KoReY Interstellar Society - Cultural Engineering Integration
Plan
KoReY Heritage Worlds:
THE CULTURAL TIME PERIODS OF OUR INTERSTELLAR SOCIETY!
The Judeo-Christian Heritage and its Divine Culture develop New
Tribes of Israel in Space.
So, where will KoReY's Culture and Society come from? Obviously, we
did not develop from a vacuum. Many other Lands and Peoples of Planet
Earth helped to contibute to it (as well as some of the best of the
Science Fiction Worlds). Consequently, we expect these Cultural
Sources to be among the dominate sub-cultures of Our own Interstellar
Society. So, take a look at Our Heritage Worlds (which are based on
the common Judeo-Christian Heritage--and its Divien Culture) and see
where you might fit in.
For, who knows, perhaps you will be inspired to become one of Our
creative and gifted talents that will help to produce the artworks and
other cultural mediums for the expression of this Divine Culture of
Ours! Or, maybe you will just feel right at home in one of Our Space
Colonies, that centers on one of these cultural themes? So, come on
in! And enjoy!!!
ASTARIAN CULTURAL TIME PERIODS
As we survey the whole history of Mankind on Earth (and especially that
of Western Civilization), we can identify about a dozen major cultural
groups that contributed to Astarian Society (or KoReY). As these
progressed through time, we can also ascribe Tribal Identity to each
one (sequentially), as one of the Future Tribes of Israel in Our
Coming Interstellar Realm. Consequently, we do, indeed, expect them to be
strong social forces among us and to use their cultural energies to
help build up Our larger Society, as a united whole! (Hence, their
inclusion as Tribal elements of Our Great Council--see
Law 5d4b in Our Divine Law
Library for details.)
*** SO, WHERE DO I FIT IN??? *** Well, look...
Now, how did God lay out the development of Divine Culture in the
Plans for the History of Mankind? Well, He showed the Prophet Daniel
(in the vision of the image or statue) that HE intended there to be 4
Universal Empires, eventually followed by a 5th. In between is a Time
out of Time, composed of 7 Ages, which are covered in the first few
chapters of Revelation. All totalled, these make up Our 12 Heritage
Worlds (or Cultural Time Periods). So, let us see what God is trying
to teach us in these Cultural Lessons. And how we, as individuals,
might fit into them with our own cultural heritage--as well as use
them as an Integration Plan to forge the coming KoReY cultural pot.
1. REUBEN - The GOLDEN ERA (Ancient Babylon):
STONEAGE, AFRICAN, AND INDIAN FASHIONS, STYLES, THEMES...
Our First Tribe, Reuben, reflects the Head of the Image was of Gold,
that stood for Ancient Babylon: The Universal Empire which spread out
from the Plains of Shinar (Genesis 10:9-10) to dominate the whole
early Middle East for many centuries back in Our Antiquity. Now, this
was a rather primative time, something along a caveman or Stone Age
style living or much like the anthropological hunters and gathers,
though they had learned to farm--grow crops and domesticate animals.
Yet, most importantly for civilization, they learned to build
structures, and then groups of structures, which became cities
(perhaps, something along the lines of early Native American
Culture? Or, Mound Builders?). Moreover, it was, reportedly a Black
or Hamidic Nation (Genesis 10:6-10). Thus, this tends to be Heritage
World of the more physical, mussle bound (sports orientated) sorts of
Our Realm--and especially of Blacks or Africans. (And they tend to
wear clothing of animal skins, as a symbolic of the early Adamaic
Covenant.) Some Native Americans or "Indians" usually fit in here,
too.
Our main lesson to be learned from them is to keep Our focus on
the ONE TRUE GOD--and to worship and serve HIM! For, the Babylonians
fell away from this central truth, though it was upheld and maintaind
by 'Eber or Heber, the King of Eblah (and passed on down through his
descendants to the Hebrew Peoples).
2. SIMEON - SILVER ERA (Ancient Persia):
ARABIC AND MIDDLE EASTERN FASHIONS, STYLES, THEMES...
Our Second Tribe, Simeon, reflects the arms and shoulders of the
Statue, which were of Silver (and stood for Ancient Persia, which came
to dominate the Middles East, after Babylon). This was a bit more
advanced technology than Babylon, with extensive agriculture and the
rise of governmental engineering projects, such as we see among the
Ancient Egyptians (which came to be absorbed into the Persian Empire)
and other early Arabs (that came out of it to dominate the Middle East).
