Frogs, the False Prophet, and the Egyptian Mysteries

Today we will be exploring the points of contact between ancient Egyptian sacred science and the imagery found in the Bible. Egypt preserved a vast symbolic system of light, creation, and cosmic order, and some of these themes appear in Scripture; sometimes in parallel, sometimes in deliberate contrast. But as we examine these connections, it is important to remember that the Bible repeatedly warns God’s people not to “go whoring after Egypt,” a phrase used by the prophets to describe the temptation to mix the worship of Israel’s God with the spiritual systems of Egypt. The biblical authors treat Egypt as both a place of historical bondage and a symbol of religious seduction, a world of powerful images and wisdom that must not replace or reshape the revelation given by God. With that boundary in place, we can trace where Egyptian cosmology intersects with biblical language, and where Scripture draws its sharpest distinctions.

The biblical image of frogs, especially in Revelation, takes on a sharper meaning when read alongside the Hermopolitan cosmology of ancient Egypt. In Revelation 16, the three unclean spirits “like frogs” emerge from the mouths of the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet. These frog-spirits represent deceptive, chaotic influences rising from the deep places of spiritual disorder just before the final unveiling of Christ. In the Hermopolitan system, frogs are also creatures of the threshold. The Ogdoad, four male serpent deities and four female frog deities, arise from the mixture of primordial waters and earth before the sun is born. They embody night, obscurity, secrecy, and the hidden state prior to manifestation. In both systems, frogs appear at decisive transitional moments where the boundary between darkness and revelation becomes thin. The difference is one of direction: in Egyptian sacred science, the frog-beings precede and assist cosmic creation; in Revelation, their spiritual counterparts precede and attempt to resist divine re-creation. The symmetry suggests that John is not merely using frogs as a random impurity symbol, but as a deliberate reversal of ancient cosmogonic imagery. What once signified the emergence of the first light is now recast as the last convulsion of darkness.

The Egyptian sun-god Ra was the earliest major solar deity of the Nile world, the revealer of light, order, and kingship. As Egyptian religion evolved, Ra was merged with Amun of Thebes to form Amun-Ra, the hidden god who manifests as the sun. When the Greeks entered Egypt, they identified Amun-Ra with their own Zeus, and the Romans later absorbed this same figure as Jupiter-Ammon. The ram-horned images of Jupiter-Ammon found across the empire are the Roman continuation of the Theban Amun cult. From there, the solar throne passed into the imperial mystery-religion of Sol Invictus, the “Unconquered Sun,” formally established in Rome and tied to imperial power, divine kingship, and the cyclical triumph of light.

This entire solar chain; Ra, Amun-Ra, Jupiter-Ammon, Sol Invictus; is a lineage of political religion rooted in nature worship, kingship ideology, and cosmological speculation. None of it is Christ. The biblical witness sharply distinguishes the God of Israel from the gods of Egypt; the prophets warn repeatedly against returning to Egypt or adopting its spiritual systems. Ezekiel condemns those who “prostitute themselves with the Egyptians” because Egypt symbolizes self-reliance, idolatry, and the seduction of alternative wisdom. In Revelation, Egypt stands as a type of the old order built on human power and hidden mysteries, opposed to the Lamb.

Christ is not a solar deity; He does not rise from primordial waters, does not manifest through cycles of nature, and is not enthroned by empires. His light is moral, personal, and revelatory, not cosmological. He does not emerge from the Ogdoad, the cosmic egg, Jupiter’s pantheon, or the mysteries of Sol. The biblical authors draw a deliberate boundary: do not confuse the created sun with the Creator who made it. The sun can symbolize God’s goodness, but it is not God.

For this reason, Christ warns His people not to merge themselves with Egypt; its deities, its occult wisdom, its imagined intermediaries between heaven and earth. The entire solar lineage from Ra to Sol Invictus belongs to the world of created lights and political powers, not to the incarnate Word whose kingdom is not of this world.

In later esoteric interpretations, Horus is often presented as an Egyptian counterpart to Christ, not because the two figures share the same identity, but because they occupy a similar symbolic position in their respective mythic structures. Horus is the reborn light, the avenging son, the one who rises after the powers of darkness have attempted to destroy the divine order. In the Theban theology described earlier, the emergence of Horus through the womb of Mut (Egyptian cosmic Mother), energized by Ptah’s fire and Amun’s seed,(Amun was originally depicted as a serpent)produces a spiritualized child of light. This is why some texts refer to him as a Horus-Lucifer, in the Christian sense of the adversary, the luminous child who appears with the dawn. The term Lucifer simply means the rising star, the one who bears light into the world, and Horus fits that ancient cosmological role perfectly.

