AVISO: (Este episodio ha sido realizado desde el respeto hacia todos los creyentes y la fe que procesen, sin intención de ofender a nadie con ello, pero ejerciendo una plena libertad de análisis e investigación. De igual manera indicar que el Antiguo Testamento no deba ser tomado en consideración como libro histórico alguno, sino como un conjunto de metáforas, alegorías y arquetipos que en última instancia tratan de ocultar el verdadero conocimiento). El presente episodio implica un exhaustivo análisis del Génesis bíblico, desde un punto de vista tan objetivo como libre de dogmas y extraído de mi primer libro “Matar a Dios” – La Biblia y otros engaños, una extensa saga de ensayo fundamentada en el análisis de las antiguas escrituras, además de un profundo y revelador cuaderno de bitácora de lo acontecido especialmente a partir del año 2020. Dicho episodio está realizado desde el máximo respeto hacia todos los creyentes como indicara y como no podría ser de otra manera, por lo que nadie deba sentirse ofendido por ello, dado que cuestionar lo interpuesto es un derecho más sagrado si cabe que la propia imposición de textos que indiquen ser igualmente sagrados, especialmente cuando sabemos que han sido profundamente tergiversados. Arquetipos y avanzadas enseñanzas codificadas aparte, analizaremos la figura de Jehová o Yahvé, al igual que sus acciones, las cuales lo señalan como un líder tan déspota como sanguinario, en contraposición absoluta al mensaje de Jesús, quien podamos considerar su antagonista. Un episodio que no puedes perderte para igualmente alcanzar a comprender el verdadero paralelismo existente entre infinidad de culturas y civilizaciones, que a fin de cuentas nos hablaran de los mismos eventos y de los mismos protagonistas bajo diferentes nombres. Con este episodio, centrado especialmente en la figura de José de Egipto, concluimos esta serie dedicada al análisis del Génesis bíblico, el cual espero sea de vuestro agrado. BIBLIOGRAFÍA: ANÓNIMO.

Send us a textGods, ETs, or both? Does our creation narrative tell of a cosmic battle high up in the Heavens? The stories we've cherished for millennia as divine revelations may have very ancient—and potentially extraterrestrial—origins than most realize. Our dive into the Enuma Elish, the Babylonian creation myth that predates Genesis by over a thousand years, reveals shocking parallels that challenge conventional religious understanding.When 19th-century archaeologists unearthed the Library of Ashurbanipal in Nineveh, they discovered clay tablets containing creation narratives startlingly similar to Biblical accounts. The Enuma Elish, an epic poem written in Akkadian cuneiform script, tells of primordial waters dividing, skies forming, and humans being created to serve gods. These are all elements found in the Book of Genesis, but with dramatically more detail about cosmic battles and involving multiple deities.We explore the provocative question proposed by ancient astronaut theorists: what if these weren't mythologies at all, but attempts by ancient humans to document encounters with advanced beings using the limited vocabulary available to them? As Zecharia Sitchin pointed out, while later cultures might create myths, how does the very first civilization—Sumer—get a myth? Perhaps their accounts weren't metaphorical but historical and then filtered down through generations of oral tradition before being condensed into the Biblical form that we know today.The evidence suggests the Old Testament's formation occurred much later than many believe—compiled after the Babylonian exile around 520 BCE, allowing ample time for Mesopotamian cosmologies to influence Hebrew thought. Archaeological discoveries even reveal that early Israelite religion included a female consort for Yahweh named Asherah, paralleling the divine couples in surrounding cultures, before later theological developments emphasized monotheism and abstraction.Whether you approach these texts through faith, historical interest, or the ancient alien perspective, they demand the same rigorous standards of evidence and critical thinking. The striking similarities between these accounts offer profound insights into humanity's earliest attempts to understand our origins and purpose. We must ask how they continue to shape our worldviews today?"Space Journey" by Geoff HarveyCopyright © 2021 Melody Loops LPFull License Royalty-Free Music https://www.melodyloops.com Support the showVisit our website

In this enlightening episode of the Prometheus Lens Podcast, host Justin engages with Douglas Elwell, author of 'Planet X, the Sign of the Son of Man and the End of the Age.' The conversation delves into the intriguing connections between ancient mythology, biblical prophecies, and modern astronomical theories surrounding Planet X. Elwell shares his journey from studying ancient texts to exploring the scientific basis of Planet X theory, discussing its implications for understanding the creation of Earth and the potential for future cosmic events. In this conversation, Doug Elwell discusses the connections between ancient texts, particularly the Book of Job and the Enuma Elish, and their implications regarding the destruction of Sumer and the role of Planet X. He explores the mythological representations of Planet X, its significance in biblical prophecy, and the potential for its return. The discussion also touches on themes of deception, technology, and the cyclical nature of divine judgment throughout history. #Astronomy #Space #PlanetX #Prophecy #AncientSumer #Bible #Jesus #Christ #LostHistory #PrometheusLensPodcastHead over to http://www.prometheuslenspodcast.com to sign up for the "All Access Pass" and get early access to episodes, private community, members only episodes, private Q & A's, and coming documentaries.

