The
story in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (FE for short) for the GameCube
is a little tedious at times, but for all that it does give us some important
insights.
Geopolitics
The
story centers around the invasion of the kingdom of Crimea by the neighboring
kingdom of Daein and the subsequent efforts to defeat Daein and resurrect
Crimea. It is revealed that the King of Daein,
Ashnard, has no interest in Crimean territory:
He only wishes to plunge the whole continent of Tellius into the turmoil
of war to awaken the god of chaos who is trapped inside a small metal disc
called the Lehran medallion so he can rule all peoples.
This
is a noteworthy bit of foreshadowing.
This game was released in 2005, yet in it we clearly see the outlines of
what transpired in the Ukraine in 2014 (and what was meant to transpire). In 2014 the demonic globalists launched their
coup against the government of the Ukraine, the southernmost part of which, it
will be remembered, is named Crimea.
Having failed the year prior to draw Russia into a war in Syria over
phony chemical weapons charges against Pres Assad, they engineered the Maidan
revolution in the Ukraine to bring about the same end: a great catastrophic war with the West, World
War III, from the ashes of which would rise Antichrist, posing as the man of
peace but in reality the puppet of the true ‘god of chaos’.
It
should surprise no one that the efforts to goad Russia into war are ongoing:
In
the FE world the main power on Tellius is the Begnion Empire, which in its major
features resembles the Roman Catholic papacy, except here the Pope is a woman
(the Apostle) and the college of cardinal bishops is called the Senate. Through the heroes’ interactions with the
Begnion Empire, a revelation is made about the Elite of the real world Vatican
and those under the wider umbrella advocating the one world governmental
system: The underground trafficking in
human beings is part and parcel of their life:
The
Apostle Sanaki sends Ike and his mercenaries out on several missions that
expose the trafficking, especially one tied to a fat slug named Duke Tanas, one
of the most powerful men of the land, a Senator, who considers himself a
connoisseur of beauty. The lusting they
make him exude to possess one of the surviving members of a royal clan named
Reyson is not that difficult to imagine in those tied to the extensive
trafficking rings of the Vatican, the English royal family, Jeffrey Epstein,
etc.
Throughout
FE, the player is treated to numerous suggestions that countries practicing
isolationism are bad and that ‘accepting the differences’ of others is good
(i.e., multiculturalism, pro-LGBTQ), furthering the ‘one world’ and ‘be your
own god’ messages of the globalists within the video gaming domain.
Esoteric
Symbols
There
are plenty here. The most glaring is the
name of the goddess of Tellius: Ashera,
who shares this name with the demonic fertility goddess who caused so many of
the Jewish people to fall into sin. It
is this Ashera whom the Apostle Sanaki is said to be the representative of. Perhaps in this we are being told that behind
the Roman Catholic Pope (whom the Apostle symbolizes) is a demonic force.
There
are other references that connect back to Asherah. One of the nations in FE is named Phoenicis,
which puts us in mind of Phoenicia, of Tyre and Sidon its main cities, one of
whose major deities was Astarte, a variant of Asherah:
There
is a Palmeni Temple in FE in which there are priests of Ashera, and from which
an Ashera staff that imparts healing may be obtained (very much in line with
the fertility/life aspects of Asherah worship):
Palmeni
is very close to Palmyra, thus bringing to mind the Arch of Palmyra or Arch of
Baal, which has been in the news of late:
https://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/2018/october/arch-of-palmyra-in-dc-coincidence-or-pagan-invitation-nbsp
Baal
is often spoken of as the consort of Asherah:
It
is difficult to escape the Asherah imagery woven within the digital fabric of
this game.
Aside
from that, there is a Manichaean/dualistic belief system at the heart of FE as
well. Every person is described as a mix
of order and chaos. Only those whose order
and chaos are well-balanced can handle the Fire Emblem/Lehran medallion without
going mad.
In
the sequel to Path of Radiance, we see this idea brought to its apogee,
the hermaphrodite or androgyne, as the god of chaos, Yune, unites with the
goddess of balance, Ashera, to become Ashenura, who created Tellius in the
past.
This
is consistent with the teachings of the ancient mystery cults: The union of opposites unlocks the potential
powers hidden within living beings. For
these cults, this is how the Fall is reversed, how mankind attains to
godlikeness:
In
short, it is the ongoing effort to become gods after the manner taught by
Satan: not by humility and the reception
of God’s Grace that follows upon that, but by pride and knowledge and
alienation from God.
Then
there is the Arthurian imagery. Ike’s father
is named Gawain, and he formed a band of soldiers-for-hire called the Greil
Mercenaries. Gawain was the name of one
of King Arthur’s Knights of the Round Table, whose most important quest was to
find the Holy Grail and take it to the Middle East:
The
similarity of ‘Grail’ and ‘Greil’ seems more than coincidental. The ‘grail’ of FE’s Gawain is the Lehran
medallion, the holder of the god Yune, a source of great power:
This
is ultimately a faint picture of the Grail in alchemy: the philosopher’s stone, a substance that
likewise is full of power - imparting health, longevity, immortality, etc.:
And
just as the Arthurian Gawain must face the Green Knight, so the FE Gawain had
to face the Black Knight:
Finally,
the name of this game itself (Path of Radiance) and of its sequel on the
Wii (Radiant Dawn), combined with all that we have seen above, is
suggestive of occult influence: that the
goal of man is achieving illumination imparted through secret knowledge,
artifacts, and ritual acts: the
illumination, therefore, of Lucifer/the devil, not that given by God through
the saints and angels in the Orthodox Church.
The
Eastern Religious Invasion
FE
validates what was written in St Seraphim Rose’s book Orthodoxy and the
Religion of the Future: The demonically
aligned Elite are pushing Eastern religions like Hinduism to undermine the last
vestiges of Christianity in the world.
This
takes us back to the two deities of FE, Ashera the goddess of order and Yune
the god of chaos. These two are not so
subtle representatives of the Hindu gods Brahma the creator and Shiva the
destroyer.
In
addition, the destruction of Crimea at the beginning of FE and its restoration
at the end is also a good illustration of the Hindu concept of the circular
nature of time, that history is nothing more than a constant cycle of birth,
destruction, and rebirth.
This
is also a good summary of the globalist Elite mindset as it relates to the
world wars they manufacture and unleash:
Playing the roles of Shiva and Brahma, they wish to destroy the world in
order to remake it according to their religious/ideological beliefs.
Thus
do many of the makers of entertainment lead people into the lap of evil. But as the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ
approaches, we turn our attention to better things:
Christ is born; glorify
Him! Christ comes from heaven; come to welcome Him! Christ is on earth; lift up
your hearts! Sing to the Lord, O earth! Be exalted and sing with hearty
gladness, O ye people, sing His praise for He is glorified!
When that furnace dripped
with dew it showed the image of the wonder-transcending nature, for the flame ,
it burned not the children it had received, just as the Fire of Godhead burned
not the Virgin’s womb where it descended. Therefore, let us lift our voices in
songs of praise: “Let all creation bless the Lord and exalt Him throughout all
ages!”
A mystery! Strange and
wonderful I see! Heaven is a cave on earth! The cherubic throne is the Virgin!
The God Whom cannot be contained is placed in the manger, a noble place, O
Christ our God. Him do we praise and magnify!
Our Savior, the dayspring
from the East, has visited us from on high, and we, who were in darkness and
shadow, have found the truth, for the Lord is born of the Virgin!
