Hello all. :)
Recently Yah has been poking me about healing. That is a different story altogether, that if I feel the need to post - or if someone would like me to post - I shall explain about.
So healing... at its base, what is it? Reliance on Yah... no?
Yah has been poking me about healing and about the medical profession, and how it takes our reliance off Him and onto man. So I have been doing some digging into the symbols of the medical industry that I would like to share and get some feedback from others in regards to it. :)
Ok in the "drugged" chapter of YY, Yada does talk about this, although I have probably not read that chapter in over a year now. I decided to do some of my own digging.
We have looked at symbols quite a lot in the forums, especially in regards to leadership and the illuminati / One World Order stuff. I have done a little digging recently into the symbols of the medical world.
Firstly we have the most recognisable symbol:
As you can see, it's 2 snakes around a rod, with some nice wing like things at the top...
This is the symbol I recognise most for medical things, and that's probably more thanks to American TV, as it's NOT actually the real symbol for medical things universally. See the following quote:
Wikipedia wrote:The caduceus (/kəˈduːsiəs/, -ʃəs, -ˈdjuː-; kerykeion in Greek) or wand of Hermes is typically depicted as a short herald's staff entwined by two serpents in the form of a double helix, and sometimes surmounted by wings. In later Antiquity the caduceus was an astrological symbol of commerce and in Roman iconography was often depicted being carried in the left hand of the Greek god Hermes, the messenger of the gods, conductor of the dead and protector of merchants and thieves.
The caduceus has come to be used as a symbol for medicine, especially in North America, by confusion with the traditional medical symbol, the rod of Asclepius, which has only a single snake and no wings.
So what
IS the symbol that should be used, and is it any better than twisting serpents and Greek gods...
The simple answer is.... no.
This is the actual symbol, before (what wikipedia calls)' the north American corruption...' (oh the irony...)
So what does this mean?
Wikipedia wrote:The rod of Asclepius (also known as the rod of Asklepios, rod of Aesculapius or asklepian[1]) is an ancient Greek symbol associated with astrology and with healing the sick through medicine. It consists of a serpent entwined around a staff. Asclepius, the son of Apollo, was a practitioner of medicine in ancient Greek mythology.
The rod of Asclepius symbolizes the healing arts by combining the serpent, which in shedding its skin is a symbol of rebirth and fertility, with the staff, a symbol of authority befitting the god of Medicine. The snake wrapped around the staff is widely claimed to be a species of rat snake, Elaphe longissima, also known as the Aesculapian or Asclepian snake. It is native to south eastern Europe, Asia Minor, and some central European spa regions, apparently brought there by Romans for their healing properties.
Now, we obviously know that these aren’t the greatest symbols to link to something that does so much "good"... but what else can we glean from the image?
Snakes in scripture - what picture prophetically does it paint?
Short answer? Satan and demon's in general.
Yada Yahweh wrote:Yahushua explained why the pontificators and perpetrators of deception, destruction, death, and damnation would "receive (lambano - procure for themselves and experience) the greater (perissos - beyond measure and abundant; exceedingly supreme and uncommon; vehement and persistent; forceful, impassioned, intense, and bitterly antagonistic) damnation (krima - condemnation, penal judgment, judicial penalty, punishment, criminal sentence)." They were born of the spirit from below... "You serpents (ophis - snakes displaying deception and cunning), you are born (gennema) of vipers (echidna - poisonous and venomous snakes, malignant serpents). By what means (pos) will you escape (pheugo - be saved from, elude or avoid), the damnation (krisis - separation, trial, judgment and justice; condemnation and punishment) of Gehenna (gorge of dead animals, refuse and filth)?" (Matthew 23:33)
This is one of many examples used and I think we all know that the use of snakes in prophetic language is to symbolise things that aren’t particularly "of Yah".
Surely this is a sign for us? A warning? Medical staff do so much good and save so many lives, surely it can't be of Satan? Surely Yah can use these people?
I don’t know anymore... from what Yah has been saying to me we should be reliant on Him and expect the miraculous.
This isn't a stab at any profession in particular, doc's or nurses - I grew up in hospitals as my parents worked in them all my life (they retired recently)
If I was going for a long shot on the whole image of the snake around the staff, I would say it's a picture of Satan entangling himself around the upright pole... Satan knows what he’s doing...
I’m trying to sound out ideas really... What does everyone else think?
