The three sixes

The middle part of the bell-cum-watch tower located immediately beneath the bell chamber is divided into three balconies and each balcony has its own spiral staircase -- thus, three spirals are equal to three sixes!


Three bells on east side of the chamber, six bars divided by three and worn upon each of the crown and clappers hanging within the mouths are taking a peek by the railing.

The spiral

Once viewed from upstairs and the starting point of the spiral staircase is structured right side, the swirl of the ladder is seen as an outline of a 6th number or an inverted stroke of "6" if structured left.

A spiral, patterned after the curve found in nature as in seashells, human fingerprints and movement of the galaxies in the outer space, is likewise one of the signs of the new age movement.

The time and the emblem

It's the SIXth hour, SIX minutes [and SIX seconds?] of the clock in the morning at the time of clicking the camera [without intending to do so] and the photograph reveals the bell support framework is patterned after a Masonic emblem.

Men in black cassocks

I had a dream, a nightmare, at one o'clock dawn of September 24, 2017, this very day. I saw a gathering of men clad in black cassocks outside in what looked like a secluded forest in the dead of night. They chanted in unison and full-throated; but the chants were demonic! As soon as hearing this, I spoke in tongues in full voice to rebuke the devilish warble. As I spoke in tongues, I saw myself levitating inside a huge hollowed upright structure. It looked like a belfry. I reached the ceiling just before the large bells are situated. Somebody who heard my frenzied groaning in my sleep woke me up and I was delivered from this nightmare.

The Pagoda Bell Tower

Living a life of simplicity even in the life of faith spares Nature from destruction; and when Nature is being compromised, such is the gauge if life were lived in excess. Construction of the new bell tower was, indeed, unnecessary since one already existed at the foot of the Big Cross atop a Noah's Ark-inspired cathedral. But, the construction was pushed through and at the expense of a century-old acacia tree! Without the belfry, salvation can still be attained if and when that which is CENTRAL to our FAITH is prioritized and celebrated the proper way. Damage is already done, all right; and the only way to clean up this mess is self-forgiveness and preoccupation to proper celebration of the 'breaking of bread' instead of being busy with unnecessary things to faith. But, the ill effects of natural desecration linger so that, whether we like it or not, we are living with the consequence.
