus to kill 95% of the people upon the earth, then it is likely that the Lord is going to destroy him with terrible viruses so that all the world will know of his wicked end. Likewise, when Henry Kissinger said that military men are just worthless pawns to be used for the purposes of the elite, then it is likely that his death will come by torture from the hands of Page No.: 6

7 many former military men who were under his hand. When Obama allowed people to call him to be like a god, then it is likely that the Lord will strike him in the same manner that he struck King Herod wherein he was suddenly stricken and eaten from the inside out by worms. Likewise when the Rothschild family say that they are like a god over the earth and that they can do what they will without the fear of the armies and peoples of a nation, then their children are likely to see the same reduction to eating grass like the cattle in the field as like occurred to King Nebuchadnezzar.) 16 A LITTLE THAT A RIGHTEOUS MAN HAS IS BETTER THAN THE RICHES OF MANY WICKED. (This is a very important instruction to us of this Day, for the Lord is saying that it is better to go into Battle with His Words and His Promises of Good Works that the Father placed within His Words, than to have any of the weapons and laws made by the arms of man, for in verse 17 He reveals that all these weapons and works of man for evil and for power, shall be destroyed and cut off. Their missiles are going to cease and their weapons will not fire, when those who Love Him become hearers and doers of His Words.) 17 FOR THE ARMS OF THE WICKED SHALL BE BROKEN, BUT THE LORD UPHOLDS THE RIGHTEOUS. 18 The LORD knows the days of the upright, and their inheritance shall be forever (We are now in the Appointed Time when the Righteous shall receive their inheritance of the Kingdom of God.). 19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time, and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. 20 But the wicked shall perish; and the enemies of the LORD, like the splendor of the meadows, shall vanish. Into smoke they shall vanish away. 21 The wicked borrows and does not repay, but the righteous shows mercy and gives. 22 For those blessed by Him shall inherit the earth, but those cursed by Him shall be cut off. 23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, and He delights in his way. 24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the LORD upholds him with His hand. 25 I have been young, and now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his descendants begging bread. 26 He is ever merciful, and lends; and his descendants are blessed. 27 Depart from evil, and do Good; and dwell forevermore. (This is such a wonderful Promise of the Lord.) 28 For the LORD loves justice, and does not forsake His saints; they are preserved forever (Consider what He has just revealed very carefully, and you will see your future that is at hand if you will be persistent to seek His Words and to do the Ways of His Words.), nut the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off. 29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell in it forever. (Here is the promise of the fulfillment of Daniel 2:44 that is now at hand, for it is for this very day the Year of His Recompense the Year that He brings forth His Elect to Light and turns them into children of God the Saints of the Most High God.) 30 The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, and his tongue talks of justice. 31 The Law of his God is in his heart (In Psalm 119:142 it becomes clear that this Law is to be a hearer of His Words and then fgoing forth to be a doer of His Words.); none of his steps shall slide. 32 The wicked watches the righteous, and seeks to slay him. 33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged. 34 Wait on the LORD, and keep His Way (We are to be hearers of His Words and then be doers of the Ways of Good so that we can to enable Him to do His Good Works for others and for the brining forth of His Kingdom of Light.), and He shall exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, you shall see it. 35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a native green tree. 36 Yet he passed away, and behold, he was no more; indeed I sought him, but he could not be found. 37 Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright; for the future of that man is peace. 38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together; the future of the wicked shall be cut off. 39 But the salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; He is their strength in the time of trouble. 40 And the LORD shall help them and deliver them; He shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in Him.

