Message: Entry: Darwin, Alone, Is Not Enough Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/darwin_alone_is_not_enough#25382 Post contents: In the course of Precession, about 255 B.C. , the vernal birthplace passed into the sign [house] of the Fishes, and the Messiah who had been represented for 2155 years by the Ram or Lamb, and previously for other 2155 years by the Apis Bull [the golden bull smashed by moses], was now imaged as the Fish, or the "Fish-man," called Ichthys in Greek. Ever notice the fishmouth headgear [Dagon] worn by the pope? In the Gospel of Matthew, 13:47-50, Jesus compares God's decision on who will go to heaven or to hell ("the fiery furnace") at the end of this world to fishers sorting out their catch, keeping the good fish and throwing the bad fish away. In the Gospel of John, 21:11, it is related that the disciples fished all night but caught nothing. Jesus instructed them to cast the nets on the other side of the boat, and they drew in 153 fish. It has been observed that, like many other numbers given in the Bible, this number is associated with a mystic property, in this case the vertical ratio of the vesica piscis.[citation needed] A less commonly cited use of fish in Christ's life may be found in the words of Matthew 17:24-27, in which, upon being asked if his Teacher does not pay the temple (two-drachma) tax, Simon Peter answers, "Yes." Christ tells Peter to go to the water and cast a line. He says that a coin sufficient for the tax will be found in the fish's mouth. Peter does as told, and does find the coin.-wikipedia Sent at: 2008 07 24
