not taste death, till they see the Son of Man coming in His Kingdom.’
And after six days, Jesus taketh unto Him Peter and James,
and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart:
and He was transfigured before them. And His Face did shine as the sun:
and His garments became white as snow.”
Matthew 16:28; 17:1-2
“ ‘And He said to them: Amen I say to you, that there are some of them
that stand here, who shall not taste death, till they see the Kingdom of God
coming in power.’ And after six days, Jesus taketh with Him Peter and James
and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves,
and was transfigured before them. And His garments became shining and
exceeding white as snow, so as no fuller upon Earth can make white.”
Mark 8:39; 9:1-2
The Wright brothers — and we are sorry to inform you, Virginia, but, yes, they too were masons — enabled, through their invention, to give mankind wings as we had never known before.
Before we go any further with our observations, we want to make it abundantly clear again that we are not against “science” or “progress.” What we are against is people being blinded by the religion of “scientism.” We all need to comprehend how “progress” can lead us into dark alleyways that are, unfortunately, and in reality, detrimental to one’s soul.
In life — and before we became sindonologists — we were deeply associated with the aerospace industry. With great pride, we made significant contributions to the space station and many U.S. Air Force defense/attack systems.
The reason we even mention this is so that no one can accuse us of being blind to the benefits of aviation. We are well aware and have made a few minor ones of our own. (Plus, we are grateful to be able to fly to Italy rather than sail!)
That is not the point.
The real point is how easy it is to be blinded by pride when taking part in these incredible “achievements” of mankind.
And, as humans, we can think, “we are not harming anyone and, instead, contributing to the betterment of mankind.”
Yes and no.
Therein lies the problem.
It was to the betterment of the allies that the United States developed the bomb before the obvious evil empire of the “third reich” (third kingdom in German!) did. It was to the betterment of the soldiers who would have had to invade Japan that the atomic device was used over the city of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945.
But it was NOT to the betterment of the city’s innocent people — many of whom were not only children and underage, but the elderly and infirm who were making no contributions to Japan’s war effort. After all, no matter how many military targets one could point to in order to justify the bombing of Hiroshima, there are just as many civilian areas that should never be targets. This fact alone declares the immoral and just plain wrong bombing of any city! (Isn’t it interesting that this act of horrific war has its origins in the immediate beginnings of flight?!)
As an example, the famous photo of the skeletal building at ground zero in Hiroshima is taken from the remains of the hypocenter which, on that fateful day, was a hospital!
Would we, as Americans, tolerate the nuclear bombing of Washington, D.C. just because the Pentagon is in the general vicinity?
Or how about Andrews Air Force Base — does that justify taking out the entire Washington-Baltimore area to ensure this command center for presidential flights is obliterated?
We, in our own consciences and morals, know the answer is “no”!
Yet, in the evil of World War II — a war predicted by the Virgin at Fatima — the ends, according to many, justified the means.
In this justification, it is not an accident in the Great Spiritual Battle that the evil one unleashed two “holocausts”: the well-known and documented Holocaust (when will the idiots stop denying the reality of this?) against 6 million Jewish men, women and children, as well as millions of others who got in the way of the antichrist hitler and his war machine.
But it is the “other” holocaust (burnt offering in Hebrew!) that we want to focus on. For it is in this holocaust that the evil one not only received the offering of souls who were not prepared to die on that day, but it was an event in which the devil does what he can only do in his limited power: mimic the Creator and God’s infinite power, majesty and might!
No reasoning person would argue that the Transfiguration of Christ took place exactly on the 6th of August. Only the Lord and those who witnessed the event know the true calendar date.
The key issue is that this is the date that the Church has bound to celebrate the Feast of the Transfiguration! And what the Vicar of Christ binds on Earth is bound in Heaven as well!
There is no one who is more aware of this Truth than the evil one himself.
As a point of reference, we find it interesting that the Medjugorje visionaries state that the Virgin told them Her birthday is really August 5 — the Feast of Our Lady of the Snows! While we don’t doubt this, the point we are making is that the Church celebrates September 8th as the Nativity of Our Lady.
