Quetzalcoatl – the god behind the Mayan prophesies for 2012

–

People wonder about the date 2012, which came from the Mayan calendar. Attached to this creation of this calendar was a winged serpent named Quetzalcoatyl, who was part man, part god. He is also expected to return. Will 2012 be the date?

Quetzalcoatl – The historical figure

http://www.mexconnect.com/mex_/history/jtuck/jtquetzalcoatl.html

The historical Quetzalcoatl – was probably born around AD 947. His father, Mixcoatl, was ruler of the Toltecs. He was originally named Ce Acatl Topitzin, meaning “Our Prince Born on Ce Acatl,” the latter being an important Toltec holiday. His birth was immediately preceded by a horrendous family tragedy, the father having been deposed and murdered by a jealous brother named Ihuitmal.

The unborn child’s pregnant mother, Chimalma, fled to Tepoztlan. Before dying in childbirth, Chimalma declared that her infant son was divinely conceived because she had swallowed a piece of blue-green jade.

Reared by his grandparents, Ce Acatl Topitzin was sent to the religious school at Xochicalco. There he so impressed teachers with his wisdom and piety that they conferred on him the name of Quetzalcoatl. Meaning “plumed serpent,” this was a prestigious title given to persons whose behavior shows signs of an exalted state such as that attained by a saint or a sage.

Returning to Tula, Quetzalcoatl defied his usurping uncle by burying the remains of his father with the ceremony to which he was entitled. He then took over as new leader of the Toltecs by pushing the unpopular Ihuitmal into a sacrificial fire.

Quetzalcoatl proved to be a wise and progressive ruler. In an action that demonstrated both sensitivity and enlightened self-interest, he imported a group of talented deaf-mutes known as nonoalcos to work as artisans in his kingdom.

The nonoalcos were descendants of the highly skilled artisans of Teotihuacan and it was they who produced the distinctive designs for which Tula is noted — serpent columns, square pillars ornamented with friezes and giant-sized statues of warriors.

Quetzalcoatl also abolished human sacrifice and decreed that henceforth sacrificial objects be limited to snakes, flowers and small birds. It’s at this point that the line becomes blurred between the historical and the legendary Quetzalcoatl.

Though the priests were undoubtedly annoyed by his outlawing of human sacrifice, accounts of the actions attributed to them are obviously the work of myth makers rather than of responsible historians.

According to this version, the priests summoned an ancient god named Texcatlipoca to help them get rid of Quetzalcoatl. Texcatlipoca was an evil god, and he and the pro-human sacrifice priests obviously looked on Quetzalcoatl as some sort of bleeding-heart liberal. (The only bleeding hearts they wanted to see were the ones torn out of victims and laid on altars.)

Deciding on a ruse, Texcatlipoca crept into Quetzalcoatl’s sanctuary with two minor gods, also evil, and frightened him by demonstrating a new invention: the mirror. Feigning friendliness, they disguised him by covering his body with red paint, feathers and a mask.

They served him a delicious meal and Texcatlipoca persuaded Quetzalcoatl to drink a beverage of pulque mixed with honey. The concoction made him drunk and the conspirators then slipped a beautiful dancing girl into his room. He awoke the next morning with a hangover and the horrible realization that he had broken his priestly vow of chastity.

Tormented with remorse, Quetzalcoatl wandered in self-imposed exile for twenty years and then ended up near what is today the Gulf port of Coatzocoalcos.

There he said goodbye to a loyal band of weeping disciples, promising to return at some future time.

He sailed for Yucatan, where he became equally admired by the Maya, who called him Kulkulcan. Finally, some thirty years later, he died by immolating himself on a self-made funeral pyre.

Mesoamerican god – the legend

http://www.azteccalendar.com/god/Quetzalcoatl.html

http://weber.ucsd.edu/~anthclub/quetzalcoatl/quetzal.htm

http://nexusnovel.wordpress.com/2006/09/19/the-plumed-serpent-quetzalcoatl-a-symbol-of-connectedness/

Quetzalcoatl (“feathered snake”) is the Aztec name for the Feathered-Serpent deity of ancient Mesoamerica, one of the main gods of many Mexican and northern Central American civilizations. Civilizations worshiping the Feathered Serpent included the Olmec, the Mixtec, the Toltec, the Aztec, and the Maya.

The worship of Quetzalcoatl sometimes included human sacrifices, although in other traditions Quetzalcoatl was said to oppose human sacrifice.

