Later today on the Gnostic Warrior Radio Show and Podcast we have the pleasure of interviewing author Robert W. Sullivan IV. Robert is a philosopher, historian, antiquarian, jurist, theologian, writer, and lawyer who will discuss the esoteric doctrines contained in his new book “The Royal Arch of Enoch: The Impact of Masonic Ritual, Philosophy, and Symbolism.” The video below by Robert was taken in the library of the Scottish Rite Temple, Baltimore, Maryland, USA where he explains his book which is the result of over twenty years of research that is a true life “Da Vinci Code/National Treasure.”
“And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.” — Genesis 5:24. The Royal Arch of Enoch: The Impact of Masonic Ritual, Philosophy, and Symbolism documents an undiscovered historical anomaly: how a high degree Masonic Ritual — developed in France in the mid 1700’s — included elements of the Book of Enoch (a/k/a I Enoch) which was considered lost until Freemason and traveler James Bruce returned to Europe with copies from Ethiopia in 1773. These copies were not translated into English until 1821 at Oxford University. This high degree ritual — titled The Royal Arch of Enoch — documents the recovery of the “Lost Word of a Master Mason“, the Name of God.
It is this ritual in particular that has defined, among other things, the American national character. The Royal Arch of Enoch also documents the symbolic restoration of the sun as the premier icon in all of Freemasonry and as the supreme emblem of imperial administration and religiosity lifted from the Ancient Mysteries, incorporated in the Abrahamic faiths, and carried on in both Blue Lodge and High Degree Masonry.

“Concerning these things will I speak, and these things will I explain unto you, my children: I am Enoch. In consequence of that which has been shown to me, from my heavenly vision and from the voice of the holy angels, I have acquired knowledge, and from the tablet of heaven have I acquired understanding.”- Book of Enoch, Verse III
(Part II of Who were the Nephilim? By Moe) – After the Exodus, Cain had built a city calling it by the name of his son Enoch, or the City of Discipline and Training. His father Cain is known for killing his brother Abel and was cursed seven times over by the Lord. The LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him. 1 6 11 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD. This was the time when Cain had left his homeland and went into the “Land of Nod” on the east of Eden, where he built a city, and called it after the name of his son Enoch.
Enoch (Hebrew: חֲנוֹךְ, ModernH̱anokhTiberianḤănōḵ; Arabic: إدريس ʼIdrīs) was said to be the first-born son of Cain through Seth, and great-grandson of Noah. He is the seventh progenitor of the race in the “book of the generations of Adam.” Enoch was a warrior and a builder of cities. In Mohammedan Literature, he is known to the Mohammedans as “Idris” (the Instructor), a man of truth and a prophet, raised by Allah to a lofty place, and as a model of patience. Baidawi, in identifying him with Enoch, explains “Idris” as indicating his knowledge of divine mysteries.
MEANING OF THE LAND OF NOD
The meaning of the name ‘Nod’ varies depending on the language. For example, in Greek the noun ‘nod’ is spelled “χώρα του ύπνου ουσ.θηλ,” meaning the “land of sleep,” and the verb Nod is spelled “μεταφορικά κουτουλάω (από τη νύστα) ρ.αμ,” which means to fall asleep. Hence, to the Ancient Greeks, “The Land of Nod” refers to the mythical land of sleep, which today in English would be akin to when someone suddenly goes to sleep and “Nods off”. These were the children of Cain who had turned their faces away from the LORD, love and light in the garden of Eden of the East (Right brain Spirit, Reason and Love), and were cursed to be wanderers in the West (Left Hemisphere Brain of Intellect and Materialism ) and to spiritually go to “asleep in the land of Nod.” A magickal curse was cast upon the race of Cain which placed them in spiritual darkness for seven generations.
Nay, even while Adam was alive, it came to pass that the posterity of Cain became exceedingly wicked, every one successively dying one after the other, more wicked than the former. They were intolerable in war, and vehement in robberies; and if any one were slow to murder people, yet was he bold in his profligate behaviour, in acting unjustly, and doing injury for gain.
