The confusion between The Second Coming and Armageddon

While the Second Coming of Christ is clearly a spiritual event about salvation, it has been misunderstood or misrepresented by several Christian groups throughout history. In many of these teachings, Armageddon becomes synonymous with Christ's return, emphasizing divine judgment and the defeat of evil rather than focusing on the message of love, grace, and salvation that Jesus brought.

The mother goddess in Mesoamerica

The concept of a global Mother Goddess cult that believed it was a Goddess that is the source of creation as we know it, seems a strong one. As is the notion that it used very similar iconography and conceptualisations, which started quite vague and simplistic, but developed in complexity over time, and existed from the Palaeolithic to at least the end of the Bronze Age. This came to be replaced, often by force, by a patriarchal focussed cult which has resulted in most of the worlds religions we see today.
