What are the laws of nature? Did they pop out of nothing and then evolve? If a miracle is defined as a violation of the laws of nature then how do we refer to events that happened prior to the existence of the laws of nature? They can't violate these laws since the laws don't exist. However, nor are these events rational or lawful, which renders them magical and miraculous.

A miracle ought to be defined as anything irrational, inconsistent, and inherently incompatible with laws of nature. In which case, anyone who denies that the laws of nature are eternal is claiming a miraculous origin of the laws of nature.

Well, here's the thing ... if the laws of nature as regards spacetime and matter did not exist prior to the Big Bang (since there was no spacetime or matter), as science claims, then these laws were generated miraculously! That is, science is formally predicated on the miraculous appearance of laws of nature out of nothing at all, yet science claims to be a rational undertaking (!).

If you do not accept the existence of miracles then you are committed to agreeing that the laws of nature are ETERNAL, and that means that the laws of spacetime and matter ALREADY EXISTED prior to the Big Bang, because otherwise they would have miraculously appeared from nowhere.

Mathematically, there's an extremely easy way to make sense of this situation. Prior to the Big Bang, what existed was a pure frequency domain - an immaterial Singularity outside space and time. Thanks to well-known Fourier mathematics, frequency functions can be translated into spacetime functions. In other words, the laws of spacetime and matter did not magic themselves into existence out of nothing, but are eternally implicit in the eternal mathematical laws of nature regarding immaterial frequencies outside space and time. And what are such frequencies? What are immaterial entities outside space and time? They are none other than immortal, indestructible mathematical SOULS. They are eternal, autonomous Fourier frequency domains. They are SINGULARITIES. Singularities = minds!

The Green Man...the Knights Templar...and Rosslyn Chapel...a Decidedly MEROVINGIAN Narrative:

(Pictured: One of over a hundred Green Man carvings from Rosslyn Chapel, Scotland)
[http://www.rosslynchapel.com/]

{History of Rosslyn

What most visitors do not appreciate is that there are three Rosslyn Chapels. The first chapel nestled inside Rosslyn Castle within a curious curved stone wall known as the 'rounds', resembling a honeycomb. Two ruined stone buttresses in Roslin's graveyard are all that is left of the second chapel. Construction of the third chapel began in the 1440s on a hill overlooking both its predecessors and lasted forty years.

Sir William founded the Chapel to offer prayers for his ancestors and his descendants and for all mankind. He had had an active life, lived in obedience to his God and to his King, and wanted to ensure that he would reap an eternal reward after death. He established a financial trust that would pay for priests and singing boys to praise the Lord in perpetuity.

Building a collegiate church beside Rosslyn Castle was a way of getting some of the spiritual benefits of a large monastery without the enormous construction this required and the expensive manpower that a big community of monks needed.

The Collegiate Church of St Matthew was intended to be a much larger, cross-shaped building. By the time its founder Sir William Sinclair died, and was buried in the unfinished choir section, his son Sir Oliver Sinclair appears to have either lost interest or run out of money - perhaps the fashion for collegiate churches had simply ended.

For whatever reason, the larger building was never finished: Sir Oliver did no more than add a roof to the choir, which became the entire building. 19th-century excavation work reportedly showed that the foundations laid according to the original plans extend some 91 feet (around 28m) beyond the existing west wall.

At the Reformation (1560) the Chapel was closed for public worship and the Sinclair family forced to break down the altars and discard the carved saints of the old Catholic faith. It was not until 1861 that Rosslyn Chapel opened again for public worship, this time in the Scottish Episcopal tradition. It continues today as an Episcopal church....}

{The Intriguing Carvings of Rosslyn Chapel

Rosslyn Chapel (officially known as the Collegiate Chapel of St. Matthew) was a Roman Catholic chapel (it now belongs to the Scottish Episcopal Church) in Roslin, Midlothian, Scotland. Founded in the 15th century by William Sinclair, 1st Earl of the Caithness of the Scoto-Norman Sinclair family, the chapel took about 40 years to complete, perhaps due to the plethora of ornate stone carvings that can be seen adorning the walls throughout the chapel. The exquisite carvings are among the best in the whole of Europe, and portray scenes not found in any other 15th century chapel.

