Lucifer, in his pride has appeared to numerous cultures under a variety of names. One of his quirks has been to demonstrate his wisdom and knowledge by passing on various calendars to those who had welcomed his appearing. It can be assumed that he wishes for his important dates to be memorialized. Of particular note are the Mayan, the Hindu, the Assyrian and the Egyptian calendars. All are based on complex calculations, and each of the Assyrian, Egyptian, Mayan and Hindu examples use cycles that are well beyond the life-spans of scores of generations. The advantage that we have is that when two or more calendars reflect a common starting point, it's a simple matter of counting back until they coincide.

Julius Oppert, the founder of the modern school of Assyriology, reported that "ancient Egyptians calculated by cycles of 1,460 years-zodiacal cycles tied to the heliacal rising of Sirius, the brightest star in the sky. Their year consisted of 365 days which caused them to lose one day in every four years, and consequently, they would attain their original starting point again after 1,460 years (365 x 4). The zodiacal cycle ending in the year 139 of our era commenced in 1,322 B.C. [These widely accepted beginning/ending dates of the ancient Egyptian cycle were based on the heliacal rising of Sirius, the brightest star in the sky.] The Assyrian cycle was 1,805 years, or 22,325 lunations. An Assyrian cycle began in the year 712 B.C.

These two modes of calculating time are in agreement with each other, and were known simultaneously to the Chaldeans. Building up the series of both cycles, starting from our era, the result is as follows:

