CHAPTER
SEVEN
THE DANISH CONNECTION
THE
concept of the return of Jesus and the City of Gold which is to
be in America wasn't first visualized by Joseph Smith, but goes
all the way back in history.
The Voyage
of St. Brendan
Brendan
and Monks
Voyage to America |
One
of the most popular books in Europe prior to and at the time
of Columbus was called The Voyage of St. Brendan.
In the book, Irish monks have a vision of a maiden who describes
the United States to them as a great land across the western
sea, divided in half by a mighty river (the Mississippi).
Then she gives the prophecy that the second coming of Jesus
is to be in the United States. [1]
This
book was very popular, and its graphic imagery and prophecy
prompted both Columbus and the Danish Vikings before him (who
were in search of Valhalla) to travel to America. The
Voyage of St. Brendan was written around 600 AD! In his
book he described his voyage, giving sea lanes and routes
that were very specific. By reading this book, Columbus had
all the necessary information on how to come to America. |
For instance, Christopher Columbus from information based
upon known and provable facts drew conclusions
which led him unerringly across the vast ocean to the unknown
continent of America. ('Abdu'l-Baha, Baha'i World Faith,
p. 260)
Columbus
and His Book of Prophecy
Columbus
came to America looking for the return of Jesus which he knew, according
to prophecy, had to be in America. Columbus was a very religious
man and he believed that he was fulfilling prophecy by coming to
America. Columbus wrote his Book of Prophecy which he gave
to the Queen and King of Spain in order to get money for his voyage.
Upon entering the Gulf of Pariah and seeing the fresh water there,
he proclaimed that he had discovered the Paradise of Adam and Eve
where he believed he would find Jesus and the Heavenly Temple and
the City of Gold (New Jerusalem), and usher in the 1000 years of
peace.
Columbus in Prison
Before
Columbus, the Vikings came to America looking for about the same
thing. Where did this information come from that St. Brendan, the
Vikings and Columbus used to come to America?
The Dans
The
name Dan in Hebrew means Judge. When Jacob blessed his sons he blessed
Dan to be the judge and to be the intellectual: "Dan shall
judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel. Dan shall be a
serpent by the way..." (Genesis 49:16, 17). The serpent is
the symbol of the intellect. As such, the Dans had a very important
role to play in the plan of God. In 721 BC, when Shalmaneser V,
"King of Assyria, [who conquered the ten tribes of Israel]
did carry away Israel into Assyria and put them in Halah and in
Habor and the cities of the Medes," [2]
which is today modern Iraq and Iran, the Dans, who were the intellectuals,
were too smart to remain in captivity and be absorbed into the culture
of their Pagan captors.
After
leaving Assyrian captivity, they inhabited for some time the land
just west of the Black Sea. Then we find the rivers "Dn iester,
and the Don." Then, in either ancient or later geography,
we find these way marks. Dn-aau, the Dann-inn, the Dan-aster,
the Dan-dari, the Dan-ez, and the Don, the Dan and the U-don;
the Eri-don, down to the Danes. "Danmark" means "Dan's
Mark."
In
Genesis 49:17 Jacob, foretelling what should befall each of the
tribes, says: "Dan shall be a serpent by the way." Another
translation of the original Hebrew is "Dan shall be a serpent's
trail." It is a significant fact that the tribe of Dan named
every place they went after their father, Dan. (The United
States and Britain in Prophecy by Herbert W. Armstrong, p.
96)
This
was like a serpent's trail. They left Assyria and went westward
and northward into Europe. On their way they left their name "Dan"
all the way along. That is, they migrated up the Dan-ube.
The
Dans Were Great Civilizers
When
the Dans arrived in that peninsula in the North Sea now called Denmark
(Dan's mark), they brought their civilization and religion with
them. They civilized the peoples around them and ruled over them
for a long time. All civilizations are the result of the Revelations
of God brought by the various Manifestations.
When
Shalmaneser V conquered the ten tribes of Israel in 721 BC and brought
the northern tribe of Dan to Assyria, the northern tribe of Dan
was in the most northern part of Israel bordering on Syria, whereas
the southern tribe of Dan was in the southern part of Israel bordering
on Judah. This tribe of Dan was living on the sea coast of the Mediterranean.
They took to their boats and sailed away, ending up in Ireland.
When
Assyria captured Israel, these Danites struck out in their ships
and sailed west through the Mediterranean and north to Ireland.
Just before his death, Moses prophesied of Dan: "Dan is a
lion's whelp: he shall leap from Bashan" (Deuteronomy 33:22).
Along the shores of the Mediterranean they left their trail in
"Den," "Don," and "Din."
Irish
annals and history show that the new settlers of Ireland, at just
this time, were the "Tuatha de Danaans," which means,
translated, "Tribe of Dan." Sometimes same appears simply
as "Tuathe de," meaning the "people of God."
And in Ireland we find they left these "way marks:"
Dans-Laugh, Dan-Sower, Dun-dal, Dun-drum, Don-egal Bay, Don-egal
City, Dungloe, Din-gle, Dunspmor (meaning "more Dans").
Moreover, the name Dunn in the Irish language means the same as
Dan in the Hebrew: judge. (The United States and Britain in
Prophecy by Herbert W. Armstrong, Worldwide Church of God,
U.S.A., copyright 1967, p. 97)
The
symbol for the tribe of Dan is the serpent and it represents the
intellect.
