Daniel Chapter 2

Hello Again Neighbor,

Have you ever had a VISION; or, a DREAM from the Almighty? I have. In fact, I have more than a handful.  

There are (3) three that have played a HEAVY ROLE in what I believe; and, what I PURSUE to understand. 

Mine didn't BEGIN until I was in College and came on the heels of intentionally seeking the face of the one who can heal what is broken within me. 

“And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions."  

- Joel 2:28

Should you turn to ACTS 2:17 you will discover it repeats this prophecy of Joel verbatim.

When we arrive at Daniel Chapter 2 we discover King Nebuchadnezzar has had dreams; and, his spirit was so troubled his sleep left him. I wish I could say I didn't know what that was like. Unfortunately I've experienced this myself rather personally. Waking up in a cold sweat. Hyperventilating. Troubled. Within my own most troubling dream/vision I sat up in bed and I cried out to Yeshua (not even fully awake) thus waking myself; my wife; and, my children out of a dead sleep with my fervent troubled cry. Indeed several have been most terrifying.  

He speaks in dreams, in visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on people as they lie in their beds.  

- Job 33:15 

And the LORD said to them, “Now listen to what I say: 

"If there were prophets among you, I, the LORD, would reveal myself in visions. I would speak to them in dreams." 

- Numbers 12:6  

Just as Pharoah (head of Egypt) would be given dreams by the Most High to be interpreted by the Hebrew named Joseph; so would King Nebuchadnezzar likewise have a dream that would also be interpreted by another Hebrew. 

Apparently the Most High God has decided that HE will speak to mankind; and, often to elicit some change in circumstances for the nation to whom HE is speaking. 

In this case the nation is BABYLON; and, the vision is given through its King Nebuchadnezzar who is mentioned some (104) one-hundred four times in the AMP Bible; and, (88) eighty-eight times in the NKJV, NIV, ESV, CSB, NASB20, NASB95, & LSB Versions.  

This man Nebuchadnezzar II ("May Nebo Protect the Crown") was likewise given dreams and visions; just as Pharaoh had been given dreams; and, visions. It is likely not even his true name; but, rather is a throne name. 

Pharoah's vision was meant to help preserve life. It was meant to convey a message that Joseph would interpret; and, use to shepherd Egypt during a time of great crisis. Nebuchadnezzar's vision however came upon the heels of something else. 

The Text tells us the vision was during Nebuchadnezzar's 2nd year ruling. 

Nebuchadnezzar I:

Ruled from approximately 1125 to 1104 BC. He was a ruler of the Second Dynasty of I-sin who famously defeated the Elamites and recovered the stolen sacred statue of the god MARDUK.

Nebuchadnezzar II:

Ruled from 605 to 562 BC. He is the much more famous king featured extensively in the Bible, known for conquering Jerusalem, exiling the Jews, and building grand architectural marvels like the Ishtar Gate and the legendary Hanging Gardens.

The Character we are reading about in Daniel is Nebuchadnezzar II. 

𒀭𒀝𒆪𒁺𒌫𒊑𒌶

(Nabû-kudurri-uṣur)

 

This is most likely a Throne Name as it means:

• "Nabu protect my heir" or 
• "Oh Nabu Watch over My Eldest Son"). 

As a result of this dream King Nebuchadnezzar who rules many lands of the middle east calls his magicians; the astrologers; the sorcerers; and, the Chaldeans to tell the King his dreams. 

Why? 

I suspect that His dream has fled from him. Ever have that happen? You have a dream then upon waking it flees from you; and, its memory is all but a mist that has evaporated leaving you wonder with amazement?

* Magicians  חרטמּים  

* Astrologers (Conjurers) אשּׁפים  

* Sorcerers    מכשּׁפים  

* Chaldeans  כּשׂדּים   

We are instructed that the Chaldeans spoke to the King in Aramaic. 

Hence, it is quite likely that the King likewise answered them back in Aramaic. 

The Aramaic was the common tongue; the everyday language in the Babylonian Empire; and, also in Assyria; and, likewise in Persia. All these nations utilized both the Aramaic; and, the Cuneiform to rule their nations. 