At the year 11,542 B.C. the two cycles came together, and consequently they had on that year their common origin in one and the same astronomical observation." I assert that the date at which he was banished is a very important date indeed to Lucifer; so much so that in the calendars that he created and gave to various civilisations, he has incorporated starting dates that reflect the beginning of his rule on the Earth. It appears that 11,542 BC is a landmark year for our great enemy. In one sense, it is the date of his humiliation. In any sense, he's added some spin to that and has made out that it's the date on which he became Lord of the Earth. To answer the earlier question, the short answer is no, there were no humans before Adam. War in Heaven! As amazing as it may seem that we could identify the date of Lucifer's exile, there is another convergence of calendar dates that will identify the date on Earth when war took place in Heaven. One would imagine that as Lucifer's forces were out-numbered two to one, his defeat would have been achieved very quickly. What we have to remember is that a period of centuries here is a very short period of time in Heaven as described in 2 Peter 3:8 “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” This statement is hyperbole and is intended to demonstrate the differences in the perception of time between Earth and Heaven. It seems unlikely that the one day to a thousand years and vice-versa was ever intended to be the formula for measuring time-frames. Lucifer has a demonstrated liking for memorialising events that are important to him. As described in Revelation 12:7 “And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,”. This too was a landmark date in the history of Satan and he has made sure that this time too will be remembered. Therefore, he has given at least 2 more calendars where the starting points exactly coincide with each other. The Mayan Cycles There is no doubt that a cyclic philosophy of history was part of Mayan tradition. The surviving Aztec codices speak of four previous eras, worlds or "suns" that have come and gone before the advent of our present world, the "fifth sun." http://jaguarwisdom.org/2012.html Dr. Spinden, of Harvard, states that the first definite date in the history of the New World is Aug. 6, 613 B.C. The Mayan calendar shows that the ancient peoples of Central America had long cycles of approximately 2,760 years (actually 2,759.8 years). The beginning of one span is traced to the year 3373 B.C. Four periods of 2,759.8 years from 613 BC or 11,039 years from that date would take us back to 11,652 B.C. The calculation actually gives a date of May 6-7^th in that year, the slight uncertainty being derived by the fact that there is a fraction of a day left over. Some sources use the approximation of 2,760 years which puts the starting point in 11,653 BC, an error of 1 year. For the purpose of this calculation, an approximation is problematical, so precise figures are vital. The really interesting thing is that one of the Mayan calendars is based upon observations of the movements of Venus. It has been calculated that the observations required to produce such a complex calculation would need to have taken place over a period of more than 2,000 years. This is well beyond the life-spans of 40-50 generations. The other explanation is that, as they claim, it was given to them by their god Quetzacoatl, the feathered serpent (Satan). It should be noted that the Mayans also used another calendar to give an approximation of the 365 day year. Of further interest is the fact that the long cycle of 2,760 years is derived from the calculation of 144,000 days times 7. The Mayans derived their figure from the fact that a day is known as a kin. Twenty kins make a uinal (month), 18 uinals a tun (year), 20 tuns a katun (about 20 years) and 20 katuns a baktun (nearly 400 years). Thus we have 20 x 18 x 20 x 20 = 144,000. Here we have the number 144,000 associated with the long count Mayan calendar. It's hard to see how this figure could be tied in any way to the 144,000 in Revelation. In this case, it probably is coincidence. The long count is based upon 7 baktuns being 144,000 days times 7. We know that there were 4 ages to calculate back from 6 August, 613 B.C.. 144,000 x 7 x 4 gives 4,032,000 days. There are nearly exactly 365.2421896698 days in a year, so the period is 2,759 years, 91 days and 11 hours, taking us back to the previously stated date of May 6-7^th, 11,652 B.C.. Around that time of the year is the Satanic New Year known as Beltane, which starts at sundown on April 30. In times past, it was celebrated between May 4-10, but it has now taken up residence these days on April 30^th / May 1^st since the adoption of the Julian calendar. Beltane is a cross-quarter day, marking the midpoint between the vernal equinox and summer solstice. The astronomical date for this midpoint is closer to 5 - 6 May, 6 May being the date derived from the Mayan calendar. The name for the festival is for the Celtic god Belanos. Belanos was their sun god. His feast day was May 1. Belanos was related to the Greek and Roman deity Apollo and the Babylonian Baal (or Bel). Let's look at Beltane a little more closely. It occurs half-way between the spring equinox and the summer solstice, and the mean sun method gives a date of May　6. However, because of Earth's elliptical orbit, the speed of the Earth is still decreasing slightly as it travels between the point of the equinox and the point of the solstice, so it is travelling slightly faster before it reaches the mid-point than after. Thus it arrives at Beltane a little before the time calculated according to the mean sun method. According to the true sun method it arrives on May 5. It appears that Satan is sufficiently satisfied for the day celebrating his rebellion to be the first day of the month. In history, it is not only the Wiccans, the Satanists and the New-Agers who celebrate this day. It has been inserted into the culture of a multitude of groups who signify it as a day to lionise rebellion. Labour movements generally have May 1 as a protest day. Communists celebrate May 1, even Russia whose revolution was in October of 1917. The American dollar bill has the date MDCCLXXVI (1776) printed on it at the base of a pyramid which has the Latin inscription beneath which reads Novus Ordo Seclorum, translated as New Secular Order (or New World Order). It actually insinuates May 1, 1776 which is the date that Adam Weishaupt, a Bavarian lawyer, philosopher and Freemason formed the Order of Illuminati which embraces the concept of a New World Order. Is should be noted that George Washington and about half of the signatories to the American Declaration of Independence were proven Freemasons who followed in Weishaupt's philosophies. The Hindu Cycle In Indian culture, the elements of the Romaka-siddhanta matters concerning yuga, ahargana, intercalation of lunar months... It introduces a luni-solar cycle of 2,850 years containing 1,050 intercalary months and 16,547 omitted lunar days. - Hindu Astronomy by P.D. Sharma – page 79 Yuga ( युग) in Hindu philosophy is the name of an 'epoch' or 'era' within a cycle of four ages. The number of terrestrial days passed from any epoch is called Ahargana. The Brahmins measure time in rounds of 2,850 years from 3102 B.C. The beginning of the Kali yuga era was February 18 , 3102 BC. Three of these cycles, or 8,550 years, added to 3102 B.C. give us the date of 11,652 B.C

