Armageddon

Paul Solomon Reading #9366 - RP - 0134 - GR - SH - SC, VB, 01/21/91

Yes, there are gathered here the witnesses and the powers of creation and of life on
this planet. You have called the witnesses, and the witnesses have assembled.

And we would begin reading from these records by mentioning the Hermetic Law that is
"as above, so below," which we mention for the reason that the great battle to which you
refer, the battle of Armageddon, is a battle between Light and Darkness, not confined
even to this planet, but to the entire system which you would refer to as your solar
system in which the sight itself is the cathedral of light and this planet manger. And in
that perspective, know that the spiritual forces of Light battling Darkness are far greater
than you can see, the more meaningful than the gathering of armies, however powerful,
and however disposed against one another in the flesh.

At the same time we point out that that which manifests in the spiritual, that above, is
also reflected in that which is below, or that which is material. And in that light we would
answer a very certain YES, that this is an initial phase of the war of Armageddon as it
manifests itself in the shadow of the real. By the shadow of the real we means that the
physical manifestation of that which occurs in the spiritual or in the heavens is out
manifesting as a war between men. In the sense that you ask the question "is this the
literal battle of Armageddon," the war of Armageddon, then the answer is: what you see
before you being played between the forces of nations with armies in the physical is a
physical reflection of the spiritual war which is already begun, and has been for the time
since the prophecy was given. And specifically since the time of the appearance of
Christ as Jesus of Nazareth as he ascended the earth and left to every man
responsibility to become the Christ as he is the Christ...in the moment He ascended, the
war began.

And though we do confirm that the alignment of forces that you are seeing in that place
in the middle east, gathered around the plains of Megiddo, is in fact a physical out
manifestation of the spiritual battle we would carefully point to you that this is only the
smallest manifestation of this war. A far greater battle is raging, far more dangerous.
That is the battle of man against the host planet, the Mother. A far more serious war is
the war of man asserting his will over nature, to manipulate nature to his purposes
rather than harmonizing with the forces of growth, which are the manifestation of the
Living One on this planet. Far more serious than the array of guns and tanks is the array
of man's consciousness divided within himself, and out manifesting as his attempt to
manipulate the world around him, believing that a man himself might better control his
destiny, than would his Lord, his God. And to the extent that any man would give over
the control of his destiny to the source of his life, the Christ, to that extent one is lifted
beyond the attempts to manipulate the environment and will understand that left as it is
intended, this earth will provide all your needs.

And when in the egotistical nature of man, man attempts to control weather, climate,
and balances of nature, denaturing the surface of the planet so you are involved in the
battle of the forces of the heavens, the heavenly system, and mankind becomes rather
than a guest on the planet of his mother, becomes a parasite on the body of the mother.

This is a far greater war than that fought by petty despots or a loose coalition of self-
righteous nations. Then this war fought with missiles and guns is a small portion, and
one battle, but it is in fact the sounding of the trumpet for the beginning of the
orchestrated action of Armageddon as it would appear in the physical. But do be careful
to remember the words of the Master as he spoke and said, 'what you see in the
physical is like seeing the movement of leaves on trees. But what you do not see is the
wind that moves the leaves.' And so when you see the tanks and armor and guns you
are seeing the movement of the leaves. But the real battle is in the air, not among
missiles but in the air in the sense of being in the subtler dimension of heaven within
you and between you/about you.

And whatever man will end the war within himself, that man/that woman has joined the
forces of the sons and daughters of light against darkness. And your love musts be for
your source from which you came....both in the creative dimension and in the physical
movement of the play itself of earth. And so your source is both from above and from
below. Your source is the creative, the Father, and from the dust below, the Mother. So
you are joined between heaven and earth. And (you should) know the formations that
are given to you even as the diagrams in the Book of the Changes, man stands
between Heaven and Earth. And if you would understand the writing of that one and
those who gathered to create the Book of the Changes, so you would understand the
relationship between heaven broken and heaven aligned, man broken and man aligned,
the earth broken and earth aligned.

