1 “Adam is placed in the Garden of Eden to tend it but there is no suitable helper found for him. Therefore God opens up the flesh to take one of his rib bones, This is symbolic of Capricorn whose astrological rulership is over the
bone structure found in man. From man’s bones a woman is formed, symbolised by Cancer, the opposite sign in the Zodiac, which is governed by
the Moon that rules the female gender.”
“It is the Serpent or Ophiuchus, the constellation denoted by the serpent that entices the woman to eat”

CANCER-CAPRICORN
The Sun's passage by precession through the sphere of Cancer with its opposite sign Capricorn, designates the early third of the Atlantean period, which was intensely watery as the whole earth was covered by a dense, drenching fog. The Niebelung, or "Children of the Mist," lived then in the basins of the Earth. Cancer was not then represented by the same symbol as today; in ancient times it was pictorially figured as a beetle or scarab. This was the signature of the soul, for then mankind was much less body than soul.
The sign Cancer is watery in its nature, and the fish part of Capricorn, the opposite sign, also helps to symbolize this state of life under water when the Sun went through the watery sign Cancer by precession. The Moon, the planet of fecundation, points mystically to this period of germination, when mankind first commenced to exercise the Creative function at the dictates of desire inculcated by the Lucifer Spirits. Thus mankind opened the Gate of physical Life through Cancer, and strayed into the terrestrial sphere, but opposite stood Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn, ready to slay them with his scythe, and usher them through the Gate of Death back into the spiritual realms where they are at home.
Capricorn was the opposite of Cancer and embodied the ideal that as the goat climbs the mountains, so man must leave the basins of Atlantis and come up
from the mist.

'The significance of David's work lies in finding substantial evidence of Mesolithic settlement in the Stonehenge landscape - previously largely lacking apart from the enigmatic posts - and being able to demonstrate that there were repeated visits
to this area from the 9th to the 5th millennia BC.'
'What we found was the nearest secure watering hole for animals and people, a type of all year round fresh water source.‘ He described the site as 'pivotal'.
Dr Josh Pollard, from Southampton University and the Stonehenge Riverside Project, said he thought the team may have just hit the tip of the iceberg in terms of
Mesolithic activity focused on the River Avon around Amesbury.
1The Sumerian Kings ListAfter the kingship descended from heaven, the kingship was in Eridug. In Eridug, Alulim became king; he
ruled for 28800 years. Alaljar ruled for 36000 years. 2 kings; they ruled for *64800 years. Then Eridug fell
and the kingship was taken to Bad-tibira. In Bad-tibira, En-men-lu-ana ruled for 43200 years. En-men-gal-
ana ruled for 28800 years. Dumuzid, the shepherd, ruled for 36000 years. 3 kings; they ruled for
**108000 years. Then Bad-tibira fell

After the flood had swept over, and the kingship had descended
from heaven, the kingship was in Kic (Kish). In Kic, Jucur became

Question: Why did the length of Earthly rule decrease so much – from reigns
of 1200 years to only 126 years for Gilgamesh/Gilgamec? Why the sudden
and extreme 1000 year drop/change? Are we really dealing in earthly solar
years @ 365.24 days at this time, as Enoch points to 365 so eloquently?
The problem is, Enoch the ‘Watcher’ is 5000 years earlier in the past Aeon.
1During the period from c. 2350 to 2150 BC, we continue to see Elam largely through Mesopotamian eyes. This was the time of the Old Akkadian dynasty in southern Mesopotamia which was founded by Sargon of Agade and ruled from
an as yet unidentified capital in central Iraq.

Gill Broussard also points to the same time marker for ‘Noah’, although it’s my own opinion this is a later REGIONAL flood event and not a global cataclysm
which was recorded thousands of years before in ice core samples and tree ring data. 2349 BC is still a very interesting date for other contexts
Climate change and the collapse of the Akkadian empire: Evidence from the deep sea
The Akkadian empire ruled Mesopotamia from the headwaters of the Tigris-Euphrates Rivers to the Persian Gulf during the late third millennium B.C.
Archaeological evidence has shown that this highly developed civilization collapsed abruptly near 4170 ± 150 calendar yr B.P., perhaps related to a
shift to more arid conditions. Detailed paleoclimate records to test this assertion from Mesopotamia are rare, but changes in regional aridity are
preserved in adjacent ocean basins.
We document Holocene changes in regional aridity using mineralogic and geochemical analyses of a marine sediment core from the Gulf of Oman,
which is directly downwind of Mesopotamian dust source areas and archaeological sites. Our results document a very abrupt increase in eolian
dust and Mesopotamian aridity, accelerator mass spectrometer radiocarbon dated to 4025 ± 125 calendar yr B.P., which persisted for ~300
yr (2154 BC [2304 BC (+/- 150 years)] – 2004 BC)

Recently Master and Woldai (2004) drew attention to a 3.4 km diameter circular lake that appeared when a marshland
area was drained in Iraq. The authors suggest the most likely date of the inferred impact was around 2300 BC, fitting it in
with Courty’s (1998) anomalous, and presumed extraterrestrial, layer of melted debris from Tell Leilan in Syria. If the impact case could be proved we might finally have an
explanation for the widespread collapse of civilisation traditionally dated to around 2300 BC in the Middle East.
“A few dozen sporadic impacts in the tens of megatons, and a few in the 100 to 1000 megaton range, must
have occurred in the past 5000 years”. (Clube and Napier, 1982)

1The discovery that there was a real deluge to which the
Sumerian and the Hebrew stories of the Flood alike go back
does not of course prove any single detail in either of those
stories.This deluge was not universal, but a local disaster confined
to the lower valley of the Tigris and the Euphrates, affecting
an area 400 miles long and 100 miles across, but for the
occupants of the valley that was the whole world!
2All the Miracles of the Bible, Page 33 By Herbert Lockyer
2Sir Leonard Woolley and Dr. Langdon who both
discredited the Genesis record of the Flood, went out and
excavated the regions of Ur and Kish in 1927 and found so
much unmistakeable evidence of a flood that in March
1927 they wrote to the London times;“We were loathe to believe we had discovered
confirmation of the deluge of Genesis, but there is
no doubt about it now”
Suffice to say that there is an ancient Chinese story wherein, in the year 2346“BC”, the first emperor Yao meets the Divine Archer Shên I (clearly a version of Apollo). At the time there are terrible catastrophes including ten suns in the sky,
famines, floods etc. The Divine Archer sets out to seek the cause of these catastrophic events and finds that they are due to the activities of one Fei Lien (a wind spirit)
(Werner 1995).
Now, remembering the list of tree-ring dates, let us look at the associations of this story. In the Chinese stories Fei Lien, who was responsible for the calamities in the 24th century “BC” was also a minister of King Chòu. King Chòu is the last emperor of
the Shang dynasty which ends traditionally in the 12th century “BC”.
Hence, preserved in a Chinese story is a link from the 24th to the 12th century BC. But the Greek Apollo shoots arrows at the time of Troy (traditionally 12th century
“BC”) while in China at the time of Chòu (traditionally 12th century “BC”) one No-cha finds a wonderful bow and three magic arrows...he shoots an arrow towards the south-west 'a red trail indicated the path of the arrow, which hissed as it flew' (a
bolide description?) (Werner 1995). Subsequently it is observed that the arrow bears the description 'Arrow which shakes the heavens'.
So, close to two of the tree-ring events we have Apollo associations. At 2345 BC we have the Divine Archer - Apollo. At the Fall of Troy, traditionally 12th century BC we
have Apollo bringing plague. Perhaps with Arthur and Mongán and plague around AD 540 we have aspects of Lugh the Celtic Apollo.
“At this time terrible calamities began to lay waste the land. Ten suns appeared in the sky, the heat of which burnt up all the crops; dreadful storms uprooted trees and
overturned houses; floods overspread the country. Near the Tung-t'ing Lake a serpent, a thousand feet long, devoured human beings, and wild boars of enormous
size did great damage in the eastern part of the kingdom. Yao ordered Shên I to go and slay the devils and monsters who were causing all this mischief, placing three
hundred men at his service for that purpose.” - Fei Lien, 2346 BC
“Tracking the Dragon across the Ancient Near East” Dr. Robert D. Miller II
It was Watkins who clearly and magisterially synthesized the linguistic data illustrating the relationship between the Vedic myth of Indra defeating Vritra, the Avestan myth
from Iran of Thraetaona slaying Azi Dahaka, and the Hittite Illuyanka myth. Here he is talking about myths from individual poetic traditions from which he reconstructs the
Common Indo-European element: the storm god defeats the dragon-who-is-water and who stands for chaos, and this is celebrated in New Years‘ rituals
The god Indra‘s primary exploit is the slaying of the serpent Vritra - sometimes merely called “the serpent” - which releases pent-up waters (or stolen cows) - Vritra is called the
“swelling serpent”
In other hymns, what is released are “seven streams” (Rig Veda 4.28.1; 2.12.3)
Indra came to the battle after all the other gods had fled in fear
The weapon with which he defeats Vritra is the iconic vajra, or thunderbolt, which becomes Indra‘s totem. The weapon was specially made for Indra for the combat and it is used to split Vritra‘s head. The victory over Vritra is mostly treated as a past event but
the tenses fluctuate between past and present (e.g., Rig Veda 1.32.12-13), so that the impression is given that Vritra might not quite be dead forever (Rig Veda 1.32.14). In any
case, Vritra is for now consigned to “the deep”
Indra himself is the giver of agriculture a storm god and identified as a “bull”
Indra was sometimes portrayed as a bull. Indra is also symbolic of kingship
It is possible, however, that this myth is not originally about Indra at all. Indra performed his deeds “like Trita” (Rig Veda 1.52.5), Trita Āptya that is, who in Rig Veda 1.187
dismembers Vritra. In RV 10.8.8, Trita kills three-headed Visvarupa with “ancestral weapons”
In Iran, Trita Āptya reappears as Thrita, the haoma-presser (like Indra) whose son kills a dragon, but also as Thraetaona son of Āthwya, who slays the three-headed dragon or “snake of evil religion”. In Pahlavi literature, the dragon is chained to Mount Demavend until the end of the world
Faridun, as Olga Davidson has shown, is Thraetaona. Faridun rides a bull, and his weapon against Zahhak is a bull-headed mace, forged by the smith Kāva and he is
depicted with this mace subduing Zahhak on a Sassanian amulet in the British Museum
The Hittite version of the Indo-European dragon myth is probably also a direct inheritance from Proto-Indo-European times, and not a borrowing from a later period. In fact, it may provide better approximation of the Proto-Indo-European mytheme than
the Rig-Veda