So, we have the Mayan and Indian calendars both starting in 11,652 BC. Once again, there is an event that corresponds to a starting point for calendars from both sides of the world. This is no mere coincidence. The intent of Satan in promoting this date is to underline the time of the first occasion that he took God on in open warfare. In Heaven, it is uncertain how long this first battle may have lasted , but here on Earth, 110 years had passed. 110 in itself is an interesting number, the factors being 10 x 11. The number 10 stands for testing, law and responsibility. The number 11 symbolises disorder and judgement. -http://www.asis.com/users/stag/numbtabl.html. In all of the mathematics we've seen so far in relation to any Venus cycle, this is the first instance of the number 11 coming up. What we can derive from these two numbers falling together is that Lucifer was tested; he failed resulting in disorder and judgement on himself and also on the Earthly creation that was his responsibility to maintain. What about the intervening years? >From the creation of Adam until the upcoming transit of 2012, there will have been 6 full periods; 'days' if you will. When Genesis speaks of days, it's not necessarily a 24 hour period. The word 'day' is used in the Bible in numerous ways including as 'a period set aside for a specific purpose, such as 'The day of the Lord' or 'The day of judgement' etc. As the creation of Adam falls on the sixth day, there are 5 'days' prior to 5294 BC. If these days are each 1,215 years each, the start of the first day is therefore 11,369-77 BC. The starting point of that 'day' was the twin transits of that period, leaving a period of 165-173 years prior to God's declaration of "Let there be light." At the time of Lucifer's exile (11,542 BC), there was a judgement upon the Earth which scientists call an Ice Age that began some 20,000 years ago, possibly caused by meteorites hitting the Earth and throwing up dust and stimulating volcanic activity that blotted out the Sun. The gap of 165- 173 years of darkness occurred late in the Ice Age and would certainly have been sufficient to create the description of the Earth in Genesis 1:2 which says, “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.” Apart from the pre-existing ice-age that restricted most life (if any survived) to the equatorial regions, there was most certainly an event at 11,542 BC that plunged the Earth into total darkness. There is scriptural support that this is what may have occurred. Revelation 12:4 “And his (the dragon) tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born .” Where it speaks of the stars of heaven, it is referring to angels. As well as the metaphoric use of the term, there appears to have been a literal usage. The word 'star' as used here is the Greek word 'aster' which refers to fixed stars, moving stars (planets) or falling stars (meteors and meteorites). My contention is that the casting of the stars to the Earth refers to angels and also to meteorites. These would be meteorites of sufficient size and quantity to throw up dust and volcanic ash of an order that would blot out the Sun for centuries or even millennia if God hadn't intervened. Part b of the verse demonstrates the purpose of these fallen angels which was to destroy the promised child, the Messiah. Therefore, we see the numerous attempts by Satan and his cohorts to destroy the blood-line that would result in the coming Messiah. When they failed in this mission, they have resorted to attacks on God's Word and God's people. They know they're defeated, so the plan now is to take as many with them as they can. In relation to the desolation of Earth, http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net quotes from Mayan writings, “A Maya codex states that "the sky approached the earth and in one day all perished. Even the mountains disappeared under water." The Dresden Codex of the Mayas shows the destruction of the world in pictorial form. On the chart there is a serpent in the sky with torrents of water pouring out from its mouth. Mayan signs indicate lunar and solar eclipses. The moon goddess, the patroness of death, has a frightening appearance. An inverted bowl, from which gushes a destroying flood, in in her hands. The Popul Vuh, the sacred book of Guatemala Mayas, bears witness to the dire character of the disaster. It says that the roar of fires was heard above. The earth shook and things revolted against man. It rained tar with water. The trees were swinging, houses crumbling, caves collapsing. Then day became black night. The Chilam Balam of Yucatán asserts that the motherland of the Mayas was swallowed up by the sea amid earthquakes and fiery eruptions in a very distant epoch”. There were no surviving people to record this event. It was given to the Mayas by their god Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent a.k.a. Satan. Before 300 B.C. there is no physical evidence that the Mayas existed at all. Somehow, they'd backdated the previous era to 3373 B.C. and another three eras before going back to 11,652 B.C.. There was no-one in existence at that time except for God and His angels, and Lucifer and his followers. The Mayas description of the serpent pouring out the waters identifies the source of the story.

It is obvious that a lot went on in pre-history and that God's plan for the Universe spans many billions of years. Time might mean a lot to us, but to God, time is something that He is Master of, and not subject to it. Above is a chart showing the time-line as described in this book. Time since the first day: Simple maths will help us to calculate that there were 5 days (5 x 1,215 years) prior to Adam and 6 days ((6 x 1,215) + 8 + 7 years) up until 2012 AD. We are coming to the end of the 11^th day. The 12^th day starts on June 6^th, 2012. As we have seen so many times, the number 12 stands for divine government. Something significant is going to begin on that date, with this next day being subjected to God's direct intervention.

Now that we've seen how these cycles coincide so strongly with crucial events in history, we should look forward with great expectation to the events that will occur at the time of the up-coming transit in 2012.

While the dual agendas are spelled out within the orbit of Venus, the ratios that spell out the Man of Sin and the Man of Salvation tell us one thing on which we can be sure. The revelation of these two identities is strategically placed at the time of the transits, particularly at the end of each 1,215 year cycle. It seems almost as if Satan through some principle that we are yet to understand, gathers strength and impetus over and above his normal influence at this time of the cycle. However, we will see in later chapters that this coming opportunity will be his very last. To recap, here is how events related to the previous end of cycle transits have played out:

7. 2012 AD - yet to come, including the fact that within a few years of this date, Jesus Christ will return in majesty.
