Israel is perhaps the most constant example of a nation under siege. Surrounded by hostile enemies, the tiny nation is constantly attacked, as though by angry bees. In fact, the Bible uses this imagery in a remarkable way. The bees depict Israel’s plight, as well as its prophetic future.
The bee was created as a social animal, with workers, drones and a queen. The endless activity of the hive results in honey … and even more hives. These hives are the perfect picture of a class-structured social system.
In a strange way, the workings of Gentile royalty, supported by a teeming underclass of workers are perfectly depicted by the toiling of a beehive. Deep in the hive lies a secret treasure — the golden honey. As we shall see, its sweetness is the perfect symbol for the hidden treasure of the world’s wealthy controllers.
From time to time, the hives swarm, and the workers become warriors, flying forth to sting their adversaries.
Literally, from the time of the Abrahamic land grant to the present, the nations of the world have sought out ways to render God’s plan for the Land null and void. Abraham battled the four kings, who were archetypes of the latter-day global government.
This amalgamation, we know, will ultimately be headed by the Antichrist. In a blatant display of hubris, he will establish his headquarters in Jerusalem. There, in a rebuilt Temple, he will declare himself to be God — Israel’s long-awaited Messiah and King.
Across the centuries, the Tribes of Israel have been miraculously preserved for the future Kingdom era. Yet, time after time, the Land has been wrenched from the hands of its legitimate inheritors.
The Babylonians, Persians, Greeks and Romans have all taken their turns in this despicable process. Arabian tribes swept in to lay claim to the dust and desolation that was left. Then came the miracle of the twentieth century and the ragtag band of settlers who came back to establish the modern state of Israel.
But the battle is not over. The nations have steadily increased their plan to master planet Earth. Deep in the psyche of the Gentile secular system, there is the hidden knowledge that Jerusalem is the key to the world. In spite of God’s promise to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, they plan to take the Promised Land as their own.
Like swarming bees, they never cease their evil work. In the unerring language of the Bible, their character is exposed:
“It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes. All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the Lord will I destroy them. They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the Lord I will destroy them. They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them” (Psalm 118:8-12).
Contemporary Israel’s problem is that they have put confidence in men and princes. They have placed their faith in peace “processes,” convened in places like Madrid and Oslo, in the presence of American presidents and a parade of Western nations, from whom they receive aid of a wavering and transitory sort.
In the process, they have been brought to the brink of disaster. Now, even the most liberal Israelis realize that they have been used in the Western effort to stabilize the region for its own purposes. The Arab world is aglow at the prospect of vanquishing Israel at last.
The industrious bees of the New World Order are hard at work, building their huge and profitable system. It is like a hive that steadily incorporates the world into its buzzing bureaucracy. This hive is the perfect picture of global socialism, with its workers, drones, controlling oligarchy and royal leadership.
SAMSON’S RIDDLE
Today, Israel is surrounded by sworn enemies, and is said to possess what is called, “The Samson Complex.” In simple terms, this mode of thought hearkens back to the day when the Philistines threatened Israel, and the Lord used Samson — even in his blindness — to pull down the pillars of their Temple. Its fall destroyed the Philistine leadership, and Samson himself.
Now, the question is, who was Samson, and what does his story have to do with modern Israel?
To begin with, his birth was accompanied by miraculous events. This powerful son of Manoah, of the tribe of Dan, was announced by “the angel of the Lord.” This angel instructed Samson’s mother that he was to be a Nazarite (consecrated one) throughout his entire lifetime – dedicated to serving the Lord and liberating his people.
Manoah prayed, begging the angel to appear again with instructions about how he was to be raised. The angel obliged, and then told Manoah to make a burnt offering — not to himself — but to the Lord. Manoah obeyed, and the angel ascended upon the flames of the offering.
After that, the wife of Manoah bore a son. She named him “Samson.” In the Hebrew his name is shimshon [שמשון meaning, “of or pertaining to the Sun.” He was to be a glorious, sunlike light to his people, who, according to Scripture, had walked in darkness for forty years.
His name bears a striking resemblance to the name used to designate the center lamp of the Jewish Menorah: shamash [שמש]. Note that these three Hebrew letters actually look like a seven-branched lamp stand! This name means “servant lamp.” The same Hebrew spelling, with different pronunciation, yields the word shemesh, the name for the Sun.
Thus, the range of meanings that surround Samson’s name combine to indicate a light that would shine upon his people, and a servant who would bring the people back to the Lord.
In spite of his Nazarite birth, Samson grew up to be an arrogant and rebellious young man. To the horror of his parents, he became romantically attracted to a Philistine girl. (Actually, they failed to understand that the Lord was using this situation in a way that would lead to an Israelite victory over the Philistines.)
One day, on his way to visit her, a young lion attacked Samson. Using his divinely ordained strength, he tore the lion apart with his bare hands.
Some time later, he made the trip again. On his way home, he stopped by to see the lion’s carcass and discovered that it was occupied by a swarm of bees. Their diligent work had filled it with honey.