[1] My father gave me the heavens and he gave me the earth. I am Inana! Which god compares with me? …. Enlil
gave me the heavens and he gave me the earth. I am Inana! He gave me lordship, and he gave me queenship. He
gave me battles and he gave me fighting. He gave me the stormwind and he gave me the dust cloud. He placed the
heavens on my head as a crown. He put the earth at my feet as sandals.. He put the holy sceptre in my hand.
The gods are small birds, but I am the falcon

The heavens are mine and the earth is mine: I am heroic!...., in Agade the Ulmac is mine.

2,500 years ? The time frame is very
specific – 2350 -2050 BC (the Code of
Urukagina and the code of Ur-nammu,,
and the founding of the City of
Agade/Akkad by Sargon the Great).
One cannot simply play around and leave
a gaping 200 year hole of missing time like
this. The Great Pyramid at Giza was
allegedly constructed around 2,500 BC.
What we have so far are 5 names – Ur-
nammu, Ningal (mother of Inana), Inana,
Gilgamesh and Sargon the Great and his
founded city, Agade – all cited within the
same time period. Inana is a Moon
goddess as her Father was Suen,
representing the Moon and the major deity
of the city or Ur. But, Gilgamesh holds the
Lion, symbolically….does it represent an
older age of wisdom, or could it mean
control over something
The heavens are mine and the earth is mine: I am heroic!....,
in Agade the Ulmac is mine.
Which god compares with me?
Just as a curious side note…
The Bayeux Tapestry Scene 1 - 1064 AD Harold and King William with Hawk/ Falcon and Hunting Dogs (with constellations above?)
In some post-plague art, a woman can be seen holding a falcon as she speaks with other ladies, not looking at the death in front of her eyes. The falcon represented ‘high society’ or upper classes (See later slides on plague art and arrows as
symbols of plague/pestilences)
As Harold is taken captive, the falcon is seen to be transferred to King William. Legend has it that Harold swore an oath to William at this time
Halley’s comet is the alleged guest star from the Battle of Hastings, 1066 AD (11 years after 1054 AD ‘chinese guest
star’)
It’s also interesting to note that even though we hear no accounts of plague at
this time, the arrow motif is present with a guest star appearance, a falcon
symbol, warfare, ‘heroic’ (kingly, royal, regal) battles with spears, swords,
lances, death and an arrow in the eye 11 years after 1054 AD
The Epic of Gilgamesh was originally called “Surpassing all other kings" (Sumerian) and “He who saw the deep” (Akkadian)
The earliest Sumerian versions of the epic date from as early as the Third Dynasty of Ur (2150-
2000 BCE) (Dalley 1989: 41-42). The earliest Akkadian versions are dated to the early second
millennium (Dalley 1989: 45).
[1] The Nineveh Constant and the Art of Time Travel
(from http://www.dprins.demon.nl/convergence/9905.html)
The "standard" Akkadian version, consisting of twelve tablets, was edited by Sin-liqe-unninni
sometime between 1300 and 1000 BC and was found in the library of Ashurbanipal [1]
who
was in power from 669-625 BC in Nineveh.

Nineveh is also the setting in the apocryphal Book of Tobit, and is
where the Nineveh constant was discovered.

The Big Dipper Constellation – The Plough – Fertility & Agriculture/Crops
[1] Angered by Gilgamesh's refusal, Inana goes up to heaven and complains to the high god ANU. She demands that ANU give her the Bull
of Heaven. If he refuses, she warns, she will do exactly what she told the gatekeeper of the underworld she would do if he didn't let her
in:
ANU gives Inana the Bull of Heaven, and Ishtar/Inana sends it to attack Gilgamesh and his
friend EN-KI-D-U. Gilgamesh and EN-KI-D-U kill the Bull and offer its heart to the sun-god
Shamash.
[1] The Epic of Gilgamesh. Trans.N.K.Sandars.Harmondsworth: Penguin, 1985.
“If you refuse to give me the Bull of Heaven [then] I will break in the doors of hell and
smash the bolts; there will be confusion [i.e., mixing] of people, those above with those
from the lower depths. I shall bring up the dead to eat food like the living; and the hosts of
the dead will outnumber the living."

Speaking of the ancient Assyrians (of Iraq) and the chemicals they produced by 650 B.C., in a
paper read before the Society for the Study of Alchemy and Early Chemistry, Doctor Reginald
Campbell Thompson, the author of A Dictionary of Assyrian Chemistry and Geology, informs
us that
“The sources from which our knowledge of Assyrian Chemistry is obtained are a very small
part of the collections of cuneiform tablets in our museums, which may perhaps be reckoned
at a quarter of a million roughly in number, and of this chemistry, almost all our knowledge
comes from tablets of the Seventh Century B.C.
But that the ancient Sumerians had a very practical knowledge of chemical methods even
before the invention of writing, let us say, very early in the Fourth Millennium B.C., is to be
inferred from the beautiful gold work found by Sir Leonard Wooley at Ur, and the copper and
bronze castings found throughout Southern Mesopotamia. The written word, however, of their
methods has survived only sparsely by comparison, this being due to three causes: first, the
illiteracy of the craftsmen; secondly, the habit of all Guilds to conceal their methods by the use
of cryptic expressions; and thirdly, the close guarding of secrets, which were frequently
handed down from father to son by word of mouth.

Rene norboorger – Secrets of the lost races, page 1
We know from the record that Cain lived in the land called Nod, meaning "place of
exile." Genesis mentions that the land where he settled did not "yield her
strength." There is no further information concerning the early years except that in
approximately 4784 B.C. a son, Enoch, was born. Sometime between this date and
Cain's death in 4059 B.C., Cain gathered his descendants together and built a city
called Enoch City, named after his first son. Several observations can be made
regarding the construction of this first city, which would require the development
of a high order of mathematics; the manipulation of building materials, seemingly
stones and wood; and a knowledge of architecture. A city also presupposes the
beginning of some form of social and political organization, not only for the
construction phase, but also for its subsequent maintenance and expansion. Upon
assembling his descendants into one dwelling place, Cain set himself up as the
first ruler over men, and by naming the city after his eldest son, he moved to
establish a dynasty of rulers that would perpetuate his name.
1The art of the Naqada culture shows a fair amount of war and violence; however, the beheaded prisoners on the Narmer Palette were unparalleled until
those on the ivory plaque were identified. Interestingly, both come from Hierakonpolis, where actual evidence for the practice of decapitation,
although rare, is also known

1The Falcon Has Landed: Falcons in “The City of the Falcon”
1 “From their contexts within the elite cemetery, the HK6 falcons can be dated to
the early Naqada II period and are therefore considerably earlier than any other known
depiction of this bird of prey”.
1 http://www.hierakonoplis-online.org, PDF, volume 19, 2/10/07, Page 9
Of course, it cannot yet be proven that the very early kings of Hierakonpolis
identified themselves with the falcon, but the strong traditions concerning early kingship that surround the site, and
its close connection with the falcon god Horus in Dynastic times, not to mention its Greek name Hierakonpolis - “city ofthe falcon”, are all certainly suggestive”

The question is after what (afterwards) – is this a reference to the ‘biblical’ flood that hasn’t happened yet as Genesis 7 (akin to the story of Atrahasis) informs the reader of the impending flood coming upon mankind via the ark builder Noah, and what time frame is this taking place within if the Noah table is a later reinterpretation of a far earlier event or Sumerian Epic
Chronologically, the next book in the pentateuch is the Book of Exodus which plants the events to a period around 1600 BC and the rule of ‘Moses’ (Ahmose I in the second intermediate period of dynastic Egypt)
which describes catastrophic events such as fiery hail, bubonic plague, and evil winds. The Tempest Stella of Ahmose is just one document describing major flooding and destruction. The dating could go
back as far as 1794 BC as another event is occurring that has parallels with The Tempest Stella of Ahmose. Also, if this is the Exodus where Ramses II is Pharoah (dated 1290-1224 BC) the time frame is off by 300+ years, and Ramses is in the Cairo Museum with red hair so he, as the chasing pharoah obviously was not
drowned, caught in and/or swept away in the red sea tidal wave
The dating is far too late as Abram had apparently recently left Ur in Chaldea in Genesis 12 (The Middle Bronze age 2000 – 1600 BC) with his father Terah who was 130 when Abram was born and
the Tower of Babel had already been destroyed (Genesis 11) and Sodom and Gomorrah still stand until the time of Lot – Post Egypt sojourn (Genesis 19)

