The Symbol of the Two Headed Eagle – St. Petersburg, Russia

Two headed eagles are a common sight all over the planet, its amazing how this symbol is rooted into cultures of many nations.  Personally, I have always connected this symbol to Russia.  When visiting Russia it is hard to miss, because it’s basically everywhere.  Also, while traveling around Europe I have realized that this symbol is very easy to find.

So what is the meaning of the double headed symbol?  Origins of this symbol come from ancient Egypt, as usual.  It is often depicted with the Egyptian Phoenix.  Here are some interesting facts about the Phoenix: At first its name wasn’t Phoenix but Bennu and it was a representation of the Sun-God Ra’s soul. This bird was worshiped as a symbol of resurrection.  It was also a god of time.  People who visited this god’s temple could marvel at the time machineries and many devices that were made to “control” the time.

Egyptian Bennu

“’The Phoenix, or Bennu is believed to be a divine bird going back to Egypt…This Phoenix destroys itself in flames and then rises from the ashes. Most occultists believe that the Phoenix is a symbol of Lucifer who was cast down in flames and who (they think) will one day rise triumphant. This, of course, also relates to the rising of Hiram Abiff, the Masonic ‘christ.’” — Burns, Masonic & Occult Symbols Illustrated, pp. 121-23 As we all know, Freemasons takes their roots from the ancient Egyptian sun worship religion.  Many times the Freemasons don’t like to be recognize right away, so they changed the Phoenix to eagle.  Now we see eagles everywhere, for example on the One Dollar bill, which is full of Masonic symbols. “These were the immortals to whom the term ‘phoenix’ was applied, and their symbol was the mysterious two-headed bird, now called an eagle , a familiar and little understood Masonic emblem .” [p. 108; Emphasis added] Albert Pike, in Magnum Opus, writes, “… the Eagle was the living Symbol of Egyptian God Mendes … and the representative of the Sun …” [p. xviii] In one sentence, we see the admission that the Phoenix Bird of Ancient Satanic Egypt was changed into the Masonic Eagle and then Pike admits that the Eagle is the Symbol of the Sun God and of the God of Mendes, both symbols being common Satanic symbols of Satan/Lucifer ! — http://www.whale.to

The Freemasonry source above openly explain what this symbol is.  If you replace the word eagle with the name Lucifer, it changes everything.

It is also believed by many that the symbol of the double headed eagle and its meaning evolved from the symbol of the two-faced Janus.  Janus was a two faced Roman god.  Each face had a meaning.  One side looked towards the past while the other side looked towards the future.  Janus was a god of beginning and transitions, it is believed that this is why the Romans called their first month after his name Ianuarius – our January.  This god had another place in people’s hearts as well.  He was an authority to look up to in time of war, or when new babies were born.  Also he was a patron for travels and trades.  This symbol was welcomed and worshiped at the beginning of each Roman religious ceremony throughout the year even if the celebration itself was connected to other gods.  Since Janus was a god who opened and closed doors to the many paths in peoples life, he was very often portrayed with a key in his hand.  There is also another deity that has been pictured with a key in hand.  This goddess was named Cybele.  She was called the mother of all gods.  Later people started to connect these two gods together.  For example, Cybele held the keys to earth while Janus held the key (a trident at times) to the skies and released the dawn.  This way we now have two gods with a similar purpose.

I chose this particular image because it has so many symbols to dissect.  I will dissect the symbols and extrapolate as I go.  In the middle we see Janus/Cybele with a key in one hand and a trident in the other hand.  The trident is another interesting symbol that I suggest you all to research.  You can find it not only with Odin, Zeus, and other god’s, but the symbol of trident itself can be found in many catholic churches today.  Many saints as well as the statues of Mary and Jesus Christ himself are shown with a trident.

Janus/Cybele – IHS

As you may know or not, the symbol of a trident can literally be an actual trident as well as a hand signal. In the image above, not only is there a trident coming out of the baby Jesus’ head, but He is making the hand signal of a trident.

