In the Old Testament, the book of Daniel is credited with being a far-ranging view to the future. In the second chapter, ‘the dream of the king Nebuchadnezzar’ shows the destruction of the last man-made empire of the world; 'man made' indicating an empire formed by decree/design. Though it doesn’t exactly say so in the Bible, Nebuchadnezzar made a 90 foot [3score cubits] tall gold coin 9 feet [6 cubits] thick with a bust likeness of himself on the obverse side like a giant Lincoln penny. Outside research also shows the following.
The idea of ‘money’ [capitalism] started with the king who made that first coin. This king was able to use ‘buying’ instead of ‘bartering’ to amass the first ‘empire’, a man-made rather than divinely created kingdom. This king also created ‘the furnace’ as a means of eliminating people which gave the future Nazi group the idea. By the sixth king of Babylon, Hammurabi, law codes formalized the role of ‘money’ in civil society. These laws set amounts of interest on debt, fines for 'wrong doing', and compensation in money for various infractions of formalized law.
The following is a modern interpretation of what the creator of ‘the money system’ dreamed.
The ‘image’ in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream represents the System of Capitalism that he brought into being. This is represented by the golden head. Daniel even tells Nebby that. Not surprisingly, gold is still the top tier of money and the money system.
In the dream Nebuchadnezzar witnesses the fall of Capitalism when the image itself collapses to the ground. When Nebby first sees the image he is awed by the size or expanse of it. Then Nebby is aghast by the destruction and ultimate collapse of what he was initially awed by. Daniel explains to Nebuchadnezzar that the end crash will have no bearing on his present kingdom as the collapse happens to a far-off future empire kingdom.
When the feet of the image break into pieces the dream/Bible says, the image remains upright, suspended for a short period before collapsing to the ground. This means the empire of America will break into pieces, followed by the worldwide system collapse. That is not a far-fetched scenario given the current state of the world’s financial affairs.
Old Nebby was the start of ‘the system’ and America is the end, the d’ feet. We as an empire lured the Soviet Republic into a war with the country Afghanistan. After ten years it broke the Soviet empire into separate countries, pieces. The breaking of the American empire won’t mean the end of the world and life will go on. It will signal the coming end of the world as we know it though.
So now we have magick, mythology, and religion all in the same sack. Classically, methinks there is a riddle afoot.
As like in the 60s when this story starts out, another generation has been born with their eyes open. This time however the internet is available for all those who can discern the truth about how things are connected.
A YouTube series done by High Times author Chris Bennett shows the connection of the Bible to cannabis, or kineboisin, kanabosm. It starts out stating that the King James Version of the Bible mistranslates the word "calamus" in Exodus 30:23. According to Nave's Bible Dictionary, calamus is "A sweet cane of Palestine - Song of Solomon 4:14; Ezekiel 27:19; "An ingredient of the holy ointment - Exodus 30:23; Isaiah 43:24."
The calamus was mixed with cinnamon and myrrh to form the oil for anointing purposes. It was thought until recently that cannabis was not mentioned in the Bible. Scholars have argued about the etymology of kinebosm (or, kannabosm) and related words, such as "qineh," which means hemp. For centuries the word was described as sugarcane.
The recent school of thought claims that in Exodus 30:23, "calamus" is actually "kineboisin" --which is the Hebrew word for cannabis (hemp, or marijuana). In 1903, the British physician Dr. Creighton was the first to determine that several references to cannabis can be found in the Old Testament. Then again in 1936, etymologist Sara Benetowa (of the Institute of Anthropological Sciences in Warsaw) discovered the connection between kaneh-bosem in the Old Testament, and the original Semitic Hebrew origins of the word cannabis. Poland was also the first country of the Hitler blitzkrieg in 1936. Cannabis was outlawed as marijuana here in 1937. If you think that was a coincidence, you are already dead. The world fell into a darkness [night] deprived of the truth about cannabis.
The next weighty evidential claim came in 1980 from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem came. All these studies received little or no lasting merit in the press from static religious thinkers/ scholars, or the federal government. The common man, unless a reader, was oblivious. In the 80s some Jewish scholars further validated the earlier century claims that cannabis is in the bible. Rather than just languish in some dusty literary report, writer Chris Bennett followed up and brought the valid information into general stoner readership through the magazine High Times creating a stir that was debunked by trolls and self-righteous zealots. A news story on MSN reported, with a smirk, about how ‘making the sacred anointing oil nowadays would be illegal’. The world has become a grasshopper at the end of summer, but God is not an ant.
I came across this pot story controversy and tracked down the video lectures while starting a thirteen-part series piece called ‘The Cannabis Conundrum’ for the Calendar. The length of the series and the title pretty much says it all. At this point in time I was aware of my ‘charmed writer life’ which I cracked as being ‘Lois Lane with a penis’ [LLWAP] but I didn’t quite have all the pieces together yet. The Bible and tracing the running theme of places cannabis [kannabosm and "qineh," which means hemp] is used in the Bible I found to be eye-opening on a number of levels.
Suddenly a big jigsaw piece dropped into the puzzle. Past experiences and people had proven that a separate reality exists alongside the one we are taught, or the one most of us are taught. Everything else is taboo, superstition, fable, legend, or a fairy tale. All these categories of tales, stories, and morals have been devalued or debunked by modern science and Organized Christianity. – end part 8