Taylor The last two nights we have briefly considered Solomon's great wealth and how the Lord caused so much wealth to come to him every year. Remember that the purpose that Solomon asked for the pride becomes his fall. 2 Chronicles 1: Now Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him and exalted him exceedingly. 2 And Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to every leader in all Israel, the heads of the fathers' houses. 3 Then Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for the tabernacle of meeting with God was there, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness. 4 But David had brought up the ark of God from Kirjath-Jearim (This name means city of woods. This is a name given to the place where the ark had been prior to David leaving it on the threshing floor of the house of Obed-Edom, the Gittite. The name Obed-Edom means, the servant of Edom, while the Hittite means men of Gath, or men of the wine-press.), TO THE PLACE DAVID HAD PREPARED FOR IT, FOR HE HAD PITCHED A TENT FOR IT AT JERUSALEM. 5 Now the bronze altar that Bezalel (This name means in the shadow of God ) the son of Uri (This name means in my Light, or my fire )the son of Hur (This name means in liberty, whiteness, or hole ), had made, he put before the tabernacle of the LORD; Solomon and the assembly sought Him there. 6 And Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before the LORD, which was at the tabernacle of meeting, and offered a thousand burnt offerings on it. (Remember that the number 1000 has the meaning of He who overcomes.) 7 On that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, "Ask! What shall I give you?" 8 And Solomon said to God: "You have shown great mercy to David my father, and have made me king in his place. 9 Now, O LORD God, let Your promise to David my father be established, for You have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude. 10 Now give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this great people of Yours?" 11 Then God said to Solomon: "Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches or wealth or honor or the life of your enemies, nor have you asked long life but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge My people over whom I have made you king 12 wisdom and knowledge are granted to you; and I will give you riches and wealth and honor, such as none of the kings have had who were before you, nor shall any after you have the like." The Number 1000 Factors: 10 x 10 x 10 He who overcomes (Revelation 3:12) Of the Lord All the House of Israel (Acts 2:36) The LORD is gracious and righteous (Psalm 116:5) You are sons (Galatians 4:6) Believe! (John 4:21) For I keep thy precepts (Psalm 119:100) Shuddering [Strong s # 8606] All who do evil (Malachi 4:1) Fire and Brimstone (Psalm 11:6) Trembling [Strong s #7578] 1 Kings The weight of gold that came to Solomon yearly was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold, (This number of 666 is the decision number, for choosing whether you are of God or of the world. This number 666 is the number value of such phrases as He who made the earth, wealth, profit, and, like God. But it is also the Gematria number value of to turn away, a

9 dwelling place of dragons, and the verse of Amos 5:18 The Day of the LORD is darkness, not light. Thus, you can see that it is a the eternal decision of man the number of man s choice of the Way he will live.) 15 besides that from the traveling merchants, from the income of traders, from all the kings of Arabia, and from the governors of the country. 16 And King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; six hundred shekels of gold went into each shield. 17 He also made three hundred shields of hammered gold; three minas of gold went into each shield. The king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon. 18 MOREOVER THE KING MADE A GREAT THRONE OF IVORY, AND OVERLAID IT WITH PURE GOLD. 19 THE THRONE HAD SIX STEPS, AND THE TOP OF THE THRONE WAS ROUND AT THE BACK; THERE WERE ARMRESTS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE PLACE OF THE SEAT, AND TWO LIONS STOOD BESIDE THE ARMRESTS. 20 Twelve lions stood there, one on each side of the six steps; nothing like this had been made for any other kingdom. 21 All King Solomon's drinking vessels were gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. Not one was silver, for this was accounted as nothing in the days of Solomon. 22 For the king had merchant ships at sea with the fleet of Hiram. Once every three years the merchant ships came bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and monkeys. 23 So King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom. 24 Now all the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart. 25 Each man brought his present: articles of silver and gold, garments, armor, spices, horses, and mules, at a set rate year by year. 26 And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen; he had one thousand four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he stationed in the chariot cities and with the king at Jerusalem. 27 The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedar trees as abundant as the sycamores which are in the lowland. 28 ALSO SOLOMON HAD HORSES IMPORTED FROM EGYPT AND KEVEH; THE KING'S MERCHANTS BOUGHT THEM IN KEVEH AT THE CURRENT PRICE. 29 NOW A CHARIOT THAT WAS IMPORTED FROM EGYPT COST SIX HUNDRED SHEKELS OF SILVER, AND A HORSE ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY; AND THUS, THROUGH THEIR AGENTS, THEY EXPORTED THEM TO ALL THE KINGS OF THE HITTITES AND THE KINGS OF SYRIA. Revelation 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Page No.: 9

Solomon's Military and Economic Power (1 Kin. 10:26 29; 2 Chr. 9:25 28) 2 Chronicles 1: So Solomon came to Jerusalem from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the tabernacle of meeting, and reigned over Israel. 14 And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen; he had one thousand four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he stationed in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem. 15 Also the king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedars as abundant as the sycamores which are in the lowland. 16 And Solomon had horses imported from Egypt and Keveh; the king's merchants bought them in Keveh at the current price. 17 They also acquired and imported from Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for one hundred and fifty; thus, through their agents, they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Syria.

