Researcher Admits To Archaeological Evidence For An Originating Point For Civilization But Gives A Spiritually Errant Interpretation

 




For those of us who believe the historical account of Genesis, it is no surprise or huge revelation that there should be discovered structures similar to each other across the world that were erected by civilizations that supposedly had no contact with one another as things universally shared and held in common suggest an originating source from which there was a dispersion and such a dispersion we find recorded in the eleventh chapter of Genesis which transpired in a place called Babel. 
 
The account states that before the dispersion that everyone sought to make a monument to themselves known as the Tower of Babel but the Lod God Almighty of Heaven and earth was displeased at this ambition and with the pride that led the people of Babel to do this and put a stop to the building of this tower by confusing their tongues which brought about their forceful dispersion (Gen. 11)
 
It has been well known that pyramids, though not necessarily used for the same purposes, are universally present throughout the world, but the following item from the Daily Mail further reports of universally present structures that also share certain symbols in common.  The item reported:
 
 
 
 
an independent researcher claims he has uncovered 'paradigm-shifting evidence of a lost civilization' that hid a sophisticated code through geometry, symbolism, and monument design across the globe to preserve its knowledge ahead of catastrophic events.
 
Matthew LaCroix told Daily Mail the discovery, sparked by a recent find in Egypt, links symbols across continents and dates back 38,000 to 40,000 years.
 
According to LaCroix, this civilization tracked cosmic cycles, anticipated global disasters, and embedded teachings about human origins, the structure of the universe, and divine existence into monuments and sacred sites.
 
His investigation began after identifying recurring giant T-shapes, three-level indents, and step pyramids carved into ancient stones worldwide.
 
'These specific symbols that are built in different size proportions, and the symbols are found in ancient stones around the world, are not supposed to exist; no cultures are supposed to have any cross-platform,' LaCroix explained.
 
The symbols appear in locations ranging from Turkey's Van region to South America and Cambodia.
 
According to LaCroix, the origin of this global system lies in eastern Turkey's Lake Van region at a site known as Ionis.
 
He described it as the earliest source of the civilization's symbols, architecture, and teachings, dating it to around 40,000 years old. He argues it preserves the original blueprint later carried to places such as Giza and Tiwanaku.
 
Recurring motifs, giant T-shapes, step pyramids, inverted pyramids, lions, and sacred geometry, appear at Ionis in their most concentrated form before repeating at distant sites worldwide, LaCroix added…
 
The four-foot-by-four-foot basalt carving, known as the Kefkalesi relief, contains complex iconography that mirrors the symbols found at Ionis, Giza, and South American sites. [1]
 
 
 
 
La Croix then went on to explain as to what he believes the universally shared symbology might mean.  The Daily Mail went on to report:
 
 
 
He tied this framework to preserved Egyptian traditions, particularly Hermeticism, an ancient spiritual and philosophical system attributed to Hermes Trismegistus that emphasizes humanity's connection to the cosmos, the divine, and hidden knowledge.
 
LaCroix believes the ancient code was deliberately hidden to preserve knowledge humanity later inverted.
 
Speaking philosophically, he added: 'Guess what, spoiler alert, we're doing everything basically the inverse opposite of what we're supposed to,' he warned.
 
He said the evidence suggests humans were once understood as divine and interconnected with all existence.
 
'We have ancient proof that shows that we're a divine being that's connected to the all, and a part of everything... we're supposed to be living in harmony with the Earth and the universe,' LaCroix said. [2]
 
 
 
 
LaCroix may be right in his claims that the universally present structures and symbology serve as evidence of a common source and origin for human civilization.
 
He may be right in claiming that our understanding of things is not what it should be.
 
He is even right to say that the harmony that we should have with nature is lacking but not for the reasons he may be thinking as I fear that, despite being right about some things, he may have fallen for and is being used as a vessel of dark forces to perpetuate, albeit in a repackaged and differently worded form, a lie that brought humanity into its presently corrupted and fallen condition to begin with.
 
But before the lie that was told that brought humanity and the world into the presently corrupt and fallen state that it is in now, there was a perfect balance and harmony between God, man, and nature and an uninterrupted fellowship between God and man and it was a world in which there was no want or lack of anything and in which there was no evil, no death, and no suffering, but only peace and contentment as was so intended for that was the kind of world which God had initially created until the day a lying spirit crept into the world in the form of a serpent and told that very lie that would turn the world into the good place that it once was into the corrupt, fallen, decaying and dying state that it is today and the lie that brought evil, death, and suffering into the world was that mankind could become divine and it was the lie that caused the first man Adam and the first woman Eve, who was the wife of Adam, to do the one thing that they were told by God not to do and that was the eating of a fruit from a certain tree called the tree of the knowledge of good and evil having been warned that in the day that they ate thereof, they would surely die. (Gen. 2:16-17, 3:3)
 
But the lie that they were told that led them into eating that forbidden fruit was:
 
 
 
ye shall not surely die, for God doth know that in the day that ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. (v. 4-5)
 
 
 
 
But when Adam and Eve ate of that forbidden fruit, they did not become divine as the lying spirit had told them they would be and the sentence of death of which God had warned them was pronounced upon them (Gen. 3:19) to which they eventually succumbed contrary to the false assurance that the lying spirit had told them.  The only thing that the lying spirit said to Adam and Eve that was true is that the forbidden fruit would open their eyes and opened their eyes the fruit did, but not to what Adam and Eve had thought their eyes would be made open to.
 