Aramaic was NOT the language of the Official Government Documentation. 

It was the everyday tongue. Why have I repeated this now? 

Because it is important to recognize what language the Children of Judah were reading, writing, and speaking by the time they returned to the Land we call Israel.

The people of Judah who had been captives in Babylon for over 70 years had a challenge. They couldn't understand the HEBREW anymore. Only the Priestly class could. Those who had known it died off in the captivity. The rest became accustomed to the Aramaic. Teaching it to their sons and daughters. 

It's the very reason why the TARGUMS even EXIST to begin with. Read about them here.

You should study them. Then. Compare them to the MT Masoretic Text.

You will notice the differences. They exist for a reason. You won't like it.

Pay attention to the MEMRA of YHVH within them.
MEMRA is an Aramaic word meaning "WORD"

The King was obviously disturbed as we see by his decision to cut the men to pieces; and, burn their houses to ash heaps if they do not reveal to him the meaning behind this vision; this dream that has vexed Nebuchadnezzar so despondently. In response he chooses to threaten them with violence; and, death, unless He is given what he demands. Give me what I want. Or I'll KILL you. He is DESPERATE to remember; and, understanding this dream that has fled from him as his eyes opened and the light of day erased it like the morning dew that evaporates with the sun. 

He also tells them that IF they can tell him the dream; and, its interpretation they would receive gifts, rewards; and, great honor. He is bribing them with their deepest desires; and, their very lives. Just tell me the dream; and, its interpretation!!!

"The Chaldeans answered the king; and said 'There is not a man on earth who can tell the King's matter; therefore no king, lord, or ruler has ever asked such things of any magician, astrologer, or Chaldean. It is a difficult thing that the King requests; and, there is no other who can tell it to the King EXCEPT THE GODS, whose dwelling is not with flesh."

Have you ever had a dream; and, then upon waking it flees from you? And you struggle to remember it? I suspect that is what was happening to King Nebuchadnezzar. I suspect his memory upon waking was fading. So he calls those men in his kingdom whom he believes can offer him the answer he seeks. What he asks of them is not possible. Not by any natural means. Nebuchadnezzar is so enraged that the text tells us that a decree went out; and, they began to kill the Wisemen. 

Daniel 2:14

"Then with counsel and wisdom Daniel answered Arioch the Captain of the King's guard, who had gone out to kill the wise of Babylon; he answered and said to Arioch the King's Captain, 

'Why is the decree from the King so urgent?' 

Then Arioch made the decision known to Daniel.  So Daniel went in and asked the King to give him time, that he might tell the King the Interpretation.

Then Daniel went to his house; and, made the decision known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah his companions, that they might seek mercies from the God of Heaven concerning this secret, so that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the rest of the wise of Babylon.

Then the Secret was revealed to Daniel in a night vision."

 

 

Daniel 2:26

"Then the King answered and said to Daniel whose name was BELTESHAZZAR 

'Are you able to make known to me the dream which I have see; and, it's interpretation?' 

Daniel answered in the presence of the King, and said:

'The Secret which the King has demanded, the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, and the soothsayers cannot declare to the King. But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets; and, HE has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the latter days.'

 

 

Daniel 2:31:

"You oh King, were watching and behold a great image! This great image whose splendor excellent, stood before you; and, it form awesome. This image's head of fine gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay."

(4) FOUR METALS & CLAY. 4 MAJOR DIVISIONS.

"You watched while a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces.

 ITS FEET HAS 10 TEN TOES

Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver; and, the gold were crushed together; and, became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; the wind carried them away so that no trace of them was found.

NEIGHBOR. I TELL YOU THE TRUTH.
THIS CRUSHING (BY THE STONE)

IT SHALL OCCUR IN THE SUMMER 

And the stone that struck this great image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth. This is the dream. Now we will tell the interpretation of it before the King." 

Daniel 2:37

"You O King, a King of Kings. For the God of heaven has given you a kingdom, power, strength, and glory; and, wherever the children of men dwell, or the beasts of the field and the birds of the heaven, He has given into your hand; and, He has made you ruler over them all -- You are this head of Gold.

