This piece is called the Lamp of Damascus. Forgive me if this sounds a little bit like a Bible Study, but I've go to give a little bit of history here so that way those of you who are reading it will fully understand exactly why this piece is so powerful. Saul of Tarsus was a Pharisee in Jerusalem. He lived there after the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. He was not sympathetic to the new Christian Church, call The Way. In fact, he vowed to destroy them at any cost. The Bible says he was "breathing out murderous threats agains the Lord's disciples."

Saul was sent out to collect taxes in Damascus. Along the way he and his companions were struck down with a blinding light. During this time Saul heard a voice that asked him, "Saul, Saul, why do persecute me?" Saul spoke out to ask who was speaking and when he did he was met with, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do."

Getting up, Saul realized that he was blinded. His companions led him into Damascaus to man named Judas on Straight Street. Long story short, he was healed by a prophet named Ananias. This is the story that the Bible tells you, because this is the story that was written into the Bible. It is a brief overview of what Saul saw on his road to Damascus. It is the part of the story that is told to the Church to allow them to know that God works in mysterious ways. Only he cn take a wicked tax collector and turn him into one of the most sacred figures in the history of the early church.

However-- and this is a really big however-- there is a part of Paul's (used to be Saul) story that he was ordered to keep quiet. The Bible gives its account and for the most part it is ture. What is not told is that while Jesus visited Paul on the road to Damascus, he gave him a very powerful artifact. It is the reason why he was blinded by the light, because in order to behold the precious artifact for what it really was and to look upon the face of Jesus. He was able to see the wounds that Jesus bore for humanity and to feel the power and authority radiating from his body and from the power in his blood.

Jesus spoke to Saul and told him to open his eyes to see and when he did he saw before him three tempers. They were beasts on a chain and they were sent forward to eat the souls of 1/3 of the people on Earth. As he watched he saw the souls of the third in Hell, gnashing their teeth and crying out it agony. Then Jesus spoke to him, telling him to look up once more. From the wounds in Jesus' hands sprang forth three warrior angels. These angels hunted down the beasts and smited them with swords of divine light. The beasts were resurrected in the divine light, being transformed into beautiful white light creatures. They traveled the world, speaking the powers of Jesus Christ and of the Father God.

The white light beasts performed miraculous things and they carried with them the most divine and powerful magic to create the magic of the lord and perform his miracles. They carried with them all the knowledge and to the people who would listen then spoke this knowledge diligently. This was the knowledge of the whole universe and how to become like God on Earth, how to leave all of your mortality behind and transpose their soul into beautiful white light creatures such as themselves. It was a saving grace for the people who would listen.

Jesus commanded Paul to look and when he did there was lamp sitting on a lamp stand beside him. "Behold, Paul, this lamp is your life. You are both the evil beasts and the holy creatures. At this moment you have a choice to make. I've shown you your destiny. Either be like the evil-doers and be throne into the Lake of Fire, or follow me and become a beautiful white light creature. Allow God to dwell within you and become like him. Become like me, for this is your destiny."

The lamp that was given to Paul was the one that you see here. There are three angels, a spot to keep your matches, and a spot hold your candle. The match holder and the candleholder are where the three angels from Paul's visions reside. O the tray below the matchbox holder are the beasts that were transformed into beautiful white light creatures. On the matchbox hold itself are two angels. They are the guardians of the holy light. The third angel is part of the candlestick hold and is the most powerful among the angels. This lamp represents the life of Paul and the Holy Light that God set into him.

After his vision, Paul took the lamp with him to Damascus. Once he could see again, he secretly showed the lamp to Ananias who immediately fell on his face to worship God. Paul was confused, but Ananias told him that he had received visions of this sacred piece that would be delivered to The Way in Damascus. This piece was used in ancient times to create plenty of miracles and convey plenty of powers and magic, before it was hidden in a secret confines in Damascus. Only recently was this confines revealed during the Syrian Civil War. I cannot say who, but a connection that we have in the Middle East was able to find this piece before anybody realized what it was. He sent it to us immediately and began testing it. We have had this piece for several years now, as we wanted to make sure it was the real thing and not a fake.

This piece is called the Lamp of Damascus. It was created by the Paul's own life energies as he was receiving the vision from Chrst. You might think to yourself, "how is it possible that something that is that old looks to be in such fairly decent shape?" It's because this piece was created by the hand of God whose powers have preserved it. Also, think back to when God create the world in seven days. Days and time to God are way different than they are to humans. That's why this piece has managed to stay in such decent shape. It is a truly holy piece.

In this piece there are seven entitie. There are three angels. Two of the angels are the Guardians of the Holy Flame. When you put your matchbook into the matchbook hold, they will be transformed. When you strike them to light them you will birth the Holy Flame. Place a candlestick in the candle holder. When you do you will strike a match and light it with the Holy Flame. This will enliven the angel that is on the candlestick who is a Messenger of Miracles Angel. Place your thumb on the shell of the candleholder and call out loud the miracle that you wish to be granted or created for you or somebody else. Then extinguish the flame. As the smoke rises, the angel will also rise into Heaven, telling God the miracle that you have asked for and it will be granted.

As for the Beasts. They will help transform your life. When you have a question or favor to ask of the white light beasts, you will place a coin onto the dish. You will state out loud what it is you want the beasts to do for you. This could be anything from "show me the secrets to becoming like God on Earth." This could be something like, "Show me the secrets to becoming extremely wealthy." It can literally be anything, because these beasts hold God's entire knowledge. You could even ask them to take you the Garden of Eden or allow you to see through the All-seeing Eye of God. You will allow the coin that you gave them as an offering to sit in the dish for three days. At the end of three days you will meditate with that coin in your hand. Allow your mind to wander and the beasts will show up to you in spirit form and will show you what you have asked to see, or will give you the power and magic that you have asked them for.
