The Bible, according to the most, is nothing but the "tales of the old", and God "does not exist". What if the Bible is not the "tales of the old" but an almanac of mankind for events past, present and yet to come? Let's illustrate our thesis, then. Let's pick three random years within the 20th century say, 1982, 1992 and 1993. What happened on earth in 1992 that made the news? 1992 is the first year since 1922 without the Soviet Union and the Cold War, as at the end of 1991 the Soviet Union denounced itself. What else? 1992 is also the year Michael Drosnin found about Bible Codes during his visit to Israel. The Energy Policy Act of 1992 came into effect the same year, paving the way for the utilization and promotion of alternative energy resources across US. 1992 is also the year a breakthrough in "in vitro fertilization" (used for test tube babies) has been developed in Brussels, Belgium. The Bible, mainly the Psalms, through "keywords" and "key phrases" have foretold the mentioned events thousands of years before they actually "came to pass" before our very eyes! The events of year 1992 are foretold in Psalm 92. Psalms is the 19th book of the Bible. 19th book + Psalm 92 = year 1992 events! The same logic applies to any year in the 20th, or the 21st century. Wonder what will happen in year 2009? Look up to Psalm 109! How about year 1982? Study Psalm 82! Three layers cover the verses provided in Psalms. On the first layer, the verses are just prayers, praises to the Lord. On the second layer, the same verses serve as an Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All rights reserved. 6 almanac of events bound to happen on earth within that year. The third and the final layer unfolds the galactic events that await on God’s Calendar for the year in question. Year 1982 To interpret the 82nd Psalm, one needs to look above - to the heavens. A rare event took place up in space in 1982, called a “syzygy”, which, according to the 1974 best selling book “The Jupiter Effect” was expected to trigger several catastrophes on earth within the same year. Who is the audience God addresses in this Psalm? We know that the audience is at a meeting with the Lord in the “congregation” (assembly). The meeting is held for God is to judge and analyze the performance of the audience. “Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High” reads the verse, hinting that the meeting is held among God and the children of God. Yet, a verse later we are given another clue: “But ye shall die like men and fall like one of the princes.” If the audience is the children of the Most High, how could they die like men? The answer is simple: the audience is neither men, nor the children of God, but planets! Planets that “walk on in darkness”. Planets that “know not, neither understand”, and “shall die like men, and fall…” – exactly as the verses define! The year is 1982; when all the planets gathered on the same side of the Sun, forming a planetary alignment, a syzygy – a “congregation”. The verses illustrate The Lord as the Sun, and the planets as “the children of the most High”. The entire Psalm hints us the importance and the effect of planetary motions on human lives. The verses also warn about the death of a prince in 1982 with the line “… fall like one of the princes”. The King and the former Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia died on June 13, 1982. Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All rights reserved. 7 Year 1992 1992 marks as a pivotal year in the history of mankind. It is the first year without the Soviet Union and the Cold War since 1922, as the 1922 Treaty on the creation of the Soviet Union has been denounced on December 12, 1991. The Bible refers to the Soviet Union as “workers of iniquity”. This comes as no surprise since Russia, in her Communist days, promoted and favored the rights and needs of the working class. “All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered” reads the verse, and so it was! The union of Soviets was no more. The verse is found within Psalm 92; the Psalm that is spared for the events of year 1992. Not anywhere else! 1992 is also the year Michael Drosnin found about “Bible Codes” during his visit to Israel and Eliyahu Rips (one of the world's leading authorities on group theory - a field of mathematics underlying quantum physics). Rips used a computer program to locate the codes in the Torah. The 92nd Psalm refers to the computer as an “instrument of ten strings” (a computer keyboard used with ten fingers!), and explains the usage of computer on the Bible with the phrase “upon the psaltery”. The next verse that follows reads “O Lord, how great are thy works! And thy thoughts are very deep. A bruitsh man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this” in reference to the spectacular nature of the Bible Codes and the holy wisdom behind it. The phrase “fresh oil” used in Psalm 92/Verse 10 alludes to alternative energy sources, or “The [US] Energy Policy Act of 1992” which aimed at: “restructuring energy markets in the United States. Energy efficiency programs, the use of alternative fuels and renewable energy, research and development programs, and various tax credits and exemptions are mandated in the Act.(51) Programs that have the greatest impact on petroleum”. The 11th verse within the 92nd Psalm that reads “Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All rights reserved. 8 me” refers to the establishment of United States Strategic Command by George Bush, in, yes, year 1992: "On June 1, 1992, President George H. W. Bush established the U.S. Strategic Command out of the Strategic Air Command (SAC) and other Cold War military bodies, now obsolete due to the change in world politics." Last but not the least, the 92nd Psalm/13th verse that reads “those that be planted…” refers to the development of the “intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)” method of single sperms directly into female eggs ("those that be planted") by Andre van Steirtegham in Brussels, Belgium, in 1992 – a breakthrough in “test tube baby” pregnancies. Year 1993 The year 1993 is remembered for: 1) World Trade Center Bombing 2) The Great Flood in U.S. 3) Inauguration of a New President into the White House - Bill Clinton The Bible, namely the 93rd Psalm, foretold all three events thousands of years before they actually took place and “came to pass” before our very eyes! The 1993 World Trade Center bombing occurred on February 26, 1993, when a car bomb was detonated below the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. The Bible calls the World Trade Center “the world” in the first verse, and explains how it “is stablished, that it cannot be moved”, hinting that no major damage would be caused by the attacker who “is clothed with strength”, “wherewith he hath girded himself” in allusion to the yellow Ryder van that was loaded with the 1310 lb. bomb used in the bombing. Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All rights reserved. 9 1993 is also the year Tel Dan Stele was discovered in Israel – the archeological proof of King David. The second verse “thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting” alludes to King David, the author of most of the Psalms. The discovery of Tel Dan Stele proved once again that a king named David is not a fictional character, but a king who actually did reign in Israel. The third verse is self-explanatory: “The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.” The Bible is clearly warning the sons and daughters of Jacob regarding a most deadly flood bound to take its toll across the US in year 1993. "The Great Flood of 1993 was among the most costly and devastating ever to occur in the United States, with $15 billion in damages. The hydrographic basin affected covered around 745 miles (1200 km) in length and 435 miles (700 km) in width, totaling about 320,000 square miles (840,000 km²). Within this zone, the flooded area totaled around 30,000 square miles (80,000 km²)[2] and was the worst such U.S. disaster since the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927, as measured by duration, square miles inundated, persons displaced, crop and property damage, and number of record river levels. In some categories, the 1993 flood even surpassed the 1927 flood, at the time the largest flood ever recorded on the Mississippi." Finally, the keywords “throne” and “reigneth” allude to a new president in the White House; namely Bill Clinton, the 42nd President of the United States. Bill Clinton took office in 1993 and served as a president till 2001. Conclusion The sub-title of the book is inspired by Psalms 25:14: "The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant". The covenant the Lord has signed with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is not an exclusive contract, or an agreement but an almanac, a history of events promised to the Patriarchs and their seed directly by the Lord! Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All rights reserved. 10 The Psalms Code - The Secret of The Lord studies several years and exhibits how, through keywords and key phrases, the mentioned events were foretold in the Bible roughly 3,000 thousand years before the events became real! No software or knowledge of Hebrew is required to unlock the codes found in the Psalms! Anyone, living in any nation can witness and harness the codes with their own Bible written in their own language. In God's Eyes, the future as we know it is nothing but past. It's all history to Him. The future events up till the year 2050 A.D. are given in Psalms. The first Psalm refers to year 1901 A.D., and the last one to year 2050 A.D. events. Why the year 2050 A.D.? The answer may be hidden in the 90th Psalm, “a prayer of Moses the man of God”: 9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. 10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. 1990’s was the last decade of the 20th century and the 2nd millennium. The 90th Psalm refers to year 1990 A.D. When we add “threescore years and ten” to 1990, we end up at 2060 A.D. (1990 + (3 x 20) + 10). If we add “fourscore years” to 1990, we end up at 2070 A.D. (1990 + (4 x 20)). The last Psalm points to 2050 A.D. Moses highlights 2060 and 2070 A.D. “… For it is soon cut off, and we fly away” reads the verse. Moses makes a reference to an event that will happen in 2060 or 2070 A.D. which may cause a remnant among the people of Israel to “fly away”, to leave earth, or be taken up by the Lord in order to pursue life on another planet; possibly on planet Mars - the biblical Zion, as hinted in several verses in the Old Testament. Last but not the least; year 2070 is a “syzygy” year – the year of another grand planetary alignment that takes place in the heavens every 88 years. We should also note that each astrological age lasts about 2,150 years. The earth is currently in the Age of Pisces. In year 2150 A.D. (a hundred years or a century after the year 2050 A.D. the last Psalm refers at) the Age of Aquarius will start. Since there Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All rights reserved. 11 are 12 signs in the Zodiac, a full cycle of ages is completed in about 25,800 years (2,150 x 12) forming a “Great Year” or “Platonic Year”. Each astrological age is approximately 2,150 years long, on average, but there are various methods of calculating this length that may yield longer or shorter time spans depending upon the technique used. Unlike sun-sign astrology where the first sign is Aries, followed by Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces, whereupon the cycle returns to Aries and through the zodiacal signs again, the astrological ages proceed in the opposite direction or order. Therefore, the current age, which comes before the Age of Aquarius, is Pisces. It has been said that we are currently shifting into the "Aquarian Age". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_Aquarius - Accessed May 3, 2009. *** Though it may be hard to predict what will happen in the upcoming years based only on the given data in the verses, by the end of the year in question, it will be a breeze to interpret what the verses have referred to all along. The Psalms - an almanac (of mankind) it is, and one precious and brilliant one indeed! Much beyond that, it is THE "living" PROOF of GOD! An event mentioned in a certain Psalms is likely to take place within the associated year almost 99% of the time. But certain events show and prove that an event mentioned in Psalms could also "realize" itself within a maximum of three years from the year or Psalm of reference. Isaiah 46: 9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, 10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All rights reserved. 12 Finally, contrary to our expectations, a particular event signaled in the Psalms may actually never happen at all. The above verses make clear: “My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure” says the Lord. It is God who decides what will happen next! Not us, the mankind, or our expectations. Deuteronomy 32: 39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand. 40 For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever. There is a God. The LORD of Hosts is His name. There is a proof. Psalms (inspired by the Most High roughly 3,000 years ago) is His Gift to us, the mankind. There is no doubt. Psalms enlists all major world events bound to happen on earth between 1901 AD and 2050 AD. There it is. There it was. There it will be!

Rasputin traveled, on foot, from Tyumen Oblast, Russia to Athens and Jerusalem the year the first Psalms points at – in year 1901. The entire 150 Chapters of the Psalms, at its fourth and final layer, are devoted to him – to Immanuel, Jesus Christ. In other words, the very first verse of the Book of Psalms declares the dedicated deity and the official address of the 3,000 year old verses. It is no other than Jesus Christ - the man who died not! Jesus Christ: the supernatural, the phenomenal, if not the extraterrestrial. As his biblical name “Immanuel” clearly defines: “The Lord” who “is with us”! The earth was LORD’s gift to him. What we call “history” is, was and still is being written for him, at certain times, exclusively by him. Jesus called on the LORD, and the LORD heard him. When Jesus died or was murdered, it was the LORD of Hosts who saved him and brought him back to life. Jesus never died a permanent death. His deaths were only temporary “leaves of absence”. He was in one extreme condition or state of “savasana” [corpse pose] when he died. He was destined to be born again. He, almost, incarnated at will. He called on the LORD, and the LORD saved, “delivered” or “redeemed” him; hence the name Jesus [“Yahweh saves or rescues”]. Death was not an obstacle for Immanuel. He would die but would soon be brought back to life again exclusively by the LORD of Hosts. In a way, the entire globe, the planet earth may be pictured as Immanuel’s playground. He lived several lives in it, and at certain times, all at once! He wrote, personally staged and played the lives of certain key figures of human history all by himself. Without a shadow of a doubt, he still does! We are talking about a man who is at least 3,000 years old by our [human] standards! The fourth and final layer of the Psalms is devoted entirely to Immanuel [“Lord is with us”] – Jesus Christ! Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All rights reserved. 14 In the Bible, the LORD is depicted with the number 19 [the figure that is made of two numbers: 1 and 9 – the “first” and the “last”]. “I am Alpha and Omega” declares the Lord. In our decimal system number one marks “the first” and number nine marks “the last” numeral! One plus nine makes a ten. One “and” nine [“Alpha and Omega”] make a “19”! As declared in Isaiah 44:6 and Revelation 22:13, 19 is the number of the LORD (“first” and “last”, “Alpha” and “Omega”; 1 and 9 or 19), just as 22 is the number of Jesus Christ “His Anointed”. The number 19, the holy number that represents the LORD (“the first and the last”) unveils all secrets hidden from man! The Koran is also known for its “miracle of 19” – the network of the number 19 across its chapters and verses. Note that 19th Chapter of the Koran starts with 19th letter of its Hebrew equivalent – letter Kaf. The verses and the messages of the Psalms and the Koran are interlocked as we shall reveal in this book and in another book titled “Psalms Confirm the Koran”. Jesus, who started his first life as “Immanuel” [“The Lord is with us”], a name and a life lived exclusively by the LORD of Hosts, founded and established Christianity. He was born once a century, once a generation, and he made himself known usually at the 69th or 70th year of the century at hand, 77 years from the first Jubilee Year of the following century. Following his crucifixion, he lived four more lives in the consecutive four centuries that followed. At his sixth life, he incarnated as Prophet Mohammed, delivered the Koran and founded Islam. As hinted in several verses of the Psalms, especially in the 19th Psalm, Prophet Mohammed was the 6th incarnation of Jesus Christ. He not only established the religion of Islam, but ruled the Arab nation and was the Commander in Chief of their army as well. When Islam was revealed six centuries after the birth of Christ, the ultimate sin Jews committed against the LORD was not totally forgotten. Parallel to the Christian faith, Jesus was the LORD but only at his first and last lives. Attempting to crucify the LORD may be the very reason why certain verses of the Koran portray Lord’s anger at the Jews, even though the abomination Jews committed was already six hundred years old by our standards when Islam was first revealed. Considering the fact that a thousand years is only a day on LORD’s calendar [Psalms 90:4], six hundred and ten years would only mark a 0.61th of a day [the Golden Mean, or the Golden Ratio!] for the LORD who still held his fury against the Jews when Islam was introduced [610 Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All rights reserved. 15 AD]. The 19th book, 19th Chapter of the Bible, Psalms, illustrates Islam. Incidentally, the 19th Book, 19th verse of the Koran, the holy Book of Islam, signals the birth of Jesus! Moreover, the 19th Book of the Koran is titled “Marium”, or “Mary”, the virgin who begot Jesus! Coincidence? We most certainly do not think so! At the end of his miraculous series of lives, Jesus was all. He started his journey, his first life as a Jew [Jesus of Nazareth] lived exclusively by the LORD of Hosts Himself. Centuries later Jesus continued his cycle of lives as an Arab [Prophet Mohammed], and ended it as a Russian [Rasputin], a Jew and a Turk [Lenin], an American [Royal Raymond Rife] and finally the “Father of Turks”, a Turk [Mustafa Kemal Ataturk]. Ataturk marked the final, the 22nd incarnation of Jesus Christ. He was a “name” reserved to be lived by the LORD of Hosts Himself alone. Ataturk founded the Republic of Turkey, and was the Commander in Chief of the Turkish Army and the first President of the Turkish “race”. The final four lives of Jesus, the 19th to 22nd incarnations, were “worn” all at once; commemorating his spectacular series of lives with one stunning finale! At the end of the 1,900 year incarnation cycle, by the end of the 19th year of the 19th century, the past, the present and the future of human history were already co-written exclusively by the LORD of Hosts and His Anointed Jesus Christ alone! The new 1,900 year cycle is due to start again in year 2019, at exactly 100 years after the end of the first one that halted in 1919! Again, the new “Jesus Incarnation Cycle” is destined to be launched precisely in year 2019 – the year the 119th Psalm points at, 19 years after the end of the second millennium following Jesus Christ’s first birth! As the “First” and the “Last” the LORD of Hosts will “live” the very first new life of the new “Jesus Cycle” once again! Just like the previous cycle, the new cycle will offer yet another 22 new lives for Jesus Christ, plus two more – a total of 24 lives! The 119th Psalm, is the longest Psalm, and is the longest Chapter of the Bible and hosts several clues as to what the expect in each and every upcoming life Jesus will reveal himself in from year 2019 and onward. The word “LORD” is mentioned 24 times within the 119th Psalm that points to year 2019 events, hinting the start of 24 brand new lives destined for Jesus within the new “Jesus Cycle” of 1,900 years. Each letter of the Hebrew alphabet signals and numbers the lives that await Jesus in his long journey ahead and hint the context, the duty and the character of each therein. Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All rights reserved. 16 Nine years from now, the LORD will make Himself known as a human, manifested in a human body, under a new name, in an office or duty He already has “sworn in” here on earth in year 2010. The very first life of the new 1,900 year incarnation cycle of Jesus shall again be “lived” or “worn” exclusively by the LORD of Hosts Himself. The LORD is nigh! Just nine years from now, mankind will have an “twice in a 1,900 years” chance to witness the start of a new Jesus Cycle and behold the glory of the LORD manifested in a human body with their own eyes! Though it may sound as science fiction to most, the key phrases hidden in the Psalms have kept signaling the fact for the past 3,000 years. The true message of the Psalms was either ignored, kept secret or remained unsolved. There is no verse in the Psalms that claims that Jesus had just one life, lived it and died and that was all there is to it. To the contrary, the final, the fourth and outmost layer of the Psalms belongs to Jesus and is there to reveal the hidden Jesus of the era at hand. What we call “history”, in a way, is the biography of Jesus. The almanac of mankind is nothing but the diary of Jesus! - The man who died not! Psalms 118: 17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD. 18 The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death. Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever.

Psalms 1: 1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. 4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Introduction The first Psalm that points to year 1901 events hosts the phrase “the law of the LORD”. 1901 was the year the Hammurabi Code was unearthed in Iran – “one of the first written codes of law in recorded history”. The ancient law code goes back to year 1790 BC, and was about 3,691 years old when it was discovered in year 1901. withstand death after being poisoned, badly beaten and being shot four times within the same night later in 1916. He was special, if not holy or extraterrestrial. Rasputin was called a “holy man” (by the Russian Tsar Nicholas II), a “prophet” and “Christ” (by Tsar’s wife Alexandra who claimed God talked to her through Rasputin), he was considered to be a “religious prophet” and a “man of God” by both the Tsar and his wife, and even “Anti-Christ” (by Khionia Guseva, who attempted to kill him). People who knew him well were aware of his heavenly qualifications. Rasputin, “Christ” or “Anti-Christ” is “his anointed” mentioned in the 2nd Psalm, who incarnated once every century - 77 years prior to the first or the second Jubilee year of the century (whichever was deemed fit). Rasputin was born in 1869, 77 years before 1946 - the first Jubilee year of the 20th century. He incarnated again in 1919, 77 years before 1996 – the second Jubilee year of the 20th century, as our study of the 8th, 18th and the 19th Psalm will further exhibit. All in all, “Christ incarnated” lived the life of the Anti-Christ within the body of Rasputin. He taught the opposite of what Christ preached roughly 1,900 years ago. Rasputin’s motto of “divine grace through sin” diverged with Christ’s original principle, zealous avoidance and refusal of sin. The last verse that reads “For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish” alludes to the Hejaz Railway (“the way”) that was started to be constructed in 1901. The railway was to connect Istanbul (Constantinople), the capital city of the Ottoman Empire with the holy city of Islam – Mecca. The Ottoman Empire Hammurabi (ruled ca. 1796 BC – 1750 BC) said he was chosen by the gods to deliver the law to his people. In the preface to the law code, he states, "Anu and Bel called by name me, Hammurabi, the exalted prince, who feared God, to bring about the rule of righteousness in the land."[6] The Code consists of 282 laws, with scaled punishments, adjusting "an eye for an eye" as graded depending on social status, of slave versus free man.[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_of_Ham murabi - Accessed Aug. 10, 2010. *** The verses “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly … But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night” allude to Gregori Rasputin – a Russian mystic known for his prophetic powers. 1901 was the year Rasputin left his hometown near Tyumen Oblast, Russia and traveled, on foot, (“Blessed is the man that walketh …”) to Greece and Jerusalem at the age of 32. When Rasputin returned from his journey two years later in 1903, he no longer was an ordinary man with extraordinary powers. People and the elite of St. Petersburg, Russia ranked him with prophets as he could heal illnesses, foresee the future, and even Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All rights reserved. 19 owned and financed the railway, the Germans built it. The railway was built near the oil fields of the Middle East. The construction of the Hejaz, and later the BaghdadBerlin Railways is considered to be one of the critical causes of World War I. The Hejaz Railway never reached its final destination Mecca, and become obsolete just years after its completion with the break of World War I and the fall of the Ottoman Empire - hinted in the verses with the line “the way of the ungodly shall perish”. The two allied nations paid a costly price for building the Hejaz Railway in 1901 and the Berlin-Baghdad Railway two years later.

It took place in Paris in 1919 and involved diplomats from more than 30 countries. They met, discussed and came up with a series of treaties ("Peace of Paris Treaties") that reshaped the map of Europe and the world, and imposed guilt and stiff financial penalties on Germany. At its center were the leaders of the three "Great Powers": Presidents: Woodrow Wilson of USA; David Lloyd George of Great Britain and Georges Clemenceau of France.

The Code of Hammurabi (Codex Hammurabi) is a well-preserved ancient law code, created ca. 1790 BC (middle chronology) in ancient Babylon. It was enacted by the sixth Babylonian king, Hammurabi, and partial copies exist on a human-sized stone stele and various clay tablets. The Code consists of 282 laws, with scaled punishments, adjusting "an eye for an eye" as graded depending on social status, of slave versus free man.[1] One nearly complete example of the Code survives today, on a diorite stele [2] in the shape of a huge index finger, 2.25 m or 7.4 ft tall (see images at right). The Code is inscribed in the Akkadian language, of the common people, using cuneiform script carved into the stele[3] (on display in the Louvre).

However, this interpretation may be anachronistic. The Code's provisions do not cover important areas of law and commerce. The occasional nature of many provisions indicates that the Code may be better read as a codification of supplementary judicial decisions of the king. Rather than being a modern legal code or constitution, it may have as its purpose the self-glorification of Hammurabi by memorialising his wisdom and justice. Its copying in subsequent generations indicates that it was used as a model of legal and judicial reasoning.[12] The Babylonians and their neighbors developed the earliest system of economics that was fixed in a legal code, using a metric of various Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever.

But if the river proves that the accused is not guilty, and he escapes unhurt, then he who had brought the accusation shall be put to death, while he who leaped into the river shall take possession of the house that had belonged to his accuser. * If anyone brings an accusation of any crime before the elders, and does not prove what he has charged, he shall, if a capital offense is charged, be put to death. * If a builder builds a house for someone, and does not construct it properly, and the house which he built falls in and kills its owner, then the builder shall be put to death.(Another variant of this is, If the owner's son dies, then the builder's son shall be put to death.) * If a son strike his father, his hands shall be hewn off. * If a man give his child to a nurse and the child dies in her hands, but the nurse unbeknown to the father and mother nurses another child, then they shall convict her of having nursed another child without the knowledge of the father and mother and her breasts shall be cut off. * If anyone steals the minor son of another, he shall be put to death. * If a man takes a woman to wife, but has no intercourse with her, this woman is no wife to him. * If a man strikes a pregnant woman, thereby causing her to miscarry and die, the assailant's daughter shall be put to death. * If a man puts out the eye of an equal, his eye shall be put out. * If a man knocks the teeth out of another man, his own teeth will be knocked out. * If anyone strikes the body of a man higher in rank than he, he shall receive sixty blows with an ox-whip in public. * If a freeborn man strikes the body of another freeborn man of equal rank, he shall pay one gold mina [an amount of money]. * If the slave of a freed man strikes the body of a freed man, his ear shall be cut off. * If anyone commits a robbery and is caught, he shall be put to death. * If anyone opens his ditches to water his crop, but is careless, and the water floods his neighbor's field, he shall pay his neighbor corn for his loss. * If a judge tries a case, reaches a decision, and presents his judgment in writing; and later it is discovered that Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever.

There are 282 such laws in the Code of Hammurabi, each usually no more than a sentence or two.

What was his name? The name of the God who inspired the Hammurabi Code and several other codes of law before and after Hammurabi was “Shamash”. Such a supposition would accord with the prominence acquired by the moon in the calendar and in astrological calculations, as well as with the fact that the moon-cult belongs to the nomadic and therefore earlier stage of civilization, whereas the sun-god rises to full importance only after the agricultural stage has been reached. The two chief centres of sun-worship in Babylonia were Sippar, represented by the mounds at Abu Habba, and Larsa, represented by the modern Senkerah. At both places the chief sanctuary bore the name E-barra (or E-babbara) "the shining house" – a direct allusion to the brilliancy of the sun-god. Of the two temples, that at Sippara was the more famous, but temples to Shamash were erected in all large centres – such as Babylon, Ur, Mari, Nippur, and Nineveh. Another reference to Shamash is the Babylonian epic Gilgamesh. When Gilgamesh and Enkidu travel to slay Humbaba, each morning they pray and make libation to Shamash in the direction of the rising sun for safe travels. The attribute most commonly associated with Shamash is justice. Just as the sun disperses darkness, so Shamash brings wrong and injustice to light. Hammurabi attributes to Shamash the inspiration that led him to gather the existing laws and legal procedures into a code, and in the design accompanying the code the king represents himself in an attitude of adoration before Shamash as the embodiment of the idea of justice. Several centuries before Hammurabi, Ur-Engur of the Ur dynasty (c. 2600 BC) declared that he rendered decisions "according to the just laws of Shamash." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamash Accessed Aug. 10, 2010. Shamash The name simply means "sun" (cognate to Hebrew shemesh and Arabic shams). Both in early and in late inscriptions Shamash is designated as the "offspring of Nannar"; i.e. of the moongod, and since, in an enumeration of the pantheon, Sin generally takes precedence of Shamash, it is in relationship, presumably, to the moongod that the sun-god appears as the dependent power.

There is, however, a very similar Russian adjective, rasputny (распу́тный), which does mean "licentious" — as well as the corresponding noun, распутны "rasputnik". Some even suggest that his name meant "dissolute".[24] There are at least two options for the root-word: one of them is "put", which means "way", "road", and other close nouns are rasputye, a place where the roads diverge or converge, and rasputitsa (распу́тица), "muddy road season".

Rasputin survived one assassination attempt and almost survived a second, in which he was reportedly poisoned, shot, and left for dead, shot again when he revived, beaten, and drowned. In June 1914, Rasputin was visiting his wife and children in his hometown of Pokrovskoye. On June 29, he had either just received a telegram or was just exiting church, when he was attacked suddenly by Khionia Guseva, a former prostitute who had become a disciple of the monk Iliodor, once a friend of Rasputin's but now absolutely disgusted with his behavior. Guseva thrust a knife into Rasputin's abdomen and his entrails hung out of what seemed like a mortal wound. Convinced of her success, Guseva supposedly screamed, "I have killed the Antichrist!" After intensive surgery, however, Rasputin recovered. His daughter stated in her memoirs that he was never the same man after receiving this wound: He tired more easily and frequently took opium for pain. The murder of Rasputin has become legend, some of it apparently invented by the very men who killed him. It is generally agreed that, on December 16, 1916, having decided that Rasputin's influence over the Tsaritsa had made him a dangerous threat to the empire, a group of nobles, led by Prince Felix Yusupov and the Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich, apparently lured Rasputin to the Yusupovs' Moika Palace, where they served him cakes and red wine laced with a massive amount of cyanide. According to legend, Rasputin was unaffected, although Vasily Maklakov had supplied enough poison to kill seven men. (However, Maria's account asserts that, if her father did eat or drink poison, it was not in the cakes or wine, because, after the attack by Guseva, he had hyperacidity, and avoided anything with sugar. She expressed doubt that he was poisoned at all.) Determined to finish the job, Yusupov became anxious about the possibility that Rasputin might live until the morning, which would leave the conspirators with no time to conceal his body. Yusupov ran upstairs to consult the others and then came back down to shoot Rasputin through the back with a revolver. Rasputin fell, and the company left the palace. However, Yusupov decided to return to get his coat. He also decided to check on the body. When he did so, Rasputin opened his eyes, grabbed Yusupov by the throat and strangled him. "You bad boy," Rasputin whispered ominously in his ear, before throwing him across the room and escaping. As he made his bid for freedom, however, the other conspirators arrived and fired at him. After being hit three times in the back, Rasputin fell once more. As they neared his body, the party found that, remarkably, he was still alive, struggling to get up. They clubbed him into submission and, after wrapping his body in a sheet, threw him into an icy river, where he finally met his end—as had both his siblings before him.

Three days later, the body of Rasputin, shot four times and badly beaten, was recovered from the Neva River and autopsied. The cause of death, however, was declared to be hypothermia. His arms were found in an upright position, as if he had tried to claw his way out from under the ice. In the autopsy, it was reportedly found that he had indeed been poisoned, and that the poison alone should have been enough to kill him. However, later investigations have contradicted this. Subsequently, the Empress Alexandra buried Rasputin's body in the grounds of Tsarskoye Selo. However, after the February Revolution, a group of workers from Saint Petersburg uncovered the remains, carried them into a nearby wood and burned them. http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entr y/Grigori_Rasputin - Accessed Aug. 10, 2010.

I feel that I shall leave life before January 1st. I wish to make known to the Russian people, to Papa, to the Russian Mother and to the children, to the land of Russia, what they must understand. If I am killed by common assassins, and especially by my brothers the Russian peasants, you, Tsar of Russia, have nothing to fear, remain on your throne and govern, and you, Russian Tsar, will have nothing to fear for your children, they will reign for hundreds of years in Russia. But if I am murdered by boyars, nobles, and if they shed my blood, their hands will remain soiled with my blood, for twenty-five years they will not wash their hands from my blood.

Following the 1917 abdication and subsequent exile of Czar Nicholas II and his family, they were sent by train into Siberia, to which they passed through the modern-looking village of Pokrovskoye.

Nicholas II ruled from 1894 until his abdication on 15 March 1917. His reign saw Imperial Russia go from being one of the foremost great powers of the world to an economic and military disaster. Critics nicknamed him Bloody Nicholas because of the Khodynka Tragedy, Bloody Sunday, and the anti-Semitic pogroms that occurred during his reign. Under his rule, Russia was defeated in the Russo–Japanese War. As head of state, he approved the Russian mobilization of August 1914, which marked the first fatal step into World War I and thus into the demise of the Romanov dynasty less than four years later. Nicholas II abdicated following the February Revolution of 1917 during which he and his family were imprisoned first in the Alexander Palace at Tsarskoye Selo, then later in the Governor's Mansion in Tobolsk, and finally at the Ipatiev House in Yekaterinburg.

The verses almost describe the life of Christ (“his anointed” mentioned in the next Psalm) without ever mentioning his name. Rasputin was called a “holy man” (by the Tsar), a “prophet” and “Christ” (by Tsar’s wife Alexandra who claimed God talked to her through Rasputin), he was considered to be a “religious prophet” and a “man of God” by both the Tsar and his wife, and even “AntiChrist” (by Khionia Guseva, who attempted to kill him).

Rasputin was born in 1869, 25 years before the closest and the first (year 1894), 77 years before the second closest (year 1946) Jubilee year on Lord’s Calendar. He was killed in 1916, at the age of 47. The 16th Psalm that points to year 1916 illustrates Rasputin’s death as follows (figuratively voiced by Christ, Anti-Christ, or Rasputin himself): 9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. 10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. 11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. 14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. Christ, “his anointed” is almost apologizing for his (sinful?) past life lived within the body, under the name of Gregori Rasputin and for his latest teachings (i.e. “divine grace through sin”) that conflicted with his original teachings of Christianity 19 centuries ago. All in all, “Christ incarnated” lived the life of the Anti-Christ within the body of Rasputin. He taught the opposite of what Christ preached roughly 1,900 years ago. Rasputin’s motto of “divine grace through sin” diverged with Christ’s original principle, zealous avoidance and refusal of sin. Year 1996 was the second Jubilee year of the 20th century. If Christ is incarnated or crowned with a new life, body and duty 77 years before every first or second Jubilee year of the century (whichever is deemed fit) he would have to be re-born in year 1919, just three years after his first death within the 20th century. As we have seen, the phrase “the law of the LORD” appears in Psalms 1, 19 and 119. The mentioned Psalms refer to years 1901, 1919 and 2019 respectively. The 19th Psalm that points to year 1919 AD illustrates the re-birth, or the incarnation of Christ with the following verses: 13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. When he was around the age of eighteen Rasputin spent three months in the Verkhoturye Monastery, possibly as a penance for theft. His experience there, combined with a reported vision of the Mother of God on his return, turned him towards the life of a religious mystic and wanderer. It also appears that he came into contact with the banned Christian sect known as the khlysty (flagellants), whose impassioned services, ending in physical exhaustion, led to rumors that religious and sexual ecstasy were combined in these rituals. Suspicions (which have not generally been accepted by historians) that Rasputin was one of the Khlysts threatened his reputation right to the end of his life. Alexander Guchkov charged him with being a member of this illegal and orgiastic sect. The Tsar perceived the very real threat of a scandal and ordered his own investigations but did not, in the end, remove Rasputin from his position of influence; on the contrary he fired his Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever.