In the triad, and in the hexagrams so you will see the forces that fight the battle of
Armageddon. Then expand our consciousness beyond your concern for this current
battle, for it is only an initial battle of the way. And this battle as nearly as can be dated
(knowing that we do not from this dimension dictate the wills of men, yet we see that)
this battle as it rages now will be completed by the seventh month here. But that will
only be the quiet of a moment of the heat of the day, and will resume again with the
beginning of the Winter Solstice.

And yet it will be a different battle, for then the player will not be the nation of Iraq
against a coalition of others, but rather it will begin to involve all nations of that region
and beyond to virtually every nation in the world. And the war itself in the greater sense,
will be fought between this time and the year 2001. And has been spoken by the
prophets before, on May 5, 2001, , you will see a dawning of a new day. It is meant that
this war should come to an end when the Christ is born in the hearts of those who are
able to receive him. And if even 12, 12 women, 12 men stand pure before the Lord and
receive his power, then you will find the power of love and light able to conquer the
forces of darkness, which are powerless against that love. Then you will see the
manifestation of the Christ himself.

And responding to your question, "How will he be seen?" All over the earth, by all men,
all women, all eyes at one time simultaneously. How will this occur? It will occur when
all looking at one another in one another's eyes see the presence of the returned and
victorious Christ, having returned and claimed his Kingdom, for his Kingdom is not of
the earth itself.

The earth already expresses the kingdom of the Christ, but standing between heaven
and earth is man. And the return of the Christ will be in the form of man and womankind.
And he will be seen throughout the earth at one time, by all people when the
consciousness of mankind is lifted to the point that man is no longer ruled by a cleft
brain but by a crown of enlightenment. And so will the earth herself become the woman
enthroned with a crown of stars, and feet resting on the moon.

This then is some small description of the nature of the battle of Armageddon. As to this
beginning, the beginning of hostilities in the middle east you will find that the war has
begun that will involve the nations in what might be called World War III, or the Great
War of Armageddon, and so shall it be a war to end all wars. For there is a rising
consciousness in mankind, a conscience of people who can no longer support the
concept of hostility for the working out of the interface of wills and egos among men.

And those of you who would change the face of this war must learn that love is not
simply passive. Not in the manner of those who protest against war for protesting itself
is a negative activity. But those activists against war who build bonds between men in a
meaningful way, one helping the other....this is love in action. And love passive and
afraid, quiet as a lamb, and withdrawn, will not win a battle. But love alive, in action,
healing, this will win a war. You must learn to make your love alive and active.
Understand it to be as great a force as it is, for there is no force of darkness which can
stand before light. Thus you must shine your light in dark places.

Shining your light in dark places must first mean the dark places within you. Seeing
yourself as you are that you might become what you can be, without fearing what you
have contained within you, to reveal it so that you might be cleansed as a vessel for the
manifestation of Christ. This is the concern of the battle of Armageddon.

The so called 'unconventional weapons' of chemicals, of nuclear warfare, these both will
be brought in this war to action. Not quite so literally as you ask the question from Iraq
to Israel And yet Israel will be the first target of a crude attack, but it will come from the
north, not from the east.

Yet it is in concert with that which is begun now, and is produced in its crudest form by
Iraq in alliance with its neighbor to the north and given rather insidiously into the hands
of the Syrians it will strike. But you must also know that the biological warfare began
before this battle was initiated. For the plague that you have upon you that is Acquired
Immune Deficiency was instigated by experiments of biological warfare gone awry in
Africa. And this nation played party to the development of it. For that reason to allow the
truth to be known would be destabilizing to this government. We say this so that you

© 2007 The Paul Solomon Foundation Page 3

might know that biological warfare has already been unleashed upon man and will
again. And nuclear devices, not such as would be destructive to the entire planet, but
weapons of mass destruction will be used before this war is ended.

