Hurricane Beryl was originally supposed to strike Corpus Christi, Texas, but changed course to make landfall in Matagorda. Beryl is a precious stone of the emerald variety and Corpus Christ is the corpse or body of Christ. Matagorda means ‘fat kill’, something we find reference to throughout the Bible in the form of sacrifices. The book of Daniel describes a man with a body like beryl, shining bright, which many believe is a pre-incarnate appearance of Christ. In Revelation 21 it is said that emerald is one of the foundations of the New Jerusalem. In Revelation 4 a rainbow shining like an emerald surrounded the throne in heaven. A rainbow and emerald are also key symbols in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, written by Frank Baum, the theosophist. Tonight on Ground Zero (7-10 pm, pacific time), Ryan Gable talks with Clyde Lewis about BERYLING TOWARDS THE SMARAGDINE APOCALYPSE.
