💢 "The argumentation begins with the equation of Jesus and Lucifer based on biblical metaphors: In Revelation 22:16, Jesus refers to himself as the morning star, while Isaiah 14:12 mentions the morning star that fell from heaven, which is traditionally identified with 'Lucifer.' Building on this, a chain of references unfolds about the angel of the abyss, Abaddon, from Revelation 9:11. This reference is linked through the addition of the 45th and 47th US presidencies with numerical games and anchored in the square, basin-like design of the 9/11 memorial as a phenomenon of the abyss. 💢 A central role is played by 'Elvis Presley.' The syllable 'El' in his name refers to angelic designations like Elohim, while his love for capes and his musical worship are interpreted as a precursor to the abyss angel. Quite clear visual evidence is provided by comparisons between Elvis, ancient Roman sarcophagi, statues from the 3rd century BC, and the Statue of Liberty, whose broken chain resembles a Lucifer statue from 1848 and symbolizes liberation from the abyss. Moreover, identical scars appear on the hands of 'Don El' and Elvis, which are interpreted as mimicked stigmata - the wounds of Christ - corresponding to the biblical warning about the Antichrist, who disguises himself as an angel of light and deceives even the elect with false signs. 💢 Finally, the evidence extends to historiography. The thousand years of the Middle Ages, the so-called 'Dark Ages,' represent the time when Lucifer was imprisoned in the dark abyss. His subsequent release manifests in the historical 'Dark Day' of 1780, when the sky darkened, and is directly related to the geographical formation of the 'Purgatory Chasm.' The accumulation of these indications calls for vigilance and discernment in a time of great seduction." 🍿👇🏻 #Jesus #Luzifer #ElvisPresley (translated)
