Burning Man Effigy, The Horrific Irony of God's Final Judgment

Burning Man Effigy, The Horrific Irony of God's Final Judgment 

While discussing Burning Man with Brother James he summed it up like this:

We (Saints) are looking for our Blessed Hope - Jesus (Coming in The Rapture) and the Lost are also looking for their hope, but it isn't Jesus it is the enemy to Jesus (The AntiChrist).

Brother James also said, he can't wrap his mind around why people would want to go to the lake of fire, but when we consider they have been turned over to a reprobate mind, one can comprehend this better as discussed in Romans 1:18-32 KJB.

Romans 1:18

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;”

King James Version (KJV)


1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 King James Bible


But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

2For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

3For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

4But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

5Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

6Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

7For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

8But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

9For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

10Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

11Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

                                                 Whenever The Lord places something heavily on my heart to share - I can't find rest until I have studied it and shared it with other.
                               
The 2023 annual Burning Man Event in the Nevada Desert where nearly 80,000 people gathered in HEDONISTIC RITUALS and worship of MAN BURNING IN EFFIGY while practicing the pagan principals listed in their 10 core principles.  

*hedonism - philosophy of pleasure of the moment is the only possible end, that one kind of pleasure is not to be preferred to another. One who regards pleasure as the chief goal of life" is from 1854. A hedonist is properly the follower of any ethical system in which some sort of pleasure ranks as the highest good. The Epicurean identifies this pleasure with the practice of virtue.

*Epicurean - A lover of pleasure

*burn in effigy - to inflict upon an image (man) the punishment (burning in fire) that is deserved as judgment. An expression of indignation or hatred.

radical (adj.)

late 14c., "originating in the root or ground;" of body parts or fluids, "vital to life," from Latin radicalis "of or having roots," from Latin radix (genitive radicis) "root" (from PIE root *wrād- "branch, root"). The basic sense of the word in all meanings is "pertaining or relating to a root or roots," hence "thoroughgoing, extreme."

The figurative meaning "going to the origin, essential" is from 1650s. The political sense of "reformist" is by 1817, of the extreme section of the British Liberal party (radical reform had been a current phrase since 1786), via the notion of "change from the roots" (see radical (n.)). The meaning "unconventional"

INCLUSION = Ecumenism ALL of us are God's children.  Does this sound Biblical?  If you say yes, please check yourself and study carefully John 3:16-25 KJB. 

That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

18He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

19And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

20For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

21But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

SELF RELIANCE?  Does this sound Biblical?  if you say

 yes, please check yourself and read:

Philippians 3:3

“For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.”

King James Version (KJV)


Leaving NO TRACE = MASSIVE HYPOCRISY EXPOSED:

Burning Man ravers abandon cars, blankets and their own waste: ‘Have some decency!’ (msn.com)

Thanks to Brother James for sharing this post with me.



"All the Burning Man trash has got to go, one way or the other. Local authorities are concerned about the scale of left-behind detritus. *  (Waste - Trash - Debris) *definition left by author of this blog.

“We have a sign which states that we do not accept human waste,” she said. “Some people take cat litter to their camp, put feces in it and bag it."

“And they come with five-gallon barrels of urine. We tell them that there is no way we will take feces or urine. People do that instead of using the Burning Man outhouses. I don’t get it.”

She sets up free porta-potties in order to keep things clean, but even that can go only so far. “People will stop and s–t and pee by our bins,” she said. “We’ve caught people and bawled them outYou have to have to have some decency.”



This year's event struck me especially as prophetic and insightful in so many layers that demanded attention and documentation for instruction as an example and as a witness and testimony.

BACKGROUND

Background of knowing the event lasts 9 Days, with the 9th day culminating with burning the MAN over the TEMPLE.

What is Burning Man? What to know about its name, what people do there (usatoday.com)

 "In 1986, two men burned an eight-foot tall human-shaped sculpture in San Francisco’s Baker Beach as a small crowd gathered to watch the first annual Burning Man

Today, tens of thousands of people gather in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert each summer for about nine days to create a temporary city known for its communal living and eccentric displays of art and expression. 

Burning Man got its name from a giant sculpture called The Man. The sculpture is burned to cap off the event.

Tens of thousands of people known as “Burners” travel to Nevada to create a kind of utopia. They build villages, a medical center, an airport and performance stages. 

Burning Man is all about self-expression and the rejection of corporatism and capitalism. Instead of using money, attendees borrow, barter and trade for what they need."