He then pronounced the affair to be a private one closed to debate.[6] According to Rasputin's daughter, Maria, Rasputin did "look into" the Khlysty sect but rejected it. One Khlyst practice was known as "rejoicing" (радение), a ritual which sought to overcome human sexual urges by engaging in group sexual activities so that, in consciously sinning together, the sin's power over the human was nullified.[13] Incidentally, she also claimed in her writing that her father had an unusually long penis. Rasputin is said to have been particularly appalled by the belief that grace is found through self-flagellation. Like many spiritually minded Russians, Rasputin spoke of salvation as depending less on the clergy and the church than on seeking the spirit of God within. He also maintained that sin and repentance were interdependent and necessary to salvation. Thus, he claimed that yielding to temptation (and, for him personally, this meant sex and alcohol), even for the purposes of humiliation (so as to dispel the sin of vanity), was needed to proceed to repentance and salvation. Rasputin was deeply opposed to war, both from a moral point of view and as something which was likely to lead to political catastrophe. During the years of World War I, Rasputin's increasing drunkenness, sexual promiscuity and willingness to accept bribes (in return for helping petitioners who flocked to his apartment), as well as his efforts to have his critics dismissed from their posts, made him appear increasingly cynical. Attaining divine grace through sin seems to have been one of the central secret doctrines which Rasputin preached to (and practiced with) his inner circle of society ladies. During World War I, Rasputin became the focus of accusations of unpatriotic influence at court; the unpopular Tsaritsa, meanwhile, was of German descent, and she came to be accused of acting as a spy in German employ. When Rasputin expressed an interest in going to the front to bless the troops early in the war, the Commander-inChief, Grand Duke Nicholas, promised to hang him if he dared to show up there. Rasputin then claimed that he had a revelation that the Russian armies would not be successful until the Tsar personally took command. With this, the ill-prepared Tsar Nicholas proceeded to take personal command of the Russian army, with dire consequences for himself as well as for Russia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grigori_Rasputi n - Accessed Aug. 10, 2010. *** Finally, the 119th Psalm, the last Psalm of the mentioned pattern (Psalm 1, 19 and 119) is the longest Psalm.

When we re-read the 18th Psalm with these facts in mind, we can clearly rewitness the reason behind the Tunguska Explosion of 1908 - how the Lord arrived on earth an landed on or hovered above the Tunguska site in His spaceship (“he rode upon a cherub”), causing the astronomical blast worth a 1,000 atomic bombs fired all at once, so that He could visit “son of man” in person, at or near Tunguska, Siberia [Russia] and finally how Rasputin was later saved from death exclusively by the Lord following his murder in 1916. Psalms 18 4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. 5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me. 6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears. 7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth. 8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

The Hejaz Railway (also Hedjaz, etc.) (Turkish: Hicaz Demiryolu) was a narrow gauge railway (1,050 mm (3 ft 5 1⁄3 in) track gauge) that ran from Damascus to Medina, through the Hejaz region of Arabia, with a branch line to Haifa, on the Mediterranean Sea. It was a part of the Ottoman railway network and was built in order to extend the previously existing line between Istanbul and Damascus (which began from the Haydarpaşa Terminal) all the way to the holy city of Mecca (eventually being able to reach only Medina due to the interruption of the construction works caused by the outbreak of World War I). The main purpose of the Hejaz Railway was to establish a connection between Constantinople, the capital of the Ottoman Empire and the seat of the Islamic Caliphate, and Hejaz in Arabia, the site of the holiest shrines of Islam and the holy city of Mecca, which is the yearly pilgrimage destination of the Hajj. Another important reason was to improve the economic and political integration of the distant Arabian provinces into the Ottoman state, and to facilitate the transportation of military forces in case of need. The railway is remarkable both for having had no debt when completed A railway had been suggested in 1864 to relieve the suffering of the hajis on their forty day journey through the wilderness of Midian, the Nafud, and the Hejaz Mountains. The railway was started in 1900 at the behest of the Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid II and was built largely by the Turks, with German advice and support. A public subscription was opened throughout the Islamic world to fund the construction. The railway was to be a waqf, an inalienable religious endowment or charitable trust.[1] Before the construction, a German military adviser in Istanbul Auler Pasha estimated that the transportation of soldiers from Istanbul to Mecca would be reduced to 120 hours.[2] Berlin to Baghdad Railway was built in the same time. Both railways were interrelated and aimed to strengthen the authority of the Empire over Arab provinces. Another intention was to protect Hejaz and other Arab provinces from a British invasion. The railway reached Medina on September 1, 1908, the anniversary of the Sultan's accession. Certain compromises had had to be made in order to finish by this date, with some sections of track being laid on temporary embankments across wadis. In 1913 a new station, the Hejaz Train Station, was opened in central Damascus as the starting point of the line (Damascus to Medina is 1,300 kilometres (810 mi)).

These were never particularly successful, but neither were the Turks able to control areas more than a mile or so either side of the tracks. Due to the locals' habit of pulling up wooden sleepers to fuel their camp-fires, some sections of the track were laid on iron sleepers. During World War I, the German Army produced shale oil from Yarmouk oil shale deposit to fuel locomotives operating on the Hejaz railway.[3][4] The line was repeatedly damaged in fighting during the war, particularly at the hands of the guerrilla force led by T. E. Lawrence during the Arab Revolt, which ambushed Ottoman trains on the railway. The Turks built a military railroad from the Hejaz line to Beersheba, inaugurating the station on October 30, 1915.[5] In World War II the Samakh Line from Haifa to Deraa in the Syrian border and to Damascus was run for the Allied forces by the New Zealand Railway Group 17th ROC from Afula, with workshops at Deraa and Haifa. The locomotives were 1914 Borsig and 1917 Hauptman from Germany and Breda from Italy. The line, previously operated by the Vichy French, was in disrepair. Trains over the steep section between Samakh (now Ma’agan) and Derea were 230 tons maximum, with 1000 tons moved in 24 hours. The Group also ran 60 miles (95 km) of branch line eg Afula to Tulkarm [6] After the fall of the Ottoman Empire, the railway never reopened south of the Jordanian-Saudi Arabian border. An attempt was made in the mid1960s, but this was abandoned due to the Six Day War in 1967. Current status Two connected but non-contiguously operated sections of the Hejaz Railway are in service: • from Amman in Jordan to Damascus in Syria, as the "Hedjaz Jordan Railway" [7]) from phosphate mines near Ma'an to the Gulf of Aqaba, as the "Aqaba Railway" • Workers on the railway have restored many of the original locomotives. There are currently nine steam locomotives in Syria and seven in Jordan in working order. Since the accession of King Abdullah II, relations between Jordan and Syria have improved, causing a revival of interest in the railway. The train, however, no longer runs from the Hejaz Station but from Qadam station in the outskirts of Damascus. In 2004 the Hejaz Station in Damascus was closed, pending a major commercial development project. On the 4th February 2009 the Turkish Transport Minister Binali Yildirim said in Riyadh regarding plans to rebuild the railway line:[8] The plan envisages restoration and modernization of the railway line by the Turkish government within its territory, while it calls on Syria and Jordan to rebuild the tracks on their sides... On the Saudi side, they do have an ambitious plan to set up railway projects... So, when these four countries (Turkey, Jordan, Syria and Saudi Arabia) come together, the entire project would be completed.

In 2008 the "museum of the rolling stock of Al-Hidjaz Railway" opened in Damascus Khadam station after major renovations for an exhibition of the locomotives. The trains run from Khadam station on the basis of customer demand (usually German, British or Swiss groups). The northern part of the Zabadani track is no longer accessible.

It took place in Paris in 1919 and involved diplomats from more than 30 countries. They met, discussed and came up with a series of treaties ("Peace of Paris Treaties") that reshaped the map of Europe and the world, and imposed guilt and stiff financial penalties on Germany. At its center were the leaders of the three "Great Powers": Presidents: Woodrow Wilson of USA; David Lloyd George of Great Britain and Georges Clemenceau of France. Germany and Russia were not invited to attend, but numerous other nations did send delegations, each with a different agenda. Kings, prime ministers and foreign ministers with their crowds of advisers rubbed shoulders with journalists and lobbyists for a hundred causes, ranging from independence for the countries of the South Caucasus to women's rights.

The 1905 French law put an end to the funding of religious groups by the state. Combes took the office in France in 1902. The French Left Coalition’s efforts led by French Prime Minister Émile Combes to separate the church and the state in France were answered by the LORD the same year.

Seven years after the 1894 syzygy, in year 1901, King Edward VII stepped up to the throne. A year later in 1902, he was coronated as the “King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, Emperor of India” - hinted in the verses with the key phrases “I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee”. 1902 was the year the British National Antarctic Expedition was launched – hinted in the 2nd Psalm with the verses: 8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. 9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. “The rod of iron” mentioned in the 9th verse alludes to the ship “Discovery” used in the expedition, and finally the verse “Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel” alludes to Antartica and the icy geography of the region.

In this he took the portfolio of the Interior, and the main energy of the government was devoted to an anticlerical agenda, partly in response to the Dreyfus Affair.[4] The parties of the Left, united upon this question in the Bloc republicain, supported Combes in his application of the law of 1901 on the religious associations, and voted the new bill on the congregations (1904), and under his guidance France took the first definite steps toward the separation of church and state. By 1904, through his efforts, nearly 10,000 religious schools had been closed and thousands of priests and nuns left France rather than be persecuted. [5] He was vigorously opposed by all the Conservative parties, who saw the mass closure of church schools as a persecution of religion. His stubborn enforcement of the law won him the applause of ordinary left wingers, who called him familiarly le petit père. However, in October 1904, his Minister of War, General André, was uncovered 'republicanizing' the army by opposing the promotion of practising Catholics. Known as the Affaire Des Fiches, the scandal weakened support for his government.[6] Finally the defection of the Radical and Socialist groups induced him to resign on 17 January 1905, although he had not met an adverse vote in the Chamber.

Because Alsace-Lorraine was at the time a part of the German Empire, the 1905 law, as well as some other pieces of legislation, did not — and still does not — apply there (see local law in Alsace-Moselle). Similarly, the 1905 law did not extend to French Guiana, at the time a colony, and to this day the local government of French Guiana continues to fund Roman Catholicism. Another modification occurred when Aristide Briand subsequently negotiated the Briand-Ceretti Agreement with the Vatican whereby the state has a role in the process of choosing diocesan bishops. While the 1905 law’s explicit intention was to deny any state-sanctioned religion, its effectual end was the crippling of the Catholic religion as an institutional force in public life by denying it, or any other religion, government funding.[3] The leading figures in the creation of the law were Aristide Briand, Émile Combes, Jean Jaurès and Francis de Pressensé. Initially, Catholics were seriously affected, as the law declared churches to be the property of the state and local governments. A point of friction was that public authorities had to hand over the buildings to religious organisations (associations cultuelles) representing laymen, instead of putting them directly under the supervision of the church hierarchy. This spurred civil disobedience and even riots by Catholics. The Holy See urged priests to fight peacefully in the name of Catholicism. Pope Pius X issued the Vehementer Nos encyclical *** The 1905 French law on the Separation of the Churches and State The 1905 French law on the Separation of the Churches and State (French: Loi du 9 décembre 1905 concernant la séparation des Églises et de l'État) was passed by the Chamber of Deputies on 9 December 1905. Enacted during the Third Republic, it established state secularism in France. France was then governed by the Bloc des gauches (Left Coalition) led by Emile Combes. The law was based on three principles: the neutrality of the state, the freedom of religious exercise, and public powers related to the church. This law is seen as the backbone of the French principle of laïcité. The law famously states "The Republic neither recognizes, nor salaries, nor subsidizes any religion". The 1905 law put an end to the funding of religious groups by the state. (The state agreed to such funding in the Concordat of 1801 as compensation for the Revolution's confiscation of Church properties—properties from which the Church would have been able to fund itself.) At the same time, it declared that all religious buildings were property of the state and local governments; the government puts such buildings at the disposal of religious organisation at no expense to these, provided that they continue to use the buildings for worship purposes.[citation needed] Other articles of the law included prohibiting Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever.

At the same time, the law did free the church from state control as well, since it could raise more funds than the modest amounts the state provided and it could choose its own bishops, as was the case for Catholics in the United States, Poland, and Ireland. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1905_French_l aw_on_the_Separation_of_the_Churches_ and_the_State - Accessed Aug. 24, 2010. concept covers other religious movements. Proponents assert laïcité is based on respect for freedom of thought and freedom of religion. Thus the absence of a state religion, and the subsequent separation of the state and Church, is considered a prerequisite for such freedom of thought. Proponents maintain that laïcité is thus distinct from anti-clericalism, which actively opposes the influence of religion and the clergy. Laïcité relies on the division between private life, where adherents believe religion belongs, and the public sphere, in which each individual, adherents believe, should appear as a simple citizen equal to all other citizens, devoid of ethnic, religious or other particularities. According to this conception, the government must refrain from taking positions on religious doctrine and only consider religious subjects for their practical consequences on inhabitants' lives. Supporters argue that Laïcité by itself does not necessarily imply any hostility of the government with respect to religion. It is best described as a belief that government and political issues should be kept separate from religious organizations and religious issues (as long as the latter do not have notable social consequences). This is meant to protect both the government from any possible interference from religious organizations, and to protect the religious organization from political quarrels and controversies. Critics of laïcité argue that it is a disguised form of anti-clericalism and individual right to religious expression, and that, instead of promoting freedom of thought and freedom of religion, it prevents the believer from observing his or her religion. In Europe today, the controversy often centers around banning of wearing *** Laïcité In French, laïcité (pronounced [la.isi te]) is a concept of a secular society, connoting the absence of religious involvement in government affairs as well as absence of government involvement in religious affairs.[1][2] During the twentieth century, it evolved to mean equal treatment of all religions, although a more restrictive interpretation of the term has developed since 2004.[3] Dictionaries ordinarily translate laïcité as secularity or secularism (the latter being the political system)[4], although it is sometimes rendered in English as "laicity" or "laicism". In its strict and official acceptance, it is the principle of separation of church (or religion) and state.[5] Etymologically, laïcité comes from the Greek λαϊκός (laïkós "of the people", "layman").[6][7] The word has been used, from the end of the 19th century on, to mean the freedom of public institutions, especially primary schools, from the influence of the Catholic Church[8] in countries where it had retained its influence, in the context of a secularization process.

Another critique is that, in countries historically dominated by one religious tradition, officially avoiding taking any positions on religious matters favors the dominant religious tradition of the relevant country. They point out that even in the current French Fifth Republic (1958–), school holidays mostly follow the Christian liturgical year, even though Easter holidays have been replaced by Spring holidays, which may or may not include Easter, depending on the years. However, the Minister of Education has responded to this criticism by giving leave to students for important holidays of their specific religions, and food menus served in secondary schools pay particular attention to ensuring that each religious observer may respect his religion's specific restrictions concerning diets. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La%C3%AFcit %C3%A9 - Accessed Aug. 24, 2010. and in 1905 France issued a Law of Separation, which separated church and state, and which the Pope denounced.

Obelisk An obelisk is a single, quadrangular, monolithic stone which is wider at the bottom and tapers gently inwards and upwards as it reaches its pyramidion summit. Sometimes the pyramidion was covered with a gold and silver alloy called electrum. The electrum cap emulated the glare of the Sun as it emitted its rays to the earth. The sides generally contain embellished inscriptions of hieroglyphs. The inscriptions were usually dedications to the Sun god or commemorations of a life of a king or queen. They were normally made in pairs to sit outside the entrances and pylons of temples. It is believed that the Ancient Egyptians associated obelisks with the rays of the sun that cascaded downwards to the earth and increased in width, creating a pyramid or obelisk image - the Egyptians thus associated the obelisk with the worship of the solar cult. The earliest known obelisk to date, was discovered in Abusir, and dates to the Old Kingdom reign of Niuserre [c.2449-2417 BC]. The squat obelisks of the 5th Century Sun temples were no more than 10 feet tall - these were called ben-ben. The obelisks were called tekhenu by the Egyptians and their modern name comes from the Greeks who called them 'little spits' which were items used for roasting meat over a fire.

There were in that temple the golden table, the holy candlestick, and the pouring vessels, and a great quantity of spices; and besides these there were among the treasures two thousand talents of sacred money: yet did Pompey touch nothing of all this, on account of his regard to religion; and in this point also he acted in a manner that was worthy of his virtue. The next day he gave order to those that had the charge of the temple to cleanse it, and to bring what offerings the law required to God; and restored the high priesthood to Hyrcanus, both because he had been useful to him in other respects, and because he hindered the Jews in the country from giving Aristobulus any assistance in his war against him."

He was the first British monarch of the House of SaxeCoburg and Gotha, which was renamed the House of Windsor by his son, George V. Before his accession to the throne, Edward held the title of Prince of Wales and was heir apparent to the throne for longer than anyone else in history.[1] During the long widowhood of his mother, Queen Victoria, he was largely excluded from political power and came to personify the fashionable, leisured elite. The Edwardian era, which covered Edward's reign and was named after him, coincided with the start of a new century and heralded significant changes in technology and society, including powered flight and the rise of socialism and the Labour movement. Edward played a role in the modernisation of the British Home Fleet, the reform of the Army Medical Services,[2] and the reorganisation of the British army after the Second Boer War. He fostered good relations between Great Britain and other European countries, especially France, for which he was popularly called "Peacemaker", but his relationship with his nephew, Wilhelm II of Germany, was poor.

Coronation [ritual] A coronation is a ceremony marking the investiture of a monarch or their consort with regal power, specifically involving the placement of a crown upon his or her head, and the presentation of other items of regalia. This rite may also include the taking of a special vow, acts of homage by the new ruler's subjects, and/or performance of other ritual deeds of special significance to a given nation. Coronations were once a vital ritual in many of the world's monarchies, but this changed over time due to a variety of socio-political and religious factors. While most monarchies have dispensed with formal coronation rites, preferring simpler enthronement, investiture, or benediction rites, coronations are still held in the United Kingdom, Tonga and several Asian countries. In common usage, "coronation" often simply refers to the official investiture or enthronement of the monarch, whether an actual crown is bestowed or not. In addition to the investing of the monarch with a diadem and other symbols of state, coronations often involve anointing with holy oil, or chrism as it is often called. Wherever a ruler is anointed in this way, as in Great Britain and Tonga, this ritual takes on an overtly religious significance, following examples found in the Bible. Some other lands use bathing or cleansing rites, the drinking of a sacred beverage, or other religious practices to achieve a comparable effect. Such acts symbolise the granting of divine favour to the monarch within the relevant spiritual-religious paradigm of the country. *** Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever.

Nevertheless, the Egyptian view of Ra, the Sun-god, is striking. Ra was known to give birth to a Son at certain intervals. “The Son of Ra” could only be a phaorah; a king with an army under his command – a mandatory qualification expected of the awaited Messiah of the Hebrews. *** It is interesting to note that “the Egyptian Pharaoh was believed to be the son of Ra, the Sun god”. The concept of Sun giving birth to a son (a king or a president with an army at his disposal) started with the Egyptians. Coronation [history] In the past, concepts of royalty, coronation and deity were often inexorably linked. In some ancient cultures, rulers were considered to be divine or partially divine: the Egyptian Pharaoh was believed to be the son of Ra, the sun god, while in Japan the Emperor was believed to be a descendant of Amaterasu, the sun goddess. Rome promulgated the practice of emperor worship; in Medieval Europe, monarchs claimed to have a divine right to rule. Coronations were once a direct visual expression of these alleged connections, but recent centuries have seen the lessening of such beliefs due to increasing secularization and democratization. Thus coronations (or their religious elements, at least) have often been discarded altogether, or altered to reflect the constitutional nature of the states in which they are held. However, some monarchies still Ra Ra (alternately spelled Ré), Egyptian *ri:ʕu, is the ancient Egyptian sun god. By the Fifth Dynasty he had become a major deity in ancient Egyptian religion, identified primarily with the mid-day sun. The meaning of the name is uncertain, but it is thought that if not a word for 'sun' it may be a variant of or linked to words meaning 'creative'. All forms of life were believed to have been created by Ra, who called each of them into existence by speaking their secret names. Alternatively humans were created from Ra's tears and sweat, hence the Egyptians call themselves the "Cattle of Ra." Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All rights reserved. 65 To the Egyptians, the sun represented light, warmth, and growth. This made the sun deity very important and the sun was seen as the ruler of all that he created. The sun disk was either seen as the body or eye of Ra. Ra was thought to travel on two solar boats called the Mandjet (the Boat of Millions of Years), or morning boat and the Mesektet, or evening boat. These boats took him on his journey through the sky and the underworld. His local cult began to grow from roughly the second dynasty, establishing Ra as a sun deity. By the fourth dynasty the pharaohs were seen to be Ra's manifestations on earth, referred to as "Sons of Ra". His worship increased massively in the fifth dynasty, when he became a state deity and pharaohs had specially aligned pyramids, obelisks, and solar temples built in his honour. The first Pyramid Texts began to arise, giving Ra more and more significance in the journey of the pharaoh through the underworld. The rise of Christianity in the Roman empire caused an end to the worship of Ra by the citizens of Egypt[3], and as Ra's popularity suddenly died out, the study of Ra became purely for academic knowledge even among the Egyptian priests.[4] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ra - Accessed Aug. 24, 2010 Cleopatra's Needle in Central Park, New York http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Obelisk_Ce ntral_Park.jpg - Accessed Aug. 24, 2010. *** *** Many obelisks were erected in honor of the Son God Ra by the “Sons of the Sun” - pharoahs.

The key phrase “uttermost parts of the earth” alludes to none but Antartica and the “rod of iron” mentioned in the 9th verse alludes to the ship “Discovery” used in the expedition. Finally, the verse “Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel” alludes to the icy geography of the region. Until the expedition of Sir James Ross, no serious attempt had been made to penetrate the Antarctic. For many years Arctic exploration was inspired by greed with the idea being that it was possible to find a way round the north of America to the Indies. In trying to carry out such a scheme, Florida was discovered. Never-the-less, in this search for the North-West passage, we have one reason why Arctic exploration has so long held the palm from Antarctic. The glamour attaching to the early endeavours to find a route to India was transferred later to attempts to find a waterway to the North Pole; and after all the North Pole is nearer to European countries, and particularly to Britain, than is the South. This, perhaps, accounts, in more ways than one, for the preference which has been shown for Arctic as opposed to Antarctic exploration. It is from Europe and America that expeditions have sprung. The North Pole lies as it were, at the threshold of these two continents. It is so near, and of late years the attempt to reach it has become a sort of religion. And yet the South Pole is far more interesting, perhaps in proportion to its isolation. For it is isolated, and there is nothing more remarkable in geography than the way in which land stretches away towards the North Pole, and may possibly even reach it, while the South Pole and surroundings - whether of land or ice - are separated by many miles from the nearest land. A map hardly conveys to the observer a sense of the isolation of the Southern White Land to which the Discovery has gone - unless the reader of the chart be a little above the average. The interest of Antarctic exploration among civilised nations is a plant of recent growth. It has taken root, but we are not sure that even now it is flourishing as strongly as it ought to do.

Then the Belgica wintered in the Antarctic pack, and in 1894 the Antarctic spent some time in exploration. The next attempt was that of the Southern Cross, commanded by Mr Borchgrevink, and this vessel carried out systematic exploration, and an expedition from her reached the most southern latitude yet attained. The Discovery which is shown in our picture leaving Port Chalmers, New Zealand, on her fateful voyage of discovery, will we may fairly hope extend the information acquired by these antecedent voyages. Her skipper, Captain Scott, is a naval officer of well-known scientific attainments, and he is well supported by his officers, and the picked men who form his crew. A relief ship, we believe, is to be sent out, and there are other expeditions exploring the same region, so that a certain amount of cooperation is conceivable. That this cooperation will take place if practicable is certain, but we know so little of the region in which the explorations are being conducted that no-one can say what the chances are for or against the meeting of the various expeditions. At any rate it is permissible to indulge in high anticipations as to results. An isolated Australia has yielded some strange types of animals resembling those extinct in Europe in pre-historic times. If there exists any flora and fauna in the ice-bound regions surrounding the South Pole, may we not anticipate that they will be cognate to species now extinct in Europe rather than to those with which we are familiar today? http://www.battleshipscruisers.co.uk/naval_expeditions.htm Accessed Aug. 24, 2010 Antarctic expedition ship Discovery anchored to the ice, 1902 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Discovery_ alongside_Barrier.jpg - Accessed Aug. 24, 2010 British National Antarctic Expedition The British National Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, generally known as the Discovery Expedition, was the first official British exploration of the Antarctic regions since James Clark Ross's voyage sixty years earlier. Organized on a large scale under a joint committee of the Royal Society and the Royal Geographical Society (RGS), the new expedition aimed to carry out scientific research and geographical exploration in what was then largely an untouched continent. It launched the Antarctic careers of many who would become leading figures in the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration, including Robert Falcon Scott who led the expedition, Ernest Shackleton, Edward Wilson, Frank Wild, Tom Crean and William Lashly. Its scientific results covered extensive ground in biology, zoology, geology, meteorology and magnetism. There were important geological and zoological discoveries, including those of the snow-free McMurdo Dry Valleys and the Cape Crozier Emperor Penguin colony.

Introduction The phrase “holy hill” is found in the 2nd, 3rd, 15th , 43rd and the 99th Psalms that point to years 1902, 1903, 1915, 1943 and 1999 respectively. Where on earth is this “holy hill” [mentioned five times in the 3rd Psalm] located at? Let’s study the mentioned years and try to come up with an answer. 1902 -----------------------------------------Psalms 2:6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. 1915 -----------------------------------------Psalms 15:1 <> LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? As we already know by now, the 15th Psalm points to year 1915 events. Following the death of St. Pius X, in late 1914 Pope Benedict XV was coronated in Vatican as the new Pope - hinted in the 15th Psalm with the verse: Psalms 15:1 <> LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? The 2nd Psalm mentions “holy hill of Zion” – Mt. Olympus on Mars [the “Most High” mountain in our Solar System], as we have exhibited in Psalms Code. In 1902, Edward VII was coronated as the King of Britain [and biblically speaking as the “Son of God”]. 1903 -----------------------------------------Psalms 3:4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. 1943 -----------------------------------------3 O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles. In year 1943 the 43rd Psalms points at the Nazi German troops of Hitler invaded the Vatican City - hinted in the same Psalm with the verses: Psalms 43: 1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man. 2 For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? The “holy hill” mentioned in the 3rd Psalm above points to a place on earth. A “hill-to-hill” communication is hinted in this Psalm. The holy man located on a holy hill on earth “cries” to the Lord who dwells in another holy hill out in the Solar System, and the Lord hears him. Pope Leo XIII died in 1903, shortly after [Son of God] King Edward VII’s visit to him. 1903 is also the year Pope St. Pius X was coronated in Vatican as the new Pope – the “Holy Father”. Within the same year, Vatican was bombed by a British plane. Finally, 1943 was the year Pope Pius XII delivered “Mystici Corporis Christi” and declared the Church as the “Mystical Body of Christ” - prior to the German and British attacks on the Vatican City within the same year.

All rights reserved. 77 1999 -----------------------------------------Psalms 99:9 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy. 5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me. Year 1999 the 99th Psalm points at was a major year for the Vatican and thus the Roman Catholic Christians. “The Great Jubilee” celebration was to be launched on December 24, 1999 in honor of the start of the third millennium since the birth of Christ. The celebration event ["Exalt the LORD"] was to continue till January 6, 2001. The phrase “holy hill” highlights none but the Vatican Hill and the landmark of the Roman Catholic Church - St. Peter’s Basilica, built on top of it. The Vatican was under the siege of the Italian army between 1861 and 1929. The Popes of the period considered themselves to be a “prisoner in the Vatican”. The dispute is known as the “Roman Question”, hinted in the Psalm with the verse “I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about”. Pope Leo XIII died in 1903, shortly after King Edward VII’s visit to him. 1903 is also the year Pope St. Pius X was coronated in Vatican as the new Pope – the “Holy Father”. Upon the death of a pope, the new pope is elected by the votes of the Cardinals. “The pope is considered by Catholics as the earthly head of the Catholic Church”, hinted in the 3rd Psalm with the verse: “But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head”. The new Pope [“mine head”] was coronated [“lifte(d) up”] in 1903 – as signaled in the 3rd Psalm with the verse: Finally, 40 years later in year 1943, Pope Pius XII delivered “Mystici Corporis Christi” and officially declared Christ as the body of the Church. In 1903, Howard Carter found the tomb of Hatshepsut - a rare female Pharoah of ancient Egypt. The pharaoh was considered to be the “Son of the Sun” by the Egyptians. Hathsheput, on the other hand, was a woman. Hatshepsut was a female phaorah. She [at times] disguised herself wearing a false beard. She reigned for 22 years, won several wars and brought fame and abundance to Egypt. As we already know by now, the Pharoah ruling Egypt was considered to be the “Son of God”, or “God Himself”. Hatshepsut, on the other hand, was a woman. Moreover, one of her seals bears the title “God’s Wife Hatshepsut”. Hatshepsut not being a male phaorah, a “Son of the Sun”, and calling herself “God’s Wife” may have been considered as an abomination, or as “ungodly”. Nevertheless, the sarcophagus of Hatshepsut was discovered in year 1903 and identified with her broken tooth sitting in a box that bore her name in year 2007 – “hinted in the 3rd Psalm with the verse “[thou hast] broken [the] teeth of the ungodly”. In between the lines, the Bible hints us that Hatshepsut did not die a natural death but was rather killed – possibly by Thutmose III, her stepson and successor, who tried to erase all references made to her on Egyptian monuments following her death hinted in the verses with the line: “thou hath broken the teeth of the ungodly”. Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All rights reserved. 78 Hatshepsut was Thutmose’s stepmother and aunt. The successor of Hatshepsut was Thutmose III. Thutmose III reigned for about 30 years in Egypt following Hatshepsut’s death. He is known as one of Egypt’s greatest conqueror or “the Napoleon of Egypt” – hinted in the 3rd Psalm with the verse “for thou hast smitten all mine enemies”. One of the most striking facial feature of the mummy of Thutmose III was his “cheek bones” that were found to be “extremely prominent” - signaled in the verses with the phrase “upon the cheek bone”. 1903 was the year Hatshepsut’s tomb was found by Howard Carter. The tomb had another sarcophagus in it that belonged to the father of Hatshepsut, the grandfather of Thutmose III – Thutmose I. All in all, Thutmose III may be considered as the primary suspect behind [“Wife of God”] Hatshepsut’s death, the eraser of her memory from all Egyptian monuments, and the mover of her sarcophagus from its original location that was discovered in 1903. The obelisks Thutmose III ordered to be built during his reign became the landmarks of the Catholic Faith and the Western Civilization centuries later. His obelisks were re-erected in world capitals Rome, London, New York and Constantinople (Istanbul) where they still stand now. Following the discovery of the sarcaphagi of his step-mother Hatshepsut and grandfather Thutmose I, the tomb of Thutmose III’s grandson Thutmose IV was also discovered in year 1903. Finally, the year 1903 was the year the first x-ray study of a mummy [the mummy of Thutmose IV] was conducted. Just as the ancient Egyptian obelisks were built in pairs, certain “ancient” cities on earth seem to have “twin” or parallel fates. The Vatican and Tibet pair is the most noteworthy. Vatican is the center of the Catholic Faith, whereas Tibet is the home of Buddhist school of thought. The Pope in Vatican is the “head” of the Church and of the Vatican State, just as the incarnated Dalai Lama is the head and the ruler of Tibet. While Vatican and the Pope were under the siege of the Italian Army in 1903, Tibet and the Dalai Lama of the day were under the siege of the British Armed Forces the same year. At the end of the siege years later, both cities ended up being “citystates” – autonomous, self-ruling, and independent from any overruling government, with an identity and a flag of their own that belonged to no other. The verses that allude to Vatican thus the Vatican Hill [the “holy hill” of the LORD] are also valid for Tibet just the same – the site of another holy hill of the LORD: Mount Everest, where Tibet is located at.

Pius X rejected modernist interpretations of Catholic doctrine, promoting traditional devotional practices and orthodox theology. His most important reform was to publish the first Code of Canon Law, which collected the laws of the Church into one volume for the first time. He was a pastoral pope, encouraging personal piety and a lifestyle reflecting Christian values.