It is perhaps the symbolism of these intricate carvings that has contributed to some of the mystery surrounding Rosslyn Chapel. For instance, some carvings in the chapel are thought to represent the American Cactus and Indian Sweetcorn, which are plants found in the New World. Knowledge of these plants would have been impossible, since America was only ‘discovered’ by Christopher Columbus about 50 years after Rosslyn Chapel was built. To explain this anomaly, it has been suggested that these plants signified a connection with the Knights Templar, and that they ‘secretly’ discovered America before Columbus. This fanciful claim, however, has been countered by the argument that these ‘American plants’ were actually common motifs in medieval art, and that they are not as unique as commonly made out to be

Continuing with the subject of the Templars, William Sinclair is believed by some to have been involved with this Order or that he was a Freemason. However, Rosslyn Chapel was built about a century and a half after the dissolution of the Templar order, and that Freemasonry had not yet exist during the time of William Sinclair. Nevertheless, William Sinclair’s supposed association with the Knights Templar has allowed various stories to be produced about Rosslyn Chapel. The most famous story, perhaps, is that of the Holy Grail being hidden in this chapel after the Templars fled from France to Scotland. This claim is supported by the so-called Freemason symbols in the stone carvings, and is popularised by Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code. Yet, the idea that Rosslyn Chapel was intended to be the repository of the Holy Grail is highly unlikely, as it was actually built so that Mass could be said for the souls of the Sinclair family. Yet, for many, I suspect, the Holy Grail story seems much more appealing.

Perhaps this story is so appealing due to its engagement with the distrust that some (or many) of us have for the ‘establishment’. In this case, it is the Roman Catholic Church, and so Rosslyn Chapel has been transformed into a bastion for the ‘anti-establishment movement’. One wonders though, whether such things are being over-interpreted, and that monsters and phantoms are being conjured up by our minds where they do not exist. Poor William Sinclair would be turning in his grave if he knew that the story of Rosslyn Chapel has been distorted beyond recognition by today’s conspiracy theorists.

Nevertheless, the carvings of Rosslyn Chapel are intriguing as they do not display typical Christian symbology. Rather, many of the ornate designs appear to have their origins in quite different ideologies, some of them quite obviously Pagan. For instance, there are more than 110 carvings of ‘Green Men’ in and around the chapel. Green Men, an example of which is depicted in the featured image, are carvings of human faces with greenery all around them, often with branches or vines that sprout from the nose, mouth, or other parts of the face....}
[http://www.ancient-origins.net/ancient-places-europe/intriguing-carvings-rosslyn-chapel-001675]

{There are many places where undisputed Green Men appear, and many people find him an intriguing figure. So why does he often appear in religious, and specifically Christian, settings all over Europe and even extending into parts of the Middle East and India?

The name ‘Green Man’ has been given to several different characters. Some link him with the woodwose, a wild man with a Club, possibly intended to be John the Baptist or Hercules. This figure appears on some Church fonts, e.g. at Stradbroks in Suffolk, and as a supporter (a figure at the side of the shield) in heraldry. In this form perhaps he symbolised the taming of strength. But the woodwose often appears shaggy and stupid, very different from the true Green Man.

On signs outside inns called ‘The Green Man’ he is often pictured as a kind of Robin Hood figure, sometimes alternatively named Jack-in-the-green or Jack-in-the-Tree.

Was he a Celtic fertility god, the beneficent spirit of vegetation, the tree spirit, still being built into churches after 1000 years of Christianity, and currently revived by people who love such places as Stonehenge, Tintagel, and Glastonbury with their associated legends?

On May Day, a day associated with the return of life, a Chimney Sweep sometimes became a living Green Man, being decked in a wicker frame decorated with leaves and flowers, and paraded around. Or a man was led through the fields as a token of aiding their fertility, and then symbolically drowned. By his death he was thought to make life-giving forces available to the village.

The annual Burry Man festival (see: http://rbg-web2.rbge.org.uk/celtica/Burry.htm) in the village of South Queensferry, Scotland, appears to be a living equivalent of the Green Man in much the same way as the Jack-in-the-Tree or Chimney Sweep mentioned above.

Such rites persisted well after the time many Christian churches were being built (and Green Men were being incorporated within them) for in 1540 Bishop Latimer was told in another town it was no good opening a church for a service because everybody was attending such ceremonies. Other accounts speak of the revellers entering Church to dance their rituals there, even when a service was already in progress. Priests disapproved, but people’s customs were strong and were often backed by the squire, so the parson had to keep quiet. Rogation Day Ceremonies, with their blessing of the fields, is probably a Christianisation of such activities.

However, the name ‘Green Man’ is best reserved for the figure who appears in one of three forms. He may be a human face peering through vegetation. He may be a face eating or disgorging vegetation. Or he may be e strange mixture of human form and vegetation merging into each other – a man whose limbs taper away to become vegetation.

His face often looks like those in some Roman sculptures, and even dates back centuries before that period. Were the craftsmen who decorated our churches merely amusing themselves by incorporating such faces? When one recalls that many churches, such Rosslyn Collegiate Church, were in rural settings it is hardly surprising that such manifestations of rural folklore were reflected in such buildings.