“in chapter 14 of Genesis, of an ancient war that pitted an alliance of four kingdoms of the East against five kings in Canaan. It is a tale that has evolved some of the most intense debate among scholars, for it connects the story of Abraham, the first Hebrew Patriarch, with a specific non-Hebrew event, and thus affords objective substantiation of the biblical
record of the birth of a nation.
http://amaickingdavid.blog.com/2015/01/29/%e2%80%9camraphel-king-of-shinar%e2%80%9d-was-not-king-hammurabi/
“The discovery was announced in a lecture by Theophilus Pinches to the Victoria Institute, London, in 1897. Having examined several tablets
belonging to the Spartoli Collection in the British Museum, he found that they describe a war of wide-ranging magnitude, in which a king of
Elam, Kudur-laghamar, led an alliance of rulers that included one named Eri-aku and another named Tud-ghula – names that easily could
have been transformed into Hebrew as Khedor-la’omer, Ariokh, and Tidhal.
“With justified excitement the Assyriologists of that time agreed with Pinches reading of the cuneiform names. The tablets indeed spoke of “Kudur-Laghamar,
king of the land of Elam”; all scholars agreed that it was a perfect Elamite royal name, the prefix Kudur (“Servant”) having been a component in the names of
several Elamite kings, and Laghamar being the Elamite epithet-name for a certain deity.
It was agreed that the second name, spelled Eri-e-a-ku in the Babylonian cuneiform script, stood for the original Sumerian ERI.AKU, meaning “Servant
of the god Aku,” Aku being a variant of the name of Nannar/Sin.
It is known from a number of inscriptions that Elamite rulers of Larsa bore the name “Servant of Sin,” and there was therefore little difficulty in agreeing that
the biblical Eliasar, the royal city of the king Ariokh, was in fact Larsa.
There was also unanimous agreement among the scholars for accepting that the Babylonian text’s Tud-ghula was the equivalent of the biblical “Tidhal, king of
Go’im”; and they agreed that by Go’im the Book of Genesis referred to the “nation-hordes” whom the cuneiform tablets listed as allies of Khedorla’omer.
.The second discovery was announced by Vincent Scheil, who reported that he had found among the tablets in the Imperial Ottoman Museum in Constantinople a letter from the
well-known Babylonian King Hammurabi, which mentions the very same Kudur-laghamar! Because the letter was addressed to a king of Larsa, Father Scheil concluded
that the three were contemporaries and thus matched three of the four biblical kings of the East – Hammurabi being none other than “Amraphael king of Shin’ar
However, when subsequent research convinced most scholars that Hammurabi reigned much later (from 1792 to 1750 B.C., according to The Cambridge Ancient History), the synchronization seemingly achieved by Scheil fell apart, and the whole bearing of the
discovered inscriptions – even those reported by Pinches – came into doubt. Ignored were the pleas of Pinches that no matter with whom the three named kings were to be
identified – that even if Khedorla’omer, Ariokh, and Tidhal of the cuneiform texts were not contemporaries of Hammurabi – the text’s tale with its three names was still “a
remarkable historical coincidence, and deserves recognition as such.”
Scheil’s find was discredited, for it contradicted both the biblical assertion that the three kings were allies and known historical facts: Hammurabi treated Larsa not as an ally but
as an adversary, boasting that he “overthrew Larsa in battle,” and attacked its sacred precinct “with the mighty weapon which the gods had given him.”
A close examination of the actual text of Hammurabi’s letter reveals that in his eagerness to prove the Hammurabi-Amraphel identification, Father Scheil reversed the letter’s meaning: Hammurabi was not offering as a reward to return certain goddesses to the sacred precinct (the Emutbal) of Larsa; rather, he was demanding their return to
Babylon from Larsa.
.The incident of the abduction of the goddesses had thus occurred in earlier times; they were held captive in the Emutbal “from the days of Khedorla’omer”;
and Hammurabi was now demanding their return to Babylon, from where Khedorla’omer had taken them captive. This can only mean that
Khedorla’omer’s days were long before Hammurabi’s time.
“Supporting our reading of the Hammurabi letter found by Father Scheil in the Constantinople Museum is the fact that Hammurabi repeated the demand for
the return of the goddesses to Babylon in yet another stiff message to Sin-Idinna, this time sending it by the hand of high military officers. This second letter is in the
British Museum (No. 23,131) and its text was published by L.W. King in The Letters and Inscriptions of Hammurabi.
“….That the goddesses were to be returned from Larsa to Babylon is made clear in the letter’s further instructions.”
It is thus clear from these letters that Hammurabi – a foe, not an ally, of Larsa – was seeking restitution for events that had happened long before his time, in
the days of Kudur-Laghamar, the Elamite regent of Larsa. The texts of the Hammurabi letters thus affirm the existence of Khedorla-omer and of Elamite
reign in Larsa (“Ellasar”) and thus of key elements in the biblical tale.

Abram/Abraham - Ur, Chaldea
If all flesh was corrupted as per Genesis 6:7, why is Noah keeping ‘unclean’ animals with his clean animals to ‘keep the species alive’. Was not
Yahweh destroying al things ‘unclean’?
The dating is the problem here. Genesis 14 states Amraphel (“King Hammurabi”) was one of 9 kings of 9 kingdoms are in battle, including the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah. If this is post flood, 2349 BC and the earth is completely submerged with water and all life seemingly with it; How did 9 kingdoms arise in such a short amount of time and why does history not account for their rises from smaller
villages and townships; to cities; to large metropolis or trading centres and then the final transformation into Kingdoms, and later, Empires. Would or could this take place within 300 years based on historical data? A good example of this is post-Black Death in England and how society,
economics, religious and cultural affairs endured and emerged from under its sackcloth
1 A Chronology for the Cities of the Plain, Vol II, Number 8 - Steven Collins
Biblically, the timeframe for the existence of the Cities of the Plain ranges from the early patriarchal period of Genesis 10 to the time of Abram and Lot in Genesis 13-19. Taken at face value, the biblical chronology would thus require the Cities of the
Plain to exist during the Middle Bronze Age.
Southern Dead Sea sites such as Bab edh-Dhra and Numeira belonged to the Early Bronze Age, and were destroyed hundreds of years before the time of Abram. This is
problematic for the identification of these two southern sites as Sodom and Gomorrah.

Actually, arriving at a reasonably good chronology is rather straightforward if you walk carefully through the indicators embedded in the biblical text. In order to place the story of
Sodom and Gomorrah in its proper timeframe, we must first establish an authentic biblical chronology by following key indicators.

1 Kings 6:1 (Septuagint [LXX]): “In the four hundred and fortieth year after the Israelites had come out of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel....”
Taken at face value, this statement places the Exodus in the mid to late fifteenth century, either 1446 or 1406 BCE
These passages involving the length of the Israelite sojourn in Egypt are critical to the correct chronological placement of Abraham and the destruction of the Cities (Sodom and Gomorrah) of the Plain:
Exodus 12:40 (MT): “Now the length of time the Israelite people lived in Egypt was 430 years.”
Exodus 12:40 (LXX and Samaritan Pentateuch [SP]): “Now the length of time theIsraelite people lived in Egypt and Canaan was 430 years.”
Genesis 15:13: “Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a country nottheir own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated four hundred years.”
1Depending on the interpretation given to the 400 (430) years, the events of Gen 15 happened either during Middle Bronze Age I (2200-1950 BC) or during Middle Bronze
Age II A (1950-1800 BC) - or more specifically, about 2095 B.C. or. 1880 B.C, respectively.
Therefore, Abraham came to Canaan either during the Ur III Dynasty (ca. 2112-2004 B.C.) or during the First Dynasty of Babylon (ca. 1894-1595 BC).

A: Samuel the Prophet is the end point (Acts 13:20) of the 430 year period ( +40 years in the wilderness and the appointment of Saul, son of Kish of the tribe of Benjamin)
2The Apostle Paul’s statement in Galatians 3:17 is the definitive NT passage on the issue. And Ray agrees that Paul follows the LXX rendering of Exodus 12:40! The NT is not divided
on the issue at all - it clearly specifies a short (215-year) Israelite sojourn in Egypt.

