While preparing the previous posting, I sought to understand the meaning of the skeleton pictured on the iPhone of the OsiriX marketing image. The skeleton is a symbol I had been wanting to understand, and too, the more specific image of the skull and crossbones.
Occult symbols often have many layers or levels of meaning. Some with esoteric knowledge say there are seven. I don't know about that but there does usually seem to be more than one. I presented the skeleton first as a man without skin covering him up, as man hidden behind the skin; the "occult" man. Then I presented the skeleton man without skin as a reference to when Adam was in the garden of Eden. Without the garment of skin that represented the Lord God's provision of atonement for sin, Adam was in a particularly vulnerable state, a state we're unrelentingly being confronted with as we find ourselves nearing the end of an appointed cycle of time. I believe the basic meaning of the bones of man is death and resurrection.
Many view the skull and skeleton as merely symbolizing death, the end of life and, superficially, it does, as in the familiar associations with poison and the iconic pirate's Jolly Roger.
The marketing image of the OsiriX iPhone app is really quite obvious in its reference. Freemasons who might be involved in the radiology business have got to be snickering gleefully about the state of affairs in the health care world.
Osiris is the primary skeleton identity, the occult man. He is occulted or hidden in the "skull and crossbones" marked crypt seen under the floor of the Freemason's Temple floor.
In this age of overspreading antichrist delusion that anticipates the coming of Osiris with his life-giving (really anti-death) provision,
As is the occult man, so are the occult men. As the beast, so are those who will receive the mark of the beast. As the genuine, so the counterfeit, after a fashion. The color green is a symbol of life used in the Bible. I'm part of this Green movement. I want to be "all about" His life, the Tree of Life - Y'shua!
The occult man is really that which is hidden, the inner man, which is a subject that involves different kinds of life. One is temporary and animates the physical body for an appointed season. Another is "age-abiding" or eternal. Adam already had one kind breathed into him but eating from the tree of life would have given him another. When Y'shua was born of Mary he had, like the first Adam, been fathered by the Lord God. They had the kind life that is potentially perishable. (Adam's was forfeited due to the consequences of sin. Y'shua's was volunteered as a sinless sacrifice, making full restitution.) When Y'shua was raised from the dead he became the firstfruits of them that rise. He has a kind of life that does not perish!
16) Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day.
17) For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison,
18) while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
The Osiris antichrist conspiracy targets all of what is "you" - body, soul and spirit.
Now, when the earthly body perishes the flesh rots quickly away but the bones last much longer. The bones that remain are an enduring reminder of the life yet to come.
Here's a very relevant account of dry bones coming to life in Ezekiel.
4) Again He said to me, "Prophesy over these bones and say to them, 'O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.'
5) Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones, 'Behold, I will cause breath to enter you that you may come to life.
6) I will put sinews on you, make flesh grow back on you, cover you with skin and put breath in you that you may come alive; and you will know that I am the LORD.'"
Ezekiel 37:4-6
I'll close this posting with a couple more fascinating and profound things to ponder. There is something about the bones that's based on the anatomy of the man created in the image of God. Behind the occult man of bones is another occult man. Hidden inside the skin is bone and inside the bone is marrow - life! Blood is made in the large bones, and the life of the flesh is in the blood (Leviticus 17:11). Hidden inside the bones is life! Beyond the man with skin you see animated in the flesh is death, visible as the bones man. Beyond the death is the new life in resurrection, represented by the marrow. You see, my friend. Resurrection life is coming, and not just the fakery and cheap substitute presented in the symbolic imagery of the occult. The witness to this promise is in our bodies!
Here's the real "skull," the real "crossbones," the legitimate head of the body and the genuine Lord of resurrection life!
They took Jesus, therefore, and He went out, bearing His own cross, to the place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha.
John 19:17
The serpent is a counterfeiter, yeah? Although the impact of the effort put forth by such as OsiriX will bring loss and ruin, ultimately it is but a shoddy sham. Osiris himself is a miserable and pathetic excuse for a savior. Y'shua rules. Hallelujah!