Moreover, their early bedhoin family lifestyle (like in the Days of
Abraham and the later 12 Tribes) laid the foundation for the
Patriarchial model that has been the standard among all of the
Descendants of Abraham (Jews, Christians, and Mulsims), down through
history. (For more details, see Our
PATRIARCHIAL LITERATURE) Thus, this tends to be the Heritage World
of Arabs and other Middle Eastern (or Ishmaelite) orientated people.
Now, for more info on Our Arabic or Ishmaelite Organization, which
reflects these well established Middle Eastern values and customs,
consult Our Abrahamic Peoples Section of Our
APPIRU.
Moreover, our main lesson to learn from them is to FLEE IDOLATRY!
For, the Persians (and especially the Egyptians) got into the worhsip
of false-gods (and the use of Dark Arts and Occult Sciences and
Black Magyck--which are forbidden).
3. LEVI - BRONZE ERA (Ancient Greece):
GREEK AND HELLENISTIC FASHIONS, STYLES, THEMES...
Our Third Tribe is Levi, and as the stomach and loins of the Statue
were Bronze, this staods for Ancient Greece, which also came to
dominate the Middle East, after Ancient Persia--both by the conquests
of Alexander the Great and by the extensive Greek trade network that
they developed. This commercial network fed the wealth of Greek
merchants so that their economic influence lasted for centuries upon
centuries--which, in turn, provided the funds to support the extensive
rise of artworks and creative crafts, and projects. Consequently,
this civilization managed to sprout lots of early writing, learning
and education, and beginning scientific (and technological)
developments. Thus, it tends to be the homeland of the intellectual
and scholar.
Now, Levi was to be the Priests for the ONE TRUE GOD, but the
Greeks descerated God's Holy Name by worhsipping the Host of Heaven
(Astrology) and replacing God's Name with the Names of various Greek
gods and even godesses. They even used ORACLES to attempt to say
that God said things, or demanded that things would come to pass
(prophecy), that HE did not! (And we can all learn from their fall
into the temptaion of materialism!)
4. JUDAH - THE IRON ERA (Ancient Rome):
ROMAN AND CLASSICAL WORLD FASHIONS, STYLES, THEMES...
Our Fourth Tribe is Judah, and Following the Bronze Belly (above),
were legs of Iron, that stood for the Ancient Roman Empire, which came
to dominate the Middle East, after the fall of Ancient Greece. This
civilization produced one of the best military organizations in the
world--whose extensive conquests produced a massive government and
bureacracy to manage what had been conquered. Moreover, it has served
as the model for ideal empires ever since, in the West. Furthermore,
their building projects and public works are famous (many still
standing today--and some still usable).
Thus this tends to be the Heritage World of the military and the
bureacracy of Our Realm.
Our main lesson from them lies in the observance and keeping of
Holy Days. For they ignored the Sacred Festivals of the Scriptures,
and attempted to set up their own Feasts--even declaring themselves
to be gods and worshipped on certain special days! (And even our
modern secular calendar still reflects some of this!)
5. DAN - THE EPHESIAN CHURCH AGE (Messianic or Apostalic Church):
HEBRAIC AND JEWISH FASHIONS, STYLES, THEMES...
During the height of the Roman Empire (above), Jesus or Y'Shua was
born and died on the Cross to pay (or atone) for Man's sins. With HIS
ascension back to Heaven and the coming of Pentecost, the Church Ages
were born, in about 30 something A.D.. The first of these Ages was
Messianic (Jewish-Christian) and is sometimes refered to as the
Apostolic Age, as all of the original 12 Desciples of Christ or
Apostles were Messianics (Jewish-Christians), and clung to the Hebrew
core of the teachings of their fore-fathers. And, because of its
closeness to the Messiah's original teachings, it is often held to be
the most desirable Age. Thus, it tends to be the homeland of the
more pious and the religious reformers of Our Realm--and those of a
more Hebrew or Jewish outlook.
For more info on this Messianic Philosophy, that was the
foundation of Early Christianity, consult our Messianic Section of
EMUSPATEL.
Our lesson from them is that they lost their first love. Rather
than keeping the Love and Respect of God, they allowed materialism
and secular success to creep in and take over. And rather than
holding that respect for the Father, and his ordained authorities,
the men went off to persue their own bosees. Then, as the women saw
their husbands rebel at the Family Chain of Command, they began to
assert their own independence. Next, when the children saw the
disobedience of their mothers to their fathers, they learned to rebel
and be independent of authority, too. Thus, eventually bringing a
collapse of the Nation from a spirit of rebellion and disobedience in
the Family! (For more details, see Our WOMEN'S ISSUES Literature.)