THE CORRECT CHRONOLOGICAL PLACEMENT FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH
With reference to the destruction of the Cities of the Plain, two ideas must be abandoned on the basis of a 215-year Israelite sojourn in Egypt: (a) the placement of Abraham in either the Early Bronze Age (1950-1800 BC) or Intermediate Bronze Age; and (b) the
identification of Bab edh-Dhra and Numeira as Sodom and Gomorrah.
Abraham Did Not Live in the Intermediate Bronze Age (2350-1950 BCE; formerly Early Bronze IV and Middle Bronze I)
If the Exodus occurred about 1446 BCE (based on the Masoretic Text of 1 Kings 6:1) or 1406 BCE (based on the LXX rendering of 1 Kings 6:1), then the earliest possible date for
the entrance of Abraham into Canaan 430 years earlier would be the first half of the nineteenth century BCE, which, by any stretch of the imagination, was well into Middle
Bronze Age II A.
Thus, the idea so popular among evangelical scholars, that Abraham lived in the Intermediate Bronze Age or earlier, should be abandoned. Abraham was a resident of
Canaan at the earliest during the prosperous Middle Bronze Age IIA-B (now Middle Bronze I and II in many chronologies; 2000-1600 BCE)—and perhaps as late in the MB as
the Hyksos Period
1793 BC doesn’t correspond to a classical ‘Sitchin’ 3600 year cycle, per se. Although Santorini is a contender for a placement within a greater 3600 year cycle, the time difference between Thera, Santorini,
Ahmose/ Moses and the years between 1628-1612 BC is 160+ years later . There is, however, another flood event described in The inundation stela of Sobekhotep VIII in the time period of the 16th dynasty
circa 1645–1629 BC.
In older studies by Egyptologists Jürgen von Beckerath and Labib Habachi, Sobekhotep VIII was considered to be a king of the 13th Dynasty which would take the dating back to the beginning of the
13th dynasty of the middle kingdom circa 1795/4. According to Egyptologist John Baines, who studied the stela in detail, by coming to the temple as it was flooded, the king re-enacted the Egyptian story of the
creation of the world in imitating the actions of the creator god Amun-Ra, to which the stela iconography closely associates the king, ordering the waters to recede from around the primordial
mound
1762 BC doesn’t flag anything immediate. Taking into account most Kingly reigns from chronological king lists in antiquity can be 20 years +/- difference, and in some cases, be as much as 70 years difference. This could very well be within the dating time frame for other events around this time period from 1762-1794 BC. It would not be unreasonable to
consider this could be an after affect or other connected event with a cometary encounter in 1621 BC and Thera, Santorini, of which the date has now been accepted and validated.
“If the Exodus occurred about 1446 BCE (based on the Masoretic Text of 1 Kings 6:1) or 1406 BCE (based on the LXX rendering of 1 Kings 6:1), then the earliest possible date for
the entrance of Abraham into Canaan 430 years earlier would be the first half of the nineteenth century BCE, which, by any stretch of the imagination, was well into Middle
Bronze Age II A.”
This time frame would indicate the end of Middle Kingdom (Second Intermediate period 1650-1550 BC) and into the New Kingdom (1550-1069 BC) of the 18th dynasty in Egypt starting with Kamose, Ahmose I and then the Thuthmosis and Amenhotep dynasties
including Hatshepsut.
Amenhotep II was ruling at the time of the Exodus according to the date 1518 BCE.
The astonishing similarity between these three date ranges and the only three BC era, bristlecone pine frosting dates noted by LaMarche and
Hirschboeck (1984) at 43 BC, 1627 BC and 2036 BC, suggests that both agencies are recording the same events.
The Ahmose ‘Tempest Stela’, Thera and Comparative ChronologyAuthor(s): Robert K. Ritner and Nadine Moeller, The Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago Source: Journal of Near Eastern Studies, Vol. 73, No. 1 (April 2014), pp. 1-19
Previously published for an Egyptological audience by Claude Vandersleyen, the fragmentary stela recounts the devastations and reconstructions resulting from an
extraordinary cataclysm in early Eighteenth Dynasty Egypt. While storms can be noted in Egyptian literature, Ahmose’s Tempest Stela is without parallel in extending the
destructive effects to the entirety of the country. The remarkable nature of the event, described in unprecedented detail, is stressed by the text itself, which attributes the
disaster to divine displeasure, while yet declaring that it was greater than divine wrath and exceeded the gods’ plans
[Long live (?) the Horus “Great of Manifestations,” He of the] Two Ladies “Pleasingof Birth,” the golden Horus “Who binds the Two Lands,” King of Upper and Lower
Egypt, Neb-pehty-Ra, son of Ra, Ahmose, living forever
The initial line thus states the king’s full string of titles with at most an initial, clichéd insertion [of an Ankh] “Long live!”
In contrast, the text is specific about his reason for travel to Thebes, where he officiated at the installation of a new, portable cult image of Amon with accompanying offerings
It was His Majesty who went south (“upstream”) in order to [give to him bread, beer and everything good and] pure. Now after the offering ..Then attention was given in [. . ] this
[dis]trict. Now then, the cult image [of this god . . .as his body was installed in (lit. “united with”) this temple while his limbs were in joy.
No emendation is necessary; the king was in Sedjefa-tawy while the mobile statue of Amon was in Karnak. The passage stresses the propriety of the royal actions, with him journeying personally to Karnak, performing appropriate offerings and attending to local details so that the god was successfully installed and pleased. This proper action sets the stage for the
unexpected events in the following section
Now then,] this great god desired [. . .] His Majesty [. . .] while the gods complained of their discontent.[Then] the gods [caused] that the sky come in
a tempest of r[ain], with [dark]ness in the condition of the West (the underworld) the sky being in storm without [cessation, louder than] the
cries [lit., “voices”] of the masses, more powerful [than . . .], [while the rain howled] on the mountains louder than the sound of the underground source
of the Nile that is in Elephantine.
Footnote: “why were the tempest and darkness perceived in the west, when Thera lies mostly to the north and the direction of winds carried the tephra strongly to the east?” The later mention of crowds “on the East and West” of the river experiencing the storm’s effects does not indicate the direction of the wind and rain and thus cannot be used to exclude a northern origin. The issues of wind direction and tephra concern only the initial eruption, not the aftereffects, and may be irrelevant
The destructive effects of that storm are detailed in the following section, which contains the first of three passages that explicitly extend the devastation to the entire country and that
first attracted my attention
Then every house, every quarter that they (scil. the storm and rain) reached [. . . Their corpses(?)] floating on the water like skiffs of papyrus outside the palace audience chamber for
a period of [. . .] days [. . .] while no torch could be lit in the Two Lands.
Unlike typical rainstorms, this event lasted for an extended period. Although the number of days is now lost, the size of the lacuna as measured by Allen would best fit 4–5, 7–9, or even
as many as 14–19 or 24–29 days.
Construction debris, household furnishings and - if Helck’s restoration is correct - human victims are washed by the driving rains into the river.
Interesting footnotes: Schneider, “Theophany of Seth-Baal,” 405–406, treats tk as “Ꜣ the luminary” (= Ra), assuming a contrast with the presumed royal installation at the beginning of the text. While hymns can equate Amon with a torch (as noted by Schneider), he is mentioned by name in such figurative passages; a more literal interpretation is probable here.
By use of the pregnant phrase for “Two Lands,” the text explicitly extends the range of the storm to the entire country, North as well as South. As the term is never used to
indicate only a portion of Egypt, there can be no question of a limited, Theban storm,.. The broad expanse is reiterated twice more in the text to leave no doubt of
the author’s quite literal intentions.
Then His Majesty said: ‘How much greater this is than the wrath of the great god, [than] the plans of the gods!’ His Majesty then descended to his boat, with his council following him, while the crowds [on] the East and West had hidden faces, having no clothing on them after the manifestation of the wrath of the god. His Majesty then
reached the interior of Thebes, with gold confronting gold of this cult image, so that he received what he desired.
The Ahmose text’s further statement that those on the east and west lackedḥbs.w (“clothing”) after the manifestation of the god’s (Min –Amon) wrath (“display of terror-
inducing might”) proves that this is a reference to the specific rain event, not a general metaphor for long term Hyksos domination. In short, there is no emphasis in the text on
enhanced security.
Footnote: The use of the word “to conceal” is common with body parts, and an idiom “concealing the face” to indicate embarrassment can be compared with another expression of similar construction: “to veil the face,” i.e., to be indulgent. For “to conceal/mask” in the literal sense, “to conceal/mask the secret places” (of temples).
What is evident, however, is that the storm has impacted the populace on either side of the king’s southerly procession on the Nile. The text’s mention here of “East” and “West” refers
only to the crowds along the river, not the direction of the tempest, which may have originated in the North. The text concludes with an extensive section detailing the king’s actions
to remedy the destruction
Then His Majesty began to re-establish the Two Lands, to give guidance (or “a conduit”) for the flooded territories. He did not f[ail] in providing them with silver, with gold, with copper, with oil
and cloth comprising every bolt that could be desired. His Majesty then made himself comfortable (= seated himself) within the palace (life! prosperity! health!). Then His Majesty was informed that the mortuary concessions had been entered: the tomb chambers collapsed, the funerary mansions undermined, and the pyramids fallen - what had been made rendered
non-existent (lit., “what had not been made”).
Then His Majesty commanded to restore the temples that had fallen into ruin in this entire land: to refurbish the monuments of the gods, to erect their enclosure walls, to provide the
sacred objects in the noble chamber, to mask the secret places, to introduce into their shrines the cult images which were cast to the ground, to set up the braziers, to erect the
altars, to establish their bread offerings, to double the income of the personnel, to put the land into its former state. Then it was done in accordance with all that His Majesty had
commanded.
While the literal meaning of smn is “to make firm/ establish,” the context of restoration indicates a “reestablishment” of previous conditions, again explicitly extended to “the Two
Lands.” putting both halves of the country in order and that broad meaning is certainly indicated here, not an unattested, restricted reference to organizing “the two banks” of the
Nile near Thebes
Precisely this issue of the extent of “Egypt” is at the heart of the first Kamose stela. The Theban king remonstrates with his courtiers:
“For what end am I cognizant of it, this power of mine, with a chieftain in Avaris and another in Cush, while I sit joined with an Asiatic and a Nubian, each man having his slice in this portion of Egypt? The one who divides the land with me, there is none who
can pass by him as far as Memphis, the water of Egypt . . . My desire is to rescue Egypt”
Ryholt’s metaphorical storm is the Hyksos invasion:
“All the circumstances for which the storm is blamed are actually events for which the Hyksos can be seen as responsible.” Obviously, this ill accords with the specific
mention of rain and thunder, and it fails to account for the critical fact that the Hyksos are unmentioned, as is any reference to warfare, so that Ryholt must characterize the
text by stating “there is reason to believe that it is deliberately kept ambiguous.”
“Why is the Stela interpreted as implying an unmentioned earthquake, given the presence of terms indicative of human
destruction and neglect?” (Wiener and Allen: 27).
The ready reply is that Egyptian meteorological terminology is all based on human actions.
Rain “smites/hits” (ḥw͗ı); thunder is a “voice” (ḫrw); and storms “rage” (nšn͗ı).97
Waters can “enter” (ʿq),98 “go/send forth” (bs), “swallow” (ʿ m), “Ꜣ encircle” (dbn), “submerge” (smḥ), “carry off/seize” (t ı), “overthrow/collapse” (whn—as in the Tempest Stela), and Ꜣ͗ make
temples “fallen into ruin” (w r w s/d m—also in the Tempest Stela) Ꜣ Ꜣ Ꜣ
The “human” destruction need not be human at all. As the destruction is never said to be of human origin, so the Hyksos are certainly irrelevant to the events of the stela.
Footnote: Tobin, “Prophecies of Neferty,” 216–17. The text then continues with mention of “foreign birds” settling in Egypt, employing a well-known symbol of enemies (birds) explicitly designated as “foreign.” Such a designation does not accompany the storm of the Tempest Stela.
Other examples include the Inundation Stela of Sobekhotep VIII, the Dibabieh Quarry Stela of Smendes (1069- 1043 BC) the Karnak Flood Text of Osorkon III (777-749 BC) and the multiple stelae recording the “Extraordinary High Nile” in the reign of Taharqa (690-664
BC)
All record unusual water events, and all are historical, not metaphorical. Two (the Osorkon and Taharqa examples) have associated flood level marks that corroborate the
descriptive texts. Even within this group, however, the Tempest Stela stands apart.
1Dendrochemical analysis of a tree-ring growth anomaly associated with theLate Bronze Age eruption of Thera
1 Journal of Archaeological Science 36 (2009) 1206–1214
The most marked tree-ring growth anomaly in the Aegean dendrochronological record over the last 9000 years occurs in the mid 17th century BC, and has been speculatively correlated with the impact of the Late Bronze Age eruption of Thera (Santorini). If such a connection could be proved it would be of major interdisciplinary significance. It would open
up the possibility of a precise date for a key archaeological, geological and environmental marker horizon, and offer a direct tie between tree-ring and ice-core
records some 3600 years ago
Radiocarbon evidence puts the eruption between 1660 and 1600 BC (Manning et al., 2006; Friedrich et al., 2006).
..The presence of a replicable elemental change in all four trees, including significant increases in S (sulphur)
and Hf (Hafnium) at the onset of the growth-ring anomaly, provides convincing evidence that a volcanic
eruption was the primary cause. Given the approximate growth location of the trees and the
current date of the anomaly, the most logical source would be the Minoan eruption of Thera. These data
can be cited as new proxy evidence to add to that of other paleo-environmental archives which place the
date for the Minoan eruption in the mid-late 17th century BC
Gill Broussard slide >>>
In Collaboration with Gill Broussard, this date can be resolved to an earlier time frame of circa 1627-1600 BC if we agree that Moses is actually Amose I of the 18th Dynasty and the Tempest Stella of Ahmose is the document which
details a pass-by of a planetary or cometary bolide which may have caused the massive flooding event described in that text and earlier texts
1793 BC doesn’t correspond to a classical 3600 year cycle, per se. Although Santorini is a contender for a placement within a greater 3600 year cycle, the
time difference between Thera, Santorini, Ahmose/ Moses and the years between 1628-1612 BC is 160+ years later