Iraq will soon become a rather minor player in this war. For as that one who dictates to
that country disappears, and that will not be long…..just as soon another will stand in
his place to become the champion of what they hypocritically refer to as the leaders of
Islam. Another will stand to attempt to take power in his place.

Let no man be persuaded that the religion of Islam is Anti-Christ by nature. Yet those
who attempt to manipulate Muslim countries against the Christian and Jewish World,
these men are the Anti-Christ. And responding to your question "Is Saddam Hussein the
Anti-Christ?" He is an Anti-Christ, but only a minor player. For the Anti-Christ who is the
absolute embodiment of darkness will appear. But he will appear as an angel of light,
and many among you will be confused, for he will first appear to be a savior in the
Middle East. But having gained power and favor he will become then power mad, drunk
with power.

And take the lesson, if you will, from the approach of the prophet Edgar Cayce. (When)
he saw the earlier days of Hitler's rise to power he saw him as a positive force. It is not
that the prophet Cayce was incorrect at that moment, but power quickly corrupted, and
paranoia quickly set in. And a man who intended to be a savior was lead by his ego into
the embodiment of the Anti-Christ. And so it will occur again.

So watch not for those who swagger and boast, and are too obviously forces of evil. For
the Anti-Christ is far too clever, and will appear first as a savior. Be not swayed by
everyone who come in robes of light.

Q. Why is man so fascinated by war instead of peace?

Man is fascinated by war because he is divided against himself. This race began with a
brain that is a single unit. That unit was not for the purpose of creating thought. It was
not for the purpose of expanding man's ability to relate to the world around him. It is
quite the opposite. The brain is not an instrument to extend man's consciousness into
the sensory world around him. It is instead a filter, if you will, a condenser for the
purpose of taking the magnitude of what is happening around you and reducing it to a
level of tolerance, which the physical body can manage.

Thus the brain of man is a reducer, not an expander of consciousness. And it has
become separated upon itself as man confused his national logic with his intuitive mind
and began to argue within himself, stepping from the androgenous being, single minded
with single purpose, an extension of the Christ, to the time of the fall when man sought
to see himself as separate, individualist and became a champion of free will and
separation from God, so did his brain separate one part from the other.

© 2007 The Paul Solomon Foundation Page 4

It has been his very nature from that day until this, except for those who learn to join
those hemispheres by creating what you might call "neurons" or passageways of light,
electricity of thought, of communication of one side of the brain to the other, and not
only integrating one side of the brain with the other but transcending it with creating a
cap, a crown of enlightenment as is symbolized by the crowns, the caps, the skullcaps,
the yarmulke, and that worm by Islam as well, of several nations that symbolize the
desire within the heart of man to unify the brain again.

For man's true mind is not located in the brain, or even resting on the brain, but even
resting in his center, and is closest to the heart. The heart as well is not a pump, as
would seem, but is responsive. And it is in the heart of man, only in the heart of man,
that blood not only is not pumped by that organ, but in that organ blood stands still for a
moment. And in that standing still, that quiet, that tiny death in every breath, this is the
stillness that is the reason of that the ancients have spoken of the Christ coming into the
heart of man, not the brain. But in that opening of the gateway this is the heart so a man
has access to the higher world and the crown of enlightenment that man finally receives
at the mountain top, which is the crown of man, the aura which radiates above his head,
so man can be joined to his source from above of light, and linked as well to the Mother
below through his feet.