6. NAPHTALI - THE SMYRNA CHURCH AGE (Early Roman Martyr Church):
NORDIC AND VIKING FASHIONS, STYLES, THEMES...
Our Sixth Tribe is Naphtali, and With the deaths of the Apostles
(above), and the Fall of the Jerusalem Temple (in 70 A.D.), the old
Messianic founders lost influence and a new form of Gentile
Christianity emerged. Thus, while the Messianic Era still clung to
and preserved the Hebrew roots of the Faith (though it often had
conflicts with the more Jewish Culture), the dominance of the Gentiles
began to be seen. So, with Paul's massive conversion of many Gentiles,
and the Fall of the Jewish Temple (and, thereby, its Jewish
institutions of influence), the Smyrna Age took on a very Gentile
atmosphere. In fact, the Believers of the Time became so racked by
Gentile influence that Syncretism (mixing worldly culture and Roman
gods with their Christian beliefs--thus idolatry) took firm root and
multiplied. Therefore, God came to give them over to Great
Persecutions to purge and punish them for their idolatry, and thus the
Era of Roman Martyrs was born. Moreover, with the Fall of the
Revolt of Simom Bar Kokhba (135 A.D.), Judaism firmly separated itself
from the Messianics (diminishing their power), and as a result, the
Gentile Church took on a definate non-Hebrew distinctiveness (and
perhaps, something of an anti-Semitic tone) that was to continue for
centuries! Hence, the rise of the so called Dark Ages!
Now, while the Western Roman Empire fell into a collapse, mainly
due to its clinging to the old Roman gods (idolatry) and trying to mix
them in with Christian teachings (syncretism), the Northmen (or
Bar Bara or Varangians) blossomed. The earlier, Messianic (and
Apostolic) Missionaries had made many converts among the Barbarians or
Goths (Gahtsk) of Northern Europe, which then swept into Western
Europe (conquering the declining Rome). And, eventually produced a
strong Gothic community of Believers, especially in early Scandinavia,
that eventually produced the rise of Ivar Vidfadmi's Scandia (mid-600s
A.D.), which, in turn dominated most of Northern Europe--laying the
Judeo-Christian foundations of the Feudal European culture that was to
arise in the days to come. Consequently, this tends to be the
homeland of Our Nordics, Vikings, Scandinavians, and other Northern
Europeans.
Now, for more info on this Nordic Messianic Philosophy (of the
early Vikings), that was the foundation of Feudal Europe (in the so
called Dark Ages), consult our Nordic (and Viking) Section of
NORDESEL.
Our main lesson from this Era is on the issue that Men should
obey God first, and secular governments of Mankind secondly--for this
is the God ordained Chain of Commnad.
7. GAD - THE PERGAMOSUN CHURCH AGE (Byzantine or Greek [Orthodox]
Church):
BYZANTINE AND ASIAN FASHIONS, STYLES, THEMES...
Our Seventh Tribe is Gad and with the victory of Constantine in 312
A.D. (in which he saw the sign of the Cross in the sky), Christianity
became an officially tolerated religion in Rome (lifting the
persecutions of the Roman Martyr Church Age). And in 325, the Roman
Emperor Constantine convened the Councl of Nicea, which set the
standards for Christian Beliefs and Teachings for centuries. Then, in
395 A.D. the Emperor Theodosius made Christianity the Official
Religion of the Neo-Roman (or Byzantine) Empire. And thus began the
Millenual Reign of Christianity over the New Roman Empire or Eastern
Roman Empire (which we have come to call the Byzantine Empire). And,
while the rest of the Western Roman Empire fell to the invading
Barbarians (because of the error of the West's Syncretism), the
Eastern Roman or the Byzantine Empire went on for another thousand
years. Thus, this tends to be the Heritage World for a sparce number
of ecclesiastics and other church leaders and authorities--as well as
missionaries and other cross cultural workers (that have to confront
and tame wild foreign cultures).
In addition, this was the time of the the Silk Road, which became
a regular trade route in later Roman Times. And this led to regular
contact with many of the Ancient Asian Empires (China, India, Japan,
etc.). Moreover, this was the Era of constant invasions and migrations
from the East as these Asian Peoples came looking for new lands to
settle and conquer. And the Byzantine Empire took them in, converting
them to Christianity, so that the Byzantine Empire became increasing
Asian in its population!