All rights reserved. 83 The phrase “holy hill” highlights none but the Vatican Hill and the landmark of the Roman Catholic Church - St. Peter’s Basilica, built on top of it. Vatican Hill Vatican Hill (in Latin, MONS VATICANVS ) is the name given, long before the founding of Christianity, to one of the hills on the side of the Tiber opposite the traditional seven hills of Rome. It may have been the site of an Etruscan town called Vaticum. The root of the word "Vatican" is derived from the Latin "vates", meaning "seer, soothsayer", which in turn is an Etruscan loan-word. [1] Indeed, the Vatican Hill was the home of the Vates long before pre-Christian Rome. Vaticanus, also know as Vagitanus, was an Etruscan god of prophecy, and his temple was built on the ancient site of Vaticanum (Vatican Hill). [2] In the 1st century A.D., the Vatican Hill was outside the city limits and so could feature a circus (the circus of Nero) and a cemetery. St. Peter's Basilica is built over this cemetery, the traditional site of St. Peter the Apostle's grave. There was another cemetery nearby, which was opened to the public on 10 October 2006, to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the Vatican Museums.[3] The Vatican Hill is not one of the famous seven hills of Rome, although it was included within the city limits of Rome during the reign of Pope Leo IV, who, between 848 and 852, expanded the city walls to protect St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican. Thus, Vatican Hill has been within the walls and city limits of Rome (until the Lateran Treaties in 1929 it was part the Rione of Borgo) for over 1100 years. Before the Avignon Papacy (1305– 1378), the headquarters of the Holy See were located at the Lateran Palace. After the Avignon Papacy the church administration moved to Vatican Hill and the papal palace was (until 1871) the Quirinal Palace, upon the Quirinal Hill. Since 1929, part of the Vatican Hill is the site of the State of the Vatican City. However, the cathedral of the Bishop of Rome, the Pope, is not St. Peter's in the Vatican, but Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano, which is extraterritorially linked, as indicated in the Lateran Pacts signed with the Italian state in 1929, with the Holy See. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vatican_Hill Accessed Sept. 5, 2010. *** The context of the entire Psalm illustrates the Church (“the body of Christ”), the Pope (“the head of the Church”) and how the Papal succession is the“sustained” life of the head, body and soul of Christ delivered time after time by the LORD through the lives of the Popes. The LORD exclusively protected the Church (“the body of Christ” or “my glory”) and enabled Papal succession (“the lifter up of mine head”) hinted in the 3rd verse with the line: “But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up mine head”. The Popes die, new ones are elected but it is all a sleep and another awakening for Christ (“I laid me down and slept, I awaked; for the LORD sustained me”). Finally, Christ, known for his salvation, credits the LORD for the blessing: “Salvation belongth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah”.

The Popes of the period considered themselves to be a “prisoner in the Vatican”. The dispute is known as the “Roman Question”, hinted in the Psalm with the verse “I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about”. A Prisoner in the Vatican A prisoner in the Vatican or prisoner of the Vatican (Italian: prigioniero del Vaticano) is how Pope Pius IX described himself following the capture of Rome by the armed forces of the Kingdom of Italy on 20 September 1870. Part of the process of Italian unification, the city's capture ended the millennial temporal rule of the popes over central Italy and allowed Rome to be designated the capital of the new nation. The appellation is also applied to Pius's successors through Pius XI. As nationalism swept the Italian peninsula in the 19th century, efforts to unify Italy were blocked in part by the Papal States, which ran through the middle of the peninsula and included the ancient capital of Rome. The Papal States were able to fend off efforts to conquer them largely through the pope's influence over the leaders of stronger European powers such as France and Austria. When Rome was eventually taken, the Italian government reportedly intended to let the pope keep that part of Rome, west of the Tiber, called the Leonine City as a small remaining Papal State, but Pius IX refused.[1] One week after entering Rome, the Italian troops had taken the entire city save for the Apostolic Palace; the inhabitants of the city then voted to join Italy.[2] For the next 59 years, the popes refused to leave the Vatican in order to avoid any appearance of accepting the authority wielded by the Italian government over Rome as a whole. During this period, popes also refused to appear at Saint Peter's Square or at the balcony of the Vatican Basilica facing it, as the square in front of the Basilica was occupied by the Italian troops. During this period, popes granted the "Urbi et Orbi" blessings from a balcony facing a courtyard, or from inside the Basilica, and Papal The Roman Question The Roman Question (Italian: La Questione romana) was a political dispute between the Italian Government and the Papacy from 1861 to 1929. The Roman Question began when Rome was declared Capital of Italy on March 27, 1861, and ended with the Lateran Pacts between Mussolini's government and Pope Pius XI. After the capture of Rome on 20 September 1870, the popes considered themselves (in the words of Pope Pius IX) "prisoners in the Vatican". After the Lateran Pacts were signed in 1929, the Popes regularly visited parts of Rome outside the Vatican. In particular, they took possession, after their election, of their cathedral, the Basilica of St. John Lateran, situated on the opposite side of the city. They also went to their summer residence at Castel Gandolfo, which has extraterritorial privileges, like an embassy, but is not part of the Vatican City State. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Questi on - Accessed Sept. 5, 2010.

Other Egyptologists not involved in the project said that the finding was fascinating, but that they would reserve judgment until they had studied the results of the DNA analysis and had some of the evidence confirmed by other researchers. “You have to be so careful in reaching conclusions from such data,” said Kathryn Bard, an Egyptologist at Boston University. Dr. Bard said, however, that it was not surprising that Hatshepsut’s mummy would turn up in a humble tomb, not the more elaborate one presumably intended for her. She noted that the queen’s stepson Thutmose III, after he succeeded to the throne on her death, “tried to destroy every trace of her and her reign,” so it was likely that her preserved body was hidden in another burial chamber for safekeeping. The search for Hatshepsut’s mummy by Egyptian archaeologists and medical scientists will be described in a television program, “Secrets of the Lost Queen of Egypt,” scheduled for July 15 on the Discovery Channel. As Dr. Hawass tells the story, he was approached by the Discovery Channel to apply new scientific technology to the search for the lost mummy. He thought the odds of success were slim, but looked upon the project as an Some archaeologists say they have evidence that this mummy, found in an obscure and unadorned tomb in the Valley of the Kings, is Hatshepsut, one of the great queens of ancient Egypt, who died at about age 50. A single tooth and some DNA clues appear to have solved the mystery of the lost mummy of Hatshepsut, one of the great queens of ancient Egypt, who reigned in the 15th century B.C. Archaeologists who conducted the research, to be announced formally today in Cairo, said this was the first mummy of an Egyptian ruler to be found and “positively identified” since King Tutankhamun’s tomb was opened in 1922. Zahi Hawass, secretary general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities in Cairo, said Monday in a telephone interview that the mummy was found in 1903 in an obscure, undecorated tomb in the Valley of the Kings, across the Nile from modern Luxor, and had been largely overlooked for more than a century. Dr. Hawass said the identification of the well-preserved mummy as Hatshepsut (pronounced hat-shepSOOT) was made a few weeks ago when a CT scan of a wooden box associated with the queen revealed a tooth.

To the frustration of archaeologists, royal Egyptian mummies were often moved from their original tombs and hidden in less conspicuous ones to stymie would-be plunderers. Identifying marks were frequently lost in the transfer. Dr. Hawass and his team began the search at Tomb 60. Howard Carter, the British archaeologist who discovered the King Tut tomb, had excavated these smaller chambers in 1903. He found two mummies there: one in a coffin inscribed for a royal nurse, the other stretched out on the floor. On a recent visit to Tomb 60, Dr. Hawass examined the mummy that had been on the floor, the obese one. Her left arm was bent at the elbow, with the hand over her chest. Her right arm lay against her side. The fingernails of the left hand were painted red and outlined in black. She was bald in front, with long hair in back. Seeing the arrangement of her arms, Dr. Hawass said, “I believed at once that she was royal, but had no real opinion as to who she might be.” Other Egyptologists also saw the left arm on the chest as a royal characteristic. But Dr. Bard of Boston University said that royal mummies were usually laid out with both hands crossed at the chest. In the search, Dr. Hawass had radiologists make CT scans of six unidentified female mummies as well as some objects associated with them. The last of these examined objects was a wooden box bearing the name Hatshepsut. The box had been recovered from yet another tomb. The container held some of the viscera removed from the body during embalming. Everything associated with a royal body or its mummification was carefully and ritually preserved. Late one night recently, the box was subjected to the CT scan. “It turned out that this box held the key to the riddle,” Dr. Hawass said. The images revealed a well-preserved liver and the tooth. A dentist, Dr. Galal El-Beheri of Cairo University, was called in. He studied the images of the mummy collection, and the tooth seemed to belong to the obese mummy. Further CT scans led physicians to conclude that the woman was about 50 when she died. She was overweight and had bad teeth. She probably had diabetes and died of bone cancer, which had spread through her body. Dr. Hawass said the DNA research into the possible Hatshepsut mummy was continuing, and he was vague about when the results would be reported. But early tests of mitochondrial DNA, he said, showed a relationship between the mummy and the matriarch Ahmose Nefertari. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/27/world/ middleeast/27mummy.html - Accessed Sept. 5, 2010. *** In between the lines, the Bible hints us that Hatshepsut did not die a natural death but was rather killed – possibly by Thutmose III, her stepson and successor, who tried to erase all references made to her on Egyptian monuments following her death hinted in the verses with the line: “thou hath broken the teeth of the ungodly”.

The beautifully carved sarcophagus of Hatshepsut "was discovered open with no sign of a body, and with the lid lying discarded on the floor;" it is now housed in the Cairo Museum along with a matching yellow quartzite canopic chest.[31] A second sarcophagus, was found lying on its side with its almost undamaged lid propped against the wall nearby; it was eventually presented to Theodore M. Davis, the excavation's financial sponsor as a gesture of appreciation for his generous financial support.[32] Davis would, in turn, present it to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. The second quartzite sarcophagus had originally been engraved with the name of "the King of Upper and Lower Egypt, Maatkare Hatchepsut."[33] However, when the sarcophagus was complete, Hatshepsut decided to commission an entirely new sarcophagus for herself while she donated the existing finished sarcophagus to her father, Thutmose I.[34] The stonemasons then attempted to erase the original carvings by restoring the surface of the quartzite so that it could be re-carved with the name and titles of Tuthmose I instead. This quartzite sarcophagus measures 7 feet long by 3 feet wide with walls 5 inches thick and bears a dedication text which records Hatshepsut's generosity towards her father: "…long live the Female Horus….

Thutmose III, Hatshepsut's successor, decided to reinter his grandfather in an even more magnificent tomb, KV38, which featured another yellow sarcophagus dedicated to Thutmose I and inscribed with texts which proclaimed this pharaoh's love for his deceased grandfather.[36] Unfortunately, however, Thutmose I's remains would be disturbed late during the 20th dynasty when KV38 was plundered; the sarcophagus' lid was broken and all this king's valuable precious jewellry and grave goods were stolen.[37] Thutmose I's mummy was ultimately discovered in the Deir el-Bahri Cache above the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, revealed in 1881. http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entr y/Thutmose_I - Accessed Sept. 5, 2010. was named the pharaoh.

After her death and his later rise to being the pharaoh of the kingdom, he created the largest empire Egypt had ever seen; no fewer than seventeen campaigns were conducted, and he conquered from Niya in north Syria to the fourth waterfall of the Nile in Nubia. Officially, Thutmose III ruled Egypt for almost fifty-four years, and his reign is usually dated from April 24, 1479 BC to March 11, 1425 BC; (1504 BC to 1450 BC according High Chronology) however, this includes the twenty-two years he was co-regent to Hatshepsut—his stepmother and aunt. During the final two years of his reign, he appointed his son—and successor-Amenhotep II, as his junior co-regent. When Thutmose III died, he was buried in the Valley of the Kings as were the rest of the kings from this period in Egypt. Thutmose III was the son of Thutmose II by a secondary wife, Iset.[4] Because he was the pharaoh's only son, he would have become the first in line for the throne when Thutmose II died.

Thutmosis III had little power over the empire while Hatshepsut exercised the formal titulary of kingship, complete with a royal praenomen—Maatkare. Her rule was quite prosperous and marked by great advancements. When he reached a suitable age and demonstrated the capability, she appointed him to head her armies. After the death of Hatshepsut, Thutmosis III ruled Egypt on his own for thirty years, until the last two years of his reign, when his son became a coregent for two years. He died in his fifty-fourth regal year. Thutmosis III had two known wives: Satiah and Merytre-Hatshepsut. Satiah bore him his firstborn son, Amenemhat, but the child predeceased his father. His successor, the crown prince and future king Amenhotep II, was born to MerytreHatshepsut. Widely considered a military genius by historians, Thutmose III made 16 raids in 20 years. He was an active expansionist ruler, sometimes called Egypt's greatest conqueror or "the Napoleon of Egypt."[13] He is recorded to have captured 350 cities during his rule and conquered much of the Near East from the Euphrates to Nubia during seventeen known military campaigns. He was the first Pharaoh after Thutmose I to cross the Euphrates, doing so during his campaign against Mitanni. His campaign records were transcribed onto the walls of the temple of Amun at Karnak, and are now transcribed into Urkunden IV. He is consistently regarded as one of the greatest of Egypt's warrior pharaohs, who transformed Egypt into an international superpower by creating an empire that stretched from southern Syria through to Canaan and Nubia.[14] In most of his campaigns his enemies were defeated town by town, until being beaten into submission. The preferred tactic was to subdue a much weaker city or state one at a time resulting in surrender of each fraction until complete domination was achieved. Much is known about Thutmosis "the warrior", not only because of his military achievements, but also because of his royal scribe and army commander, Thanuny, who wrote about his conquests and reign. The prime reason why Thutmosis was able to conquer such a large number of lands, is because of the revolution and improvement in army weapons. He encountered only little resistance from neighbouring kingdoms, allowing him to expand his realm of influence easily. His army also had carried boats on dry land. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thutmose_III Accessed Sept. 5, 2010. *** The obelisks Thutmose III ordered to be built during his reign became the landmarks of the Catholic Faith and the Western Civilization centuries later.

Constantine died before the obelisk ever left Egypt and his son and successor Constantius II [337-361 AD] had the obelisk transported to Rome. Constantius had it erected in the central reservation [spina] of the Circo Massimo in 357 AD. At the time, the Circo Massimo was the Grand Stadium of Ancient Rome. Sometime before the 16th Century, the obelisk was felled and lost. We do not know how or why this happened for sure, but an earthquake is the obvious reason. During the 16th Century, the Pope Sixtus V, ordered a search for the obelisk and it was found in 1587, 23 feet beneath the now former Circo Massimo. It was broken in 3 pieces. It was raised on 3rd August 1588 at its present place before the Church of St John Lateran at the Piazza di San Giovanni in Laterano. Before it was erected, the Pope had a Christian cross attached to its apex and this area became the centre of medieval Catholicism. Tuthmosis III built extensively at Karnak as well as ordering several obelisks to be erected and it is not known exactly where the Lateran Obelisk was originally placed. The most probable place was at the far eastern side of the Karnak complex at a temple called the 'Temple of the Hearing Ear', where a building of halls and colonnades were dominated by a base for a single obelisk. It was called Hearing Ear because it was where the Ancient Egyptians presented their prayers to the god Amun. The height of the Lateran Obelisk is 32.18 meters or 105.6 feet. It was originally 36 meters, but part of it was cut off from the base when it was moved from the Circo Massimo in 1587. The sides at the base of the obelisk is nine feet square and at the top, the sides of the base of the pyramidion measures six feet two inches square. If you include the base of the obelisk, it measures 42 meters in height. The weight of the obelisk is estimated at 455 tons. The obelisk was carved out of red granite, probably from the Northern Quarry site of Aswan. We can make this assumption because many of the obelisks with the similar red granite, were hewn from the same site. Even what was supposed to be the largest obelisk ever attempted, was being hewn there - it could even have been intended for a companion to the Lateran Obelisk. It has been assumed that Tuthmosis III died before the Lateran Obelisk was completed so work was not finished. However, it is my belief that when the 'Unfinished' obelisk was found to be faulty, work stopped on the nearly completed Lateran Obelisk and that was the reason that it laid on its side on the south-side of Karnak, for 35 years before Tuthmosis IV continued its erection. Tuthmosis erected the Lateran Obelisk in the solar court of Karnak and it emulated the single, smaller and more squat ben-ben stone of Heliopolis. http://www.theancientegyptians.com/Latera n.htm - Accessed Sept. 5, 2010. *** 98 Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever.

While Vatican and the Pope were under the siege of the Italian Army in 1903, Tibet and the Dalai Lama of the day were under the siege of the British Armed Forces the same year.

The effects on Tibet, despite greater casualties and some economic disruption, were also not significant, and any changes were not long retained. The causes of the war are obscure, and it seems to have been provoked primarily by rumours circulating amongst the Calcutta-based British administration (Delhi not being the capital until 1911) that the Chinese government, (who nominally ruled Tibet), were planning to give it to the Russians, thus providing Russia with a direct route to British India and breaking the chain of semiindependent, mountainous bufferstates which separated India from the Russian Empire to the north. These rumours were confirmed seemingly by the facts of Russian exploration of Tibet. Russian explorer Gombojab Tsybikov was the first photographer of Lhasa, residing in it during 1900—1901 with the aid of the thirteenth Dalai Lama's Russian courtier Agvan Dorjiyev. In view of the rumours, the Viceroy, Lord Curzon, during 1903 sent a request to the governments of China and Tibet for negotiations to be held at Khampa Dzong, a tiny Tibetan village north of Sikkim to establish trade agreements. The Chinese were willing, and ordered the thirteenth Dalai Lama to attend. However, the Dalai Lama refused, and also refused to provide transport to enable the amban (the Chinese official based in Lhasa), You Tai, to attend. Curzon concluded that China did not have any power or authority to compel the Tibetan government, and gained approval from London to send a military expedition, commanded by Colonel Francis Younghusband, to Khampa Dzong. On July 19, 1903, Younghusband arrived at Gangtok, the capital city of the Indian state of Sikkim, to prepare for his mission. A letter from the undersecretary to the government of India to Younghusband on July 26, 1903 stated that "In the event of your meeting the Dalai Lama, the government of India authorizes you to give him the assurance which you suggest in your letter." The British took a few months to prepare for the expedition which pressed into Tibetan territories in early December 1903. The entire British force numbered over 3,000 fighting men and was accompanied by 7,000 sherpas, porters and camp followers. The Tibetans were aware of the expedition. To avoid bloodshed the Tibetan general at Yetung pledged that if the British made no attack upon the Tibetans, he would not attack the British. Colonel Younghusband replied, on December 6, 1903, that "we are not at war with Tibet and that, unless we are ourselves attacked, we shall not attack the Tibetans". When no Tibetan or Chinese officials met the British at Khapma Dzong, Younghusband advanced, with some 1,150 soldiers, 10,000 porters and labourers, and thousands of pack animals, to Tuna, fifty miles beyond the border. After waiting more months there, hoping in vain to be met by negotiators, the expedition received orders (during 1904) to continue toward Lhasa.[1] Tibet's government, guided by the Dalai Lama was understandably unhappy about the presence of a large acquisitive foreign power dispatching a military mission to its capital, and began marshalling its armed forces. The government was aware that help could not be expected from the Chinese government, and so intended to use their arduous terrain and Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever.

The British authorities had also thought of the difficulty of mountain fighting, and so dispatched a force with many Gurkha and Pathan troops, who were from mountainous regions. The entire British force numbered just over 3,000 fighting men and was accompanied by 7,000 sherpas, porters and camp followers. Permission for the operation was received from London, but it is not known whether the Balfour government was completely aware of the difficulty of the operation, or of the Tibetan intention to resist it. The British mission departed during late September 1904, after a ceremonial presentation of gifts. In the event, neither side could be too unhappy with the outcome of the war. Britain had "won" and had received the agreements it desired, but without actually receiving any tangible results. The Tibetans had lost the war but had seen China humbled in its failure to defend their client state from foreign incursion, and had pacified the invader by signing an unenforceable and largely irrelevant treaty. Damage to civilian life and property was virtually nil, and there are not any contemporary reports of looting or wanton destruction by the soldiers of either side. Captured Tibetan troops were all released without condition upon the war's conclusion, many after receiving medical treatment. Some Chinese historians of a much later date have attempted to portray this as a series of savage massacres of unarmed men during a vicious war of expansion, but apart from the controversial beginning battle at Guru, such tragedies did not occur, the war instead being conducted with the minimum possible bloodshed, all British commanders being mindful of their own government, where their actions were thoroughly scrutinized at the distance of some weeks. It was in fact the reaction in London which was fiercest in condemnation of the war. By the Edwardian period, colonial wars had become increasingly unpopular, and public and political opinion were unhappy with the waging of a war for such slight reasons as those provided by Curzon, and with the beginning battle, which was described in Britain as something of a deliberate massacre of unarmed men. It was only the support given to them by King Edward VII that provided Younghusband, Macdonald, Grant and others with the recognition they did eventually receive for what was quite a remarkable feat of arms in taking an army in such a remote, high-altitude location, driving through courageous defenders during freezing weather in difficult positions and achieving all their objectives in just six months, losing just 202 men to enemy action and 411 to other causes. Tibetan casualties have never been calculated, but must have reached the several thousands during the course of 16 major and minor actions, including two battles. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_expediti on_to_Tibet - Accessed Sept. 5, 2010. *** Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever.

And why is this anonymous person complaining about a matter that concerns leasing? And what does that leasing-related event has to do with year 1904? Without the King James Version of the Old Testament, we would never have known what this verse has referred to all along. It’s the only major Bible translation that uses the word “leasing” that is crucial to the correct interpretation of the entire Psalm. We need more clues, though. As always, Psalm provides the right clues at the right time! Here is what the 4th verse reads: “… sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still.” future destruction that awaited the island of Sicily, the home of the Sicilian mafia, is hinted in the next Psalm with the verse: Psalms 5: 6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man. The “bloody” and the “deceitful man” alluded is none other than the mafia, and the hometown they lived in - Sicily, Italy. All in all, we have the Vatican in the heart of Italy, in Rome – the home of the Roman Catholic Church, and just miles from it sits the island of Sicily, the hometown of “the bloody and the deceitful man” – the Sicilian mafia. Such a picture not only harms the image (“the glory”) of the Vatican and the Church, thus Jesus Christ, but also threatens the concept of “good” and “grace”; raising questions regarding the true power (if any) of “sin” and “evil” in the eyes of the faithful. One of the other parallels between Vatican and Tibet is how the two “holy hills” have always fought to remain as self-ruling, self-governing city states. The Pope is the head of the Vatican State, and Dalai Lama is the head of Tibet. Vatican was under the siege of the Italian Army in 1904 and Tibet was invaded by the British Armed Forces the same year. The Pope refused to be a part of the State of Italy, and Dalai Lama refused to be governed by China. When we look back in history, Hammurabi received the first set of laws known to man in the city of Ur in Sumer – one of the first city-states. When Phaorah Akhenaten chose Aten as the state deity of worship, he sought out a virgin land that was free from the The voice speaking is none other than Jesus Christ figuratively through the Church – the Vatican (“his body”), and the new Pope (“his head”) that just got coronated months prior to 1904.

The Sicilian Mafia ritual of renting (“leasing”) vacant homes is also known as “going to the mattresses”, or “taking it to the mattresses” hinted in the Psalm with the verse “commune with your own heart upon your bed and be still” and the key phrase “how long will ye love vanity and seek after leasing”. We should note that in year 1908, just four years after 1904, the Sicilian Earthquake of 1908 killed 70,000 people, and destroyed the town of Messina, Sicily almost entirely, The Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever.

Centuries later, Washington D.C., the capital of U.S., was also established as a semi-city-state. Today, we have the United Nations (not a perfect example of a city-state, but a “close encounter” nevertheless) located right in the heart of New York, U.S.A. The United Nations is exempt from U.S. Tax laws, and the land it sits upon is not considered as U.S. soil. It has its own flag, post office and security. The verse “But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself” hints how city-states are mandatory if and when LORD’s Word, Law or Commandments are revealed and executed in them. No over-ruling government or authority is acceptable if the city in question is chosen by the LORD to establish and announce His Message and Ultimate Authority. The 1904 British intervention to Tibet harmed the independence of Tibet. Vatican was left as the only contender for a true example of a city-state, though the Italian Army had it under siege the same year just the same. It was not until year 1929 “Holy See” (Vatican) signed the Lateran Treaty with the Kingdom of Italy that officially established Vatican as a self-ruling, independent nation – a true city-state. From Hammurabi to Thutmosis III, from Amenhotep IV to Constantine, from Pope to the latest Dalai Lama almost all city-state “heads” made sure they had installed an obelisk, an “antenna”, in the heart of their citystates to establish and sustain a symbolic, a mystical mean of two-way communication with the LORD of Hosts who ruled the city-state of His Choice. Without a doubt, not all city-states in history were heaven sent. But those that were had to remain autonomous, self-ruling and independent till the LORD chose otherwise. Finally, the ultimate goal, then, may be to have the entire world wrapped up to a single city-state ruled by a single government – the UN [United Nations]. In 1899, right after graduating from college, a fresh statician with the pen name “Student” started working for Guiness Brewery in Dublin. William Sealy Gosset, the “Student”, pioneered in applying statistics on “the production and control of a consistent unpasteurized beer when packaged and sold at efficient economies of scale. Introducing, “Guinnessometrics.” Annual output of stout at Guinness’s Brewery may have topped 100 million gallons but Gosset’s scientific knowledge was built one barleycorn at a time…” In 1904, Gosset wrote a report for Guinness titled “The Application of the Law of Error to Work of Brewery” that brought fame and recognition to his name and studies. The key phrase “more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased” alludes to Gosset and his pioneering work in combining statistics with the production of barley (barleycorn – “corn”) and increased production of beer (“wine”).

The next question that inevitably emerges out of the picture and begs an explanation is how the two forces (“good” and “evil” - the Vatican and Sicilian mafia) can co-exist next to one another in the same nation (Italy) – hinted in the verses with the key phrase: “O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? …“ As we have illustrated, Vatican and Tibet seem to have parallel fates. In 1904, Tibet was under the siege of British troops, while the Vatican was under the siege of the Italian Army during the same year. The Dalai Lama of the day had fled to Urga, Mongolia to escape from the war that was live in Tibet at the time.

The Dalai Lama spent over a year in Urga giving teachings to the Mongolians. While in Urga, the Dalai Lama met with several Russian military intelligence officers, telling them that both Tibet and Mongolia should “irrevocably secede from China to form an independent allied state, accomplishing this operation with Russia’s patronage and support, avoiding bloodshed.”[10] If Russia wouldn’t help, the Dalai Lama insisted, he would even ask Britain, his former foe, for help. After the Dalai Lama fled, the Qing dynasty immediately proclaimed him deposed and again asserted sovereignty over Tibet and made claims over Nepal and Bhutan as well.[11] A convention was signed at the Potala between Great Britain and Tibet in the presence of the Amban and Nepalese and Bhutanese representatives on 7 September 1904.[12] The provisions of the 1904 convention were confirmed in a 1906 treaty[13] signed between Great Britain and China. The British, for a fee from the Qing court, also agreed "not to annex Tibetan territory or to interfere in the administration of Tibet", while China engaged "not to permit any other foreign state to interfere with the territory or internal administration of Tibet".[13][14] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/13th_Dalai_La ma - Accessed Oct. 20, 2010.

Vatican was left as the only contender for a true example of a city-state, though the Italian Army had it under siege the same year just the same. It was not until year 1929 “Holy See” (Vatican) signed the Lateran Treaty with the Kingdom of Italy that officially established Vatican as a self-ruling, independent nation – a true city-state. and not to enter into relations with any foreign power without British approval. The 13th Dalaï-Lama fled to Mongolia, so his seal was affixed by Ga-den TiRimpoche. When the Liberal Party returned to power, London reverted to its pre-1904 policy of allowing China to negotiate on Tibet's behalf. The Anglo-Tibetan treaty was accordingly confirmed by a Sino-British treaty in 1906 by which "Great Britain engages not to annex Tibetan territory or to interfere in the administration of Tibet". Moreover, Beijing agreed to pay London 2.5 million rupees which Lhasa was forced to agree upon in the Anglo-Tibetan treaty of 1904. In 1907, Britain and Russia agreed not to negotiate directly with Tibet and recognized the "suzerainty of China over Thibet." A suzerain is a nation which has certain authority over a dependent nation. In 1910, the Qing government sent a military expedition of its own to establish direct Chinese rule and deposed the Dalaï-Lama in an imperial edict. The Dalaï-Lama once again fled, this time to India. "By going in and then coming out again, we knocked the Tibetans down and left them for the first comer to kick," wrote Charles Albert Bell, a British diplomatic officer stationed in Sikkim and a critic of the Liberal government's policy. Following a revolution in China, the local Tibetan militia launched a surprise attack on the Chinese garrison stationed in Tibet. Afterwards the Chinese officials in Lhasa were forced to sign the "Three Point Agreement" which provided for the surrender and expulsion of Chinese forces in central Tibet. In early 1913, the Dalaï-Lama returned to Lhasa and issued a proclamation distributed throughout Tibet which condemned, "The Chinese intention of colonizing Tibet under the patron-priest relationship" and stated that, "We are a Tibet: British intervention and occupation "Tibet" (1878) is an account of early British attempts to gain influence in Tibet.The authorities in British India renewed their interest in Tibet in the late 19th century, and a number of Indians entered the country, first as explorers and then as traders. Treaties regarding Tibet were concluded between Britain and China in 1886, 1890, and 1893, but the Tibetan government refused to recognize their legitimacy and continued to bar British envoys from its territory. During "The Great Game", a period rivalry between Russia and Britain, the British desired a representative in Lhasa to monitor and offset Russian influence. In 1904, they sent an Indian military force under Lieutenant Colonel Francis Younghusband, which, after some fighting, occupied Lhasa. In response, the Chinese foreign ministry asserted that China was sovereign over Tibet, the first clear statement of such a claim. A treaty was concluded which required Tibet to open its border with British India, to allow British and Indian traders to travel freely, not to impose customs duties on trade with India, a demand from British that Lhasa had to pay 2.5 million rupees as indemnity Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever.

City-State A city-state is an independent entity whose territory consists of a city which is not administered as part of another local government. Whereas nation-states rely on a common heritage, be it linguistic, historical, and economic, etc., the citystate relies on the common interest in the function of the urban center. The urban center and its activity supplies the livelihoods of all urbanites inhabiting the city-state. *** From Hammurabi to Thutmosis III, from Amenhotep IV to Constantine, from Pope to the latest Dalai Lama almost all city-state “heads” made sure they had installed an obelisk, an “antenna”, in the heart of their citystates to establish and sustain a symbolic, a mystical mean of two-way communication with the LORD of Hosts who ruled the city-state of His Choice. Without a doubt, not all city-states in history were heaven sent. But those that were had to remain autonomous, self-ruling and independent till the LORD chose otherwise. Finally, the ultimate goal, then, may be to have the entire world wrapped up to a single city-state ruled by a single government – the UN. *** Vatican City Until 1870, the city of Rome had been controlled by the pope as part of his Papal States. When King Victor Emmanuel II seized the city in 1870, Pope Pius IX refused to recognize the newly formed Kingdom of Italy. Because he could not travel without effectively acknowledging the authority of the king, Pius IX and his successors each claimed to be a "Prisoner in the Vatican", unable to leave the 0.44 km² (0.17-square mile) papal enclave once they had ascended the papal thrones. The impasse was resolved in 1929 by the Lateran Treaties negotiated by the Italian leader Benito Mussolini between King Victor Emmanuel III and Pope Pius XI. Under this treaty, the Vatican was recognized as an independent state, with the Pope as its head. The Vatican City State has its own citizenship, diplomatic corps, flag, and postage stamps.

Greek City-States After the Greek dark ages, exciting things began to happen in ancient Greece. Villages started to band together to form strong trading centers. These groups of villages that banded together were called city-states. Soon, hundreds of city-states had formed in ancient Greece. The ancient Greeks referred to themselves as citizens of their individual city-states. Each city-state (polis) had its own personality, goals, laws and customs. Ancient Greeks were very loyal to their city-state. The city-states had many things in common. They all believed in the same gods. They all spoke the same language. But if you asked an ancient Greek where he was from, he would not say, "I live in Greece." If he was from Sparta, he would say, "I am a Spartan." If he lived in Athens, he would say, "I am Athenian." The citystates might band together to fight a common foe. They also went to war with each other. Greece was not yet one country. Ancient Greece was a collection of Greek city-states. Because Greece was not yet one country, there was no central government in ancient Greece. Each city-state had its own form of government. Some city-states, like Corinth, were ruled by kings. Some, like Sparta, were ruled by a small group of men. Others, like Athens, experimented with new forms of government. Sometimes these citystates cooperated, sometimes they fought each other.

Tuthmosis installed rulers of his choice in major towns and introduced a system of Egyptian governors in general control over administration of the province.

After initially finding his feet at the brewery in Dublin, Gosset wrote a report for Guinness in 1904 called "The Application of the Law of Error to Work of the Brewery." The report emphasized the importance of probability theory in setting an exact value on the results of brewery experiments, many of which were probable but not certain. Most of the report was the classic theory of errors (Airy and Merriman) being applied to brewery analysis, but it also showed signs of a curious mind at work exploring new statistical horizons. The report concluded that a mathematician should be consulted about special problems with small samples in the brewery. This led to Gosset's first meeting with Karl Pearson in 1905... http://wfsc.tamu.edu/faculty/tdewitt/biometr y/Boland%20PJ%20%281984%29%20Am erican%20Statistician%2038%20179183%20%20A%20biographical%20glimpse%20of %20William%20Sealy%20Gosset.pdf Accessed Oct. 20, 2010.

Gosset applied small sample experiments to the palpable end of improving, however gradually, the production and control of a consistent unpasteurized beer when packaged and sold at efficient economies of scale. Introducing, “Guinnessometrics.” Annual output of stout at Guinness’s Brewery may have topped 100 million gallons but Gosset’s scientific knowledge was built one barleycorn at a time; in fact, the inventor of small sample theory worked closely with botanists and breeders. In the process, the brewer, William Sealy Gosset (1876-1937) aka “Student,” an Oxfordtrained chemist—though self-trained in statistics—solved a problem in the classical theory of errors which had eluded statisticians from Laplace to Pearson. In addition, though few have noticed, Gosset’s exacting theory of errors, both random and real, marked a significant advance over ambiguous reports of plant life and fermentation asserted by chemists from Priestley and Lavoisier down to Pasteur and Johannsen, working at the Carlsberg Laboratory. Central to the Guinness brewer’s success was his persistent economic interpretation of uncertainty, what Ziliak and McCloskey (2008) call the “size matters/how much” question of any series of experiments. An enlightened change in Guinness human resources policy gave an incentive structure that also seems to have nudged “Student,” who rose in position to Head Brewer, to find a profit when the opportunity knocked. Beginning in 1893, Guinness vested “scientific brewers” such as Gosset with managerial authority. In fact Gosset was at times involved with price negotiations over hundreds of tons of barley and hops—perhaps hours or minutes before he ran (that is, calculated) a regression on related material.

