What is the nature of the space aliens?  To what life form on earth might we compare them?  Researcher Icke points to numerous Chinese, Mayan, Irish, and Hopi Indian legends that indicate they are serpent-like or dragon-like entities, and that we are descended from them.[1]  Among the oldest civilizations, Egypt worshipped snakes, and China paid homage to dragons.  The ancient near eastern civilizations of Babylon, Canaan, and Israel all spoke of a primordial serpent-like monster of the ocean, which was called Tiamat in Babylon, Yamm in Canaan, and Leviathan in Israel.  Likewise, the most ancient scriptures of India assert that the chief god Indra is associated with serpentine shape shifters, and the second most important god, Agni, is called a "raging serpent."[2]  The god of India to whom most devotion is paid, namely Krishna, had this to say about himself:

 

Among serpents, I am the serpent that lasts forever.[3]

 

The more knowledgeable and occult minds among the ancient Greeks also paid homage to serpent-gods, such as Asclepius.  The Peratic Gnostics believed that Jesus Christ was a serpent-god,[4] and the Naas, another Gnostic group, believed an omniscient serpent watches over us from above.  Specifically, Hippolytus had this to say about their beliefs:

 

They think that the serpent dragon is situated at the North Pole looking down on everything.[5]

 

Something Wicked from the North

     This idea that something wicked is hovering around the North Pole echoes through the ages down to the present.  Meyer points out that the official flag of the United Nations is a view of the globe from a region of space above the North Pole looking down, and relates it to the Biblical Prophet Isaiah, who said that Lucifer also exalts himself to lofty positions in the north.[6] [7] 

     The 1^st century Christian leader Elchasai believed that war rages among the evil angels of the northern stars, and therefore immoral nations are in a state of confusion.[8]  This is echoed in 2^nd Enoch, from about the same time, which states that there is a hell of black fire in the heavens of the north, and a bunch of witches, vampires, and pedophiles dwell there in torment.[9]

     The Prophet Zarathustra was also informed of an evil entity that comes from northern climes, as the holy texts of the Zoroastrians record:

 

The Lord of Wisdom said, "Listen Spitama Zarathustra; the liar Nasu attacks dead bodies as soon as the soul leaves after death.  Nasu comes from the north, in the image of a filthy fly…"[10]  Die you liar!  Go back to the north and die!  And don't come back!  You bring death to the living realm of the Holy Spirit![11]

 

This quote is actually part of an exorcism ritual for expelling this demonic northern entity.[12]

 

Serpent Messiah

     Snakes in the Bible are both evil and good.  Pharaoh had evil snakes, but Moses had a good snake.[13]  Poisonous snakes killed the Israelites in the desert, but a bronze snake named Nehushtan saved them.[14]  Jesus claimed to be that bronze snake.[15]  Interestingly, that same bronze snake was destroyed by King Hezekiah,[16] who had also allowed the Jerusalem temple priests to take over the nation.[17]  Hezekiah also tore down the altars of Yahweh and made an unholy alliance with Babylon, upon which the Prophet Isaiah placed a prophetic curse.[18]  Hence Hezekiah was a type of antichrist who brought the wrath of God upon the Israelite nation.  Such was his penalty for destroying the snake-god Nehushtan, for Nehushtan was a prototype of Christ.

 

Jesus, Lucifer, and the 888 Prophecy

     Jesus and Lucifer are actually both snakes.  According to the Hebrew numerological system, the word mashiach, which means "Messiah," calculates to 358, as does also the Hebrew word nachash which means "snake" or "serpent."  Nachash is used in Genesis for the snake in the Garden of Eden, and nachash is also used for the snake in the wilderness that represented Jesus.  The same was called Nehushtan, which is akin to the Hebrew words nechash and nechosheth meaning "bronze" or "shiny."  Heiser takes this to mean that the entity which deceived Adam and Eve was not really a serpent, but a luminous shining being.[19]  If this view is accepted, then it provides the basis for calling Satan the Devil by the name of Lucifer, for the name Lucifer is derived from two Latin words – luci is the possessive of lux, meaning "light," and fer is the root of the verb ferere, meaning "to carry;" hence, Lucifer is a shining one, a nechash, because he is the "Carrier of Light."  Serpents are symbols of knowledge because they bring light – they illuminate.

     According to the English numerological system by increments of 6, whereby A= 6, B=12, C=18, etc, the number of the name of Jesus is 444, and the number of the name of Lucifer is also 444.  Hence, Jesus = Lucifer.  Both are shining serpentine beings, and both have at one time or another been bringers of light.  Not that they are the same entity, but rather they are the same or similar species.

