SERIES: JANUS: The Return Of The "God" Of New Beginnings
Part 10: JANUS: Chaos, A King And A Golden Age
By Ed Tarkowski

JANUS: King Of Latium And A Golden Age

"When his wife died, Janus became the sole ruler of Latium. He sheltered
Saturn when he was fleeing from Jupiter. Janus, as the first king of Latium,
brought the people a time of peace and welfare; the Golden Age. He
introduced money, cultivation of the fields, and the laws"
(http://www.pantheon.org/mythica/articles/j/janus.html).

I don't know a lot about mythology, but I will try to explain what is in
back of this last quote. In mythology, Saturn was head of the Titans. When
they were overthrown, they were banished by Jupiter (Saturn's son] to the
underworld. But Saturn managed to escape, and fled to Latium where he was
met by Janus. Janus hid him and he became known as the hidden god. Saturn
settled on Capitoline Hill and civilized the people. He taught them
agriculture and became the god of the harvest, and so is often associated
with the sickle. His festival is the Saturnalia, which became Christmas in
the Catholic Church. Associated with Janus in mythology, I think it
important to mention that Saturn's reign in the city he established was also
called the Golden Age, a time peace where war was not allowed.

This sets up quite a scenario when we consider the coming Christmas, when
the Roman Pope in the likeness of Janus will knock on the Holy Door three
times with a golden hammer and ask that the gates of justice be opened.
Janus had brought the people "a time of peace and welfare; the Golden Age."
This is exactly what the Pope has been working for as part of his agenda for
uniting humanity in a "new Advent." When the world and the apostate church
spiritually enter the "Holy Door" and most likely encounter the spirit of
Janus in this spiritual portal, will the spirit be multiplied throughout the
world through the church's new-found "unity of consciousness"? Will the
"hidden god," Saturn, emerge with sickle in hand from the spiritual realm as
the god of the harvest?

I believe there is in these simple comparisons enough to say that the papacy
operates out of the spirit of Janus.

JANUS: The New Beginnings To End In Chaos?

According to Manifest Sons doctrine, there must come a great harvest of the
world. Those in the Revival are crying out to someone for that harvest, and
receiving "new" revelations about that harvest, and reaping that harvest,
and will take part in still a greater harvesting in the days ahead. But
Scripture says that Christ will harvest the world when He returns in the
power and glory of the Father at the end of Daniel's 70th week.

This heretical doctrine of the MSOG also says there must be a cleansing, a
time of tribulation when the porters or gatekeepers decide who is worthy of
entrance and who is not, until the door is shut in early 2001. Will the
chaos of that tribulation period (not necessarily the Great Tribulation)
come about then, or sooner? If you recall, St. John Bosco mentions a time of
chaos when the Pope guides the Church and anchors it to the two pillars of
Marian Devotion and the Eucharist. And Janus, not so surprisingly, is
associated with Chaos as well:

"Ovid relates that Janus was called Chaos at the time when air, fire, water
and earth were all a formless mass. When the elements separated, Chaos took
on the form of Janus: his two faces represented the confusion of his
original state" (GODS OF THE STATE: PRINCIPAL DIVINITIES, Janus, New
Larousse Encyclopedia Of Mythology, Introduction By Robert Graves, Roman,
pp. 200-202).

"The statement to which I [Hislop] refer is that in which Janus 'the god of
gods,' * from whom all the other gods had their origin, is made to say of
himself: 'The ancients...called me Chaos.'

"'* Janus was so called in the most ancient hymns of the Salii. (MACROB,
Saturn.)'

"Now, first this decisively shows that Chaos was known not merely as a state
of confusion, but as the 'god of Confusion.' But, secondly, who that is at
all acquainted with the laws of Chaldaic pronunciation, does not know that
Chaos is just one of the established forms of the name of Chus or Cush? *
Then, look at the symbol of Janus, **  (see Fig. 7) whom 'the ancients
called Chaos,' and it will be seen how exactly it tallies with the doings of
Cush, when he is identified with Bel, 'The Confounder.' That symbol is a
club; and the name of 'a club' in Chaldee comes from the very word which
signifies 'to break in pieces, or scatter abroad'" (Hislop, Two Babylons,
Chapter II, Section II, Sub-Section I).