Our main lesson from them is one over murder and wrongful (or
unjust death), for the term Byzantine came to refer to twisted
political plots of clandestine murder! (and, indeed, most of the
rulers of this empire came to the throne by such murders, rather
than by proper succession!)
8. ASHER - THE THIATIRA CHURCH AGE (Latin or Catholic Church):
RENAISSANCE AND NOBLE (Late Mediavel) FASHIONS, STYLES, THEMES...
Our Eight Tribe is Asher--and meanwhile, as the Byzantine (Eastern
Roman Empire) slowly slid into the veneration of images and fell into
worshipping idols (as they had, earlier, in the Roman Era), God called
for the Arabs under Mohamad to destroy the idols of the Middle East
(and beyond), which Mohamad and his followers did with vigor. However,
in 732, Charles Martel, riding on the wave of Gothic or Northern
Christianiy (from Scandia, that had settled France), defeated the
Muslim forces in Spain and spared the rest of Western Europe from
Islamic domination. Then, in around 800 A.D. Charlemaigne set up the
Great Holy Roman Empire, which in turn, gave rise to the Roman
Catholic Church. And thus emerged the Era of the Latin or Catholic
Church, which came to dominate Feudal Europe. Moreover, this led to a
time that is famous for its rebirth of learning and the rise of Noble
and Royal Governments, it tends to be the Heritage World of the
aristocratic and artistic of Our Realm.
Our lesson from this Ear is one of a warning about Jezebel and
those who prusue her teachings that come of Balaam (i.e. that is is OK
to commit adultery).
9. ISSACHAR - THE SARDIS CHURCH AGE (Protestant Reformation State
Churches):
REFORMATION AND ELIZABETHEAN (Victorian) FASHIONS, STYLES,
THEMES...
Our Ninth Tribe is Issachar, and unfortunately, as time progressed, the
Roman Catholics began to fall back more and more under the influences
of the early Roman Martyrs and their Church became watered down and
mixed with Pagan philosophies and idolatrous practices. Consequently,
the Nordic Messianic Heritage re-asserted itself (once more),
primarily in Northern Europe as the Protestant Movement came forth in
the early 1500s. Martin Luther was one of the major Protestant leaders
in Germany and Scandinavia (see Nordics or Goths, above). And along
similiar lines, the Anglican Church was also developed in Britain,
especially in Elizabethan Times (and Shakespeare). Now, while
rejecting the errors and sins of the current Latin churches, these
groups also tended to fail to draw on the strengths of those who had
gone before them, and consequently lost out on much of their own
Heritage!
Meanwhile, the Catholic church went through a Counter Reformation
that got rid of many of its errors and then propelled them on to found
the Great Conquistador Empires of Spain and Portlugal (see rise of
Hispanic Culuture, below). Then, later, there arose the Protestant
Empires of Holland and Great Britain. Thus, this tends to be the
Heritaage World for Our European Colonists (about their global
off spring) and other world settlers of the Northern Nations.
Our main lesson from this Era is one of materialism, for the
capitalists of the Colonial Empires tended to rob the local natives
of their natural resources and pay them a pitance instead of a just
wage to live on!
10. ZEBULON - THE PHILIDELPHIA CHURCH AGE (Baptist/Presbyterian
Community Churches):
COLONIAL, AMERICAN WILD WEST, AND HISPANIC FASHIONS, SYTLES, AND
THEMES...
Our Tenth Tribe is Zebulaon, so that as the Reformation State Churches
(above) tended to stay under the authority of the Kings of their own
countries--many began to feel that a more Republican (or Greek
democracy) style of church organization was needed (something like
Jewish Eldership). Now, the Anabaptists began almost as early as the
Protestant Movement, in Europe. However, they were not very popular
with the monarchies of Europe and their bureaucratic governments.
Thus, it wasn't until the rise of America, in the 1700s and early
1800s that first saw the spread of this Presbyterian type Movement and
then emerged into the Baptist Communuity Congregations, as this Church
Age really took off--with a more Eldership or Presbyterian style of
government (where the local council of elders were in control of the
local congregation). And though popular as this appeal to freedoms
may be, they usually tend to fail to produce an effective union, and
therefore, lack the organized clout that the former, monarchial style
churches have! Thus, this tends to be the Heritage World of Americans
and those seek a more representative style of organization.
