Scorpio

Bright Scorpio Arm'd,* 1.18 with poys'nous Tail prepares,

Mens Martial Minds, for Violence and Wars;

His Venom heats, and boyls their Bloods to Rage,

And Rapine spreads o're the unlucky Age.

Yet, when the Sun drives there, Men tear the Earth,

And cast their Seed to an increasing Birth,

As if he led mistaken Men to toil,

And sweat for Matter for a future spoil.

Yet 'tis not Prey they seek, as much as Blood,

For e'en in Peace they fiercely trace the Wood,

O're Forests range, and every Plain infest,

Now Fight with Man, and now Engage with Beast;

To please the Crowd, they unprovok'd engage,

And sell their Lives, to the dishonest Stage;

And when calm Peace doth Publick Rest bestow,

Yet still to Fight, each seeks himself a Foe.

They spend their leisure Hours in fierce Alarms,

And all their Recreation is in Arms.

-Manilius, translated by Thomas Creech

Did you say in your thread about Anno Domini?

I think I now know where you got that idea from.



Thank you for your cup.. of bloody theme, martians.

Now that I have set free..

No take no opium.

"And the twelve rulers spoke with the twelve angels: 'Let each of you 52 […] and let them […] generation [… five] angels:

The first [is Yaoth], who's called 'the Good One.'

The second is Harmathoth, [the eye of fire].

The [third] is Galila.

The fourth [is] Yobel.

The fifth is Adonaios.

"

"And your star will [rule] over the thirteenth realm." Then Jesus [laughed].

[Judas] said, "Master, why [are you laughing at me?"

Jesus] answered [and said], "I'm not laughing [at you but] at the error of the stars, because these six stars go astray with these five warriors, and they'll all be destroyed along with their creations."

Then Judas said to Jesus, "What will those do who've been baptized in your name?"



The Betrayal

Jesus said, "Truly I say [to you], this baptism 56 [which they've received in] my name […] will destroy the whole generation of the earthly Adam. Tomorrow they'll torture the one who bears me. Truly I [say] to you, no hand of a mortal human [will fall] upon me. Truly [I say] to you, Judas, those who offer sacrifices to Saklas […] everything that's evil. But you'll do more than all of them, because you'll sacrifice the human who bears me. Your horn has already been raised, your anger has been kindled, your star has ascended, and your heart has [strayed]. 57 Truly [I say to you], your last [… and] the [… the thrones] of the realm have [been defeated], the kings have grown weak, the angelic generations have grieved, and the evil [they sowed …] is destroyed, [and] the [ruler] is wiped out. [And] then the [fruit] of the great generation of Adam will be exalted, because before heaven, earth, and the angels, that generation from the realms exists. Look, you've been told everything."
