Four
The
Pattern
Multitudes of money and
time have gone into research of the stars and beyond by many for the six-thousand years of man's
history. Even medical doctors
have gotten into
this research. Doctor Raymond A. Moody, Jr. is one such
person. He says that in all of his studies there has never been
any revelation by
anyone giving forth
the "cartoonist's heaven" or
the flames of hell.
There are no
golden streets or pearly
white gates, no
angels and no
devil. The astronomers of
ancient Babylon were
outstanding in their
research but still supplied no adequate theory for the "why"
of the systematic order of the universe.
Einstein in his speaking on the "natural order of the
universe" spoke as
if he had "feeling [of peering into the divine]". Speaking from the view of the "free
will", Ernst Cassiver says that freewill implies "ordered control
of...actions".2
Our problem in
understanding of universe-time-space is
our being on the inside looking out. We
are unable to back-off and have a look. Further, we have absolutely nothing else to
compare it to--scientifically.3 New
light needs to
be shed on
the subject of the
terrestrial plan. We
need a "guide" to our
thinking.4 Kepler
believed in such a guide--He believed in a
creator-God. It was --------------------

"inconceivable" that the solar system was put forth without a
plan.5 Zeno of
Elea (490 B.C.)
said that the
universe was a
"nest of superimposed places,...all things are in
a place, that place must
itself be in something, and that place
is in another place and so on. "6
You started with a chaotic
irregular cloud of gas and dust,
tumbling and
contracting in the
interstellar night. You
ended with
an elegant, jewel-like
solar system, brightly
illuminated, the
individual planets neatly
spaced out one
from another, everything running like
clockwork.7
Francis Bacon was a
scientific monthly prognosticator from the seventeenth century. He said that
scientific laws were generalizations made from observable
fact. In the scientific realm the prominent
position is held
by "theory". A
scientist without any knowledge
does his best work under the predominance of someone’s theory.8 The
reason for this ignorance
(lack of knowledge)
is a complex universe
on a scale farther than the eye
or any telescope can see, a
solar system and
a universe far
above and beyond our comprehension.9 The universe is so complex from super-space,
"welded to matter, curved in the large, folded up in the subatomic".10 This is
where we begin--"in the dark". The story of the universe, our solar system, and ourselves becomes only one of
many. In a "disk... rippling with
possible futures" we sit here on
our world and look

at all the other possible worlds and wonder "what if things had
been just a little different?"11 As it is we have a sun with nine planets
and thirty-two satellites
the distance across
being eight billion light-years. That
is about one-half
a day in a light-year. On a smaller scale, that we can see for
comparison, make the sun the size of a grapefruit. At this scale the earth is a grain of sand at forty feet, Jupiter
is a cranberry at two-hundred
feet, and the
nearest star is the size of the Sun at two thousand miles.12
So how
do we look at such objects spaced-out and so far away? The
invention of the radio telescope has
brought eternity from afar, with "discern[able] detail" as if looking
at a dime only twenty miles away.l3 The space
craft VOYAGER provided
us with information that
said the outer solar system
was far more
than an uninteresting precess.14
But what
is this process? How was it began
and who was its author? Is there absolute space
or is there a dimensionless point in
which all that has been, all
that is, and all that will be always was?
Or is
there only an
eternal present?15 In looking
at the boundary of what is
observable into that which is beyond us, celestial bodies have been observed
that look quite
different from those immediately around us.l6 Edwin
Hubble said these "island universes" are "rushing away from a
titanic explosion that took place around 15 billion
years ago--the

Big Bang".17 Among these
"billions of galaxies some are as big as three times the
size of our own Milky-Way--a gathering of a hundred thousand stars"18
For
the more closely
you look at
the new map
of the
universe
being built today,
the more you
realize that
what
it discloses is a universe
forming a single,
marvelous machine; all the gears and engines
fit together
beautifully to make a
coherent whole. Everything fits
together,
and our realization of this fact may well be
the
most important insight to
come out of
the new
cosmology.19
Much of
the mystery of
the universe began to unravel when astrophysicists learned
to tell what
was big and
small, what was near
and what was
far. But even
with the development of astronomical distancing, accuracy beyond that of
600 light-years is largely in question.
Part of the revelations made in
space discovery is the
vast numbers of superclusters well structured throughout the
heavens. The odds of all this happening
by chance are less than one in a million.
Much of this material came in to
view with the forty-eight inch
SCHMIDT telescope of Polomar
Observatory. The sharp eye of the Schmidt scope is capable of
photographing the flame of a candle at a distance of 10,000 miles. With such a
magnitude up to 50,000 galaxies have been detected in areas of the universe no
larger than that of the bowl of the Big Dipper.20
One of the pit-falls of such a
finding of size,
number,