Because Christ is described in the New Testament as the true light, the morning star, and the Son who reveals the Father, later writers seeking universal patterns sometimes drew parallels between Christ and Horus. But these parallels exist only at the level of symbolic roles, not at the level of divine identity. Horus-Lucifer is the archetype of light emerging from the primordial matrix, the sun-child restored after being bound or hidden by Seth. Christ, by contrast, is not a child of cosmic forces; He is not birthed by gods or elements; He is not the product of the world but its Creator. The Egyptian narrative revolves around cycles of light and darkness, death and rebirth, the sun sinking into the waters and rising again. The biblical narrative centers on a once-for-all incarnation, not a solar cycle or a cosmic rebirth.

Ironically, the very title applied to Horus in these ancient systems, the luminous one, becomes the title that Scripture later strips from all cosmic powers and locates exclusively in Christ. The morning star is reclaimed, purified, and reassigned. In the Egyptian drama, Horus-Lucifer rises because he is the child of the divine womb and the heir of the solar throne. In Christian faith, the light does not rise from the world but enters it from beyond, and the morning star is not a symbol of a cosmic cycle but a revelation of Christ who does not belong to the realm of the Ogdoad, the sun cults, or the bound-and-released light of Egyptian sacred science. Thus Horus can be seen as an Egyptian foreshadowing of the archetypal light-bringer, but the Christian claim is that Christ is the true light who exposes and surpasses all mythic cycles, separating Himself from every form of Luciferian solar theology rooted in Egypt.

Khonsu is presented as a central figure in Theban theology, not just as the moon-god in the simple mythological sense, but as a spiritual force governing renewal, release, and the rebirth of divine light. His symbols include a collection of scepters tied together; meaning that Khonsu embodies many powers at once; yet he lacks the wadj, the sign of “opening.” That omission shows that Khonsu cannot unfold or expand spiritual reality on his own; only Thoth of Khemenu, the revealer of divine speech and cosmic knowledge, can bring about true opening. Khonsu prepares the field, but Thoth discloses it.

The crown worn by Khonsu; a solar disk resting in a crescent; captures the union of the sun and the moon. The crescent cradles the disk the way the new moon holds the invisible sun during eclipse. This is why Khonsu is consistently associated with threshold moments: eclipse, rebirth, transition, and the awakening of hidden light.

Khonsu also cannot be separated from Osiris in the phase of Osiris’s rebirth. Osiris reborn is divine life perfected and reconstituted, and Khonsu functions as the force enabling this rebirth.

The lotus, the flower that opens at dawn and closes at dusk, a symbol of cyclical rebirth. In Egyptian sacred science the lotus is the throne of the newborn sun; in the Theban system, Nefertum is that first emergence of dawn-light.

This lotus symbolism is important, because although it flows through Egyptian cosmology without interruption, it does not carry over meaningfully into Christian sacred architecture. While some church capitals and decorative elements, especially in Byzantine and Coptic contexts, bear traces of lotus-like or water-flower forms, these motifs are inherited indirectly from Greco-Roman ornament and stripped of their original theological content. The Christian tradition has no symbolic use for the lotus. It replaces Egyptian images of cyclic rebirth with lilies, roses, vines, and other symbols grounded in biblical revelation rather than in Egyptian cosmogenesis. This contrast matters: in Thebes, the lotus is the cradle of the sun-child; in the church, Christ is not born from creation but enters creation from beyond it.

Returning to the Theban theology, the text explains that Thoth of Khemenu, animated by Isis, creates Mut (the Egyptian cosmic mother). This means that divine wisdom, moved by "divine" soul-power, generates the cosmic womb. When Mut receives the soul of Horus, offered by Khonsu, she becomes Hathor, the refined fusion of lunar and solar principles, the softened and exalted aspect of Sekhmet.

Sekhmet precipitates the power of Horus downward, bringing it into the world; Hathor lifts and sublimates it. Through these complementary feminine forces, the soul of Horus becomes capable of reconciling Seth and Horus in beauty rather than conflict. This reconciliation of cosmic dualities; order and disruption, structure and force; is symbolized by the twin bulrushes before Ptah’s temple in Memphis.

This is NOT Christ! Christ is NOT a wafer made with human hands!