...the
crowned serpent, has been adopted as a magical symbol of wisdom,
for the true wisdom requires that man should have insight into
the spiritual world. (Magic Symbols by Fredrich Goodman,
Brian Trodd Publishing House Limited, London, Copyright 1987,
pp. 6,7)
They
brought their religion and civilization to the Irish. When the Dans
arrived they found a mixture of beliefs among them. They found that
the religion of primitive Ireland was nature worship and after a
time it included the religion of some of the Mediterranean civilizations.
For example, the Phoenicians, near Tyre and Sidon, brought the religion
of Enoch, or Adam, as Enoch was the establisher of Adam's religion.
Adam
was a Universal Manifestation of God (the other two were Jesus and
Baha'u'llah). [3] Enoch brought Adam's
teachings around the world. Enoch was the architect for the Great
Pyramid of Gizeh, and the ones in Central America. The Hopis are
waiting for return of Enoch having the cornerstone of the Fire Clan
Tablet. The main teaching of Adam was the One True Invisible God.
This was corrupted by Nimrod and Semiramis who corrupted Adam's
revelation with the trinity that crept into many of the world's
religions such as: Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Christianity.
It caused the ten tribes to separate from Judah with the corruption
of Solomon, who bowed down to Estoreth (Semiramis) and Milcom (Nimrod).
[4] This religion of Adam was not only
monotheistic, it contributed to the development of agriculture,
animal husbandry, language and astronomy. The Arthurian legends
and Stonehenge are rooted in Enoch's religion.
However,
not long after the corruption of Enoch's, or Adam's religion (corruption
which was spread by the Phoenicians who were Trinitarians), the
Irish became corrupted by the trinity. This corruption was not at
all like the monotheistic religion of Enoch. It was a religion with
a pantheon of gods rooted in a trinity with the head being Dagon,
the fish god. The attire Dagon wore is the same as the Pope wears
today. At the time the Dans arrived in Ireland, they fought and
taught against this crap of the trinity.
Later
when St.[5] Patrick, a Roman Catholic,
came to Ireland wearing the garb of Satan, or Dagon, he showed how
the three-leaf clover had three parts but was one leaf. Thus he
reintroduced the Pagan Trinitarian religion that had crept into
Christianity, and he drove the snakes out of Ireland when he drove
the Dans (who were given the intellect that was symbolized by the
snake) out of Ireland. They moved to Scotland and then finally to
England where they civilized the English. This left the Irish without
using their intellects, and they became Roman Catholic, except for
a few. Therefore, St. Brendan (Bran-Dan) an Irish monk, while studying
the history of Ireland and the Dans, came to the knowledge of the
City of Gold across the western sea, divided in half by a mighty
river (the Mississippi). He had a vision of a maiden who gave him
the prophecy of the second coming of Jesus in America. He then made
a voyage to America searching for the City of Gold, expecting to
find the return of Jesus there as Brendan had written in his book.
Columbus
and His Book of Prophecy
Columbus
read the book of St. Brendan, and it had maps, graphics and directions
to come to America, so when he sailed from Spain, he knew exactly
where he was going. Thus, Columbus came to America looking for the
return of Jesus and the City of Gold. He knew according to prophecy
it had to be in America. Columbus was a very religious man and he
believed he was fulfilling prophecy by coming to America. Columbus
wrote his Book of Prophecy which he gave to the Queen and
King of Spain in order to get money for his third voyage. The Queen
was very interested in the City of Gold and wanted Columbus to dig
up the streets of gold and bring the gold back to Spain. Spain at
that time was in dire straits for money. They needed the money to
build an armada to protect itself from the English who were becoming
the masters of the sea. Upon entering the Gulf of Pariah, when he
saw the fresh water there, he proclaimed that he had discovered
the Paradise of Adam and Eve where he believed he would find Jesus
and the heavenly Temple and the City of Gold, New Jerusalem, and
usher in 1000 years of Peace. But neither St. Brendan nor Columbus
were able to find the City of Gold or the return of Jesus due to
their pagan beliefs in the trinity with Jesus being God incarnate.
The
Vikings
The
Vikings, being of the Dans and the originators of the prophecies
of the New World across the Sea, were privy to this information,
as they were knowledgeable in the Revelation of Moses. The civilization
of Moses was a microcosm of the macrocosm. That is, Moses' microcosm
was for a specific people, the twelve tribes of Israel, whereas
Baha'u'llah's system is for the entire world. They, the Vikings,
rejected Christianity because of the trinity—God the Father,
God the Son and God the Holy Spirit—as they believed in the
One God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. When Solomon and the tribe
of Judah bowed down to idols (Ashtoreth and Milcom), the ten tribes
separated from Reaboem, Solomon's son and successor, because of
this Trinitarian Paganism that Solomon bowed down to. But their
(the tribe of Dan's) religion was full of all kinds of promises,
such as a new world coming. Therefore the Vikings made a number
of trips across the sea to find the fulfillment of their promise.
Most
of the images we have about the Vikings are misconceptions written
by pagan Christians, painting the Vikings as pagan, marauding, raiding
Norsemen worshipping many gods. Nothing could be further from the
truth, as the so-called gods were not gods at all, but the history
of their ancestors of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses,
Aaron, David, Solomon, Jeroboam, etc., such as Odin. Their great
god Odin was none other than Adam. The legends of the Scandinavians
were not myths but prophecies of what is now taking place in this
century, having their origin in pure Revelation from God. Also among
them were those who, like Daniel, Isaiah and other minor prophets,
were able to go behind the veil and perceive the plan of God, therefore
they were able to name the players in the scenario of the Baha'i
faith.