Using the long, 430-year Israelite sojourn in Egypt, the earliest possible date for the birth of Abraham is about 2166 BCE, placing him in Canaan about a century later.

“The chronological date for the destruction of Bab edh-Dhra and Numeira, however, is considerably earlier
than [2070 BCE]. Rast gives the date for the end of the Early Bronze III period and the destruction of the cities as 2350 BCE....Schaub places the date slightly later at
2300 BCE....This leaves a discrepancy of 230-280 years. Does this mean that we cannot correlate the
archaeological findings at Bab edh-Dhra and Numeira with the events described in the Bible?” -
B.G. Wood
It is entirely within the realm of possibility, therefore, that the destruction of Bab edh-Dhra and Numeira could
have occurred at the Biblical date of ca. 2070 BCE
Wood is forced to posit a long (430-year) Israelite sojourn in Egypt in order to push the dates of
Abraham back as far as possible. However, that is woefully artificial, as I have already demonstrated. Based on an actual 430-year time span from the giving of the promise to Abraham (Genesis 12ff)
until the coming of the Law under Moses (mid to late fifteenth century BCE), the earliest possible date for
Abraham’s entrance intoCanaan is ca. 1876 BCE.
Abraham’s entrance into Canaan would have taken place 1836 BCE, placing the approximate time of Sodom and Gomorrah’s destruction just before the birth of Isaac, 1811 BCE. The minimum discrepancy, therefore, between the
destruction of the EB III occupations at Bab edh-Dhra and Numeira (ca. 2350 BCE) and the biblical date for the destruction of the Cities of the Plain
(slightly before 1811 BCE) is on the order of 500+ years. And I see absolutely no means of merging those two widely disparate dates.
In summary, computing a biblical chronology based on a 430-year Israelite sojourn in Egypt is erroneous. Virtually every line of reasoning and
evidence points to the factuality of a short, 215-year sojourn. The reality of the 215-year sojourn, in turn, categorically eliminates the possibility of (a)
placing Abraham in or before the Intermediate Bronze Age, and (b) Bab edh-Dhra and Numeira as Sodom and Gomorrah. There is no doubt that, if taken literally (which many do not), the 175-year span (Genesis 25:7) of Abraham’s
life (ca. 1911-1736 BCE) would cover much of Middle Bronze Age I and a portion of Middle Bronze Age II (1950-1750 BCE and 1750-1600 BCE,
respectively)