In defiance of his Nazarite vows, he touched the dead carcass and ate the honey. Touching an unclean animal to obtain unclean food was an open violation of his vows. Some time later, his father went to the Philistine town to secure the young woman’s hand in marriage for his son. The deal was made and a great feast was planned.
At the seven-day wedding feast, in accordance with the custom of the Philistines, Samson proposed a riddle:
“And Samson said unto them, I will now put forth a riddle unto you: if ye can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty change of garments:
“But if ye cannot declare it me, then shall ye give me thirty sheets and thirty change of garments. And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it.
“And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle” (Judges 14:12-14).
The importance of his life is that the “Spirit of the Lord” continually moved him. From the beginning to the end, his public actions were foreordained. The riddle of the bees that Samson laid before these “sea people,” painted a picture of a larger struggle, one that would play out over the centuries. It leads, in fact, to the latter-day struggle between Israel and the nations, and finally, even to the Antichrist, himself.
Is it not remarkable that Samson, whose name pertains to the Sun, posed a riddle to the invading Philistine Gentiles that summons up the symbols of the pagan past?
The Hebrew word dabar [רבד] can designate either the “Word” or the “bee.” As we shall see, the honey in the carcass of the lion is the occultic symbol for the ancient, hidden esoteric wisdom. The swarm of bees in the lion’s body is the very icon of a secret order whose goal is to overthrow the people of Israel. They have appropriated the outward symbol of the regal lion!
An ancient system was being challenged. Just beneath the surface of these events, God was about to overthrow one of the greatest of all pagan shrines. Diana was, in short, a manifestation of the harlot goddess who will one day be the spirit of the global government – the dominion of commercial and religious Babylon. Fully developed in the New Testament as “MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS” (Revelation 17:5), she was perfectly represented in the Old Testament by Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab:
Thus was the wealth and political power of the Phoenician merchants wedded to the royal house of Israel, bringing with it the corruption of false worship. Jezebel brought the adoration of the Babylonian Baal and Ishtar into the vital center of national Israel.
She is the model of the harlot riding the beast. In the latter days, she rises to corrupt the nations of the earth. In the early years of the Christian Church, the system of goddess worship seemed to disappear. Actually, it crept into the Church and became ingrained in the rule of the Holy Roman Empire of the Middle Ages.
THE SLEEPING BEES
We must remember that the history of the fertility goddess spans the period of approximately 2,300 years from the Flood of Noah to the time of Christ.
Beginning with Nimrod and the Tower of Babel, goddess worship flourished throughout the civilized world. Semiramis became Ishtar, Ashtoreth, the Egyptian Isis and Diana, of whom the Bible has much to say.
As the goddess of fortifications, she wore the tower-crown. Her symbol, the honeybee, actually depicted her as the queen of the hive, itself a miniature fortified city.
The bee of Diana was featured in coin, sculpture and worship, even as those who held her in high reverence became enslaved to her false religious system.
When the new worship of Christ swept across the pagan world, the hive went underground. But, like a real beehive in winter, the bees didn’t die.
Rather, they went into a long winter of dormancy. The bees lay sleeping as they patiently waited for the day when they would once again rise to a period of full, active vigor.
Israel is perhaps the most constant example of a nation under siege. Surrounded by hostile enemies, the tiny nation is constantly attacked, as though by angry bees. In fact, the Bible uses this imagery in a remarkable way. The bees depict Israel’s plight, as well as its prophetic future.
The bee was created as a social animal, with workers, drones and a queen. The endless activity of the hive results in honey … and even more hives. These hives are the perfect picture of a class-structured social system.
In a strange way, the workings of Gentile royalty, supported by a teaming underclass of workers are perfectly depicted by the toiling of a beehive. Deep in the hive lies a secret treasure — the golden honey. As we shall see, its sweetness is the perfect symbol for the hidden treasure of the world’s wealthy controllers.
From time to time, the hives swarm, and the workers become warriors, flying forth to sting their adversaries.
Literally, from the time of the Abrahamic land grant to the present, the nations of the world have sought out ways to render God’s plan for the Land null and void. Abraham battled the four kings, who were archetypes of the latter-day global government.

They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them” (Psalm 118:8-12).
Contemporary Israel’s problem is that they have put confidence in men and princes. They have placed their faith in peace “processes,” convened in places like Madrid and Oslo, in the presence of American presidents and a parade of Western nations, from whom they receive aid of a wavering and transitory sort.
In the process, they have been brought to the brink of disaster. Now, even the most liberal Israelis realize that they have been used in the Western effort to stabilize the region for its own purposes. The Arab world is aglow at the prospect of vanquishing Israel at last.
The industrious bees of the New World Order are hard at work, building their huge and profitable system. It is like a hive that steadily incorporates the world into its buzzing bureaucracy. This hive is the perfect picture of global socialism, with its workers, drones, controlling oligarchy and royal leadership.
The droning of the global hive is founded upon an ancient and captivating story. It ranges all the way back to the beginnings of human government and its successive and fanatic passion to rule the world. Both its foundational beliefs and its present practices are steeped in the darkest and most evil idolatry.