Valhalla
is Baha'u'llah. The 'V' and the 'B' are interchangeable. Therefore
Asgard is the New Jerusalem spoken of in the book of Revelation:
"...and
the name of the city of my God, the New Jerusalem which comes
down from my God out of heaven, and my own new name [Baha'u'llah]."
(Revelation 3:12 RSV)
Balder
is Shoghi Effendi. Thor, who is red-headed, has a red beard and
carries a hammer, is none other than King David whose lineage is
to exist forever. The two Christs, Jesus and Baha'u'llah, are descended
from King David. The lineage of the first Christ came to an end
with the passing of Jesus, as he didn't marry and have a son. However,
the lineage of David seated on the throne of David is the one that
is to last forever (Psalm 89). That is, all of Baha'u'llah's ancestors
all the way back to King David were seated on the throne
of David in exile, called exilarchs. This lineage is of this world.
Baha'u'llah continued this lineage in His Covenant, where he passed
it on to 'Abdu'l-Baha, who passed it on to his son, Mason Remey;
then he passed it on to his son, Joseph Pepe Remey, who passed it
on to his son, and then on and on for ever. Shoghi
Effendi placed 'Abdu'l-Baha's son at the head as president of the
first International Baha'i Council whose constitution would last
for half a million years with this genealogy of King David being
its presidents. This Council was to go through four stages and become
the Universal House of Justice at the end of this century. This
plan of God was derailed by the Covenant-breaking "Hands"
when they went against Shoghi Effendi and his plan; establishing
in its stead a bogus House of Justice, minus its head (a headless
monster), doing away with the Davidic lineage that is to last forever.
This Davidic lineage is the Executive Branch which is an integral
[6] part of the Universal House of Justice.
This Headless Monster of the "Hands" cannot live, any
more than you can live without your head.
Hammer, Belt and Gauntlets
Thor
|
Thor
with his hammer (gavel) sits at the head of the Universal House
of Justice. Thor, or Thouros, is another form of Zero which means
"the seed." When the term seed is used it is referring
to the seed of David as the executive, or head, of the Universal
House of Justice (a legislative body revealed in the Revelation
of Baha'u'llah), which will preside as a democratic monarchy over
the entire world when the Kingdom of God on earth is established.
Thor, just as Odin, does not represent any one individual in particular,
but rather a position a person holds.
In
addition to the hammer, or gavel, which he uses to keep the assembly
in order, he has a Belt. The Belt is a symbol of the complete body
of the Universal House of Justice. The succeeding executives after
Shoghi Effendi are not infallible in their decisions. Only when
the entire Universal House of Justice with the Davidic lineage as
its president makes a decision does it reflect the Will of God.
The entire assembly as stipulated in the provisions of the Will
and Testament of 'Abdu'l-Baha is what gives the president seated
on David's throne his strength, just as the belt of Thor gives him
the strength needed to wield his mighty hammer.
The
gauntlets Thor wears in order to throw and retrieve his hammer are
significant as well. This is a symbol of the Hands of the Cause
of God. The Davidic King can appoint "Hands" in order
to assist him in spreading the faith around the world. These Hands
are absolutely submissive to the Executive Branch, and the Executive
Branch needs the Hands to protect the faith and assist him. 'Abdu'l-Baha
outlines the duties of the Hands of the Cause of God in his Will
and Testament.
My
object is to show that the Hands of the Cause of God must be ever
watchful and so soon as they find anyone beginning to oppose
and protest the guardian of the Cause of God,
cast him out from the congregation of the people of Baha and in
no wise accept any excuse from him. (Will and Testament,
p. 12)
The
Hands of Shoghi Effendi, after his passing, were the greatest opponents
of Shoghi Effendi. They took over and prevented the Baha'is from
turning to Shoghi Effendi's successor, the first International Baha'i
Council, which was the Universal House of Justice in embryo to which
all must turn. They then dismantled it entirely and substituted
a freak in the place of Shoghi Effendi's successor which is to be
abhorred as it eliminated the executive branch of Baha'u'llah's
Universal House of Justice. In addition, it did away with the lineage
of David that was to last forever and was to succeed Baha'u'llah
and 'Abdu'l-Baha, which Shoghi Effendi had placed as the president,
which is a hereditary position. He was 'Abdu'l-Baha's son who was
to function at the head of the embryonic International Baha'i Council
that was to go through four stages and become the Universal House
of Justice with 'Abdu'l-Baha's son, or his son, as its president.
O
friends! The Hands of the Cause of God must be nominated and appointed
by the guardian of the Cause of God. All must be under
his shadow and obey his command. Should any, within or
without the company of the Hands of the Cause of God disobey
and seek division, the wrath of God and His vengeance will be
upon him, for he will have caused a breach in the true
Faith of God....