How about the circle logo?  It probably represent a sun disk. Lets not forget the famous I.H.S.  The church states that I.H.S. means “Iesus Hominium Salvator – Jesus the Saviour of men.”  However there are a lot of skeptics who point out that the meaning of this acronym does not stand for anything close to what the church says it does.  It stands for the Egyptian trinity.  I – Isis, H – Horus, S – Set.  This trinity was worshiped by Egypt for many many years.  The Roman Emperor, Constantine the Great was so fascinated by the Egyptian culture that he worshipped same gods as they did.  He introduced pagan symbols to the Roman christians and found a way to combine the two religions in many ways.  This is an example of one way he combined, and now we see this in many Roman catholic churches around the world. While I am on the subject, it is worth mentioning another acronym that is very often used.  The Bible states in John 19:19 that on Jesus’ cross it was written “Jesus of Nazareth the King of the Jews.”  This is in direct contrast to what is written under the crucifixes  found in many different denominational churches – I.N.R.I.  Webster’s dictionary states that I.N.R.I. means Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum.  However… the Jesuit Order oath tell us something completely different.  To the Jesuits, I.N.R.I. means Iustum, Necare, Reges, Impios – “It is just to exterminate or annihilate impious or heretical kings, governments or rulers.”  I encourage you to read this oath  on your own time just to see how it has no Christian values at all.  Remember that the word Christian means “Little Christ”.  That means that we should be striving to be like Him and representing Him in our lives the best we can.  Here is an excerpt from the Jesuit oath: “I do further promise and declare that I will, when opportunity presents, make and wage relentless war, secretly and openly, against all heretics, Protestants and Masons, as I am directed to do, to extirpate them from the face of the whole earth; and that I will spare neither age, sex nor condition, and that will hang, burn, waste, boil, flay, strangle, and bury alive these infamous heretics; rip up the stomachs and wombs of their women, and crush their infants’ heads against the walls in order to annihilate their execrable race. That when the same cannot be done openly I will secretly use the poisonous cup, the strangulation cord, the steel of the poniard, or the leaden bullet, regardless of the honour, rank, dignity or authority of the persons, whatever may be their condition in life, either public or private, as I at any time may be directed so to do by any agents of the Pope or Superior of the Brotherhood of the Holy Father of the Society of Jesus.” — It is a part of the U.S. House Congressional Record, 1913, p. 3216.  The oath was originally made public in the year 1883. How in the world this is way of a Christ?!   Lastly the symbol above has and outer “clam-like” shell.  The clam shell could represent the birth of Venus. “Venus Anadyomene (“Venus Rising From the Sea”) is one of the iconic representations of Aphrodite, made famous in much-admired painting by Apelles, now lost, but described in Pliny’s Natural History, with the anecdote that the great Apelles employed Campaspe, a mistress of Alexander the Great, for his model. According to Athenaeus, the idea of Aphrodite rising from the sea was inspired by the courtesan Phryne, who, during the time of the festivals of the Eleusinia and Poseidonia, often swam nude in the sea. A scallop shell, often found in Venus Anadyomenes, is a symbol of the female vulva.” – Wikipedia

Ok, so where else in the church can we find a two headed eagle/janus/to keys? Who else carries two keys?

How about  the Pope?  The Pope — who is “like god” to many nations, holds keys supposedly after Peter, the apostle of Jesus Christ.  Keys to what?  Heaven, hell?  Its interesting to note that in the Bible, Jesus Himself says:

John 10:9

I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.   Since Jesus, the Son of God, is the door, then only He is the holder of keys to Heaven and hell no one else, especially not a human being.  Many will never see these type of connections.  It bothers me how Christianity has been so polluted by the mixing of pagan traditions and doctrines which God himself hates so much (See the 4th commandment).  This is honestly the main reason I began to look into all of these symbols and see how the traditions and doctrines of men have utterly corrupted the instructions given to us by God.
