The book, The Da Vinci Code which itself is based mostly upon the wild speculations of the book Holy Blood Holy Grail is having a huge impact on society. These books and others like them have been completely discredited by serious scholarship - yet they have caught the imagination of feminist new age goddest worshipper types who have embraced the Da Vinci Code myth with all the enthusiasm they normally reserve for Oprah or even Dr. Phil.  Taking up the new Gospel According To Dan Brown his disciples have deified Mary Magdalene and created a whole new form of gnostic paganism around their perverted conception of their gnostic-Magdalene as divine bride and consort of their gnostic-Jesus in which the two are, of course, equals.

In the Da Vinci Code myth the mythical "Holy Grail" is really the secret bloodline of gnostic-Jesus through his "wife" gnostic-Magdalene, then through their supposed-daughter "Sarah" - then down through the ages to the present.  All of this knowledge is said to come to us from the secret documents of the Priori of Sion , a secret society that has supposedly been the guardian of the "Holy Grail" down through the centuries. The list of "Grand Masters" of the Priori have supposedly included the likes of Leonardo Da Vinci and Sir Isaac Newton. In fact, the central "proof"  for all this nonsense in the book and movie is Leonardo's painting of the Last Supper in which the Apostle, "Saint John" seated next to Christ is said to actually be - you guessed it - Mary Magdalene! Why should we think so? Three reasons, we are told. On the table each one has nothing but a simple cup and there is no ornate "Holy Grail" cup in sight. Could this be because the "Holy Grail" is a myth not invented till the middle ages? That is way to obvious and clearly not mysterious enough to sell books. The shape formed between "Jesus" and "Saint John" - now seen as gnostic-Magdalene, is a V. This is not just the way they are sitting - it is Leonardo giving us a clue to the secret. Namely, the supposed V shape really stands for gnostic-Magdalene's womb! I'm really glad they told me that or I would never have figured that out. Finally, we should believe all this because "Saint John" in the picture is said to look like a woman. That has to be gnostic-Mary right?

Not exactly.  Let's look at a few more of Leonardo's pictures.


Granted, "Saint John" does look feminine by today's standards. However, so do some of the other "Apostles" in the picture. Why is that? John lived long after the Last Supper, some believe into the second century. That means he was likely quite young at the time of the Last Supper and is therefore often depicted as a young man with boyish features and no beard. Others are also depicted the same way in paintings of the same era.

Below are some examples of Leanardo's work in which young males appear feminine by today's standard. There is no "Da Vinci Code" here. And there is no gnostic-Mary.

   It's my understanding that this whole mess about the "Holy Grail"...and the bloodline has something to do with the Royals...and their bloodline..which in my opinion...would fall in line with the whole anti christ thinking....like, hmmm...the throne of England and how they expect the "messiah" to come from THEIR  bloodline.......I'd have to look up my notes....LOL.........Illuminati, etc...stuff like that....

Hello Teshuvahshabbot, you're right!

There is a lot of speculation about the anti-christ arising from European royalty with Prince Charles or his offspring often being named, or sometimes lesser known candidates of European royalty. Personally, I think it premature to make such speculations about any individual. However, the underlying theory that the anti-christ will arise from among European royalty has merit. While other notions are also being put forward, it still seems pretty clear from Scripture that the core kingdom of anti-christ will be a revived Roman Empire, which is to say a European empire (Daniel 2). The figure who will arise among the "kings" of this empire is himself called a "king." This could be just a way of saying a ruler, but maybe not. Maybe "king" is literally meant to be understood as a "king" in the dynastic sense of the word, that is, as one who rules as king by virtue of a royal dynasty.

There are still countries in Europe openly governed by royalty. However, I have heard it said that even the "democratic nations" of Europe are largely governed by descendants of royalty to this day. In fact, most if not all of the royalty of Europe have a common descent from the Merovingian kings, who figure prominantly in the Da Vinci Code story as the so-called descendants of "Jesus and Mary Magdalene." There seems to be some evidence that the Merovingians themselves did indeed perpetrate this myth as a justification for their "right to rule" in Europe, since this claim, if true, would make them heir to the kingdom of David through Christ. While the "Jesus and Mary Magdalene" story is clearly an unsubstantiated lie, it does seem to be true that the Merovingian kings descended from 'Jewish' stock. Here is a quote about that: 

"There was a very great 'Jewish' component among the Sicambrian Franks/Merovingians and, because they practiced polygamy (another Merovingian peculiarity) they left a great number of offspring. These aristocratic Merovingian children married into almost all of the noble families of Europe during the 5th, 6th, and 7th Centuries. This has prompted more than one historian to suggest that the foundation of European nobility is Jewish!" [Bradley, Michael. HOLY GRAIL ACROSS THE ATLANTIC, Willowdale, 1988, p. 180]

One reason I find this compelling is that the "anti-christ" will likely be of the tribe of Dan. Now, strictly speaking Dan is not Jewish, that is, of the tribes of Judah. However, the popular conception of the meaning of the word "Jewish" throughout the "Christian era" has included all of the descendants of Israel. Also, while the ten tribes as a whole did not return with the Jews after the exile some individuals from each of the tribes were re-integrated into Jewish society thereafter, thereby becoming "Jews." In that sense some from the tribe of Dan did in fact become Jews. But, I digress. Back to my point about the anti-christ arising from the tribe of Dan.