Instead of their eyes being open to some untapped knowledge and wisdom, their eyes only became open to a shame that came upon their nakedness (Gen. 3:7) after they had eaten of that forbidden fruit but the consequences of the disobedience of Adam and Eve did not stop with them, for it was in that day when Adam and Eve ate of that forbidden fruit that sin entered into them and from them, the sin which entered into them and brought about their eventual deaths, was also passed down to all of mankind for all of us are descendants of that first man and that first woman and because we are their descendants, we have also inherited the sin that entered into them (Rom. 5:12) and because of that sin which we have inherited, we all sin in some form or fashion and as a consequence we all die for as it is written, the wages of sin is death (Rom. 6:23) but sin is not merely confined to outward behavior or performance or even the words we speak, but it is rather the inherent inward corruption of our very nature defiling our thoughts, hardening and darkening our hearts, and corrupting our very motives which is why it is written that we are not defiled from that which comes from without, but that which comes from within (Mt. 15:11, 18-20) and which is why it is written that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23) which demands of us nothing less than moral perfection and not just in our outward acts but also in our inward as well which is why it is impossible by our own efforts and our own goodness to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, for sin taints, corrupts, defiles, twists, and distorts more than we can comprehend and the effects of sin are not merely confined to mankind, but all of creation is subjected to a curse because of sin which is why it is written that the entire creation groans and travails in pain to this day. (Rom. 8:19-22)
 
And the lying spirit who told the lie that caused that act of disobedience that brought sin, death, decay, evil, and suffering into the world was a certain angel named Lucifer who once served at the throne of God as a covering cherub until he became so lifted up in his pride that he thought to make himself equal with God and as a consequence, he and the angels who sided with him were cast from their places in Heaven (Is. 14:11-21, Ezek. 28:12-19) and it was in that day that Lucifer became known as Satan or the Devil and what he could not accomplish in Heaven, he succeeded in accomplishing on the earth by way of the lie that caused that fateful act of disobedience which not only brought death to Adam and Eve by way of sin entering into them but also to the rest of mankind by way of the sin which entered into Adam and Eve being passed down to the rest of humanity who descend from them and it was that very lie which led to the transgression which brought death and sin into the world that made Satan the father of lies (Jn. 8:44) because it was the first known lie ever told and not only did that lie make Satan the father of lies, it also made him into a murderer (v. 44) because it was by that death, by way of sin has come to all of mankind but not only that, the transgression that Satan led Adam and Eve into committing made him justified in claiming lordship over all the nations, kingdoms, and empires of the earth, (Mt. 4:8-9, Lk. 4:6-7) which is why he is called the prince of this world (Jn. 12:31, 16:11) and has held the world captive ever since the transgression of Adam
 
The captivity of the world began by a lie and if bondage and captivity begin by a lie, then liberty can only begin with truth and the truth is that we are bound with invisible chains and are subject to an invisible tyranny and oppression.  We are even given the illusion of freedom but we are never truly free until it is revealed to us what it is that we are held captive by and by what means we can be delivered and the captivity that we are born into is that of sin and that of death and it is sin and it is death that is responsible for all of the evil, grief, and suffering that we witness and experience in this world today and it is through sin, death, and destruction that Satan governs and it is upon lies by which his power is established and in order to maintain his power, he will do all that he can to suppress anything that might lead anyone to the truth that sets free (Jn. 8:32) and what he is not able to hide or suppress, he will attempt to distort in our minds into something that it is not and that is exactly what I believe is happening to people like Matthew LaCroix.
 
La Croix understands, based upon what archaeological evidence shows, that civilization had a starting point; a point of origin and spread out from there.
 
He even understands that things in the world are not as they should be and he understands that there has been a corruption in our knowledge, but where he errs is that he claims that the reason why there is a corruption in our knowledge and understanding and why things in the world are not as they should be is that we have somehow become blind and disconnected to a divinity that he claims that we possess when in truth, the reason why things in the world are not as they should be and are not within their proper place and balance is because we have become estranged from the one who is divine by way of sin and it is due to sin that there is a separation between God and man that would otherwise not exist and it is due to this separation that we are unable to enter into the Kingdom of God on our own merit, because even our own merit is stained with sin and it is due to sin that we are unable to attain to the moral standard of perfection required of anyone who seeks to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven and if we cannot enter into the Heaven on our own merit, then it is only by the grace and mercy of our Creator that we can ever be admitted into the Kingdom of Heaven and it is only in His grace and mercy that we can ever trust for a deliverance that we could otherwise not attain.
 