"...But After you shall rise another kingdom

inferior to yours..."

 

 

"...then another, a third kingdom of bronze,

which shall rule over all the earth."

(the belly and thighs of bronze)

"...And the Fourth Kingdom shall be as strong as IRON, in as much as IRON breaks in pieces and shatters everything; and like IRON that crushes will break in pieces and crush all the others. 

This (4th) Kingdom will break into pieces and crush the geography (and people) of the previous (3) three. In order to properly decipher this riddle in Daniel we must examine both the Bible; and, history as we scour its details for clues that will help us to accurately and with wisdom answer the one who has questions.  

"...whereas you saw the feet and toes partly of potters clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the IRON shall be in it, just as you saw the IRON mixed with CERAMIC CLAY. And the toes of he feet partly of IRON and partly of CLAY, so the kingdom will be partly strong; and, partly fragile.

As you saw IRON mixed with ceramic CLAY, they will mingle with the seed of men; but, they will not adhere to one another; just as IRON does not mix with CLAY.

And in the days of these kings [The 10 Kings: feet and toes] the God of Heaven will set up a Kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and, the Kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever."

*** 4 METALS. 4 DIVISIONS. 4 CLUES *** 

 "In as much as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands...and that it brake in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold the great God has made known to the King what will come to pass after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation is sure.

Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face, prostrate before Daniel, and commanded that they should present an offering and incense to him."

[HONORING DANIEL LIKE A GOD WITH THE OFFERING & THE INCENSE]

The King answered Daniel, and said, 

"Truly your God is the God of gods, the Lord of Kings; and, a revealer of secrets, since you could reveal this secret." 

"Then the King promoted Daniel and gave him many great gifts; and, he made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon; and, chief administrator over all the wise men of Babylon. Also Daniel petitioned the king; and he sat Shadrach, Meshach; and ,Abed-Nego over the affairs of the province of Babylon; but Daniel sat in the gate of the King." 

 

The Vision that was given to both King Nebuchadnezzar & to the prophet Daniel.

Friends. Neighbors. Thank you for taking the time to read this article. If you like it I just ask that you would share it. We shall be exploring the Kingdom of Babylon in great detail. Examining it from the lens of it's God's; it's Temples; it's Calendar; it's religious festival's; and how they point to an older culture and a story of our origins that are frankly difficult to consider due to their prophetic implications.

Why am I sharing this with you? 

To well acquaint you with...

The Servant of the Living God named Daniel. 

To help you to see what he saw.
To hear what he heard.
To know what he may have known.

All in a bid to hep you understand this prophetic book;
and, how it ties directly into the book of Revelation
The revealing of the ten (10) toes.
The Divided Empire.
Iron and Clay.

That you may see what time it is.

Because I am to be its witness.
Just as you are also to be its witness.

There are many whose blood shall be shed.
By those who worship the dragon.
They are already among us in many nations.
Their intention is to fight until the last great day.
To strive in the way of Allah.
To fight until all submit to Allah.
To fight until all the unbelievers...

are either converted to the Way of Islam

or to be killed by those who believe

they are doing a service to their God.

Just as Mehemet II. 

The 21 Year Old Sultan.

Who Conquered Constantinople.
The very rider upon the White Horse in Revelation 6:2.

The Ottoman Empire Conquering the Capital of Christendom.

May 29, 1453

The one whom History calls:

"The Father of Conquest"

"The Conqueror"

The one who goes out conquering and to conquer...

The Letters to the Seven Churches.
The most important cities of the Byzantine Empire.
The Ottomans referred to them as "The Romans."

Judaism refers to the Romans as "Edom."
But what the the Bible say?

Come along with me and find out.

In the mean time.

Study out. "Edom"

Look up every place it appears.

In the Bible and the Apocrypha.

Within the Bible repeatedly it declares.

Edom is Esau.

Esau is connected to Ishmael.

Via Marriage. And.
The Worship of Ishmael's God.

Neighbor the seals have been opening since the 14th Century.
We are much further along within the book of Revelation.