The t-test and the associated theory became well-known through the work of R.A. Fisher, who called the distribution "Student's distribution".[6] Student's distribution arises when (as in nearly all practical statistical work) the population standard deviation is unknown and has to be estimated from the data. Quite often, however, textbook problems will treat the population standard deviation as if it were known and thereby avoid the need to use the Student's t-test. These problems are generally of two kinds: (1) those in which the sample size is so large that one may treat a databased estimate of the variance as if it were certain, and (2) those that illustrate mathematical reasoning, in which the problem of estimating the standard deviation is temporarily ignored because that is not the point that the author or instructor is then explaining. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student%27s_tdistribution - Accessed Oct. 20, 2010. *** Student’s T-Distribution In probability and statistics, Student's tdistribution (or simply the t-distribution) is a continuous probability distribution that arises in the problem of estimating the mean of a normally distributed population when the sample size is small. It is the basis of the popular Student's t-tests for the statistical significance of the difference between two sample means, and for confidence intervals for the difference between two population means. The Student's t-distribution also arises in the Bayesian analysis of data from a normal family. The Student's tdistribution is a special case of the generalised hyperbolic distribution. In statistics, the t-distribution was first derived as a posterior distribution by Helmert and Lüroth.

Introduction The 5th Psalm starts with the verse that ends with the line “consider my meditation. Meditation is a common ritual of self-enlightment and worship among Tibet - the home of Buddhist faith. The Tibetian ritual of early morning prayers is hinted in the verses with the line “My voice shall thou hear in the morning, O LORD, in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee”. The verse “in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up” alludes to the Tibetian tradition of morning prayers and flying prayer flags in the sky (“will look up”). We have the 13th Dalai Lama, Thubten Gyatso, the “head” of Tibet figuratively speaking in the verses, explaining how he fled Tibet in late 1904 (early 1905?) due to the British invasion and had to remain in exile between 1904 and 1909. He fled Tibet once again in 1910 due to the Chinese invasion and had to remain in exile again till 1913. It was not before 1913 that he could return back to Tibet, to Potala Palace (“thy house”) with full power and authority, hinted in the Psalm with the verses: “I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple, Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face”. The “holy temple” mentioned in the verses is none other than the holy temple of Jews – the Temple Mount located in Jerusalem, Israel. When one connects the cities Lhasa, Tibet and Jerusalem, Israel on a twodimensional world map, the line in between the two is a perfectly straight one - hinted in the Psalm with the verse: “make thy way straight before my face”. Ironically, 1905 was the year the French law on “Separation of the Church and State” was put to effect in France. On another part of the world, the 13th Dalai Lama had to flee both his state (Tibet) and his “church” (the Potala Palace) the same year. As we have illustrated in Psalms Code, in our year 1992 study, the phrase “workers of iniquity” alludes to the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union was founded in year 1922 and denounced itself on the last day of year 1991 hinted in the 5th Psalm with the verse “Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels”. The Bolsheviks (the “Soviets”) made their first major march on the streets of St. Petersburg, Russia in year 1905. The “Bloody Sunday” march and the “standing” protest (“The foolish will not stand in your sight”) of the anti-religion, anti-God, Communist group of workers called the Bolsheviks is signaled in the 5th Psalm with the verse: “thou hatest all workers of iniquity... cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee”. The “Bloody Sunday” incident of 1905 eventually led to the Russian Revolution of the same year. The Bolsheviks, founded by Vladimir Lenin”, “came to power in Russia during the October Revolution phase of the Russian Revolution of 1917, and founded the Soviet Union”. It was Lenin who ordered Tsar Nicholas II and his family to be murdered later in 1918. As we have illustrated in our year 1904 study, the future [1908] earthquake that awaited Sicily was first signaled in the 4th Psalm. The 5th Psalm highlights the event further. “For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All rights reserved. 121 neither shall evil dwell with thee” in allusion to the co-existence of Vatican and the Sicilian mafia next to one another within the borders of Italy. “Thou shall destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man”. “The bloody and deceitful man” is none other than the Sicilian mafia that rent vacant homes (“speak leasing”) before they attack rival families “For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield” reads the verse. The “compass” mentioned in the verse is the future logo of NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) founded in 1949. The 1905 “Separation of the Church and State” wave caused political tsunamis across the globe; especially in France, in Russia, and even in Tibet. Moreover, the rise of the “bloody and deceitful man”, the mafia and their ever growing global network threatened the image (“glory”) of the Church [Vatican] and Christianity. An organization, an alliance was needed to protect the righteous, the religious [Christians], and “compass him as with a shield”. NATO was established in year 1949, three years after 1946, a Jubilee Year, possibly by the Order of the LORD, to reward and protect the “righteous” - the religious, from any harm that the antiGod, anti-religion movement and the “evil” mafia way of life, commerce and system could impose upon them hinted in the Psalm with the line: “For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield”. Ever since its conception, NATO played a major role in ending the Cold War, and forcing the Soviet Union denounce itself. By the end of the 1991, the Union of the Soviets, the “Bolsheviks” was no more. The antiGod, anti-religion, Communist movement was over. Communism lay dead. Thanks to NATO, several Christian nations were saved from a potential Soviet invasion; United States was left as the only superpower of the century. Leningrad was no longer the hometown of Communism. It reverted back to its original name and was again the good old St. Petersburg: the town Tsar Nicholas II lived in with his “friend” Rasputin in between late 1905 and 1916 – the year Rasputin was assasinated. A year after Rasputin’s death, in 1917, the October Revolution took place in Russia that led to the murder of Tsar Nicholas II and his family in 1918. With the help of NATO, the separation of the church and the state finally ended in St. Petersburg, Russia and in several ex-Christian cities under Communist rule prior to 1991 across the globe - the year Soviet Union denounced itself. The Church, the Vatican, finally won the war against the “heathen”, the atheists, Communists that separated the Church and the State whereever they could around the world. NATO “blessed the righteous and with favour compassed them as with a shield”, just as the 5th Psalm foretold it would. NATO headquarters are in Brussels, Belgium. The future European Union (a union of 27 European countries as of today) headquarters were to be established in the same city years later. The vast majority of the European Union member nations have Christianity as their [de-facto] state religion. “Christian revival is a term that generally refers to a specific period of increased spiritual interest or renewal in the life of a church congregation or Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever.

The Welsh Revival of 1904-1905 started in Wales, United Kingdom and spread over to the United States, if not the entire world, ever after. “The revival lasted less than a year, but in that period 100,000 converts were made”. While the workers were busy marching down the streets of St. Petersburg, Russia for a revolution, and a Communist government, the workers of the small mining “nation” of Wales were busy shouting for joy, and screaming Lord’s Name in Britain the same year. The Welsh Revival or 1904-1905 led by Evan Roberts is signaled in the 5th Psalm with the key phrases: “But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee”. The global fame of the Welsh Revival of 1905 ignited new Christian revivals around the world. The Azusa Street Revival took the scene within 19051906 in the United States. One of the core beliefs of the Azusa Street Revival was “tongues as evidence of Baptism with the Holy Spirit”. Speaking in “tongues” was an unheard way preaching, of reaching the Lord. According the Los Angeles Times report of one of their sermons, the Azusa crowd were accused of claiming to have the “gift of tongues”: “They claim to have the "gift of tongues" and be able to understand the babel.” Another eye-witness account of an Azusa meeting reported the following: “Members of the audience included people from a broad spectrum of income levels and religious backgrounds. Hutchins eventually spoke in tongues as her whole congregation began to attend the meetings. Soon the crowds became very large and were full of people speaking in tongues, shouting, singing and moaning”. The Azusa Street Revival of 19051906 is signaled in the 5th Psalm with the verse: “For there is no faithfullness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue”.

Judaism regards the Temple Mount as the place where God chose the Divine Presence to rest; it was from here the world expanded into its present form and where God gathered the dust used to create the first man, Adam. The site is the location of Abraham's binding of Isaac, and of two Jewish Temples. According to the Bible the site should function as the center of all national life - government, judicial, economical (during the 2nd Temple period), and, of course, religious center. From that location the word of God will come out to all nations, and that is the site where all prayers are focused. According to Jewish tradition and scripture, the first temple was built by Solomon the son of David in 957 BCE and destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BCE.

Due to his two periods of exile in 1904–1909, to escape the British invasion of 1904, and from 1910–1913 to escape a Chinese invasion, he became well aware of the complexities of international politics and was the first Dalai Lama to become aware of the importance of foreign relations. The Dalai Lama, "accompanied by six ministers and a small escort" which included his close aide, diplomat and military figure Tsarong Dzasa, fled via Sikkim to Darjeeling, where they stayed almost two years. During this period he was invited to Calcutta by the Viceroy, Lord Minto, which helped restore relations with the British.[22] Thubten Gyatso returned to Lhasa during January 1913 with Tsarong Dzasa from Darjeeling, where he had been living in exile. The new Chinese government apologised for the actions of the previous Qing dynasty and offered to restore the Dalai Lama to his former position. He replied that he was not interested in Chinese ranks and was assuming spiritual and political leadership of Tibet.[23] After his return from exile in India during 1913, Thubten Gyatso assumed control of foreign relations and dealt directly with the Maharaja and the British Political officer in Sikkim and the king of Nepal rather than letting the Kashag or parliament do it.[24] Thubten Gyatso declared independence from China during early 1913, after returning from India following three years of exile. He then standardized the Tibetan flag in its present form.[25] At the end of 1912 the first postage stamps of Tibet and the first bank notes were issued.

The list of demands included eight-hour working days, better working conditions, higher salaries, universal suffrage and an end to the Russo-Japanese War.

The petition, written by Gapon, made clear the problems and opinions of the workers and called for improved working conditions, fairer wages, and a reduction in the working day to eight hours. Other demands included an end to the Russo-Japanese War and the introduction of universal suffrage. However, the Tsar was in no condition to meet the demands of the workers due to the depression sweeping Russia. The procession was well stewarded by followers of Gapon and any terrorists and hot-heads were removed and all the participants checked for weapons. Chairman of the Council of Ministers Sergei Witte was implored not to act against the marchers. Troops had been deployed around the Winter Palace and at other key points. The Tsar left the city on January 8 for Tsarskoye Selo. On the Sunday, striking workers and their families gathered at six points in the city of St. Petersburg. They were organized and led by Father Gapon. Holding religious icons and singing hymns and patriotic songs (particularly "God Save the Tsar"), a crowd of "more than 300,000"[1] proceeded without police interference towards the Winter Palace, the tsar's official residence. The army pickets near the palace released warning shots, and then fired directly into the crowds to disperse them. Gapon was fired upon near the Narva Gate. Around forty people surrounding him were killed, but he was not injured.[2] Although the tsar had not been present at the Winter Palace at this time, he received the blame for the deaths, resulting in a surge of bitterness towards himself and his autocratic rule from the Russian people.

This Pale would last until the fall of the Russian Empire in 1917. The Emancipation Reform of 1861 officially ended serfdom and "freed" the peasants. Small parcels of land were distributed to the peasants by the State. Due to the community’s ownership of the land, as opposed to the individual’s, an individual peasant could not sell his portion of land in order to work in a factory in the city. A peasant was required to pay off longterm loans received by the government. The money from these loans was given to the primary landowner. The land allotted to the recently freed serfs did not include the best land in the country, which continued to be owned by the nobility. The serfs from private estates were given less land than they needed to survive which led to civil unrest. The redemption tax was so high that the serfs had to sell all the grain they produced to pay the tax, which left nothing for them to survive on. Simultaneously, the Industrial Revolution swept through Russia. This industrial upsurge was supported by a labor force consisting of large masses of miserable peasants who were forced either to abandon their inadequate plots of land permanently, or to look for additional work during winter. As elsewhere, industrial development meant development of the proletarian class. And as elsewhere, this class began to furnish contingents to the revolutionary movement.

It led to the establishment of limited constitutional monarchy, the State Duma of the Russian Empire, the multi-party system, and the Russian Constitution of 1906.

In the countryside, the poverty and dissatisfaction of the peasant masses continued to grow. The peasants -175 million men, women and children - were abandoned and were considered a sort of "human herd" (corporal punishment was a reality for them until 1904, even though it had been abolished legally in 1863). A lack of general culture and elementary education; primitive and insufficient tools; the absence of credit or any other form of protection or aid; very high taxes; arbitrary, contemptuous and cruel treatment by the authorities and "superior" classes; continual parcelling of their plots as a consequence of the division of the land among new members of families; competition between the "kulaks" (wealthy peasants) and the landed gentry -- such were the varied causes of their misery. Jews were wrongly blamed for the assassination of Alexander II in 1881. As a result, the May Laws of 1882 restricted or forbade Jewish settlements, mortgages, business transactions, high school and university admissions and enrollment, becoming a professional (such as an attorney or doctor), and the ability to elect or become an elected official. Alexander III was a staunch reactionary and an anti-semite who strictly adhered to the old doctrine of Orthodoxy, Autocracy, and Ethnocentrism. His escalation of antiJewish policies sought to ignite "popular antisemitism," which portrayed the Jews as "Christ-killers" and the oppressors of the Slavic, Christian victims. The absolutist regime of Nicholas II decided to maintain itself by all possible means and to suppress not only all revolutionary movements, but also any expression of opposition. The government of Nicholas II diverted the growing discontent of the population by means of large-scale anti-Semitic propaganda. Pogroms (targeted and repeated mob attacks against Jews) frequently took place, especially between 1903-1905. These attacks were often supported by the Tsarist Russian secret police. Many Jews were prominent in Russian revolutionary parties. The idea of overthrowing the Tsarist regime was attractive to many members of the Jewish semi-intelligentsia because of the oppression of non-Russian nations and non-Orthodox Christians within the Russian Empire. For much the same reason, many non-Russians, notably Latvians or Poles, were disproportionately represented in the party leaderships. In 1897 General Jewish Labour Bund (The Bund), was formed. Many Jews joined the ranks of two principal revolutionary parties: Socialist-Revolutionary Party (est. 1901) and Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (est. 1898) - both Bolshevik and Menshevik factions. A notable number of Bolshevik party members were ethnically Jewish, especially in the leadership of the party, and the percentage of Jewish party members among the rival Mensheviks was even higher.

The “bloody” and the “deceitful man” alluded is none other than the mafia, and the hometown they lived in - Sicily, Italy. In the end, we have the Vatican in the heart of Italy, in Rome – the home of the Roman Catholic Church, and just miles from it sits the island of Sicily – the hometown of “the bloody and the deceitful man” – the Sicilian mafia. Such a picture not only harms the image (“the glory”) of the Vatican and the Church, thus Jesus Christ, but also threatens the concept of “good” and “grace”; raising questions regarding the true power (if any) of “sin” and “evil” in the eyes of the faithful. The next question that inevitably emerges out of the picture and begs an explanation is how the two forces (“good” and “evil” - the Vatican and Sicilian mafia) can co-exist next to one another in the same nation (Italy) – hinted in the verses with the key phrase: “O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? …“ As we have illustrated in our year 1904 study, the future [1908] earthquake that awaited Sicily was first signaled in the 4th Psalm. The 5th Psalm highlights the event further. “For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee” in allusion to the co-existence of Vatican and the Sicilian mafia next to one another within the borders of Italy. “Thou shall destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man”. “The bloody and deceitful man” is none other than the Sicilian mafia that rent vacant homes (“speak leasing”) before they attack rival families.

As we have illustrated in Psalms Code, the LORD visited the earth in 1946. He visited the earth again in 1996. In fact, the LORD visits the earth every 50 years as hinted in the corresponding Psalms. That is why the Jews observe a Jubilee Year – the holiest year for the religious Jews. Several global organizations were founded in between 1945 and 1950 – just prior and right after LORD’s first visit of the earth in the 20th century. United Nations, IMF, World Bank and NATO rank the highest spot among them. World War II ended for the United States the same year the LORD visited the earth - in 1946. The State of Israel was founded in year 1948, just two years after LORD’s first visit of the earth in the 20th century. Finally, NATO was established in year 1949, three years after 1946, a Jubilee Year, possibly by the Order of the LORD, to reward and protect the “righteous”: the religious, from any harm that the anti-God, anti-religion movement and the “evil” mafia way of life, commerce and system could impose upon them - hinted in the Psalm with the line: “For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield”. Ever since its conception, NATO played a major role in ending the Cold War, and forcing the Soviet Union denounce itself. By the end of the 1991, the Union of the Soviets, the “Bolsheviks” was no more. The antiGod, anti-religion, Communist movement was over. Communism lay dead. Thanks to NATO, several Christian nations were saved from a potential Soviet invasion; United States was left as the only superpower of the century. Leningrad was no longer the hometown of Communism. It reverted back to its original name and was again the good old St. Petersburg: the town Tsar Nicholas II lived in with his “friend” Rasputin in between late 1905 and 1916 – the year Rasputin was assasinated. A year after Rasputin’s death, in 1917, the October Revolution took place in Russia that led to the murder of Tsar Nicholas II and his family in 1918. With the help of NATO, the separation of the church and the state finally ended in St. Petersburg, Russia and in several ex-Christian cities under Communist rule prior to 1991 across the globe - the year Soviet Union denounced itself. The Church, the Vatican, finally won the war against the “heathen”, the atheists, Communists that separated the Church and the State whereever they could around the world. NATO “blessed the righteous and with favour compassed them as with a shield”, just as the 5th Psalm foretold it would. NATO headquarters are in Brussels, Belgium.

The revival lasted less than a year, but in that period 100,000 converts were made. Begun as an effort to kindle nondenominational, nonsectarian spirituality, the Welsh revival of 190405 coincided with the rise of the labor movement, socialism, and a general disaffection with religion among the working class and youths. Placed in context, the short-lived revival appears as both a climax for Nonconformism and a flashpoint of change in Welsh religious life. The movement spread to Scotland and England, with estimates that a million people were converted in Britain. Missionaries subsequently carried the movement abroad; it was especially influential on the Pentecostal movement emerging in California.[1] It is believed that at least 100,000 people made Christian commitments during the movement during the revival, but despite this it did not put a stop to the gradual decline of Christianity in Wales, only holding it back slightly. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1904%E2%80 %931905_Welsh_Revival - Accessed Oct. 29, 2010. *** Then, in 1904, came the mighty Revival.

The four "points" of his message were: [1] Confess all known sin, receiving forgiveness through Jesus Christ [2] Remove anything in your life that you are in doubt or feel unsure about [3] Be ready to obey the Holy Spirit instantly [4] Publicly confess the Lord Jesus Christ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evan_Roberts_( minister) - Accessed Oct. 29, 2010.

Hutchins eventually spoke in tongues as her whole congregation began to attend the meetings. Soon the crowds became very large and were full of people speaking in tongues, shouting, singing and moaning”. The Azusa Street Revival of 19051906 is signaled in the 5th Psalm with the verse: “For there is no faithfullness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue”. William J. Seymour, leader of the Azusa Street Revival http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:William_se ymour.png - Accessed Oct. 29, 2010. *** Azusa Street Revival In 1905, William J. Seymour, the oneeyed 34 year old son of former slaves, was a student of well-known Pentecostal preacher Charles Parham and an interim pastor for a small holiness church in Houston, Texas.[3] Neely Terry, an African American woman who attended a small holiness church pastored by Julia Hutchins in Los Angeles, made a trip to visit family in Houston late in 1905.[2] While in Houston, she visited Seymour's church, where he preached the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues, and though he had not experienced this personally, Terry was impressed with his character and message. Once home in California, Terry suggested that Seymour be invited to speak at the local church.[4] Seymour received and accepted the invitation in February 1906, and he received financial help and a blessing from Parham for his planned one-month visit.[1][2] The global fame of the Welsh Revival of 1905 ignited new Christian revivals around the world. The Azusa Street Revival took the scene within 19051906 in the United States (“let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee”) – the only nation in the world with the national motto “In God We Trust”. One of the core beliefs of the Azusa Street Revival was “tongues as evidence of Baptism with the Holy Spirit”. Speaking in “tongues” was an unheard way preaching, of reaching the Lord. According the Los Angeles Times report of one of their sermons, the Azusa crowd were accused of claiming to have the “gift of tongues”: “They claim to have the "gift of tongues" and be able to understand the babel.” Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All rights reserved. 140 Seymour arrived in Los Angeles on February 22, 1906,[5][6] and within two days was preaching at Julia Hutchins' church at the corner of Ninth Street and Santa Fe Avenue.[4] During his first sermon, he preached that speaking in tongues was the first biblical evidence of the inevitable baptism in the Holy Spirit.[7] On the following Sunday, March 4, he returned to the church and found that Hutchins had padlocked the door.[8] Elders of the church rejected Seymour's teaching, primarily because he had not yet experienced the blessing about which he was preaching.[2] Condemnation of his message also came from the Holiness Church Association of Southern California with which the church had affiliation.[1] However, not all members of Hutchins' church rejected Seymour's preaching. He was invited to stay in the home of congregation member Edward S. Lee, and he began to hold Bible studies and prayer meetings there. Seymour and his small group of new followers soon relocated to the home of Richard and Ruth Asberry at 214 North Bonnie Brae Street.[5] White families from local holiness churches began to attend as well. The group would get together regularly and pray to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit. On April 9, 1906, after five weeks of Seymour's preaching and prayer, and three days into an intended 10-day fast,[8] Edward S. Lee spoke in tongues for the first time.[9][10] At the next meeting, Seymour shared Lee's testimony and preached a sermon on Acts 2:4 and soon six others began to speak in tongues as well,[1][9] including Jennie Moore, who would later become Seymour's wife.[11] A few days later, on April 12, Seymour spoke in tongues for the first time after praying all night long.[12][13] News of the events at North Bonnie Brae St. quickly circulated among the African American, Latino and White residents of the city, and for several nights, various speakers would preach to the crowds of curious and interested onlookers from the front porch of the Asberry home. Members of the audience included people from a broad spectrum of income levels and religious backgrounds. Hutchins eventually spoke in tongues as her whole congregation began to attend the meetings. Soon the crowds became very large and were full of people speaking in tongues, shouting, singing and moaning. Finally, the front porch collapsed, forcing the group to begin looking for a new meeting place.[10] A resident of the neighborhood described the happenings at 214 North Bonnie Brae with the following words: They shouted three days and three nights. It was Easter season. The people came from everywhere. By the next morning there was no way of getting near the house. As people came in they would fall under God's power; and the whole city was stirred. They shouted until the foundation of the house gave way, but no one was hurt.[10] Worship at 312 Azusa Street was frequent and spontaneous with services going almost around the clock. Among those attracted to the revival were not only members of the Holiness Movement, but Baptists, Mennonites, Quakers, and Presbyterians.[14] An observer at one of the services wrote these words: No instruments of music are used. None are needed. No choir- the angels have been heard by some in the spirit. No collections are taken. No bills have been posted to advertise the meetings. No church organization is back of it.

Colored people and a sprinkling of whites compose the congregation, and night is made hideous in the neighborhood by the howlings of the worshippers, who spend hours swaying forth and back in a nerve racking attitude of prayer and supplication. They claim to have the "gift of tongues" and be able to understand the babel.[4] Charles Parham was also sharp in his criticism: Men and women, white and blacks, knelt together or fell across one another; a white woman, perhaps of wealth and culture, could be seen thrown back in the arms of a big 'buck nigger,' and held tightly thus as she shivered and shook in freak imitation of Pentecost. Horrible, awful shame![4] The first edition of the Apostolic Faith publication claimed a common reaction to the revival from visitors: Proud, well-dressed preachers came to 'investigate'. Soon their high looks were replaced with wonder, then conviction comes, and very often you will find them in a short time wallowing on the dirty floor, asking God to forgive them and make them as little children.[8] Among first-hand accounts were reports of the blind having their sight restored, diseases cured instantly, and immigrants speaking in German, Yiddish, and Spanish all being spoken to in their native language by uneducated black members, who translated the languages into English by "supernatural ability".[7] Singing was sporadic and in a cappella or occasionally in tongues. There were periods of extended silence. Attenders were occasionally slain in the Spirit. Visitors gave their testimony, and members read aloud testimonies that were sent to the mission by mail. There was prayer for the gift of tongues. There was prayer in tongues for the sick, for missionaries, and whatever requests were given by attenders or mailed in. There was spontaneous preaching and altar calls for salvation, sanctification and baptism of the Holy Spirit. Lawrence Catley, whose family attended the revival, said that in most services preaching consisted of Seymour opening a Bible and worshippers coming forward to preach or testify as they were led by the Holy Spirit.[18] Many people would continually shout throughout the meetings. The members of the mission never took an offering, but there was a receptacle near the door for anyone that wanted to support the revival. The core membership of the Azusa Street Mission was never much more than 50–60 individuals with hundreds and thousands of people visiting or staying temporarily over the years.[4] Charles Parham, Seymour's teacher, who is now considered to be one of the founders of Pentecostalism Seymour and the other revivalists at the Apostolic Faith Mission on Azusa Street held to five core beliefs:[16] • • Salvation by Faith. Sanctification (or Holiness) of the believer. Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All rights reserved. 142 • • • Tongues as evidence of Baptism with the Holy Spirit.

A religious revival, led by the Rev. William J. Seymour, a son of former slaves, started in a rundown building on Azusa Street in Los Angeles. Services went on day after day, the mood growing increasingly enthusiastic, drawing hundreds, black and white, as word spread. Within a week, The Los Angeles Times told of a "weird babble" coming from the building. What the paper overheard was an outbreak of "glossolalia": people uttering an ecstatic prayer language previously unknown to them. These days, the Azusa Street meeting is widely credited as the central event in the birth of Pentecostalism, now a worldwide Christian movement distinguished in large part by belief that "speaking in tongues" is evidence of God's Holy Spirit acting on the faithful. The term "Pentecostal" derives from the day of Pentecost, a pivotal event in early Christianity. As described in the New Testament, Jesus' followers were gathered in a room in Jerusalem after Jesus had ascended into heaven, when there was a sound from above like a mighty wind. "And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance" (Acts 2:4).

Psalms 6: 1 <> O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. 2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed. 3 My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long? 4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake. 5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks? 6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears. 7 Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies. 8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping. Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All rights reserved. 144 Introduction The 6th Psalm is a prayer figuratively voiced by Theodore Roosevelt and addressed to the LORD. “Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old” reads the verse in allusion to the left eye Theodore Roosevelt announced that he had lost in 1905. Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt (October 27, 1858 – January 6, 1919) was the 26th President of the United States. He was in office from September 14, 1901 to March 4, 1909. “Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed” reads the 2nd verse, in allusion to the poor health Theodore Roosevelt had to live with since childhood. Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity” reads the 8th verse. The phrase “workers of iniquity” alludes to the Soviet Union and to the “Separation of the Church and the State” wave that took off in France in 1905 with the ratification of the French law known by the same name. The Russian “workers of iniquity” marched down the streets of St. Petersburg, Russia in 1905 on a “Bloody Sunday” that ignited the Russian Revolution. The “workers of iniquity” led by Lenin finally established the Soviet Union in 1922 – a Communist state formed exclusively by workers, or the biblical “workers of iniquity”. Meanwhile, in late 1906, The Pope of the day, Pope Pius X promulgated an encyclical named “Vehementer Nos” that declared the internationally popular “separate the church and the state” trend of the day void. Theodore Roosevelt’s fear of the “separate the church and the state” wave that started to take the world by storm in 1905 and 1906 is hinted in the 6th Psalm with the verses: 8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping. 9 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer. Finally, the 10th verse “Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly” alludes to Russia (later, Soviet Union) and to Japan that Theodore Roosevelt helped negotiate and sign a peace treaty [The Treaty of Portsmouth. Signed on September 5, 1905 in Kittery, Maine, United States] following the defeat of Russia in Russo-Japanese War of 1905. Theodore Roosevelt’s peace efforts won him a Nobel Peace Prize in return. In the long run, both Japan and Russia (future Soviet Union) that Theodore Roosevelt helped sign a peace treaty ended up being “enemies” of the US. The founding of the Soviet Union in 1922 kicked off the start of a 69 year long “Cold War” between the US and the USSR. A few years after the surprise Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor (Hawaii, US) in 1941, the US dropped two nuclear bombs on Japan, killing tens of thousands of Japanese people. Japan and Russia that signed a peace treaty in the United States under the supervision of US President “Teddy” in 1905 were destined to turn into two enemies of their “mediator” years after returning back to their homes following the signing of the [Peace] Treaty of Portsmouth – a feat Theodore Roosevelt felt was a shame; thus the verse: “let them return and be ashamed”.

Last but not the least, the future Soviet Union that was to be founded in 1922 would denounce itself almost overnight at the last day of 1991; again, all so “suddenly”. All in all, the future hostility between the US and Japan, the US and the Soviet Union is hinted in the 6th Psalm with the verses: 10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.

The US was going through the financial crisis or the “Panic of 1907” while the Marxists held their first meeting in London the same year. 1907 was also the year the Young Turks were gathering followers around Europe and Istanbul (Constantinople) for a revolution that was to take place a year later – in 1908. In 1907, the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP) led by Young Turks emerged as the umbrella the Ottoman Freedom Society (OFS) and several other organizations would work under towards the mutual goal - a revolution. The Young Turk movement led by “Three Pashas” (three majors) Ismail Enver, Mehmet Talat and Ahmed Djemal were to overthrow the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire and establish a constitutional monarchy in 1908. Just a year after the 1908 Young Turk Revolution, the Adana Massacre occurred in Adana, Turkey that caused the loss of 30,000 Armenian lives. Years later, in 1915, the Three Pashas would attempt to “Turkify” the Ottoman Empire population, and would decide to deport minorities that showed any resistance, especially the Christian Armenians. Ismail Enver Pasha would even call his army the “Army of Islam” announcing his intolerance for any other religion within the borders of the Empire. The Young Turks led by the Three Pashas would not only rule the Empire at its last days, but would also order the first “genocide” and the mass deportation of the century - the Armenian Genocide. Armenians were accused of working for Russians and the enemies of the Ottoman Empire; an excuse refused in the 3rd verse with the line “if I have done this, if there be iniquity in my hands”. 3 O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands; 4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:) The Armenian Church is the first Church established in the history of Christianity. Armenia is the first nation that accepted Christianity as its state religion.

The “Three Pashas”, three majors of the Ottoman Empire Mehmet Talat, Ismail Enver and Ahmed Djemal are called “persecutors” in the 7th Psalm. The three majors would later order the genocide and the deportation of 1.5 million Christian Armenians within the Ottoman Empire in 1915. The three “persecutors” fled the Ottoman Empire and its capital Istanbul (Constantinople) in 1919 and were sentenced to death in their absence by the Turkish Courts-Martial. The verse “he hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the prosecutors” alludes to the future assassination of the Three Pashas by the Armenian underground operation “Operation Nemesis”. All Three Pashas who applied almost all cruel methods of “instruments of death” on Christian Armenians were to die at the hands of the very people they tried to exterminate. In return for the historic violence employed on their people, Armenians shot each and all Three Pashas dead. The verse that reads: “Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood” alludes to Enver Pasha, one of the “Three Pashas” who had close ties with the Russians (“he travaileth with iniquity”).

The movement was against the monarchy of Ottoman Sultan and favoured a re-installation of the shortlived Kanûn-ı Esâsî constitution. They established the second constitutional era in 1908 with what would become known as the Young Turk Revolution.

The officers were part of the Young Turk movement that wanted to reform administration of the decadent state of the Ottoman Empire and modernize it to European standards. The movement was an antiHamidian coalition made up of two distinct groups: the secular liberal constitutionalists and the nationalists; the former was more democratic and accepted Armenians into their wing whereas the latter was more intolerant in regard to Armenian-related issues and their frequent requests for European assistance.[44] In 1902, during a congress of the Young Turks held in Paris, the heads of the liberal wing, Sabahheddin Bey and Ahmed Riza, partially persuaded the nationalists to include in their objectives to ensure some rights to all the minorities of the empire. Among the numerous factions of the Young Turks also included the political organization Committee of Union and Progress (CUP). Originally a secret society made up of army officers based in Salonika, the CUP proliferated amongst military circles as more army mutinies took place throughout the empire. In 1908, elements of the Third Army and the Second Army Corps declared their opposition to the Sultan and threatened to march on the capital to depose him.

A religiousethnic clash[1] in the city of Adana amidst governmental upheaval resulted in a series of anti-Armenian pogroms throughout the district. Reports estimated that the massacres in Adana Province resulted in 30,000 deaths.[2][3][4][5] Turkish and Armenian revolutionary groups had worked together to secure the restoration of constitutional rule, in 1908. On 31 March (or 13 April, by the Western calendar) a military revolt directed against the Committee of Union and Progress seized Istanbul. While the revolt lasted only ten days, it Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever.

