"And he showed
me a pure river of water of life
clear as crystal, proceeding
out of the throne of
God and of the Lamb.
In the middle of the street
of it, and on either
side of the river, was there
the Tree of Life, which
bare twelve manner of fruits,
and yielded her fruit
every month; and the leaves
of the tree were for
the healing of the nations."
~Revelation 22:8
How can we be sure revelation
is from God or man- there is an ancient school of thought called the Kaballah.
In the Kaballah there is
the Tree of Life or the Tree of Sephiroth. This tree is used to determine
the basic structure of revelation to test its authenticity. Here is a quick
lesson.
KETHER - The "Crown", IAM THAT IAM (GOD)
(KNOWLEDGE) Truth, Free
Agency
CHOKMAH - "Wisdom"...
MALE DOMINANCE (ROOT) OF GOD (Reason
and Analysis)
BINAH - "Understanding"
FEMALE DOMINANCE (ROOT) of GOD (Feeling and Intuition)
CHESED - "Mercy",
(Left
or Right) Mercy hand of Christ. (Grace)
GEBURAH "Severity",
(left or right) Judgment hand of Christ. (Justice,
Chastisement)
TIPHARETH - "Beauty", communion
with Christ (revelation) (Judgment,
Balance)
HOD - "Glory", has
been used to enhance the intellectual faculties, memory, and communication.
Receiving the glory of exaltation of Christ. Redeemed. (Eternal
Life)
NETZACH - "Victory",
given power over oppression, enemies and tribulation. (Resurrection)
YESOD - "Foundation"
the creator. The word of God. (Priesthood
Powers, Rights of the Firstborn)
MALKUTH - "Kingdom"
kingdom of God on Earth (not necessarily a church) (Zion,
Exaltation)
Ok these are the 10 basic structures of the Tree of Life - used to determine if a revelation is of God. Let's test one of my most recent revelations from the Savior.
"His hand once again guides me to keep a record of my proceedings in these days of JUDGMENT that have come upon the land---For the Lord hath lifted his HAND OF MERCY from the people. Saying, They hath defiled my church and mine holy temples, and there are iniquities therein. Wo be unto this generation! For verily their destruction doth speedily come like a thief in the night, lest they repent unto their Lord Jesus Christ."
"I have come among my brethren and not found one who is not lifted up in pride - for they seek in vain and the wisdom of men, and have placed their trust in the arm of flesh. I have risen up a few at this time from in the flock who hath saught WISDOM from me, and through their faith and endurance I have granted unto them my MERCY and quickened their UNDERSTANDING."
"Let those who have ears hear me and know that I shall again place a curse upon this land because of the wickedness of the people, and the secret combinations, and their murders, and the great ones even in my church whom persecute and reject the servants I send among them -- they know me not!"
"But through obedience to my words, my chosen, SHALL OVERCOME ALL OPPOSITION, and fear not, for I shall go before thee in all thy matters. Be it known that there shall rise all manners of dark ones, and wicked men to attempt to hedge up the way, even to try and take your life. You shall behold many abominable things but ye shall have your spiritual eyes open and the heavens shall rend before thee."
"Go forth and speak of the
iniquities to my people even unto those who sit in high places, and unto
the rich and the prudent. For I hath given thee WISDOM --
for the riches and church and the popularity and seeking
to get gain hath not been
your foundation-- and for this ye shall be greatly blessed- because ye
have placed your trust in me and Iam the FOUNDATION for I Am eternal
and all KNOWING and MERCIFUL unto those who
seek WISDOM in their
youth."
"Behold, no one shall have power over thee- they can not remove you from the bosom of Christ- for I have laid my BEAUTY upon thee and my spirit in your eyes, mind and heart."
"Remain humble and contrite - repent daily my son - do not accept the temptations of the flesh! Rise from your slumber and behold the miracles and the power within you. Know that you are chosen and are forgiven of thy sins in as much as thou repent and do good and are in the service of others. For if ye shall go about serving my children humbly, ye are also serving me!"
"I hath sent my angel unto you to proclaim my word and with your own eyes hath you seen me! The time cometh soon when you shall speak repentance. Take yourself and your companion and go forth unto my churches and into their homes and my spirit shall guide you to what you must do. Blessed are thee for ye shall inherit the earth! For I Am the Lord God, even Jesus the Christ. Amen."

The Tree of (life) Sephiroth VS. The Tomb of the Mayan King of Palenque
As of late I have been seriously intrigued in studying the Kaballah through my eyes of a (LDS) Christian. Most respectfully I have been studying the Tree of Sephiroth or the Tree of Life. I have found that the model of this tree has been the basis for prophetic and scriptural writing throughout the Holy Bible, the Book of Mormon and the book of Doctrine and Covenants of the Latter-day Saint Church.
Surprisingly as I was also looking through the Popul Vuh and Erich Von Daniken's book, "Chariot's of the Gods?" I have found great similarities between the Jewish Tree of life and the inscription upon the tomb of Palenque.
Von Daniken's book highly emphasizes
that ancient civilizations were visited and taught by highly intelligent
extra-terrestrials from another planet thousands of years ago- and that
modern man is the descendant of this higher beings mixed with earlier civilizations
of an inferior species of men who were unlearned and animal like.
His book I feel may have some truth to this message but I find his theories
highly opionated and darken the truth. For instance- his outlook
on the tomb of Palenque is that is of a Mayan king using a rocket ship--
and I shall show you here
that this is most likely not
the case.