These stories about Cain and his children indicate a change in how the world and human race was governed, in which it went from a spiritually religious government based on the Mosaic Laws, to a more material government based on selfishness, materialism and Roman Law or the Rule of Law. Hence, it was after this time that the Cainanites became merchants and murderer scapegoats of Israel who had spiritually went to sleep because of the curse of the LORD. A curse that still lasts to this day.
Cain had two children, Lamech and Zillah who then gave birth to “Tubal Cain” who is described in Genesis 4:22 as the “forger of all instruments of bronze and iron” (ESV), or an “instructer of every artificer in brass and iron” (KJV). Tubal Cain is the widow’s son who originally was “a sharpener”—one who whets or sharpens instruments. The name Tubal comes from the Hebrew verb (yabal), meaning to bring, carry, lead, conduct, and is also explained as meaning, “to cause to transport an object from one place to another.” The the name Cain may be derived from the Egyptian “ka or ba” meaning ‘soul.’
In Hebrew, the meaning of the word Nod is related to the participle דנ in 4:12 which the LXX translated as τρέμων (trembling). “Nod” (נוד) is the Hebrew root of the verb “to wander” (לנדוד). Therefore, to dwell in the land of Nod is usually taken to mean that one takes up a wandering life. Hence, the Land of Nod is known as an allegorical code for the “Land of Shaking”, which must mean Nod was known for its earthquakes. A big clue to where Cain had brought his people after he went out from the presence of the Lord. This land I believe was actually the fifth largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, known today as Crete in the country of Greece. An island that is one of the most earthquake active in all the lands of the Mediterranean, with a deep history of many earthquakes and natural catastrophes that have left the land in trembling state. A land that may very well be the Land of Nod.
MEANING OF THE NAME ENOCH
The name ‘Enoch (e’nok)’ is derived from the Hebrew (Phoenician) word ‘Henoch (or Onech),” and means “one trained up” or ‘initiated.’ The closely related Semitic word, ‘Enos’ means pro-eminently, “The Man : that is, the Messenger; the Man of men.” Hence, Enoch is a “title or given name,” and not an actual birth name of a singular person. 33rd Degree Freemason, Many P Hall said this about Enoch in his book, Secret Teachings of All Ages;
According to Freemasonic symbolism, Enoch, fearing that all knowledge of the sacred Mysteries would be lost at the time of the Deluge, erected the two columns mentioned in the quotation. Upon the metal column in appropriate allegorical symbols he engraved the secret reaching and upon the marble column placed an inscription stating that a short distance away a priceless treasure would be discovered in a subterranean vault. After having thus faithfully completed his labors, Enoch was translated from the brow Of Mount Moriah. In time the location of the secret vaults was lost, but after the lapse of ages there came another builder–an initiate after the order of Enoch–and he, while laying the foundations for another temple to the Great Architect of the Universe, discovered the long-lost vaults and the secrets contained within.
The symbol of Enoch is the Phenoch (or Phenoch, Phinoach, and Phanak), or the magnificent immortal bird known to us today as the ‘Phoenix.’ The phoenix is an allegorical fire bird of time, signifying re-birth and resurrection out of its own ashes. It is the symbol of the messenger, and especially more of the Sixth race, the offspring of Phen. The phoenix also symbolizes a secret cycle and initiation used by various cultures around the world to delineate a historical age. This is interesting, because in the 2012 closing Olympic Ceremonies, there was a massive phoenix on display that was lit up with thousands of lights. Could this symbolize the end of the sixth age and the beginning of a new era?