The Armenian segment of the population of Adana was the "richest and most prosperous", and the violence included the destruction of "tractors and other kinds of mechanized equipment."[2] The Christian-minority Armenians had also openly supported the coup against Sultan Abdul Hamid II, which had deprived the Islamic head of state of power. The awakening of Turkish nationalism, and the perception of the Armenians as a separatist, Europeancontrolled entity, also contributed to the violence.[2] In 1908, the Young Turk government came to power in a bloodless revolution. Within a year, Turkey's Armenian population, empowered by the dismissal of Abdul Hamid II, began organizing politically in support of the new government, which promised to place them on equal legal footing with their Muslim counterparts. Having long endured so-called dhimmi status, and having suffered the brutality and oppression of Hamidian leadership since 1876, the Armenian minority in Cilicia perceived the nascent Young Turk government as a godsend. Christians now being granted the rights to arm themselves and form politically significant groups, it was not long before Abdul Hamid loyalists, themselves acculturated into the system that had perpetrated the Hamidian massacres of the 1890s, came to view the empowerment of the Christian minority as coming at their expense. The Countercoup of March 1909 wrested control of the government out of the hands of the secularist Young Turks, and Abdul Hamid II briefly recovered his dictatorial powers. Appealing to the reactionary Muslim population with populist rhetoric calling for the re-institution of Islamic law under the banner of a pan-Islamic caliphate, the Sultan mobilized popular support against the Young Turks by identifying himself with the historically Islamic character of the state.[7] According to one source, when news of a mutiny in Istanbul arrived in Adana, speculation circulated among the Muslim population of an imminent Armenian insurrection. By April 14 the Armenian quarter was attacked by a mob, and many thousands of Armenians were killed in the ensuing weeks.[8] Other reports emphasize that a "skirmish between Armenians and Turks on April 13 set off a riot that resulted in the pillaging of the bazaars and attacks upon the Armenian quarters." Two days later, more than 2,000 Armenians had been killed as a result.[9] The outbreaks spread throughout the district and by the end of the month as many as 30,000 Armenians were reported killed.[3][10] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adana_Massac re - Accessed November 19, 2010. *** Years later, in 1915, the Three Pashas would attempt to “Turkify” the Ottoman Empire population, and would decide to deport minorities that showed any resistance, especially the Christian Armenians.

Enver looked for victory when Russia withdrew from the Caucasus region. When Enver discussed his plans for taking over southern Russia, the Germans told him to keep out. Undeterred, Enver ordered the creation of a new military force called the Army of Islam which would have no German officers. Enver's Army of Islam avoided Georgia and marched through Azerbaijan. Third Army was also moving forward to pre-war borders. The Third Army, moved towards the Democratic Republic of Armenia, which formed the frontline in the Caucasus. General Tovmas Nazarbekian was the commander on the Caucasus front and Andranik Toros Ozanian took the command of Armenia within the Ottoman Empire. Vehib Pasha forced Armenians to retreat and then captured Trabzon, where the Russians had left huge quantities of supplies. Then the army turned towards Georgia.

Enver Pasha went to Baku between September 1–8, 1920 to take part in the failed "Congress of Eastern Peoples", representing Libya, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco. He later returned to Berlin where he tried to establish a secret organization that would transfer Russian military assistance to Turkey, an attempt that eventually failed. On July 30, 1921, with the Turkish War of Independence in full swing, Enver decided to return to Anatolia. He went to Batum to be close to the new border. However, Mustafa Kemal didn't want him among the Turkish revolutionaries. Mustafa Kemal had Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever.

Enver Pasha changed his plans and traveled to Moscow where he managed to win trust of the Soviet authorities. In November 1921 he was sent by Lenin to Bukhara in Turkestan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic to help suppress an uprising against the local pro-Moscow Bolshevik regime. However, instead he made secret contacts with some of the rebellion's leaders and, along with a small number of followers, defected to the basmachi side. His aim was to unite the numerous basmachi groups under his own command and mount a co-ordinated offensive against the Bolsheviks in order to realize his panTurkish dreams. After a number of successful military operations he managed to establish himself as the rebels' supreme commander, and turned their disorganized forces into a small but well-drilled army. His command structure was built along German lines and his staff included a number of experienced Turkish officers.[14] On August 4, 1922, however, as he allowed his troops to celebrate the Idi Qurbon holiday and kept a guard of 30 men at his headquarters near the village of Ab-i-Derya near Dushanbe, the Red Army Bashkir cavalry brigade under the command of Yakov Melkumov (Agop Melkumian) launched a surprise attack. According to some sources, Enver and some 25 of his men mounted their horses and charged the approaching troops, during which Enver was killed by machine-gun fire.[15] In his memoirs Enver Pasha's aide Yaver Suphi Bey stated that Enver Pasha died of a bullet wound right above his heart during a cavalry charge.[16] Alternatively, according to Melkumov's memoirs, Enver managed to escape on horseback and hid for four days in the village of Chaghan. His hideout was located after a Red Army officer infiltrated the village in disguise. Melkumov's troops then stormed Chaghan, and in the ensuing combat Enver was killed by Melkumov himself.[17][18] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%B0smail_ Enver - Accessed November 19, 2010. *** Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever.

The Hebrew word for name “shem” has two meanings: 1) Name 2) Spaceship The “spaceship” alternative is not foreign to the readers of Zecharia Sitchin – the author of the Earth Chronicles. “How excellent is thy name in all the earth” reads the 8th Psalm in allusion to the name, the spaceship that either landed at or hovered above a site on earth within 1908. “Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered … at the blast …” goes on the 15th verse. When we search through the major events of 1908, there is only one site on earth that could have hosted the historic event that year - Tunguska, Russia, the site of the yet-to-be solved Tunguska Explosion. The astronomical blast was worth a 1,000 atomic bombs fired all at once. This “unofficial” visit of the LORD was made in emergency (as 1908 was not a Jubilee Year) so that the LORD could visit “son of man” in person. “What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?” reads the 4th verse. Who exactly is this “son of man” mentioned in the 8th Psalm, 4th verse? And why did the LORD, the Creator of heaven and earth, visit him? The Tunguska Explosion occurred on June 30, 1908. Within the same month, the “Son of God” King Edward VII was also in Russia for a visit to his cousin Tsar Nicholas II. Could the “son of man” be him? Rasputin moved in the palace of the Tsar the same year. Did the LORD land on or hover above the Tunguska site in his spaceship to visit Rasputin in person? The town Rasputin was born in (Tyumen Oblast) is roughly 1,500 miles away from the Tunguska site by bird flight. As we have studied in 1901, Rasputin was a pilgrim. He could walk and travel for thousands of miles, for days without minding food and shelter. He had walked all the way to Athens and Jerusalem on foot – a round-trip travel that started (in 1901) and ended (in 1903) at Tyumen Oblast, Russia. Finally, within the same year, the same month of the Tunguska Explosion (June 1908) Dalai Lama (“Ocean of Wisdom”), the ruler and the head of Tibet was in exile at Mount Wutai, China - roughly about 1,500 miles away from the Tunguska site just the same. The “Ancient of Days” visited the “son of man” at or near Tunguska in 1908. It was a Turk who was brought near to the LORD of Hosts (“Ancient of Days”) on the day of the Tunguska Explosion.

Tunguska 1908 A mysterious fireball explodes on the morning of June 30 [1908] over Tunguska in Siberia, creating shock waves that are felt miles away; its thermal currents set great tracts of tundra woodlands afire, and the mushroom cloud and "black rain" that follow it inflict a scabby disease on reindeer herds. Irkutsk, Batavia, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Jena, and even Washington, D.C., record seismic shocks. Russian scientists will not visit the sparsely populated area until 1927, they will find no meteorite fragments, and some people will later speculate that the fireball was a crippled alien space vehicle powered by atomic energy. http://www.answers.com/topic/1908 Accessed Dec. 5, 2010. meteoroid or comet fragment at an altitude of 5–10 kilometres (3.1–6.2 mi) above the Earth's surface. Different studies have yielded varying estimates of the object's size, with general agreement that it was a few tens of metres across.[4] The number of scholarly publications on the problem of the Tunguska explosion since 1908 may be estimated at about 1,000 (mainly in Russian). Many scientists have participated in Tunguska studies, the best-known of them being Leonid Kulik, Yevgeny Krinov, Kirill Florensky, Nikolay Vasiliev, and Wilhelm Fast. [5] Although the meteoroid or comet burst in the air rather than hitting the surface, this event is still referred to as an impact. Estimates of the energy of the blast range from 5 to as high as 30 megatons of TNT (21–130 PJ).[6][7], with 10–15 megatons of TNT (42–63 PJ) the most likely[7]—roughly equal to the United States' Castle Bravo thermonuclear bomb tested on March 1, 1954, about 1,000 times as powerful as the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, and about one-third the power of the Tsar Bomba, the largest nuclear weapon ever detonated.[8] The explosion knocked over an estimated 80 million trees over 2,150 square kilometres (830 sq mi). It is estimated that the shock wave from the blast would have measured 5.0 on the Richter scale. An explosion of this magnitude is capable of destroying a large metropolitan area.[9] This possibility has helped to spark discussion of asteroid deflection strategies. The Tunguska event is the largest impact event over land in Earth's recent history.[10] Impacts of similar size over remote ocean areas would have gone unnoticed[11] before the advent of global satellite monitoring in the 1960s and 1970s. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunguska_even t - Accessed Dec. 5, 2010. *** The Tunguska Explosion The Tunguska Event, or Tunguska explosion, was a powerful explosion that occurred not far from the Podkamennaya (Lower Stony) Tunguska (Подкаменная Тунгуска) River in what is now Krasnoyarsk Krai (Красноярск Край) in Russia, at 00:13:35 Greenwich Mean Time [1] (around 07:14 local time)[2][3] on June 30, 1908 (June 17 in the Julian calendar, in use locally at the time).[3] The explosion is believed to have been caused by the air burst of a large Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever.

He was busy curing Tsar’s son who suffered from internal bleeding. Soon after arriving in St. Petersburg in 1903, Rasputin met Hermogen, the Bishop of Saratov. He was impressed by Rasputin's healing powers and introduced him to Nicholas II and his wife, Alexandra Fedorovna. The Tsar's only son, Alexis, suffered from hemophilia (a disease whereby the blood does not clot if a wound occurs).

So far we have three candidates, yet no clear winner. We need more clues. Let’s read on: For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. This “son of man” was “made” to be a “little lower than the angels”. King Edward VII, the “Son of God”, was “crowned” with “glory and honour”. So was Dalai Lama, the head and the ruler of Tibet since time immemorial. How about Rasputin? Psalms describes him as the “anointed” of the LORD. He was, thus, crowned with “glory and honour” just the same. The 5th verse failed short to help us identify the “son of man”. Let’s move unto the 6th verse. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet. King Edward VII, the “Son of God” of 1908, had “dominion over the works” of Lord’s Hands. “Thou hast put all things under his feet” reads the verse. As the ruler, the King of England (one of the superpowers, if not “the” superpower of the late 19th and early 20th century), King Edward VII had the world “under his feet”, so to speak. So did Dalai Lama. Lhasa, Tibet – the home of Dalai Lama’s Potala Palace, has always been the highest capital in the world (before the domination of Tibet by China). It is 12,087 feet above sea level – thus placing all that the Lord created physically “under” Dalai Lama’s “feet”.

Rasputin was in St. Petersburg, Russia, at the palace of Nicholas II the same month. Dalai Lama was at Mount Wutai, China, roughly 1,500 miles south east of the Tunguska site. The definition of “son of man” reads as follows: (“new man”) - Grigori Yefimovich Novykh. It is said that Rasputin tried to have his name changed to the more inconspicuous "Novykh" (Russian: Новыx) after his first pilgrimage to the Holy Land — "Novykh" (from the Russian Новый, meaning "New") connotes "Novice" — but that is the subject of much dispute. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grigori_Rasputi n - Accessed Dec. 5, 2010. *** Also by the Imperial order Rasputin was given a new name, Novykh, meaning the "new man", an exclamation attributed to the suffering boy, Crown Prince Aleksey. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1391270/bi o - Accessed Dec. 5, 2010.

The “Son of God” of 1989 and even today is still George H.W. Bush of US. Both were crowned (or inaugurated) seven years after a grand planetary alignment - a syzygy, as all Sons of God in history have always been. In order to name the “son of man” and the “Ancient of Days” mentioned in the Bible, we need to study the other books of the Old Testament.

The mountain is home to many of China's most important monasteries and temples. Mount Wutai's cultural heritage consist of 53 sacred monasteries, and they were inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009.[1] Each of the four mountains are viewed as the abode or place of practice (dàocháng; 道場) of one of the four great bodhisattvas. Wutai is the home of the Bodhisattva of wisdom, Manjusri or Wenshu (Traditional: 文殊) in Chinese. Mount Wutai also has an enduring relationship with Tibetan Buddhism.[2] It takes its name from its unusual topography, consisting of five rounded peaks (North, South, East, West, Central), of which the North peak, called Beitai Ding or Yedou Feng, is the highest, and indeed the highest point in northern China.

Daniel 7: 9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire. 10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened. 11 I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame. 12 As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time. Whoever the Dalai Lama handed that “dominion and glory and kingdom” delivered into his hands by the LORD of Hosts would rule the world almost forever, for the dominion at hand was special this time: “an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed”.

The treasure is a Tibetan thangka (than ga), or hand painted religious scroll on cloth. It had been loaned to the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History some 35 years ago. The thangka has special significance because it contains a handwritten note, "Presented to me by the Dalai Lama /Wu-tai-shan/ June 21st, 1908. W. W. Rockhill." William Woodville Rockhill was at that time U.S. Minister to China, and was a Tibetan scholar whose donations of Tibetan books acquired in Tibet and Mongolia between 1888 and 1892 formed the beginning of the Library's Tibetan collection. Within the collection, a recently discovered ornate volume of the Sutra of the Perfection of Wisdom in 8,000 Verses also contains a note, "Presented to W. W. Rockhill by the 13th Dalai Lama (Nag-dban Blo-bzan Thub-bstan-rgya-mtsho) at Wu-ta'ishan (Shansi) on June 21st 1908." The historic meeting of Rockhill and the 13th Dalai Lama, when these two gifts were presented, occurred at Wuta'i- shan, a sacred Buddhist mountain in northern China, during the 13th Dalai Lama's exile to Mongolia (19041909) following the Younghusband mission to Tibet. The meeting has been described by historians such as Tsepon Shakabpa in Tibet: A Political History as "probably the first contact between Tibet and the United States." Rockhill wrote a long flowery letter describing the meeting in detail to President Roosevelt on June 30, 1908, which can be found in the Library's Manuscript Division. The letter begins, "Dear Mr. President: I have just had such a unique and interesting experience that I cannot forbear writing to you at once about it. ..." The subject of the thangka is the Tibetan scholar-saint Rje Tsongkhapa (Tson-kha-pa Blo-bzan-grags-pa, 1357-1419), the founder of a sect of Tibetan Buddhism and a monastery. The painting shows the scholar emanating "on curd white clouds" from the heart of Maitreya, the Buddha of the Future, residing in the Tushita paradise. ("Tushita" is the name in Sanskrit of Maitreya's paradise.) Surrounding Tsongkhapa are his two main disciples and lineage lamas. The natural pigments containing precious minerals lend a special ethereal beauty to the painting, and the surrounding brocade is still vibrant despite its years of display. Before returning the thangka, the conservation department of the Smithsonian provided a set of slides and a condition report and housed it in a specially prepared archival box. It is hoped that visiting scholars of the Tibetan thangka painting tradition will be able to determine its origin, based on several distinct regional styles, and its possible date of creation; that is, whether it was newly commissioned by the 13th Dalai Lama or came from the items he was carrying with him during his exile. One prominent Tibetologist, Braham Norwick, has already made a trip to the Library to photograph the thangka. He plans to include the results of his study in an upcoming article on William Rockhill's contributions to Tibetan studies.

We do not see the name of an US President, a British King, an Ottoman Sultan, a Pope or a Dalai Lama among the “died in 1916” obituary lists. The entire Psalms start with the verse: “Blessed is the man that walketh…” Rasputin traveled, on foot, all the way to Athens (Greece) and Jerusalem (Israel) within 1901 the 1st Psalm points at. The “blessed man” alluded “that walketh” was no other than Rasputin – an incarnation of Jesus Christ. He was born in a small town by the Tura River in 1869. He was murdered at the palace of the Tsar where he was seen as a “man of God”, a “religious prophet” (“The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage”) and thrown into the Neva River 47 years later in 1916, after being poisioned, badly beaten and shot four times within the same night. The first verse of the 16th Psalm starts with the verse: “Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust”. Rasputin is asking the LORD to “preserve” his body [following his death]. “My flesh also shall rest in hope reads” the 9th verse (“because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay” reads the New International Version). Finally, “Thou wilt shew me the path of life” reads the last verse, hinting that Rasputin was destined to be “born again”, and incarnate only years following his first death within the 20th century. Rasputin was born, lived and died within the borders of the Russian Empire, in Asia. His next life, however, is signaled to be staged on another continent, in America, the United States – the only nation in the world with the motto: “In God We Trust”, signaled in the first verse with the phrase: “Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust”. The next Psalm, Psalm 17, signals the re-birth or “awakening” of Rasputin with the verse: 15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness. The new mission, the new duty of Rasputin in his new life is signaled in the 18th Psalms with the verses: 25 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright; 26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward. 27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks. 28 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness. Jesus Christ, who lived the life of the Anti-Christ under the name and within the body of Rasputin [Rasputin’s motto of “divine grace through sin” diverged with Christ’s original principle, zealous avoidance and refusal of sin] was to “save the afflicted people”, cure the deadly diseases in his next life destined to be lived on U.S. soil.

The murder of Rasputin has become a legend, some of it invented by the very men who killed him, which is why it has become difficult to discern the actual course of events. On December 16, 1916, having decided that Rasputin's influence over the Tsaritsa had made him a threat to the empire, a group of nobles led by Prince Felix Yusupov and the Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich and the right-wing politician Vladimir Purishkevich apparently lured Rasputin to the Yusupovs' Moika Palace[15] by intimating that Yusupov's wife, Princess Irina, would be present and receiving friends. (In point of fact, she was away in the Crimea.)[16] The group led him down to the cellar, where they served him cakes and red wine laced with a massive amount of cyanide. According to legend, Rasputin was unaffected, although Vasily Maklakov had supplied enough poison to kill five men. Conversely, Maria's account asserts that, if her father did eat or drink poison, it was not in the cakes or wine, because after the attack by Guseva he suffered from hyperacidity and avoided anything with sugar. In fact, she expresses doubt that he was poisoned at all. It has been suggested, on the other hand, that Rasputin had developed an immunity to poison due to Mithridatism.[17] Determined to finish the job, Prince Yusupov became anxious about the possibility that Rasputin might live until the morning, leaving the conspirators no time to conceal his body. Yusupov ran upstairs to consult the others and then came back down to shoot Rasputin through the back with a revolver. Rasputin fell, and the company left the palace for a while. Yusupov, who had left without a coat, decided to return to get one, and while The Moika Palace, along the Moika River, where Rasputin was supposedly lured and murdered http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:YusupovPa lace_Moyka.jpg- Accessed Dec. 10, 2010. The Death of Rasputin The legends surrounding the death of Rasputin are perhaps even more mysterious and bizarre than his life. According to Greg King's 1996 book The Man Who Killed Rasputin, a previous attempt on Rasputin's life had failed: Rasputin was visiting his wife and children in Pokrovskoye, his hometown along the Tura River in Siberia. On June 29, 1914, after either just receiving a telegram or exiting church, he was attacked suddenly by Khionia Guseva, a former prostitute who had become a disciple of the monk Iliodor. Iliodor, who once was a friend of Rasputin but had grown disgusted with his behaviour and disrespectful talk about the royal family, had appealed to women who had been harmed by Rasputin to form a mutual support group. Guseva thrust a knife into Rasputin's abdomen, and his entrails hung out of what seemed like a mortal wound. Convinced of her success, Guseva supposedly screamed, "I have killed the antichrist!" After intensive surgery, however, Rasputin recovered. It was said of his survival that "the soul of this cursed muzhik was sewn on his body." His daughter, Maria, observed in her memoirs that he was never the same Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever.

He grabbed Yusupov, ominously whispered in his ear, "you bad boy," and attempted to strangle him. At that moment, however, the other conspirators arrived and fired at Rasputin. After being hit three times in the back, he fell once more. As they neared his body, the party found that, remarkably, he was still alive, struggling to get up. They clubbed him into submission. Some accounts say that his killers also sexually mutilated him, severing his penis (subsequently resulting in urban legends and claims that certain third parties were in possession of the organ).[18][19][20] After binding his body and wrapping him in a carpet, they threw him into the icy Neva River. He broke out of his bonds and the carpet wrapping him, but drowned in the river. Three days later, Rasputin's body, poisoned, shot four times, badly beaten, and drowned, was recovered from the river. An autopsy established that the cause of death was drowning. His arms were found in an upright position, as if he had tried to claw his way out from under the ice. It was found that he had indeed been poisoned, and that the poison alone should have been enough to kill him. There is a report that after his body was recovered, water was found in the lungs, supporting the idea that he was still alive before submersion into the partially frozen river.[21] Subsequently, the Tsaritsa Alexandra buried Rasputin's body in the grounds of Tsarskoye Selo, but after the February Revolution, a group of workers from Saint Petersburg uncovered the remains, carried them into the nearby woods, and burned them. As the body was being burned, Rasputin appeared to sit up in the fire. His apparent attempts to move and get up thoroughly horrified bystanders. The effect can probably be attributed to improper cremation; since the body was in inexperienced hands, the tendons were probably not cut before burning. Consequently, when the body was heated, the tendons shrank, forcing the legs to bend and the body to bend at the waist, resulting in its appearing to sit up. This final happenstance only further fueled the legends and mysteries surrounding Rasputin, which continue to live on long after his death. The official report of his autopsy disappeared during the Joseph Stalin era, as did several research assistants who had seen it.[22] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grigori_Rasputi n#Murder - Accessed Dec. 10, 2010. *** Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever.

Introduction The historic blast known as the Tunguska Explosion occurred on June 30, 1908 in Tunguska, Siberia [Russia]. At the 10th anniversary of the astronomical blast, in year 1918 the 18th Psalm points at, the explosion is brought up to our attention once again. The 18th Psalm illustrates the Tunguska Event in vivid detail. Reading through it, we learn about the second reason behind the historic explosion. As we have seen in our year 1908 study, the LORD either landed or hovered above the Tunguska site to visit “son of man” in person. The “son of man” was the 13th Dalai Lama, Thubten Gyatso, who was at Mount Wutai, China [about 1,500 miles away from the Tunguska site by bird flight] on the day of the Tunguska Explosion – on June 30th 1908. A new kingdom, “an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed” [Daniel 7:14] was handed to him by the “Ancient of Days”, the LORD of Hosts. Just nine days prior to the event, the US Minister to China William Woodwill Rockhill visited Thubten Gyatso on Mount Wutai, China. On the very day of the explosion, on June 30, 1908, Rockhill wrote a letter to President Theodore Roosevelt regarding his visit to Dalai Lama. Rasputin, an incarnation of Jesus Christ, was murdered on December 29, 1916. His body was thrown into the Neva River in St. Petersburg, Russia the night he was killed. The 18th Psalm explains the second reason behind LORD’s Tunguska Visit as follows: Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever.

Year 1918 on our calendar was year 1908 on Lord’s Calendar. There is a ten year lag between the biblical calendar and our calendar. Though the LORD date-stamped and provided all major events bound to happen on earth between 1901 AD and 2050 AD in Psalms according to our calendar, the ten year lag is still there. We have seen the first example of this “lag” in our year 2000 study [Psalms Code, Volume I]. Though we observed the new millennium in year 2000, the biblical millennium started in year 1990, as hinted in the 90th Psalm authored by Moses “the man of God”. 4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. The LORD came down on earth and landed or hovered above the Tunguska site in his “name”, His “spaceship”, as the alternative translation of the Hebrew word for name “shem” defines [please see year 1908 study]. The 10th verse reads: “And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly; yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.” The “name”, the spaceship of the LORD did fly, yes! The LORD “took” the dead body of Rasputin “out of many waters”, the Neva River – the river Rasputin’s corpse was thrown in at the night he was murdered. The Lord not only handed a new kingdom to “son of man” on the day of the Tunguska Explosion, but saved, “took” and “drew” the corpse of Raspution “out of many waters” – the Neva River. But wait, how could have the LORD taken the dead body of Rasputin “out of many waters” in 1908 on the day of the Tunguska Explosion? Rasputin was murdered in 1916. The Tunguska Event occurred on June 30, 1908 – eight years prior to 1916. “A thousand years” marks a millennium on our calendars. We would expect the phrase “a thousand years” to appear in the 100th Psalm that points to year 2000 events – the year of our new millennium observance and celebration. However, the phrase “a thousand years” appears in the 90th Psalm that points to year 1990 events. In other words, the biblical millennium started in year 1990 AD, not in 2000 AD as we would all have presumed. The ten year difference or lag between the biblical and our Gregorian calendars is deliberately highlighted in the 90th Psalm – the Millennium Psalm. As we have illustrated in our year 1946 study, the LORD visits the earth every fifty years. That is why the Jews observe a Jubilee Year every fifty years. The LORD visited the earth in year 1996 [50 years after 1946] just the same, and is highly likely to visit the earth again fifty years later, in 2046 AD! Not surprisingly, a fifty year tsunami cycle is observed on earth at or near Jubilee Years since time immemorial. Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever.

The corpse was taken out of the Neva River and was “redeemeth” by the LORD two years after 1916 - the year Rasputin was killed. The “10 year lag” secret is revealed 10 years after the Tunguska Event of 1908, at its 10th anniversary, in the 18th Psalm. In 1915, Albert Einstein published “Relativity: The Special and the General Theory”. The theory was proven to be right during the Total Solar Eclipse of 1919. In year 1918, the “relativity” of space and time was one of the hottest subjects debated among the scientists of the day. Certainly not out of sheer coincidence, the mentioned 10 year lag between the biblical calendar and our Gregorian calendar is caused by what is known as a “twin [clock] paradox” and called “time dilation” in physics – concepts introduced to the world by Einstein in his timeless “relativity” theory. The concept of the “relativity of simultaneity” further explains the reason behind the apparent 10 year lag between our calendar and the biblical one. The emergency visit was made because “thrones” were to be “cast down”. The Ottoman and Russian Empires were soon to be history. Communists and Three Pashas were taking over Russia, and the Ottoman Empire respectively. A new kingdom, a new dominion “that shall not be destroyed” had to be established. The kingdom “that shall not be destroyed” was no other than the United States of America. The US Minister to China, William Woodville Rockhill visited the “son of man” 13th Dalai Lama on Mount Wutai, China just nine days prior to the Tunguska Event. On the day of the Tunguska Explosion (June 30, 1908) Rockhill wrote a “long letter” to President Roosevelt that started with the words: “Dear Mr. President: I have just had such a unique and interesting experience that I cannot forbear writing to you at once about it. ..." Why did Jesus Christ live the life AntiChrist in the body and under the name of Rasputin? Rasputin, though seen as a “holy man” by the Tsar, his wife and the elite of St. Petersburg, also had fame as a womanizer. His motto of “divine grace through sin” conflicted with what Jesus Christ taught 1,900 years ago. The 18th Psalm gives the answer: 25 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright; 26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.

The number 10 is a very significant number in the Bible. We have the “Ten Commandments”, tithes with a ratio of 1/10th, ten generations from Adam to Noah, ten plagues of Egypt, ten witnesses, ten spies, ten nations, and the requirement of a minimum of ten righteous people before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. We have eight planets in our Solar System [Pluto is considered a dwarf planet and is excluded from the count]. When we add the Sun and the Moon, we end up with ten heavenly bodies. Last but not the least; the LORD moved the shadow of the sundial back ten degrees during the time of prophet Isaiah as reported in 2 Kings. 2 Kings 20 1 In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.

And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered. 8 And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the LORD the third day? 9 And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees? 10 And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees. 11 And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz. hinted to be traveling in his spaceship across the heavens. 10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind. 13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.

Finally, the significance of number 10 is further augmented in Psalm 18/Year 1918 at the 10th anniversary of the 1908 Tunguska Explosion. The dead body of Rasputin, an incarnation of Jesus Christ was saved exclusively by the LORD in his unofficial, emergency visit to earth in 1908 – year 1918 on our calendar. The corpse was taken out of the Neva River and was “redeemeth” by the LORD two years after 1916 - the year Rasputin was killed. The “10 year lag” secret is revealed 10 years after the Tunguska Event of 1908, at its 10th anniversary, in the 18th Psalm. In 1915, Einstein published “Relativity: The Special and the General Theory”. The theory was proven to be right during the Total Solar Eclipse of 1919. In year 1918, the “relativity” of space and time was one of the hottest subjects debated among the scientists of the day.

The effect has been verified experimentally using precise measurements of clocks flown in airplanes[1] and satellites. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_paradox Accessed Dec. 12, 2010. *** In 1918, Einstein developed a general theory of the process by which atoms emit and absorb electromagnetic radiation (his A and B coefficients), which is the basis of lasers (stimulated emission) and shaped the development of modern quantum electrodynamics, the best-validated physical theory at present.[17] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scientifi c_publications_by_Albert_Einstein Accessed Dec. 12, 2010. *** Time Dilation Time dilation is a phenomenon (or two phenomena, as mentioned below) described by the theory of relativity. It can be illustrated by supposing that two observers are in motion relative to each other, or differently situated with regard to nearby gravitational masses. They each carry a clock of identical construction and function. Then, the point of view of each observer will generally be that the other observer's clock is in error (has changed its rate). Both causes (distance to gravitational mass and relative speed) can operate together. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation Accessed Dec. 12, 2010. *** The mentioned 10 year lag between the biblical calendar and our Gregorian calendar is caused by what is known as a “twin [clock] paradox” and called “time dilation” in physics. *** Twin Paradox In physics, the twin paradox is a thought experiment in special relativity, in which a twin makes a journey into space in a high-speed rocket and returns home to find he has aged less than his identical twin who stayed on Earth. This result appears puzzling because each twin sees the other twin as traveling, and so, according to a naive application of time dilation, each should paradoxically find the other to have aged more slowly. In fact, the result is not a paradox in the true sense, since it can be resolved within 10 % of the Speed of Light In ordinary life, where people move at speeds much less then the speed of light, even considering space travel, are not great enough to produce easily detectable time dilation effects, and such vanishingly small effects can be safely ignored. It is only when an object approaches speeds on the order of 30,000 km/s (10% the speed of light) that time dilation becomes important. Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All rights reserved. 203 However, there are practical uses of time dilation. One such example is with regard to keeping the clocks on GPS satellites accurate. Without accounting for time dilation, GPS'es would be useless. http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilatio n - Accessed Dec. 12, 2010. Gravitational Time Dilation Thus, in special relativity, the time dilation effect is reciprocal: as observed from the point of view of either of two clocks which are in motion with respect to each other, it will be the other clock that is time dilated. (This presumes that the relative motion of both parties is uniform; that is, they do not accelerate with respect to one another during the course of the observations.) In contrast, gravitational time dilation (as treated in general relativity) is not reciprocal: an observer at the top of a tower will observe that clocks at ground level tick slower, and observers on the ground will agree about that, i.e. about the direction and the ratio of the difference. There is not full agreement, all the observers make their own local clocks out to be correct, but the direction and ratio of gravitational time dilation is agreed by all observers, independent of their altitude. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation Accessed Dec. 12, 2010. *** The concept of the “relativity of simultaneity” further explains the reason behind the apparent 10 year lag between our calendar and the biblical one. The Relativity of Simultaneity In physics, the relativity of simultaneity is the concept that simultaneity— whether two events occur at the same time—is not absolute, but depends on the observer's reference frame. According to the special theory of relativity, it is impossible to say in an absolute sense whether two events occur at the same time if those events are separated in space. Where an event occurs in a single place—for example, a car crash—all observers will agree that both cars arrived at the point of impact at the same time. But where the events are separated in space, such as one car crash in London and another in New Delhi, the question of whether the events are simultaneous is relative: in some reference frames the two accidents may happen at the same time, in others (in a different state of motion relative to the events) the crash in London may occur first, and in still others the New Delhi crash may occur first. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativity_of_si multaneity - Accessed Dec. 12, 2010. *** Time Dilation and Space Flight Time dilation would make it possible for passengers in a fast-moving vehicle to travel further into the future while aging very little, in that their great speed slows down the rate of passage of on-board time. That is, the ship's clock (and according to relativity, any human travelling with it) shows less elapsed time than the clocks of observers on Earth. For sufficiently high speeds the effect is dramatic. For example, one year of travel might correspond to ten years at home. Indeed, a constant 1 g acceleration would permit humans to travel as far as light has been able to travel since the big bang (some 13.7 billion light Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All rights reserved. 204 years) in one human lifetime. The space travellers could return to Earth billions of years in the future. A scenario based on this idea was presented in the novel Planet of the Apes by Pierre Boulle. A more likely use of this effect would be to enable humans to travel to nearby stars without spending their entire lives aboard the ship. However, any such application of time dilation during Interstellar travel would require the use of some new, advanced method of propulsion. The Orion Project has been the only major attempt toward this idea. Current space flight technology has fundamental theoretical limits based on the practical problem that an increasing amount of energy is required for propulsion as a craft approaches the speed of light. The likelihood of collision with small space debris and other particulate material is another practical limitation. At the velocities presently attained, however, time dilation is not a factor in space travel. Travel to regions of space-time where gravitational time dilation is taking place, such as within the gravitational field of a black hole but outside the event horizon (perhaps on a hyperbolic trajectory exiting the field), could also yield results consistent with present theory. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation Accessed Dec. 12, 2010.