and systematic structure
is that it does not easily fall into the evolutionary structure of space-man-time. After all, 15 billion
years is not
enough time for
"chance" to create
the multitude of galaxies,
to reshuffle the
stars into place, and set up
rules for the gravitational forces.
All these findings knock a hole
in the theory of the
"primeval kernel" of energy and
matter that started the whole mess anyway.
A large shadow of doubt exist
in the "fission of galaxies"--there is
a lack of "compelling
phenomena" for justification of theory.21 Evidence says that these
things "do not
happen at random". A handful of laws--natural laws--govern each event.
These laws are evidenced in the laboratory. Understanding these laws compels us to acknowledge the
"supersystematic state" of
the origin of the universe.22
Over the
millennia of Neanderthal
history many have
been impressed by the
creative genius behind
the universe. King Alfonso X of Castle (thirteenth
century) was one such individual. His assessment was that if he had been consulted he would have
come up with something more
simplistic;23 still, others
have had the "flat-earth" mentality and some have applied that same theology to the universe.24 Needless to say
the "shape and structure" of
the whole is bound together by the "gravitational interactions"
of the particles and will remain that
way until ----------------------

it is Dismantled25 (and we know about that: see Chapter Twenty Eight:
The New Heaven and Earth).
Now to
ask, "Is there anything beyond the universe?" Is not
all that is
consumed by the word
"universe"?26 Is there
any legitimacy to
associating physics to
mysticism? Do the laws
of nature give
any valid claim
to the supraNatural?27Are
terms such as
"Geometry" and "Trigonometry" mathematical teems only? Hardly! These
terms are closely associated with ancient religions and will be found
rooted in the Kabalah and the Bible.
They form the
basis for the laws of Astronomy.28
General math and physics teaches us about a three dimensional world, but
in recent history
these subjects have omitted the other world.29 In the study
of ancient mystical history the doctrine of
Pythagorean theology will
be found preserved
in Druid circularity and
ultimately consummated in the Apocalypse of Saint John the Divine.30
The Eastern sages of
Yin-Yang were very perceptive in these matters. They understood the
interconnectedness of the whole of the interstellar universe.31 In other ancient cave histories the mysteries
of the Mithraics have pointed
to "equinoctial and
solstitial points of the zodiac".32 But

does not really
tell us about
the "higher
reality". Labeling and
understanding of the lower material
world yields no insight into the "Absolute",33--but it
is a good place to start!
J. J.
Thomson takes us
beyond the atom
to subatomic structure--"the ultimate
constituents of matter".34 All
this can reduce astronomical theology to that
of the "Steady State
Theory". This theory
says there was
no "Big Bang"
but that "matter is constantly appearing
out of nothing throughout the
universe".35 This
"matter" is, from
star to star,
made of differing
combinations of "quarks" and "liptons". Beginning
with the atom we divide into protons and neutrons, and then into
quarks and leptons. A quark
is something that was not--"they did not exist, and
[had] a time when they were born".36
In studying the quarks
of astronomy you will also get into
numerology. Quarks have six (6)
flavors, and three (3) colors. When you combine
these the yield
is 3x6 - 18. Now that's an
odd number for Biblical Astronomy:
6 - 6 - 6 !
And may the "Force" be with you, too. What force? The force that carries each particle
quark--called
"gluons"--of
which there are eight (8). To further add to your mathematical confusion we find that three
(3) quarks make a neutron or a proton; two (2) quarks make a "meson";
and the gluon is the glue that holds it all together. Now lest we bore you with
further details, the diversification ----------------------

.
of the quark is not yet known, nor is it expected to be in the near
future.37 ‘[I]f you’re
in tune with the universe, a few little quirks in it that aren’t in tune won’t
bother you much.”38
When in 1932 James
Chadwich discovered the neutron, proton, and electron, researchers thought
diversification was complete.
Wrong! Also in
1932 Carl Anderson
found the "positron".39 Another
find was the "neutrinos" .
On 23 February 1987 the earth was
bombed by an
energy "force" surpassing
that of the
Sun. It was neutrinos.
These little fellows
traveled over 170,000 years from Sanduleak--69o202 (5N1987A)
and hit us
at 7:35:35 universal time
(whatever that is). Needless to say
these little fellows were "tantalizingly difficult
to detect". They passed through the earth as if it didn't exist. Possessing no electric charge and no mass, who could find such a
thing?40 Photons are
also massless and travel at the speed of light having been sped along by the
Big Bang in company with photinos, graitinos, and axions.41 Now what in the world, or out of this
world, are you going to do with bucketful’s of neutrinos? They are quite "spooky" little
devils. Spauned by the Big Bang,
neutrinos will pass you like a whiz-kid, and put a virus into your computer
calculations. 'Theys jus too fas to crates a galexy.'42

