Reading of "Rulers of Evil" F. Tupper Saussy by Jörg Glismann Chap 3&4

EVERY RULED SOCIETY has some form of holy scripture. The holy scriptures of Caesarean Rome were the prophecies and ritual directions contained in the ten Sibylline gospels and Virgil’s Aeneid.

The Aeneid implied that every Roman’s duty was to sacrifice his individuality, as heroic Aeneas had done, to the greater glory of Rome and Pontifex Maximus. The Sibyllines, borrowing from Isaiah’s much earlier prophecy of Jesus Christ, prophesied that when Caesar Augustus succeeded his uncle Julius as Pontifex Maximus he would rule the world as “Prince of Peace, Son of God . ” Augustus would issue in a “new world order,” as indeed he did.  The Sibyllines and the Aeneid were so beloved by the government
priests that they were considered part of the Roman constitution.  The same scriptures were made part of the United States Constitution when the mottoes “ANNUIT COEPTIS” and “NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM,” taken from the Aeneid and the Sibyllines respectively, were incorporated, by the Act of July 28, 1 7 8 2 , into
the Great Seal of the United States.

The Sibyllines and the Aeneid were open only to priests and certain privileged persons. The people learned their sacred content by the trickle-down of priestly retelling. W h e n the Old and New Testaments were adopted as the Empire’s official sacred writings
they, too, were given to the exclusive care of the priests.  And in accord with Roman tradition, the people learned sacred content from discretionary retelling.  This had to be, for the sake of the Holy Empire. For should the people acquire biblical knowledge,
they would know that Pontifex Maximus was not a legitimate Christian entitlement. Knowing this, they would not bow to his supremacy.