Every spiritual revelation, in this Egyptian system, aims to liberate the divine Word; not Christ; and to free the inner fire from its imprisonment in matter. The “living Fire” is the divine spark within humanity, believed to be trapped by physical incarnation. Mythic cycles dramatize how this inner light can be awakened, purified, and released. The path is presented to all, but the means depend on mastering the “world of causes,” the invisible forces behind visible forms. To know these causes is to possess spiritual power.

This release; the freeing of the “divine Word” or spiritual fire; is the heart of Egyptian initiation. And in biblical perspective, this entire system stands as a rival cosmology to the God of of the Bible, presenting a counterfeit path of light, a counterfeit divine son, and a counterfeit feminine principle. Where the God of Israel reveals Himself through His Word and His Spirit, the Egyptian mysteries offer an alternative structure of wombs, cycles, forces, and ascending light. The prophets warn against returning to Egypt because its spiritual science competes directly with the revelation given to Israel.

Yesterday we explored how, in Scripture, the divine feminine principle of the God of the Christian Bible; symbolized through the Shekinah, Wisdom, Zion, the Daughter of Jerusalem, and ultimately the Woman in Revelation; must be reunited with the male divine principle, the Tree of Life, the Word, and Christ. The woman in Revelation is the purified vessel who carries the seed of Yahweh, and the opposing forces seek to destroy her. The dragon waits to devour the Christ-child before He reaches the throne of God, because the restoration of heaven and earth depends on that union of divine masculine and feminine, the return of the Word to His rightful place, and the unveiling of the completed image of God in creation.

This biblical drama stands in direct contrast to the Egyptian cycles of light and rebirth. The Egyptian narrative presents a continual recycling of divine forces; Scripture presents a once-for-all revelation in Christ. And in our time, the biblical warning remains relevant. There are powers in the world; spiritual and political; that seek either to preserve the status quo of the fallen order or to introduce their own counterfeit “christ,” an imitation light meant to distract from the true return of the Messiah. The deception grows more subtle as the age turns, and vigilance becomes essential. For those who follow the God of the Bible, discernment is required to distinguish between the eternal Word who comes from above and the many rising lights that come from the earth, from Egypt, or from human systems seeking to imitate His glory.

When we follow this stream through the historical record, the connections become even more revealing. In Kircher’s own writings, translated from Latin, he addresses Ferdinand III as “Caesar,” a title loaded with imperial symbolism. Ferdinand was not only Holy Roman Emperor but also connected to the military-religious orders of his time, including the German Order of Knights, commonly called the Teutonic Knights. Kircher himself held a respected advisory position and dealt with men tied to this order. The Teutonic Knights later intersected historically with the movements that shaped the Knights Templar, and though they were distinct orders, their cultural and esoteric crosscurrents influenced one another for centuries.

The Templars were later accused of worshiping an entity called Baphomet, a name that scholars connect either to the goat-god of Mendes in Egypt or to a syncretic figure combining masculine and feminine principles, human and animal, light and shadow. Whether the charges were literal or symbolic, the imagery is significant: the goat of Mendes was associated with fertility, inversion, and forbidden knowledge. And in Scripture, the goat becomes one of the stark dividing symbols. The prophet Daniel sees goats in his visions of empires and spiritual powers. Christ Himself says that at His return He will place the sheep on His right and the goats on His left, the sheep representing the faithful and the goats representing those aligned with deception and rebellion. That the medieval knightly orders became associated; fairly or unfairly; with goat symbolism once tied to Egyptian occultism is a detail that fits disturbingly well into the ancient conflict described in the Bible.

All of this contributes to the broader pattern we have been tracing. Egypt developed a solar theology centered on divine kings, cosmic wombs, sacred unions, and the ascent of the inner fire. Babylon reorganized the same spiritual architecture into imperial religion. Rome inherited it, first as empire, then as ecclesiastical system, integrating Egyptian symbols, Babylonian concepts, and Greco-Roman philosophy under a Christian exterior. Kircher, Levi, and Chiniquy all observed how Rome preserved these forms: the obelisk, the sun disk, the vesica piscis, Marian imagery drawn from Isis, the throne echoing the solar seat of ancient mystery cults, and repurposed statues of Jupiter and Apollo presented under Christian names.