Since the beginning of Buring Man started making the news, I always looked at the event as a pagan orgy. But recently, and especially after this past 2023 event the Holy Spirit has given me an unction to do this study.  I was surprised how it opens the doors to the not only the lost soul pagans but to the Laodicean Church as well.  If you do not believe the King James bible is the final authority of God's word, if you believe in the pagan Trinity, if you believe Revelation and Prophecy do not relate to the Church, if you do not believe in the Pretribulation Rapture, then you should probably stop here and go on your way. We look at the Pagans and as the Pharisees would say, "Look at those sinners."  And yes, they are in a sad state, and we pray they find Jesus as their savior before it is too late. But let's look at the FALSE CHRIST, the preaching of another Jesus, the false Gospel, following after idols that Jesus and throughout scripture.












The Real  Man

 The Real Man Jesus Christ (Not HUMAN like Lee Brainard and other false teachers from their perverted Bibles teach) The Son of Man, The only Begotten Son of God (Not the only son of God like the false teachers claim from their perverted bible translations)  - The I AM - The Creator of the Universe - The Savior - The King of Kings - The Image of the Invisible God - The fullness of the Godhead BODILY -  (NOT the 2nd Person of the Trinity like the Trinitarians claim) The Kinsman REDEEMER Jesus Christ who will Catch up His Bride the Church here very soon (Not like the false non PreTrib believers claim) who will then RULE WITH A ROD OF IRON and we with Him for a 1,000 years (Not like the amillenial false teachers believe), who will then judge the unsaved at the GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGEMENT (not like the universalists believe).

Matthew 24:30


And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

The False Man: 


Mankind creating god in their own Image
Romans 1:18-22, Jude 1:11 KJB (Note how Cain wanted to create his own religious activity and not what God wanted)



666 3 HEXIGONS 


Pagan Concept of the Trinity


Ultimately ANOTHER CHRIST - Satan loves it when Christians call Jesus the 2nd PERSON of the Trinity or God The Son.  This is pure polytheism and PAGAN.  I PRAY EYES BE OPENED.

 The ultimate arrival of The Son of Perdition The Antichrist
Anti does not mean against it means ANOTHER CHRIST - to deceive the lost as their god.

Note:  Bible teachers and Pastors often teach Trinity.  Most do not teach End Times Events, If they do they will say that ANTI Christ means against Christ.  The truth is in context it means ANOTHER CHRIST.

Most know who Jesus is but do not know Him - Believe On Him and Worship Him THEY ARE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER CHRIST - AND SEEK THEIR OWN WAY. 


Jesus Christ is NOT a LOVE HUGGY BUNNY that loves and accepts everyone for who they are
that he loves sinners (who are unrepentant.)



ANTI CHRIST RISING THE STATE IS NOW SET




Only the Saints - Those who are saved belong to JESUS





2 Thessalonians 2:4

“Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.”

King James Version (KJV)



"Additional Biblical references put together by Blueletter Bible to the Antichrist include the following:

As the apostle John records in First and Second John, an antichrist denies the Father and the Son (1 John 2:22), does not acknowledge Jesus (1 John 4:3), and denies that Jesus came in the flesh (2 John 1:7). There have been many “antichrists,” as 1 John 2:18 states. But there is also coming the Antichrist.

The imposing, boastful king of Daniel 7 who oppresses the Jews and tries to “change the set times and the laws” (verse 25).

The leader who establishes a 7-year covenant with Israel and then breaks it in Daniel 9.

The king who sets up the abomination of desolation in Mark 13:14 (Daniel 9:27).

The man of lawlessness in 2 Thessalonians 2:1–12.

The rider on a white horse (representing his claim to be a man of peace) in Revelation 6:2.

The first beast—the one from the sea—in Revelation 13. This beast receives power from the dragon (Satan) and speaks “proud words and blasphemies” (verse 5) and wages war against the saints (verse 7)

The Antichrist/beast, along with his false prophet, will be thrown into the lake of fire, where they will spend all eternity in torment (Revelation 19:20; 20:10)."

A man created in the vain imagination of man, the carnal mind is enmity against God. Colossians 2:8,9 Romans 8:7,8 KJB.

The FIRE GOD 

So much is revealed by the movie Prometheus        


In Greek mythology (= ancient stories), a demigod (= someone who is part human and part god) who stole fire from Mount Olympus:

The Connection between Greek gods and fallen angels

(4) The connection between Greek gods, fallen angels and mythological creatures. : conspiracy (reddit.com)



For background I urge the reader to study the details of the movie Prometheus and the atheist Ridley Scott's commentary. Also read the Fallen Angels and their Nephilim Offspring and the connection to Greek Mythology based on real characters and events.