The kingdom “that shall not be destroyed” was no other than the United States of America. The US Minister to China, William Woodville Rockhill visited the “son of man” 13th Dalai Lama on Mount Wutai, China just nine days prior to the Tunguska Event. On the day of the Tunguska Explosion (June 30, 1908) Rockhill wrote a “long letter” to President Roosevelt that started with the words: “Dear Mr. President: I have just had such a unique and interesting experience that I cannot forbear writing to you at once about it. ..." Why did Jesus Christ live the life AntiChrist in the body and under the name of Rasputin? Rasputin, though seen as a “holy man” by the Tsar, his wife and the elite of St. Petersburg, also had fame as a womanizer. His motto of “divine grace through sin” conflicted with what Jesus Christ taught 1,900 years ago. The 18th Psalm gives the answer: 25 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright; 26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward. *** Einstein Delay In pulsar timing, the advance or retardation of the pulsar phase due to gravitational and motional time dilation is called the "Einstein Delay" http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilatio n - Accessed Dec. 12, 2010. *** Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever.

Like how the hours fly by when you're hanging out with a close friend, or how seconds drag on endlessly when you're stuck in traffic on a hot day? But you can't actually speed time up or slow it down—it always flows at the same rate, right? Albert Einstein didn't think so. His idea was that, theoretically, the closer we come to traveling at the speed of light (186,000 miles per second), the more time would appear to slow down for us from the perspective of someone who, in relation to us, was not moving. He called the slowing of time due to motion time dilation. Imagine you're standing on Earth holding a clock. Your friend is in a rocket zooming past you at nearly 186,000 miles per second. Your friend is also holding a clock. If you could see your friend's clock, you'd notice that it seems to be moving a lot more slowly than yours. Your friend, on the other hand, thinks the clock in the rocket is moving just fine, while your clock on the ground seems to be moving very fast. Sound confusing? Well, remember, it took Einstein years to figure this out, and he was pretty smart. According to Einstein's special theory of relativity, objects gain mass as they accelerate to greater and greater speeds. Now, to get an object to move faster, you need to give it some sort of push. An object that has more mass needs a bigger push than an object with less mass. If an object reached the speed of light, it would have an infinite amount of mass and need an infinite amount of push, or acceleration, to keep it moving. No rocket engine, no matter how powerful, could do this. In fact, as far as we know, nothing can exceed the speed of light. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/einstein/hot sciencetwin/ - Accessed Dec. 12, 2010. *** Finally, in 1918 Russia switched from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar.

Even a century later, the Siberian blast still attracts scientists who hope to unveil its mystery. A powerful explosion in East Siberia shook the Earth in the early morning of June 30, 1908, or June 17 in the Julian calendar that was then in use in the Russian Empire. The energy of the explosion was most likely equivalent to around 10-15 megatons of TNT, or about 1,000 times the power of the Little Boy atomic bomb that was dropped on Japan’s Hiroshima by the United States at the end of the World War II. The blast was registered on seismic stations across Eurasia. It produced fluctuations in atmospheric pressure strong enough to be detected in Great Britain. Over the next few days, night skies around the continent were aglow. In some places, for example in London, people could read in the light. Scientists theorized that this was due to light passing through high-altitude ice particles, the cause of the space body having entered the atmosphere and then exploded. Back in the Tunguska River area, a staggering 2,200 square kilometers of the taiga forest with 80 million trees was destroyed. Had the event happened some four hours later, St. Petersburg would have been wiped out along with all the villages surrounding it. The trees around the epicenter of the blast toppled over in a radial pattern. But those in it remained standing. Their branches were stripped so that they looked like telegraph poles. This phenomenon was discovered by Soviet scientist Leonid Kulik, who in 1927 led an expedition to the area. He measured the 2,000 square kilometers of devastation and recorded images of fallen trees. Kulik concluded that the blast was caused by a meteorite crashing down to earth. More than a century after the blast, the mystery of the event is still attracting scientific expeditions from all over the globe. Kukik, like the hundreds of later investigators, failed to find any traces of a meteorite having collided with earth surface; neither any particles, nor the crater. This month, however, an international group of researches from the University of Bologna, Italy, and Cornell University in the US headed to the Siberian taiga in an attempt to discover more details, RIA Novosti reported. The Italian group hypothesized that the elongated Lake Cheko is a possibly an impact crater from the event. They do not dispute that the Tunguska body exploded mid-air, but believe that a one-meter fragment survived the explosion and impacted the ground. However, a thorough search for evidence, including underwater exploration with sonar, video cameras and other tools and techniques, gave little result. Other scientists dismiss this hypothesis, too, pointing at the lack of a swell around the lake, which would have formed had the lake be a result of collision. The local indigenous people, the Evenki, insist that Cheko Lake has Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All rights reserved. 207 “always been there.” In their language, it is called “dark water.” The Italian scientists will continue search for evidence for the meteorite hypothesis and plan to make several drills around the lake. Their counterparts from Cornell University and the University of Florence, Italy, believe that the explosion was caused by the eruption of volcanic gases. The two scientists have studied a 1012 ton rock which they believe was projected from the depths by the volcanic gas. They also gathered a total of 30 kilograms of mineralogical samples, among which they hope to find a compressed quartz. The latter would serve an evidence of the volcanic activity, the same as basalt, which is especially abundant in the area. There are more than 100 theories behind the Tunguska event, including some as incredible as a UFO crash. Yet the most reliable and widely accepted is perhaps the version of a comet or part of its tail to have collided with earth. “I agree it was something from outer space, but it’s more likely to be a fragment of a comet, a snowball-like body of ice and gas that exploded when it hit the earth's atmosphere,” Vitaly Romeiko, the head of the Zvenigorod Astronomic Observatory, told RT in 2008. According to Romeiko, who has led 23 expeditions to the site and was also interviewed by RIA Novosti upon completion of the Italian-American expedition, the blast was caused by part of the tail of Encke’s Comet. This comet completes an orbit of the sun and approaches the Earth once every three years and four months. The block of ice with impregnations of cosmic dust exploded as soon as it entered the Earth’s atmosphere, Romeiko said. Olga Gladysheva, a senior researcher at the St. Petersburg-based Ioffe Physical Technical Institute, supported her colleague from the Moscow Region. In an interview with RIA Novosti, she said that a part of the tail separated from the comet to form a block of ice, which then exploded at an altitude of 7-10 kilometers above the Earth’s surface in a series of blasts when its inner substance began to expand and break the block from inside. The incredible power of the explosion is explained by the significant difference in the electric potentials, or charges, of the comet and the Earth. Russian scientists dismiss the meteorite theory because neither particles typical of these space objects, nor a crater, have been found. As for the tiny bits of the comet, they could probably be found in the lower layers of moss, exactly where it freezes into permafrost. With some 90 years of research behind the Tunguska Event and over 100 conflicting hypothesis pretending to be the best explanation, many express their doubts that one of the greatest mysteries of the 20th century will ever be unveiled. Yet it does not prevent others from planning new expeditions to one of the most remote places on Earth. Published: 26 July, 2009.

Felix Yusupov was never punished for this murder, well-known at the time, and a significant part of widespread Rasputin imagery was created by his own publications which demonized his victim.

The three century long Romanov reign over Russia ended with the assasination of the Tsar and his family and “they were not able to rise” again.

Lenin was baptized on 28 April [O.S. 16 April] 1870 at the local church of St. Nicholas into the Russian Orthodox Church.[3][4] Lenin came from a diverse ancestry. Besides Russian, Lenin had German, Swedish and more controversially Jewish ancestors on his mother's side and Mongolic Kalmyk ancestry on his father's.[5] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenin Accessed Dec. 12, 2010. The Tsar paid a most costly price for having ordered Rasputin’s death. He abdicated, was dethroned and finally executed following Rasputin’s death. It was Lenin who gave the order of the Tsar’s death. But who really was Lenin? Why would the Psalms, inspired by the LORD roughly 3,000 years ago make a reference to him? Lenin, afterall, is known for his denial of God and religion in general. He was an atheist. What did he have to do with Rasputin other than having ordered the death of the Tsar who caused his murder? *** Lenin was both a Jew and a Turk! The Mongolic Kalmyk ancestry mentioned in his biography is of Turkic origin! Origin of the name "Kalmyk" The name "Kalmyk" is a word of Turkic origin that means "remnant" or "to remain." Turkic tribes may have used this name as early as the thirteenth century. Arab geographer Ibn al-Wardi is documented as the first person to use the term in referring to the Oirats in the fourteenth century (Khodarkovsky, 1992:5 citing Bretschneider, 1910:2:167). The khojas of Kashgaria applied the name to Oirats in the fifteenth century (Grousset, 1970:506). Russian written sources mentioned the name "Kolmak Tatars" as early as 1530, and cartographer Sebastian Muenster Vladimir Lenin Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (Russian: Владимир Ильич Ульянов; Kalmyk: Владимир Ильич Ульяна; German: Wladimir Iljitsch Uljanow; Swedish: Vladimir Iljitj Uljanov) was born on 22 April [O.S. 10 April] 1870 in the town of Simbirsk in the Russian Empire.

[“made”] was no other than Vladimir Lenin. How Rasputin “became”, or was “made” Lenin and ordered the death of the Tsar who caused his own death is beyond us, if not beyond human comprehension and logic just the same. All we know is thus: Rasputin was born in 1869 and killed in 1916 at the age of 47. Lenin was born in 1870 and died in 1924 at the age of 54. Rasputin was saved by the Lord in 1918, just a month later the Tsar and his family lay dead. The 18th Psalm is clear. Rasputin was saved by the LORD in His 1908 Tunguska visit [1918 on our biblically aligned calendar]. Only a month later, in July 1918, the Tsar who ordered Rasputin’s death was shot dead. Lenin had ordered the execution of the Tsar and his family. Yakov Mikhaylovich Yurovsky fulfilled the request. The man who killed Rasputin [Prince Felix Yusupov] was a Turk. The man who killed the Tsar [Yakov Mikhaylovich Yurovsky] was a Jew. Lenin, who ordered Tsar’s execution, was both a Jew and a Turk. The Dalai Lamas of Tibet are hinted to be of Turkic origin in the 8th Psalm. Whether the origin, the roots of the target body or the soul of the person Rasputin could easily transform or “move into” mattered or not is, again, beyond us. Did the target body or soul of the person (i.e. Lenin) have to be of Jewish or Turkic background before Rasputin could “move into” the body of the person in question and take control of him? Or could Rasputin “be” whoever he wanted to “be” whenever he wanted to “be” wherever he liked regardless of the race or origin of the *** The 18th Psalm alludes to Lenin with its final verses. Rasputin was to be “made the head of the heathen” [atheists] – the leader of the Communists known for their denial of God and religion. Simply put, Lenin! 43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me. 44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me. 45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places. 46 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted. 47 It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me. 48 He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man. 49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name. 50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.

What we have before us is the phenomenon, the supernatural, the “above human” made known to us as Immanuel [Hebrew for “Lord is with us”] – Jesus Christ! and still is being written for him, at certain times, exclusively by him. Immanuel called on the LORD, and the LORD heard him. When Immanuel died or was murdered, it was the LORD of Hosts who saved him and brought him back to life. Immanuel never died a permanent death. His deaths were only temporary “leaves of absence”. He was in one extreme condition or state of “savasana” [corpse pose] when he died. He was destined to be born again. He, almost, incarnated at will. He called on the LORD, and the LORD “delivered” or “redeemed” him. Death was not an obstacle for Immanuel. He would die but would soon be brought back to life exclusively by the LORD of Hosts. As soon as he “wore” his new life and new face [or should we call it a mask i.e. the symbolism behind King Tut’s all golden facial mask!] he had the freedom to go ahead and take revenge against those who killed him in his previous life [even if he once lived the life of a messenger, a prophet who forbid taking “eye for an eye”]. So was the case with Rasputin, his “enemy” Tsar and the executer of the Tsar, Lenin. In a way, the entire globe, the planet earth may be pictured as Immanuel’s playground. He lived several lives in it, and at certain times, all at once! In 1918, he was [the dead] Rasputin, the “Holy Father” the Pope, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk and Vladimir Lenin all at once! He wrote, personally staged and played the lives of certain key figures of human history all by himself. Without a shadow of a doubt, he still does! We are talking about a man who is at least 3,000 years old by our [human] standards! Immanuel Immanuel or Emmanuel or Imanu'el (Hebrew ‫" עמּנוּאל‬God [is] with us" ֵ ִָ consists of two Hebrew words: ‫’( אל‬El, ֵ meaning 'God') and ‫ ( עמּנוּ‬Immānū, ִָ meaning 'with us'); Standard Hebrew Immanu el, Tiberian Hebrew Immānû ēl).

Though Lenin was a Communist, an atheist, it was their mutual hatred of the Tsar who was harsh on the Jews, harsh on the workers, harsh on Rasputin and harsh on basically anyone without a class [a character that thus earned him the nickname “Bloody Nicholas”]. Immanuel picked the body, the life, the soul and the mind of Lenin so that he could pursue a most disastrous vengeance against the Bloody Tsar who ordered his death. At that point in time, Lenin’s political power, strong influence over the masses and his personal hatred of the Tsar mattered much more than his faith and thus qualified him for the job. The incarnated Rasputin “occupied” Lenin for some time and ordered Tsar’s death through his mouth. The landowners and capitalists tried to divert the hatred of the workers and peasants who were tortured by want against the Jews. ... It is not the Jews who are the enemies of the working people. The enemies of the workers are the capitalists of all countries. Among the Jews there are working people, and they form the majority.

Introduction The 19th Chapter of the 19th Book of the Bible, Psalms (devoted to the year 1919 AD events) starts with the verse: The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

In our decimal system number one marks “the first” and number nine marks “the last” numeral! One plus nine makes a ten. One “and” nine [“Alpha and Omega”] make a “19”! [1 “and” 9 = 19] As declared in Isaiah 44:6 and Revelation 22:13, 19 is the number of the LORD (“first” and “last”, “Alpha” and “Omega”; 1 and 9 or 19), just as 22 is the number of Jesus Christ “His Anointed”. The 19th book of the Bible, Psalms, is thus, of high importance. The 19th book, the 19th Chapter of the Bible is twice as important.

This can only happen during a new moon, when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction as seen from Earth. At least two, and up to five, solar eclipses occur each year; no more than two can be total eclipses.[1][2] Total solar eclipses are nevertheless rare at any particular location because totality exists only along a narrow path on the Earth's surface traced by the Moon's umbra. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse Accessed Dec. 21, 2010. different position or look brighter than they would otherwise. The total eclipse of 29th May 1919 gave scientists the chance to test the theory for the first time. Eddington travelled to Príncipe to observe the eclipse and measure the apparent locations of stars near the Sun. Heavy clouds parted minutes before the eclipse and, with the Sun almost directly in front of them, the stars appeared to be shifted from the positions that Eddington had recorded in Oxford 4 months earlier – direct evidence that our nearest star shapes the space around it.“This first observational proof of General Relativity sent shockwaves through the scientific establishment,” said Professor Ferreira. “It changed the goalposts for physics.” http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009 /05/090528204402.htm - Accessed Dec. 21, 2010. *** The Solar Eclipse of 1919 had a historic significance.

The subsequent attention given to Eddington's findings helped establish Einstein's reputation as one of science's greatest figures. *** The observation of a total solar eclipse of May 29, 1919 helped to confirm Einstein's theory of general relativity. By comparing the apparent distance between two stars, with and without the Sun between them, Arthur Eddington stated that the theoretical predictions about gravitational lenses were confirmed, though it now appears the data was ambiguous at the time. The observation with the Sun between the stars was only possible during totality, since the stars are then visible.[52] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse Accessed Dec. 21, 2010.

If we add the same amount of years [1,500 years] to 570 AD [the year of Prophet Mohammed’s birth], we end up at year 2070 AD – the year of the first syzygy [planetary alignment] of the 21st century. As we shall recall, the last Psalm refers to year 2050 AD events. The 90th Psalm [the Millennium Psalm] highlights years 2060 and 2070 AD. The first syzygy year of the 21st century is fated, scheduled for year 2070 AD as well. The new “son of the sun” [a.k.a “Son of God”] who rules not only his nation but the world just the same is destined to be crowned seven years after the year 2070 AD.

There are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet just as 22 incarnations were fated for Jesus Christ - once every century! Jesus Christ was destined to be born another 21 more times following his [first] death within the 1st century AD. Jesus “came to life” once every century, lived a life as an ordinary human and died. Contrary to the Christian belief, He is not the “Son” of God but the “Anointed” of the LORD. This is how Judaism and Islam view Jesus Christ. Yet, contrary to the Islamic and Judaic view and in parallel to the Christian faith, Jesus Christ is the “LORD” Himself, a manifestation of the LORD thereof, but only during his first and last lives/incarnations!

All rights reserved. 229 Before we study the significance of the number 19 any further, let’s re-read Revelation 22:13: “I’m Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end” reads the verse. The first and the last [22nd] incarnations Jesus was destined to be “reborn in” would exclusively lived by the LORD of Hosts Himself! Jesus was the LORD, but only during his first life, his Alpha incarnation. He would be a manifestation of the LORD just the same during his 22nd and final Omega incarnation! When the Jews and the Romans crucified Jesus Christ on the cross, they were not aware of the fact that they were attempting to kill the LORD of Hosts who miraculously was born to a virgin, could heal the blind, the deaf and raise the dead! The anger the Vatican has portrayed against the Jews in time can be explained with this simple reason alone: The Jews attempted to kill the Lord of Hosts! The Jews were not aware of the fact that Jesus was the the Lord of Hosts [during his first life], neither did they know Jesus had another 21 lives in his pocket. Yet they ignored, never-minded the miracles Jesus had shown to them. Who could cause a virgin to conceive, who could raise the dead for God’s sake, other than the Lord of Hosts Himself? Moreover, who can dare to even attempt to harm or kill the Lord of Hosts? Yet, Jesus lay dead. Vengeance was due! The LORD of Hosts is invincible and lives forever as declared in Isaiah. The pains Jews had to live throughout history, the prejudice, the racial discrimination, the mass deportations they had to bare, the “fiery ovens” they were thrown in at were all LORD’s retaliation at them for attempting to kill God amidst His life within the body under the name “Jesus Christ”. When Islam was revealed six centuries after the death of Christ, the ultimate sin Jews committed against the LORD was not forgotten. Attempting to crucify the LORD may be the very reason why certain verses of the Koran portray Lord’s anger at the Jews [even though the abomination Jews committed was already six hundred years old by our standards when Islam was first revealed]. Considering the fact that a thousand years is only a day on LORD’s calendar [Psalms 90:4], six hundred and ten years would only mark a 0.61th of a day [the Golden Mean, or the Golden Ratio!] for the LORD who still held his fury against the Jews when Islam was introduced [610 AD].

Christians traditionally believe that Jesus was born of a virgin,[7]: performed miracles,[7]: founded the Church, rose from the dead, and ascended into heaven,[7]: from which he will return.[7]: Most Christian scholars today present Jesus as the awaited Messiah and as God,[28] arguing that he fulfilled many Messianic prophecies of the Old Testament.[29] The majority of Christians worship Jesus as the incarnation of God the Son, of the divine Trinity. A few Christian groups, however, reject Trinitarianism, wholly or partly, believing it to be nonscriptural.[30][31][32] Judaism rejects assertions that Jesus was the awaited Messiah, arguing that he did not fulfill the Messianic prophecies in the Tanakh.[33] In Islam, Jesus (Arabic: ‫ ,ىسيع‬commonly transliterated as Isa) is considered one of God's important prophets,[34][35] a bringer of scripture, and the product of a virgin birth; but did not experience a crucifixion.[36] Islam and the Baha'i Faith use the title "Messiah" for Jesus,[37][38] but do not teach that he was God incarnate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus Accessed Dec. 21, 2010. *** When we return to our thesis regarding the Psalms-Koran relationship, several surprises await us! The 19th Book, 19th Chapter of the Bible, Psalms, illustrates Islam. Incidentally, the 19th Book, 19th verse of the Koran, the holy Book of Islam, signals the birth of Jesus! Furthermore, the 19th Book of the Koran is titled “Marium”, or “Mary”, the virgin who begot Jesus! Coincidence? We most certainly do not think so! The number 19, the holy number that represents the LORD (“the first and the last”) unveils all secrets hidden from man!

[19.9] He said: So shall it be, your Lord says: It is easy to Me, and indeed I created you before, when you were nothing. [19.10] He said: My Lord! give me a sign.

The “LORD” is mentioned six times within the entire 19th Psalm. Six heavenly bodies exist within the asteroid belt, the “firmament” mentioned in the first verse. The 1919 Total Eclipse of the Sun duration was six minutes. The Kaaba [“the Cube”], the “tabernacle” or the “tent for the sun” mentioned in the 19th Psalm is shaped as a cube. A cube has six faces. Prophet Mohammed was born in the 6th century. The “honeycomb” [shaped as the geometric figure hexagon] mentioned in the same Psalm has six corners. The sixth verse describes the Muslim ritual of circling of the Kaaba and Mohammed’s ascension to the heavens - the Miraj. Finally, Islam is known for its Six Pillars of Faith. All in all, the 19th Psalm, hints us, in the between the lines, that Prophet Mohammed was no other than the sixth incarnation of Jesus Christ who is born to life once every century! [Except for his 19th incarnation.] The last verse of the 19th Psalm reads: 14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. The verse and the entire 19th Psalm ends with the words “my redeemer”; Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All rights reserved. 232 hinting the “redeemed”, re-animated, re-vitalized, re-born lives of Jesus Christ – in this case for the sixth time as Prophet Mohammed: the Founder of Islam! Prophet Mohammed was Jesus Christ living his sixth incarnation! No wonder the 19th Psalm highlights the number six so profoundly! With all the data in our hands, we can safely conclude that Jesus Christ is “born again” on the 69th or the 70th year of the century at hand. More often than not, the year of Christ’s new incarnation ends up to be 76-77 years away from the first closest Jubilee Year of the upcoming century. So was the case with Rasputin; “the blessed man that walked” mentioned in the first Psalm who was born in Tyumen Oblast, Russia (the richest province of Russia today) in year 1869; exactly 77 years before 1946: the first Jubilee Year of the 20th century. Ditto for Prophet Mohammed, who was born in Mecca (one of the richest cities in the world today) in year 570 AD (569 AD to some accounts); 76 or 77 years away from the first Jubilee Year of the seventh century: Year 646! The Jubilee Year, as we have exhibited in Psalms Code [Volume I] is the year of LORD’s personal visit to earth! The Jubilee Year cycle is fifty years long which also explains the fifty-year tsunami cycle observed around the globe at or around the Jubilee Years! The LORD visited the earth in year 1946 (Psalm 46: “The LORD of hosts is with us”), and left the earth in year 1947 (Psalm 47: “God is gone up with a shout”). The LORD visited the earth again in 1996 (Psalms 96: “for he cometh to judge the earth”) exactly 50 years after the year 1946! Finally, the significance and the symbolism hidden behind the number 19 could fill several books. Here are a few: • 19th book of the Bible (Psalms) reveal the world events bound to happen between 1901 AD and 2050 AD (150 years after the end of the 19th century!) 19th Chapter, 19th verse of the Koran signals Jesus’ birth and 19th Chapter is titled “Mary”. “I am the first, I am the last” declares the LORD, “Alpha” and “Omega”: 1 and 9 or 19! 19th letter of Hebrew is Kuf. 19th Chapter of the Koran starts with Kaf – the Arabic equivalent of Kuf. The Hebrew calendar observes a 19 year lunar [metonic] cycle. Muslims observe a lunar calendar. The Koran 74:30 reads: “Over it [the Koran] are nineteen” hinting the miracle of the number 19 network across the verses of the Koran. When we plug-in a 19 before the numbers of certain books or verses of the Bible, we get detailed information regarding certain events mentioned in the Psalms at parallel years of reference but in lesser detail.

This is absolutely contrary to Christ's doctrine and name".[155] On the other hand, in keeping with his doctrine of the two kingdoms, Luther did support non-religious war against the Turks.[156] In 1526, he argued in Whether Soldiers can be in a State of Grace that national defence is reason http://www.usn2161.net/19miracle.html Accessed Dec. 21, 2010. *** Prophet Mohammed’s Death A few months after the farewell pilgrimage, Muhammad fell ill and suffered for several days with head pain and weakness.

As we shall study, his third incarnation within the 19th century [21st of the total 22] occurred in the USA. As signaled in the corresponding Psalm, this time Jesus was Royal Raymond Rife – the man who cured all diseases known to man. Finally, on May 19, 1919, ten days before the day of the solar eclipse, Jesus incarnated once again for the last time; this time as Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the “Father of the Turks”, the Founder of modern Turkey – the current motherland of the Turks. The year 1919 was indeed an “end of the world”, but only for LORD’s Anointed Jesus Christ who incarnated one last time in year 1919. His 22nd and final incarnation occured 19 years after the end of the 19th century, and ten days before the first solar eclipse of the new century, in Samsun, Turkey, on May 19, 1919. As explained earlier, the last life, the first and the last incarnations of Jesus were destined to be lived exclusively by the LORD of Hosts Himself. The Bible Isaiah 44:6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. The Koran th 57 Chapter [57.3] He is the First and the Last and the Ascendant (over all) and the Knower of hidden things, and He is Cognizant of all things. of Jesus Christ. The 22nd and last life was lived [19 centuries after the first, and 19 years after the end of the 19th century] in the body, under the name of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the “Father of the Turks” - the historic leader who fought against the imperialist forces of the day, saved a race, built a new republic and had a name and a lastname that were composed of 19 letters. At the end of his miraculous series of lives, Jesus was all. He started his journey, his first life as a Jew [Jesus of Nazareth] lived by the LORD of Hosts Himself, centuries later continued his cycle of lives as an Arab [Prophet Mohammed], and ended it as a Russian [Rasputin], a Jew and a Turk [Lenin], an American [Raymond Rife] and finally the “Father of Turks”, a Turk [Mustafa Kemal Ataturk]. His final four lives, the 19th to 22nd incarnations, were “worn” all at once commemorating his spectacular series of lives with one stunning finale! At the end of the 1,900 year incarnation cycle, by the end of the 19th year of the 19th century, the past, the present and the future of human history were already co-written exclusively by the LORD of Hosts and His Anointed Jesus Christ alone! After a pause of Kaf years [100 years or a century] the new 1,900 year cycle will start again; in year 2019, at exactly 100 years after the end of the first one that ended in 1919! In other words, the new “Jesus Incarnation Cycle” is destined to start precisely in year 2019 – the year the 119th Psalm points at, 19 years after the end of the second millennium following Christ’s birth!

No wonder the 119th Psalm that points to year 2019 events mentions the name “The LORD” 24 times! The 119th Psalm, is the longest Psalm, and is the longest Chapter of the Bible. Mustafa Kemal Ataturk [Key phrase: Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race, In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, the glory of God, day unto day uttereth speech] Psalm 119 Psalm 119 (Greek numbering: Psalm 118) is the longest psalm as well as the longest chapter in the Bible. It is referred to in Hebrew by its opening words, "Ashrei temimei derech" ("happy are those whose way is perfect"). It is the prayer of one who delights in and lives by the Torah, the sacred law. This psalm is one of about a dozen alphabetic acrostic poems in the Bible. Its 176 verses are divided into twentytwo stanzas, one stanza for each letter of the Hebrew alphabet; within each stanza, each of the eight verses begins (in Hebrew) with that letter.[1] The name of God (LORD) appears twenty-four times. Employed in almost (but not quite) every verse of the psalm is a synonym for the Torah, such as dabar ("word, promise") mishpatim ("rulings"), etc.[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psalm_119 Accessed Dec. 21, 2010.

Even his name “Mustafa Kemal Ataturk” is composed of 19 letters. Identifying the 22nd and the final incarnation of Jesus was not easy.

The LORD chose to close the curtains of the 1,900 year incarnation cycle of Jesus with a life lived in the body and under the name Mustafa Kemal Ataturk – “the Father of the Turks”! The Miracle of 19 in Ataturk’s Life • The name “Mustafa Kemal Ataturk” is composed of 19 letters. Ataturk was born on May 19, 1881, 19 years before the end of the 19th century. He died in 10th day of the 10th month of 1938 [102 x 19] at the age of 57 [19 x 3]. He was accepted to the Armed Forces in year 1900 [19 x 100]. The total of the numbers of his student ID 3178 is 19 [3+1+7+8 = 19]. In year 1919 [101 x 19], at the age of 38 [19 x 2] on May 19, 1919, in Samsun, Turkey he ignited the Turkish War of Independence. The ship “Bandirma” he sailed in that day had 19 passengers in it [22 to some accounts]. He served as a President and the Commander in Chief of the Turkish Army for 19 years between 1919 and 1938. The last sentence of his book “The Speech” that reads “Ne Mutlu Turkum Diyene” [“Happy is the one who says, "I'm a Turk"]” is composed of 19 letters. • • • *** • • • • Ataturk on the cover of TIME magazine 24 March 1923.

All rights reserved. 242 The 1,900 year long “re-birth” cycle of Jesus Christ ended at the 22nd incarnation that was destined to be lived by the LORD of Hosts Himself – lived under the name “Mustafa Kemal Ataturk” across various cities of Turkey between the years 1919 and 1938 [a duration of 19 years]; but most importantly in the cities of Istanbul, Samsun and Ankara in chronological order. The initials of the cities “Istanbul”, “Samsun”, and “Ankara” that had the greatest impact on Ataturk’s career during the last 19 years of his life form the word “Isa”: the very name of Jesus in the Koran and in the Islamic world! The verse “which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber”, as we have seen, alludes to Prophet Mohammed who received his first revelation in the Hira Cave [“chamber”]. The same verse alludes to Mustafa Kemal Ataturk as well, the very man who “rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race“ just the same. Starting on May 19, 1919, the “race” Ataturk would rule and run were the Turks - the very day Ataturk deboarded from his “chamber”, his compartment in the “Bandirma” Steamboat. Though the two historic figures are 1,311 years [digits add up to number six!] apart from one another based on their date of births, what they went through as two statesmen, what they achieved politically and established socially were similar. Prophet Mohammed was the 6th incarnation of Jesus Christ, founded the religion of Islam, ruled the Arab nation and was the Commander in Chief of their army. So was Ataturk, the final incarnation of Jesus Christ, a “name” lived by the LORD of Hosts Himself, the Founder of the Republic of Turkey, the Commander in Chief of the Turkish Army and the first President of the Turkish “race”. Finally, in year 1919, the year the 19th Psalm points at, the “bridegroom” mentioned in the verses [“Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber”] alludes to none other than Damat Ferit Pasha, Turkish for “Bridegroom” Ferit Pasha, who had married one of the daughters of the Sultan Abdulmecid I and thus gained the title “damat” or “bridegroom”.

Finally, the verse “In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun” alludes not only to the Kaaba but also to Anitkabir [“Memorial Tomb”] built for Ataturk following his death – the “tabernacle” of those who view Ataturk as the sun that enlightened the darkness of the Turkish people. Ataturk died on the 10th day of the 11th month of 1938 [19 and 19 x 2] at 09:05 AM. He suffered from liver ailment. The entire 38th Psalm is reserved for his death, describes his final hours and the pains he suffered from prior to his death! Psalms 38: [Points to year 1938 events] 5 My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness. 6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long. 7 For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh. 8 I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart. 10 My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me. 11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off. 12 They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long. 17 For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me. 22 Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation. Notice that the 38th Psalm is made of 22 verses. The number 22 is the number of Jesus Christ. The 22nd Psalm reports his first death, and the 38th Psalm describes his last, or the 22nd – the final one died under the name and within the body of Ataturk!