But such an explanation hardly accounts for the deliberate use of the Green Man in more important and widespread Christian centres. He appears in Southwell Minster, in the cathedrals at Norwich and Ely and Exeter, in the screens of St Paul’s Cathedral London and King’s College Chapel Cambridge – to name but a few. Michaelangelo put one on a pope’s tomb. Martin Luther’s books, printed in his own lifetime, include the Green Man on the title page. In one church a Virgin and Child stand on a Green Man’s head. In another he watches over the body of Christ in an Easter Sepulchre. He often appears near scenes of the Creation, Incarnation, Passion and Resurrection. The famous cathedral at Chartres has more than forty in its magnificent west front (the royal portal) alone and many more in a large number of other places. This great cathedral has literally thousands of sculptured pictures, all wry carefully co-ordinated into a well-structured programme unfolding Biblical and other Christian events. It is inconceivable that the Green Man crept in as a pagan figure or merely a mason’s whim and seems that he had become a perfectly acceptable Christian symbol. Indeed, his facial expression often chimes in with the scene portrayed, e.g. a same of expectation at the coming or Jesus, or of delight at his victory. What is his significance?

Many suggestions have been made, and this brief article cannot do more than mention a few. In classical thought the Green Man has been the symbol of inspiration or of the fruits of learning, and could have a place in Christian iconography for such a reason.

His presentation as one who devours and disgorges vegetation suggests the mystery of creation – death and rebirth in the world of nature, a theme which illustrates Christian teaching on the death and resurrection of Christ.

He may represent the bringing of the tree spirit or spirit of nature under the guidance of Christ, in the way that many pagan ideas and rituals have been baptised into Christianity – a common practice in the attempt to lead people from other beliefs into the Christian Faith.

This last thought might go even further, possibly linking with the other figure in the church porch vaulting. That figure is presumably Jesus, the wreath on his brow perhaps representing the crown of thorns. But has he, too, vegetation around his head? Is this merely decoration, as often appears on vault bosses? Or is there another possibility? Christ, the Logos (the Word) has been equated with the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden. Also, Christian thought claims that the act of creation was performed through the pre-existent Christ. When the writer of the book quoted below was shown this face he raised the suggestion that it might be to do with the Spirit, the Creator Spirit, being revealed through created things.

The Green Man has a special meaning today. After centuries of man’s exploitation of nature for his own benefit, as if mankind is the only creature that counts, we are now beginning to realise how dependent we are upon the natural world, that we are part and parcel of the whole of G-d’s creation, and therefore must learn to work in co-operation with it. The Green Man, especially in his strange structure blending the human form and vegetation, can be taken to symbolise the unity of mankind with the natural world. Perhaps it is not surprising that he should have a place in Christian Churches of all types for when they were built mankind was much closer to nature than we are, at least in the industrialised western world.

Given that we now know for certain that Rosslyn Chapel was built by the St Clair family specifically as a Christian edifice it seems clear that the Green Men within the chapel were, by 1446, no longer pagan but had been adopted as a Christian symbol.}
[http://www.rosslyntemplars.org.uk/index.php/rosslyn-chapel/the-green-man/]

{His significance puzzles historians. A pagan symbol of fertility, or of eternity and rebirth? His image is all around us: like mushrooms and blackberries, the more you look, the more you find.

Gardens and cathedrals are his most popular haunts – and those locations are almost a millennium apart. The Green Man first appeared in the Middle Ages. He was descended from Dionysus (Greek), Bacchus (Roman) and Osiris (Egyptian).

He personified Robin Hood, then the Green Knight in the Arthurian legend of Sir Gawaine, then Dante’s Eternal Gardener. Perhaps he planted Yggdrasil, the ash tree central to Norse mythology.

The Green Man is immortal. He has had, to date, four distinct lives: in art, in architecture, in nature and in today’s environmental consciousness.

He is depicted in early illuminated manuscripts, such as the Book of Kells, as a grinning head surrounded by foliage, usually yew or oak. Later, carvings of the Green Man appeared in many of the cathedrals of northern Europe. And here is the mystery. Why is a pagan symbol so prominent in great houses of religion?

Rochester in Kent and Hastings in Sussex stage annual “Jack in the Green” festivals, spring counterparts to harvest festivals in which a man dressed in leaves is paraded through the streets, and it is considered lucky to purloin a leaf or two.

In England, east-coast cathedrals are rich in green men, particularly Ely, Norwich and Lincoln. Ely, though vandalised by Cromwell, has ten green men, including one who sprouts foliage from his ears. Southwell Minster has nine men, including an “unmasked” one.