The Movie Prometheus Commentary:

Prometheus God of FIRE

* Thanks to  Sharon for bringing up Prometheus to me during a Bible study when I shared this current study.

(4) Prometheus - Everything explained and analysed *SPOILERS* : movies (reddit.com)

Prometheus contains such a huge amount of mythic resonance that it effectively obscures a more conventional plot. 

Let's begin with the eponymous titan himself, Prometheus. He was a wise and benevolent entity who created mankind in the first place, forming the first humans from clay. The Gods were more or less okay with that, until Prometheus gave them fire. This was a big no-no, as fire was supposed to be the exclusive property of the Gods. As punishment, Prometheus was chained to a rock and condemned to have his liver ripped out and eaten every day by an eagle. (His liver magically grew back, in case you were wondering.)

Fix that image in your mind, please: the giver of life, with his abdomen torn open. We'll be coming back to it many times in the course of this article.

The ethos of the titan Prometheus is one of willing and necessary sacrifice for life's sake. That's a pattern we see replicated throughout the ancient world. J G Frazer wrote his lengthy anthropological study, The Golden Bough, around the idea of the Dying God - a lifegiver who voluntarily dies for the sake of the people. It was incumbent upon the King to die at the right and proper time, because that was what heaven demanded, and fertility would not ensue if he did not do his royal duty of dying.


Can we find a God in human history who creates plant life through his own death, and who is associated with a river? It's not difficult to find several, but the most obvious candidate is Osiris, the epitome of all the Frazerian 'Dying Gods'.

And we wouldn't be amiss in seeing the first of the movie's many Christian allegories in this scene, either. The Engineer removes his cloak before the ceremony, and hesitates before drinking the cupful of genetic solvent; he may well have been thinking 'If it be Thy will, let this cup pass from me.'

So, we know something about the Engineers, a founding principle laid down in the very first scene: acceptance of death, up to and including self-sacrifice, is right and proper in the creation of life. Prometheus, Osiris, John Barleycorn, and of course the Jesus of Christianity are all supposed to embody this same principle. It is held up as one of the most enduring human concepts of what it means to be 'good'.

Seen in this light, the perplexing obscurity of the rest of the film yields to an examination of the interwoven themes of sacrifice, creation, and preservation of life. 

The crew of the Prometheus discover an ancient chamber, presided over by a brooding solemn face, in which urns of the same black substance are kept. A mural on the wall presents an image which, if you did as I asked earlier on, you will recognize instantly: the lifegiver with his abdomen torn open. Go and look at it here to refresh your memory. Note the serenity on the Engineer's face here.

From the Engineers' perspective, so long as humans retained that notion of self-sacrifice as central, we weren't entirely beyond redemption. .

 An astonishing excerpt from the Movies.com interview with Ridley Scott:

Movies.com: We had heard it was scripted that the Engineers were targeting our planet for destruction because we had crucified one of their representatives, and that Jesus Christ might have been an alien. Was that ever considered?

Ridley Scott: We definitely did, and then we thought it was a little too on the nose. But if you look at it as an “our children are misbehaving down there” scenario, there are moments where it looks like we’ve gone out of control, running around with armor and skirts, which of course would be the Roman Empire. And they were given a long run. A thousand years before their disintegration actually started to happen. And you can say, "Let's send down one more of our emissaries to see if he can stop it." Guess what? They crucified him.

Yeah. The reason the Engineers don't like us any more is that they made us a Space Jesus, and we broke him.  That's RIDLEY SCOTT.

So, imagine poor crucified Jesus, a fresh spear wound in his side. Oh, hey, there's the 'lifegiver with his abdomen torn open' motif again. That's three times now: Prometheus, Engineer mural, Jesus Christ. And I don't think I have to mention the 'sacrifice in the interest of giving life' bit again, do I? 

So how did our (in the context of the film) terrible murderous act of crucifixion end up wiping out all but one of the Engineers back on LV-223? Presumably through the black slime, which evidently models its behaviour on the user's mental state. Create unselfishly, accepting self-destruction as the cost, and the black stuff engenders fertile life. But expose the potent black slimy stuff to the thoughts and emotions of flawed humanity, and 'the sleep of reason produces monsters'. We never see the threat that the Engineers were fleeing from, we never see them killed other than accidentally (decapitation by door), and we see no remaining trace of whatever killed them. Either it left a long time ago, or it reverted to inert black slime, waiting for a human mind to reactivate it.