The biblical story of creation is famous - but did you know an even older myth may have influenced it? Enter the Enuma Elish, Babylon's own Epic of Creation.In this episode of The Ancients, Tristan Hughes and Dr. Sophus Helle, a leading expert on ancient Mesopotamian literature, explore this ancient text - an epic tale that glorifies Marduk, Babylon's supreme god, and tells of how he shaped the cosmos from chaos. It is a myth that placed Babylon at the centre of the universe and shines a light on Babylonian attitudes to power and belief. Indeed, it may well have shaped the Book of Genesis itself...Presented by Tristan Hughes.

Enoch Was SHOWN the Matrix Code and Architect! | Cub Kuker Supernatural Podcast (EP511) Ancient texts hold echoes of advanced truths, wrapped in symbolic language and stories. Among these texts, we find profound revelations about the nature of reality that align eerily with modern holographic universe theories. By examining sources like the Enuma Elish, the Book of Enoch, the Bible, The Hermetica, and modern scientific advancements, we uncover a startling possibility: we are living in a projected reality, controlled and maintained by cosmic forces that may not be entirely "real" themselves.

Raamatun alkukertomukset (eli kaksi erilaista luomiskertomusta, syntiinlankeemus, Kain ja Abel, Nooan arkki, Babylonin torni sekä väleissä olevat tylsät sukuluettelot) muistuttavat ympäröivien kulttuurien mytologioita. Entä jos ne ovat alkujaan parodiamaisia mukaelmia omana aikanaan kaikille tutuista tarinoista? Raamatun alkukertomusten sanoma paljastuu uudella tavalla, kun kiinnitetään huomiota niihin yksityiskohtiin, jotka poikkeavat muinaisen Lähi-idän myyteistä (kuten Gilgamesh-, Atrahasis- ja Enuma Elish -eepoksista.

What similarities are there between the Enuma Elish and the Genesis creation account? Is the Genesis creation account copied from the Enuma Elish?