And a part of the condition of separation on man is the attempt of man to separate
himself from the earth out of fear, separating himself by all means, whether of concrete
or steel or glass or brick. So afraid to put his feet into the earth, his Mother, afraid that
he might be joined to her again, and so even the bodies are buried in vaults in your
attempt to keep from the Mother what she gave to you. There is much conflict in the
mind and the heart of man, and until that is ended in individuals even a dozen or so,
and it would not be the first time in history that a dozen have changed the path of
mankind in his course. Let there be a dozen among you who through absolute purity will
rejoin themselves with the Heaven above and the Earth below, and stand in between as
one joined, as in the lines of the hexagram in which all lines are unbroken (Heaven #1),
there is peace and power in Heaven and Earth and man joined together in one unit.
Then man will not be fascinated by war, but will learn from a true love that is not the
attempt to satisfy his appetites to accomplish this. But a love that is giving from one to
the other without fear that the other will take advantage.

All these steps in growth must be accomplished that you find even one body in which
the Christ might manifest alive and complete. And that body would have no identity of its
own, would only be a vessel, a vehicle of the Christ. And so would that man be as much
the Christ as Jesus himself. And if that could be accomplished in two of you, then there
would be two on earth as powerful as the Christ has ever been, whether in Jesus or
other manifestation. And if there be two Christs on earth, then it would change the
consciousness of the planet. If there be three, you will join the greatest portion of this
planet to its source. And if there be four, then, you will have joined the four cardinal
directions into one single point in the center of this solar system. And if it be five or six
or finally twelve, only twelve are required to lift the consciousness of man beyond even

© 2007 The Paul Solomon Foundation Page 5

the nature of this planet so that the imbalanced movement of the planet would be
corrected, its relationship to other bodies in the celestial systems would be changed.

And you would see those phenomenon that are referred to as the stellar events, as if
the stars have fallen, the moon turned to dripping blood, the earth renewed and
wrapped in a robe of light, shining to rejoin the sun. These things may be difficult to
visualize or even to understand, and even frightening if you knew their implications. But
it will come that as a result of the war that is being fought this day, this planet earth will
be so destabilized that virtually every mountain and valley, every sea will be changed in
its geographical nature quite literally. Earthquakes as have been prophesied since the
beginning of time will change the face of the earth. But all this is the labor pains for the
birth of a new Eden on earth. And then you will know that mankind would never have
appeared on this planet were not the planet sufficient to his every need to live to
survive.

And so it shall be again, when all that is false, all that is manipulated and denatured
about the face of the earth, be broken down and return to the earth....then shall Eden
bloom again, and man live in harmony and there shall be no more war. And there will
not be a dark side and light side of earth, even in the literal sense. For light will shine on
every side. There will be no more night, nor need of sleep. Sleep is not needed when
the brain is not BI-cameral. Then when these thing are healed, man becomes whole,
then shall we find a new Heaven and a new Earth established.

#3, 4: Israel will not only survive but be victorious. That itself will be miraculous among
men for this tiny nation shall have stood against the whole world, even this nation.

As to the alignment, the multinational force, this is rather a fabrication even at this time,
and the fabric is unraveling even at this moment. It does not require that the Arab
nations align against it. Yes, they will be brought into it, but will be fairly insignificant.
There will be lukewarm fighting from Jordan. There is little choice there. There will be
some attempt to rebuild herself selfishly by Iran, and so will be a part of the war. And so
will others of the so-called Arab block, or Arab league become involved against Israel.
But (it will be) not so solidly as if it were one people against another, for this is an
illusion. They are not all one race, not all of one background. And if you could see the
lineage you would see that many of those who are now considered Arabs or
Palestinians have much more of the blood of Abraham than those that have come from
Europe and other countries, tracing their lineage to be Jewish but having not the facial
features or characteristics of Jews which are naturally very much like those of the mid-
east, for they are cousins.

Thus, it is not a matter of what is called race or nationality...or the Jews are not of a
different race from the human race. Nor are the Arabs the natural enemies of the Jews.
But these cousins who were brothers, will actually stand together at a time when Israel
will expand her boundaries to become the breadbasket to feed the rest of the world.
And virtually the rest of the world will have such climactic changes and droughts and
famine that you will crawl to what was once a tiny country, but what will be larger, the

© 2007 The Paul Solomon Foundation Page 6

gathering together of the people of light in Palestine, and expansion of Israel which will
be victorious.