Shaw's comment when the urn chamber is entered - 'we've changed the atmosphere in the room' - is deceptively informative. The psychic atmosphere has changed, because humans - tainted, Space Jesus-killing humans - are present. The slime begins to engender new life, drawing not from a self-sacrificing Engineer but from human hunger for knowledge, for more life, for more everything. Little wonder, then, that it takes serpent-like form. The symbolism of a corrupting serpent, turning men into beasts, is pretty unmistakable."  end quote.


Side study notes of interest.  Without going into this subject dogmatically, I contend first dogmatically backed by scripture that this be related in that Satan was formerly known as Lucifer and he was the chief Archangel.  After his pride led him to believe he could usurp God's authority he was cast out of the third heaven and sent down to earth with 1/3 of the angels that followed him.  Satan and the Fallen Angels inhabited the 2nd and Third Heavens SPACE and planet earth.  Study thoughts backed up by debatable scripture: The former beautiful planet (sphere earth see the earth is NOT FLAT) 


Why the connection between Fallen Angels and the False Narrative of Flat Earth?

Making creation into the vain imagination of man and not the awe-inspiring creation of the universe

After the rebellion of Lucifer became dark and void until the creation of Genesis Chapter 1. See Study on the GAP Theory.

Why I believe the GAP Theory of Creation in Genesis; Evolution and Young Earth 2 Satanic Errors (thethirdheaventraveler.com)


The fallen Angels showed mankind the wonders they saw in the 3rd Heaven and built great Pyramids and Inhuman structures.   Study this for yourself how the megaliths created were impossible for man to create.

See Study on the Pyramids were not created by human slaves.

 (thethirdheaventraveler.com)


Ask you million dollar question? Since the fallen angels happened before Jesus' birth to Mary. How did Satan copycat Jesus creating man and then giving himself as a sacrifice for man BEFORE when the Greek demigod Prometheus created man and sacrificed his life for man and the Egyptian god Osiris ???

Satan would have to have known from the Genesis 3:15 thar Jesus would have to be the sacrifice.

Genesis 3:15

“And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.”

King James Version (KJV)


Then why would he play into God's plan and have the Jews kill him?

Then why would he play into God's plan and have the Jews kill him?

If they knew they would not have killed him

1 Corinthians 2:8

“Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.”


I believe the answer is Satan did not know the MYSTERY (that which is not revealed) of THE CHURCH - The AGE OF GRACE.  Satan was more concerned about Israel not accepting the Messiah and stopping the Kingdom of God from immediately happening.


Yes, and it's interesting that the fallen angels mimicked a god creating man, then sacrificing himself for mankind. Before Jesus did the sacrifice part


So the sacrificing part seems to point to Genesis 3:15


Acknowledgment I want to thank Sharon for making the following quote to this study and linking Prometheus to this:
Kabbalistic Golem Ritual and sharing the following quote:



"Moronic, lost mankind strives for transformation into something that cannot be achieved through any earthly action, or any action of an evil spirit. It's ONLY through the "operation of God" Colossians 2:12 KJV — Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.  
(Ask this question) Can a dead creature be made alive?
(Study Mary Shelley's FRANKENSTEIN) End Quote.

Years back I did quite a study on Mary Shelley's work. I had made written notes and am unable to locate them. However, I distinctly remember the and have found links that discuss the powerful nature of man trying to play God, to  reanimate that which has been determined by God as dead.

The central theme symbols according to are  FIRE and LIGHT.  

Symbols


In Frankenstein, light symbolizes knowledge, discovery, and enlightenment. The natural world is a place of dark secrets, hidden passages, and unknown mechanisms; the goal of the scientist is then to reach light. The dangerous and more powerful cousin of light is fire.

Identification and analysis of Frankenstein's symbols, and where they occur.


Nimrod (Genesis 10:8-12) the Grandson of Ham whose decedents Caanan was cursed by his father Noah for the incestuous relationship with his mother. Ham whose wife was the bloodline of the Nephilim before the FLOOD.


The Nephilim were said to be a race or a group of people that had distinct physical characteristics of large size and great strength. They are first mentioned in Genesis chapter 6 as the progeny of the “sons of God” and the “daughters of men.” Although the psychological characteristics of the Nephilim are not specifically described in the Bible, they are pictured in the Second Temple writings as being very belligerent, sexually aggressive, and prone to conflict. Immediately after they are mentioned, Genesis goes on to discuss how the heart and minds of people became continually evil, and God’s flood judgement in response. But the Bible indicates that the Nephilim reappeared after presumably being killed off in the Flood. How could that have happened? This paper explores a possibility that may not have been previously considered – that the wife of Ham (one of the sons of Noah), who was one of the individuals present on the ark, was born from Nephilim stock. She would therefore have passed her DNA to some of her children (especially to her son Canaan) and later descendants, so that individuals of large size and/or psychopathic behavior could therefore reappear later in history. Also considered is the possibility that the Biblical Nimrod, a descendant of Ham, was the Sumerian king Gilgamesh, and that he also was genetically Nephilim.