The fact that the Church could be wrong is not what is in question. The feast of Mary’s birth is not bound on August 5th, but September 8th!
This is why we began this article by quoting from the Scriptures. Only Matthew and Mark make reference to the Lord’s Transfiguration before Peter, James and John. However, it is imperative that we remember that the Scriptures were not written with chapter and verse breaks! That is a medieval addition. An important one at that since it certainly aids a reader in one’s ability to mark and reference the enormous amount of material the Bible has to offer.
But it can also be a detriment.
In the verses we have quoted, we believe it has not helped most people’s comprehension (especially protest-ants!) because these breaks can cause false separations. The verses we have quoted are a perfect example.
For just before the documenting of the Lord’s Transfiguration, Jesus specifically speaks of “some of them that stand here, that shall not taste death.” We believe this a direct reference to someone who is standing in the crowd of those who are listening to our Lord’s revelations more than 1,970 years ago.
Is there anyone who does not comprehend that Jesus’ Mother followed Him everywhere He went? Who, then, is among “them that stand here”?
It is none other, of course, then the Virgin Herself!
In this verse then, we believe Jesus is referring to His Mother’s forthcoming Assumption. (And there, for you biblical idiots, is the scriptural reference to this great dogma!)
For Mary did “not taste death.”
As the Gospel informs us in regard to so many things revealed to Her about and by Her Son, Mary “kept all these words, pondering them in Her heart” Luke 2:19; and, again, “His Mother kept all these words in Her heart” Luke 2:51.
The best part about God is how easy it is for Him to fool those who think they are “wise”! Whether anyone accepts our interpretation or not does not matter. Only a fool would think that they know everything that Mary was told by God as She “pondered” His “words in Her heart”!
In this regard, we believe that when Mary saw Her glorified Son — shining brighter than the sun after His Resurrection — in the middle of the night, before even Mary Magdalene (as many of the visionaries of the Church have spoken of regarding Jesus’ true first appearance to His Mother at 3:00 a.m.) our Queen saw Her Child coming in His Kingdom! She, as Peter, James and John did, saw the Transfigured Christ: Jesus as the Sun of Justice!
The evil one hates the Sun of Justice! For it is the Sun of Justice who, at His command, had St. Michael cast out the devil and his fallen angels from Heaven for their rejection of the Woman Clothed With the Sun. The Woman Mary, who is clothed in the brilliance of Her transfigured Child; a Child who loves to hide Himself within His Mother’s love, as He proved by allowing Himself — He whom the whole world cannot contain — to be contained within Her Womb!
In this battle between the Woman Clothed With the Sun and the great red dragon, the evil one cannot create; he can only mimic the Lord — the Son of Mary!
When Peter, James and John saw Jesus transfigured before them, He not only shined brighter than the sun, but the three were not harmed by the rays of light as the Son of God was “exalted” and “glorified” before them!
But when the people of Hiroshima saw two suns in the sky on the morning of the Feast of the Transfiguration in 1945 — one natural and one manmade — they, instead, experienced a devastating metamorphosis: a “degeneration” of their tissue. The secondary sun they saw in the sky — unlike Peter, James and John — caused the majority of them to be vaporized! Not a piece of hair, flesh, bone, blood, or clothing remained of the victims. Just one piece of temporal evidence remained: their shadows were visible, cast upon the objects around where they once were!
In the incredible scientific reality of the nuclear age, the people who were vaporized during the first atomic destruction of a city became the evidence for a new phenomenon mankind would call “flash photolysis” — a “chemical decomposition induced by radiant energy, especially light.” While the victims were obliterated by the energy of the nuclear blast, the rest of the area around their bodies was flooded with same intense light; but their bodies created a blockage causing shadows to remain where they took their last breath.
Ironically, and because the evil one can only mimic the Lord, the victims of Hiroshima experienced a similar event in their deaths as to the very cause of the Image we see today on the Shroud of Turin. Only instead of death, the flash photolysis seen today on the burial cloth of Jesus is a result of the Resurrection of the Body of Christ!