A day is coming when this world as we know it will come to an end and a new and better one will come in its place but it will not be a place where anything sinful or evil will any part or any presence which means that no one who is in sin will be a part of this new and better world to come as they will also have to be eliminated along with this this present world and the things thereof because that which is evil cannot dwell with that which is good and that which is sinful cannot dwell in a place that is without sin but if that day is delayed it is only because God, in His love and mercy towards us desires that we be reconciled to Him and not forever separated from His love because He is not willing that any should perish in their sins and face eternal damnation, (2 Pet. 3:9) but that all would come to repentance, and therefore has done for us what we could never do for ourselves in that He, in His graciousness has purchased redemption on our behalf in Christ Jesus, His only begotten Son, (Jn. 3:16) who came to us in the flesh, (Jn. 1:14) and being without any sin (2 Cor. 5:21) was made that perfect sacrifice (Heb. 7:26-27) that was needed to take away the sins of the world and because of His perfect goodness, He was able to offer Himself up on our behalf to satisfy the demanded penalty for all sin and granting mercy and grace through the shedding of His blood on the cross and after having died, rose again from the dead three days later that we might be justified in Him (Rom. 4:25) if we will but call upon His name so that we might be saved from what would otherwise be a terrifying everlasting punishment if we will but call upon His name (Rom. 10:9, 13) and believe in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead (Rom. 10:9) for it is by calling upon His name in sincere repentance that salvation is granted and our souls made clean from sin thereby liberating us from the threat of eternal damnation and with that cleansing comes a new spiritual transformation (2 Cor. 5:17) that causes us to no longer desire to follow after selfish and worldly pursuits but after those things that pertain to the Kingdom of Heaven,
to no longer take pleasure in those things that are evil and displeasing in the sight of the Lord, but in that which is good, right, and pleasing in His sight,
to no longer desire to walk in the lies of this present world, but only in the truth that comes from Christ Almighty who is the source of all truth, (Jn. 14:6)
no longer placing our hopes in the things of this present world, but looking forward to that new and better world to come, (Rev. 21-22)
to no longer rely on worldly resources, men, or even our own power, abilities, skills, and wisdom for our needs and provision but upon God who is able to meet all of our needs, recognizing that the resources of this world and even the people He brings into our lives are but instruments and vessels through which God meets our needs and that the skills, power, knowledge, and wisdom by which we might acquire our provision are provided and instilled in us by God, (Mt. 6:25-33)
to no longer fear what men can do to us, but rather fearing the God before whom we will have to one day give an account for how we lived our lives, (Mt. 10:28)
to no longer look to corruptible institutions within our society for direction and order in our lives but to God who, by His written Word has given us laws and precepts to be applied to our lives and which serve to produce and maintain an ordered life, and who, by His Holy Spirit which comes to dwell within us upon repentance, establishes in our lives a course and direction in our lives to pursue for His glory,
to no longer seek our own glory but the glory of God,
to no longer rally behind corruptible men, but instead behind the incorruptible God in Heaven bearing in mind that those men and women God raises up for our edification are but instruments and servants of His for that respective purpose to which He has called them,
to no longer seek to align ourselves with the things of darkness but only with the things of the light,
to no longer trust in the wisdom of the world but only on the wisdom and knowledge that comes from above, (Jas. 1:5) nor depend on corruptible earthly authorities to swiftly administer justice, but only in the power of God to deliver us from evil.
 
And just as we have been redeemed spiritually, so one day we look forward to the liberation of our bodies from death itself when our mortal and corruptible forms are transformed into that which is immortal and incorruptible and from that which is imperfect to that which is perfect (1 Cor. 15:51-55, 1 Thess. 4:13-18) and lastly, creation itself will be delivered from the curse placed upon it because of sin when it is made into a new and better world (Rev. 21-22) and liberated from the hand of our adversary Satan, who presently claims dominion, when he is given his final sentence and cast into an everlasting tormenting fire prepared for him and his followers (Mt. 25:41, Rev. 20:10-15) and in that new world which will be made, there will be no sin, no death, no decay, nor any curse, nor any evil, or violence, suffering, misery, grief, sorrow, mourning, pain, or hardship of any sort for all of these will pass away with this present world.  Instead, there will only be light, life, happiness, joy, contentment, peace, and rest before the Lord God Almighty.
 
 
 
"Lord Jesus I need you.
 
 
I realize that I am a sinner
who has fallen short of the glory of God
and that my goodness falls short
of your standard of Moral perfection.
 
Please forgive me of all of my sins.
Come into my heart and into my life
to be the Savior and Lord of my life.
Make me into the servant and follower
that you want me to be.
In your name Lord Jesus, I pray.
 
 
Amen."
 
 
Know that God is not concerned with the words that you use to call upon Him forgiveness, but with the attitude of your heart and if you have, with all sincerity, have asked Christ to forgive you of your sins, placing your trust in Him only for your salvation and in nothing else, then your sins are forgiven and your place in Heaven is certain.