Quetzalcoatl was the god of life, fertility and gave penitence, love, and exemption from rituals of sacrifice, and Autosacrifice.

His birth, along with his twin Xolotl, was unusual; it was a virgin birth, born to the goddess Coatlicue.

According to Apocalyptic literature, esoteric knowledge, such as magic, divination, and astrology, was transmitted to humans in the mythic past by the two angels, Aza and Azaz’el (in other places, Azaz’el and Uzaz’el) who ‘fell’ from heaven (see Genesis 6:4). Is this Quetzalcoatyl and his twin?

Quetzalcoatl was often considered the god of the morning star and his twin brother, Xolotl was the evening star (Venus).

As the morning star he was known under the title Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli, which means literally “the lord of the star of the dawn”.

Remember that the name Lucifer also is an ancient name that means Venus, the morning star.

He was known as the inventor of books and the calendar, the giver of maize corn to mankind, and sometime as a symbol of death and resurrection. Quetzalcoatl was also the patron of the priests and the title of the Aztec high priest.

Lord of Healing and magical herbs, known as a symbol of thought and learning, of the arts, poetry, and all things good and beautiful. Lord of Hope and Lord of the Morning Star.

Quetzalcoatl, as he was known in Mexico, taught the natives their religion, art and science. Mesoamerican reverence for this god helped prepare the way for Hernán Cortés and other European explorers to conquer the New World.

Quetzalcoatl, like some gods in other mythologies, was part human and part god. Some believe Quetzalcoatl’s father was the god Mixcoatl, known as Sky Father of Cloud Serpent. Others see his father as a sun god.

The Aztecs believed that his mother, a virgin named Chimalma, became pregnant by swallowing an emerald and them giving birth in the year 1-Reed. Being part human and part god made Quetzalcoatl grow to be very wise and cultured.

Legends say that Quetzalcoatl was tall and light-skinned, with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a beard, in contrast to the natives who were short, dark skinned and dark haired. He is said to have worn a long, flowing robe. Quetzalcoatl was special because he was a god of creation.

The Incas believed that he made the sun, moon, stars, and planets. The Mayans believed that with Tepeu, another god, he helped create the earth, mountains, streams and all animals. But his final creation was man because other forms of life could not think about and worship their creator.

His name translates variously to “plumed serpents,” “green-feathered-serpent,” or “serpent of precious feathers.” They all suggest the combination of “quetzal,” a beautiful, green Guatemalan bird, and “coatl,” meaning serpent.

The serpent is both a fertility and lightning symbol among many peoples.”

Connection to Egypt and Sumeria

Ancient Mexicans and Egyptians who never met and lived centuries and thousands of miles apart both worshiped feathered-serpent deities, built pyramids and developed a 365-day calendar.

Cleopatra, the last Egyptian queen before the Roman conquest of Egypt in 30 BC, saw herself as Isis and wore a gold serpent in her headpiece.

In Sumerian Mythology they were a pantheon of good and evil gods and goddesses who came to Earth to create the human race. According to the some resources, these gods came from Nibiru – ‘Planet of the Crossing.’ The Assyrians and Babylonians called it ‘Marduk’, after their chief god.

Thoughts about multiple cultures with a snake god.

A Snake god that visits different lands, and duplicates the virgin birth prophecy, in order to usurp the coming messiah’s validity and authority?

Shared traits in architecture, with Egyptians building pyramids as royal tombs, and the Mayans and Aztecs following suit with pyramids as places of sacrifice to the gods.

So far, from the information above, QUETZALCOATL is a feathered snake with blue eyes, blonde hair, a beard, with a long flowing robe, green feathers, that looks like a snake. A snake with feathers is one thing, but a snake with a beard?

It sounds like a mix between the European Jesus pictures we see, a pretty bird, and the old serpent we call the devil. It would not be surprising if Lucifer returned as QUETZALCOATL, trying to look like Jesus, so people would believe in him.

Since I see no artwork reflecting this mix of characteristics, I would have to assume that the appearance of the historical figure is separate from the legendary character and god. However, the legend may have borrowed some aspects from the historical figure.

QUETZALCOATL – Connection to the planets and their transits

Connected to the planet Venus, and its transit. QUETZALCOATL is supposed to return again, during a conjunction of some sort with the sun. One transit was in 2004, and the next one will be 2012. There have also been other transits in history, when QUETZALCOATL did not return.