...This
body of the Hands of the Cause of God is under the direction of
the guardian of the Cause of God. (Will and Testament,
pp. 12, 13)
Loki
and His Children
LOKI
is the troublemaker. Historical Loki was Nimrod, who was the son
of Cush, who was the son of the cursed son of Noah, Ham. Noah had
three sons with him on the Ark: Shem, the beloved son, who was given
the robe of Adam (that is, he was to continue in authority the line
of Adam), Japeth, and Ham, the cursed son. Upon leaving the Ark,
Ham stole the robe and ran with it. This robe was given to his son,
Cush, who gave it to his son, Nimrod. Noah divided the Middle East
into three parts: The northern part was given to Japeth which was
Siberia, stretching west to Russia; the southern portion was given
to Ham which consisted of the land south of the Mediterranean; and
Shem had all the land in between, that is, the Middle East all the
way to the Straits of Gibraltar, including all of Europe but not
Russia.
After
the flood the animals were increasing faster than man. They had
sharp teeth and sharp claws and they could run faster than man.
They caught men and tore them apart and ate them until it looked
like man would cease to exist. Nimrod was a giant, maybe eight or
nine feet tall. In a cartouche he is pictured tearing the horns
off a bull and putting them on his own head. Then he is shown tearing
a lion apart with his bare hands. He is the centaur of mythology,
that is, he was the first man to ride the horse. He did two great
things: He started decimating the animals that were harmful, and
he gathered the people into cities. His wife, Semiramis, who was
of the family of masons, built walls around the cities and built
towers so they could look out over the walls to see if it was safe
to go out and forage for food. Nimrod tamed the leopard to accompany
him on his hunts for animals, just as people today use dogs for
this purpose. This is where Nimrod got his name: The Babylonian
name for "leopard" was "nimr" and "rod"
means "to subdue." Nimrod also trained other men into
hunting parties, and they built cities all over the Middle East,
all the way to the Straits of Gibraltar:
And
Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He
was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even
as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
And
the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad,
and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Out
of that land went forth Ashur, and builded Nineveh, and the city
Rehoboth, and Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great
city. (Genesis 10:8-12)
Thus
Nimrod was a great benefactor to the people. Also Nimrod was a very
great teacher of the religion of Adam, having the people obey the
laws of Adam. Thus a great new spiritual civilization was established
replacing the civilization of the Adamites who were drowned in the
flood for becoming corrupt. Nimrod had taken over the territories
of Japeth and Shem, bringing them all into his Empire.
The
people of his empire loved and eulogized Nimrod as the greatest
person ever, to the point of worship, but they had some problems.
They said, "Nimrod, we love you dearly but we have several
concerns,...." One being that the Laws of Adam were so strict
and they wanted more freedom; in addition it was very difficult
for them to worship an invisible God that they had never seen. So
Nimrod obliged them by doing away with the religion of Adam and
his Laws, returning them back to their paganism, worshipping the
Sun, Moon and Stars. Nimrod proclaimed that he was Saturn and his
father, Cush, was Jupiter. This is where we get the word Satan,
from "Saturn."
The
prophet Isaiah refers to him as Lucifer:
How
art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How
art thou cut to the ground, which did weaken the nations! For
thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will
exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the
mount of congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend
above the heights of the clouds: I will be like the most High.
(Isaiah 14:12-14)
Thus Loki was Nimrod of history, and the so-called legends of the
Vikings were not legends but prophecies that are now being fulfilled.
First, Rex King was declared to be Satan by 'Abdu'l-Baha's son for
going against him, thinking he could set himself up above Baha'u'llah
and make his throne in the hereafter above that of Baha'u'llah's.
Next was Balyuzi in conjunction with the female god, known in Norse
prophecies as Hel. She is the queen of the ninth religion, Baha'i.
"Loki
had three children from an ogress from Jotunheim called Angrbode
that were even more terrible than himself." The first monstrous
son was Baha'u'llah's brother Mirza Yahya who was an opponent
of Baha'u'llah. The second monstrous son was Muhammad Ali who
was the opponent of 'Abdu'l-Baha. "Yet a third time Angrbode
gave birth, on this occasion to a female child whom Odin cast
down into the Underworld to become queen of Hel. She was given
the name of Hel and made absolute ruler over any peoples of the
nine worlds [the Baha'i faith] who came into her power."
(Brian Branston, Gods and Heroes from Viking Mythology,
pp. 48, 49)
The
Third Child of Loki: "Hel"
Just
how did the "Hands" get control of the Baha'i faith? You
know it just didn't happen by itself! No how! According to reason,
and the Holy writings, the "Hands" were not to become
reactivated and take control after they had ceased to be "Hands"
after the passing of Shoghi Effendi! When your spirit leaves your
body your physical hands cease to be active—they don't become
reactivated. They die along with the rest of the body. The same
was true for the "Hands" of Shoghi Effendi. So then, just
how did they come to life and take control? While the Baha'i world
was asleep (for they should have been cognizant of what was going
on) an evil force came and did all of this. This force didn't come
to save the faith as they put forth, but to continue their positions
as Hands in the faith.
This
evil force had to be very astute and subtle and also be in a position
to orchestrate with cunning a scheme using deceit, artifice and
stratagem. Nefarious violations as the one stated above have always
occurred at the very top. With Jesus it was Judas, the most zealous
apostle. With Baha'u'llah it was his own brother Mirza Yahya. With
'Abdu'l-Baha it was also his brother, Muhammad Ali. Just who could
this person be that put the "Hands" in authority? Certainly
it couldn't be Ruhiyyih Khanum! Wasn't she the wife of the Beloved
Guardian, Shoghi Effendi?