As you study the scriptures you will find times in history when in fact civilizations were aided by visitors from other worlds- mostly these worlds or world is the one where angels dwell. Throughout time civilizations have had many prophets and during periods of righteousness, peace and prosperity- these civilizations were taught through angelic beings, direct communion with God himself and direct revelation in which they gained a great amount of knowledge of the heavenly realms and hidden wisdoms.
When these civilizations reached
their climax- pride came into place- wars broke out and soon they were
destroyed by all forms of calamities. God would send his destroying
angels to the earth to lay waste to great cities and wipe out entire
civilizations...
Also you will find that there were other angels in the bible who were expelled from their heavenly world and fell to earth. They were called Nephilim, Anunnukai and Gregori. These "Sons of God" had with them all the mysteries of heaven and most likely the technology too. They became corrupt and mingled with mortal women and gave birth to giants and all forms of strange men and creatures- this most likely started the many types of alien races seen today- and is really a large New Age hoax being played as if they are the true Gods- as they were termed Ammon-Ra in ancient times- and the Gods came and destroyed many cities but they had no power over those who worshipped the God Yahweh (Jehovah).
Now as I begin my comparison of these two pictures you have before you I would like you to keep and open mind and realize that I am also capable of error even though I believe I am coming to the right conclusion.
I have a strong belief that the ancestors of the Mayan, Olmec, Incan, Aztec and other ancient America civilizations came from Jerusalem and are mostly of Hebrew and Egyptian decent. Along with them they took what we have now today as the old Testament- and if so- then they also had with them some form of the Kaballah.
First of all if you will look
at the center of both pictures you will see a good similarity- on
the Tree of Life is the balance of good and evil or on the left side Severity
and on the right is Mercy. Look at the hands of the Mayan king and
you will see the basic sign for balance as one hand is held with palm open
upward and the other is held open downward- this symbolism is commonly
found in ancient American art and Asiatic statues. Also you will
notice from time to time painting of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ
in which he has his hands positioned in this manner- with the righteous
on his right
side and the wicked on his
left.
Directly below Beauty (balance) you will find Foundation. Also on the Mayan glyph you will find what appears to be an alter- in other terms a foundation. Most striking is that this man on the glyph in some ancient American beliefs is in fact the great white God or plumed serpent Quetzalcoatal- and right above the man is obviously a cross- the sign of Christ.
At the top of the Tree of Life you will find male and female. On the top of the glyph you will also find two faces- the one on the left is directly connected to the top of the Tree form on the glyph- now this would make rational sense if this was a female representation since the female brings forth life and is more in tune with promptings and the wisdom of God instead of the reasoning of the male.
I will let you decipher the
rest from this point on- since I am no professional in this subject.
I feel I clearly have shown that this glyph is a form of the Tree of Sephiroth
that was had among the Jews and was taught in the school
of Kaballah in which Jesus
and his apostles were students during their earthly ministry.
What of the Chariots of God?
Where do they come into place. Well I have also included an extra
treat to help answer those questions. Many times throughout legends
and histories there have been seen angelic beings in flying wings, discs,
planes and other vehicles.
Were these actual technology being used by angels? Most likely- yes!
Since angels are not yet Gods nor have the same power of God they would
sometimes use these craft- also what about translated prophets and men-
they would need some type of vehicle to travel to the heavens- for example
Enoch, Ezekiel, Elias and Elijah. There are even legends that King
Solomon traveled in one of the spectacular chariots of light, called in
Hebrew, the
Markabah.
My sources are primarily from the writings of a great scholar, Hugh B. Nibley. He uses other sources as you shall see. First I would like to show that Enoch most likely knew and used these ancient chariots.

Now from my study on Egyptian I have noticed that when God is shown seated on his throne it is represented by a boat-like vessel which has brought to me the assumption that his throne travels.. I will now give another expert which shows the possibility of vehicular thrones of God given to the prophet Ishmael and Enoch.
Now for my conclusion- if you are familiar with any my own personal experiences, I have been through some alien abductions of my own- and at the end of one of these encounters i was taken up to the top of a high mountain by the messenger of light who was with me- I was not shown how I was taken there- he placed his hands over my eyes so that I could not see where I was going- all I felt was a rush of warmth and what seemed like only seconds later I was on top of a mountain.
People have time and time again asked me if the Prophet Joseph Smith of the LDS church could have been an abductee- from what I have learned- this may be true to a point- I feel he definitely knew about these things and was concerned and studied them for a reason- if he did have his own encounters with flying chariots - he never published any accounts but has in a sense gave some knowledge that these things exist... He once had a vision in which a friend was running from enemies and was taken into the air by a flying chariot.
"I would just say to
Brother Marks, that I saw in a vision while on the road, that whereas he
was closely pursued by an innumerable concourse of enemies, and as
they pressed upon him hard, as if they were about to devour him, and had
seemingly obtained some degree of advantage over him, but about this time
a chariot of fire came, and near the place, even the angel of the Lord
put forth his hand unto Brother Marks and said unto him, "Thou art my son,
come here," and immediately he was caught up in the chariot, and rode away
triumphantly out of their midst. And again the Lord said, I will
raise thee up for a blessing unto many people." Now the particulars
of this whole matter cannot be written at this time, but the vision was
evidently given to me that I might know that the hand of the Lord would
be on his behalf."