I have much to share with you from the six (6) years I lead a men's study group at CRC Norco Men's Prison where I would discover my love for both teaching; and, the very book of Daniel itself as his soul speaks to me through the study of its words recorded in both Aramaic; and, Hebrew. Of all the people in the Kingdom of Heaven I would like to meet HE would be in the top 5. I would want to inquire of him how he managed to hold fast to his faith in spite of everything he endured. 

Thank you brother in Heaven for recording your words. I have spent many hours pouring over them. 

For you oh reader; may the spirit of the Living God

speak to your soul too.

 
See you in the  next post.

Shalom

The Prophet Daniel - Babylonian Astronomy

In Chapter one of the book of Daniel we discovered that Daniel and his companions were considered to be "...ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers who were in all his realm." These young men were skilled; technically accurate; and probably had a great deal to do with why a group of MAGI would travel to Jerusalem to bear gifts to a Jewish King. I have strong suspicion these MAGI were among those trained (by others who had been trained) by Daniel himself; who was to be made CHIEF OF THE MAGI (Daniel 2:48).

Magicians: החרטמּים. Root is חַרְטֹם pronounced (Khar-tome)

• diviner, magician, astrologer
• engraver, writer (only in derivative sense of one possessed of occult knowledge)

Astrologers: האשּׁפים. Root is אַשָּׁף pronounced (Ash-shawf)

• necromancer, conjurer,
• (TWOT) astrologer, enchanter, exorcist

This term "MAGI" appears (7) times in the AMP Bible's text.
Other translations render it as "wise men."

When the Magi finally arrived to offer gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh the Empire of Babylon was no longer in existence. The Empire that ruled over much of the former Babylon was none other than the Parthian Empire. 

Many people falsely believe there were three (3) kings that brought gifts to the baby Jesus. As a youth I would portray one of these men bringing gifts to the Messiah at a Christmas-time Musical All Souls the Episcopal church I attended with my parents. However the text never declares there were three (3) Kings. It declares there were (3) three GIFTS. 

The most accurate depiction is that there was a great caravan that travelled with these men who brought gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh to Yeshua's parents. Gifts they would need to flee; and, to survive economically in Egypt during their period of hiding from Herod. While these men were in fact PERSIAN'S from PARTHIA it is my own belief that these were MAGI who had probably been trained by those; who had been trained by others...

By those who had been trained...by Daniel the prophet in Babylon.

A man who had SERVED in the courts of several Ancient Kings. Both of Babylon & of Persia.

* Nebuchadnezzar. King of Babylon

* Cyrus King of Persia

* Darius the Mede King of Persia

When I was in college I took Astronomy because I thought it would help me to better understand the Bible and its use of astronomical symbolism. I also thought (in error) that we would be looking at the heavens through telescopes. Boy was I in for a surprise. I spent most of the time in Lab doing Math. 

MATH. MATH. MATH (EYES GO WIDE AND PULLS HAIR OUT). SCREAMS IN AGONY.

FYI I am NOT a Math guy. As boring as that was I would discover that the Babylonians had calculated (to within 6 minutes) the amount of time it takes for the earth to make a complete rotation around the sun. 6 Minutes. That's how close they got to today's calculations which use powerful microprocessors to make such precise calculations.

They watched the heavens almost as it were an obsession. Why would they do such a thing? What was their own fascination with the Heavens based upon? The Babylonians weren't the first people group to watch the heavens with precision. 

Before them the Sumerians also observed the heavens. Why? Why so obsessed? 
Friends I have a strong suspicion it is related to the 200 + impact craters.

You know. The ones that pepper the face of our ecosphere we call planet Earth. Below I have listed the top 12 confirmed impact craters based upon their estimated rim-t0-rim diameter.               

Since taking Astronomy in College I have been curious about the many impact craters which exist upon the face of our planet. I also have great interest in the field of archeology; and, archeoastronomy. Among the most ancient site that currently hold my attention are the uncovered pillars at the site in Turkey called "Göbekli Tepe." 