In today's episode, we journey into the extraordinary mind of Billy Carson, a man who has devoted his life to uncovering the hidden truths of our ancient past and connecting them to the profound mysteries of our present. Billy Carson is not just an author and researcher but a modern-day seeker who dives headfirst into the unknown, unearthing forgotten wisdom and presenting it in ways that are both eye-opening and transformative.Our conversation begins with a fascinating childhood experience that sparked Billy's insatiable curiosity. Imagine being a seven-year-old child, gazing up at the sky in Miami, and witnessing something that defies all conventional understanding—an unidentified object, glowing with an ethereal light, moving across the sky with impossible speed. This was not just a fleeting moment of wonder; it was the ignition of a lifelong quest. "There were advanced beings on this earth in ancient times," his mother told him, planting the seed that would grow into a vast exploration of ancient civilizations, star systems, and the technologies they may have left behind.As Billy recounts, his journey took him deep into the annals of history, where he discovered ancient texts that spoke of civilizations far more advanced than mainstream history would have us believe. The Enuma Elish, the Epic of Atrahasis, and other Sumerian texts revealed to him a world where gods and humans coexisted, where the lines between mythology and reality blur. These were not mere stories but accounts of beings who came from the stars, interacted with humans, and left behind technological wonders that continue to baffle us today.One of the most compelling aspects of Billy's research is his work on the Anunnaki, the ancient beings described in Sumerian mythology. According to these texts, the Anunnaki were not just gods but flesh-and-blood beings from another star system who played a significant role in shaping human civilization. They were the architects of great cities, the creators of monumental structures that align with celestial bodies, and the bringers of knowledge and technology that still eludes modern science. As Billy puts it, "We are duplicating what's already been done, in the form of AI and learning machines."In this episode, Billy also delves into the mystery of the Ark of the Covenant, a technological device of immense power described in the Bible. But was there more than one Ark? According to Billy, the Ark was not a singular artifact but one of several devices scattered across the ancient world, each holding the key to untold energies and capabilities. These Arks were not just religious symbols; they were advanced technologies capable of generating electricity, and possibly even more, based on the precise specifications laid out in ancient texts.SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSThe Cosmic Connection: Billy's experiences remind us that our existence is deeply connected to the cosmos. The mysteries of the universe are not just out there but are also within us, reflecting a divine pattern that repeats itself across time and space.The Power of Ancient Wisdom: The ancient texts and technologies discussed by Billy suggest that our ancestors were far more advanced than we often give them credit for. Their knowledge, especially in spiritual and technological realms, could offer us profound insights if we choose to explore them.The Journey of Self-Discovery: Billy's personal journey is a testament to the idea that the quest for knowledge is also a quest for self-discovery. As we uncover the truths of the universe, we also uncover the truths within ourselves.In a world where so much of our history is hidden or forgotten, Billy Carson reminds us that the answers we seek may lie in the ancient past, waiting to be rediscovered. His work is a beacon for those who wish to explore beyond the veil of accepted history and delve into the true origins of human civilization.Please enjoy my conversation with Billy Carson.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

Marduk är en skapelsegud i babylonisk mytologi och staden Babylons stadsgud. Son till vatten- och vishetsguden Ea. Ursprungligen var Marduk en sol- och fruktbarhetsgud som associerades med jordbruket. Med de babylonska krigsframgångarna steg han till högre gudomlig status och med tiden sög han upp egenskaper från andra gudar. I det berömda litterära eposet Enuma-Elish som högtidligen reciterades i samband med den stora nyårsfesten i Babylon, berättas det till exempel att Marduk i en svunnen forntid klöv den stora kaosdraken Tiamat mitt itu och att han av delarna skapade jord och himmel. (Går med andra ord att jämföra med grekernas Kronos och asarnas Ymer.) Babels torn är ett byggnadsverk omnämnt i Gamla Testamentet, 1 Mos. 11:1-9. Enligt en teori handlar Babels torn ursprungligen om en ett babyloniskt trappstegstempel, en ziqqurat, tillägnat guden Marduk. I texten sägs att människorna ville bygga en stad, med ett torn som når ända upp till himlen. På så sätt skulle deras namn bli känt och de skulle slippa vara skingrade över hela jorden. De hade hittat en dal i Shinar där de hade bosatt sig. För att bygga tornet slog man tegel och som murbruk använde man "jordebeck". Herren steg ner för att se på staden och tornet och säger då: "De är ett enda folk och har alla samma språk. Detta är bara början. Nu är ingenting omöjligt för dem, vad de än föresätter sig". Guds reaktion på stadsbyggandet och tornbygget blir därefter att han vill "skapa förvirring i deras språk, så att den ene inte förstår vad den andre säger". Platsen kallas sedan dess för Babel, det var där språkförbistringen skapades och från vilken Herren skingrade människorna ut över hela jorden och byggandet av staden upphörde. Tänka sig att även i Kristen mytologi beskrivs taktiken härska genom söndring i form av ett implementerat kulturkrig... Så vad är då EU-parlamentets egentliga uppgift och varför ser det ut som om byggnaden är designad efter gamla målningar på Babels torn? De Fria är en folkrörelse som jobbar för demokrati genom en upplyst och medveten befolkning!