Most green men spew foliage from their mouths, usually oak or vine leaves. Historians believe that unmasked faces, without such foliage, have done their duty and are free to look beyond the mundane. They come out, as it were.

At Lincoln, the Green Man is not free. On a column on the west front of the cathedral, he is trapped in writhing coils of vegetation. Norwich’s Green Man looks inscrutable in the east cloisters, his face fringed with gilt oak leaves. Carlisle cathedral has several. So does Glasgow cathedral, and Melrose Abbey has a particularly hideous one.

Rosslyn Chapel near Edinburgh, built around 1446 and with Masonic and Knights Templar associations, has more than anywhere in the world: over 100. Many are close to the Gothic windows, where the foliage from the Green Man’s mouth blends into a fenestral surround.

In his third reincarnation, the Green Man witnessed environmental destruction and slumbered. In the Industrial Revolution and the Victorian era he went back to the garden – in the wrought-iron gates of Kew, on urns at Biddulph Grange in Staffordshire. This was the era when botany became a respectable science. And in the past 30 years, the Green Man awoke and took charge of our ecological consciousness. He invented the Green Party, drew our attention to rain forests and recycling, developed cycle lanes and cheap public transport. And he paved the way for the Gaia theory, that the planet is a self-regulating organism which will always survive, despite mankind’s puny attempts to destroy it.

The Green Man, 2,000 years old, is alive and well and living in a garden or cathedral near you.

Rosslyn’s famous Prentice Pillar, an extravagant representation of the Tree of Knowledge, cost the mason his life when the master mason found he’d been upstaged. Carvings of cacti and sweetcorn suggest the chapel’s founder, Sir William Sinclair, crossed the Atlantic before Columbus.

{The Sinclairs, like all Norman nobility, were also descended from the Viking, Rollo Ragnvaldsson and Poppa of Bavaria. Charles the Simple, King of France, met Rollo at the castle of St. Clair, and there made him Duke of Normandy. The Sinclairs soon multiplied to such an extent that they could not all stay at the castle of St. Clair, and were given various other castles around France. However, they all went to England with the Conqueror. One Sinclair, named William, did not like the Conqueror, his cousin, so with some other discontented barons, he went to Scotland. William St. Clair, like William the Conquerer, and Alain IV of Brittany, were descended from Conan I of Brittany. The two Williams were the grandsons of of Emma of Normandy’s brother, Richard II “the Good” of Normandy, and Judith of Brittany, the daughter of Conan I of Brittany and Ermangard of Anjou. [29]

William St. Clair served on a delegation for his father’s cousin, King Edward the Confessor, to es**rt his successor, Atheling Edward “the Exile”, back to England. Edward the Exile’s daughter was Margaret who would marry King Malcolm III Canmore of Scotland. Malcolm III was the father of David I “the Saint” King of Scotland. According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, in 1128, soon after the Council of Troyes, Hugh de Payens, the Templars’ first Grand Master, met with King David I of Scotland. King David granted Hugues and his knights the lands of Ballantradoch, by the Firth of Forth, but now renamed Temple. King David later surrounded himself with Templars, and appointed them as “the Guardians of his morals by day and night”.[30]

David married to Maud of Northumberland, whose mother was Judith of Lens, the daughter of Godfroi de Bouillon’s brother, Lambert II de Boulogne, and Adeliza, the sister of William the Conqueror. Godfroi’s younger brother, Eustace III, married David’s sister, Mary Scots. Their daughter, Mathilde married Stephen I King of England, who was the son Stephen II Henry Count of Blois, and Adela of Normandy, the daughter of William the Conqueror. Adela’s brother, Henry I King of England, married David’s sister, Editha of Scotland. Their daughter, Mathilda Empress of England, married Geoffrey V, Comte d’Anjou, whose son Henry II, married Eleanor of Aquitaine.

Robert the Bruce claimed the Scottish throne as a great-great-great-great grandson of David. He was also a descendant of Robert the Brus II, who married William St. Clair’s sister Agnes. Robert the Bruce was also the grandson of Walter Stewart, 3rd High Stewart of Scotland. Walter Stewart, the sixth High Steward of Scotland, played an important part in the Battle of Bannockburn. Walter Stewart then married Majory, daughter of Robert the Bruce, and their son Robert II, he eventually inherited the Scottish throne after his uncle David II of Scotland died. From them were descended all subsequent Stewart, or Stuart, kings of Scotland.