11 Page No.: 11 Notes for Dec. 28, 2010, Teleconference Bible Study with Floyd E. Taylor Consider again the story of the Queen of Sheba and how it is today. 1 Kings 10: NOW WHEN THE QUEEN OF SHEBA(This name Sheba means an oath, so you can say she is likened to a Queen is search of the Truth.) HEARD OF THE FAME OF SOLOMON CONCERNING THE NAME OF THE LORD, SHE CAME TO TEST HIM WITH HARD QUESTIONS. 2 SHE CAME TO JERUSALEM WITH A VERY GREAT RETINUE, WITH CAMELS THAT BORE SPICES, VERY MUCH GOLD, AND PRECIOUS STONES; AND WHEN SHE CAME TO SOLOMON, SHE SPOKE WITH HIM ABOUT ALL THAT WAS IN HER HEART. (It is clear that she asked of everything science, religion, power, etc., but understand that she came bearing gifts, for in her heart she recognized that if this was true, then the value of these Words of God are greater than any treasure on earth, and sweeter than any gift that is possible to receive.) 3 SO SOLOMON ANSWERED ALL HER QUESTIONS; THERE WAS NOTHING SO DIFFICULT FOR THE KING THAT HE COULD NOT EXPLAIN IT TO HER. 4 AND WHEN THE QUEEN OF SHEBA HAD SEEN ALL THE WISDOM OF SOLOMON, THE HOUSE THAT HE HAD BUILT, 5 THE FOOD ON HIS TABLE, THE SEATING OF HIS SERVANTS, THE SERVICE OF HIS WAITERS AND THEIR APPAREL, HIS CUPBEARERS, AND HIS ENTRYWAY BY WHICH HE WENT UP TO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, THERE WAS NO MORE SPIRIT IN HER. 6 THEN SHE SAID TO THE KING: "IT WAS A TRUE REPORT WHICH I HEARD IN MY OWN LAND ABOUT YOUR WORDS AND YOUR WISDOM. 7 HOWEVER I DID NOT BELIEVE THE WORDS UNTIL I CAME AND SAW WITH MY OWN EYES; AND INDEED THE HALF WAS NOT TOLD ME. YOUR WISDOM AND PROSPERITY EXCEED THE FAME OF WHICH I HEARD. 8 HAPPY ARE YOUR MEN AND HAPPY ARE THESE YOUR SERVANTS, WHO STAND CONTINUALLY BEFORE YOU AND HEAR YOUR WISDOM! 9 BLESSED BE THE LORD YOUR GOD, WHO DELIGHTED IN YOU, SETTING YOU ON THE THRONE OF ISRAEL! BECAUSE THE LORD HAS LOVED ISRAEL FOREVER, THEREFORE HE MADE YOU KING, TO DO JUSTICE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS." 10 THEN SHE GAVE THE KING ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY TALENTS OF GOLD, SPICES IN GREAT QUANTITY, AND PRECIOUS STONES. (This number 120 is the symbol of The Pillar of Perfection, or The Pillar of Strength, for she found that the Power of God is in His Words.) THERE NEVER AGAIN CAME SUCH ABUNDANCE OF SPICES AS THE QUEEN OF SHEBA GAVE TO KING SOLOMON. 11 Also, the ships of Hiram (This name means a exaltation of Life ), which brought gold from Ophir (This name means a fruitful place ), brought great quantities of almug wood and precious stones from Ophir. 12 And the king made steps of the almug wood for the house of the LORD and for the king's house, also harps and stringed instruments for singers. There never again came such almug wood, nor has the like been seen to this day. 13 Now King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she desired, whatever she asked, besides what Solomon had given her according to the royal generosity. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants. The number 120 is symbolic of the Pillar of Perfection as the chart shows. The Number 120 Samek (15th Letter) Uphold, Support (Judges 16.29) Pillar [Strong s # 5982] Perfection [Strong s # 4359] Strength [Strong s # 2393] Congregation (Exodus 27.21) Store Up, Save [Strong s # 3647] Tribute, Tax [Strong s # 4371]

12 2 Chronicles 9: Now when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to Jerusalem to test Solomon with hard questions, having a very great retinue, camels that bore spices, gold in abundance, and precious stones; and when she came to Solomon, she spoke with him about all that was in her heart. 2 So Solomon answered all her questions; there was nothing so difficult for Solomon that he could not explain it to her. 3 And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built, 4 the food on his table, the seating of his servants, the service of his waiters and their apparel, his cupbearers and their apparel, and his entryway by which he went up to the house of the LORD, there was no more spirit in her. 5 Then she said to the king: "It was a true report which I heard in my own land about your words and your wisdom. 6 However I did not believe their words until I came and saw with my own eyes; and indeed the half of the greatness of your wisdom was not told me. You exceed the fame of which I heard. 7 Happy are your men and happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom! 8 Blessed be the LORD your God, who delighted in you, setting you on His throne to be king for the LORD your God! Because your God has loved Israel, to establish them forever, therefore He made you king over them, to do justice and righteousness." 