The Book of Numbers – 4th book of the PentateuchNumbering of the tribes for taxation and the Levites (and the Giants clan leaders) are in control of
the Temple duties upto chapter 5
Numbers 13:20 Now the time was the season of the grapes (see Joshua 1-3)
Numbers 13:22 To Hebron, Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai, the descendants of Anak were there
Numbers 13:28-29 Nevertheless, the people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large, moreover, we saw the descendants of Anak there. The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south; the hittites, the jebusites and the amorites dwell in the mountains and the canaanites dwelt by the sea and along the banks of the Jordan
Numbers 13:32 The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. There we saw giants (nephilim) the descendants of Anak came from the giants and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight and so we were in their sight
*Special note of interest: Bear in mind this land is full of large grapes, i.e., FRUIT and yet, the orator is clearly describing cannibalism as ‘a land that devours its inhabitants’**Special Note of interest: Numbers 18:26 concerns the ‘possession is 9/10ths of the law’ dictum we know today – ‘’When you take from the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them as your inheritance then you will offer up a heave offering of it to the LORD a 10th of the tithe”
Numbers 25:1-2 Now Israel remained in Acacia grove and the people began to commit harlotry with the women of Moab. They invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods and people ate and bowed down to their gods. So Israel was joined to Baal Peor
The Mawangdui silk 1500 BC
The book of Deuteronomy, the 5th book of the Old Testament (the Pentateuch) is the transitional period of Moses leading the ‘Israelites’ out from Egypt and towards the lands of Giants (rephaim) in Moab and Ammon – namely Og of Bashan and Sihon of Heshbon and Joshua, son of Nun conquering them all.
“All the region or Argob, with all Bashan, was called the land of the rephaim (Giants)”. Joshua is eventually ‘inaugurated’ (Deut. 34:9) to take over from Moses after 38 years encircling the
Mountain of Seir, while ‘The LORD’ (Yahweh/Elohim) insists the peoples drive on and take the land as promised (via covenants) to the 3 older patriarchs, Abraham, Jacob (Israel) and Isaac and if they don’t, they’ll suffer from not taking action. Moses doesn’t enter the ‘promised land’ as he is forbidden to by ‘The LORD’, due to the corrupted nature of the still mind-controlled conditioning of the Baal worshippers within the peoples that failed to grasp the concepts of the first Decalogue, the 10 commandments. Moses
dies on Mount Nebo (Deut. 32:49) and lives to the curious age-limitation of exactly 120 years noted specifically in Genesis 6:3-6 before the Flood of 4220 B.C.
The 10 commandments have their issues regarding hypocrisy of morality
Commandment 6 - You shall not murder
Commandment 8 - You shall not steal
The “LORD’s” biggest consternation is the very first 2 Commandments; 1 – “You shall have no other gods before me”, and 2 – “You shall not make for yourself a carved image – any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth – you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting
the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me, and keep My Commandments”
Problem 1: Why is Commandment 6 and 8 not in the place of Commandment 1 and 2 ?
Problem 2: Jealousy (Deuteronomy 6:15) is a trait that doesn’t quite relate to an all-omniscient deity, and jealousy can be related to the continual observance of others greed, and wealth; thus leading to an augmentation of desires, (wickedness) which in turn can manifest into a hunger for the same status, by ill-will and ill-intent. Or, it may also lead to actions to take; and to steal those (forcefully or not), maybe even kill and murder for the very items which are desired by, and fomented from jealousy - ultimately, the satiation of jealousy is a desire to possess, to have, to own. ‘Cursing unborn generations to the 4th generation’ though fatherly descent also becomes problematic due to the vengeful intent of the curse. There were lots of ‘’by-laws’’ too….such as….
Deuteronomy 24:16 – “Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor shall children be put to death for their fathers; a person shall be put to death for his own sin” (contrary to the 3rd and 4th generation curses within the 10 Commandments)
Deuteronomy 23:17 – “There shall be no ritual harlot (prostitution in religious rituals) of the daughters of Israel, or a perverted (sodomy) one of the sons of Israel”.
Deuteronomy 23:19 – “You shall not charge interest to your brother – interest on money or food or anything that is lent out at interest. To a foreigner you may charge interest, but to your brother you shall not charge interest”. (usury is debt, and debt conquers)
So, the “nation of Israel” will be the creditor of first choice and not to be a debtor – i.e. forever beneath - and always “above only” (debts and obligations is loss of control and thereby ‘beneath’ or
‘under’).
Other issues Moses, via the ‘LORD’, highlights NOT to do, (understandably so) are highlighted below:
Deuteronomy 27:21 – “Cursed is the one who lies with any kind of animal” (bestiality)
Deuteronomy 27:22 – “Cursed is the one who lies with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother” (incest)
Deuteronomy 27:23 – “Cursed is the one who lies with his mother-in-law” (covetous)
Deuteronomy 28:12 – “You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. And the LORD will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath”
DEUTORONOMY – TIME FRAME INDICATORSDeut 1:4 – “after he killed Sihon, king of the Amorites, who dwelt in
Heshbon, and Og, king of Bashan, who dwelt in Astaroth and Edrei”
Og of Bashan
Deut 2:32-34 - “then Sihon and all his people came out to fight us at Jahaz…we took all of his cities at that time and utterly destroyed the men, women, and little ones of every city; we left none remaining”.
Deut 3 - “then we turned and went up the road to Bashan; and Og, king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at
Edrei”.
Deut 1:27-28 – “He has brought us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites. Where can we go up? Our brethren
have discouraged our hearts, saying, ‘the people are greater and taller than we; the cities are great and fortified up to heaven; moreover,
we have seen the sons of the anakim there”
Deut 2:9-11 – “Then the LORD said to me, ‘Do not harass Moab, nor contend with them in battle, for I will not give you any of their land as a possession because I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot as a
possession”. (The Emim had dwelt there in times past; a people as great and numerous and as tall as the Anakim – they were also
regarded as giants (rephaim) like the Anakim, but the Moabites call them Emim)
Deut 1:20 (regarding Ammon) – “that was also regarded as a land of Giants (rephaim) that formerly dwelt there. But the Ammonites call them Zamzummim, a people as great and numerous and tall as the Anakim”
Deut 3:3-11 – “ So the LORD our God also delivered into our hands Og king of Bashan, with all his people, and we attacked him until he had no survivors remaining. And we took all his cities at that time. There was not a city which we did not take from them; 60 cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og of Bashan. All these cities were fortified with high walls, gates, and bars, besides a great many rural towns. And we utterly destroyed them, as we did to Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women and children of every city. And at that time we took the land from the hand of the two kings of the Amorites who were on this side of the Jordan, from the river Arnon to Mount Hermon”
Deut 3:11 – “For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of Giants (rephaim). Indeed his bedstead was an iron bedstead. Nine (9) cubits is its length and four (4) cubits its width,
according to the standard cubit”
1 standard cubit = 20.24 inches (some estimates suggest 21.888 inches [Egyptian Royal/Sacred Cubit], and some quote smaller lengths between 16-18 or more inches). The length equates to the
forearm of a man; from elbow to bottom of the wrist, or from Elbow to top of middle finger. So according to the numbers, Og of Bashan had an iron bedstead of just over 15ft long and 6ft 7
inches wide. Even if the cubit is the minimum 18 inches (a typical man’s forearm), the bed (and Og) would have measured 13ft 5 inches long/tall by 6ft wide
How tall was the Giant Og of Bashan?Arnon River
[Ah]moses rallies the troops to take the land of habituating Giants (rephaim);
Deuteronomy 9:1-2 – “Hear, O Israel: You are to cross over the Jordan today, and go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fortified up to heaven, a people great
and tall, the descendants of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you heard it said, ‘who can stand before the descendants of Anak?’
Lots of contradictions. There’s obviously a deeper reason why these particular Giants had to be “utterly destroyed” – a very harsh term which leaves no room for interpretation. Child sacrifice seems
to be occurring, and it is believed some cannibalism is present too. The idols (Molech, Baals, Astoreths and other canaanite deities) made from wood, as figurines, or plated with gold and silver
are of particular interest to be turned to dust and vanquished. Bear in mind, one of the 10 commandments stated that ALL images of life on earth – birds, fish, the sky, animals - at that time -
were forbidden to be recorded in statue or wooden form by the people. A big question is why. Stoning to death (yes, that would be Murder by those very Commandments) is the penalty for this particular
transgression of the return to, or a new interest in worshipping the deities of old.
Deuteronomy 12:31 – “You shall not worship the LORD your God in that way: for every abomination to the LORD which He hates they have done to their gods; for they burn even their sons and
daughters in the fire to their gods”
Deuteronomy 18:10-14 – “There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who
interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For all who do these things are an abomination to the LORD. For these
nations which you will dispossess listened to soothsayers and diviners; but as for you, the LORD your God has not appointed such for you”.
The peoples under the command of Moses are continually reminded of who came to their rescue from slavery, i.e. the LORD, when Moses ascended a ‘mountain’ to receive the 10 commandments; a ‘mountain’ that could very well be interpreted as a ‘mountain’ that is actually an active and erupting volcano?
Deuteronomy 5:25 – “For who is there of all flesh who has heard the voice of the living God speaking from the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?”
Another problem arises when Moses, blessing the different tribes from Mount Nebo, says the following to the tribe of Levi in Deuteronomy 33:9; “Let Your Thummim and Your Urim be with Your Holy
One”. That contravenes a lot of what Moses actually forbids (sorcery, spiritism, mediums, divination…witchcraft in Deuteronomy 18:10-14), primarily because the Thummim and the Urim are
known devices (breastplates) used for summoning the dead and necromantic summoning
In a general sense, the reader is later informed all of this wisdom imparted to 120 year old Moses (orders and commandments) are wasted on that generation, as they are prophesised to fall like the very peoples
they are about to conquer and dispossess – the Giants. A falling away, so to speak, or a return to bad habits. They will take up the idols of the old – Baal Worship.
Deuteronomy 31:16-18 – “And the LORD said to Moses, ‘Behold, you will rest with your fathers; and this people will rise and play the harlot with the gods of the foreigners of the land, where they go to
be among them, and they will forsake Me and break My covenant which I have made with them. Then My anger will be aroused against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured. And many evils and troubles shall befall them…in that they have
turned to other gods”
Deuteronomy 32:16 – “With abominations, they provoked Him to anger. They sacrificed to demons, not to God. To gods they did not know. To new gods, new arrivals that your fathers did not fear”
The book of Joshua picks up the story after [Ah]moses dies on the Abarim mountain Nebo, living 120 years (Gen. 6:3) in the plains of Moab (“let your Thummin and your Urim be with your holy one” -
Deut.33:8) after sacrificing a 7 year old heifer on the altars.
Rahab, the hostel owner takes in two spies (one of which was Caleb, son of Jephunneh, the Kenizzite (Joshua 14:6;14) that are on a reconnaissance mission in Jericho and she has heard of the two giants
“what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were on the other side of the Jordan, Sihon and Og, who you utterely destroyed” (Joshua 2:10). The primary orders are to destroy and burn
everything and plunder only livestock, gold and silver and bronze. No garments, clothing or idols
Jericho is the first city to fall, followed by Ai. ). 300 men go and 36 men are killed in the first attempt (Joshua 7:3-5) as they are chased away by the people of Ai which ‘are few’. All 12,000 people of Ai (Joshua 8:25) were killed “by the spear” (Joshua 8:23) by 30,000 of Joshua’s troops (Joshua 8:3)
Joshua also builds an altar for burnt offerings as Moses had done before (Joshua 8:30)
The
The 6th Book of Joshua (1466-1050 BC)