Before his death, Robert the Bruce had requested that his heart be taken to Jersusalem, and buried in the Templar Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The heart was taken by Sir William Sinclair, great-grandson of the first William St. Clair, and Sir James Douglas, but the two never made it to the Holy Land, having been killed in Spain in battle with the Muslims.[31] His grandson, also named William Sinclair, in the fifteenth century, became the third Earl of Orkney, first Earl of Caithness, and High Chancellor of Scotland. William’s mother was Jill Douglas, the great-granddaughter of James Douglas. James Douglas’ mother had been Elizabeth Stewart, the daughter of Alexander Stewart, 4th High Steward of Scotland.[32]

In 1441 King James II Stewart appointed William Sinclair to the post of Hereditary Patron and Protector of Scottish Masons. These were not Freemasons but working stone masons. It was not until well later that “speculative” Masons joined the guilds, which came to be known as Freemason. William Sinclair also designed the most sacred site in Freemasonry, Rosslyn Chapel, a church in the village of Roslin, replete with occult symbolism, and has often been rumored to be the burial site of the Holy Grail, being the remains of Mary Magdalene.

The myth of the family has recently bee popularized by Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code. It is at Rosslyn Chapel that Sophia, his protagonist, finds out about the pedigree of her parents, who, “incredibly, both had been from Merovingian families — direct descendants of Mary Magdalene and Jesus Christ. Sophie’s parents and ancestors, for protection, had changed their family names of Plantard and Saint-Clair.”[33]}

{Rosslyn Chapel, in Roslin Village five miles south of Edinburgh, is one of the most visited tourist attractions in Scotland. After watching the infamous movie, 'The Da Vinci Code' many years ago, I made my first visit to Rosslyn Chapel which continues to intrigue and entrance visitors from around the world. The Chapel, officially known as the Collegiate Chapel of St. Matthew, was founded on a small hill above Roslin Glen, by William Sinclair 11th Lord of Rosslyn, from the Sinclair family, a noble family descended in part from Norman Knights from Northern France. The name Sinclair is said to come from the name St. Clair, from the Latin: Sanctus Clarus, meaning ‘Holy Light’. Legends associated with Rosslyn Chapel include inspiring stories of esoteric beliefs, the Knights Templar and the Holy Grail.

Driving into Roslin Village, I found myself captivated by the sight of the Chapel in the distance, and I was eager to explore and experience the magic of Rosslyn Chapel personally. Seeing the chapel for the first time, I was amazed at how small Rosslyn Chapel actually is. Ancient sculptures adorn the outside walls, what secrets they hold remain a mystery. Mystery seekers continue to speculate that they may hold the key: the key to vast secrets which lie dormant within the chapel.

Entering the chapel, I was astounded by all that Rosslyn had to offer. Although I have visited many Gothic Cathedrals throughout the years, I have never experienced anything quite like the interior of Rosslyn Chapel before, and I was eager to bathe in its mystery. Years of neglect throughout the centuries, have in places taken their toll. However major restoration projects over the last few years have restored and conserved this ancient building for many years to come.

Hundreds of stone carvings adorn the walls and ceiling of the chapel. Biblical stories are portrayed, alongside Masonic and Templar iconography. A vast array of carvings of vines, fruits, leaves, herbs and flowers decorate the interior and exterior of the chapel. In fact, one has a sense that you are entering into a magical garden, founded on ancient mystical knowledge. Every carving has a purpose, which relates to another, all in harmony with each other.

Recently a beehive structure has been discovered on the exterior of the chapel. It appears that this was included in the design by the Master masons, revealing to us the sacred reverence which the early Sinclair’s held for the bee; an ancient symbol for the Merovingian Dynasty. Bees are also sacred symbols of the Goddess of love and an Egyptian symbol for royalty.

Above the altar I noticed a beautiful statue of a Madonna with child. The statue of the Madonna, a Victorian addition, sits in gracious majesty underneath a Stained Glass Window of the Resurrection from 1896. Sadly many other statues were removed before the Reformation, their identity remaining a mystery, leaving empty niches around the interior of the chapel.

The Large Green Man in the Lady Chapel

Rosslyn Chapel contains over 110 carvings of Green Men, an ancient Pagan symbol of renewal and fertility. This symbol is of pre-Christian origin, yet they are found throughout the chapel. Some speculative theories suggest that these Green Men may give reference to the powerful earth's energies which run below and into the chapel. The largest carving of a Green Man is found in the Lady Chapel, perhaps a reference to the powerful feminine energies which emanate from beneath the chapel. Whatever the truth, these captivating carvings continue to intrigue and entrance those who are fascinated by their unearthly secrets....}

{The study of Rennes-Le-Château incorporates more facets of esoteric research than almost any other mystery, subjects such as suppressed heretical knowledge, sacred geometry, art history, codes, Mary Magdalene and Jesus Christ, the Holy Grail, Royal Families, lost lineages, Knights Templar, Cathars, Visigoths, and the Priory of Sion, to name a few. But there is another, lesser known facet that we will now explore; the diminutive insect known as the ‘sacred bee’...