9 And she gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, spices in great abundance, and precious stones; there never were any spices such as those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon. 10 Also, the servants of Hiram and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, brought algum wood and precious stones. 11 And the king made walkways of the algum wood for the house of the LORD and for the king's house, also harps and stringed instruments for singers; and there were none such as these seen before in the land of Judah. 12 Now King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all she desired, whatever she asked, much more than she had brought to the king. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants. I would like to review John 8 because it is interesting thought of the Way of the Lord in this Day in our choice of whether we will decide to be like Him. Consider how He answers. But, especially how He does the Way of His Words to cause an answer and overcome the accusers. We need to be like this and to do likewise to help those accused, for this day He will accept all those who call upon His Name. John 8: But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 Now early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him; and He sat down and taught them. 3 Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst, 4 they said to Him, "Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now Moses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned. But what do You say?" 6 This they said, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear. 7 So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first." 8 And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. 9 Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10 When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, "Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?" 11 She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said to her, "Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more." 12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life." Page No.: 12

13 Jesus Defends His Self-Witness Notes for Dec. 28, 2010, Teleconference Bible Study with Floyd E. Taylor John 8: The Pharisees therefore said to Him, "You bear witness of Yourself; Your witness is not true." 14 Jesus answered and said to them, "Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from and where I am going. 15 You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one. 16 And yet if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent Me. 17 It is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is true. 18 I am One who bears witness of Myself, and the Father who sent Me bears witness of Me." 19 Then they said to Him, "Where is Your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also." 20 These Words Jesus spoke in the treasury, as He taught in the temple; and no one laid hands on Him, for His hour had not yet come. Jesus Predicts His Departure John 8: Then Jesus said to them again, "I am going away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin. Where I go you cannot come." 22 So the Jews said, "Will He kill Himself, because He says, 'Where I go you cannot come'?" 23 And He said to them, "You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. 24 Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins." 25 Then they said to Him, "Who are You?" And Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning. 26 I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I heard from Him." 27 They did not understand that He spoke to them of the Father. (Consider what was just said and you can see that John is saying that the judgment is by whether or not we have heard, we have received, we have believed, and that we have become a keeper of the Words of the Father a doer of His Words - when He caused His Words to be offered to us. Remember that the Queen of the South is going to stand up in judgment against all those of this Day of the Lord, who, when they heard of these Words did not immediately then discern that they must do all that they can to come and hear of the knowledge of His Words. The Queen of the South left her nobility and came to ask of these questions, and she gave nearly the wealth of her nation to receive of this knowledge. She then received more in return than what she gave. But, the key point is that the people in America who have heard of these Words will not even join a conference call to hear of this knowledge. Even the poorest of the Muslims will make a pilgrimage and travel to Mecca at least once in their life time. I believe if they heard of these Words they would be far more zealous to come and seek out this knowledge.) 28 Then Jesus said to them, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things. 29 And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him." 30 As He spoke these words, many believed in Him. The Truth Shall Make You Free John 8: Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." 33 They answered Him, "We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, 'You will be made free'?" 34 Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, Page No.: 13