Without going into deep scientific details regarding this (on August 8th, Japanese scientists knew Hiroshima was the victim of a nuclear device because X-ray film had been exposed at the hospital!), the key to our discussion is the fact that the very nuclear radiance that caused Jesus to shine like the sun before His Apostles and displayed again in the intense but minute radiation used to Resurrect His human form were devastatingly mimicked by the evil one.
Not in a creative way or through the devil’s own power, but in the most destructive capability he inspired mankind to ever know! As the “father” of the bomb, Robert Oppenheimer, said, quoting the false god vishnu, when the first device was set off on
July 16, 1945, “I am become death, the destroyer of worlds!”
In his conscience, in his soul, Oppenheimer knew what he had unleashed.
For that is all the evil one is capable of: to inspire mankind into destruction; for the devil cannot and will never be able to create. And his whole course of action is to try to annihilate that which he hates most after God and the Queen of Angels: mankind, the creation of the Lord and the very being that has the capability by following Jesus to become sons of God and inherit that which the evil one and his followers lost.
In this world of confusion and chaos, we, as human beings, have always seen the power of flight as an incredible accomplishment. A “progress” to point with humanistic pride — the deadliest of sins.
But as icarus, who, in Greek mythology, flew too close to the sun causing his wings to melt, we, in our prideful arrogance, how flown too close to the evil one’s inspirations. We have turned the gift of flight into the wings of death.
As a prime example, General Curtis Lemay, the man who formed and once headed the Strategic Air Command (SAC), was the one who conceived the “doomsday” battle plan for America. Interestingly, previously, he was also the man who was behind the complete fire-bombing of Tokyo during the war. An event observers claim “desensitized” him to mass destruction. (Did the Lord reward Lemay for this destruction when the general met the Just Judge?)
It is said that Lemay’s plan to ensure complete defeat of any of our nation’s potential enemies involved nuclear devices with 500 times the capability of the bomb which was dropped on Hiroshima. The Air Force general did not conceive of a battle plan that would strike the heart of any enemy city just one time. Lemay ensured that “overkill” became the name of the game by planning a sequence of 12 bombing raids, each with nuclear devices, upon civilian targets.
In fact, Air Force pilots who practiced the battle plan 24/7 were concerned that those who followed the first bomber in would not be able to identify their target as the atomic weapon would have completely destroyed and made unrecognizable any city or target it was dropped upon!
If we think the holocaust of Hiroshima and the false “peace” we are living in with the end of the Cold War has helped us learn our lesson as a species, we need to think again. It is imperative we comprehend that the evil one is inspiring us to destroy not only our enemies, but ourselves — the devil’s ultimate goal.
The “president” of Iran, as the islamic “republic” moves forward in its quest to become a member of the nuclear “club,” has stated that it does not matter if his nation is obliterated in an atomic exchange. Victory for him is to ensure the annihilation of the Jewish state. As long as Israel is completely wiped off the face of the Earth, this “cleric” of the devil has stated that victory is achieved despite the end of his nation! How does he believe so? Khameni gloats in the fact that after a nuclear exchange with Israel, he estimates there will still be half-billion moslems left in the world to repopulate the Holy Land!
Idiots like him do not even seem to comprehend nor be concerned that by striking Israel with nuclear weapons they will make the Holy Land uninhabitable for thousands, if not millions, of years!
This is truly the deception of the evil one.
A fallen angel who, we believe, has inspired mankind to invent nuclear weapons, not for the glory of God, the well-being of our species, or a deterrent to war; but, in reality, for the complete destruction and annihilation of mankind.
The glory of man in his “progress”!
And we have been given the inspiration for the wings of death to deliver these weapons of mass destruction 100 years ago.
Of course, God will not permit this annihilation — although He can and does permit war, even nuclear, as a chastisement for sin.
As a prideful species, we can continue to believe that the wings of an eagle which we have mimicked to give us flight around the globe are a sign of mankind’s “progress.”
