The Obvious Use of the Cornerstone in Certain Top 40 Song Lyrics

THE OBVIOUS #1) ‘GRAVITY hurts. FALLING from cloud 9′ (Wide Awake, by Katy Perry)
THE OBVIOUS #2) ‘Bury me UPSIDE DOWN’ (Cherokee, by Cat Power)
THE OBVIOUS #3) ‘I met Jane at the CENTER OF THE EARTH’ (The Devil In The Wishing Well, by Five for Fighting)

The practices and activities seen upon what only Angels would consider the Earth Below ironically include the continued metaphorical use of the Bible’s ‘Cornerstone’ throughout the mainly talentless pop culture of 21st century America. Although few really know about the Eye Below Pyramid symbolism inherent in Biblical concepts such as the Cornerstone, this centuries-old leading metaphor continues to profoundly influence today’s ‘culture’. The absolute match between the Eye Below the Pyramid and the following Song lyrics needs no further explanation:

Wouldn’t dive IN, wouldn’t bow DOWN…GRAVITY hurts. FALLING from cloud 9…

– Wide Awake, by Katy Perry

Bury me UPSIDE DOWN Cherokee, kissing me, when I’m on my way DOWN.

You’ll meet the devil at the BOTTOM of a wishing well. I met Jane at the CENTER OF THE EARTH. It was dark there was dirt all around, but I gather you can figure that

Words Worth Remembering

Should We fear Evil in the Heavens Above Looking DOWN at Us on the Earth Below?

______________________________

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against Principalities, against Powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in HIGH PLACES.

– Ephesians 6:12 King James Version (KJV)

An objective analysis of the terminology this particular New Testament Letter clearly displays means that the author Saint Paul is on Biblical record admitting he is AGAINST, not FOR, these Angelic upper level spiritual forces of ‘wickedness’ (evil). This same passage also appears to be locating the enemy of mankind as being Above their heads, rather than Below their feet.

In addition, one would think the most logical way to defend against these ‘rulers of darkness’ would be to set up celestial strongholds somewhere deep down in the Earth Below (Sheol) where the evil grasp and lustful gazes of any wicked Heavenly forces could not reach them. Let me repeat that again- Heavenly evil…

That’s right, Evil from the Heavens Above and not from the Earth Below. The full implications of this Biblical passage appear to quite  ‘Earth-shattering’ indeed.

+ To be AGAINST those in Heaven Above is to be FOR and/or WITH those fighting back in the Earth Below +

Against spiritual wickedness in high places. – King James Version (KJV)
Against spiritual wickedness in high places. – 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)
Against the spirits of wickedness in the high places. – Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)
Against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the Heavenly places. – New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Against the wicked spiritual forces in the Heavenly world. – Good News Translation (GNT)

While there may be at least some superstitious believers who, on principle, would automatically oppose this sort of Judeo/Christian thinking, the words in Ephesians 6:12 are not ever going to change from ‘Heavenly places’ (obviously located above) or the even more specific ‘high places’, into the more traditional locations of ‘wickedness’ and ‘evil’ deep within the earth below. The specific choice of words in this New Testament passage is indeed quite spiritually unsettling, but there appears to be nothing believers can do about it.

Keep in mind, that over the centuries, more than a few Judeo/Christian theologians have claimed that, instead of the hot, volcanic interior of Earth being the physical archetype for the burning flames of Hell, it was, in fact, the Sun where those condemned to Hell were located (both spiritually and physically). Once again, this may well mean that the phrase ‘spirits of wickedness in HIGH PLACES’ should be taken literally, due to the fact it quite accurately describes how humans perceive the Sun (High Above), around which their home Planet known as Earth (Down Below) continues to revolve.

FINAL NOTE ABOUT THE ALL-SEEING EYE OF THE PYRAMID: The opposite of the ‘high places’ spoken of in Ephesians 6:12 would best be symbolized by the Eye Below the pyramid, not the Eye Above it, way up high in the sky, where only the Angels can ever tread.

The One Dollar Star of David

Did you know the Star of David is pictured on the back of every U.S. One Dollar Bill?

Star of David made up of 13 miniature five-pointed stars

Curiously, the Great Seal of the United States appears to contain an image of a Star of David, consisting of 13 smaller American Stars symbolizing the 13 original colonies, above the eagle’s head.

– Star of David, Bigpedia, bigpeida.com

It’s not clear what the hexagram meant at the time of the American Revolution, so to attribute some intended national symbolism to it based on today’s meaning is mere speculation. The hexagram shape of the constellation of stars on the Great Seal may have simply been a rearrangement of the 13 stars on the first American flag.

Star of David = Jesus Christ = Morning Star = Star of David

I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the Churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.

