1. The bear that appeared in the clouds over Istanbul, Turkey last September (at the start of the Lord's 7th month, no less) was NOT Callisto as I thought. Instead, the clouds were a detailed sketch of the Russian bear. Bears have been the symbol of Russia for centuries. But why?

2. Before I ask the big question, here's the link to the original video first. The channel 'Genenguy HHN' captured the bear's face hanging over Istanbul. Thank God it's still up. Video> via YouTube #Istanbul #Turkey #Russia #Bear #clouds (Ok. On with it!)

3. So, how did I get it wrong last September? And why the heck is a Russian bear floating over Istanbul!? I'll explain. Let's thread. (Attached: my original tweet on September 20th)

4. Ok. Let's start with why I thought the bear cloud was Callisto. Aka how I got it wrong... (Well, not the bear part. Hell, that cloud's bear-head was a sphere. The thing was three dimensional. Freaked everyone out!)

5. First of all, 2021 was the year of figures. Within six months of the Lord's New Year (March 21st) all three forms of Zeus had risen up from the flames and fire. Zues appears as a man, a bull and a swan. By September I had Hellenism on the brain.

6. The shapes and figures always appeared over a place that had special meaning to that figure. I wrote about it as much as I could. Honestly, the figures lead me to a ton of discoveries about places I never knew existed.

7. As an example, let's take the fire bull. I thought the Brazen Bull torture method was a thing of the past, as was the pagan worship of bull idols. But I should've learned from the golden calf of Exodus: there are bull idols in every city and state around the globe!!!

8. And then there's the fact that Istanbul is located in Turkey. Turkey was at the center of Hellenism. The Roman city of worship was Pergamon, just south of Istanbul. And Tarsus was named after Zeus's bull form. (Note: the apostate Paul came from Tarsus! What a hint!)

9. And that's no small thing, being located near Pergamon! Though raided by Italy, Germany and Britain for their museums/pagan temples, the giant hillside of Rome's house of worship still remains. It reminds me of today's megachurches. See that huge ampitheater plus extra bldgs?

10. Let's ignore Hillsong for a second and look at some other megachurches. This is a photo of Lakeside church's ampitheater. And guess what?

11. Megachurches have numerous buildings, just like Pergamon once did. These 'con artists' and 'charlatans' as Jesus called them - they all have a 'campus' of buildings and rooms for brainwashing and isolating their members. Very Roman and Hellenistic. Totally violates Matt 23!!!

12. Anyhow, that's why I looked up the bear under Hellenism and found Callisto. But it wasn't Callisto. This bear was over Istanbul - and it was clearly a Russian bear. Which brings me to my second point: "How the heck was I supposed to link Istanbul with Russia!?"

13. I mean, I'm just not young enough to know anything about Russia's symbol in the form of a bear. I now know that a bear has been used to symbolize Russia for nearly 500 years - especially during the Cold War!!! But I missed that. I never knew about these until now.

14. And don't get me wrong - it's not even an old symbol!!! I've found recent cartoons about Russia and her bear symbol in recent politicial cartoons too! Here a bear is eating Ukraine. We're expected to know the bear is Russia! Consider me educated.

15. But the question still remains: what the HELL does Russia have to do with Istanbul!!!!??? I'm dead serious here. I may know that the bear above Istanbul was a dead ringer for Russia - but it sure don't mean I know WHY!

16. I mean, that bear is LOOMING over Istanbul, like it's going to eat it or something!!! Why in the world is the symbol of Russia appearing in the skies of Turkey!? I mean, I have no clue. Maybe you do. But I am totally and completely clueless.

17. C'mon. Istanbul is the land of Greece, Rome, Catholicism and then Islam. It was once known as Constantinople. I have a soft spot for Hague Sofia, for it is the only church I know of that focuses on the Holy Spirit rather than idols. And it had amazing Roman records of Jesus.

18. I highly recommend you read the records found at the Hague Sofia. You can find them in The Archko Volume. I refer to it all the time. I even have a hard copy next to my bed. I grab it so often, it ties with the Book of Enoch for constant use!

19. But I do not think of Russia when I see Istanbul, hear the word Constantinople or envision the history of Alexander the Great across its shores. Hell, the favorite disciple of Christ was held in Turkey. And Jesus speaks to His followers there in Revelations. But Russia!?

20. So, I'm off to find out the link. If you live there, you probably know it already. I'll be back! Love!

21. Oh! Russians are using Istanbul to hide from civil rights sanctions! No wonder the bear had that 'tsk tsk' look! (Isn't it ironic that ISLAM has so few sanctions!? WOW.) "In Istanbul and Dubai, Russians pile into property to shelter from sanctions"> reuters.com/world/europe/i…