Cub Kuker Supernatural Podcast EP421 Marduk is a significant deity in Mesopotamian mythology, specifically within the Babylonian and Assyrian traditions. He is often associated with the Anunnaki pantheon, although his prominence grew over time, especially during the Babylonian period. Here are key points about Marduk: 1. Role and Attributes: Marduk was the patron deity of the city of Babylon, and his rise to prominence parallels the ascent of Babylon as a major power in ancient Mesopotamia. He was associated with various aspects such as justice, victory, and wisdom. Marduk was often depicted as a dragon or serpent-like creature, symbolizing his power and authority. 2. Enuma Elish: Marduk's most famous mythological role is in the Babylonian creation epic known as the Enuma Elish. In this myth, Marduk is portrayed as the champion of the gods who defeats the chaos dragon Tiamat, thus establishing order and creating the cosmos from her body parts. This victory elevates Marduk to the position of supreme deity in the Babylonian pantheon. 3. Attributes and Titles: Marduk was attributed with various titles and attributes, reflecting his diverse roles and powers. He was often called Bel (meaning "lord"), a title that signifies his supreme authority. Marduk was also associated with the planet Jupiter, further linking him to celestial powers and cosmic order. 4. Following and Worship: Marduk's following was central to Babylonian religious practices. The city of Babylon held grand festivals and ceremonies in honor of Marduk, especially during the New Year's festival called Akitu. Priests and priestesses served in Marduk's temples, offering prayers, sacrifices, and rituals to ensure the well-being and prosperity of Babylon. 5. Legacy: Marduk's influence extended beyond the Babylonian period. When Babylon became a major cultural and political center in the ancient world, Marduk's cult and mythology spread to other regions influenced by Babylonian culture. In summary, Marduk is a prominent deity within the Anunnaki pantheon, known for his role in the Enuma Elish creation myth and his association with Babylonian power and authority. His attributes as a warrior, judge, and creator figure illustrate the complexities of ancient Mesopotamian religious beliefs and practices.

Sean bienvenidos a un nuevo directo desde Twitter, estamos ya en el UTP291 a solo 9 de celebrar nuestro programa 300. Como oirán en el breve flash previo al programa necesitamos que nos envíen audios de menos de un minuto para felicitarnos, criticarnos o simplemente comentar alguna cosa para que los publiquemos en el programa 300. Aunque no somos muchos sí podemos presumir de tener una audiencia bastante fiel en Buscadores de la Verdad y estaremos encantados de escucharles en ese programa especial. Hemos hablado de muchos temas diferentes durante la nueva etapa en solitario desde que abandoné Canal Zero. Podríamos decir que el primer programa con el sello de UTP podría ser el UTP33 La bomba nuclear que quiso fabricar Franco de julio del 2017. Desde entonces son 258 programas en estos casi siete años, o lo que es lo mismo, un programa cada 9 días. Casi uno a la semana. No ha resultado fácil compaginar la vida familiar y laboral para obtener el tiempo necesario de investigación, lectura y desarrollo de estos casi 260 programas. Y hemos hablado largo y tendido de múltiples temas que pensamos habrán sido de su interés. Hoy tocaremos un tema que creo que no hemos desarrollado nunca y es el de como las élites psicopatocraticas que están en el poder están ejecutando los mismos rituales que se realizaban por ejemplo en el antiguo Egipto. De vez en cuando llega a la opinión pública alguna pincelada como por ejemplo el lanzamiento de esos tres cohetes por parte de la NASA con el nombre de Apep. Apofis, o Apep, representaba en la mitología egipcia a las fuerzas maléficas que habitan el Duat y a las tinieblas. En la wikipedia podemos leer: “Es una serpiente gigantesca, inmortal y poderosa, cuya función consistía en interrumpir el recorrido nocturno de la