GOD AND GEOMETRY (iconographic prophecy) Petko Nikolic Vidusa Kitchener, Canada, 2009
"The LORD has sworn and will not change his mind: ‘You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.’”. (Psal.110,4)
Melhizedek, 16th century fresco, St. Ferapont Belozero Monastery, Russia “Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High, and he blessed Abram saying: ‘Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth. And blessed be God most High who delivered your enemies into your hand.’ Then Abram give him tenth of everything.” (Gen.14,18-20) “This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him, and Abraham gave him tenth of everything. First, his name means “king of righteousness”; then also “king of Salem” means “king of peace”. Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God he remains a priest forever.” (Heb.7,1-3) 1

Ancient of Days, Georgian fresco, 14th century “I beheld until the thrones were set, and Ancient of days sat; and his raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head as a pure wool: his throne was a flame of fire, and his wheels burning fire. A stream of fire rushed forth before him: thousands ministered to him, and ten thousands of myriads attended upon him: the judgment sat, and the books were opened…” (Septuagint Bible, Dan.7,9) “I beheld in the night vision, and, lo, one coming with the clouds of heaven as the Son of man, and he come on the Ancient of days, and was brought near to him. And to him was given dominion, and the honour, and kingdom; and all dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not be destroyed.” (Dan.7.13) nations, tribes, and languages, shall serve him: his dominion is on everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not be destroyed.” (Septuagint Bible, Dan.7,13) 5

Ascension of Jesus Christ and two Aliens (angels) dressed in white After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. There were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them: “Man of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.” (Acts,1,9-13) 19

The earth is God’s footstool
Te leaf (boss) in the Antechamber of the Great Pyramid: the sign of the earth. “This is what the Lord says: Heaven is may throne, and the earth is my footstool …” (Isa. 66,1) “But I tell you, Do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; or by the earth, for it is his footstool,…” (Mat.5,34-35) 32
Jesus Christ in glory “Then there came a voice from above the expanse over their heads as they stood with lowered wings. Above the expanse over their heads was what looked like a throne of sapphire, and high above on the throne was figure like that of a man. I sow that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded him. Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on rainy day, so was the radiance around him. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord.� (Ezek.1,25-28)
33
Clouds of glory The glory on clouds can show many rings when the clouds are made of uniform water droplets. Sometimes the rings fluctuate wildly in size. This happens when the plane skirts a canyon of clouds and its shadow comes and goes. Why? We do not know. It wasn't a rainbow. It's called a "glory", and is formed in a somewhat different way than rainbows. They both are due to water droplets suspended in the air, but the glory is not due to the simple refraction of light like a rainbow; the light is also "back-scattered" .We can predict glories using a complicated mathematical model (MiePlot simulations); we can create glories in the laboratory but we do not understand the physics behind the phenomenon. These modern time has proved and foreseen the truth of the Ezekiel’s prophecy. 34

THE END OF AGE
91 units (“rooms”) The three pyramids of Giza are located on Earth just as the three stars in the belt of Orion. From the western side of the middle pyramid, that corresponds to the middle star of Orion’s belt, Alnilam (ε Ori), there are 91 units or “rooms”. 38
These 91 units show that this star will be by 91º away (1 unit = 1º ) from North celestial pole at the time of the End of the World (20002070 AD). Current position is very close to 91º (exactly 91º = 2037 AD): “If the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive.” (Mark,13,20) “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” (Mat.24,36)

The Last Judgment, Christ holding the Sword, fresco 14th century, Dechani Monastery, Kosovo, Serbia “See, the Lord is coming with fire, and his chariots are like a whirlwind; he will bring down his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. For with fire and with his sword the Lord will execute judgment upon all man, and many will be those slain by the Lord.” (Isa.66,1515) “Lift up a standard on the mountain of the plain, exalt the voice to them, beckon with the hand, open the gates, ye rulers. I give command, and I bring them: giants are coming to fulfil my wrath, rejoicing at the same time and insulting. A voice of many nations on the mountains, even like to that of many nations; a voice of kings and nations gathered together: the Lord of host has given command to a war-like nation, to come from a land afar off, from the utmost foundation of heaven; the Lord and his warriors are coming to destroy all the world.“ 40