Another thing
perplexing about these
subatomic particles is their
ability to pass-off
as a "wave"
character. In our physical-visible world
of humanness the
terms "wave" and "
particle" appear to
be "mutually contradictory", but
in the world of
the 'sub' they
can do what ever they please.43 We
are now dealing in the plane of the "Quantum Leap”. Can these small ephemerical fluctuations
gestate and become a full blown galaxy?
Or are we all just so much "stuff as dreams are made of?"44
Thus saith the Lord, the HEAVEN is my throne, and the
EARTH is my footstool: where is the house that ye build
unto me? and where is the place of my rest? (emphasis
mine).45
Well, you
now have Archai’s opinion of
the matter. Note the singularity of the word
HEAVEN. King Solomon
built the first temple
at Jerusalem. During
his dedication speech
he acknowledged that not
only can the
singular heaven could not
contain God, but neither could the "HEAVEN OF HEAVENS" (emphasis
mine).46 In this
"HOLY PLACE" containing
God's "TABERNACLE” is the
"CITY OF GOD" out of which
runs a "RIVER" divided into
“STREAMS"47 --IT IS A
"HEAVENLY CITY".48 Contrarily, Abraham looked for an earthly city (Jerusalem if you please)
where God

is the Lord.49
So if God said it,
Abraham looked for it, and Solomon built it,
how come all
the scientists missed
it? Solomon's temple was "reared to the Divinity" and modeled after "the order of the universe".50 This
universal tabernacle was
not made by hand
as we do things--that fall
apart. Archai's house
is "eternal in the HEAVENS".51 He is the "builder",
"maker", and the one who laid the "foundations".52
Abraham and
his family were
"strangers" and "pilgrims" traversing the
land searching for the unknown
quantity.53 He passed his
desires from generation to generation. When Moses leads Abraham's seed out
of Egypt into the wilderness one
of the first things Archai does
is give Moses the plans for the "tabernacle of the congregation" as a
"testimony" and a "statute" for the rest of that
generation. 54
What God gave to Moses was
to be an "EXAMPLE", "SHADOW", and a "PA'ITERN" of
"HEAVENLY THINGS". From
Strong's Concordance we find these
word meanings: EXAMPLE--exhibit for show as an
imitation to the eyes; SHADOW--adumbration, a
dark shade; PATIN--a die,
stamp, or type.55 Moses is repeatedly
admonished

to both make
and set-up the
tabernacle in accord
with "THE PATTERN" and
the "FASHION" he
was given in the mountain top. A
PATTERN is a
model for a
figure or structure, and FASHION
is divine law, a litigated
rule.56
"[S]scientists...have been astonishingly successful in finding significant PATTERN in the natural world
even when they used no tools other than creative thought" (emphasis mine).57 In this organization of space-man- time it
has been said
that "God made space and
time so that everything wouldn't happen in the same place at the same time.58
The word PATTERN
(tabniyth) is a derivative of banah meaning to make, a builder of children.59 Archai said of Pharoah that he was put in power so that
God might SHEW His own power. The
word SHEW means to indicate from a fixed position in a place, time, and state.60 The tabernacle of Moses was prescribed from
such a position and the pattern thereof is that of the "perfect
tabernacle, not made with hands".61 Thus we are
sure that there exist in the eternal state a tabernacle like the one Moses
built, and the created
heavens follow that
pattern.62 Years later when David was presented the plan for
Solomon's Temple it too was
"a symbolic image
of the universe". The minute
details are manifest in
the numerology of
its structure and
the "astrological symbols" of
its history. It is further
detailed in the words of Ezekiel.63

In researching
the ancient mystics
a strange pattern emerges. The Babylonian pyramidal tower [Magdol] was dedicated to "Father
Bal". It was shaped in seven
stages with differing colors and symbolizing
the seven planetary
spheres. In the Mithriac caves there temples
symbolized the universe and were the habitat of deity.
In Meru we find the seven stages up the mountain to
the "high places". It
soon becomes apparent that all
ancient temples record
the constellations, the
signs of the zodiac,
planet cycles--a complete
"microcosm of the universe".64 Thus,
the tabernacle becomes Archai’s
SIGN between himself and Israel,
that is, to
come, to assent, a sense of appearing.65 It
is a "shadow of good
things to come"--that which is perfect.66 Others, outside the mystic, also perceive a
"shadow universe a split between real matter and the shadow at "Planck time" according to
its own system
of law.67 In another geometrical world of space-man-time some star will die off and
reappear as a new world order.68 In the
mystical realm we observe some of these events as holy-days, and identify with
the new moon cycles, all of which are
but a SHADOW of the future state (shade--adumbration: to outline, give a faint
indication, foreshadow).69 All of these
are very important and the darkness of
the matter will not hinder the outcome of the universe.70