barca solar conducida por Ra y defendida por Seth, para evitar que consiguiera alcanzar el nuevo día. Para ello empleaba varios métodos: atacaba la barca directamente o culebreaba para provocar bancos de arena donde el navío encallara. Todo ello tenía sólo una finalidad: romper la Maat, el «orden cósmico». Apofis representa el mal, con el que había que luchar para contenerlo; sin embargo, nunca sería aniquilada, solo era dañada o sometida, ya que de otro modo el ciclo solar no podría llevarse a cabo diariamente y el mundo perecería. Para los antiguos egipcios era necesario que existiese el concepto del mal para que el bien fuera posible. Los egipcios creían que, cuando el cielo se teñía de rojo, era a causa de las heridas provocadas a Apofis. También, interpretaron que los eclipses eran obra suya, en la lucha en la Duat.” La vimos en acción en la película del 2016 Dioses de Egipto donde nos describían como reales los mitos egipcios. Y es que cuando produjeron esa película allá por 2016 había otra superproducción de la misma temática que nunca vio la luz, Anunnaki de Jon Gress. Se rumoreo que dejaba demasiado claro como las élites siguen rindiendo culto a estas deidades antiguas. El director de Dioses de Egipto tiene una filmografía envidiable con películas como El cuervo, Dark City, Yo, robot o Señales del futuro y el mismo se ha quejado de que “la dictadura de lo poco original y lo políticamente correcto mató a sus Dioses de Egipto”. El director que es egipcio tuvo que pedir disculpas por la falta de diversidad racial en el reparto y el film fue tan duramente criticado que este magnífico director ya no ha vuelto a rodar. La película con un presupuesto de 140 millones de dólares fue duramente criticada y le costo muchos años llegar a recuperar dicha inversión. Parece que mostró más de lo que debía mostrar y por eso fue castigada. De la otra superproducción que se estaba realizando a la vez ya nunca se supo nada y ahora ni siquiera encontramos restos en internet salvo en páginas de conspiración. El director de Dioses de Egipto nos habla de uno de sus proyectos inacabados: “En una situación en particular estuve trabajando en un proyecto llamado 'Paradise Lost', y estuvimos en ella durante dos años. El estudio gastó 25 millones de dólares, pero lo cancelaron y dijeron: "no vamos a hacerla". Dijeron que era el presupuesto, pero no creo que fuera eso, era demasiado... Ya sabes cómo es el poema de John Milton, tienes a Lucifer transformándose en un santo... Fue considerado blasfemia cuando se escribió en el siglo XVII y todavía parece como algo que enfadaría bastante.” El cine siempre nos mostró el verdadero rostro del poder y los recovecos mas oscuros de éste, aunque muchas veces lo hiciese de una forma ininteligible para el común de los mortales. Esto lo vimos al analizar películas como Eyes wide Shut, El destino de Júpiter o Blade Runner, todas ellas diseccionadas en nuestros Videos Es Clave. Una y otra vez vemos como utilizan fechas clave o nombres mitológicos desde la ciencia más rancia como la NASA, dónde en una burla infinita nos contó que solo podia sacar 33 tornillos de los 35 de la cápsula OSIRIS-REX que envió recientemente a tomar muestras a un asteroide. Un Tuitero y escritor llamado Hidden Amuraka nos cuenta como Estados Unidos es “la última encarnación del Antiguo Egipto y los sistemas más antiguos se construyeron sobre el propio Egipto”. En Breve historia del futuro Jacques Attali nos habla de lo que el llama corazones del imperio y como se van desplazando por el mundo según van apareciendo innovaciones técnicas capitales como el timón de codaste, la máquina de vapor, el motor de explosión y por último la electricidad. Es curioso como el señor Attali no asigna ninguno de esos corazones del imperio en España, que fue un gran imperio durante varios siglos. Si leemos los artículos del puntal de Dios en mi blog y más concretamente el que va a publicar LA LEYENDA DE LAS ESTRELLAS ERRANTES Y LOS REYES DEL TIEMPO (PARTE III) veremos cómo España estaba en la pomada con los reyes imperiales Carlos