In the Ethiopic Books of Enoch, in Gen. v. 24 we find that “Enoch walked with God” and “God took him.” Jewish legends of Enoch describe him as a man, credited with superhuman knowledge, and the “Visions of Enoch” describe the secret Mysteries of Initiation, one of which is the Burning Valley of the “Fallen Angels.” In the Book of Enoch, Mount Hermon is the place where the “Watchers, Sons of God or the Nephilim,” a class of fallen angels descended to Earth. The Anak or the Anakim were the descendants of the Nephilim that were seen by Jacob when he described giants in the land of Canaan. Enoch’s Angels, the Sons of God (Nephilim) who saw that the daughters of men were fair (Gen., vi.), and who married them and taught the daughters of Earth the secrets of Heaven. Mount Hermon is located at 33 degrees latitude and longitude, and this region has long been associated with the Nephilim. Mount Hermon is where the Phoenician Prince Cadmus and the Cadmonites had inhabited, which was in the Land of Canaan. Cadmus whose name means ‘son’, was also known by the name Hermes, and just like Enoch, Hermes is the initiator, an intermediate agent between mankind. Herodotus had called Hermes, Mercury. He was usually depicted carrying a caduceus, and in Greek, Caduceus means magic wand, and why we always see him carrying his magic double DNA serpent wand, which is the symbol of immortality. Helena Petrovna Blavatsky gives us the meaning as well, in her book, The Secret Doctrine: Anthropogenesis;
Enoch is the type of the dual nature of man—spiritual and physical. Hence he occupies the centre of the Astronomical Cross, as given by Eliphas Levi from a secret work, which is a Six-pointed Star, the “Adonai.” In the upper angle of the upper Triangle is the Eagle; in the left, lower angle stands the Lion; in the right, the Bull; while between the Bull and the Lion, over them and under the Eagle, is the face of Enoch or Man.’ Now the figures on the upper Triangle represent the Four Races, omitting the First, the Chhayas or Shadows, and the “Son of Man,” Enos or Enoch, is in the centre, where he stands between the Fourth and the Fifth Races, for he represents the Secret Wisdom of both. These are the four Animals of Ezekiel and of the Revelation. The Double Triangle…

Christ said: ‘Thou art Peter (Petros), and upon this Rock (Petra) will I build my Church.’
It is said that the power of the Roman and Eastern Papacy had been established with the magical words said above by Christ to Saint Peter. It is the mystery behind these allegorical words where we can discover the true light of what is symbolically meant by Christ when he had stated that he will build his church upon a rock.
The Rock (Petra) where Christ said he would build his church can be found on a sandy high-road between Arabia and Syria in a tract of ancient Judea. It was once called “The Rose Red City of Esau”. It is this magnificent Biblical town of Edom where we can find the territory that was allotted to Jacob’s brother Esau (Genesis 36), and also the capital of the Nabateans where the Edomites, or in Greek the ‘Idumeans’ had lived. Today the lost rock city is known by its Greek name of Petra that represents Zeus Peter (Ju’Piter/Ju-Peter), or in English Peter which means “the rock” or “the father.”
Matthew 16:18 – And I tell you that you are PETRA (Peter), and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.
On the great Treasury of the Pharaoh is the figure of Isis as they both face the rising sun in the East. Petra via the Mother Isis is the successor to Christ as the infallible head of the church, who has power and authority over all the other apostles and the entire church. It is Peter who has the keys to unlock and lock the kingdom of heaven and hell to anyone as he chose, and it is under the spell of Isis that the gates of Hades will not overcome it. (more…)

For the first time in the history of the Catholic Church, the Vatican announced this past week that they will be placing the holy remains of St. Peter on display for the world to witness. The bones of St. Peter were first discovered in June of 1968 in a Roman cemetery in the city of the Vatican. He had died 1,950 years ago and was one of the first Christian martyrs.
Before I continue with the details surrounding this most historic event, I would like to provide you some past history with a quote from Ezekiel 37:1-14, that appears to mention these days. It is known as “The Valley of Dry Bones.”
Then he said to me: “Son of man, these bones are the people of Israel. They say, ‘Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.’ 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel.