14 whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. 35 And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. 36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. Abraham's Seed and Satan's John 8: "I know that you are Abraham's descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you. 38 I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have seen with your father." 39 They answered and said to Him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham. 40 But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this. 41 You do the deeds of your father." Then they said to Him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father God." 42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me. 43 Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. 44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. 45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me. 46 Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me? 47 He who is of God hears God's words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God." Before Abraham Was, I AM John 8: Then the Jews answered and said to Him, "Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?" 49 Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me. 50 And I do not seek My own glory; there is One who seeks and judges. 51 Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death." 52 Then the Jews said to Him, "Now we know that You have a demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and You say, 'If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death.' 53 Are You greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. Who do You make Yourself out to be?" 54 Jesus answered, "If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who honors Me, of whom you say that He is your God. 55 Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say, 'I do not know Him,' I shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him and keep His word. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad." 57 Then the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?" 58 Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM." 59 Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

15 Now consider Solomon records that seeking all the pleasures of this life are vain and in the end they are of nothing but vanity. For both the wise of men and the fool of men are worthless without walking in the Way of the Father under the Sun of God Jesus Christ (1 Kin. 4:20 28). Ecclesiastes 2: I said in my heart, "Come now, I will test you with mirth; therefore enjoy pleasure"; but surely, this also was vanity. 2 I said of laughter "Madness!"; and of mirth, "What does it accomplish?" 3 I searched in my heart how to gratify my flesh with wine, while guiding my heart with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was good for the sons of men to do under heaven all the days of their lives. 4 I made my works great, I built myself houses, and planted myself vineyards. 5 I made myself gardens and orchards, and I planted all kinds of fruit trees in them. 6 I made myself water pools from which to water the growing trees of the grove. 7 I acquired male and female servants, and had servants born in my house. Yes, I had greater possessions of herds and flocks than all who were in Jerusalem before me. 8 I also gathered for myself silver and gold and the special treasures of kings and of the provinces. I acquired male and female singers, the delights of the sons of men, and musical instruments of all kinds. 9 So I became great and excelled more than all who were before me in Jerusalem. Also my wisdom remained with me. 10 Whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them. I did not withhold my heart from any pleasure, for my heart rejoiced in all my labor; and this was my reward from all my labor. 11 THEN I LOOKED ON ALL THE WORKS THAT MY HANDS HAD DONE AND ON THE LABOR IN WHICH I HAD TOILED; and indeed all was vanity and grasping for the wind. There was no profit under the sun. 12 Then I turned myself to consider wisdom and madness and folly; for what can the man do who succeeds the king? Only what he has already done. 13 Then I saw that wisdom excels folly as light excels darkness. 14 The wise man's eyes are in his head, but the fool walks in darkness. Yet I myself perceived that the same event happens to them all. 15 So I said in my heart, "As it happens to the fool, it also happens to me, and why was I then more wise?" Then I said in my heart, "this also is vanity." 