On May 14th 1606 Captain Pedro Fernandez de Quiros declared he took possession of the

lands South from the Equator to the Pole for Jesus Christ and will be known as the Southland
of the Holy Ghost ....it was a prophecy being fulfilled today when Jesus Christ who is the Holy
Ghost the Father The Comforter was reborn into Australia which is Ephraim Hebrew for
Bethlehem to cast out the wicked of His Kingdom which comes to the earth because He is
here, Emmanuel God with us upon the Earth His Temple. Brian Leonard Golightly Marshall.

FOUR HUNDRED YEARS ago, on May 14, 1606, Captain Pedro Fernandez de Quiros, a
Portuguese explorer in the service of Spain, made landfall on an island which is now part of
Vanuatu (formerly New Hebrides). He believed that he had reached the fabled Unknown
South Land and, with great ceremony, took possession of it for Spain and Portugal. In fact, in
a breathtakingly bold proclamation and with great religious fervour, he took possession of a
great part of the whole southern hemisphere. One version of the translated proclamation
goes as follows:
Let the heavens, the earth, the waters with all their
creatures and all those here present witness that I,
Captain Pedro Fernandez de Quiros, in the name of
Jesus Christ, hoist this emblem of the Holy Cross
on which Jesus Christ's person was crucified and
whereon He gave His life for the ransom and
remedy of the human race. On this day of
Pentecost, 14 May 1606, I take possession of all
this part of the South as far as the pole in the name
of Jesus, which from now on shall be called the
Southern land Austrialia of the Holy Spirit and this
always and forever to the end that to all natives, in

all the said lands, the holy, sacred Evangel may be

preached zealously and openly.

The choice of the name, the wording of the proclamation and the ceremony of erecting the
crucifix which accompanied it are all significant and were to have consequences in the later
history of Australia. In the first instance, the name Austrialia (in honour of the "House of
Austria" as the Hapsburgs were called in Spain) was later incorrectly translated as Australia
by an early translator and taken up in this form by Matthew Flinders. There is further
confusion here because, from very ancient times, the fabled south land was called Terra
Australis Incognita.
Flinders originally used the term Terra Australis as the heading for his general chart of what
had hitherto been called New Holland, but he personally preferred the name Australia:
Had I permitted myself any innovation upon the
original term, it would have been to convert it into
AUSTRALIA as being more agreeable to the ear,
and an assimilation to the names of the other great
portions of the earth.

However, official printed recognition of the name Australia was not granted until 1830 with
the publication in England of The Australia Directory. We may say of Quiros, then, that like
Amerigo Vespucci, he "discovered" the name of a continent but not the thing itself.
Where did the idea of Terra Australis Incognita come from originally? In fact, it can be dated
back as far as Aristotle and, perhaps, is even older. Some commentators credit Pythagoras
with the idea. The Greeks, who were very big on symmetry and ratio, felt that there ought to
be a land mass in the south to "balance" the known land mass in the north. And so, long
before "the unknown south land" was discovered, it was often depicted in maps. During the
early medieval period, such maps were more often concerned with religious ideas than with
actual geography. Thus, for instance, the famous Hereford Mappa Mundi of about 1300
shows Jerusalem at the centre of the earth and east at the top. Sometimes the maps
included the location of Eden. Many also depicted strange monsters, giant whirlpools, and so
on.
But some early Christian commentators felt that to postulate an unknown south land was
almost heretical, since no mention of it was contained in Holy Scripture. There were other
problems too. http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-146174871.html