The temple
measurements are the
"utterances of Deity" representing, not only the size
of the world in space-man-time, but
the attributes of
God: i.e., "order
and intelligence". The twelve
columns that supported
the ceiling were images of the celestial signs of the
stars--the Zodiac. The Holy of Holies
was a cube. On the plane surface of the
visible side are nine (9) lines visible (4 + 3 + 2), with three (3) sides or
faces. The numeral four ( 4 )
is that of nature, the nature of corporeal substances and
elements, and of the points of the compass and the four
seasons. The three
(3) is the Trinitarian "Supreme Being”. 72
Astrophysicists have
designed their own Astronomical
Unit (AU). It is for use within our own
Solar System and is about the
distance from the
Earth to the
Sun (93 million
miles). Beyond ourselves the
"dynamics and distribution"
of matter is purely speculation.73
A group
of astronomers led
by Will Saunders,
Oxford, concluded that the far reaching spaces are filled with
multitudes of superclusters with
plenty of void
space in between. This was
accomplished by use of
IRAS--Infrared Astronomy Satellite. They studied 2,163 galaxies
as far-out as
500 million light-years.74 One
giant galaxy called
NGC 1275 has
"about 50 bright globular
clusters--dense spherical knots
of 100,000 to 10 million stars surrounding the center of the galaxy".75

Another astronomical unit is the
PARSEC equal to
about 3.26 light-years. In parallax one PARSEC is about one second
of arc.76 This
is used to
determine star size,
brightness and distance using
the standard of ten PARSECs or 32.6
light- years.77
In the midst of the
tabernacle, representing the universe, is
a big-thick-heavy vail.
It is blue, purple, and
scarlet, and constructed of
fine twined linen
and covered with extraterrestrial creatures called
"cherubims". So, Andrew Thomas
was right: We Are Not
The First.78 This
vail divides the Tabernacle into two separate
sections: the HOLY PLACE and the MOST
HOLY PLACE. In
the MOST HOLY
section is the
ARK of Archai’s testimony
and the MERCY SEAT.79 Outside the MOST HOLY PLACE-before the
vail--is the TABLE
of BREAD to the North, and the
Seven fold Candelabra
to the South.80 This candle
will re-appear in the Book of
the Revelation. Other artifacts
that grace the tabernacle
are the golden
censer, Aaron's rod, and
the big ten. All of
this is given as an earthly FIGURE as a temporary means until the
"time of reformation".81

David said that the
Pattern came to
him by the Agion Pneuma. This pattern divided the Temple into courts, chambers, parlours,
and a treasury. Archai gave this
Pattern, in writing, to David so it
would be completely understood. It was
the same basic PATTERN as
that of Exodus 25:9.82 David
passed these blueprints to
Solomon with all proper instruction to be precise and exact in building
the HOUSE OF
G0D.83 The layout
and measurements were just as
God laid out
the universe.84 This plan
was then the shadow of that universe. "May
be there is even a
shadow you out there somewhere reading a shadow version of this book."85 The
Shmidt telescope at
Palomar has reached
across the shadows
of space to
the fathcxns of
three-billion
light-years, and (in
1953) pinned deVaucaulears. This
is a cluster of tens
of thousands of
galaxies with a
hand-span of 40
million light-years, several
light-years deep, and
as much as 160 to 240 million
light-years in diameter. The
"mass" of this galaxy was the equivalent of a million
billion suns.86 For there to
be so much Sun-light out 'there' why is it so dark? And just what is "dark matter", or what does the
darkness matter? We can clearly see the light but what is there to this
"outer darkness?" Just another
notion of a
theory?87 Well, archaeologist say they can,
out of rock-of-mother-earth, reconstruct our entire history,
although they don't expect to
ever have the picture
puzzle complete. You

can, if you

of Moses and the temple of Solomon 88
So, following the
pattern of the Mosaic and Solomon temple plans we see a real throne and a seat
to the right side. This throne is
in HEAVENLY JERUSALEM,
the city of
the living God on the mountain of SION. This is in the presence of multitudes
of other extraterrestrial
creatures called angels--within the HOLY PLACE. The
earthly figures (antitupon)
were only the representative counterpart, an opposing
die stamp of this actual reality
of HEAVEN.89 This imitation exhibit for the eyes was just
for 'show and tell'--the real heaven was far superior in glory and
purity and can
be entered into
with open boldness through the vail (see
Chapter Eighteen: Ripping The Vail).90 We are
now then in
the surroundings of the TRUE
TABERNACLE of God beyond the
edges of the
universe: we are
in the presence of ultimate Priesthood.91