How is it possible to reconcile "Janus as Chaos" with "Janus as ruler of a
Golden Age"? Because first there is chaos, but once the confusion and chaos
are dealt with, then comes peace. First comes Chaos, then the Golden Age.
That's the pattern. Fitting the pattern is the Manifest Sons' cleansing of
the earth from all hindrances to Unity and Peace as preparation for Pope
John Paul II's global peace and a united global church. This cleansing, this
tribulation period, will be chaos followed by the supposed establishment of
the kingdom of God on earth and a Golden Age.

We have said we are on the verge of the total implementation by the apostate
church (not even considering the world) of their agenda. This will escalate
dramatically after December. First the harvest, then chaos, then the reign
of antichrist. That's how it seems to be shaping up.

JANUS: Doors Opened During War, Closed During Peace

"In the Forum he had a temple whose gates were open in times of war and
closed in times of peace. The reason for this custom is not certain. The
gates of the temple of Janus were, however, rarely closed: once under Numa,
three times under Augustus, then under Nero, Marcus Aurelius, Commodus,
Gordius III, and in the fourth century.

"When Janus died he was defied. Other legends were attached to him: after
Romulus and his companions had carried off the Sabine women, a Roman woman
was bribed by jewels to show the enemy the path to the citadel. Titus Tatius
and the Sabines attacked the city. One night TARPELA delivered the citadel
into the hands of the Sabines. They had already scaled the heights of the
Capitol when Janus - whose function it was to open a channel for fountains -
launched a jet of hot water which frightened them and put them to flight. To
commemorate this miracle it was decided that in time of war the door of the
Temple of Janus should always be left open so that the god could come to the
aid of the Romans. It was closed only if the Roman Empire was at peace" (Ev
Butterworth, Rome Around,
http://www.science.mcmaster.ca/HAA/Events/EH337.html).

"Inside[,] the statue of Janus has one face looking out each door. The doors
to this temple are closed only at times of peace. During Rome's first 700
years the doors were closed three times. Opening the doors may be symbolic
of the way drawbridges were opened in time of war to protect the early city
of Rome" (J.M.Hunt, Greek Mythology, http://www.frizzell.org/Greek/janus.html).

I won't comment much on the above, but wanted to at least mention this,
considering the fact that in times of war "the door of the Temple of Janus
should always be left open so that the god could come to the aid of the
Romans." The talk of war, warriors and warfare in the Revival, the spiritual
battles going on in the present, and the war of cleansing that is supposed
to take place as proposed by Manifest Sons doctrine, seem to make this an
important point. If the Pope is walking in the spirit of Janus, the opening
of Rome's "Holy Door" as a symbol of the coming return of and reunification
with the denominations could make this very significant.

JANUS: Protector Of Rome

"After his death he was deified and became the protector of Rome"
(http://www.pantheon.org/mythica/articles/j/janus.html).

"Throughout history there have been a number of meanings associated with the
Holy Year Doors. One of the earliest connects the door with the right of
sanctuary ­ PROTECTION AND SAFETY. Other meanings attached to the closing
and opening of the doors are the exclusion of Adam and Eve from Paradise and
our restoration through redemption; and the expulsion and reconciliation of
penitents" (Laura Deavers, Editor, The Catholic Commentator, the official
newspaper of the Diocese of Baton Rouge, May 20, 1998: "Holy Door" Closed to
Mark Millennium,  http://www.diobr.org/TCC%20Articles/1998/Holy%20Door.htm;
caps mine).

Looking at this in the light of our belief that first will come "global
unity" under Rome and then judgement on all those who are left, the
protection of Janus, I believe, becomes appropriate for all who are
following Rome into the new millennium with the expectation of a final
Peace, Unity and a New World.