The Göbekli Tepe comet strike theory proposes that ancient stone carvings at the 11,000-year-old archaeological site in Turkey depict a devastating swarm of comet impacts that triggered the Younger Dryas, a 1,200-year mini ice age.

https://phys.org/news/2017-04-ancient-stone-pillars-clues-comet.html

(Phys.org)—A team of researchers with the University of Edinburgh has found what they describe as evidence of a comet striking the Earth at approximately the same time as the onset of the Younger Dryas in carvings on an ancient stone pillar in southern Turkey. The group has published their findings in the journal Mediterranean Archaeology and Archaeometry.

Prior evidence based on ice cores taken from Greenland has suggested that a strike by a comet may have led to the onset of the Younger Dryas—a period of Earth cooling that lasted for approximately 1000 years. Other evidence also suggests that the cooling period caused groups of people to band together to cultivate crops, leading to the development of agriculture, which in turn led to huge leaps in technological innovations and societal developments, i.e. Neolithic civilization. In this new effort, the researchers describe evidence they found on a stone pillar at Gobekli Tepe (the oldest known temple site) that aligns with the ice core findings—that a comet struck the Earth in approximately 10,950BC.

The pillar was created by the people of Gobekli Tepe and now appears to have served as a means of commemorating a devastating event—perhaps a comet breaking up and its remnants crashing into the Earth, causing an immediate environmental impact around the globe and possible loss of life (one of the characters on the pillar was of a headless human.) The team fed likenesses of the images carved onto the pillar (known as the vulture stone) into a computer to determine if they might be linked with constellations.

Doing so revealed associations between characters on the pillar and astronomical symbols in the sky for the year 10,950 BC. The fact that the people took the time and considerable effort to create the characters on the pillar suggests something very important must have happened during the same time period that the Greenland ice core suggests a comet struck, approximately 10,890BC."

 

Within the New Testament Yeshua ("Jesus") gives the command TO WATCH. 

FOR WHAT?
WHAT ARE WE INSTRUCTED
TO WATCH FOR? 

“Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not WATCH, I will COME upon you AS A THIEF, and you will not know what hour I will COME upon you." Revelation 3:3

"For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a THIEF in the night." 1 Thessalonians 5:2

"But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that THIS DAY should overtake you as a THIEF." 1 Thessalonians 5:4 

 

FRIENDS. WHAT DOES A THIEF DO?

 ***  THE THIEF REMOVES WHAT DOES NOT BELONG TO HIM ***

FROM THE MASTER'S HOUSE.

CHEW ON THAT NEIGHBOR. CHEW ON THAT. ONE MORE TIME NOW.

*** THE THIEF REMOVES WHAT DOES NOT BELONG TO HIM ***
FROM THE MASTERS HOUSE.

WHEN MESSIAH COMES. HE REMOVES WHAT DOES NOT BELONG TO HIM,
FROM THE MASTER'S HOUSE - FROM HIS FATHER'S HOUSE

HOW DOES HE REMOVE THOSE WHO DON'T BELONG?
BY BURNING THEM UP WITH FIRE. WHY? BECAUSE THEY ARE TARES.

TARES ARE GATHERED INTO BUNDLES AND BURNED

I HAVE GREAT SUSPICION THAT THE DAY OF THE LORD
MAY IN FACT BE A SOLAR MASS EJECTION; OR,
A STRIKE FROM A COMET, METEOR, OR ASTEROID

MUCH LIKE IN "THE KNOWING"

"But the day of the Lord will come as a THIEF in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up."

"Behold, I am coming as a THIEF. Blessed [is] he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame."

Could the instruction to WATCH have something to do with The Day of the Lord/LORD?
Could it have something to do with Meteors? Comets? Asteroids? Aliens? A Solar Mass Ejection? Whatever it is we are TO WATCH FOR comes from the Heavens above us.

Friends. I have been studying this book (Revelation) since I was a 12 year old child. 
Here is what I can tell you. 

Revelation Warns us repeatedly of objects that will come from the heavens.

Wormwood: (Revelation 8:10–11): A great star, burning like a torch, that drops from the sky and poisons a third of the rivers and freshwater springs, making them bitter.