In Anatolia, a 10,000-year-old statue of the Mother Goddess adorned in a yellow and orange beehive-style tiara has led scholars to conclude that the Mother Goddess evolved into the Queen Bee around this time. At the Neolithic settlement of Catal Huyuk, rudimentary images of bees dating to 6540 BC form a circle above the head of a goddess figure, creating the first ever ‘halo’, while beehive inspired designs are stylistically portrayed on the walls of its most sacred temples. Not surprisingly, it was the Sumerians who soon emerged as the forefathers of organized beekeeping, known as Apiculture, and invented Apitherapy, or the medical use of bee products such as honey, pollen, royal jelly and venom.

Sumerian reliefs depicting the adoration of extraordinary winged figures have often been interpreted by alternative history writers as proof of extraterrestrial intervention. However, in the context of the beekeeping, it appears they simply portray the veneration of bees. Significantly, the images gave rise to the dancing goddess motif; a female dancer with her arms arched over her head that scholars identify as a bee goddess; a type of shamanic priestess. The motif, which would become central to Egyptian symbolism, appears to allude to the bees unique ability to communicate through dance; the waggle dance as it is known, or the ability to locate food up to 3 miles from the hive and communicate its whereabouts through dance, sort of prehistoric satellite navigation.

The adoption of bee symbolism in Egyptian society developed rapidly, and by the start of the First Dynasty, Egypt was known as the ‘Land of the Bee’, and the Pharaoh carried the title ‘Beekeeper’, with a bee prominently displayed in his cartouche. Additionally, Egyptians used honey as an offering to the gods in the afterlife, as well as in the mummification process. In fact, the gold and black horizontal stripes on the desk mask of Tutankhamen, and other Egyptian regalia, reference the bee’s similarly striped body. Clearly, the seed of bee veneration that was sown by the Sumerians had been harvested by the Egyptians.

Minoan and Greek mythology soon followed, and adopted the sacred bee as a vital element of their society, depicting bees on the statues of their most important gods and goddesses. They also developed the coveted position of female bee shamans, called Melissa’s, which later evolved into priestesses known as Sybil’s. On the other side of the globe, Mayan culture venerated the bee and depicted gods in its image in their most sacred temples, and bee-hut styled structures sprang up from Africa to Ireland.

The early Catholic Church adopted the bee as a symbol of the Popes authority; evidence of which can be seen in Vatican City in the beehive inspired papal headdress of past popes. Political movements, such as Communism, drew upon the altruistic, drone like, ‘proletariat’ behavior exhibited in beehives, as a blueprint for their ideologies. An example of the bee’s appreciation by those formulating and influencing the politics of the day, is the Order of the Illuminati,a ‘secret’ society founded by the German philosopher Johann Adam Weishaupt on 1 May, 1776 – Labor Day in modern times – the day of the worker, or drone. Amazingly, Weishaupt had considered naming his order ‘Bees’ – not ‘Order of the Illuminati’.

Not surprisingly, the bee was also an important symbol in Freemasonry, and was depicted in many Masonic drawings of the 18th and 19th centuries. At the heart of the Masonic tradition is the concept of industry and stability. The theme stems from the stable, regular and orderly society that is observed in a beehive. In Freemasonry, the beehive represents all that is proper in society, and could arguably be regarded as its most important symbol.

French Freemasonry soon spread to the United States of America, aided by early American forefathers such as Thomas Jefferson, who wrote passionately about the importance of bees, while others such as President George Washington, featured the beehive on his Masonic apron. In no uncertain terms, early American society borrowed many of its philosophical principals from Freemasonry. In fact, not only was the entire Western Region of the United States originally named after the bee (Deseret) but America’s most iconic statue – Washington’s Monument – pays homage to the insect in an astonishing way; it contains an inscription that recalls the importance of bees throughout history, it states: “Holiness to the Lord Deseret”, meaning ‘Holiness to the Lord, the Honeybee.’