V y Felipe II. Attali no nombra a los imperios clásicos babilónico, sumerio, egipcio, griego o romano y sin embargo si nos habla de Brujas, Venecia, Amberes, Génova, Amsterdam, Londres, Boston, Nueva York y por ultimo Los Angeles. También nos habla de la última transformación hacia una sociedad nómada que ya no tiene un punto definido en la Tierra desde donde ejercer su poder ya que los objetos nómadas le otorgan ese poder esté donde esté. El poder actual radica en los objetos que utilizan cosas aparentemente intangibles…por ejemplo estoy escribiendo esta entradilla con un ordenador Mac llamado aire. Yo, sin embargo estoy más de acuerdo con el tuitero Hidden Amurak que nos dice que “TODO queda claro cuando uno se da cuenta de que Egipto se convirtió en Grecia, y Grecia en Roma, Roma en Inglaterra e Inglaterra en los Estados Unidos”. No es ningún secreto que los Padres Fundadores Masónicos diseñaron y construyeron Estados Unidos herméticamente. Por ejemplo la ceremonia conocida como el Día de la Inauguración Presidencial ocurre cada cuatro años el 20 de enero (o 21 de enero si el 20 cae en domingo) en el edificio del Capitolio de EE. UU. en Washington D.C frente al obelisco. Tenemos una hierogamia simbólica en el balcón del Capitolio de los EE. UU., que simboliza el vientre siempre embarazado de Isis, frente al Monumento a Washington, el falo erecto de Osiris, con una vesica piscis cual vientre de Isis fertilizado a sus pies. “Un nuevo presidente masónico ha nacido”. Este mismo tuitero nos cuenta de donde proviene que la mayor festividad del último Imperio caiga justamente un dia 4 de julio. “Decir que la Estrella Sirio, la Estrella Ardiente de la Masonería, es importante para las Órdenes Herméticas sería quedarse corto. La Estrella del Perro es el foco central de la religión y las enseñanzas del Antiguo Egipto. Sirio es un sistema estelar triple, astronómicamente, la base de todo el sistema religioso egipcio y, posteriormente, dogón. Los Movimientos Celestes determinaron el Calendario. Su salida heliaca (y la inundación del Nilo) marcó el comienzo del Año Nuevo egipcio. Hasta 35 días antes y 35 días después de que nuestro sol esté en conjunción con la estrella Sirio, aprox. 4 de julio, queda oculto por el resplandor del sol. El 4 de julio es aprox. el Afelio Solar. El Afelio Solar es el punto de la órbita de la Tierra que está más alejado del Sol Y el Sol está en Conjunción con SIRIO, nuestro Sol Espiritual, la Estrella Ardiente de la Masonería. Los egipcios se negaron a enterrar a sus muertos durante los 70 días que Sirio estuvo oculto a la vista porque se creía que Sirio era la puerta al más allá, una puerta a la Duat y cuando Nuestro Sol Físico estaba en conjunción con nuestro Sol Espiritual (Sirio), se creía que era la puerta. estuvo cerrado durante este período anual de 70 días. Los egipcios creían que Sirio era el lugar al que irían las almas de los muertos después de abandonar la tierra, la Duat. Muchas culturas antiguas creían que había otras formas de vida en Sirio que harían contacto con la tierra para ofrecer conocimiento e inteligencia para hacer avanzar a la raza humana.” Es por esto que los Padres Fundadores decidieron vincular el Nacimiento y el Destino de los Estados Unidos a Sirio porque se pensó que esto traería gran prosperidad a la joven nación como lo hacia con Egipto en la antigüedad dado que la aparición de Sirio conocida como la Estrella de Isis o la Estrella del Nilo, marcaba con la inundación anual del Nilo la prosperidad de la que dependían los egipcios para la agricultura. Junto a la Luna y al Sol, en la francmasonería Sirio es el símbolo más importante. Relacionando a la Luna con Isis y al Sol con Osiris, los masones creen que de las dos fuentes de conocimiento (el bien y el mal, el blanco y el negro, lo femenino y lo masculino) nace el hombre perfecto: Horus, que encuentra su representación con la estrella Sirio. Para los masones Sirio, el Ojo en el Cielo, se relaciona directamente con la liberación personal, a través de la adquisición de conocimiento y de alcanzar la