The image on right is a statue of Mercury (aka Hermes) prominently featured in the downtown Rochester skyline high atop the Lawyers Cooperative Extension building (Aqueduct building).
I took some pictures while out and about, logging items of interest that were either specifically sought out or discovered along the way. I'm going to share some of this, which follows a core theme of this blog that is to expose Satan's plan as found woven into our environment. You, wherever you live, may have very similar occult signal beacons or portals that influence your locality.
Until recent years, I had no idea why the Upstate NY region around Rochester seemed rather special. I don't mean "special" in that it's particularly good in some way. It's the opposite, particularly bad; spiritually oppressive, with a darkness and deadness; slumber. There's lots of significant history, spiritually. I've talked about my perceptions and some of this region's history with my cousin Bill on occasion, who grew up in the area too. He feels the same way I do about it. There is a dark spiritual atmosphere here. This had an impact on me as I was growing up and is something I must have been sensitive to, perceiving it on some level even though I couldn't identify what it was.
Such a regional condition as I'm describing can be understood based upon the testimony of the scriptures in Ephesians 6:12 and Daniel 10:13. There is a "prince" over the Rochester area, a demonic authority presiding over an assigned domain. The reality of it is witnessed to by the landmarks - the statues and symbols of the gods who reign over it seem nearly everywhere present. What I logged during my visit is a sampling of those elements.
In this post, I'm going to present one witness I discovered while walking around downtown that "says the most" and "speaks the loudest" to me.
Before the Genesee River empties into Lake Ontario, it runs through Rochester. Downtown, there is a 96 foot waterfall known as High Falls (see above). One of the main access points to the High Falls district is pictured below. On the overpass is a sign reading, "Welcome to High Falls." Some of you will immediately recognize a symbolic drive-through version of the triple-helix DNA transformation - soul capture portal. This models receiving the mark of the beast every time someone drives through! This is an example of ritual magic that actively recruits in antichrist delusion.
I spotted this gateway walking down State
If you haven't been following the blog or are unfamiliar with this kind of signal, what you're looking at here is a rather classic combination of signal elements. If you have been following the blog you see here yet more validation of what the Lord has
This compares to the Royal Arch of Freemasonry. You'll notice in this popular image the arch of heaven, the two pillars, one with a helical winding, and the crossroads intersection.
The triple helix feature is represented on the keystone of the Royal Arch by the 69 claimed to represent the astrological sign, Cancer. The number 69 equals 23+23+23; meaning three sex chromosomes and three strands of DNA.
The arched gateway is pictured on the "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" book cover, with Harry
The triple helix feature is represented on the book cover with the three diamonds (actually a composite of opposing deltas) each representing a strand of DNA, one each from the male, female and the one of their union with the heavenly.
The watery blue element on the overpass speaks to me of Revelation 13:1, where John wrote of seeing the Beast appear rising out of the sea. The "Welcome to High Falls" sign is welcoming those who pass through the portal to the place of HIGH FALLS. Who fell from a high place? Lucifer? Yes. The Watchers? Again, yes. The word "Nephilim" used in Genesis 6 to describe the hybrid offspring derives from a root that means "to fall" or "to cause to fall." Welcome to High Falls, indeed! No thanks!
As you approach the gateway notice how there is a crossroads. Like Bob Dylan speaks of going to "the crossroads," where he made the bargain with the chief commander, legendary Robert Johnson had gone before him. If you find yourself in the not very distant future at "the crossroads," presented with the choice of taking the mark of the Beast, don't accept the welcome to "High Falls." There's no way out.
If you think you'll be able to do whatever you want now and some time later just make an easy decision at the last minute, don't bet on it. The devil is sly and more deceptive than you know. Make the decision to serve the Lord Y'shua with your whole life now. Draw near to Him in humble obedience. Pride goes before a fall. Humble yourself now, and be exalted later. You won't regret it.