Or, we can begin to understand that these wings have been more a sign of death and destruction.
No matter how much “good” we have seen since the invention of machines that gave us flight, we have seen that much more in evil.
Jesus did not give us aircraft as a “blessing” or gift — to prove this statement, we only need think this simple straightforward thought: would He not have told His Apostles, “Look, I wish to show you how to fly in an aluminum tube!”
No. Flight, dare we say, is an inspiration to mankind that has been used to rain destruction down upon others. Even in the attack on the World Trade Center, it was through evil men using wings of death that not only destroyed the Towers of Babylon, but murdered thousands of innocent people, who like those in Hiroshima, were unprepared to die that day.
Can we turn back the clock or do we advocate to do so and return to a time when mankind could not take to the air?
Of course not. That is not the point of our discussion. The point is that what we, as human beings, think of as “blessings,” we have, instead, finely developed into a curse that deepens our alienation from God. It even brings people — like Lemay or Khameni — into a thought process that the death of innocents is legitimate as long as the end justifies the proverbial means.
But the Lord does not give nor approve of such destruction.
Instead, He gave His Mother the gift of “not tasting death” through Her Assumption into Heaven on the wings of Angels — not unflappable wings of steel.
To His Apostles, He gave the gift of seeing His true glory during His Transfiguration — not the release of destructive atoms.
To mankind, He gave us all the proof, knowledge and evidence of His Glorious Resurrection through the Image He has left us on the Shroud of Turin — not the false reading of atomic decay through the inexact and incorrect “technique” of carbon 14 dating. For the proof of this, one only need recognize that the inventor of carbon dating was also a member of the team that gave us the atomic bomb!
The enemy of mankind has tried to pervert each and every one of these gifts: the Transfiguration of Christ; the Assumption of Mary, and the proof of not only the Lord’s but mankind’s ultimate Resurrection as evidenced on the Shroud of Turin.
The enemy of mankind has succeeded and blind-sided us in every one.
The evil one has brought us the “gift” of death through the wings of destruction which masonic mankind invented to give us powered lift.
The evil one has sowed doubt and confusion regarding the Assumption of Mary Body and Soul into Heaven.
The evil one has turned the world’s attention away from the Glory of Christ as witnessed on Mount Tabor by the Apostles — ensuring the first atomic destruction of a city marks the same calendar date as the Feast of the Transfiguration.
The evil one has brought us the “gift” of mass destruction in the knowledge and explosion of nuclear devices — a destruction that mimics the life-giving power of radiation displayed in the flash photolysis of Resurrection.
Mankind has, once again, rejected the Miracles of Christ and accepted and embraced the destructive inspirations of our mortal enemy.
We, as a spiritual entity, whose home is not this planet but destined for Eternity — whether in Heaven or hell — have not progressed as a result of mechanical wings.
We have fallen, instead, deeper into the abyss of a hole made for us by our enemy.
Transfiguration: from the Latin which means “beyond” a “figure.” A “radical” change of a “figure” in “appearance.” Secondary meaning: “to exalt; glorify.” A “metamorphosis.”
Metamorphosis: “a transformation as by a supernatural means.” Secondary meaning: “transformation of human tissue, especially a degeneration.”
We can only beg the Lord for an end to the “degeneration” of His creation; and, instead, our “transformation by a supernatural means” into the embrace of the One who defeated death and held captivity captive.
And may His Mother, who did “not taste death,” deliver us from that which we brought upon ourselves by continuing to turn the Garden of God into the lies of “progress” that we “shall be as gods, knowing good and evil” (Genesis 3:5) — a lie which the serpent has fed human egos from the beginning.

a bomb from a plane occurred in the city dedicated to
Our Lady Queen of the Angels — Los Angeles!
over Hiroshima on the
Feast of the Transfiguration.
As the co-pilot of the bomber exclaimed looking at this scene, ‘My God, what have we done?!’
The owner of the timepiece did not survive, dying the next day from radiation burns.