16 For there is no more remembrance of the wise than of the fool forever, since all that now is will be forgotten in the days to come. And how does a wise man die? As the fool! 17 Therefore I hated life because the work that was done under the sun was distressing to me, for all is vanity and grasping for the wind. 18 Then I hated all my labor in which I had toiled under the sun, because I must leave it to the man who will come after me. 19 And who knows whether he will be wise or a fool? Yet he will rule over all my labor in which I toiled and in which I have shown myself wise under the sun. This also is vanity. 20 Therefore I turned my heart and despaired of all the labor in which I had toiled under the sun. 21 For there is a man whose labor is with wisdom, knowledge, and skill; yet he must leave his heritage to a man who has not labored for it. This also is vanity and a great evil. 22 For what has man for all his labor, and for the striving of his heart with which he has toiled under the sun? 23 For all his days are sorrowful, and his work burdensome; even in the night his heart takes no rest. This also is vanity. 24 Nothing is better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and that his soul should enjoy good in his labor. This also, I saw, was from the hand of God. 25 For who can eat, or who can have enjoyment, more than I? 26 For God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy to a man who is good in His sight; but to the sinner He gives the work of gathering and collecting, that He may give to him who is Good before God. This also is vanity and grasping for the wind. Page No.: 15

18 A side note: It is simply amazing to me that the leaders of the One World Order the 13 families have continued this theme of aliens coming as a means to cause the people to panic and turn to their friendly One World Order government to save them. It is the biggest sham since Santa Claus, and they spend billions of dollars each year utilizing secret technology to deceive people into believing this scam. More amazing is that there are many so-called Christians who believe these lies and activities of deceits. We should learn by the continuous false votes performed weekly in the Congress and Senate that deceive us actively operate on our minds to get us deceived into accepting the loss of our rights and freedoms and call it as a good thing, or as the will of the majority of the people. Even today they announced the most respected people in the nation and they surely lied when they put Obama, George Bush Jr., Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin, Oprah, and Michelle Obama on this list of most admired people in America. Surely that is a false poll, for these are some of the most disrespected people in America, and of the most worthy of being disrespected. You surely have to add Soros, Bush Sr., Joe Lieberman, Warren Buffet, Al Mansour, Bill Gates, Rockefeller (Both of them), Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Arnold Schwarzenegger and all of the Supreme court Justices to the list of the most unworthy Americans that are surely due the most disgust of the American people. UFOs and NASA: The Meme Goes On Tuesday, December 28, 2010 by Staff Report, the Daily Bell, Appenzell, Switzerland Like a bad penny that keeps showing up, UFOs have been around on a regular basis from antiquity through modern day. And as 2010 unfolded, the UFO mythology was alive and well. Famed British astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, the pope's astronomer, a high-ranking Italian politician and even the late Winston Churchill (according to recently unearthed documents) helped keep UFOs in the news. And sightings of unexplained flying objects came in from all over the world. AOL News Dominant Social Theme: It's all true the UFOs are coming...even the experts say so. Free-Market Analysis: This is a good UFO article. The idea, generally, in our view, is to sow confusion and provide elite authoritarian institutions with the opportunity to further emphasize their global roles. The fear factor, as AOL itself notes (without offering a larger explanation) was provided satisfactorily in 2010 by astrophysicist Stephen Hawking of England, who warned that extraterrestrial contact might not be satisfying or awe-inspiring but terribly dangerous. Perhaps as a result, the AOL article continues the Czech Republic created "new guidelines" for dealing with potential alien contacts. Meanwhile, Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, governor of Russia's Buddhist republic, Kalmykia, went public with the news he had been subject to an alien abduction but had later becomes pals. Vatican astronomer Guy Consolmagno