How
did the "Hands," after the passing of Shoghi Effendi,
become involved in the decision-making and in determining a course
of action in place of the IBC with an Aghsan guardian as its president,
which Shoghi Effendi set up to succeed him? When you die your hands
also cease to be active. They no longer do things for you after
you're dead. The very same thing is true in the Baha'i faith. The
"Hands" are appointed by, and under the direction of,
a living guardian only:
O
friends! The Hands of the Cause of God must be nominated and appointed
by the guardian of the Cause of God. All must be under his shadow
and obey his command.... This body of the Hands is under the direction
of the [living] guardian of Cause of God....
(Will and Testament, pp. 12, 13)
When
the guardian dies and is no longer the living guardian, he can no
longer continually activate and control his "Hands." Just
like when you die you will not be able to activate and control your
hands. Just like your hands, on your death, cease to function, so
do the "Hands" of the guardian cease to function as "Hands."
[7]
Shoghi
Effendi appointed the "Hands" and in his last letter he
called the "Hands" the chief stewards, and indeed they
were the chief stewards during his lifetime, but when he died those
that were Shoghi's "Hands" ceased to be "Hands,"
and thus ceased to be chief stewards. That is, the "Hands"
were only "chief stewards" during the lifetime of Shoghi
Effendi. Nothing that Shoghi Effendi wrote or instituted could in
any way be construed to mean that the chief stewards were to succeed
Shoghi Effendi, for that would be in violation of the Will and
Testament, and certainly Shoghi in no way could be in violation
of the Will.
This
being the case, just how did the "Hands" get control of
the Baha'i faith? You know it just didn't happen by itself! No how!
According to reason, and the Holy writings, the "Hands"
were not to become reactivated and take control after they had ceased
to be "Hands." The Baha'i world was asleep, for they all
should have known these truths that I have just put forth. An evil
force came and did all this. This force didn't do this to save the
faith, as they put forth, but to continue their positions as Hands
in the faith.
This
evil force had to be very sagacious and shrewd and also be in a
position to arrange with cunning a scheme using deceit and intrigue
and have experience in sort of running the show in order to cause
such a nefarious violation as the one stated above. You think the
Baha'is would have been awake to this type of violation as it has
always occurred at the very top. With Jesus it was Judas, the most
zealous apostle. With Baha'u'llah it was his own brother Mirza Yahya.
With 'Abdu'l-Baha it was also his brother, Muhammad Ali. Just who
could this person be that put the "Hands" in authority?
Certainly it couldn't be Ruhiyyih Khanum! Wasn't she the wife of
the Beloved Guardian, Shoghi Effendi, and didn't he give her the
spiritual name "Ruhiyyih Khanum," which means "spirit-like
lady?" She was so highly revered and eulogized that to even
suggest she could be that evil force would be sacrilegious. If you
thought for even a minute that I was in the least way inferring
that she would do such a thing you would immediately tear up this
book and refuse to hear anything more that I have to say. Therefore,
it is out of the question to even consider her, but, since she was
in a very strategic position, we must peruse this if we are to identify
the real culprit. She was the only one present at the passing of
Shoghi Effendi. She was a "Hand" and Shoghi Effendi's
liaison officer to the first International Baha'i Council (IBC),
which was both the Universal House of Justice (UHJ) in its first
stage and the successor to Shoghi Effendi. Ruhiyyih was very well
aware of this.
After
she found Shoghi Effendi dead in his room, she, as his liaison officer,
sent a cable from London to Leroy Ioas, the secretary of the IBC
in Haifa, stating that Shoghi Effendi was sick with the Asiatic
flu and she requested that he send cablegrams to all National Spiritual
Assemblies asking for prayers from the believers for his recovery.
As his liaison officer it was meant that Shoghi was having her request
this for him. That is why she said he was only sick, because she
was no longer Shoghi's liaison officer, as he was dead. She was
also no longer a "Hand," as Shoghi was already dead. She
then had a rendezvous with the Persian "Hand" Balyuzi
living in London. It was he who had
all the other Persian "Hands" declare "Bada"
in a secret conclave. After talking with him she sent another message
to the secretary of the IBC/UHJ stating that Shoghi was dead, and
requesting that the IBC (the authoritative successor to Shoghi Effendi)
send cablegrams to all National Spiritual Assemblies requesting
them to inform all Local Spiritual Assemblies of his death and to
direct the believers to turn to the "Hands" ("cling
institution Hands"). [8]
She did this as the liaison officer, continuing her status in that
position although it was now known that Shoghi was dead. The reason
she sent this message to the secretary of the IBC/UHJ is that she
knew that the IBC, being the embryonic UHJ, was the authoritative
body which was to succeed Shoghi Effendi to which all the Baha'is
should turn after his passing. As the IBC was the authoritative
body, by having the cablegram state that the Baha'i World should
turn to the "Hands" (a non-authoritative body) instead
of the IBC (the authoritative body), by this artifice and stratagem,
she was having the IBC relinquish its authority and give it to the
"Hands", which is in violation of the Covenant and the
Will and Testament. The IBC is the infallible Universal
House of Justice in its first stage. The Hands are only servants
of the guardian and have no authority of their own. Without a guardian
they don't even exist, much less act as an authoritative figure.