Against this backdrop, the Scriptures warn that nothing is to be added or taken away from the revelation God gave once for all time. Yet over the centuries, doctrines emerged that cannot be found in the Bible: penance, purgatory, Marian dogmas, papal supremacy, indulgences, and the idea of a human throne within God’s church. None of these appeared in the apostolic era. Even the idea of apostolic succession was originally defined by Eusebius as the continuation of apostolic teaching, not an unbroken chain of office holders. And the schism between Hippolytus and Callistus; two men claiming the papacy at the same time; undermines any claim to a clean line back to Peter. The break was real, and later history attempted to cover it over.

Meanwhile, the Bible points to a very different story. The prophetic narrative begins with the serpent attacking the woman and the promised seed in Eden. It moves through Egypt, where the people carrying the promise are enslaved and their sons threatened. It continues through Babylon, where the holy identity of God’s people is targeted. It reaches Rome, where the Messiah is crucified under the authority of a political-religious empire. In Revelation, the same forces appear again, now global and final. The woman carries the seed of Yahweh, the dragon seeks to devour the Christ-child, and the restoration of heaven and earth depends on the union of God’s true masculine and feminine principles: the Word and the Spirit, the Bride and the Lamb.

This is the true pattern, not the counterfeit wombs, divine sons, goat-formed spirits, or solar thrones of the ancient mysteries. Today, as in every age, there are powers attempting either to preserve the fallen order or to bring forth their own counterfeit messiah before the true Christ returns. The deception grows more sophisticated as history approaches its climax. Discernment becomes essential, for the ancient symbols are not dead relics; they resurface in architecture, ritual, doctrine, and spiritual systems that echo Egypt, Babylon, and Rome. The Scriptures call us to vigilance, to test every spirit, and to cling to the revelation given once to the saints, unmixed and unaltered.

Eliphas Levi, himself once a Catholic cleric, later stated bluntly that Rome had become “the new Thebes,” inheriting the symbolism of Egyptian sacred science under Christian language.

The evidence of this symbolic inheritance is visible across Roman Catholic architecture and ritual. The monstrance displays the host inside a radiant sun-burst, uniting sun and moon imagery just as in the old solar cults. The ancient Egyptian obelisk stands directly in St. Peter’s Square, crowned not with Egyptian inscriptions but with a cross; yet the form itself remains an unmistakable solar monument. In Egypt, the earliest cross-form was a sun symbol. The ankh, their primary cross shape, represented the rising sun emerging from the horizon and the union of the solar god with the cosmic womb that generated his daily rebirth. Long before Christianity, the cross in Egypt was tied to solar power, divine vitality, and the cyclic renewal of the sun god. The layout of "Saint Peter's" square incorporates the vesica piscis, the ancient symbol of the womb or cosmic portal, the same geometric form used in fertility and divine-birth symbolism throughout antiquity.

Even the Chair of St. Peter features carvings of Heracles; who is associated with the Greco-Roman solar deity Apollo; and the famous statue of Peter, kissed and venerated by pilgrims, is widely believed to have begun its life as a statue of Jupiter before being repurposed and renamed. The nineteenth-century Catholic priest Charles Chiniquy testified at length that Rome preserved many of the symbols, forms, and ritual structures of the old gods, simply clothing them in Christian terminology in order, as he claimed, “to better deceive the world.”

This is not a small claim. It suggests a conscious absorption of ancient solar theology into Christian appearance; a merging of Theban and Roman symbolism under ecclesiastical authority. The language, forms, architecture, and ceremonial objects all echo what we have been tracing: a continuity of Egyptian sacred science carried forward into Roman religious power, masked by Christian vocabulary but retaining the shape of the older mysteries.

If we follow this thread into prophecy, the picture becomes clearer. Revelation portrays a cosmic conflict in which the woman; symbol of the purified vessel (soul) of God, the true covenantal feminine principle; is hunted by the dragon. She carries the seed of Yahweh, the Christ-child who is destined to rule all nations. The dragon’s goal is to devour the Child before He reaches the throne, because the enthronement of the true Messiah brings the restoration of heaven and earth and the final collapse of every counterfeit system.

This is why spiritual powers throughout history have attempted to imitate, replace, or distort the divine pattern. Egyptian sacred science offered a solar child; Horus; as the light-bearer. The Greco-Roman world offered Apollo. Later esoteric systems offered their own “light,” their own “word,” their own “mother,” their own ascending fire. These are not neutral mythologies; they are rival cosmologies competing with the revelation given to Israel and fulfilled in Christ.