The same key phrases when viewed from this new context explain how the Turkish language may in fact be the root of all languages spoken in the world today, thus the verse: “there is no speech or language where their voice is not heard, their line is gone out through all the earth and their words to the end of the world”. Surprisingly, Ataturk was known for his personal curiosity of the very matter! [Egemenlik verilmez, alınır.] “We Turks are a people who, throughout our history, have been the very embodiment of freedom and independence.” [Biz Türkler tarih boyunca hürriyet ve istiklale timsal olmuş bir milletiz.] Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All rights reserved. 246 He assigned Tahsin Mayatepek [the grandson of Enver Pasha who was known for his Pan-Turkic ideals], the Turkish Ambassador to Mexico [19351937], to research into the matter and report his findings regarding the Sun Language Theory, and the similiarities between the Sun worshipping rituals of the people of the Central Asia, and the South America. Tahsin Mayatepek found and reported several common words, common objects and rituals. Mayans used the Turkish word “tepek” to refer to the hills – Turkish for “hill”. Another word “baba” [Turkish for “father”] meant the same in almost all the languages of the world. The similiarity of the Mayan drums with a crescent moon [the symbol of Turks] painted on them, the similiarity of the patterns of their carpets to their Turkic equivalents were most significant. Furthermore, the daily Sun worshipping rituals of the Mayans resembled that of the daily prayers of Islam very much. Were the Mayans of Turkic origin? The Turkic History Thesis, the twin theory that accompanied the Sun Language Theory of the day claimed so. Contrary to the refusal of both theories by the Western authorities, the verses hint that the Sun Language Theory and the Turkic History Thesis may actually be correct; that the Turks indeed may be the father of all races alive and all languages spoken on earth today! When we consider the true identity of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk who ordered the the two theories to be thesisized, researched into, and brought into the attention of scholars at an international level, authorities may have to reconsider the validity of both theories. His words: “Anatolia [Anayurt or “Motherland” - Asia Minor] has been the cradle of Turks for the past 7,000 years” was disputed by scholars around the world just the same. However, when Ataturk talked about a 7,000 year old past which still remains all too foggy to scholars he knew what he was talking about! The past 7,000 years He mentioned were all eyewitnessed by Him! Finally, when Ataturk said: “Writing history is as important as making it”, he meant more than what he implied. If history were written properly, it would never have been doubted! The Sun Language Theory (Turkish: Güneş Dil Teorisi) Was a Turkic Nationalist pseudoscientific linguistic hypothesis developed in Turkey in the 1930s that proposed that all human languages are descendants of one proto-Turkic primal language. The theory proposed that because this primal language had close phonemic resemblances to Turkish, all other languages can essentially be traced back to Turkic roots. According to the theory, the Central Asian worshippers, who wanted to salute the omnipotence of the sun and its life-giving qualities, had done so by transforming their meaningless blabbering into a coherent set of ritual utterings, and language was born, hence the name. [1] The theory was influenced by the ideas of the French historian Hilaire de Barenton entitled "L'Origine des Langues, des Religions et des Peuples", that all languages originated from hieroglyphs and cuneiform used by Sumerians [2] and the paper of Austrian linguist Dr. Hermann F. Kvergić of Vienna entitled "La psychologie de quelques elements des langues Turques" ("the psychology of Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All rights reserved. 247 some elements of the Turkic Languages"). [3] As described in a 1936 The New York Times article on the curriculum of the newly opened School of Language, History and Geography of Ankara University,[2] “ claims that the Sumerians, being Turks, originating in Central Asia, all languages also consequently originated there and first used by the Turks. the first language, in fact, came into being in this wise: Prehistoric man, i.e., Turks in the most primitive stage, was so struck by the effects of the sun on life that he made of it a deity whence sprang all good and evil. Thence came to him light, darkness, warmth and fire, with it were associated all ideas of time: height, distance, movement, size, and give expression to his feelings the sun was thus the first thing to which a name was given. It was "ag" [pronounced agh], and from this syllable all words in use today are derived. This, briefly, is the theory about the "sun language," and with the new conception of Turkish history it will be taught in the new Angora [Ankara] school. ” In short, based upon a helio-centric view of the origin of civilization and human languages, the theory claimed that the Turkish language was the language which all civilized languages derived from. [4] Thanks to goropism, some remarkable results were obtained: [5] the word for school is derived from Turkish okul (school). God is from Turkish kut (luck). Bulletin is from belleten (to learn by hearth). Electric is from Uyghur yaltrık (shine). Finally, also the word philosophy can be traced back to Turkish origins [6]. According to linguist Ghil'ad Zuckermann, "it is possible that the Sun Language Theory was adopted by Atatürk in order to legitimize the Arabic and Persian words which the Turkish language authorities did not manage to uproot. This move compensated for the failure to provide a neologism for every foreignism/loanword."[7] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Language _Theory - Accessed Dec. 21, 2010. *** Last but not the least; the third subject Ataturk asked his ambassador Mayatepek to collect all information he possibly could about was the lost continent of Mu. The “Lost Continent of Mu” thesis was published by James Churchward in his book titled “The Lost Continent of Mu, Motherland of Man” in 1926. James Churchward In 1926, at the age of 75, he published The Lost Continent of Mu: Motherland of Man, which he claimed proved the existence of a lost continent, called Mu, in the Pacific Ocean. According to Churchward, Mu "extended from somewhere north of Hawaii to the south as far as the Fijis and Easter Island." He claimed Mu was the site of the Garden of Eden and the home of 64,000,000 inhabitants known as the Naacals. Its civilization, which flourished 50,000 years before Churchward's day, was technologically more advanced than his own, and the ancient civilizations of India, Babylon, Persia, Egypt and the Mayas were merely the decayed remnants of its colonies. Geologically, the existence of Mu, as described by Churchward, is extremely unlikely, since the Andesite Line would run through the western parts of the continent.

His knowledge remained incomplete, as the available tablets were mere fragments of a larger text, but Churchward claimed to have found verification and further information in the records of other ancient peoples. His writings attempt to describe the civilization of Mu, its history, inhabitants, and influence on subsequent history and civilization.

Naacals The first recorded use of the term "Naacal" is contained in Augustus Le Plongeon's work from 1896, "Queen Moo and the Egyptian Sphinx." From pages xxiii - xxiv of the preface: "Perhaps also will be felt the necessity of recovering the libraries of the Maya sages (hidden about the beginning of the Christian era to save them from destruction at the hands of the devastating hordes that invaded their country in those times), and to learn from their contents the wisdom of those ancient philosophers, of which that preserved in the books of the Brahmins is but the reflection. That wisdom was no doubt brought to India, and from there carried to Babylon and Egypt in very remote ages by those Maya adepts (Naacal - "the exalted"), who, starting from the land of their birth as missionaries of religion and civilization, went to Burmah, where they became known as Nagas, established themselves in the Dekkan, whence they carried their civilizing work all over the earth." According to Augustus Le Plongeon, the Naacals were the missionaries of Mayan religion and civilization. Le Plongeon advocated that the original, great civilization was in Central America which contrasts with Churchward's view. The next known published use of the word occurred in 1926 when James Churchward used the term in his book, The Lost Continent of Mu, Motherland of Man. According to James Churchward, the Naacal were the people and civilization *** The “Father of the Turks”, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the 22nd and final incarnation of Jesus Christ invited a most serious attention to the case of the lost continent of Mu! If the continent of Mu did actually exist and were inhabited by the people known as “Naacals”, they were highly likely to be of Turkic origin! Naacals called their homeland Mu the “Motherland”. The Turks have a historical habit of calling their homelands “Anayurt”, “Anavatan” or “Anakara” – Turkish for “Motherland”.

Their civilization, which flourished 50,000 years ago, was technologically more advanced than the civilization of Churchward's own time (late 19th to early 20th century), and the ancient civilizations of India, Babylon, Persia, Egypt and the Mayas were merely the decayed remnants of Naacal colonies. Churchward claimed to have gained his knowledge of the Naacals after befriending an Indian priest, who taught him to read the ancient dead language of the Naacals, spoken by only three people in all of India.

Churchward claimed that the ancient Egyptian sun god Ra originated with the Naacals; he claimed that "Rah" was the word which the Naacals used for "sun" as well as for their god and rulers. In volume 2 of "The Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East," Baird T. Spalding makes this remark about the 'Naacals': "The teachings that Buddha received came from the same source as did those of Osiris but in a different way. The teachings that Buddha contacted came from the Motherland direct to Burma, brought there by the Naacals. Osiris' teachings came direct to him, as his forefathers lived in the Motherland and when he was a young man he had gone to the Motherland to study." David Bruton, Spalding's biographer revealed in "Baird T. Spalding As I Knew Him" (IEP, 1956) that Spalding's books were a magical autobiography and essentially fiction.

The word is a cognate in many Oceanic languages, including Melanesian, Polynesian, and Micronesian. In anthropological discourse, mana as a generalized concept is often understood as a precursor to formal religion. It has commonly been interpreted as "the stuff of which magic is formed," as well as the substance of which souls are made. In Polynesian culture, mana is a spiritual quality considered to have supernatural origin—a sacred impersonal force existing in the universe. Therefore to have mana is to have influence and authority, and efficacy—the power to perform in a given situation. This essential quality of mana is not limited to persons— peoples, governments, places and inanimate objects can possess mana. There are two ways to obtain mana: through birth and through warfare. People or objects that possess mana are accorded respect because their possession of mana gives them authority, power, and prestige.

The “Schooner” they sailed in during the expedition was named “Mana”. Mana is also referred to in the Huna religion as the vital life force which flows through the body. The kahuna believed that there are three different kinds of mana within the body. In Māori, a tribe that has mana whenua must have demonstrated their authority over a piece of land or territory. Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All rights reserved. 251 Mana is a word in South Pacific indigenous languages and more recently a New Zealand English word. The indigenous word reflects a nonWestern view of reality, complicating translating. [1] To quote the New Zealand Ministry of Justice: Mana and tapu are concepts which have both been attributed single worded definitions by contemporary writers. As concepts, especially Maori concepts they can not easily be translated in to a single English definition. Both mana and tapu take on a whole range of related meanings depending on their association and the context in which they are being used. [2] In contemporary New Zealand English, the word "mana", taken from the Maori, refers to a person or organization of people of great personal prestige and character. [3] Sir Edmund Hillary, is considered to have great mana both because of his accomplishments and of how he gave his life to service 1919 the 19th Psalm points at. Coincidence? There were none! Katherine Maria Routledge Katherine Maria Routledge, née Pease (1866-1935) was a British archaeologist who initiated (but did not complete) the first true survey of Easter Island. In 1910 the Routledges decided to organize their own expedition to Easter Island/Rapa Nui. They had a state-ofthe-art 90-foot (27 m) long Schooner built and named it Mana. They affiliated with the British Association for the Advancement of Science, the British Museum and the Royal Geographical Society, recruited a crew and borrowed an officer from the Royal Navy. The Mana departed Falmouth on 25 March 1913. They arrived on Easter Island on 29 March 1914. They established two base camps, one in the area of Mataveri and the other at the statue quarry, Rano Raraku and also explored Orongo and Anakena. With the help of a talented islander known as Juan Tepano, Routledge proceeded to interview the natives and catalogue the Moai (giant statues) and the Ahus they had once stood on. They excavated over 30 Moai, visited the tribal elders in their leper colony north of Hanga Roa and recorded various legends and oral histories including that of Hotu Matua, the Birdman cult, clan names and territories and also some data on the enigmatic "rongorongo" script; Van Tilburg credits her with a primary role in assisting preservation of Rapa Nui's indigenous Polynesian culture. The Routledges departed the island in August, 1915 returning home via Pitcairn and San Francisco. *** Surprisingly the very name Katherine Routledge gave to her ship prior to the Easter Island expedition “Mana”; a word that is suspected to be of Polynesian origin, stands for “meaning” in Turkish. The precursor of religion for all mankind started with the concept and the definition of the [Turkish] word “mana” – the meaning! The word “tapu” is yet another word used in everyday life among the Turks. Much like its Polynesian definition, it means “proof, evidence, a certificate of ownership authorized by a higher [usually a governmental] authority”.

In other words, the number ten (10 heavenly bodies), the number six (6 heavenly bodies within the asteroid belt - the “firmament”), and the ratio of 6 to 10 are highlighted within the first verse of the 19th Psalm. The ratio of 6/10 [0.60] is known as the “Golden Ratio”, the “Golden Mean”– the divine ratio [0.618 or 1.618] found in all LORD’s creations across the entire Solar System, “His handywork”! *** Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All rights reserved. 255 A thousand years is only a day on LORD’s calendar [Psalms 90:4]. The 610 years past between the [first] birth of Jesus Christ and the revelation of Koran in his 6th incarnation as Prophet Mohammed , then, would only mark a 0.61th [the Golden Mean, or the Golden Ratio] of a day for the LORD. In other words, only a 0.61th of a heavenly day had passed for the LORD between Jesus’ first birth to Virgin Mary and the year Koran was first revealed [610 AD]. LORD’s fury against the Jews [reflected in various verses of the Koran], much like, at times, Vatican’s intolerance of the very race Jesus belonged to may be due to the fact that the Jews had attempted to kill the LORD, crucified Him on a cross. Jesus was the LORD Himself who exclusively and personally lived the Alpha and Omega incarnations of His Anointed since time immemorial [“I’m the first, I’m the last”]. The keywords “gold”, “fine gold” and the 6/10 ratio of planets within and out of the asteroid belt [“the firmament”] mentioned in the verses and the Koran having been revealed at precisely 0.61th years of a thousand years, 610 years from the first millennium since the birth of Christ, allude to none but the Golden Ratio. Finally, a recent study asserts that the Kaaba, the most sacred site of Islam, sits at the Golden Ratio point between the top and the bottom of the Northern and the Southern hemispheres of the earth respectively. The 610th, 1220th, 1830th years that are equidistant from one another by 610 years [the number of years passed between the birth of Jesus Christ and the first revelation of Koran] were destined to be crucial for Islam, and for Turks that were woven to one another by a bond of fate since day one. Today, almost all holy objects and relics of Islam, including the personal belongings of Prophet Mohammed, a hair of His beard [Sakal-i-Serif], the keys of Kaaba are in the hands of the Turks, on display at the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, Turkey. Again, amidst the first 610 years [0.61th of a heavenly day on LORD’s calendar] the first verses of Islam were revealed. Within the second 610 years from the first, in year 1220 AD [610 + 610 = 1220], the Mongol invader Genghis Khan, a king of Turkic origin, invaded the Islamic lands of Central Asia. Genghis Khan The Islamic lands of Central Asia are overrun by the armies of the Mongol invader Genghis Khan (ca. 1155– 1227), who lays waste to many civilizations and creates an empire that stretches from China to the Caspian Sea.

Finally, the United States Congress passed the Indian Removal Act in year 1830. The Indians who share several common words and traditions with the Turks and are believed to have arrived in North America via Siberia, Central Asia, the known homeland of Turks, were forced into mass deportations. The Indians, the “mana” [Turkish for “the meaning”] of Americas lost their “tapu” [Turkish for “certificate of ownership”] of the land they inhabited thousands of years before the “white men” ever knew such continent even existed on earth. Starting from 1830, the legal status of an average Indian was no better than that of a POW (Prisoner of War) in the US! peacefully as did other tribes; along with fugitive slaves they resisted the removal. The Second Seminole War lasted from 1835 to 1842 and resulted in the forced removal of Seminoles, only a small number to remain, and around 3,000 were killed amongst American soldiers and Seminoles.[5] In 1823 the Supreme Court handed down a decision (Johnson v.

The first removal treaty signed after the Removal Act was the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek on September 27, 1830, in which Choctaws in Mississippi ceded land east of the river in exchange for payment and land in the West.

Never does he call the LORD “my Father” either. The LORD is called “Shamash” [“The Sun”] in ancient Sumerian texts, and is depicted as the Sun on Egyptian obelisks and monuments just the same. Even on Jewish Menorahs, the LORD is depicted as the center candelabra called “Shamash” [“The Sun”]. Immanuel’s biblical title is not the “Son” but rather the “Anointed” of the LORD. “Son of the Sun” or “Son of God”, as we have studied in year 1902, is a phrase used only for kings that ruled the world during the period of their reign and had an army at their disposal. As we have illustrated, a “Son of God” is always coronated to the throne seven years after an 88year syzygy – a planetary alignment. For a correct and accurate interpretation of each and every verse of the Book of Psalms the key needed was one: the name of Immanuel Jesus Christ! And his number, twentytwo! Incidentally, there are twenty-two letters in the Hebrew alphabet. The Psalm that describes the first [AD/CE] death [crucifixion] of Jesus Christ is also numbered 22.

[1 “and” 9 = 19] It is with this “light” of the sacred number “19” that we were able to decode the hidden message of the Psalms! When we realized the holiness of the number 19, we counted the books of the Bible and started at the 19th one. The 19th book of the Bible was no other than the book of Psalms. It is then we immediately realized how the 19th book was extraordinary, special and “holy”, just as the number assigned to it, number 19, was destined to be since time immemorial. Finally, it did not take us too long before we found out that Psalms was the very book of the Bible that enlisted all major events bound to happen between years 1901 AD and 2050 AD within its 150 verses! 19th book of the Bible and 19 centuries since the [first] birth of Immanuel, Jesus Christ were next to one another! 19th book of the Bible [Psalms] plus eight years [19+08=1908] enlisted the major events of the year 1908 AD as we have exhibited. In our year 1908 and 1918 studies, we argued that the LORD landed or hovered above the Tunguska, Russia so that He could visit “son of man” in person. So far, the number 19 had always been our main guide in our mission to decode the hidden, secret message of the Psalms. The number 19 unlocks not just the message of the Psalms, but the hidden message of several books of the Bible, including Isaiah, one of the most quoted and respected books of the Old Testament! When we add a 19 before certain verses of Isaiah, we get detailed descriptions of certain events mentioned in the Psalms at parallel years of reference! Take Isaiah 8:8. When we plug-in the number “19” before the 8th Chapter of Isaiah, we end up with year 1908 [19 + 08 = 1908] – the year of the Tunguska Explosion: Isaiah 8: 8 And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel. Isaiah 8:8 is one of the two verses that the word “Immanuel” [Jesus Christ] is mentioned within the entire Old Testament. Isaiah 8:8 describes the “name”, the spaceship of the LORD [alternative definition of the Hebrew word for name – “shem”] mentioned in the 8th Psalm, and explains further how “the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel”! What did stretch out his wings in year 1908 that “fill[ed] the breadth of Immanuel’s land”? The Name of the LORD! The spaceship of the LORD that either landed or hovered above the site of Tunguska in 1908, in the land of Immanuel [Rasputin] who at the time was living in Russia, the “land” of the Tunguska Explosion. As illustrated, certain details of the events mentioned in the verses of certain Psalms can also be obtained from other books of the Bible when and once a parallel year of reference is established! 19th book, 8th Chapter of the Bible [Psalms, Chapter 8] points at year 1908 AD events.

All we did was to plug-in the holy number 19 before the 8th verse of Isaiah to find out more about year 1908 AD events that the 8th Psalm already reported in lesser detail! In order to understand the message of Isaiah 8 fully, we need to be aware of the status quo of world politics of the day. In year 1908, the Ottoman and the Russian Empires were at the edge of sinking down in the annals of history due to the 1908 Young Turk and the 1905-1907 Russian Revolutions that displaced the foundations of the two empires, their Sultan and Tsar respectively. Also note that within the very month of the Tunguska Explosion, the “Son of God” King Edward VII was visiting his cousin Tsar Nicholas II of Russia. They were accused of discussing the partitioning of the Ottoman [Turkish] Empire. Finally, the Bolsheviks were busy trying to establish a “Union of the Soviets/Bolsheviks” within Russia the same year. The 12th verse of Isaiah 8 speaks of a “confederacy”. The dictionary definition of “confederacy” is: con·fed·er·a·cy (kn-fdr--s) n. pl. con·fed·er·a·cies The Bolsheviks, the Soviets also known as Communists were talking of forming a “confederacy”, a “union” - the Soviet Union in 1908! Isaiah 8: 9 Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces. 10 Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us. 11 For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying, 12 Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. The “blessed” man mentioned in the first Psalm, the “Lord” who is “with us” was Immanuel, better known to us as Jesus Christ. Isaiah 7: 14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. 15 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good. 1. 2. a. A union of persons, parties, or states; a league. b. The persons, parties, or states joined in such a union. c. Confederacy The Confederate States of America. A group of people who have united for unlawful practices; a conspiracy. In year 1908, Immanuel, Jesus Christ was living a life under the name and within the body of Rasputin. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/confeder acy - Accessed Dec. 21, 2010.

The Number 19 and 22 Revelation 22: 12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Rasputin had four children in 1908. As reported in the above verse, “I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts”. If Jesus Christ is “born again” or incarnated once every century, his birth in 1869 within the 19th century and his life within the body and under the name of Rasputin would mark his 19th incarnation ever since his first birth to Virgin Mary. By the year 1908, he already had been born 19 times and was busy living his 19th life! Revelation 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. The 22nd Psalm illustrates the crucifixion of Christ. There are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet. Rasputin’s formal name “Grigori Yefimovich Novik” is composed of 22 letters! --------------------------------------------------Rasputin: Grigori Yefimovich Novik Born 22 January 1869 (1869-01-22) Pokrovskoye, Siberia, Russian Empire Died 29 December 1916 (1916-12-29) (aged 47) Saint Petersburg, Russian Empire Cause of death Homicide Nationality Russian Other names The Mad Monk The Black Monk Occupation Russian Orthodox Monk Title Father Grigori Religion Russian Orthodox Spouse Praskovia Fedorovna Dubrovina Now, when we plug-in the holy number 19 before the above verse of another book of the Bible, Revelation, we end up at year 1922 [19 and 22nd Chapter of Revelation = 1922] – the 1900th commemoration year of Jesus Christ’s crucifixion on the cross. If we re-read the verse, we immediately realize that the first and the last (22nd) incarnations of Christ were destined to be “lived” by the LORD of Hosts Himself! Thus the name “Immanuel” – “the LORD is with us”! Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever.

The LORD visits the earth on the 46th and the 96th years of every century as hinted in the 46th and 96th Psalms that point to years 1946 and 1996 respectively with the verse: “The LORD of hosts is with us” - the same phrase that defines the meaning of Christ’s biblical name “Immanuel”. The LORD visited the earth in 1946, stayed for a year and left the earth in 1947 as signaled in the 47th Psalm with the verse “God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet”. His second visit followed fifty years later in 1996; as we have exhibited in our year 1946 study (Psalms Code, Volume I). Jesus incarnated once every hundred years; more often than not 77 years before the two Jubilee Years of the century in question. Rasputin was born in year 1869; 77 years before the first Jubilee Year of the 20th century (year 1946). As we shall study, Prophet Mohammed was born in year 570 (569 to some accounts); 76 or 77 years before the first Jubilee Year of the 6th century (year 646)! However, as the number of the LORD the 19th incarnation had to be special. And special, it was. Within and right after the end of the 19th century Jesus lived not one, not two, not three but four lives as reported in the verses of the corresponding years of Psalms! The final incarnation of Immanuel – a life destined to be lived by the LORD of Hosts Himself, is first signaled in the 17th Psalm (that points to year 1917 AD - a year after Rasputin’s death): Psalms 17: 15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness --------------------------------------------------The LORD “redeemeth” [saved, rescued, vitalized, re-animated] the “soul of his servants” as declared in the 22nd verse of the 34th Psalm. Psalms 34: 22 The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate. In other words, 22nd verse of the 34th Psalm highlights the vitalized [re-born] souls of Lord’s “servants”. The servants of the LORD would never be “desolate” – would never die [a permanent death!] The number 22 is a significant number in the Psalms, so is the 22nd Psalm that describes the [first] death, the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. There are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet. A total of 22 incarnations are fated for Christ ever since his [first] birth to Virgin Mary. In other words, and in simple math, the number 22 equals Jesus Christ! The first and the last [22nd] incarnations of Immanuel were destined to be lived exclusively by the LORD of Hosts – “the beginning and the end; the first and the last”! The Jubilee Year, the holiest day of the Jews, is observed every fifty years. Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All rights reserved. 266 The good news of Immanuel “awaking” to life (incarnating) one last time with LORD’s “likeness” was given at the end of his 19th life lived under the name and within the body of Grigori Rasputin – “blessed [is] man that walketh…” of the 1st Psalm. The final four [19th to 22nd] incarnations of Jesus were all too simultaneous! We first saw him as Rasputin, the “blessed man that walketh”. He then was “made” or turned into Lenin, “the head of the heathen” who ordered the death of the Tsar who had arranged Rasputin’s murder. Then, as we shall study in detail, in his third life, he was Raymond Rife who tried to save mankind from all kinds of deadly diseases. During his final and 22nd incarnation he was Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the Founder of theTurkish Republic, who, as hinted in the 17th Psalm would reveal the “likeness”, the “face”, the “glory” of the LORD! Again, the word “speech” mentioned in the 19th Psalm is the very title of the book authored by Ataturk! Ataturk delivered his “Speech” [“Nutuk” in Turkish, a perfect equivalent of “Speech” in English] at the Turkish Parliament from 15 to 20 October 1927, in 6 days, 36 hours – hinted in the 19th Psalm with the key phrases: “The glory of God”, “day unto day uttereth speech”! 19th incarnation of Jesus was extremely important, just as number 19 is, was and will always remain. Jesus not only lived four “lives” in it, he also moved his incarnation counter to 22 – consuming all there was “anointed” to him including the last one. He “used up”, consumed his incarnation quota! The final one, the 22nd incarnation was reserved exclusively for the LORD of Hosts, and lived by Him in the body and under the name “Mustafa Kemal Ataturk” [a name and a lastname composed of 19 letters] for 19 years. In other words, by the end of the 19th century, the gauge of incarnation pointed to number 22 already! There were no more incarnations left to be fulfilled. Finally, the 22nd, the last letter in the Hebrew alphabet is Tav. Like the number 22, Tav has a peculiar significance. Significance of Tav In Judaism, Tav is the last letter of the Hebrew word emet, which means truth. The midrash explains that emet is made up of the first, middle, and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet (Aleph, Mem, and Tav: ‫.)תמא‬ Sheqer (falsehood), on the other hand, is made up of the 19th, 20th, and 21st (and penultimate) letters. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taw#Significan ce_of_Tav - Accessed Dec. 21, 2010. *** According to the Midrash perspective, the first, the the middle and the last lives of Immanuel would have to declare “emet” – the truth! As we have seen, the 1st and the 22nd lives of Immanuel were destined to be lived by the LORD of Hosts – the “Emet”, the Truth Himself! As expected and as foretold, the first life was lived as “Jesus Christ” by the Lord of Hosts Himself. He came to life as a human boy who miraculously was born to a virgin! Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All rights reserved. 267 Following a series of lies and betrayal, the Romans and the Jews of the day killed him by nailing him to the cross. What they thought they murdered at that point in time was a false messiah. If only they knew they crucified the LORD of Hosts Himself who only appeared human! Jesus Christ was the LORD of Hosts living the first incarnation of Jesus Christ, as Jesus Christ, in the body of Jesus Christ! Without a shadow of a doubt, The LORD of Hosts is invincible! “I live for ever” [Deuteronomy 32:40] says the LORD. The “ordinary” man the Romans and the Jews thought they killed at that point in time had another twenty-one spare lives in his pocket! Not one, not two but another twentyone lives! If only the persecutors knew! The apparent historical dispute between the Jews and the Vatican, the Jews and the Muslims may be due to the simple fact that Jews killed Jesus Christ at his first life – a life that was destined to be lived by the LORD of Hosts Himself! The LORD of Hosts who personally had to die the first death of Jesus never forgave those who attempted to kill Him! No wonder, both Christianity and Islam (religions both established by Jesus Christ during his first and sixth incarnations respectively) distance themselves from Jews, who until their “Ultimate Sin” have always been viewed as the Lord’s Chosen Ones. In return and retaliation for attempting to murder the Lord, the Jews had to burn in fierce ovens, suffer mass deportations, racial prejudice and discrimination ever after. When Christians call Jesus Christ “the LORD”, they are not insisting on a deliberate mistake. The term is right, but only for the 1st and the 22nd incarnations – the only incarnations destined to be lived by the LORD of Hosts Himself! Parallel to the Midrash perspective quoted, another true incarnation, the “middle”, the 11th one within the total of 22 was lived within the body and under the name Yusuf Khas Hajib, the author of one of the earliest Turkish texts “Kutadgu Bilig”.

He wrote the Kutadgu Bilig and most of what is known about him comes from his own writings in this work. Balasagun was located near presentday Tokmok in Kyrgyzstan. Yusuf Khas Hajib was about 50 years old when he completed the Kutadgu Bilig. After presenting the completed work to the prince of Kashgar he was awarded the title Khāṣṣ Ḥājib, an honorific similar to "Privy Chamberlain" or "Chancellor". Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All rights reserved. 268 He is often referred to as either Yūsuf Balasaguni or Yūsuf Khāṣṣ Ḥājib.

Translated, the title means something like "The Wisdom which brings Happiness" or "The Wisdom that Conduces to Royal Glory or Fortune" (Dankoff, 1), but has been translated more concisely as "Wisdom Which Brings Good Fortune".[1] The text reflects the author's and his society's beliefs, feelings, and practices with regard to quite a few topics, and depicts interesting facets of various aspects of life in the Karakhanid empire. While not produced in Turkey, and more accurately referred to as Turkic literature, the Kutadgu Bilig is often considered to belong to the body of Turkish literature. … … 2.

In praise of God (1-33) *** Yusuf Khas Hajib was about 50 years old when he completed writing Kutadgu Bilig. He was born in 1019 AD [77 years before the 2nd Jubilee Year Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All rights reserved. 269 of the 11th century]. In other words, Kutadgu Bilig was completed in year 1069 AD. We have observed a pattern that is valid for most of Jesus’ incarnations. Prophet Mohammed was born on the 70th year of the sixth century. Rasputin was born on the 69th year of the 18th century. So was Lenin – born on the 70th year of the same century. Yusuf Khas Hajib was born on the 69th year of the 10th century – not physically but metamorphically with the release of his book Kutadgu Bilig. Except for the Alpha [first] and Omega [last] incarnations that were reserved for the LORD of Hosts, almost all incarnations of Jesus had something going on on the 69th or the 70th year of the century they lived in. The 69th or the 70th year of any century usually marked the birth of a new incarnation of Jesus! In order to identify the historic character that may have been a past incarnation of Jesus Christ, we need to look into the 69th or the 70th year of the century at hand. That is exactly what we did when we searched for the “middle”, the 11th incarnation of Jesus. We studied the year in question, year 1069-1070 AD, and the answer was sitting there waiting for us to explore further. 1069 was the year Kutadgu Bilig was released. Kutadgu Bilig, “Wisdom Which Brings Good Fortune” is not an ordinary text. The Turkish word “kut” stands for “luck” also means “God”. When we view the entire work from the context we are in, Kutadgu Bilig may very well be titled “Wisdom Which Brings God”! All we did was to replace “Good Fortune” with the word “God” – the second meaning of “kut” in Turkish. God [Kut] has inspired another piece of scripture in year 1069, this time to Yusuf Khas Hajib, the 11th and the middle incarnation of Jesus [out of the total of 22]. Kutadgu Bilig ranks with Psalms, but not much thought has been spared for it in known history. Take the 19th “bab” [section] of Kutadgu Bilig, titled: “Full Moon explains the virtues of the tongue”. The Full Moon, the God, or the religion that is represented by the symbol of a Moon “explains the virtues of the tongue” – the language! The number 19 is the number of the LORD. Out of 85 total babs/sections, it is in 19th bab that we run into the concept of God revealing secrets about how language came to be, how it evolved or developed in humans! Furthermore, the 22nd “bab” [section] reads: “Full Moon’s admonition to his son Highly Praised”. 22, as we have studied, is the number of Jesus Christ. The very 22nd bab/section of Kutadgu Bilig talks about God’s [Full Moon’s] “admonition to his son Highly Praised”! Yusuf Khas Hajib is highly likely to be the 11th incarnation of Jesus Christ. As he most often does, Jesus made himself known on the 69th or the 70th of the century at hand again; this time in year 1069 AD as Yusuf Khas Hajib, the author or the scribe of Kutadgu Bilig. When we keep on reading the titles of the remaining 83 babs/sections of Kutadgu Bilig, we immeditately realize that there is more to Kutadgu Bilig than what meets the eye. The entire work tries to explain the celestial mechanisms behind man’s existence, past, present and future. Kutadgu Bilig starts with the bab/section “In praise of God”, and Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All rights reserved. 270 continues with the next bab/section “In praise of the Prophet” and ends with the two section headings titled: “Highly Praised mourns for Wide Awake” “The king consoles Highly Praised” Just reading through the section headings of Kutadgu Bilig will reveal several references to God, Jesus, incarnation cycle and even the Dalai Lamas. The reported history of Dalai Lamas starts in 1300’s. Like the Pope who serves as the head of the Church that is seated upon a holy hill of the LORD (the Vatican), the Dalai Lamas serve as the head of Tibet – the site of another “holy hill” of the LORD (Tibet). Parallel to our “first and last incarnations to be lived by the LORD of Hosts” thesis, the 14th Dalai Lama, the current leader of Tibet claims that he could be the last Dalai Lama! Virgin Mary and ended with the life and death of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. No new incarnations of Immanuel or reincarnations of the Dalai Lama are due till the year 2019 AD, and in the case of Dalai Lamas, even after the year 2019! Finally, according to Midrash, “Sheqer (falsehood) is made up of the 19th, 20th and 21st (and penultimate) letters”. The 19th, 20th and 21st lives, then, had to be counted as “false”, void, insignificant! In other words, the 19th, 20th and the 21st lives Immanuel lived under the names “Rasputin”, “Lenin” and “Royal Raymond Rife” respectively failed to bring beneficial results for humanity and thus had to be ranked and filed as “false”, void or insignificant incarnations. The 119th Psalm [a 100 plus 19] that points to year 2019 events is the longest Psalm and hosts the word “The LORD” 24 times. Year 2019 will mark the start of a new 1,900 year long incarnation cycle for Immanuel, this time offering him 24 lives. As declared in the mentioned verses, the first life or incarnation will exclusively be lived by the LORD of Hosts Himself again who personally has declared to be “the first and the last”! When we study the first life of Jesus Christ lived 1,900 plus 100 years ago, we can guess what the first life out of the 24 new ones due may bring to all mankind. During his first life, Jesus Christ, or Immanuel (“Lord is with us” as He is called in the Old Testament), established a new religion that we call Christianity. Much like the biblical Patriarch Jacob who had 12 sons (who in return grew up to be the patriarchs In the mid-1970s Tenzin Gyatso, The Fourteenth Dalai Lama, told a Polish newspaper that he thought he would be the last Dalai Lama. In a later interview published in the English language press he stated "The Dalai Lama office was an institution created to benefit others. It is possible that it will soon have outlived its usefulness."[39] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalai_Lama#Fu ture_of_the_position - Accessed Dec. 21, 2010. *** The new incarnation cycle which will host not 22 but 24 brand new lives for Immanuel is near.