– Revelation 22:16

THE DOWNWARD TRIANGLE: the Root…of David
THE UPWARD TRIANGLE: the Offspring of David
BOTH TRIANGLES AS ONE: the bright Morning Star
__________________________________________

* Five Proofs that Jesus Christ = Morning Star of David *

WWW.PROOF #1) In Revelation 22:16, we see [Jesus] Himself claiming that He is the very “Star of David” Himself, by stating that I am the Root and the Offspring of David THE BRIGHT AND MORNING STAR. If He is the Morning Star and offspring of David then by definition he Himself is the “Star of David.” (The Star of David Attack, by Rabbi/Brother Moshe Yoseph Koniuchowsky, Yourarmstoisrael.org)

WWW.PROOF #2) Yeshua [Jesus] said, “I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright and morning star.” Perhaps, just perhaps, the Star of David represents not only Israel and the Jewish people, but even the Messiah Yeshua (Jesus Christ).(IS THE STAR OF DAVID KOSHER? Rick Chaimberlin, hemaemet.org)

WWW.PROOF #3) The star is made up of equilateral triangles representing the trinity, three equal sides, one triangle.. One is pointing to heaven, the other to earth, representing the God of heaven and earth…Messiah Yeshua [Jesus] is the Star of David, the Star of Jacob, the bright and morning Star. (What is the Star of David? by thereistruth, Christianityboard.com)

WWW.PROOF #4) Ruth quotes: ‘I Jesus…am the root and the offspring of David, [and] the bright and morning star’. IS THIS NOT THE STAR OF DAVID…wonderful insight…with further reflection, it appears that Jesus is the Star of David……. (Hebrew and the Star of David, Heaven Awaits, heavenawawaits.wordpress.com)

WWW.PROOF #5) The Star of David is an exciting and vivid reminder of our future when we will be like Him [Jesus Christ], shining in that day when we see Him, as He really is, the bright and Morning Star of David Gilyahna/Revelation 22:16. (The Star of David Attack, by Rabbi/Brother Moshe Yoseph Koniuchowsky, Yourarmstoisrael.org)

THE CATHOLIC BELIEF: The six-pointed star is the emblem of the Royal House of David even to this day. Christ Who is born of the House of David, can truly claim this emblem as His own. (Star of David, JESSE TREE SYMBOLS. Ewtn.com)

I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the Churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.

– Revelation 22:16

THE CONCLUSION: Revelation 22:16 is a direct Biblical reference to the six-pointed Star of David as the primary symbol of the Morning Star, Jesus Christ. The passage’s specific location at the very end of the very last Book in the Christian is no coincidence. Basically, the last thing that Jesus Christ has to say to billions of his followers even today, at the very end of the very last book in the Judeo/Christian Bible, is that He is ‘the bright Morning Star’ (Lucifer in Latin).

I, Jesus Christ, am Lucifer…

– Common Sense Bible

I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.

– Revelation 22:16

‘I, Jesus…am the Root…of David‘ = DOWNWARD TRIANGLE
‘I, Jesus…am…the Offspring of David‘  = UPWARD TRIANGLE
‘I, Jesus…am…the bright, Morning Star.’ = BOTH TRIANGLES TOGETHER

DOWNWARD TRIANGLE: Roots grow downward towards the bottom
UPWARD TRIANGLE: Offspring, just like tree branches, grow outward and upwards reaching forwards into both time and space.
THE UNITY OF BOTH TRIANGLES: Without any Roots, a Tree would eventually fall over, while without any Branches, a tree wouldn’t get any sunlight, causing them to starve to death. Both roots and branches are necessary simply for a tree to stay alive. The Star of David best represents this reality of both Roots and Braaches (Offspring) together as one unit for the benefit of all.- with Heaven and Earth combined as one, from now to forevermore.

>– Root…of David + Offspring of David = Bright, Morning Star –<

THE BIBLICAL QUOTE: So we have the prophetic word confirmed, to which you should pay attention to as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the Morning Star arises in your hearts. (2 Peter 1:19)

THE CONCLUSION: Given that, in his 2nd New Testament Letter, the Apostle Peter is calling Jesus ‘the Morning Star’, and also that Revelation 22:16 translates best translates into English as  direct Biblical reference to Jesus Christ being the ‘bright  Morning Star’. This inevitably means that, by definition, Jesus Christ is Lucifer, and not Satan. This equality also proves true mathematically:

IF: Jeus Christ = Morning Star
IF: Lucifer = Morning Star
THEN: Morning Star = Morning Star
THEREFORE: Jesus Christ = Lucifer
________________________

Put bluntly, if Lucifer is the correct Latin translation for ‘Morning Star’, and if the Bible identifies Jesus as the Morning Star at least twice and possibly three times in the New Testament, then, all things being equal, Jesus Christ is ‘Lucifer’. It’s just that simple. Nothing else makes as much common sense and that is probably why there has been so many long centuries of total ignorance and confusion over the Devil’s real name, because it sure isn’t Lucifer. It may well also be because the Devil truly loves and thrives upon the confusion of true believers, just as he completely despises, and immediately tries to destroy, any sort of common sense on the issue of who he really is- as do many Christians who still hysterically insist they would rather ignore the fundamental linguistic/mathematical truth about the issue, and continue believing in a comfortable lie…