(PDF) Was Ham's Wife of the Nephilim? (researchgate.net)

Romans 9:13

“As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.”

Contrary to false bible teachers, this says what it says and means precisely what it says. What is also not taught and understood is why Esau? What did he ever do to God?

Exodus 3:2-6, 13,14 KJB


to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.

2And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

3And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.

4And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.

5And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

6Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.


And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?

14And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you

Nehemiah 9:12,19


Moreover thou leddest them in the day by a cloudy pillar; and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein they should go.

13Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments:

14And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant:

15And gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and promisedst them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them.

16But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks, and hearkened not to thy commandments,

17And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not.

18Yea, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, This is thy God that brought thee up out of Egypt, and had wrought great provocations;

19Yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them

 not in the wilderness: the pillar of the cloud

 departed not from them by day, to lead them in

 the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to

 shew them light, and the way wherein they

 should go.



 Compare Deuteronomy 1:33 (see מַרְאֵהאֵֿשׁ Numbers 9:15,16 P);


And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the

 tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony: and at even there was upon the

 tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the

 morning.

The Temple


Humanity knows there is a God Read Romans 1:18-21.  They will worship someone or something, always.  Even the most hard core atheist will worship their god which is MAN becoming God.

 Many believe the burning man was just a group of people hanging out watching a bonfire and partying.  But in the end there is an agenda behind man's desire for RIGHTEOUSNESS and JUSTIFICATION.   

The so called Sacred Temple at Burning Man

Temple Guardians – The Temple Guardians hold the space of the Temple of Burning Man, Black Rock City.

The moment the first pieces of the Black Rock City Temple cross the threshold onto the playa, it becomes part of the living history of the earth upon which it will soon stand. Once constructed, its healing energies embrace all those seeking reflection, resolution, release, and renewal.

During the event, the Temple Guardians help provide a safe space so that everyone may have the experience and expression they need at the Temple. In return, a respectful consideration of the space, the land, and its people is asked of those visiting. Please be mindful of guidance about placing human remains at the Temple, and of the closing hours of the Temple to prepare for Sunday night burn. More on both below.
Human Remains at the Temple

The Temple sits among our neighbors, the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe, who celebrate alongside us as we honor our loved ones in this venerable healing space. As inhabitants and caretakers of this land for centuries, the Paiute believe that leaving non-native human remains on native land adversely affects the living spirits within the Lake and Black Rock Desert. In the Paiute community, a person’s energy remains in their ashes. The Tribe takes great care in ensuring that this energy is protected and honored up to and including their final placement. Out of respect to the Paiute people and culture, it is asked that Black Rock City participants refrain from leaving cremated human remains at the Temple.

We are thus asked to find alternative ways to pay tribute to loved ones without leaving their remains at the Temple. One suggested option is to bring ashes in to absorb the Temple’s energy and embrace, and then remove them before the burn.

To learn more about the history of the playa’s original inhabitants and why this practice is important to their people, check out this podcast (“The Intersection + Burning Man”) and video featuring Dean Barlese, Spiritual Leader of the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe.
Sunday Pre-Burn Closing Hours

The Temple will stop receiving visitors at dawn on the Sunday before Labor Day, to safely secure the perimeter. Temple Guardian Offering Carriers will be on hand to place offerings on behalf of those who may need assistance after the Temple has closed. Please ask any Guardian standing at the perimeter to direct you.

The Temple closes at sunrise Sunday morning so that the Temple structure can be prepared for a safe burn. You are still welcome to view the Temple from beyond the perimeter during this time. The Temple burn is scheduled for 8pm PT on Sunday.
Gentle Reminders

Be respectful of photography at the Temple, as offerings are personal. YOU MUST ASK FOR CONSENT BEFORE DOCUMENTING SOMEONE’S EXPERIENCE IN THE TEMPLE. Most participants prefer to not have their tributes photographed, nor themselves photographed in a vulnerable moment.

Unlike much of the art on the playa, the Temple is not meant for climbing. It is structurally built to support offerings during the week, but equally constructed for its deliberate safe collapse. Do not climb.

