Jesus Reveals Why Thousands of Temples Face Mecca The Beast "Gathers to Himself All the Nations" In Contrast the True God Is Always Everywhere Jesus tells us the demonic world has a great city, in the desert wilderness on seven mountains, as its central location.  Thousands of mosques, ancient temples, hundreds of stone circles, and the pyramids face Mecca.  The temples are oriented towards the harlot city which in Revelation 18:2, Jesus says is “a haunt for every impure spirit.”  The “Prince of Demons” head spirit of Mecca cannot be the true God.  Listen to the warnings from Jesus.  The time is now short. Jesus warns us repeatedly to not worship Baal the Beast.  The warnings are both in the Old Testament and New Testament. The Prince of Demons—Baal--is in many ways different from the true God.  The true God is truth and Baal tells lies.  The true God is love and Baal is about submission.  One important trait of Baal is that he always requires his subjects to face him.  The true God is always everywhere.  There is no need to turn to a particular direction to pray to the true God.  Since Baal is not omnipresent, he must have his subjects face him to control them.  Baal is never satisfied.     He enlarges his appetite like Sheol, And he is like death, never satisfied. He also gathers to himself all the nations And collects to himself all the peoples. Habakkuk 2:5b (NASB)     Because the Druids worshiped Bel (Baal) they needed to be able to face his worldly realm location (Mecca) to pray to him. This is the same requirement Allah (Baal) requires of all Muslims today.  This prayer direction is called the “qibla.”  Because Northern Europe was often covered with clouds, particularly in the winter, stone circles were used to memorialize important celestial orientations. This would include the winter solstice, the summer solstice, the fires of Bel on Beltane, which was May 1, and the sunrise/sunset worship festival to Bel during Samhain on November 1. The Samhain sunrise on November 1 from all these stone circles always points to Mecca within only one or two degrees of error.  Depending on latitude, all stone circles are oriented such that Mecca is 112-116 degrees southeast.   The pyramids show the same orientation.  Egyptologists have paid little attention to the fact that the long (pointed) edge of the pyramid points exactly to the midpoint of the four cardinal directions. Thus, the midpoint of all the pyramids at Giza points to 135° southeast.  This is the exact qibla (135 degrees) of prayer direction from Giza in Egypt to Mecca.  The angle towards Mecca is perfect with zero degree of error for the three large pyramids and the three small pyramids at Giza. All the Giza pyramids have bases aligned perfectly north, south, east and west, but the Egyptian temple of Karnak at Luxor is oriented to the southeast by 28 degrees.  Why would the construction have been perfect for the huge pyramids at Giza but then off by nearly 28 degrees to the south with the construction of the much later Karnak Temple?   Egyptologists have been unable to explain the unusual angle of the Karnak temple complex. However, when it is compared to the qibla towards Mecca it is easy to understand. The azimuth angle of the entire Karnak temple complex is 118 degrees while the qibla from Luxor to Mecca is 117 degrees. The dragon tells lies so that the beast can be worshiped.  Jesus said (Revelation 22:18-19) that words would be added and words would be taken away.  Revelation was given in 95 AD.  Just some 525 years later (610-632) the twin warnings of Jesus came to pass in the Qur'an.  The Qur'an adds the specific words that give the revelation plagues, and the Qur'an takes away the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and our mediator.  No other religious book does both. Revelation gives a clear warning against worshiping the beast and its image.  Prayer to the Kaaba (the words added in the Qur'an) brings the plagues of Revelation, ("he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb").  Revelation 14:9-11 (ESV) And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand,  he also will drink the wine of God's wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.  And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.” Revelation 13:4 tells us the beast spirit will be worshipped. Revelation 13:4 (ESV) And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?”    Put your trust in Jesus Christ.  His words are always true.