The Capstone, the Cornerstone, and the Keystone are Three Different Types of Rock

Capstone
cap·stone [ káp st-n ] cap·stones- Plural (NOUN)
1. Top stone: a stone used at the top of a wall or another structure
2. High point: something considered the highest achievement or most important action in a series of actions

– Encarta World English Dictionary

The Cornerstone (or foundation stone) concept is derived from the first stone set in the construction of a masonry foundation, important since all other stones will be set in reference to this stone, thus determining the position of the entire structure. Over time a Cornerstone became a ceremonial masonry stone, or replica, set in a prominent location on the outside of a building, with an inscription on the stone indicating the construction dates of the building and the names of architect, builder and other significant individuals. The rite of laying a Cornerstone is an important cultural component of eastern architecture and metaphorically in sacred architecture generally.

– Cornerstone, Wikipedia

A Keystone is the wedge-shaped stone piece at the apex of a masonry vault or arch, which is the final piece placed during construction and locks all the stones into position, allowing the arch to bear weight. Although a masonry arch or vault cannot be self-supporting until the Keystone is placed, the Keystone experiences the least stress of any of the [other stones], due to its position at the apex….The term is used figuratively to refer to the central supporting element of a larger structure, such as a theory or an organization, without which the whole structure would collapse. Example: Trade is the Keystone of modern civilization.

– Keystone, Wikipedia

__________________________________

This is just a fairly short post meant to sort out any lingering confusion as to the proper location of what the Bible repeatedly calls the ‘Cornerstone’. That particular location, of course, has been considered to always be Below, rather than Above. Keep in mind that it is the ‘Capstone’, not the ‘Cornerstone’, which happens to be placed in the same general direction as that of the infamous ‘all-seeing eye ball’ floating merrily on top of the American Pharaoh’s slave-built Pyramid.

With that said, it now seems an appropriate time to introduce the concept of a third type of specialized building stone known as a ‘Keystone’, which is, needless to say, very different from either the Capstone or the Cornerstone. A perfect visual example of a ‘Keystone’ can be seen just below, although in the picture it has mistakenly been labeled a ‘Cornerstone’ rather than a ‘Keystone’. In reality, this unfortunate, but understandable, error should rightfully be blamed on the scores of English-speaking Bible scholars and theologians who for years have been misleading their flocks by claiming that a ‘Capstone’, a ‘Cornerstone’, and ‘Keystone’ basically mean the same thing even though they never have and never will.

THE ABOVE IMAGE IS INCORRECT- The Red Arrow is pointing to a ‘Keystone’ NOT a ‘Cornerstone’. As an online authority notes patiently: ‘The Cornerstone refers to the first stone laid in a brick construction, and all other stones or bricks will be laid in reference to this stone. A Keystone, on the other hand, refers to the the usually triangular shaped stone at the top of an arch. They are two very different things.’ (Thread: Cornerstone, Keystone, Forum.Wordreference.com)

This is a Cornerstone, and a fitting representation of the Cross of Christ also fitting in perfectly with the surrounding bricks of stone, yet remaining a unique, distinctly different portion of a building’s foundation.  One could rightfully claim that, even though Rabbi Jesus specialized in woodcraft as a carpenter, rather than stone like a Mason, history has proven beyond the shadow of any doubt, that when it comes to the beauty of architecture, nothing beats an old Church or Cathedral- which is of course a monument dedicated to HIM in particular- the ONLY Son of God.  As they say, they don’t build them like they used to.

See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious Cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who relies on it need never be afraid anymore. (Isaiah 28:16)

That’s sad when one stops to think about it, it really is. Yet, don’t blame the men who still get their hands dirty every day building what the boss tells them to to using either wood (Carpentry) or stone (Masonry). Blame the one with ‘pens’ mightier than ‘swords’ who did nothing but spread lies about the Jewish Carpenter from Nazareth and his good Father from  atop Mt. Sinai.

It’s fairly easy to see how modern history slowly unfolded. They called themselves ‘Masons’ simply so that they could call themselves ‘Free’ with ever attempting to work a hard day’s worth of work even once. What they really wanted was ‘Free’ thinking, ‘Free’ to mock and ridicule the long-haired nobody Jew from Galilee. Why did they ever bother naming after ‘builders’ when they were clearly intent on putting a wrecking ball through all that was good and beautiful, like the Master-Craftsmanship it took to build those ancient Cathedrals and the incredible, celestial music that used to echo throughout their halls and archways.

Thus. at least some of the ‘powers-that-be’ will continue to call themselves ‘Free’ Masons, while not having a clue how to put one brick on top of another. Sure they’re ‘Free’ all right. Yet, even with all of their ‘Freedom’ they have ‘gained’ for themselves and for ‘others’, they still don’t seem to have the true ‘Freedom’ it takes to actually build them just like they used to.