Please refrain from smoking, smudging, or placing candles or incense inside the Temple. This will help ensure the Temple, its participants and their offerings remain safe until Sunday’s burn.

Thank you for your respect and mindfulness. To learn more about the Temple Guardians and how to volunteer, visit us here.

The Mud Pit





Psalm 40:2-4

King James Version


2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.

4 Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

Burning Man's website suggests that burners wash the mud off their cars as soon as they can. The high pH of the dust can cause serious damage to cars if they're left unwashed, according to the organization. The official website recommends burners either go to a car wash or clean the car themselves using water and vinegar, Armor All, and an air compressor to fully clear all the dirt and dust.

THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT.


Revelation 20:11

“And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.”

King James Version (KJV)


Revelation 20:12

“And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.”

King James Version (KJV)


Revelation 20:13

“And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.”

King James Version (KJV)



NOTE:  STUDY NOTES provided by Brother Jon Lutz 

 The Numbers 11 and 22.  (Judgment 9/11 22

 anniversary)

The meaning of the number eleven is important in that it can symbolize disorder, chaos and judgment. In the Bible, 11 is used twenty-four times and "11th" can be found 19 times.

Coming after 10 (which represents law and responsibility), eleven (11) represents the opposite, which is the irresponsibility of breaking the Law, which brings disorder and judgment

In Genesis 11, men rebelled against God and built the tower of Babel. He judged them by confusing their language, resulting in chaos. Jehoiakim, one of the last kings over Judah, ruled for eleven years (609 to 598 B.C.). His successor, King Jehoiachin, rules for only three months before the Babylonians take control of Jerusalem. 


Number 11 and Edom

There are eleven dukes of Edom (Edom was another name for Esau, Jacob's brother) in the Bible. Although closely related to the house of Israel, a bitter hatred existed between the two peoples. The dukes, or chiefs, of Edom were Timnah, Alvah, Jetheth, Aholibamah, Elah, Pinon, Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar, Magdiel, and Iram (Genesis 36:40 - 43).

More Info on Biblical Meaning of 11

Scripture lists at least 11 kings or high-ranking officials who were offended when they were told the truth by one of God's servants. The men who offended themselves included the Pharaoh of Egypt (Exodus 10:28) and King Balak of Moab (Numbers 24:10). Kings Jeroboam (1Kings 13:4) and Ahab (1Kings 22:27) of Israel also got upset when told the truth.

Jesus was about 33 years (a multiple of eleven) when he died ('cut off' in Daniel 9:26) for the sins of mankind. The eleventh book, found in most versions of Scripture, is 1Kings. Moses was commanded to make 11 curtains for the tabernacle in the wilderness (Exodus 26:7 - 8).

Meaning of Numbers: The Number 22

The number 22, which is double eleven (which symbolizes disorder and chaos), can mean a concentration of disorganization. Jeroboam I, the very first king of Israel after the kingdom split in two in 930 B.C., reigned for 22 official years (21 actual years from 930 to 909 B.C.).

The Hebrew alphabet is made up of 22 letters, which are used to compose the Word of God. The word of God is called a lamp (Psalms 119:105), thus it is the light by which we are to live. 

The word light is found 264 times in the Bible. When 264 is divided by 12 (divine authority) we have twenty-two, which represents light.

God created 22 things in the six days of creation. There are twenty-two books in the Aaronic (Levitical) Old Testament, which is the light of God for Israel. There are twenty-two generations from Adam to Jacob.



Revelation 14:18

“And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.”

King James Version (KJV)


Hell is REAL  and inside the Earth.  


Hell is the holding place for all the unsaved until the end of the Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ

Here is the End Time Time Line


 The Lake of Fire is REAL and will take place after the Millennial Reign as the Punishment after the GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT of Jesus Christ.  

False teaching of UNIVERSALISM is on the rise.  I get lots of hate mail for my exposure of apostate reprobates like Rodney Beaulieu who tickles feeble minded non bible reading people's ears. See 2 Timothy Chapter 2.   Read links:

I get a ton of hate mail from CINOs  (Christian in name only) individuals who mock me for teaching Hell is Real.  I saw with my own eyes how the devil wants people to not know about hell. While witnessing to an unbeliever in a hospital cafeteria whose wife was in ICU about salvation and hell, a Protestant Hospital Chaplain came up and added to what I was saying.  One step behind the Protestant Chaplain was a Catholic Chaplain who swooped in and said, "There goes these hell fire scaring people believers again.  No God would not throw someone in there we have to believe in his goodness and promises. I can explain it to you.  The unsaved sinner looked bewildered and said, "See you Christians can never agree on anything."