Joshua 8:8-19 30,000 troops sent to Ai (“mighty men of valor”) and burned it to the ground ‘like Jericho’
Joshua 8:30-31 30,000 kill 12,000 (8:25). After killing 12,000 Joshua builds an altar (8:30) and performs sacrifices (8:31)
Gibeon is the Royal city and “all its men were mighty” (10:2). Gibeon is assailed by 5 Amorite (Giant) kings (10:5-7) and ally themselves to the children of the God of Israel
*Special note – Joshua 13:22 Balaam, the soothsayer, Baal worshipper is killed (24:8-9 and see judges 9:37 and the Diviner’s Terebrinth Tree)
**Special note: When the Levites are moving the Ark, a warning is given to stay 2000 cubits in measure away from IT (Joshua 3:1-4) and 4:16 is the first account of the term ‘the ark of the testimony’
***Special note: Joshua performs the circumcision ritual upon the banks of the Jordan river when confronted by Amorite and Canaanite giants (5:2) and kept passover on the 14th day of the month and had also ran out of ‘manna’ (5:10-12 and also numbers 11:6-9; 6:17 and offering rams as sacrifices). Achan is stoned to death for taking an ‘accursed thing’ (babylonian garment)
Joshua 4:13, “About 40,000 prepared for war crossed over before the LORD for battle, to the plains of Jericho”
As the Giants are Rephaim, there are more passages that mention these beings.
Isaiah 17:5 – “It shall be as he who gathers heads of grain in the valley of the Rephaim”
1 Chronicles 11:15 – “Now three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David into the cave of Adullam; and the army of the philistines encamped in the valley of the
Rephaim”1 Chronicles 11:22 – “(Benaiah) He had killed two lion-like heroes of Moab”
1 Chronicles 11:23-24 – “And he (Benaiah) killed an Egyptian, a man of great height, five cubits tall (8.4ft). These things Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada did, and won a name among three
mighty men”
Joshua 10:26 The 5 Amorite kings are caught and killed in a cave in Makkedah and hanged. The 5 giant kings names are Hoham, Piram, Japhia, Debir and Adonai-Zedek where they “remain to this day” (10:27)Joshua then systematically attacks and ‘cleanses’ the 5 cities of the giant kings and ‘utterly destroyed all that breathed’ (10:40). Joshua had conquered Southern lands, the mountains and the lowlands, but 4 or more giant kings unite clans to take on 40,000 of joshua’s army. Joshua hamstrings the horses, burns everything in Hazor and ‘there were none left breathing’ (11:13)
Apart from the HIVITES, all the giant kings (and clans and cities) have been apparently annihilated. The Anakim are cut off (11:21) but they still remain in Gaza in Gath and Ashdod
Joshua 13:1-3; 23:1 Joshua is old after slaughtering 31 kings (giants?) but ‘there remains very much land to be possessed’ and 5 kings remain of the Philistines, Gazites, Ashdodites, Ashkelonites and Avites
The Sun stands still (Joshua 10:11)
Joshua 11:22 None of the Anakim from Hebron, Debir, Anab, all the mountains of Judah and from all the mountains of Israel remained .. They only remained in Gaza, in Gath and Ashdad
The cities that are systematically destroyed were Jericho –> Makkadeh –> Libnah –> Lachish –> Eglon –> Hebron –> Debir -> Jericho
Joshua 13:12 All the kingdom of Og of Bashan … who remained a remnant of the giants; for [Ah]moses had defeated and cast out these.
Joshua 12:2-24 Sihon, king of the Amorites (Hesbon) and Og of Bashan who was a remnant of the Giants,… and reigned over Mount Hermon..
Joshua 14:15 “and the name of Hebron formally was Kirjath Arba (Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim)” 31 kings killed – 24 named
Joshua 14:7-12 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh (Holy) Barnea (Desert of Wandering or “an oasis in the wilderness”) to spy out the land, and I brought back word to him.. And now, behold, the LORD has kept me alive as He said, these forty-five years, ever since the LORD spoke this word to Moses while Israel wandered in the wilderness; and now, here I am this day, eighty five years old.
Joshua 14:12 Now therefore, give me this mountain of which the LORD spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there and that the cities were great and fortified
Joshua 15:8 Which is at the end of the valley of the rephaim (giants)
Joshua 15:13-16 Now to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh he gave a share among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, namely, Kirjath Arba which is Hebron (Arba was the father of Anak). Caleb drove out (Judges 1:10; 1:20 write killed and expelled) the 3 sons of Anak from there; Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak. The he went up from there to the inhabitants of Debir (formerly, the name of Debir was Kirjath Sepher)
After genociding most of the giant kings, clans and cities, some still remained and some clans could not be eradicated completely (Joshua 16:10; 17:12). After some complaining in Joshua’s camp, he puts them in a predicament – If they want more land, why not journey to the ‘forest country’ (17:15) and clear away the perezzites and the giants since the mountains of Ephraim are ‘too confined’ for them; yet the
giants have ‘chariots of iron and are strong’ (17:16-18). Canaanites dwell there also. The land is curiously divided into several portions and the 7th portion is passed to the tribe of Dan (Joshua 19:40-47) and
the city of LashemCommon-lands (48 designated ‘safe zones’; Prisons) are established for accidental murderers to flee
to and not return to the sanctified cities (Joshua 20-22, reinforcing some of the tenets in the book of Numbers. The peoples who haven’t been killed or conquered are now put to forced labour (Joshua
16:10;17:12-13).
All things seem peaceful until 3 tribes; Reuben, Gad and Manasseh built a sacrificial altar beside the LORD’s altar (Joshua 22:10-16) .. “by building yourselves and altar besides the altar of the LORD our
God. Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing, (a Babylonian garment) and wrath (plague) fell on all the congregation of Israel? A replica of the original altar was
emplaced and all was resolved (Joshua 22:28) Joshua give the troops one final pep talk…
Joshua 23:7 And lest you go among these nations, these who remain among you. You shall not make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause anyone to swear by them; you shall not serve
them nor bow down to them. Joshua 23:12-13 Or else, if indeed you do go back, and cling to the remnant of these nations – these that remain among you – and make marriages with them – and go into them or they to you; know for certain that the LORD your God will no longer drive out these nations from before you. But they shall be snares and traps to you and scourges on your sides and thorns in
your eyes (Judges 2:3). Moses is told he will die on Mount Nebo and trespassed against the LORD at the waters of Meribah Kadesh , in the wilderness of Zin, because ‘you did not hallow me in the
midst of the children of Israel (Deuteronomy 32:51)
The Book of Judges
Judges 2:1-3 Then the Angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim and said, ‘I led you up from Egypt and brought you to the land of which I swore to your fathers; and I said, ‘I will never break My
covenant with you. And you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall tear down their altars. But you have not obeyed My voice. Why have you done this?’
Judges 2:3 Therefore I also said, ‘I will not drive them out before you, but they be enemies to you, and their gods shall be a snare to you
Joshua 24:2-7 And Joshua said to all the people, “This says the LORD God of Israel; ‘your fathers, including Terah, the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor, dwelt on the other side of the river
Euphrates in old times; and they served other gods. Then I took your father Abraham from the other side of the River, led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his descendants and gave
him Isaac. To Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. To Esau I gave the mountains of Seir to possess, but Jacob and his children went down to Egypt. Also I sent Moses and Aaron, and plagued Egypt,
according to what I did among them. Afterward I brought you out….then you dwelt in the wilderness a long time
The book of Judges seems to reinforce a previous time frame of successful conquering to re-energise the people, including the exploits of [Ah/Moses, Joshua and Caleb and the further cleansing of the
inhabitants. Taking up from the end of Joshua and his address to the tribes, we turn to Judges Chapter 2…
Judges 2:10 When all that [perverse - Deuteronomy 31:29; 32:5) - and corrupt] generation (Deuteronomy 32:17-21) had been gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who
did not know the LORD nor the work which He had done for Israel. Joshua 2:11-14 Then the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD and served the Baals. ..and they bowed to them, and they provoked the LORD to anger. They forsook the LORD and served the Baals and the Astoreths,
The Book of Judges – 9 episodes of the return to Baal worship – 1321 BC
[1] Judges 3:12 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD (captives under the Moabite King Eglon (finally disembowled) for 18 years
[2] Judges 4:1 When Ehud was dead, the Children of Israel did evil again
[3] Judges 6:1 Then the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD (after 40 years of peace post Deborah (5:31) conquered by the Midianites for it (6:6)
[5] Judges 8:27 Then Gideon (Jerubbaal, Son of Joash) made it into an ephod. And all Israel played the harlot
[6] Judges 8:33 As soon as Gideon was dead, the children of Israel again played the harlot with the baals, and made Baal Berith their god
[7] Judges 10:6 Then the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served the Baals and the Astorteths, the gods of Syria, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the people of Ammon and the gods of the philistines
[8] Judges 10:10-14 We have sinned against you because we have both forsaken our god and served Baals!
[9] Judges 13:1 Again the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD and 40 years under judgment of the philistines (See Numbers 25:1-2). Samson is born in this era of the tribe of Dan
Judges chapter 11 retraces the steps of Deuteronomy and Joshua when Judges 11:1 Jephthah (the Gileadite was a mighty man of valor) combating the remnant of the Ammonites; “
Judges 11:33 And he defeated them from Aroer as far as Minnith – 20 cities – and to Abel Keramim (‘plain of vineyards’) with a very great slaughter. Thus the people of Ammon were subdued before the
children of Israel
The rest of the book of Judges deals with Samson and Delilah, strange repeating numerical motifs (sevens and 300, 3 days, ect) and the baal worshipping of the house of Micah. There is also a parallel
with Sodom and Gomorrah when the Levite, searching for his concubine who’d gone missing for 4 months ‘playing the harlot’ (Judges 19:2), encounters Gibeah which belongs to Benjamin (19:14) and the bizarre inhumane treatment of the concubine of the Levite who casts the woman out into the arms of the baying,
perverted (‘sons of Belial’) men (19:22-20) who is abused and assumed to have been raped all night; collapsing at the door, the Levite sternly shouts “Get up and let us be going” - somehow being raped and
abused all night is just something you can shrug off and carry on journeying. The concubine doesn’t seem to pull through and she is dismembered with a knife (19:29) into 12 pieces, ‘limb-by-limb’ by the Levite after
taking her back to his place. There is no logical conclusion what this has to do with anything. (20:5-7)
This strange account of abuse triggers off a war between the tribes of Benjamin and the Children of Israel, ending in the almost complete genocide of the tribe of Benjamin (Judges 21:15 ‘had made a void’ ) from a total tribe of 26,000 to only 900 after (Judges 20:35) ‘the children of Israel destroyed that day 25,100 Benjamites, all these drew the sword. After nearly wiping out one tribe, and all the potential
females, the remedy employed was to send 12,000 valiant men to sack Jabesh Gilead and ‘utterly destroy every male, and every woman who has known a man intimately. So they found among the
inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead 400 hundred young virgins who had not known a man intimately (Judges 21:10-12) but 400 virgins and 900 men is not enough. So the remaining Benjamites travel to
Shiloh, in Bethel; hide in the Vineyards and kidnap some young dancers at the LORD’s feast festival. This, somehow, is not vile.
2 Samuel 23:13 – “And the troop of philistines encamped in the valley of the Rephaim” (Chronicles 1:11-10-25, 1 Chronicles 10:10 and the Temple of Dagon)
2 Samuel 21:1 – “Now there was a famine in the days of David for three years, year by year”
2 Samuel 21:16 – “Then Ishbi-Benob, who was one of the sons of the Giant, the weight of whose bronze spear was three hundred shekels” (1/4 shekel = 2.49 grams; 1 shekel = 9.56 grams)
2 Samuel 21:18-20 – “Now it happened afterwards that there was again a battle with the philistines at Gob (Gezer). Then sibbichai the Hushathite killed Saph/sippai who was one of the sons of the giant. (19)
Again there was war at Gob (Gezer) with the philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jairoregim, the bethlehemite killed the brother of Golliath the Gittite. (20) Yet again there was war at Gath (Gezer), where
there was a man of great stature, who has six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty four in number, and he was also born to the giant”