There is some evidence that followers of Messiah have believed anti-christ to be a Dannite from very early on. For example, Irenaeus comments:

"And Jeremiah does not merely point out his [anti-christ's] sudden coming, but he even indicates the tribe from which he shall come where he says 'We shall hear the voice of his swift horses from Dan; the whole earth shall be moved by the voice of the neighing of his galloping horses: he shall also come and devour the earth, and the fulness thereof, the city also, and they that dwell therein.' This, too, is the reason that this tribe is not reckoned in the Apocalypse along with those which are saved." [Irenaeus, "Against Heresies," Vol. I of Ante-Nicean Fathers, p. 559]

The Jewish Encyclopedia suggests that this belief regarding the "anti-christ" coming from Dan was of earlier Jewish origin:

"Irenaeus ('Heresies' Vol. 302), Hippolytus ('De Christo et Antichristo', pp. 14,15), and other Church fathers have a tradition which can not but be of Jewish origin, that the Antichrist comes from the tribe of Dan, and base it upon Jer. VIII.16: 'The snorting of (the enemies) his horses was heard from Dan'... Irenaeus remarks that Dan is, in view of this tradition, not in the Apocalypse (Rev.vii.5-7) among the 144,000 saved ones of the twelve tribes. Nor is the omission of Dan in I Chron. iv. et seq. unintentional... Dan became the very type of evildoing. He was placed in the north (Num.ii.25), this being the region of darkness and evil (Jer. i.14) because of his idolatry which wrapped the world in darkness (Num.ii.)."  [Singer, The Jewish Encyclopedia, ("Dan"), p. 423]

We read in Scripture that Dan became part of the plot to remove Israel from submitting to the Kingdom of David:

"Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel. And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the House of David: If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of YHWH at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah. Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan. And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan. And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi." I Kings 12:25-32

In this way Dan became a center of idolatry, the purpose of which was to turn the people away from the rightful rule of David by supporting a substitute king via false religion. Goddess worship was strongly promoted in Dan as part of the anti-davidic conspiracy. Remnants of the Danite goddess worship have been found, as in this quote:

"Fortunately, a stone image of Asherah has survived ... found in ruins of Dan, where the golden calf was worshipped in what is now northern Israel, [which] dates from the eighth century B.C.E. The Goddess strongly resembles her neighboring deities Anet, Astarte, Ashtaroth." [Johnson, Buffie. LADY OF THE BEASTS: THE GODDESS AND HER SACRED ANIMALS Rochester, VT: Inner Traditions International, 1994, p. 315]

Actually, Asherah is the same goddess as the others. This is the "sacred feminine arch-type" to borrow a term from Dan Brown. The sacred feminine arch-type "goddess" originated in Babylon and eventually came to be embodied in the gnostic-Magdalene of the Merovingians by way of an offshoot of the Jewish gnosticism of Alexandria. [Off topic, Asherah is also worshipped by Christians each Easter from the 4th century onward when the celebration of the fertility goddess Astarte was incorporated into "Christian" worship. Hence, eggs, bunnies and other fertility customs of the pagan Astarte worship that still survive today in the Easter celebration.]

Without going through the detailed evidence in this post, a good case can be made that the Merovingians, though claiming to be Davidians, actually comprise the remains of the tribe of Dan a/k/a the royalty of Europe! If true, this puts the tribe of Dan in position to produce the anti-christ from among the royals of Europe to unite Europe in a new Holy Roman Empire - when the time is right. Documents will no doubt be produced at that time to "prove" that the anti-christ is the rightful heir of "Jesus and Mary Magdalene" and is therefore a divine christ figure with the right to rule the world from the throne of David. Christ-like miracles which are really "lying signs" including a staged resurrection will convince the masses that the new hero is indeed "Christ" returned in human flesh. All of this fulfills Scripture to a tee, and it seems that the masses are being prepared to look for just such a figure by way of the Grail nonsense now made so wildly famous by the Da Vinci Code. You've got to admit, this scenario makes a lot of sense.

This also neatly explains why the tribe of Dan is not included among the 144,000, the faithful remnant of Israel in the Final Days (Rev. 7). How could they be if in fact they are the support structure for anti-christ from among their ranks? This would be a sort of re-run for Dan from the time of Jeroboam when, through a false religious lie Dan supported the conspiracy of the anti-messiah of that day. How true to form for Dan that the goddess worship they have sponsored from then forward will be fundamental to the claims of the anti-christ as descendant of a god and goddess, making himself a god!

Given all of these implications the Da Vinci Code "fad" may be much more than that. It may be a substantial step forward in the ongoing process to soften up the world for the rise of the son of destruction.

Faithful Remnant of God, take note.

I love your research posts!!! I found an interesting thing I would like to share concerning Dan....I was looking up words when I was reading on the tribes and when the cities were being given to them...

Jos 19:40  And the seventh lot came out for the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families.
Jos 19:41  And the coast of their inheritance was Zorah, and Eshtaol, and Irshemesh, ..

Now, check this out!!!...the word for "Irshemesh" says this...H5905
עיר שׁמשׁ
‛îyr shemesh
err sheh'-mesh
From H5892 and H8121; city of the sun; Ir-Shemesh, a place in Palestine: - Ir-shemesh.

Gen 49:17  Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.

"city of the sun." Very interesting. And it certainly can't be a good thing to be likened to a serpent!