As we look into the ancient past, we will track the amazing story of the bees, their hidden meanings and metaphoric implications. At their first mention in Scripture, the bees are used to describe the Amorites. During the wilderness journey, Israel dared to make war against the mountainous territory of the Amorites.
Because they had sinned, the Lord was not with them. Moses urged their leaders to call off the attack. But they persisted, and were soundly defeated. The sad result is given in Deuteronomy 1:44-46:
“And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, even unto Hormah. “And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.
“So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode there.”
Here, the Amorites are likened to swarming bees, which come out of their mountainous hive to overpower the hapless Israelites. Their land, together with Edom and Moab to the south, forms the bulwark of Israel’s ancient enemies. As we shall see, these enemies persist through the ages, finally emerging as the global power of the latter days. The very bloodline of these enemies is the foundation of the Antichrist system!
Furthermore, the continual opposition to the covenant between the Lord and His Chosen People is documented throughout the Bible. We see the enemy’s development in many ways. In the period leading up to the time of Christ, they were the Seleucids; during His earthly ministry, they were the Idumean (Edomite) Herodians. Finally, the evil bloodline merged into the royal houses of Rome and became the foundation of the ruling dynasties of Europe, where it continues to this day.
The bees of this world order comprise a riddle. Like any riddle, they beg for an answer. Fortunately (and in typical fashion), the Bible provides that answer.
The importance of his life is that the “Spirit of the Lord” continually moved him. From the beginning to the end, his public actions were foreordained. The riddle of the bees that Samson laid before these “sea people,” painted a picture of a larger struggle, one that would play out over the centuries. It leads, in fact, to the latter-day struggle between Israel and the nations, and finally, even to the Antichrist, himself.
THE GOD OF FORTRESSES
There are many other references that link Diana’s bees with secret societies. But no matter where they are found, all of them have a common belief; they are convinced that a small, elite group from within their patrician plutocracy will one day rise to rule the world.
Much of the Bible is devoted to a study of this group, and their ultimate leader, the Antichrist. Daniel, in particular, defines his rise to power:
“After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
“I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things” (Daniel 7:7,8).
This fourth beast depicts the final secular world empire. Its ten horns are the ruling oligarchy of Diana’s bees. One of them rises to the position of world dictator. His esoteric wisdom will, no doubt, be formidable. It will be accompanied by the power so revered by the ancient worshipers of the goddess.
In fact, Daniel refers to her: “Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. “But in his estate shall he honor the God of forces…” (Daniel 11:37, 38).
When the Antichrist comes to his time of power, he will pay homage to a god “of forces.” This god (with a lower-case “g”), refers to a false god, with an alien power. The Hebrew word is
maozim [ש], which is most often translated “fortresses.”
It is not stretching the interpretation of this Scripture to say that this false god of fortresses is none other than the tower goddess, Diana. Her traditional headdress is, in fact, a tower, or fortress.
Her symbol, the honeybee, is the model of a fortress builder. The beehive is a fortress society, with guarded walls that warn away anyone who would raid its inner sanctum to retrieve the sweet secrets hidden there.
SAMSON’S RIDDLE, A CONTEMPORARY EVENT
What are these busy bees doing today? They are hard at work, setting up a kingdom, with its headquarters in Jerusalem. Its clear signs are seen in current events, like the Oslo “peace process,” and current Western efforts to internationalize the Holy City.
Trans-national groups of modern merchant bankers are working to solidify the lines of power necessary to set up the “New World Order,” so often mentioned by President George H. W. Bush in the early 1990’s. The term is now commonly used.
There is a kingdom promised in prophecy. It is the Kingdom that will be decreed by the Lord, Himself. He is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. The bees are now trying to build their hive within what they see as the dead body of that lion.
This brings us back to Samson’s encounter with the raging lion. Samson, a Danite, was foreordained to bring the Lord’s liberating power to a people at war with the Philistines. But like the Tribe of Dan itself, Samson chose lust, pleasure and his own alienated destiny. Nevertheless, the Lord used him to overthrow the Philistine leadership, as well as their pagan temple.
But on that fateful day when the Lord brought forth a lion, Samson was caused to act out the future in a riddle. When he took the honey from the carcass, he defamed his Nazarite calling. He ate of the honeycomb and even took some home to his parents. But he deliberately avoided telling them what he had done. He knew of his own sin, yet continued in it. He was, in fact, partaking of the symbolic hidden knowledge of the bees, which had appropriated the body of the lion as their hive. The false fortress of the lion seemed secure, until Samson came along and destroyed it. Then, he took their wisdom and devoured it.
Today, the honeybees of Diana are building in the carcass of the lion … Judah. They see it as dead, to exist no more. They plan to exploit its framework for their own kingdom. They want its capital for themselves.
But the Lion of the Tribe of Judah is not dead. As we know from Revelation 5:5, “… the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.”
The Lion, thought by the bees of Diana to have died after siring children through Mary Magdalene, will soon return to judge the pretenders to His throne. Their hive, and the honey of their false wisdom, will be ripped from the carcass of an ancient dead lion. Once destroyed, the living Lion will be enthroned – forever.