Satan is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 21 Now Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel and again in Psalm 109:6 Set a wicked man over him , and let an Satan stand at his right hand, when he is judged, let him be found guilty
Cannibalism is mentioned in Psalms 14:4 Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And do not call upon the LORD? And Psalm 27:2 When the wicked come against me to eat up my flesh. Psalm 53:3-5 Everyone of them has turned aside; They have together become corrupt; There is none who does good. No. Not one. Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread. Psalm 59:2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, And save me from bloodthirsty men.

A Case of Incestuous rape from the ‘holy line’ of David
2 Samuel 13:11-22 But she (Tamar) answered him (Ammon) ‘No, my brother, do not force me, for no such thing should be done in Israel. Do not do this disgraceful thing! And I, where could I take my shame? And as for you, you would be like one of the fools of Israel. Now therefore, please speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from you (11:14) However, he would not heed her voice; and being stronger
than she, he forced her and lay with her…(11:18) Now she had a robe of many colours, for the king’s virgin daughters wore such apparel and his servant put her out and bolted the door behind her
(after hating her more after the rape than before the lust / love he had before hand. Very strange mental behaviour by any standards of morality or decency.
2 Samuel 13:22 And Absalom spoke to his brother Ammon, neither good nor bad. For Absalom hated Ammon, because he had forced his sister Tamar2 Samuel 13:32 …for only Ammon is dead. For by the command of Absalom this had been determined from the day he forced his sister Tamar
The ‘Plague’ phenomenon and passing comets or aerial heavenly bodies, and ‘returning saviour’’ archetypes and ‘returning or
resurrecting the Old Sun Gods of Old’
The Forgotten books of Eden, by Rutherford. H, Platt, Jnr (1926):
Chapter VI, Verse 9 – “”For I am God the Creator, who, when I created My Creatures, did not intend to destroy them. But after they had sorely roused My anger, I punished them with grievous plagues, until they repent.
For context to time frames, Chapter IV states; (3) “But when Adam heard these words from God, and of the five days and a half , he did not understand the meaning of them. (4) For Adam was thinking there would be but five days and a half for him, to the end of the world. (5) And Adam wept, and prayed to God to explain it to him. (6) Then God said in His mercy for Adam who was made after His own image and similitude, explained to him, that these were 5,000 and 500 years; and how One would then come and save him and his seed
Chapter VII – (7) “But the wicked Satan who continued not in his first estate, nor kept his faith; in whom was no good intent towards Me, and [who] though I had created him, yet set me at naught, and sought the Godhead, so that I hurled him down from Heaven, -- he it is who made the tree appear pleasant in your eyes, until you ate of it, hearkening to him”
SATAN (created by God) ------ (existed before Adam) ----- Adam and Eve (created by God) ---- Offspring
SATAN (post 15,000 BC) First Generation Adama 9500 BC Age of Leo 5,500 year later = 4000 B.C.
The book also cites the first curious written recording of an attempted (historical or metaphorical) double suicide attempt of Adam and Eve, who are vicariously resurrected from Death, as Adam and Eve are
informed that being mortal and not Angelic, they see the waters (as mortals need water) whereas before they saw not (for the importance of water and mankind’s requirement of it as sustenance).
Speaking about Adam’s similar Fall from grace by another before him, Chapter XIII says;
(2) “Oh Adam, so long as the good angel was obedient to Me, a bright light rested on him and on his hosts. (3) But when he transgressed My Commandment, I deprived him of that bright nature, and he became dark. (4) And when he was in Heaven, in the realms of light, he knew naught of darkness. (5) But he transgressed, and I made him fall from heaven upon the earth; and it was this darkness
that came upon him. (6) And on thee, O Adam, while in My garden and obedient to Me, did that bright light rest also. (7) But when I heard of thy transgression, I deprived thee of that bright light. Yet of My mercy, I did not turn thee into darkness, but I made thee thy body of flesh, over which I spread
this skin, in order that it may bear cold and heat. (8) If I had let My wrath fall heavily upon thee, I should have destroyed thee; and had I turned thee into darkness, it would have been as if I had killed
thee”
The second instance of attempted suicide by both Adam and Eve is in Chapter XXI –(4) “Then Adam threw himself down from the top of that mountain; his face was torn and his flesh was flayed; much blood flowed from him, and he was nigh unto death. (5) Meanwhile Eve remained standing on the mountain weeping over him, thus lying (6) And she said, “I wish not to live after him; for all that
he did to himself was through me. (7) Then she threw herself after him; and was torn and scotched by stones; and remained lying as dead. (8) But the merciful God, who looks upon His creatures,
looked upon Adam and Eve as they lay dead, and He sent His word unto them, and raised them. (9) And said to Adam, “O Adam, all this misery which thou hast wrought upon thyself, it will avail against
My rule, neither will it alter the covenant of the 5500 years”
The dialogue continues with Adam and Eve (depicted as the most gullible or naive ‘animal flesh’ on earth at the time) being psychologically tortured by Satan and by God, which is odd in itself to read
such ‘divine mind-games’ being played upon the first fruits of Mankind – deceived, duped, fooled and double-crossed numerous times. Also, it’s curious to note that no matter how Adam and Eve try and
commit suicide and end the suffering, God ‘raises them’ back to life again. It is no wonder both characters become slightly paranoid later on. However, in Chapter LV, the story of the Fall is told…
Chapter LV - (8) “But now, O Adam, we will make known to thee, what came upon us through him, before his fall from Heaven. (9) He gathered together his hosts, and deceived them, promising them
to give them a great kingdom, a divine nature, and other promises he made them. (10) His hosts believed his word was true, so they yielded to him, and renounced the glory of God. (11) He then sent for us according to the orders in which we were to come under his command, and to hearken to his
vain promise. But we would not, and we took not his advice.
(12) Then after he fought with God, and had dealt forwardly with Him, he gathered together his hosts, and made war with us. And, if it had not been for God’s strength that was with us, we could not have prevailed against him to hurl him from Heaven. (13) But when he fell from among us, there was
great joy in heaven, because of his going down from us. For had he continued in Heaven, nothing, not even one angel would have remained in it. (14) But God in His mercy, drove him from among us to this dark earth; for he had become darkness itself and a worker of unrighteousness”.
Chapter LXXIII – “Then the angels commanded Adam and Eve, to arise and pray forty days and forty nights; and after that, that Adam should come in to his wife; for then this would be an act pure and undefiled; and he should have children who would multiply, and replenish the face of the earth.
The term ‘re-plenish’ (‘re’ – to do again) gives the reader the impression that there may have previously been plenty more life on the face of the earth before Adam and Eve and their new arrival on the dark earth. It also suggests that there was possibly a pre-Adamic people before, maybe a previous cataclysmic event or flood event had caused their destruction, or at the very least, a significant drop in
the remaining gene pool, and a ‘re-population’ of sorts was heralded with Adam and Eve and a New Tree (seed; lineage).
New Testament period – Paul - Galatians
Galatians (Apostle Paul) - States the present age is ‘evil’ (Galatians 1:3)Travelled to Arabia and Damascus before travelling to Jerusalem ‘3 years later’ (1:17-18) to see Peter/Cephus and saw Jesus’s brother, James and no other Apostles. Peter is charged with hypocrisyTravelled to Syria and Ciillicia for 14 years before travelling again to Jerusalem (2:1) with Barnabus and Titus (greek)Paul cites Genesis 21:10 (Galatians 4:27) Genesis 15:6 (see Genesis 15:13) and mosaic law (Galatians 3:6) and Deuteronomy 27:26 and 21:23 (Galatians 3:10-14)
Paul states (3:17) the 430 years journey of Abraham – Jacob (215 years) – Jacob – Moses (215 years)Paul uses an old word for Yahweh – ‘’Abba, Father!” (Galatians 4:6)Pau charges the ‘gentiles’ and the hypocrite Jews that they worship non-gods (4:8), “you served those which by nature are not gods”
Paul insists the circumcision ritual is now ineffective (Galatians 5:2-3) “Indeed, I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law…For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything..”.. (Galatians 6:12-13) “For not even those who are circumcised keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh .. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation”