The
next day Ruhiyyih Khanum sent another cablegram from London, but
this time not to the secretary of the IBC. By-passing the
IBC, she sent it directly from herself to all the National
Spiritual Assemblies to inform the mass of the Baha'is that the
"Hands" would assemble and decide what to do next
("meeting Hands shortly Haifa will make announcement to Baha'i
world regarding future plans"). Here she was setting
up the "Hands"—a non-authoritative body
that ceased to exist and function as "Hands" after the
passing of Shoghi Effendi—to become an authoritative body
in place of the genuine authoritative body—the IBC/UHJ.
This
brought 18 of the 27 "Hands" to London. Mason, coming
from America, arrived last. After burying Shoghi in London they
went to Haifa. There she had the "Hands" make a thorough
search of Shoghi's things to see if he had left a will. This was
in order to have the "Hands" and all the Baha'is believe
that this was the method in which a guardian was supposed to appoint
his successor, although the Will and Testament states that the guardian
must appoint his successor during his lifetime—not in a will,
as this is only read after his passing. This was to derail them
from looking for someone that Shoghi had already appointed and published,
which he did in 1951 when he set up the first International Baha'i
Council to be his successor. He appointed 'Abdu'l-Baha's adopted
son to be the president, putting the Davidic lineage, seated on
the throne of David that is to last forever, as the Executive Branch
of the IBC/UHJ. Because the executive branch (guardianship) is an
hereditary, not an elected, position, the president/guardian of
the IBC remains the president/guardian when it becomes the UHJ,
as the guardian is the head, or president, of the UHJ for life and
then is succeeded by his son.
Shoghi
Effendi was to be succeeded by his son that was not a biological
son, which was the IBC/UHJ. Shoghi Effendi was appointed guardian
of the Cause of God by 'Abdu'l-Baha to replace the Covenant-breaker
Muhammad Ali, who was a male descendant of King David who was supposed
to sit upon the throne of King David, succeeding 'Abdu'l-Baha who
was seated on the throne of David. But Shoghi Effendi was not a
male descendant of King David. He descended from David through his
mother who was 'Abdu'l-Baha's daughter, therefore he could not,
neither could his son if he had one, sit as the president of the
Universal House of Justice. Therefore when he set up his successor
the IBC/UHJ, he appointed 'Abdu'l-Baha's son, Mason Remey, to be
the head of that body, and as the guardian is the head of the Universal
House of Justice, therefore the head of the House of Justice is
the guardian.
And now, concerning the House of Justice which God hath ordained
as the source of all good and freed from all error,... By this
body all the difficult problems are to be resolved and the
guardian of the Cause of God is its sacred head
and the distinguished member for life of that body.
(Will and Testament, p. 14)
When
they finished their search and found no will, she informed them
that he had no son also. The idea was to convince them that the
guardianship was ended. In order for her scheme to work it was imperative
for her to get rid of the guardianship. Had she brought her plan
to the authoritative body, the IBC that was set
up by Shoghi to succeed him, no how would they do this, mainly because
the president of that body was 'Abdu'l-Baha's son, the guardian
of the Cause of God, and he certainly would not allow someone to
do away with the guardianship. Therefore she
bypassed what was the authoritative body and Shoghi's successor,
and went to the "Hands"—a non-authoritative group
that ceased to exist as "Hands" with the passing of Shoghi—having
them become the decisive authority in the Baha'i faith in place
of the God-given IBC/UHJ. Their first decision was to get rid of
the hereditary guardianship which was the executive branch. The
executive branch is an integral part of the IBC/UHJ. Without the
integral part [9] of the executive branch
there is no Universal House of Justice. What the Covenant-breaking
"Hands" established on Mt. Carmel is a headless monster.
Ruhiyyih
Khanum was the arch Covenant-breaker in this scenario but she would
not have been able to accomplish this by herself. She had a partner
in this crime. Right after she discovered that Shoghi Effendi was
dead she had a rendezvous with the Persian "Hand" Balyuzi
living in London. It was he who had all the other Persian "Hands"
go along with her scheme to take over the control of the faith,
as she did not speak Persian or Arabic, the languages of nearly
half the other "Hands" who did not speak English. The
two of them were instrumental in getting the "Hands" to
meet in a secret conclave to take up the matter of the guardianship.
After the first meeting the other "Hands" were concerned
about the guardianship and dispersed to pray and meditate. That
night the Persian "Hands" and the western "Hands"
were separated, with the Persian "Hands" staying the night
at Bahji and the western "Hands" leaving for the western
pilgrim house in Haifa. The next day when the "Hands"
met again in secret conclave, Hasan Balyuzi, native to Persia, had
it all set up for the Persian "Hands" to declare the guardianship
ended. Right after the prayers were said Balyuzi arose and said.
"Bada," meaning, "God has broken His Covenant"
(making God a Covenant-breaker): "Since God didn't give Shoghi
Effendi a son, the guardianship had come to an end." He no
more than sat down when the next Persian "Hand" sitting
alongside him arose and recited the same formula. This followed
with each of the Persian "Hands" reciting "Bada."
After they had finished Ruhiyyih Khanum was the next in line and
she said she was certain Shoghi Effendi did not have a son, so Bada,
the guardianship had come to an end. This was followed by the Western
"Hands" all reciting the same formula.