Genesis of the bee’s adoration in France

Our abridged history of bee adoration slowly moves into the realm of Rennes-Le-Château with Napoleon Bonaparte, the military and political leader of France who in the early nineteenth century revived his countries fascination with bees. The bee was a hugely important icon of Napoleon’s reign, and his obsession with its symbolism gave rise to his nickname; The Bee. Napoleon would have grown up with the symbolism of the bee engrained in his psyche, for his homeland of Corsica was required to pay the Romans an annual tax equivalent of £200,000 in beeswax. The young emperor ensured that the bee was widely adopted in his court as well as on clothing, draperies, carpets and furniture all across France. By choosing the bee as the emblem of his reign, Napoleon was paying homage to Childeric (436 – 481), one of the ‘long haired’ Merovingian Kings of the region known as Gaul. When Childeric’s tomb was uncovered in 1653, it was found to contain 300 golden jewels, styled in the image of a bee. And of course, these are the same bees that Napoleon had affixed to his coronation robe. Sadly, of the 300 bees only two have survived.

Childeric’s hoard was entrusted to Leopold Wilhelm von Habsburg, a military governor of the Austrian Netherlands who was believed to have been a descendent of the Merovingian dynasty. Six years after his coronation, Napoleon married Marie-Louise, the daughter of Francis II, the last Habsburg to sit on the throne of the Holy Roman Empire. Napoleon’s choice of the bee as the national emblem of his imperial rule spoke volumes about his desire to be associated with the Carolingians and Merovingian’s; the early French kings whose funeral furniture featured bee and cicada symbolism as a metaphor for resurrection and immortality. The bee was also a vital symbol of French industry and one of the most prominent emblems of the French Revolution (1789–1799).

Across Europe, more than sixty cities selected an officially approved heraldry shield that included bees as part of its template. Remarkably, the bee was the precursor to the Fleur-de-lys; the national emblem of France. The theory is supported by many, including the French physician, antiquary and archaeologist Jean-Jacques Chifflet. In fact Louis XII, the 35th King of France, was known as ‘the father of the pope’ and featured a beehive in his Coat of Arms. Disappointingly, his efforts to have the bee adopted as the Republic’s official emblem were rejected by the National Convention due to their belief that “Bees have Queens”. Nevertheless, the bee remained a prominent element of French culture throughout the First and Second Empire (1804 to 1814, and 1852-1870) due to the enthusiastic patronage it had previously received....}

{Rosslyn Chapel was haven for bees...

An ancient chapel has revealed a new mystery with the discovery of a 600-year-old hive built into the stones.

Builders renovating Rosslyn Chapel, which was made famous in The Da Vinci Code, found the "unprecedented" hive while dismantling a rooftop pinnacle.

The bees entered the hive through a hole in a carved flower crafted by the chapel's master stone masons.

The 15th Century Midlothian building is undergoing a £13m conservation and site improvement project.

The discovery was made when two pinnacles, which had been made unstable by nesting jackdaws, had to be taken down stone by stone and rebuilt.

Malcolm Mitchell, of Page Park Architects, said: "It was a big hollow about the size of a gas cylinder and the hive had obviously been abandoned."

'Teasing' masons

It is believed that the bees left the hive when a canopy was put over the chapel during renovation works. Another pinnacle had a similar hollow, but no access hole.

"Master masons built these in, whether it was under direction or not. What you find at Rosslyn is there are so many irregularities and nuances in the stone work and it's as if the stone masons are teasing us from the past," Mr Mitchell said.

"These hives were never intended to be a source of honey. They were there purely to protect the bees from our inclement weather."

"There doesn't seem to be any precedent.

"Bee hives in the past were normally portable. Often they were made of wicker baskets or ceramics, but the intention was that you would have access to them.

"At Rosslyn they are there purely for the bees."

He said there appeared to be a coating to protect the sandstone from the insects, which can damage masonry.

The hive has been sent to local beekeepers in an attempt to identify the type of insect that made them.

It is hoped the bees will return once the renovation works are complete.

Several unusual findings have been made during the project, including two skeletons.}

The Green Man...the Knights Templar...and the Rosslyn Chapel...a Decidedly MEROVINGIAN Narrative:

Ancient Bee Symbolism History

This document will open your eyes, The first Scot who I am being credited with documenting for the first time in Scottish history. Anselm le Fleming and Agnes of Dunbars son is Richard Scott who married Avicia De London of Molle. Their grand sons or sons are Richard and Michael the Wizard (sorcerers and Magi's with this history and the Bees) Basically the Merovingian lines believed they are children of Christ. The interesting thing is that it associates what the Scottish believed. They the Scott families always linked this Bee history with Scota, which is true. Now, we know that the Fleming Scott lines are Royal Merovingian lines. This is now proved by my research with Fred Fleming in the UK and St. Andrews University. Your button is now part of this lost history and its links to why the ancient stone bee hives were made at Rosslyn Chapel, which was built by the Sinclairs and associated families. The interesting thing is that today, the property of Rosslyn Chapel is owned by todays current Scott/Stuart, the 10th Duke of Buccleuch.