I believe this event is significant due to the fact that there are signs in the bible, such as the one I quoted above that relates to the land of Israel and the bones. St Peter had said when speaking to the Jews; “the times of refreshing shall come, as in that these dry bones represented the whole house of Israel, and that as the dry bones were made to live, so the time shall come when dispersed Judah and outcast Israel shall be converted to God and live. This is the time of which St Peter speaks of; “the time of reanimation, or the refreshing, and the Times of the Restitution of all Things, (A8s iii. 21.).” This is connected to the prophecy with the second advent of Christ where it is written; “there shall come out of Zion the deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.”
DETAILS ABOUT THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF ST. PETER’S BONES
The bones of St. Peter will go on display November 24th. They will be displayed in St Peter’s Square at a Mass celebrated by Pope Francis to conclude the Year of Faith.
Last week, Archbishop Rino Fisichella, president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting New Evangelization; wrote that the Catholic faithful making a pilgrimage to St. Peter’s tomb to mark the end of the Year of Faith will enjoy “the exposition … of the relics traditionally recognized as those of the apostle who gave his life for the Lord on this spot.”
According to the Guardian, Fisichella said the decision to display the relics was not to spark debate over their authenticity.
He said the bones hold “symbolic” and “underlying theological value” despite what any scientific tests may show.
“For the first time, the relics of the apostle will be displayed for the veneration of believers.(1)
RELATED HISTORY AND CURRENT WORLD WIDE EVENTS
These announcements fall close to the day of dedication for the churches of SS Peter and Paul at Rome which was on November 18th. It took over 100 years to build St. Peter’s Basilica and was consecrated on November 18, 1626 by Pope Urban VIII. It is the largest Catholic Church in the world, holding over 60,000 people.
The First St. Peter’s had been erected by Constantine in about 315 c.e. to honor the bones of Peter. On November 18, 326, the church was consecrated by Pope St. Sylvester in presence of the Emperor Constantine and Court on November 18, 324.(2)
The date that they will display the bones is the 24th of November, which has a connecting thread to history with the year 380 A.D. when Roman Emperor Theodosius I had made his adventus, or formal entry into Constantinople. The adventus was a military ceremony in ancient Rome, in which an emperor was formally welcomed into a city, either during a progress or after a military campaign, often (but not always) Rome. Theodosius I (Latin: Flavius Theodosius Augustus;11 January 347 – 17 January 395), also known as Theodosius the Great, was Roman Emperor from 379 to 395. Theodosius was the last emperor to rule over both the eastern and the western halves of the Roman Empire. (Wikipedia)
His social transformation was a pivotal, if under-recognized, milestone in European history, it parted with the Roman slavery and inaugurated a feudal society.
In addition, these connections in time with the beginning of Roman dominion and a feudal society, we have matching dates with biblical passages that refer to the Son of man; these bones are the people of Israel coupled with the Vatican’s announcement on St. Peter. Last but not least, there is also next week’s historic summit between Pope Francis and Russian President Vladmir Putin. An event, that is marked as the most important meeting between Rome and Russia in a quarter of a century.
Rome, Italy, Nov 11, 2013 / 03:48 pm (CNA).- Pope Francis will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Nov. 25 at the Vatican, according to the director of the Holy See’s Press Office, Father Federico Lombardi.
On the following day, the Pontiff will meet with the President of Italy, Giorgio Napolitano.
The first meeting between Pope Francis and the Russian president comes after the Holy Father sent Putin a letter on Sept. 5, at the opening of the G-20 summit, calling on the group’s leaders to set aside the “useless” search for a military solution to the conflict in Syria and to pursue a peaceful resolution through dialogue and negotiation.
In February 2011, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev had a half hour meeting with Benedict XVI at the Vatican, which was two years after Russia had established full diplomatic relations with the Holy See in 2009, and just this year in May, Russia had appointed an ambassador to the Holy See.