The
Third Child of Loki: Hel
Thus
Ruhiyyih Khanum perfectly fulfilled the role of the third child
of Loki—a female who was named Hel—with Balyuzi fulfilling
the role of Loki. Ruhiyyih Khanum, also known as Ruhiyyih Rabani,
didn't just take advantage of a situation of her husband's death,
she created it. That is she didn't make up a plan as she went along;
it was very well worked out before Shoghi Effendi died. According
to prophecy he just didn't die, but was killed:
Odin's
and Frigg's second son was Balder, a person of very good report
indeed. He stood out even among the AEsir. He was the fairest
of the Gods [unique], [10] so fair-haired
and pale-skinned that a power of light beamed from him. Everyone
loved Balder and he himself loved all things, small and large,
beautiful and ugly. He lived in Breidablik, the broad gleaming
Palace with his wife Nanna. (Gods and Heroes from Viking Mythology
by Brian Branston, pp. 41-42)
Balder
represents Shoghi Effendi, the unique first Guardian of the Baha'i
faith. The light beaming from him is his spirituality and infallibility
in setting up his administration and carrying out 'Abdu'l-Baha's
Divine Plan. He was called "The Beloved Guardian."
Even
though Balder (Shoghi Effendi) was so loving and full of light,
Odin knew he would be killed. Odin also knew this
was to be the first in a series of events that would lead to Ragnarok,
or the doom of the gods, which is the great global catastrophe spoken
of in all world religions.
There
are a lot of mysteries surrounding the death of Shoghi Effendi that
have never been brought to light. First of all, Ruhiyyih Khanum
lied when she sent out a message that Shoghi Effendi was sick with
the Asiatic flu when he was already dead. She lied when she said
she found him dead when she had already killed him. She didn't call
in his doctor to sign the death certificate because he would have
had a coroner's inquest to determine the cause of death because
Shoghi Effendi was not that sick. She had Dr. Adelbert Muhlschlegel
to sign the death certificate, because he didn't know the condition
of Shoghi Effendi as he was not the attending physician. Besides
he was a Baha'i and he accepted Ruhiyyih Khanum's story without
checking it out, which is extremely bad practice. As a result we
don't know how she killed him, whether she poisoned his medicine
or food, or she suffocated him with a pillow, etc. All we know is
he was killed; and she was the one around and she was the only one
who had a motive. She was like Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, who
led the ten tribes of Israel astray. They went and served Baal and
worshipped him, [11] whereas Ruhiyyih
has the Covenant-breaking Baha'is worship a Headless Monster. Also,
Jezebel killed the prophets of the Lord. [12]
After
she killed Shoghi Effendi she went on a killing spree. She hated
Shoghi Effendi because he was the Guardian. Ruhiyyih was a spoiled
brat, being the only child with well-to-do parents. She lived in
luxury, but when she married Shoghi Effendi everything changed.
Shoghi was very frugal. Being the administrator of the guardian's
fund that came from donations that he knew came from people, some
of whom were poor, he was very careful not to spend money carelessly
or wrongly. As a result Ruhiyyih found herself in a lifestyle not
to her liking. She saw Shoghi as a tightwad, or miser. She hated
being deprived of the lifestyle she was bought up in. She knew Shoghi
was not really like that, but he was like that because he was the
guardian, and he was a responsible person. So it wasn't really Shoghi
Effendi that she killed but the guardian. Therefore she went on
a killing spree to wipe out the guardianship. The first thing she
did was she had the "Hands" set up a conclave of "Hands"
to have the guardianship ended. In the conclave the harebrained
excuse they used to do away with the guardianship was "Bada,"
that God had changed His mind—He didn't give Shoghi a son,
so the guardianship had come to an end. Ruhiyyih knew that the first
International Baha'i Council was the successor to Shoghi Effendi,
as she sent out her first announcements that Shoghi was sick and
that he was dead through the council by asking the secretary, Leroy
Ioas, to inform the National Spiritual Assemblies to tell the Baha'i
world that Shoghi was sick and that he died. After that she bypassed
Shoghi's son (the first International Baha'i Council), and went
to a non-authoritative and unauthorized body of "Hands"
(not found anywhere in the Baha'i Writings) to make a decision to
have the guardianship ended. Therefore, because they were an unauthentic
body of "Hands", their decision must be ignored and, by
all means, must not to be followed. But it was followed. Therefore
she murdered thousands of succeeding guardians for the next half
a million years.
She
had another problem. There was a guardian as the president of the
first International Baha'i Council that was to become a World Court
in 1963 and later would become a Universal House of Justice with
the guardian at its head. She couldn't let this happen, so she had
the "Hands" dismantle the first International Baha'i Council
that Shoghi Effendi had set up, and had appointed the members including
the head, that was to become a World Court in 1963. In place of
the true one she had them set up a bogus Universal House of Justice
without its head that Shoghi Effendi had appointed. Thus going against
Shoghi Effendi, she chopped off the head, as if she had a chopping
block or guillotine. Now she is happy as she lives in a lifestyle
of affluence like she had before she married Shoghi Effendi. (When
I was a boy I saved my pennies so that when we visited the Temple
in Wilmette I could donate money to the Baha'i fund. I went without
in order to do this.)
Death
of Balyuzi
All
those who break the Covenant suffer terrible deaths. 'Abdu'l-Baha
writes in the Will and Testament:
Were
he to incline a hair's breadth to the right or to the left, his
deviation would be established and his utter nothingness made
manifest. And now ye are witnessing how the wrath of God hath
from all sides afflicted him and how day by day he is speeding
towards destruction. Ere long will ye behold him and his associates,
outwardly and inwardly, condemned to utter ruin.
