Apollyon Rising 2012: The Lost Symbol Found and the Final Mystery of the Great Seal Revealed

This book came tattered. Ripped out pages and marked up. Very disappointed!!!!

Apollyon Rising 2012 is Dr. Horn's Magnum Opus in my opinion. It is very well researched and has extensive foot noting. I feel it is a must read for all christians as well as Americans. The subject matter covers America's occult origns and the Illuminati plans/timeline for the return of their god Osiris/Nimrod/Apollo. Get your copy today ! If the Illuminati are successful, then this WILL affect you. Kevin W.

"Something this way wicked comes," writes the author in describing the future for America and the world. The line is from Shakespeare's Macbeth, in which a witch pronounces Macbeth a traitor and a murderer. But Shakespeare's darkest literary revelation can't begin to rival the ominous unveiling Tom Horn performs in Apollyon Rising 2012: The Lost Symbol Found and the Final Mystery of the Great Seal Revealed. This is no play dreamed up by the Bard. There is, in reality, indeed something wicked headed in this direction. Apollyon Rising forewarns of its approach in a way totally unique in my experience as a writer/researcher of matters involving eschatology--the study of end times. I sense that Horn's book is destined to garner great interest from all quarters of the halls of intellectual curiosity, not just from those fascinated with Bible prophecy or prophecy in general. The author tells of awakening one night in a swirl of epiphany, his hours of research congealing into the realization that specific, controlled versions of American history had kept him "in the dark, blinded from the actual course that a frightening network of hidden powers had set our nation upon years before." Suddenly, Horn relates, "pieces of the puzzle began rapidly falling into place. Things were making sense now--world affairs, changes to U.S. domestic and foreign policy, a renewed focus on the Middle East, Israel, Iran, Iraq, [and] Babylon..." The preface to Horn's book states the end to his long-time skepticism of conspiratorial claims of the dark forces shaping and molding America's and the world's geopolitical configuration for the future course of history. He then writes: As outlined in this book, the startling truths behind the clandestine society that helped frame the United States and placed within the Great Seal a prophetic secret doctrine can finally be understood. What even the best researchers of the Illuminati and veiled fraternities such as the Freemasons were never able to fully decipher is spelled out herein for the first time. The power at work behind global affairs and why current planetary powers are hurriedly aligning for a new order from chaos is exposed. Perhaps most incredibly, one learns how ancient prophets actually foresaw and forewarned of this time. My reading confirms for me the truth of this declaration. Like Horn, I have always been leery of conspiratorial thought with regard to caliginous cabals shaping the destiny of man. The author's truly unprecedented look into the spiritual influences upon the world--and particularly on America's founding and course since--points to the truth in God's Word, the Bible, that the struggle is against supernatural wickedness in high places. The author's in-depth treatment brilliantly illuminates the evil involved in a devilish master plan rooted in ancient times and becoming ever more manifest in this troubled hour. Reading Apollyon Rising exposes the supernatural as well as humanistic blueprint

Though the summary of Freemason symbolism and its influence on the United States was very interesting, the most important part of the book to me was the tying together of the same basic message from every major pagan system out there (Freemasons, Aztecs, Mayans, Egyptian mythology, Roman mythology, Greek mythology, Babylonian mythology, Sumerian mythology): 2012 is the climax they've been looking forward to since the beginning of civilization. Prepare to have you mind blown.

Thomas Horn methodically dissects and analyzes the occult symbolism built into the layout, architecture, and artwork of Washington, D.C. and the Great Seal of the United States, concluding that 18th century Freemasons were aware of and influenced by such varied sources as the ancient prophecies of Apollonian sibyls, Egyptian mysticism, Sir Francis Bacon's utopian novel 'The New Atlantis', and the Mayan/Incan calendar. With all due respect to the reviewer who found this book to be a rehash of previously researched material, Horn's analysis of the Mayan and Incan calendars in the context of the Freemasonic symbolism suffusing Washington, D.C. leads him to a startling conclusion: the purpose of the layout of Washington, and especially the Capitol dome and the obelisk of the Washington Monument, is to effect a magickal "working" that occultists believe will result in the rebirth of a golden child -- Apollo/Osiris/Marduk/Nimrod -- who will herald the return of his father Saturn's reign. Highly recommended.

This book was released to follow the hotly anticipated disaster movie "2012", which started worldwide theatrical release November 13. NASA's senior scientist for its Astrobiology Institute, David Morrison in a Skeptic Magazine article responded angrily recently to the film's viral marketing campaign, saying it exploits people's fears about the end of the Mayan "long count" calendar, Dec. 21, 2012, as leading to global catastrophe. This comes despite the fact that in 2006, NASA published a report of its own by Mausumi Dikpati of the National Center for Atmospheric Research on what could be the most apocalyptic solar storm since records began approximately four hundred years ago, scheduled to reach solar maximum in the year 2012. According to internationally recognized researcher and author of Apollyon Rising 2012: The Lost Symbol Found and the Final Mystery of the Great Seal Revealed, Thomas Horn, the biggest secrets related to the year 2012 and the so-called 'new order of the ages' have been hidden in plain sight for over two-hundred years in Washington DC and at the Vatican. That secret has to do with what numerous ancient societies (and there were plenty according to Horn) believed about this year--that it forecast when "the gods" would return to earth, heralding the start of a new pagan golden age. "From Christians to New Agers, skeptics to historians, the world is presently enthralled with the meaning of the year 2012," Horn says. "In general, the excitement [or dread, as the case may be] surrounds a variety of predictions made by ancient and modern sources concerning a portentous moment in time. Mankind is on course toward unprecedented global upheaval, according to these experts, when the earth and all life on it will undergo transformation marked by the end of the thirteenth baktun of the Mesoamerican Mayan Long Count. " The exact end date of the Mayan calendar is December 21, 2012, when during the winter solstice at 11:11 GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) the sun will align with the galactic center of the Milky Way galaxy, an event that occurs only every thirteen thousand years. The precession of the equinoxes will conclude a twenty-six-thousand-year cycle, bringing the astrological Age of Pisces to an end and introducing the beginning of Aquarius, when the next cycle begins and the sun rises out of the mouth of the Ouroboros (great serpent of the Milky Way). "This is the sun rising in Sagittarius, the centaur with a bow--the symbol for Nimrod coming out from the mouth of Leviathan and the sun `god' rising again--Nimrod/Osiris/Apollo," Horn adds. Like the Aztec and Inca, the Maya believed earth seasons and celestial cycles were affected by otherworldly and prophetic importance. Mayan priests interpreted such activity and coupled it with the mathematics of their calendars, making predictions based on the terrestrial and celestial cycles. So far, the only known Mayan inscription that elaborates on the specific significance behind the end of t