Possible connection with planet Nibu? Many involved in research of this kind predict a return date of Nibiru passing Earth coinciding with the Winter Solstice of 2012; specifically at 11.11 UT, 21st December 12, 2012. In 1993 Nasa launched the IRAS telescope which picked up the faint image of a large celestial body 3 times the distance of Pluto in our own solar system.

The Return of the Energy of Christ and of Quetzalcoatl

http://www.astrologycom.com/quetzalcoatl1.html

Quetzalcoatl was driven into exile, in one legend. According to legend he left the Atlantic coast of Mexico on a raft made of serpents and vowed one day to return on a day of his own energy.

Quetzalcoatl has yet to return either from Venus or the East. A “ce ácatl” or 1-reed year, is a potential time for their god Quetzalcoatl to return.

Oneness people and the New Age View:

http://www.experiencefestival.com/a/Quetzalcoatl/id/2327

http://2012rising.com/article/2012-the-return-of-quetzalcoatl

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRrQ7O8WCuw

It has been suggested several times by New Agers that the energies of Christ and Quetzalcoatl (Lucifer) are the same or at least closely associated.

Lucifer will return as the Christ in 2012?

*** Time of enlightenment and global human consciousness? No evil is confronted in this view. People reorienting their consciousness to create positive energy in the world. Really? A big winged snake is coming to fuse us together and make us one with him and the universe?

They believe the date 21-12-2012 represents a cosmic event of great note to human spiritual progression. The 2012 conjunction of the winter solstice sun with the dark rift near the galactic centre, and the start of a new precession cycle, and new Maya Long Count.

This offers the world the chance as a species to align with the cosmic energies of massive positive change. New Agers believe that we can consciously choose to rapidly evolve our civilization, and our physical and spiritual selves at that time.

We have yet to explain however what was meant by the prophecy that Quetzalcoatl should return from the East, after or around the year AD 1000, when he disappeared on a raft.

We should then first note that, since then, many pairs of Venus Transits have occurred that did not seem to bring the return of Quetzalcoatl. The most recent examples of such pairs are those of 1518/1526, 1631/1639, 1761/1769 and 1874/1882.

The next Venus Transit that we are now about to experience is June 6, 2012. Why should we expect a return of Quetzalcoatl this time, when it did not happen at those previous Venus Transits? Wait and see? Or is it time for Lucifer to show up?

Quetzalcoatl and Crop circles:

http://www.cropcircleconnector.com/anasazi/time2007o.html

Crop circles, aliens!! Who are the “aliens,” or who is the “alien” making these circles?

Quetzalcoatl will save us from the greys (type of alien)? Look at the link, and see the technical interpretation for the images. It seems quite convincing that someone supernatural was behind them.

Example from link:

–

–

The crop-picture effort seems to be spiritual: from this explanation of the pleasing Mayan images that are created, it is possible that Quetzal and his friends (aliens- demons) are trying to “connect” with us on some deeper level, so that we can make face-to-face contact in the near future. The circles are definitely messages of some sort.

Yet most Earth governments and the media do not want him to come, because then they would lose power. I wonder if they know who he really is.

Will we eventually meet Quetzal and his friends (aliens- demons) in early 2013, when the Mayan Fifth Sun ends and a Sixth Sun begins? Or will it be somewhat later in 2039 AD, which is a year “One Reed”?

Quetzalcoatl always told the Mayans that he would return in a year One Reed, which happens once every 52 years. When Cortes invaded Mexico in 1519 AD, it was a year One Reed.

Likewise in 2039 AD, or 520 years after 1519, it will be another year One Reed. But this is all speculation and legend: we don’t know for sure.

2018 again

*** Jesus said that this generation that saw the end time signs would not pass away until all things had been fulfilled.

Many say a generation is 40 years, others say 70. If one calculates the number of generations from Adam to Christ, in the book of Matthew, and consider the total number of years, one arrives at a number (51.4 years, according to Jack Van Impe, scholar) which is close to 52 years for a generation.

The count starts from when Israel sprouted its leaves (mature tree), June 10, 1967 + 52 = June 10, 2019. So, if one used this 52 years as a generation, one might think that the end time tribulation and wrath is complete by that time.

If corrected to 51.4 years, one would subtract 7.2 months from June, 2019, since each 1/10 year = 1.2 months. The final end would occur about December, 2018.

So, 2012, and 2018, is coming, but what, or who is coming with it?