Yes, nuclear arms will be used against her. And she will return in kind. You will see the
plumes of fire and smoke that are spoken of in the revelation. You will see this coming
out of this war, but not in this next 6 months or so. We have referred to the ending of the
initial battle coming in the heat of the summer. But it will return to battle in the winter and
will continue for another 20 years.

So in all of these battles which are a part of the great war, you will see all of these
things used, and not the least of them biological. Then it is necessary that you learn
new habits, new lifestyles that do not depend upon the pollution of major sources of
your water, your air and food. You must become much more dependent upon that
grown under cover, whether of plastic or of glass; that which can be grown in your own
homes (as sprouts, and such), and the purification of water, all of these things.

And as far as safe places, always look to the mountains, not the young mountains of
earth which are high and dangerous but to the oldest of the mountains and the valleys
between them. This is not to suggest that you at this time (should) flee to the mountains.
You will see many more changes before it is time to get yourself to a high place. Be not
overcome by fear, dread, or concern. Be not motivated by this in any of your
movements. The safest place on earth is where God has sent you. And if that is to the
plains of Megiddo, then go without fear. And if it is on the coastline of Virginia, then be
there without fear, and if it be in the midst of California, then go there without fear,
carrying the message of the Christ. And so shall you be safe as a physical body can be
on this earth during these times of change.

#8: John of Peniel already plays a greater role than you might guess. He is an influence
behind the diplomacy that exists, and which has kept Israel from responding thus far.
Single-handedly John of Peniel has stayed the hand of Israel to this point.

He will, however, become a leader of light only when that one to whom we have
referred who appears as a savior (antichrist) when he appears, John also will appear as
his adversary But it will be difficult for you to know at first the one from the other. But
perhaps the greatest test of which is John, will be his opening of the Hall of Records
and revealing to you the ages past, the earth before this earth, the time that gave birth
to this civilization that one who came from Emelius to Adam, and whose son was John,
who returned to be the beloved, was Benjamin with Joseph; this one has returned and
becomes one who will help the establishment of a kingdom of peace over which the
Christ will reign.

As to when he shall appear, understand that reading from these records does not allow
us to dictate when Israel will act, when Jordan or Syria or Iraq will act. Nor can we
dictate when the United States will act. We can only read the disposition of these toward
action, and tell you what we see in the records of the result of the action. We do not
attempt to orchestrate these events, rather only to read them. And John will make

© 2007 The Paul Solomon Foundation Page 7

himself known sometime after the 2nd battle has begun to rage. That will be after the
coming year. And he will be seven years in making himself known about the earth to the
extent that he will be considered a figure of international import.

`#10: Diplomatic and spiritual strategy you can apply must be this: you have far to go in
your understanding of love and light as a force. For your thinking about it has been as if
it were passive, yin, a non force. You must understand it as an applicable energy, that is
stronger than atomic or nuclear power. For it is the power which provided that energy
which is used against itself to provide nuclear fission. Love itself might best be
compared with nuclear fusion. It is not a passive force, but is a creative force.

Then train your hearts that they may build step by step, stone by stone a temple to
house the spirit of the Christ, who is more powerful than the anti-Christ. As long as any
one of you believes that by the force of "anti-anything" you can overcome love, which
joins to conquer rather than divides to conquer; when you learn to use the mighty power
of the swords of angels, those swords which were so appropriately depicted as light
sabers in your entertainment media, these are a closer understanding of the nature of
the swords of angels, for they reach light into dark places and reveal truth.

Now when you can do that, you will understand that there is massive confusion, even
now reigning, as to who is the enemy. For it is not the Arab or Muslim world against the
Jews and Christians.

