The Georgia Guidestones take the form of "10 Commandments".
- Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
- Guide reproduction wisely — improving fitness and diversity.
- Unite humanity with a living new language.
- Rule passion — faith — tradition — and all things with tempered reason.
- Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
- Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
- Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
- Balance personal rights with social duties.
- Prize truth — beauty — love — seeking harmony with the infinite.
- Be not a cancer on the earth — Leave room for nature — Leave room for nature.
The Georgia Guidestones are assembled into a monolithic granite monument erected in 1980 in Elbert County, Georgia, in the United States. A set of 10 guidelines is inscribed on the structure in eight modern languages, and a shorter message is inscribed at the top of the structure in four ancient language scripts: Babylonian, Classical Greek, Sanskrit, and Egyptian hieroglyphs.
The monument stands at the highest point in Elbert County, about 90 miles (140 km) east of Atlanta, 45 miles (72 km) from Athens, and 9 miles (14 km) north of the center of Elberton. One slab stands in the center, with four arranged around it. A capstone lies on top of the five slabs, which are astronomically aligned. An additional stone tablet, which is set in the ground a short distance to the west of the structure, provides some notes on the history and purpose of the Guidestones. The structure is sometimes referred to as an "American Stonehenge".[1] The monument is 19 feet 3 inches (5.87 m) tall, made from six granite slabs weighing 237,746 pounds (107,840 kg) in all.[2] The designer and meaning of the Guidestones are unknown, leading to speculation and conspiracy theory.

Our small assembly had a lively discussion of these monuments and their English inscriptions the other day at our Sacramental dinner table.
Our conclusion is that they are most likely a Prophetic communication to Mankind, are a genuine "Message From God" and represent a brand new set of commandments for the inevitable coming environmental apocalypse.
Are you aware that Professor Stephen Hawking believes that for several, if not 10s of thousands of years, the only habitable places in our solar system will be sustainable colonies on either the moon or Mars?
Are you aware that the chemical, biological and environmental tipping point that will cause a near total extinction of all life on Earth is viewed by many of the world's most renowned scientists as having occurred sometime between 1917 and 1930? After that time the eventual die off of 90+ percent of all life on earth was both certain and inevitable. The only variable from that point forward was the speed and date of that happening.
The longest any scientist who understands our atmosphere and climate would predict oxygen dependent life on earth would survive is about 2300 years. After that date the slow but steady pace of oxygen depletion will make lighting a fire with out outside sources of oxygen impossible. 2300 years is merely a few seconds of the Earth's geological timeline, and only a tiny fraction of the 200,000 or so years homo sapiens has existed.
Are you aware that for any oxygen breathing creature, cellular survival depends on the tiny "fires" to use oxygen to convert stored food energy into a useable form. Life itself is a tiny fire within everything that moves.
Are you aware that all of this has caused by the voracious consumption of natural resources into profit, and the unbelievable growth of human population?
We discussed these things at length, Googled for a few hours, and met to discuss what this means to the human species.
We decided that as we humans had failed to honor God's earliest command - to use our God-given dominion over the earth and all living things to was to nurture and preserve for our children and "their children's children". To fail to honor that command was apparently a serious error, and God/Reality will respond with truly Biblical wrath.
We decided that the Guidestones ring out as the truth and knowledge intended to lift any human survivors into a 100,000 years of wiser decisions.
Basically, in 10,000 years or so, returning humans will find these stones - and thus learn God's commandments that represent a path for rebuilding our species in a rational way that WILL HONOR GOD'S ORIGINAL PURPOSE IN GIVING US INTELLIGENT DOMINION OVER THIS PLANET.
So, within 30 to perhaps 200 years, it will happen.

Here is what we believe God has sent to us - an inspired or perhaps even a Divine message. We feel it is likely that the anonymous person who paid for the creation and installation of this monument is likely just a shy Prophet no different Isaiah or John the Baptist.
He, like so many Old Testament prophets, was called to avoid taking credit for inspirational truth - and tries to let God's truth sing out without judgement, the pressure of conformity or assignment to any type of faith or cultural imperative.
What can those of us alive right now do?
Our assembly simply believes that we are called to read them, ponder them, discuss them and then encourage anyone aware of these new commandments to decide for yourself what they represent.
We also pray for our species, all that will be lost on this beautiful blue marble floating in space, and beg God/Reality's eventual restoration of some form of habitat for oxygen based species on this planet.

It sounds a bit depressing, but it is simply the truth. So here is what is inscribed on these massive granite stones in 8 modern and 4 ancient languages carved so deeply into the hardest granite that they will last 10,000 years:.
- Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
- Guide reproduction wisely — improving fitness and diversity.
- Unite humanity with a living new language.
- Rule passion — faith — tradition — and all things with tempered reason.
- Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
- Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
- Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
- Balance personal rights with social duties.
- Prize truth — beauty — love — seeking harmony with the infinite.
- Be not a cancer on the earth — Leave room for nature — Leave room for nature.