Thus and therefore, the all new 1st life of Immanuel due to be unveiled in year 2019 may just reveal another religion to mankind. Year 2019; the year the 119th Psalm points at, gives several clues about the new content and the 24 incarnation characters of the new Jesus/ Immanuel Cycle. The 119 Psalm is the longest Psalm and hosts the word “The LORD” 24 times, hinting a brand new cycle of a total of 24 incarnations for Immanuel. The very first and the last lives, in this case the 1st and the 24th ones will be exclusively lived by the LORD of Hosts Himself! As of today, year 2010, we can safely conclude that we are living in a historic era. Just nine years from today, in year 2019, Immanuel, “the LORD” who “is with us” shall un-veil His 1st life and incarnation; the life that will kick off His new 1,900 year cycle of 24 brand new lives/incarnations. Whether we will see Him, [in all His Glory] as a spiritual or a political leader, a hero of a nation or a prophet of a new religion still remains to be awaited till the year 2019. To sum it up, Psalms report the major events destined to happen on earth between the years 1901 and 2050 AD. The new 24 lives long incarnation cycle of Immanuel is scheduled to start in 2019 AD. Moses highlights years 2060 and 2070 AD respectively in the 90th Psalm – the Millennium Psalm, which reads “[in year 2060 or 2070 AD] … and we fly away”. Year 2070 AD will host the first syzygy of the 21st century. Finally, in year 2150 AD, the Age of Pisces will end and the Age of Aquarius will start. th Century/ Incarnation/ HebrewLetter 1 [FIRST] 1st Aleph 2 2nd Bet-Vet 3 3rd Gimmel 4 4th Dalet 5 5th Hey 6 6th Vav 7 7th Zayin 8 8th Chet 9 9th Tet 10 10th Yod 11 [MIDDLE] 11th Kaf-Haf 12 12th Lamed 13 13th Mem 14 14th Nun 15 15th Samech 16 16th Ayin 17 17th Pey 18 18th Tsadie 19 19th Qof 20 20th Resh 21 21st Shin 22 [LAST] 22nd Tav Years [AD] 0-99 100-199 200-299 300-399 400-499 500-599 600-699 700-799 800-899 900-999 1000-1099 Name/ Birth-Death Year Jesus Christ Lived by THE LORD ? ? ? ?

The 114 Chapters, “suras” of the Koran are no different! The Koran, known for its miracle, the network of the number 19 across its verses report world events destined to happen between years 1901 AD and 2014 AD just the same! As we have seen, the number 19 is the Number of the LORD [“1”, the First and “9”, the Last = 19]. The Bible Isaiah 44:6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. Koran reveal about the year of the 9/11 attacks. The Psalm spared for year 2001 is Psalm 101. The “Sura”, the Chapter of the Koran spared for year 2001 events is numbered the same – the 101st Sura! Psalms Psalms 101:1 <> I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing. 2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. 3 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. 4 A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person. 5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer. 6 Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me. 7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. 8 I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD. The Koran 57th Chapter [57.3] He is the First and the Last and the Ascendant (over all) and the Knower of hidden things, and He is Cognizant of all things. Both the book of Psalms and the Koran report major world events destined to happen on earth on a year by year basis. Both books refer to events [at certain times all at once] destined to occur within the 20th and the 21st centuries – the timeframe that started with the end of the 19th century!

The “mountains” alluded that “shall be as loosened wool” are no other than the twin towers of the World Trade Center that collapsed during the 9/11 attacks! We all remember the videos of the World Trade Center tenants who were throwing themselves off their windows, freefalling to the ground on the day of the attack - “the day on which men shall be as scattered moths”! And how would we be sure the year 2001 event alluded in the 101st Sura of the Koran are the 9/11 attacks? “A burning fire” [Koran 101.11] it was! One major fire that lasted for days! Case closed! Clear as daylight! The Koran, just like the Psalms, has another layer! The layer where major events bound to happen on earth within the year of reference is reported in its verses just the same! The 101st Psalm spared for year 2001 AD events provides yet another detailed account of the 9/11 attack as seen from the eyes of the US President of the day – George W. Bush, who promises to “walk within [my] house with a perfect heart”. The house alluded is none other than White House! The verse that reads “I will set no wicked thing …” alludes to the President’s refusal of the secret plan to knock down the two towers of the World Trade Center! “I hate the work of them that turn aside” reads the next verse in allusion to the aircrafts that “turned aside” vertically before they crashed into the two towers of the WTC. “It shall not cleave to me” reads the verse hinting that the White House was planned to remain un-harmed after the attacks, right from day one! The 101st Chapters of both Holy Books report the events bound to happen in year 2001! The 101st Sura of the Koran spared for year 2001 events is titled “Calamity” – disaster!

The man in charge of the “calamity” or who “slandereth his neighbour”, who “worketh deceit” was someone who “dwell[s] within my house [the White House]”, who “serves” the President – a top government officer! Another attribute of this top officer mentioned in the 101st Psalm is reported as his habit of telling lies: “he that telleth lies”! High looks… A proud heart… A lying mouth… A man of deceit… With all the evidence provided, I’m sure most of us can name this very person behind the 9/11 attacks without a second thought! The President was not in it. But he seems to have done nothing to stop him “whoso privily slandereth his neighbour” either. Finally, the entire inside job is reported have been planned so that the President of the US, the Commander in Chief of the US Army could have a valid reason to invade Baghdad (“the city of the LORD”) immediately following the “privily” planned 9/11 attacks! The word Baghdad is defined as either “Fair Garden”, “God’s gift” or “Godgiven”. The “God-given” city, “the city of the LORD” last verse of the 101st Psalm alludes to was no other than Baghdad, the capital of Iraq – the ancient land of the Sumerians, of history, of wealth and abundance, and of oil! Finally, the same Psalm alludes to Saddam and his family with the phrase “the wicked of the land” as viewed and reported by the US President of the day. 8 I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD. Is it not spectacular to witness the two holy books, the Psalms and the Koran [that are 3,000 and 1,400 years old respectively] reporting us the details, the truth behind the world events of our day? The Psalms and the Koran are LORD’s gifts to us. As we unveil the Secret of the LORD hidden in the two holy books, we remain breathless. The LORD of Hosts had it all written in the two books thousands of years before the events “came to pass” before our very eyes! The generosity of The LORD is beyond comparison! He provided the past, the present and the future that awaited us and had them all written, thousands of years before we actually ran into them! The two Holy Books, the two Gifts of God enable us, the mankind, to travel within time; a feat we are still unable to perform! A timeless, priceless gift - a gift only GOD could offer!

The key phrases “many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all”, “O magnify the LORD with me”, ”The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles“ allude to Royal Raymond Rife. According to the 1987 bestselling book “The Cancer Cure That Worked”, Rife had found the cure for cancer, (and demonstrated it in year 1934) but was “surpressed by a conspiracy headed by the American Medical Association”. In year 1934, the Turkish Parliament gave the name/lastname “Ataturk” to Mustafa Kemal. Mustafa Kemal Pasha, from 1934 and on, was to be known and remembered as Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.

Those in attendance had assembled to observe what the Portuguese secular newspapers had been ridiculing for months as the absurd claim of three shepherd children that a miracle was going to occur at high-noon in the Cova da Iria on 13 October 1917.[1] According to many witness statements, after a downfall of rain, the dark clouds broke and the sun appeared as an opaque, spinning disc in the sky.[2] It was said to be significantly less bright than normal, and cast multicolored lights across the A photostatic copy of a page from Ilustração Portugueza, October 29, 1917, showing the crowd looking at the Miracle of the Sun during the Fátima apparitions http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/com mons/5/56/Newspaper_fatima.jpg Accessed May 12, 2010.

The event was attributed by believers to Our Lady of Fátima, an apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary to three young shepherd children in 1917, as having been predicted by the three children on 13 July,[8] 19 August,[9] and 13 September[10] 1917. The children reported that the Lady had promised them that she would on 13 October reveal her identity to them[11] and provide a miracle "so that all may believe."[12] According to these reports, the event lasted approximately ten minutes.[13] The three children also reported seeing a panorama of visions, including those of Jesus, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and of Saint Joseph blessing the people.[14] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Miracle_of _the_Sun - Accessed May 12, 2010.

Eucharist, from Greek εὐχαριστία (eucharistia), means "thanksgiving". The verb εὐχαριστῶ, the usual word for "to thank" in the Septuagint and the New Testament, is found in the major texts concerning the Lord's Supper, including the earliest: For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me." (1 Corinthians 11:23-24) The Lord's Supper (Κυριακὸν δεῖπνον) derives from 1 Corinthians 11:20-21.

Whether the name of the LORD known as Aton or Aten to Amenhotep IV is synonymous with the “atom” of our day remains a mystery. Nevertheless, what atom, the basic matter, reflects almost has the same structure of what Aton points at (the Sun, or the Solar System). If we take the Sun to be the nucleus of the Solar System, there we have the planets flying in orbit around it – much like the way protons and neutrons do around the nucleus of an atom! *** The symbol of Shamash Radiating solar disk During a few centuries around 1000 B.C. this symbol was used in the Euphrates-Tigris region to represent the sun and the sun god Shamash, the greatest power, or the highest divinity. http://www.symbols.com/encyclopedia/25/2 516.html - Accessed Aug. 10, 2010. Atom The name atom comes from the Greek "ἄτοµος"—átomos (from α-, "un-" + τέµνω - temno, "to cut"[2]), which means uncuttable, or indivisible, something that cannot be divided further.[3] The concept of an atom as an indivisible component of matter was first proposed by early Indian and Greek philosophers. In the 17th and 18th centuries, chemists provided a physical basis for this idea by showing that certain substances could not be further broken down by chemical methods. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, physicists *** Atom (Greek for “indivisible”) is the basic unit of all matter. Now proven to be divisible without a doubt, an atom is capable of releasing large amounts of energy when split. In 1934, a scientist known as Enrico Fermi (without being aware of it) accomplished the historic feat of splitting of the atom - hinted in the verses “O magnify the LORD with 282 Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All Rights Reserved.. discovered subatomic components and structure inside the atom, thereby demonstrating that the 'atom' was divisible. The principles of quantum mechanics were used to successfully model the atom.[4][5] Atoms are minuscule objects with proportionately tiny masses. Atoms can only be observed individually using special instruments such as the scanning tunneling microscope. Over 99.9% of an atom's mass is concentrated in the nucleus,[note 1] with protons and neutrons having roughly equal mass, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom Accessed May 12, 2010. the speed at which the neutron was most impacted differed for every element. For these two discoveries about atoms, Fermi was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1938. The timing was just right for the Nobel Prize. Antisemitism was strengthening within Italy at this time and though Fermi was not Jewish, his wife was. Fermi accepted the Nobel Prize in Stockholm and then immediately immigrated to the United States. He arrived in the U.S. in 1939 and began working at Columbia University in New York City as a professor of physics. Fermi continued his research at Columbia University. Though Fermi had unknowingly split a nucleus during his earlier experiments, credit for splitting an atom (fission) was given to Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann in 1939. However, Fermi quickly realized that if you split an atom's nucleus, that atom's neutrons could be used as projectiles to split another atom's nucleus, causing a nuclear chain reaction. Each time a nucleus was split, an enormous amount of energy was released. Fermi's discovery of the nuclear chain reaction and then his discovery of a way to control this reaction led to both the construction of atomic bombs and of nuclear power. During World War II, Fermi worked diligently on the Manhattan Project to create an atomic bomb. After the war, however, he believed the human toll from these bombs was too large. In 1946, Fermi worked as a professor at the University of Chicago's Institute of Nuclear Studies. In 1949, Fermi argued against the development of a hydrogen bomb. It was built anyway. http://history1900s.about.com/cs/people/p/f ermi.htm - Accessed May 12, 2010. *** Enrico Fermi (September 29, 1901 -- November 29, 1954) Enrico Fermi made important discoveries about the atom, which led to the splitting of the atom (atomic bombs) and the harnessing of its heat into an energy source (nuclear energy). In 1934, Fermi came up with the idea to use neutrons, which have no charge, as projectiles. Fermi would shoot a neutron like an arrow into an atom's nucleus. Many of these nuclei absorbed the extra neutron during this process, creating isotopes for every element. Quite a discovery in and of itself; however, Fermi made another interesting discovery. Though it doesn't seem to make sense, Fermi found that by slowing down the neutron, it often had a larger impact on the nucleus.

Rife also claimed that a "beam ray" device could destroy or weaken the pathogens by inducing destructive resonances in their constituent chemicals.[4] Rife's claims could not be independently replicated, and active scientific interest in the devices had dissipated by the 1950s.[citation needed] Interest in Rife's claims was revived in some alternative medical circles by the book The Cancer Cure That Worked (1987), which claimed that Rife's work was successful. The book also claimed that his cure for cancer was suppressed by a conspiracy headed by the American Medical Association.[5] After publication, a variety of devices bearing Rife's name were marketed as cures for diverse diseases such as cancer and AIDS. In 1929 Rife was granted a patent for a high-intensity lamp for use in microscopes.[9] The micrographs and cine films of disease organisms he made with his first microscope (picture, top of page) were widely reported in the press. On November 20, 1931, forty-four doctors attended a dinner advertised as "The End To All Diseases" at the Pasadena estate of Milbank Johnson. This dinner was honoring Arthur I. Kendall, professor at Northwestern Medical School and developer of the "Kendall Medium" or "K-Medium," and Royal Rife, the developer of the "Rife microscope." Moving microorganisms from prepared, diseased human tissue were reportedly seen, still-photographed and motion pictured.[10] In a 1932 report in Science, a Mayo Clinic physician named Edward C.

Notice how the word “magnify” used in the 34th Psalm alludes both to the minute level of atom related research and to the gigantic level of magnification Raymond Rife applied on viruses and microbes. Rife was known for his hand-made microscopes which were composed of thousands of separate parts. He had personally built his microscopes that magnified the tissues and cells many more times [up to 60,000x] than the technology of the day enabled [up to 2,500x]. According to Rife, optical microscopes and magnification were a must, as they did not alter the body and the nature of the tissue or cell under observation the way the electron microscopes did. system of lenses and prisms as well as the illuminating units are made of block-crystal quartz, quartz being especially transparent to ultraviolet radiations.[13] It subsequently featured in the 1944 Annual Report of the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution.[14] In a 1932 report in Science, a Mayo Clinic physician named Edward C. Rosenow wrote that in addition to other small particles viewable with the standard lab microscope, small turquoise bodies termed eberthella typhi were seen in the filtrate that were not visible in the lab microscopes, which Rosenow attributed to "the ingenious methods employed rather than excessively high magnification".[11] The identity of these bodies is unknown. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Rife#Rif e.27s_microscopes - Accessed May 12, 2010. *** What Dr Rife claimed is that each microbe has its own resonance frequency.

Dr. Milbank Johnson, who held the banquet in Dr. Rife's honor, was about to announce the results of the 1934 study of the sixteen cancer patients who were reportedly cured. However, he never got to make that announcement. It is reported that just hours before making the announcement, he was fatally poisoned and his papers were "lost." It is reported that Morris Fishbein, sole stockholder of the American Medical Association, tried unsuccessfully to buy the rights to the Rife machines. Soon afterwards, written records, stop motion photographs, film and other evidence of Rife's work began disappearing. Part of his Universal Microscope's nearly 6,000 pieces went missing. It is reported that the police then entered his laboratory, ransacked it and took the rest of his research records. Dr. Nemes, who had duplicated some of Rife's experiments, was killed in a suspicious fire. His records were also destroyed in the fire. Just as scientists at the multi-million dollar Burnett Laboratory located in New Jersey were about to announce they had validated the Rife technology, the laboratory was also destroyed by a suspicious fire. Reports are that doctors who defended Dr. Rife and his work lost their hospital privileges and foundation grants. The Beam Ray Corporation was the only company manufacturing the Rife Beam Ray machine. Royal Rife was not a partner of the Beam Ray Corporation.

It is reported that they brought sixteen terminally ill cancer patients who were near death form the Pasadena County Hospital to the laboratory of Dr Rife to be treated with the Rife frequency generator. The plan was for the patients to be examined in 90 days if they were still alive. Reports are that after the 90 days, the patients were examined and fourteen of them were declared cured. The other two stayed at the laboratory. Their treatments were intensified. Four weeks later, those two were also declared cured. 287 Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All Rights Reserved..

It is in the 34th Psalm that we are given the key phrases: “The eyes of the 288 Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All Rights Reserved.. LORD”, “the face of the LORD”, “the LORD is nigh”. The messages we get from the key phrases are as thus: The LORD is here on earth, not on a personal visit, but is manifested in a human body. People see his face, people see his eyes. and most of all, He is “nigh”, near! Near to who? “To them that are of a broken heart”. Who are those that are “of a broken heart”? The “young lions” that suffer hunger, those with “contrite spirit” – the Turks who not only lost their “dominion” which was taken away from them and handed over to Americans in 1908, but [after a six century long semi-global reign] were now on dire straits; suffering from hunger and poverty in year 1934! As we have seen our year 1919 study, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk was the 22nd and the final incarnation of Christ during his 1,900 year long journey since his first birth to Virgin Mary. The first (Alpha) and the last (Omega) incarnations of Jesus Christ were to be exclusively lived by the LORD of Hosts Himself who declared it in both the Bible and the Koran: “I am the first, I am the last”. In year 1934, when the surname law (that forbids nicknames and personal titles) was adopted in the new Turkish Republic, the Turkish Parliament gave the name/lastname “Ataturk” to Mustafa Kemal (Turkish for “Father of the Turks” or “Father Turk”). Mustafa Kemal Pasha, from 1934 and on, was to be known and remembered as Mustafa Kemal Ataturk [“let us exalt his name together, They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed”]. The 22nd verse makes clear: “The LORD redeemeth” the soul of his servants” hinting how the LORD constantly redeemed, re-vitalized, reanimated the lives of Jesus. The very name Jesus means “Yahweh saves”. Jesus, a servant of the LORD, never died a permanent death and will never either! He will always be “saved” by the LORD of Hosts who will grant him a brand new life at will. Moreover, the number 22 is the number of Jesus Christ. No wonder it is in the 22nd verse that we are reminded of this fact once again! Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, who was named “the Father of the Turks” in year 1934, lived the final, the 22nd life of Jesus so that he could save “his people”, the Turks, from their enemies, establish a new republic with modern laws, and personally rule and govern his people till his death in 1938.

All Rights Reserved.. Introduction Ataturk passed away on November 10, 1938 at 9:05 AM. He suffered from liver ailment. The 38th Psalm at its entirety reports his final days. Ataturk was the 22nd and the final incarnation of Christ. Christ’s 1,900 year life cycle ended with the life and death of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. As promised and signaled, the first and the last lives of Jesus (“Yahweh saves”), the man who died not, was to be lived personally by the LORD of Hosts. In other words, Jesus was the LORD of Hosts Himself during his first and last lives, during his Alpha and Omega incarnations. The Death of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk Anitkabir [“Memorial Tomb’] in Ankara, Turkey Ataturk passed away on November 10, 1938 at 9:05 AM. He suffered from liver ailment. The 38th Psalm at its entirety report his final days. The 38th Psalm (19x2=38) is important, just as all Psalms that are multiples of the number 19 (19, 38, 57, 76, 95, 114, 133) are. 19 is the number of the LORD (“I am the first, I am the last”) – “1” and “9”, or “19”. Psalm is the 19th book of the Bible. Ataturk was hinted to us within the verses of the 19th Psalm (19th book, 19th Chapter of the Bible). Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, as we have studied in year 1919 had a network of the number 19 all across his life. His name “Mustafa Kemal Ataturk” is composed of 19 letters. He was born on May 19, 1881, 19 years before the end of the 19th century. He started the Turkish Independence War on May 19, 1919, just ten days before the total solar eclipse of year. He personally governed and run the Turkish Independence War and the Turkish people from 1919 to 1938, a period of 19 years. He authored “Speech” that 297 Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All Rights Reserved.. ends with the line: “Ne Mutlu Turkum Diyene!” – [Happy is he who says: “I’m a Turk”] is composed of 19 letters. He died in 1938, at the age of 57 (19 x 3 = 57). Ataturk was the 22nd and the final incarnation of Christ. Christ’s 1,900 year life cycle ended with the life and death of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. As promised and signaled, the first and the last lives of Jesus (“Yahweh saves”), the man who died not, was to be lived personally by the LORD of Hosts. In other words, Jesus was the LORD of Hosts Himself during his first and last lives, during his Alpha and Omega incarnations. Notice how the 38th Psalm that reports Ataturk’s death is composed of 22 verses. 22, as we have seen, is the number of Jesus Christ. The 34th Psalm that alluded to the life of Royal Raymond Rife was also composed of 22 verses. The 71st Psalm that points to year 1971 events reports the death of Royal Raymond Rife, the 21st incarnation of Jesus Christ - the man who cured all deadly diseases known to man. Though Ataturk was the final incarnation of Jesus (within the past 19 centuries ever since his first birth to Virgin Mary) his 21st incarnation Royal Raymond Rife lived longer. Ataturk died in 1938 but Raymond Rife lived till 1971. The 71st Psalm that is devoted to Rife’s death is made of 24 verses, not 22 as we would all expect. There is a reason for that. As we have studied in year 1919, the new 1,900 life cycle of Jesus will start in year 2019 – a 100 years after the end of the prior one in 1919. As signaled in the 19th Psalm, the old 1,900 year cycle was the equivalent of 22k gold (“gold”) and offered 22 lives for Jesus Christ. The new cycle due to start in year 2019 is equivalent to 24k gold (“fine gold”) and will thus offer a total of 24 lives for Jesus Christ. The very first and the very last lives of Jesus will again be lived by the LORD of Hosts Himself. Year 2019 is only nine years away. All lives of Jesus Christ were historic. But his first and last lives were timeless. If we live to see it, a holy figure, a new character bound to be a historic one again in the history of mankind is due to reveal Himself in year 2019. Psalm 110 that points to year 2010 events reads: “The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent”. The LORD of Hosts who will live the first life of Jesus Christ in year 2019, starting off his new 1,900 cycle of not 22 but 24 lives this time, has already “sworn” in to the office He will make Himself known at only nine years from now! The new life is destined to be a golden one, manifested in a human form and body, and is to be lived amidst and against all odds all humans face and live with in every day life. The LORD has already sworn in to the office he will make himself known at in year 2010! In year 2019, we will be given a clue about who He had chosen to be. The 119th Psalm, the longest Psalm, that points to year 2019 events gives several clues as to what to expect. It seems like much about Ataturk’s death was kept secret and not released to the media or the public. “My wounds stink and are corrupt…” reads the 5th verse. “For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease and there is no soundness in my flesh” reads the 7th one. “My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off” reads the 11th verse. “For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me” reads the 17th verse. 298 Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All Rights Reserved.. Ataturk is known to have suffered from liver ailment. However, the verses explain a series of illnesses, not just one, highlighting a skin-related one, a broken leg perhaps (“my foot slippeth”), much severe pre-death conditions, and the phrase “my groaning” that depicts the loud pains Ataturk had to endure during his final hours.

Introduction The 71st Psalm is a farewell Psalm – one that sums up all the 22 lives Jesus had lived during the past 1,900 years. With the death of Dr. Rife, Jesus completed his cycle of 22 lives. There were no more Jesuses alive on earth from then on. Jesus had the habit of writing farewell letters, or delivering farewell speeches throughout all his incarnations. Rasputin had written a last letter, a farewell note to Nicholas II that warned him about what laid ahead. Prophet Mohammed delivered a “Farewell Speech” months prior to his death just the same. So did Ataturk. His selfauthored and self-titled “Speech” summed up all he did for the Turkish nation from 1919 to 1927.

All Rights Reserved.. The Death of Royal Raymond Rife The 71st Psalm is devoted entirely to him and reports his final days before death. Rife was buried next to his first wife Mammie who, interestingly enough died a day after her 71st birthday. Her records show that Mammie was a Mongolian – a Turk! It seems like most, if not all, incarnations of Jesus were of Turkic origin. Ataturk was a Turk, Lenin was half Turk, Yusuf Khas Hasib was a Turk, Prophet Mohammed was called the “Turk” by Martin Luther centuries later… And now, the first wife of Rife was a Turk! From “My Rife Journal” by Jim Furey Royal and Mammie Rife http://www.fdaapprovedpainrelief.com/wpcontent/uploads/2008/11/parejarife.bmp Accessed December 6, 2010. *** Today [August 10, 2001] I went to Mount Hope Cemetery in San Diego to see where Rife was buried. The records at the cemetery said that his account there was taken care of by the state. (San Diego Public Administrator). That basically means that either he was poor, or that he had no surviving relatives, so in place of any person taking care of the account, the state steps in and finalizes things. He [Raymond Rife] is buried next to his first wife Mamie (who's name they misspelled on their records as "Mayme" (but luckily NOT on her grave stone). Also on her card her race was listed as "Mongolian". I was told it was customary at that time (1957 at the time of her death) to put race on their cards. (Rife had "W" for "white" on his, even during 1971). Her maiden name was Quin, and that was listed both on her card and on her grave stone as her middle name. There are quite a number of Quins also buried in the immediate vicinity which makes me wonder if this was the family plot.

She was one of a few daughters of Ah Quin, who was a businessman. Checking out his name might be the easiest. If I go there again, I'll check. Mamie's birthday was October 7, 1886, which made her a year and a half older than Rife. She died the day after her 71st birthday, while Royal lived on to be 83. http://www.jimfurey.com/sciencenow/rife/rif ejour.html - Accessed December 6, 2010. The 71st Psalm is a farewell Psalm – one that sums up all the 22 lives Jesus had lived during the past 1,900 years. With the death of Dr. Rife, Jesus completed his cycle of 22 lives. There were no more Jesuses alive on earth from then on. Jesus had the habit of writing farewell letters, or delivering farewell speeches throughout all his incarnations. Rasputin had written a last letter, a farewell note to Nicholas II that warned him about what laid ahead. Prophet Mohammed delivered a “Farewell Speech” months prior to his death just the same. So did Ataturk. His selfauthored and self-titled “Speech” summed up all he did for the Turkish nation from 1919 to 1927. He personally read it aloud at the Turkish Parliament – a feat that took him 6 days, 36 hours to complete. The 18th verse of the 71st Psalm reads as follows: 18 Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come. *** Rife died penniless - much like Jesus, Rasputin, Prophet Mohammed and almost all the other incarnations of Jesus. The man who cured cancer did not even have his own grave when he died. He was buried next to his first wife. Thanks (!) to the American Medical Association, all Rife-related research, inventions and correspondences were allegedly burnt down to the ground and destroyed totally from 1934 to 1950. The “enemies” of Rife were busy wiping off Rife’s name from the medical arena ever after just the same. Rife’s cure for cancer caused a threat to the happy sales of the drug giants. The inefficient medicine they sold that was subscribed by millions of patients brought home sure-shot profits year after year. Dedicated “customers” could now be all lost if and once Rife’s methods were applied on them. Rife cured cancer. He knew it. AMA (American Medical Association) knew it. Rife proved it over and over again, first on mice then on humans. Unfortunately, certain cartels were not too happy about what Rife achieved back in 1934. Rife was 83 years old when he died. Jesus is thanking the LORD for all the lives He had provided for him. Notice the line: “I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come” – confirming our thesis of Jesus being born once every century or “generation” (except for his 19th incarnation that hosted not one, not two, not three but four lives, all at once). The almost extra-terrestrial life form Jesus introduced to mankind with his 22 seperate lives came to halt with the death of Dr. Royal Raymond Rife. 305 Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All Rights Reserved.. The series of 22 (20 excluding the first and the last) separate lives Jesus personally lived on earth one after the other is described as follows in the 7th verse: 7 I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge. 17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works. 15 My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof. The 24th verse that reads “for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt” alludes to the American Medical Association that was found guilty of “conspiracy” by a US Court of Appeals nine years after Rife’s death.. Notice how the 19th verse is devoted to the LORD who is known for His number 19: 19 Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee! It has been reported that in 1980, the American Medical Association was found guilty by a US Court of Appeals of "conspiracy to restrain competition. . . New methods of health care have been discouraged, restricted and in some instances eliminated." http://www.royal-rife.com/ - Accessed May 12, 2010. Also notice how the 71st Psalm hosts a total of 24 verses signaling the due 24 new lives of Jesus! His upcoming 24 new lives (22 excluding the first and the last), his new 1,900 year incarnation cycle due to start in 2019 is also hinted. 20 Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth. 21 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side. 23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed. 24 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt. 14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more. *** Finally, year 1971 marked the 900th anniversary of the Battle of Manzikert (Malazgirt) fought in 1071 AD that enabled Turks to move into their current homeland Anatolia and paved the way for their mass conversion to Islam. Year 1971 also marked the 1,900th anniversary of the Second Siege of Jerusalem by Titus. All sacred objects of the Holy Temple were carried over to Rome as an aftermath of the siege. As implied in between the lines, year 2071 AD will equally host some historic events. In the Millennium Psalm, the 90th Psalm, Moses highlights the year 2060 and 2070 AD, “for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.” reads the verse, hinting that a remnant among the Jews may actually leave 306 Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All Rights Reserved.. the earth, or be transported up to Zion/Mars in year 2060 or 2070 AD. Year 2070 is a syzygy year, the year of another grand planetary alignment. As we have seen, 7 years after a syzygy year a “Son of God” is destined to be coronated/inaugurated to the throne here on earth. What we call “history”, in a way, is the biography of Jesus. The almanac of mankind is nothing but the diary of Jesus! - The man who died not! Psalms 118: 17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD. 18 The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death. space-time we call past, present and future. To those who still doubt it, there is a God and the LORD of Hosts is His Name. The time travel the LORD has provided for us within the 3,000 year old verses of the Psalms reflects all the proof and evidence one can ever want for confirming God’s existence. Hallelujah, the LORD is awesome! Hallelujah, the LORD is! Hallelujah, there is no other God whatsoever! Indebted we shall remain. And forever, that is. To the LORD of Hosts who knows all, owns all and rules all! Amen. In year 2019, a brand new 1,900 year Jesus Cycle will begin that shall crown Jesus 24 new lives. The first and the last incarnations of Jesus were fated to be lived exclusively by the LORD of Hosts Himself - the Alpha (the First) and Omega (the Last). The first new character of the brand new Jesus Cycle is highly likely to portray a prophet who may deliver a brand new religion to mankind as hinted in the 118th Psalm: Psalms 118: 26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD. 28 Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.

All Rights Reserved.. The newspaper obituary for Royal R. Rife that appeared in The Daily California on August 11, 1971 against him in his efforts to rid mankind of the scourge of disease. “Having spent every dime I earned in my research for the benefit of mankind, I have ended up as a pauper, but I achieved the impossible and would do it again,” Rife said in an affidavit filed at the time his friend and associate, John Crane, was appealing his conviction. He accused the American Medical Assn. of rejecting his electronic therapy discoveries and implied the organization had “brainwashed and intimidated” his colleagues as well as “feloniously censored” the publication of his work. “I certify that the AMA and the Department of Public Health have declared war on Rife’s Virus Microscope Institute,” said the affidavit signed Feb. 7, 1967. Rife built his microscope, one of five he invented, so he could actually see disease viruses and observe their activity, a triumph which astounded scientists at the time. From his observations, Rife developed the theory that every micro-organism has a “mortal oscillatory rate” – a point at which it will shatter or break apart when bombarded by sound waves. He had conceived the idea of electronic therapy as early as 1922, but it was not until 1934 in the Ellen Scripps home near La Jolla that he was ready to demonstrate “Rife’s Ray.” Sixteen patients with incurable diseases were treated by physicians with Rife’s Ray in a clinical test of the machine supervised by Dr. Milbank Johnson of Los Angeles Scientific Genius Dies Saw Work Discredited LA JOLLA —The scientific genius who built one of the world’s most powerful microscopes and invented a machine to treat cancer and other diseases was buried today in Mt. Hope Cemetery. Royal Raymond Rife, 83, whose Frequency Instrument – a method of electrocuting disease-causing organisms in the body – was the subject of intense debate during the 1950’s, died Thursday at Grossmont Hospital of a heart attack. Alone and virtually penniless, he had been living in an El Cajon rest home since last year. Acclaimed by the scientific world in the 1930’s for his invention of the Universal Microscope, a mechanical marvel containing 5,280 parts and a magnifying power 20 times as great as any then in existence, Rife lived to see some of what he considered his most important work discredited by the medical profession. The Frequency Instruments, used by some doctors across the United States in treating a variety of diseases, were confiscated. Reputations were ruined and one of Rife’s associates served three years in prison before winning a reversal of his conviction on grand theft charges. Though Rife himself was not prosecuted, his reputation was sullied and he clung to the suspicion that organized medicine had conspired 308 Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever. All Rights Reserved.. The claim was made that 14 of the 16 patients were pronounced “clinically cured” by the medical staff within 70 days and the remaining two patients were discharged after three months of treatment. In the next 20 years, Rife perfected his machine – later to be called the Frequency Instrument – and about 100 of them were in use by physicians in various parts of the world. Affidavits are on file in the courts from patients who claim they were cured of cancer, butterfly lupus – a skin ailment – and other diseases after treatment with the Frequency Instrument. Scientists and physicians also claimed success with Rife’s invention. One of his closest collaborators was Dr. Arthur Kendall, professor of bacteriology at Northwestern University Medical School, who wrote that he had observed successful treatment of a tumor on a man’s cheek. E.L. Walker of the George Williams Hooper Foundation, an early-day cancer research organization, hailed the device for its effectiveness against typhoid organisms. *** 309 Psalms Code II - The Secret of the Lord - © 2010 Savasan Yurtsever.