The Cleansing following the Millennial Reign


2 Peter 3:10

“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.”

King James Version (KJV)



2 Peter 3:12

“Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?”

King James Version (KJV)


2 Peter 3:13

“Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.”

King James Version (KJV)


Dream Warning of the Beginning of the End 


The Beginning of the Revelation #Dreams Look Up Saints (thethirdheaventraveler.com)

I awoke from a stark dream this morning at 3:45 AM (3+4+5 = 12 Divine Government) local on 5/21/2023, 5= Grace, 21 = Judgments of Revelation; 2023 = Our current year.

In this very short but shocking dream I heard the words, "Go to the Beginning of The Word (Genesis) and write down the 3rd word. Go to the beginning of the end of the Word (Revelation) and write down the 3rd word. Now, go and do the same for the 6th word in both.  (Genesis and Revelation)" 

I immediately woke up and verbally repeated the dream so I would not forget and then got up and wrote down the dream to make sure I would not forget. I sensed this was from the Holy Spirit and had that strong sense of urgency of warning those who are lost and to encourage the Saints.  This was similar to the dream I had back in 2013, ten years ago.  The number 10 in the Bible indicates God's divine order, completion and judgment reflecting God's authority and governmental rule over the affairs of mankind. Here is what I found and ask the Saints please check and verify:

"Beginning of the which..."    

Analysis:  In Genesis I found the 3rd word as "Beginning".  I went to Revelation and found the 3rd word as "OF".   I repeated the same for the 6th word and found:  "The" and "which".   It was clear that the dream was pointing to the end which is the book of Revelation.  Note: 3 + 6 = 9 which means JUDGMENT. This was used twice (2) meaning a witness thereof.   It all ends here folks. The final word, "which" is in Revelation pointing to this is what is beginning.  Which is a determiner and pronoun used to specify or identify a noun, that being REVELATION. 

We would read as follows:  The Beginning of the Revelation!

Interpretation: WARNING:  We are in the Beginning of the END!  I strongly believe God is telling his children to look up because we are "soon in God's time but we are now soon to go into and begin the end which is Revelation (the end of this age meaning the Saints will soon be Raptured and the 7-year Tribulation begin.  


 Look Up Saints

Even so, Come, Lord Jesus

These are the snapshots from Burning Man, which,
0:11if you don't know, is the notorious mega cultural event
0:15held in the desert of Nevada, which they call Black Rock City.
0:20They build stuff.
0:21They burn stuff.
0:22And over the timespan of nine days, these group of people live together
0:27and they function together around the ten core principles of radical
0:32inclusion, gifting, commodification, radical self-reliance,
0:37radical self-expression, communal effort, civic responsibility,
0:42leaving no trace participation and immediacy.
0:50But it's been growing by the thousands every single year.
0:54And this year it held about 80,000 people.
0:58But throughout Burning Man's history, there's been multiple accidents,
1:02deaths, arrests, as well as some really horrific stories of sexual assault.
1:08And in spite of their principle of radical inclusion,
1:12the desert environment doesn't really seem exactly
1:15like the most hospitable place for people with mobility issues.
1:19Some of the installation seemed to not meet any kind of safety
1:23regulation, and in fact, throughout its history there's
1:27been concern run ins with law enforcement and the Bureau of Land Management.
1:31And with this type of massive growth every year.
1:36They've been constantly dealing with functional concerns,
1:39traffic safety concerns, problems with scale and accessibility.
1:43So how has this event continued on
1:47for so long and why is it growing so fast
1:50and how did it go from this to this?




How Burning Man Became Uncool | RealClearPolitics

By Ben Shapiro


These principles construct a paganistic morality built around a bevy of mutually exclusive notions. For example, Burning Man is about "radical inclusion... No prerequisites exist for participation in our community." But Burning Man is also "devoted to acts of gift giving." Unfortunately, without some form of mutuality, giving alone cannot form the basis of a functioning society, even temporarily. All of which means that Burning Man features social pressure to ostracize free-riders -- a tragic violation of the radical inclusion principle.

Burning Man values "radical self-expression," which cannot be defined by anyone other "than the individual or a collaborating group." But such radical self-expression quickly comes into conflict with Burning Man's call for "civic responsibility," which surely encroaches on the unlimited right to self-expression. Burning Man also values "immediacy," which it calls "the most important touchstone of value in our culture." But Burning Man also calls for the community to "clean up after ourselves," which runs directly counter to the premise of immediacy.