This Era also reflects the end result of the earlier Conquistadors
of Spain as Latin America emerged as a big influence--but independent
from the King of Spain and more Democratic like America. Thus many
Hispanics find their Cultural attachment here.
Our main lesson from this Ear is one of DUE PROCESS OF LAW.
For we should not lie (especially not to the police or courts) but
follow the Divine Rights of Law (or Civil Rights) as given by God to
Mankind--and seek proper justice, through the correct channels.
11. JOSEPH (Manasseh/Ephairim) - THE LAODECIAN CHURCH AGE
(Modernist Home Churches):
WORLD WARS AND FIFTIES FASHION, STYLES, THEMES...
Our Eleventh Tribe is Joseph and just as the Baptists tended to not
like the authority of the Kings over them, the Modernists thought that
no man should rule their Faith, so they even shied away from organized
religions and tended to collect in the homes of friends, who had
somewhat similiar interests in serving God in a wide-open atmosphere
of total freedom (other than, perhaps, the restraint of peer pressure).
Moreover, they often point to the persecutions of the Roman Martyr
Churches as justification for meeting just in homes (overlooking the
idolatrous reasons for that purge). Unfortunatley, this kind of
democracy of the Faith tends only to lead into more chaos and anarchy
(and few of these so called home churches seems to last long--though
branches of them seem to be popping up, endlessly, all over). For,
demanding their own Rights (and ignoring or even rejecting, God's
Rights), they tend to leave out the basic morality and ethics of the
Faith and guidelines for proper supervision, which opens the door for
disasters with various kinds of major sins! However, their modern
music and open worship (often refered to as Charismatic--though not
Pentecostal) is a ready appeal to Modern Youth. Thus, this tends to
be the Heritage World of teens and other Youth (or other groups
demanding their own rights).
Moreover, our main lesson of this Era is not coventing so as to
NOT join in conspiriacy--for this time has seen the plots of
communists, socialists, and Neo-Nazis to join together overthrow
legitimate governments!
12. BENJAMIN - THE RISE OF ASTARIA (KoReY: Our Interstellar
Realm):
SCI-FI AND FUTERISTIC FASHIONS, STYLES, THEMES...
Now, here, is beginning to emerge God's 5th Universal Empire--but one
that will dominate the Stars (Daniel 7:27), not the Earth! So, mixing
the 3 streams (or Major Religious Movements of this century) of Jews
(Zionism and Messianics), Pentecostalism (with Gifts and Tongues), and
Holiness (obedience to God's Laws), Our Spiritual Society (or Religious
Realm) of KoReY enters a New Dispensation, that aims to bring back or
RETURN (ShuVaH) ALL the Descendants of Abraham (Jews, Christians, and
Muslims) together in a Unity of the Faithful--and a new Holy Israel out
among the Stars.
We see this a occuring in 3 phases: 1-KoReY or a Spiritual Society
(Religious Realm), 2-Astaria or the rise of an official Nordic
Nation of Israel out among the Stars (Pergamosan--marriage of Church
and State), and 3-The BRIDE and Millenial Reign and Second Coming of
the Messiah (and the renewal of all things--Marriage of the Lamb).
Consequently, this tends to be the homeland of Science Nerds and
Sci-Fi Freaks or others with a gift to see this Future World coming
(visionaries). And a fertile ground for the best of the Science
Fiction Worlds to grow and develop in!
Church Heritage Integration:
THEREFORE, rather than rejecting all of the previous churches,
as some groups do, we encourage their participation in Our Coming
Realm, for each has a rich Heritage that can add strength and color
to Our United whole. (And, their participation is legally provided
for in Our Grand Council or Sanhedrin, as Our kind of Legislative
Body--see Law 5d4b in Our Divine
Law Library, for details.) For, it is this Divine Culture of the
Judeo-Christian Heritage that they expressed in their own Times that
we want to preserve and use for Our Realm!
DIVINE CULTURE
OKAY! So, every Society and Peoples thinks that its Culture was
God ordained. But, considering the historical record of where Our
Culture is coming from (above), I don't think Our claim is out of
line. Now, if you want to be the judge, then consider Our Teachings
on Divine Culture that we can found at
OUR REVIVAL CHAPEL.
Or, if you are not so philosophical or theological, consider Our more
practical and social programs for the Future Cultural Intergration
that we have planned at
ASTARIAN CULTURES. For, Our Interstellar Society is truly
developing a Divine Culture!
So, now, why don't you just come on in, and help us!!! (Yes,
Resistance is Futile!!!)