It is rather light against darkness. And there is no more light in this land than in the east.
Nor is there more darkness in the heart of the Muslim world than in the heart of the
Christian World. For the Christ is universal. And even that name, being Greek,
separates the man who manifests the power of living love from who he truly was, even
as an historic being. Then we must understand that Christians have not a monopoly on
the true Christ, for he is known in all men who seek to know the source. The child of
light that is born within him, the universal savior, whether called the Christ or by another
name.

Then you must be people who carry the light that people see you as different. Different
not in the sense that you are passive. For those of the pacifist movements, and with
apology we will speak even of those who are the Quakers. The Quakers are a powerful
and committed people, committed to social order. And yet often their standing against
war is not active, but simply resisting. If that is fired with the passion of Raphael from
the south, and the clarity of Gabriel from the north, and the light of Michael of the east,
and the action of Uriel from the west, then you have brought together these four powers
in one and have a foundation upon which to stand.

You must understand better the vitality, the energy, the living one that is love, and know
how to apply it. If you can fire love as directly aimed at the heart of a man as can a
missile be directed, then you have understood the force that is on your side. Not a force
of anger and resistance, not a force that is intended to hurt or destroy. But a force that
give birth to the giant sequoia tree is the force that can defeat any army of earth. And do

© 2007 The Paul Solomon Foundation Page 8

not fail to understand that the towering heroic trees are beings who join you in the
battle. If you can understand all this, that you can overcome.

#6. You have only seen the smallest glimpse of the contamination that man is capable
of unleashing in this war upon the environment. It is easy to see before you the
darkening of the skies to the extent to change the global temperature, sufficiently to
threaten all life on earth. And that seen from this perspective is not a dire consequence,
but a time of resting of the earth that it may give forth a new shoot of green and a
beginning of new life.

But if you can be powerful enough as righteous beings to use the force of prayer, use it
in this sense: Pray not in the name of Christ but in the nature of Christ. If you pray in the
nature of Christ, then Christ prays through you to his own Father. It shall be heart, and
this is the ruling power of the universe, which no man can stand against.

Once you have understood the power of prayer you have the power to end this war, to
clear and clean the environment, to invoke though forms which become available to the
minds of men which enter their consciousness as a sign of peace, rather than the
anxiety which makes man seek outside himself for rescue.

#11: Now, we will hasten on in the short time we can remain in this body, to refer to the
question which one has asked concerning the intervention of what you would call extra-
terrestrial.

We would simply call your attention to realize that this system which we will call for now
the solar system; this system of moons and planets, of satellites and such, this solar
system is inhabited throughout. But not by the forms made of earth, of this planet on
other bodies. These living beings appear in such a manner that if you stepped upon
them with your earth made bodies you would not even see or be aware of the bodies
around you which are made of the nature of the planet.

And yet you are in this system all brothers. And virtually all of you have traveled and
lived upon all the bodies of this system. Thus earth is not separate in her trials and
tribulations from the rest of this system.

And all of those are of the other dimensions. It is more a matter of dimension than of
time and space. Dimensions separate you from the other living beings of this system.
And when you transcend the cleft brain you will be more able to be conscious of, aware
of the brothers and sisters of harmony and light which will participate in lifting the race
beyond destruction. That you may then descend again upon the earth to renew it and to
give.

Thus there is, yes, cooperation between the beings of the system, but your ideas of
spaceships and such are at best a little naive, a bit ignorant of the nature of inter-
dimensional travel. But as you expand your consciousness that is not to be contained in
a physical prison, but expand to the aura that is the greater you which surrounds your

© 2007 The Paul Solomon Foundation Page 9

body. And if you can manage your body from without instead of from within, which is the
nature of one who has opened the crown chakra....so then you will have a spiritual
relationship with the body. It will be yours, rather than your container, it will be your
instrument of expression.

Having attained that relationship then you can join with others who will lift you in what
has been called "the rapture" and "the return" and so shall then all these prophecies be
fulfilled.

That is sufficient to this study. We must separate from this body now. We are through.