ST PETER IN THE CHURCH
The English Peter is derived from the Latin “petra”, from the Greek word πέτρος (petros) meaning “stone” and also Father. Peter is the Rock, which the Catholic Church was built. This is confirmed by Jesus Christ who had said; ‘Thou art Peter (Petros), and upon this Rock (Petra) will I build my Church.’ Saint Peter would be the Father of the Catholic Church via the New Testament, and his predecessor was King David; the Father of the Old Testament. These facts are described by Saint Bede who had written;
‘Thou art Peter, and upon this Rock from which thou didst receive thy name, that is, upon Me Myself, I will build My Church. Upon this perfection of faith which thou didst confess I will build My Church, and if anyone turns aside from the society of this confession, even though it may seem to him that he does great things, he will not belong to the building which is My Church,;: [“Homily I.165, Aftr Epiphany,” Homilies on the Gospels,Bk. One. 163.]
As I mentioned above, St Peter when speaking to the Jews had said, “the times of refreshing shall come”. “The time of reanimation, or refreshing,” which is connected in prophecy with the second advent of Christ,’ as it is written; “There shall come out of Zion the deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.”
The hand of the Lord was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. 2 He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. 3 He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”
I said, “Sovereign Lord, you alone know.”
Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! 5 This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath[a] enter you, and you will come to life. 6 I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’”
So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. 8 I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.
Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’” 10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army.
Then he said to me: “Son of man, these bones are the people of Israel. They say, ‘Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.’ 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel. 13 Then you, my people, will know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves and bring you up from them. 14 I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken, and I have done it, declares the Lord.’”

The reason I often talk about DNA, blood, and my ancestors is because I’m very interested in where my ancient family had come from and where they have been. This DNA leaves me a trail of clues to search for the truth of my true origins. It helps me get educated, not only on who they were and what they had done, but it also assists in helping me understand who I Am and why I do the things I do.
This research is really some of the most soul fulfilling stuff that I have ever done in my life. I really suggest that some of you do the same kind of research into your own DNA. If you need help, please shoot me an email or comment here.
You see, maybe like you, I really do not have many “real friends” to discuss these subjects with, other than my beautiful wife whom is my biggest fan. She is awesome and I absolutely love talking to her, but having a blog helps me reach other individuals around the world who may also care about what I have to say, and others who may at least be interested in some of the topics I write about. In addition, I want to know if I’m right or wrong so I can be challenged by anyone out there in the world, since there is not a soul other than mine or my wife that I can bounce or debate these ideas off of.
Yes, I’m a loner and introvert as well. Two traits that actually serve me well in this dog eat dog world.
My motives are simply self discovery and truth about the past, since I have been lied to since birth. Both advertently and inadvertently. My work is NOT about me, but just the truth and knowledge. If you think it is, then you are falsely judging me based on your own views of the world, in which you are falsely projecting on me. Hence, this is about my Gnosis and not yours, which most people, even self-proclaimed modern Gnostics do not understand. These articles I write about DNA, blood, and my ancestors more often than not, only makes me more enemies that I do not wish to have, nor offend, but it is what it is and all I can do is keep following my heart and yes, my blood. A heart that has been ripped from my soul, and all I wish to do is unite the two in holy matrimony.
The reason I publish my research and Gnosis is so others can learn from what I have done, or at the very least, I can give you some good ideas on how to achieve your own Gnostic Warrior life. The path to Gnosis is never easy, and the only true way to attain it is through your own hard work, blood, a good heart, and knowledge of the right subjects that fit your exact DNA profile. Yes, there are those words blood and DNA again….
I do not do write these articles to say, “Hey look at me or hey look at my ancestors.” To think that way of me is understandable because it may appear like this to an outsider judging me or someone of another race. But the facts are, that is just “their opinion,” and in the end, it is only an opinion based on their ignorance of my heart.
This false opinion about my work is simply not true and they do not know me or my motives. This is why I just like to hang out with my wife and kids who love me unconditionally and do not judge me by my every word or breathe. 99% of humanity will not love me unconditionally. Hence, why I like to be a loner with a blog and podcast 😉