All of this would be sheer countercultural nonsense, except for one perverse fact: The counterculture has now become the culture. This accounts for the fact that Burning Man now seems tired and played out, less transgressive than wearied. The age of Burning Man attendees has increased over the past decade (average age in 2013 was 32, compared to 37 just nine years later); so has the average income (in 2006, 14% of Burners listed their personal income at above $100,000, compared to 27.4% by 2016). Influencers now show up at Burning Man to sell Popeye's Spicy Chicken; Elon Musk, Paris Hilton and Mark Zuckerberg have shown up.

And herein lies the problem for the broader American culture. Our elite class used to be inculcated in the same set of baseline values as "normal" Americans: John D. Rockefeller was a regular churchgoer; so was Cornelius Vanderbilt. Today, our elites participate in drug-fueled binges in the desert -- or at least wish to appear as though they do. Throughout the 1930s, even the poorest Americans aspired to dress well, wearing suits even on the breadlines. Today, even the richest Americans dress as though they shop at Salvation Army.

When elites promulgate countercultural garbage that eats at the roots of fundamental societal institutions, societal bonds dissolve. Ironically, that dissolution occurs first at the lowest rungs of the income ladder: As Charles Murray points out, "The belief that being a good American involved behaving in certain kinds of ways, and that the nation itself relied upon a certain kind of people in order to succeed, had begun to fade and has not revived." In fact, those who live out lives of good decision-making are, all too often, embarrassed of their good choices. To promote those choices might seem "judgmental."

That is the real tragedy of Burning Man: its mainstreaming. Every society has its oddball behaviors. Only sick societies incentivize their imitation.

12 Infamous works of the flesh by Paul Ellis:
1. Adam eats the forbidden fruit (Gen 3:6). The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil was not a bad tree; God doesn’t do bad trees (Gen 1:31). Everything in the world was good so the serpent had to tempt Eve with something that was “good and pleasing” (Gen 3:6). Compared to the manifest works of the flesh in Galatians 5, eating a piece of fruit might not seem that big a deal. But I’d say the consequences of this were fairly substantial, wouldn’t you?
2. Abraham sleeps with the maid (Gen 16). He knew God had promised him a son but God was taking too long. Yet another work of the flesh that we’re still paying for.
3. Moses defends a Hebrew slave (Ex 2:12). Prince Moses, “mighty in words and deeds” (Acts 7:22), perhaps saw himself as a deliverer of Israel. 40 years growing old in obscurity killed off that idea.
4. The Israelites don’t want to enter the Promised Land, then want to (Num 14). It’s perfectly natural to be afraid of hostile giants – especially if you’ve got small children. But it meant missing an opportunity to see God do mighty exploits. It also meant dying in the wilderness.
5. Saul saves the best for God (1 Sam 15:15). God wanted the Amalekites dead, down to the last donkey. Saul had a better idea. Bye bye House of Saul.
6. David counts his soldiers (1 Chr 21). 70,000 men died as a result. So much for your army David.
7. Elijah runs like a chicken (1 Kgs 19). A scary lady said some nasty things, Elijah got spooked and not even God could lift him out of his funk. It cost Elijah his ministry.
8. James and John want to toast the Samaritans (Luk 9:54). “Well Elijah did it and he didn’t get in trouble.” That was Elijah fellas; Jesus has a different spirit.
9. Peter tries to save Jesus’ life (Mt 16:22). For this Peter receives the most famous rebuke in the Bible (Mt 16:23). And then he does it again (Jn 18:10)! Nice one Peter. You could’ve ruined everything.
10. Saul the Pharisee persecutes Christians. Saul was so zealous for God that he was instrumental in the jailing and killing of Christians (Acts 26:10). For this he later calls himself Chief of Sinners.
11. The Judaizers preach just a little bit of law (Acts 15:1). “All we’re asking for is a snip to the tip.” No wonder the men of Antioch were glad when James said “No” (Acts 15:31).
12. Peter draws back from the Gentiles so as not to offend (Ga 2:11). This time it’s not Jesus but Paul who gets in his face telling him he’s “clearly wrong” – not misguided, not confused, but “I’m putting this in the Bible so everyone knows about it,” wrong. Ouch.
What is the common thread running through these good and bad deeds done by godly and ungodly people? Well I gave you a pretty big hint at the top of this post: In each case the person involved did what seemed right to them at the time. This is the hallmark of flesh-based living. It is walking by sight.