 

Burning Mountain: (Revelation 8:8): An object described as a great mountain burning with fire that is hurled into the sea, turning a third of the ocean into blood.

Falling Stars: (Revelation 6:13 & 8:10): Stars that fall to the earth from the sky, often interpreted by readers as literal meteors, asteroids, or symbolic spiritual entities.

 

Lunar Eclipses often follow Solar Eclipses by 14 days

 

Perhaps it has something to do with the Day of the LORD?

The Day of the Lord comes "as a thief in the night."

1 Thessalonians 5:2

The Day of the Lord will come "as a thief in the night" in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise; and, the elements shall melt with a fervent heat; the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Therefore since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct; and, godliness looking for and hastening the coming of the Day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire and the elements will melt with fervent heat." 

2 Peter 3:10

I ADJURE YOU TO STUDY OUT WHERE & HOW THE FOLLOWING TERMS                          APPEAR IN THE BIBLE'S TEXT:

• MELT
• MELTED
• MELTING
• DISSOLVE
• DISSOLVED 

The Day of the LORD "is a day of judgment" upon the earth.

Joel 1:15

The Day of the LORD shall come "as destruction from the Almighty."

This destruction is slated for Babylon. Isaiah 13:6; Joel 1:15

The Day of the LORD is "a day of vengeance."

Jeremiah 46:10

The Day of the LORD "comes with wrath and fierce anger..."

"...To lay the land desolate; and, to destroy the sinners out of it."

Isaiah 13:9

The Day of the LORD "...is a cloudy day; it shall be the day of the heathen..."

Ezekiel 30:3

The Day of the LORD   

"Therefore if you will not WATCH; I will come upon you as a THIEF; and, you will not know what hour I come upon you."

"The Sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood
before the great and terrible day of the LORD come."

Joel 2:31 

SOLAR ECLIPSE + LUNAR ECLIPSE

"If your outcasts are in the uttermost parts of heaven, from there the LORD your God will gather you, and from there he will fetch you" DEUT. 30:4 (RSV)

*** Compare to other translations ***

"When I shall receive (fetch) the congregation [THE RAPTURE] I will JUDGE uprightly.                             The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved." Psalm 75:2-3

"The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is oved exceedingly" Isaiah 24:19

"And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine and as a falling fig from the fig tree." Isaiah 34:4

In the Old Testament the Living GOD visits Abraham and asks him to count the stars. He encourages Abraham to become an observer of the heavens themselves (Genesis 15:5). 

I wonder WHY He did that?

Just imagine YHVH (יהוה) declaring to Abram. "I really want you to become intimately familiar with the Heavens above; and, the Stars within them." Everything YHVH (יהוה) did/does has a REASON. 

Including this statement to Abraham.

Since College I have had the opportunity to listen to many other men who are much wiser than I; talk about "Cycles of Catastrophe." They have changed my ideas about the WHY behind the almost obsessive observance of the stars by the ancients; and, WHY we should STILL be obsessive about them even today.

I have produced (Part 1) of a 3 Part Series I am currently working on regarding Revelation chapter 8; and the Incoming objects that will cause catastrophic loss of life; just as in the Days of Noah. You can find more about it at the following link:

What if the government of the United States of America already knows.
What if they already spent TRILLIONS to build a breakaway society.

A Society THEY intend to SURVIVE the APOPHIS Impact.

There is a man named Randall Carlson; and, another named Graham Hancock who both assert that the Earth has undergone repeated catastrophes roughy every 10,500-13,000 years. Essentially "cycles of destruction."  Below is a photograph created during one of their episodes together.

(Left to Right: Joe Rogan. Graham Hancock. Randall Carlson)

The discovery of Gobleki Tepe and the T Stones that seem to record a catastrophe; are of significant note due, to their geographic location proximate to the Mt. Ararat in Turkey where Noah's Ark allegedly rests. There are some speculating that these were built by Noah; or his children after the Great Flood to record the cataclysmic event literally in stone for all the world to see. 

GOBLEKI TEPE

The Great Flood (Noah's Flood) seems to be one of these great periods of cataclysmic upheaval.