Rome’s absorption of Egyptian symbolism, as we have traced through Kircher, Levi, Chiniquy, and the architectural and ritual evidence, reveals more than mere artistic borrowing. It suggests that the ancient solar theology; Horus, Nefertum, Amun-Ra, Jupiter-Ammon, Sol Invictus; never disappeared. It was simply dressed in new garments while its underlying structure remained intact. The obelisk in St. Peter’s Square, the sunburst monstrance,the luna, the solar shaped wafer, the vesica piscis, the zodiac, ritual consecrations of what should have been a simple remembrance meal, the repurposed images of Hercules, Apollo, and Jupiter; all bear witness to a system that blends biblical names with pre-biblical power.

Revelation warns precisely about this kind of fusion. Babylon is the place where the holy and the profane mix. Egypt is the archetype of counterfeit wisdom. Rome becomes the city drunk on the blood of the saints, both political and religious. The dragon gives authority to the beast, and the beast imitates the Lamb. Counterfeit motherhood produces counterfeit sons, counterfeit light, and counterfeit revelation.

This is why vigilance is required in the final days. Scripture warns that before the true Christ returns, a counterfeit christ will arise; one who will forge a one world religion and a one world government, demanding allegiance to a corrupt global order. In those days, the saints will be targeted and persecuted simply for refusing to bow to this system of deception. An attractive imitation of light. A messiah shaped by the old mysteries, empowered by the dragon, clothed in religious language yet rooted in Egypt, Babylon, and Rome.

The woman of Revelation flees because the opposition is subtle, intelligent, ancient, and persistent. The dragon does not fear the world’s religions; he fears the union of the true divine masculine and feminine in the God of Israel; the Word and the Spirit, the Seed and the Bride, the Lamb and the Woman, the Tree of Life and the purified vessel. When that union is restored, his dominion collapses.

We are living in the tension between the imitation and the reality. The world systems prepare their counterfeit christ while the true Christ approaches. The signs, symbols, architecture, and rituals of the ancient solar religion have resurfaced not as relics but as active components in a global spiritual drama.

The New Age Luciferian movement, The bull and serpent cult traditions, The United Nations, The World Economic Forum, The World Bank, The International Monetary Fund, The World Health Organization, The global interfaith movement, The Vatican’s diplomatic and ecumenical networks, Corporate globalism and multinational megacorporations, Trans-national banking systems, Silicon Valley tech monopolies shaping global communication, Hollywood and global media culture, International Freemasonry, Theosophy and the occult revival movements, Global intelligence alliances like the Five Eyes, The European Union’s supranational model, World-centered education initiatives and UNESCO systems, Transhumanist and technocratic organizations aiming for global integration.

All of these operate beyond national boundaries and participate in forming what many describe as a unified global paradigm; political, spiritual, economic, or ideological.

When we look at Daniel’s visions, at the early Christian writers, and at the unfolding pattern from Genesis to Revelation, a single current becomes visible. Daniel describes a sequence of empires ending in a fourth kingdom, different from all the others, iron-like, devouring and crushing. Historically, almost every traditional interpreter understood this fourth kingdom to be Rome. And Rome did not rise in a vacuum; it absorbed the wisdom of Egypt, the symbolism of Babylon, and the philosophy of Greece. By the time Christ appeared, the entire stream of ancient sacred science flowed into Roman political and religious power.

The early Christians knew this. Irenaeus, Hippolytus, Tertullian, and others openly said that Rome was the fourth kingdom in Daniel and the beastly system in Revelation. They saw it not simply as an empire but as the heir of Babylon’s spiritual logic. When John calls the great city “Babylon,” his contemporaries living under Roman rule understood precisely what he meant. The Roman system blended political authority with religious imitation, a mixture of state power and sacred ritual that reflected not the God of Israel but the older mysteries carried forward under new names.

The world is falling under deception, and those who secretly revere Osiris and preserve the ancient mystery religions are advancing their agenda across global systems. Scripture warns that a Nimrod-like antichrist will rise, offering a counterfeit peace that will ultimately collapse into tyranny, persecution, and genocide. The kings of the earth are even foretold to make war against Christ at His return. The prophetic writings declare that in the last days scoffers will mock, saying “Where is the promise of His coming?” People will become proud, sexually immoral, unbelieving, and deceived; calling evil good and good evil. Look at the state of the world and take seriously Christ’s call to have eyes that see and ears that hear. We are not merely flesh; we are spiritual beings, and the keys of the Kingdom open the unseen realm not through ritual or superstition, but through repentance, genuine faith, and obedience to the commandments of God as affirmed in the final prophetic book, the Revelation of Jesus Christ.

Repent and believe the Gospel of Christ.

Happy Sabbath.