From this most powerful Royal Scott family of the Buccluech Scott line, our US engraver Robert Scot, was passed down this ancient information. Through the Scotstarvit Scot line, this grandfather Sir John Scot was one the greatest academics that ever lived in Scottish history. He was removed from power by Oliver Cromwell in the British Civil Wars. So, there is no mistake on my behalf on what I have provided you on the button being Robert Scots personal button and that it was one made by him. Because this symbolism of the Egyptian history was introduced to America in our Government symbolism by him and him only! Understand, Masons were given this symbolism by this family in America and the "Masons" really did not even know that all of their most important symbolism comes from this direct family Scot/Fleming-Stuart families!

Another contrived planted piece of evidence is the Merovingian bee symbolism. Bloodline of the Holy Grail describes the relevance of the bee to the Merovingians.
The Merovingian kings were noted sorcerers in the manner of the Samaritan Magi, and they firmly believed in the hidden powers of the honeycomb. Because a honeycomb is naturally made up of hexagonal prisms, it was considered by philosophers to be the manifestation of divine harmony in nature. Its construction was associated with insight and wisdom ~ez_ndash~ as detailed in Proverbs 24:13-14: ~ez_ldquo~My son, eat thou honey, because it is good~ez_hellip~ So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul~ez_hellip~~ez_rdquo~

To the Merovingians, the bee was a most hallowed creature. A sacred emblem of Egyptian royalty, it became a symbol of Wisdom. Some 300 small golden bees were found stitched to the cloak of Childeric I (son of Meroveus) when his grave was unearthed in 1653. Napoleon had these attached to his own coronation robe in 1804. He claimed this right by virtue of his descent from James de Rohan-Stuardo, the natural son (legitimized in 1667) of Charles II Stuart of Britain by Marguerite, Duchesse de Rohan. The Stuarts in turn were entitled to this distinction because they, and their related Counts of Brittany, were descended from Clodion~ez_rsquo~s brother Fredemundus ~ez_ndash~ thus (akin to the Merovingians) they were equally in descent from the Fisher Kings through Faramund. The Merovingian bee was adopted by the exiled Stuarts in Europe, and engraved bees are still to be seen on some Jacobite glassware.~ez_rdquo~

The bee is also used symbolically by Masons.

Satan~ez_rsquo~s conspiracy is ancient. Satan was instrumental in choosing the bee symbol for the Merovingians because the bee was linked to the Tribe of Dan (Judges 14:8). Many deceived people believe the Tribe of Dan will birth the Antichrist. These ideas are Satanic propaganda intended to give credence to the idea that the Antichrist will be human. The Tribe of Dan is relevant today because some of them have stolen the Jews identity. Many of the so called Jews are not Jews at all but are descendents of the serpent seed Tribe of Dan. Read this article for more about the Tribe of Dan and their role in the End Times.

Some of my dreams from God have indicated that the Antichrist will be an angelic entity posing as human. Considering that most Satanically controlled mainstream preachers insist upon the idea that the Antichrist will be Jewish, despite any scriptural evidence, suggests that he will indeed be masquerading as a Jew because it benefits Satan~ez_rsquo~s great plan in some way. Considering the above mentioned evidence that the Merovingians are supposedly Jewish, the fact that Satan~ez_rsquo~s controlled Christian establishment promotes the idea that the Antichrist will be Jewish gives credence to our theory that he will claim to be a Merovingian descending from Mary Magdalene. This will all be a lie however because the Antichrist will be an angelic entity posing as a human.

Will the Antichrist be a human being like many claim?

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; ~ez_ndash~ 2 Thessalonians 2:3

Many people interpret the above passage as describing a human Antichrist. However, the word man not only refers to humans but is also used to describe the angel Gabriel. In Daniel 9:21, he is explicitly called ~ez_ldquo~the man Gabriel.~ez_rdquo~ Satan himself is referred to as a man in Isaiah 14:12-14. God seems to go out of his way to emphasize the fact that both humans and angels are referred to as men. Perhaps he is providing us a warning that an angelic entity will be posing as a human Antichrist.

Why would Satan try to make it look like the Antichrist is a human? By pretending that the Antichrist is a human Satan can manipulate and distort other prophecies. One of these is the prophecy that states that the ~ez_ldquo~beast shall arise from the sea~ez_rdquo~ (Revelation 13:1)

The Merovingians are supposedly this ~ez_ldquo~Grail~ez_rdquo~ bloodline. They descend from Merovee the King of the Franks who ruled from 447-458 A.D.