spoke of baptizing them. Italy's Mario Borghezio has lobbied the European Union to publish hitherto hidden UFO documents. Former Air Force Capt. Robert Salas revealed in press conferences that UFOs had somehow interacted with nuclear missiles. Former Air Force Col. Charles Halt related similar stories. These reports where then buttressed by predictions that UFOs would show up in the skies of New York, which they duly did on the predicted day though some claimed they were merely a flock of helium balloons. UFO sightings were also made that same day in Texas, Virginia and China. Britain was not immune to UFO fever. "UFO drills" educated young pupils on how to deal with a potential UFO crash-landing. Meanwhile, the publication of certain post-world War II, hush-hush documents explain that Prime Minister Churchill was reluctant to release certain UFO files so as not to frighten the public. Page No.: 18

19 The Unarius Academy of Science "reached out" to the Interplanetary Conclave of Light, "a holiday purportedly celebrated on 33 planets," according to AOL. And New Zealand officials released 2,000 pages of UFO documents going back 60 years. The UN made waves when it was reported that the powers-that-be were considering announcing an alien ambassador to coordinate earth's response to any visitation. At the same time as the UFO meme was gathering steam, America's NASA space agency was embarked on what we saw as public relationships campaign designed to counteract the ever-swelling chorus of doubters who argue that NASA never landed men on the moon but only provided faked footage of the event. These doubters mustered an increasingly large array of arguments in 2010, everything from the impossibility of traveling through the Van Allen radiation belt to the difficulty generally of traveling 500,000 miles at a clip when the previous distance travelled amounted to nearer to 500 miles, pre-apollo. The Bell has written about the issue numerous times (once discovering it) because the anomalies are certainly startling. Begin with the oddness of NASA announcing it had lost the original footage of the Apollo moon landings and then subsequently discovering it had not lost all the footage after all and releasing said footage in a digitally remastered version. Then there was the widely reported piece of petrified wood found among the "moon rocks" that spacemen had returned from the surface of the moon. NASA had no comment, nor any explanation. There were issues raised once again about the amazing frequency of the photos taken by the astronauts perhaps one picture every 30 seconds; and further arguments over whether the cameras themselves were capable of the feats ascribed to them. Youtube itself continues to fill up with videos purporting to analyze a variety of questionable issues regarding the moon walks, everything from false shadows to false photo angles. And as noted at the Bell, the initial press conference after the first moon landing featured Neil Armstrong surely ranks as one of the most bizarre spectacles ever committed to film. For the Bell, the presentations of the aliens-among-us meme contrasted well with NASA's increasingly fervent rebuttals of man-on-themoon skeptics. (Rebuttal-of-the-rebuttals now seemingly number a thousand items or more, a massive amount of point-by-point controversy for those following the debate.) While both of these issues might be considered frivolous to sober-minded people, they do tend to show how the Internet itself has changed the context of reporting on such events. It is the Internet that allows us to put together 100 years of expanding reporting about UFOs. Much of it, as we have reported previously, seems to smack of orchestration. Could it be that the Anglo-American power elite, which uses fear-based promotions to generate increased global governance, intends to put alien contacts into the service of the New World Order? On the flip-side, NASA's increasingly shrill insistence that the moon-landings took place is in keeping with larger government memes regarding the competence of government programs in general. Big science is heralded as the wave of the future and NASA which apparently managed to put a man on the moon only a decade after John Kennedy enunciated the goal is a prime example of a bureaucracy that exhibits the can-do spirit near and dear to American hearts. Conclusion: It is perhaps ironic that the Internet has cast both these issues NASA's moon landings and UFO contacts in a new light. UFOs may never be scientifically proven (or not in this era); NASA's moon landings were supposed to have been science's ultimate 20th century success-story; yet in our view it is the Internet (never predicted by science fiction) that may prove to be the most profound achievement.