     In Jesus' last words of the New Testament, he said, "I am that bright morning star,"[20] which hearkens back to Isaiah, where it is written, "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!"[21]  The Hebrew here for "Lucifer" is hilel ben shaker, which refers to the bright morning star, Venus.  Hence, Jesus is that bright morning star, the son of the morning, symbolically Venus, and he is called by this name because he is the carrier of light.  Jesus replaces the first carrier of light who fell from grace, and thus Jesus is the new Lucifer.

     This is further borne out by the fact that when 444 and 444 are added together, that is Jesus and Lucifer being added together, the sum is 888.  888 is the number of the name of Jesus according to the Greek system of numerology.  Hence, Jesus + Lucifer = Jesus, 444 + 444 = 888; which ironically also means that Lucifer mathematically is a zero, a looser, if the equation is changed to Jesus + looser = Jesus, that is 888 + 0 = 888.  This makes sense because Lucifer fell from grace, and so he is counted as a zero, a looser. 

     The forces that make crop circles have signaled that 888 is a holy number.  A crop circle in the shape of an "8" appeared on August 8, 2008, that is 08/08/08, over Wiltshire England.[22]  From the pictures, you can tell it was not made by plank and string; rather, the vegetation was whirled and twisted together, and laid down flat without breaking the stock.  This is the sign of a true crop circle, because it is impossible for hoaxers to duplicate.  On the same day, 08/08/08, a beneficial event happened to me that enabled me to establish the continuous promotion of the ideas written in this book, as well as other good things.  This was not by my own design, but the particular day was chosen by a power other than myself.

     It is well documented that 888 has always been the number of the name of Jesus.  For example, Hippolytus stated "888 is the number of Jesus,"[23] and Irenaeus likewise "This is the name of Jesus:  If you count up the numerical value of the letters you get 888."[24]  If seeking Biblical confirmation, one may look to the book of Revelation, since it also implies that Jesus is 888.  The chronology of Revelation is as follows:  The beast, 666, is followed by the wrath of the apocalypse, which in Revelation is 7 trumpets, 7 plagues, and 7 bowls of wrath, 777, and this is followed by the triumphant second coming of Jesus, 888, who then says "I am the bright morning star," which is Lucifer, 444, and when added to himself, who is also 444, the sum is 888.  And so there is a numerological pattern to Revelation.   

     The actual calculation of the number of the name of Jesus is as follows:  The Greek letters of his name, IESOUS, carry the values 10 for Iota, 8 for Eta, 200 for Sigma, 70 for Omikron, 400 for Upsilon, and 200 for Sigma, which when added together total 888. 

     Numerology is by no means arbitrary, for the values of the letters do not change from word to word, but stay constant; thus, there are most certainly a very limited number of interpretations for any given word.

     Moreover, the number 888 is borne out by an Old Testament prophecy that foreshadowed Jesus long before his coming.  The famous prophecy that Judah would continue its government until Shiloh came, that is, until the kingdom of Judah came to whom it belonged,[25] has traditionally been interpreted to be a prophecy that when Jesus came, the nation of Judah would cease to exist – a fact which actually happened in history, because shortly after Jesus came, the Jewish nation was abolished by the Roman Empire.  The Hebrew word Shiloh calculates to 345.  When combined with the Holy Name of God which was spoken through the burning bush to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM,"[26] which calculates to 543, these two added together are 888.  Jesus claimed to be the I AM of that statement,[27] and so it too is traditionally interpreted to be a foreshadowing of him.  The calculations are as follows:  Shiloh in Hebrew letters is SYLH, which carry the numbers 300 for Shin, 10 for Yod, 30 for Lamed, and 5 for Heh – these added together are 345.  I AM WHO I AM in Hebrew is AHYH ASR AHYH.  Aleph is 1 and Reish is 200.  Hence, we have AHYH 1+5+10+5 and ASR 1+300+200 and AHYH 1+5+10+5, which is 21+501+21 = 543.  Thus, when I AM WHO I AM is added to Shiloh, which symbolically means that when the Unfathomable God becomes king of the Jewish nation in the form of the Messiah, then his numerological equation will be 543+345 = 888, that is, I AM WHO I AM + Shiloh = Jesus.  Hence, this numerological prophecy of the Old Testament confirms that Jesus is the Messiah.

 

888, when turned on its side, is three infinity symbols, which symbolizes the infinity of the Holy Trinity.