(Will and Testament, p. 6)
Hasan
Balyuzi suffered terrible guilt and remorse for his violation and
his part in instigating the Persian "Hands" to say Bada.
Here seen in the eyes of his son is the terrible demise that he
sank into until his death in 1980. Tormented by guilt and self-incrimination,
he was "punished" (as his son put it) "by illness
of the body and near mental breakdown" until his gruesome end:
I
can still recall vividly that day of November 1957 when, as a
child of thirteen, I stood on the graveside as Shoghi Effendi's
coffin was lowered into the ground. In that charged moment I can
remember looking up at my father [Hasan Balyuzi] and marking how
rigid and motionless he stood, his face almost devoid of expression.
When he came to speak the final prayer, the one of Baha'u'llah's
which begins "Glory be to Thee, O God, for Thy manifestation
of love to Mankind!" he did so almost in monotone, his voice
sounding to me drained of emotion. I could not properly understand
then, but believe now, in the knowledge of all that happened after,
that at that moment his heart was broken. The depth of his grieving
was such that he was in a state of profound shock in which his
feelings were numbed so that emotion could find little outlet.
For
six years after that he kept going, borne along by the force of
events during a time of great crisis and momentous decisions,
when the duties imposed upon him by his station as a Hand of the
Cause had to be met. But after the culminating events of this
period, the election of the first Universal House of Justice and
the Baha'i World Congress in London in 1963, the increasingly
fragile prop of physical health finally collapsed and he [Balyuzi]
plunged into a dark and despairing retreat punished by illness
of the body and near mental breakdown.
In
her memorial article Mrs. Hoffman has written of how his mind
was filled with the "foreboding of guilt for his wasted days
and abdication of his responsibilities as a Hand." (Eminent
Baha'is in the Time of Baha'u'llah by H.M. Balyuzi, pp. xii,
xiii)
Balyuzi
must have felt like Judas after he betrayed Christ for thirty pieces
of silver, but unlike Judas, who hung himself in despair, Balyuzi
feared death. He was afraid that when he closed his eyes for the
last time to this world, and opened them to the next world, he would
realize the great punishment that awaited him, for he had committed
the most great sin which is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit—he
knew the truth and went against it—which is not forgiven in
this world or the next. Christ on the cross said, "Father,
please forgive them for they know not what they do." He didn't
include Judas in this, for Judas knew what he did.
Note
from what Balyuzi's son said above, after "the election of
the first Universal House of Justice... the increasingly fragile
prop of physical health finally collapsed and he [Balyuzi] plunged
into a dark and despairing retreat punished by illness of the body
and near mental breakdown." Balyuzi knew that House of Justice
was not the Baha'i House of Justice, but a headless monster that
he and Ruhiyyih had created.
This
conspiracy of Ruhiyyih and Hasan M. Balyuzi resulted in the "Hands"
becoming the deciding body of the faith in place of the IBC/UHJ
after the passing of Shoghi Effendi. This resulted in the guardianship
being declared ended and the Baha'is becoming oppressed, with the
threat of expulsion for even discussing the matter among themselves,
much less for searching independently for the truth themselves.
What is wrong with all of this? On the very last page of the Will
and Testament, 'Abdu'l-Baha states:
To
none is given the right to put forth his own opinion or express
his particular convictions. All must seek guidance and turn unto
the Center of the Cause [Shoghi Effendi] and the House of Justice
[IBC/UHJ]. And he that turneth unto whatsoever else is indeed
in grievous error.
What
Ruhiyyih did was to have the whole Baha'i world turn to "something
else" other than the IBC/UHJ that Shoghi Effendi had set up
to be his successor, thus she was in "grievous error."
She is the only one who could possibly do this because during Shoghi
Effendi's lifetime she was, after him, the highest one on the totem
pole, so-to-speak, and she was eulogized to such a degree as to
make her free from suspicion. No one else could do this and get
away with it. Ruhiyyih was not a simple person, nor was she an ignoramus.
She was not to be suspect. She was the only one in such a position
and so respected, and she was knowledgeable and very precise. She
knew exactly what she was doing. She knew that the IBC/UHJ was the
successor to her husband, and she knew why Mason was part of the
Holy Family. She sat on one side of Shoghi at the dinner table and
Mason sat in the seat of honor on his other side. She knew that
Mason was the president (head) of the IBC/UHJ and the succeeding
guardian. She knew she had the skill to pull off the coup of the
century, and she knew she could get away with it, for she knew she
was beyond suspicion, and thus the only one that could pull this
off. Therefore she, being HEL of the Scandinavian
prophecies, became the arch Covenant-breaker, leading the entire
Baha'i community into HELL.

'Abdu'l-Baha reiterated that the Hands cease to function as Hands
at the death of the Guardian when he explained that the Hands are
"heirs" to nothing: meaning (as an heir inherits only
after the death), those who were "Hands" are not heirs
to the title "Hands" or to anything else at the passing
of the Guardian, and therefore cease to be Hands altogether when
the Guardian dies. 'Abdu'l-Baha said, "...The Hands
of the Cause in this dispensation are NOT heirs of any name
or title [i.e., they cease to be Hands at the passing of
the Guardian]" ('Abdu'l-Baha, Lights of Guidance,