verdad absoluta. Verdad que ocultan tras un velo a los profanos. Vemos una clarísima referencia a las dotes liberadoras de Sirio en la película El Show de Truman cuando este se ve sorprendido por algo que cae del cielo, un foco con una pegatina en la que se puede leer literalmente: «Sirius (Canis Major)». El puntal de Dios en sus tres artículos bajo el apelativo de “los reyes del tiempo” nos viene a contar “la conexión entre el mundo material y el inframundo, el conocido mundo de los vivos con el desconocido más allá de después de la muerte y que recrean en esas historias, del que estamos convencidos que es fundamental para la conducción de voluntades.” Yo también he querido plasmar esa misma conexión en lo que serán tres artículo sobre Daniel Sancho. En el primero titulado DANIEL SANCHO. MUERTE Y RESURRECCIÓN DE OSIRIS EN TRES ACTOS ya adelantaba que serian tres, como son tres las triadas de dioses en todas las culturas del planeta. Los 14 pedazos en que es cortado Osiris han sido vueltos a utilizar en este macabro asesinato. En el segundo, DANIEL SANCHO Y LA RESURRECCIÓN TRAS LA PASCUA, les mostraba las conexiones de la iglesia católica con tradiciones mucho más antiguas como esa hierogamia del Cristo de Mena que nos recuerda a la Inauguración Presidencial con obelisco y vesica piscis del Capitolio norteamericano. También les comente la enorme casualidad que el caso de Daniel Sancho “reviva” justamente tras el eclipse del 8 de abril que para mas casualidad pasara por 7 ciudades llamadas Ninive, el nombre de una antigua ciudad babilónica. En todas las culturas se siguen realizando rituales a estas divinidades del cielo que no son otra cosa que llamativos fenómenos atmosféricos como el eclipse que tuvo lugar este lunes 8 de abril o las danzas erráticas de los planetas. Hoy vamos a hablar de ese manejo del tiempo y sus posibles mecanismos que a la larga les permite a los psicopatas que nos mal gobiernan mantenernos en esta jaula con barrotes de oro. Decía el puntal de Dios: “Los esclavos debemos sentir el aroma de la libertad como si fuera de un uso exótico, «que esté ahí», que creamos poseerla. Tenemos la sensación de sentirla con nosotros. Algunos incluso se atreven a arengar que nos pertenece «por derecho divino» (es ironía, no se espanten). Pero no. La imaginamos cercana y tangible, casi dentro de nosotros, pero tan sólo es una fragancia que nos dejan percibir de manera provisional, llena de elementos que son volátiles. Desaparece todos los días para que volvamos a sentir su perfume al día próximo, al rato después, o a la mañana de la siguiente jornada. Y esa es justo la sensación con la que nos mantienen los señores que mueven nuestros hilos, los llamaremos «titiriteros«. Creer que lo eres, «libre«. Decía el escritor, y anterior esclavo afro-americano, Frederick Douglass, que para mantener contento al esclavo era necesario que no pensara. Que debían de oscurecer su visión moral y mental. Aniquilar su poder de razonar. Los amos de los «animalitos» procuran saber y controlar todo lo que oyen, ven y piensan sus criaturas. En nuestros tiempos esto les resulta muy fácil, nosotros mismos facilitamos esa información, algunos incluso con gusto. El patético «yo no tengo nada que esconder». “ ………………………………………………………………………………………. ¿Alguien me explica por qué en el episodio 5 de la 2a temporada del Ministerio del Tiempo (2016) que trata sobre la gripe Española la puerta por la que llega el virus es la ¡2020!? ¿Casualidad o causalidad? La epidemia empieza en el Ministerio el 25 de febrero del 2016. Y la del covid empezó también oficialmente en España el 25 de febrero del 2020. ¿Casualidad o causalidad? Grabado en 2015, emitido en 2016, serie el Ministerio del Tiempo 2a temporada 5 episodio, gripe Española y ¿cuál es el único número de puerta qué aparece en todo el episodio? ¡Bingo! La 2020. ………………………………………………………………………………………. En marzo de 2020 antes incluso de que todos se volvieran locos con el COVID nosotros realizamos un podcast titulado “UTP86 Coronavirus, Akituatraco a las 8” donde les contábamos como ese ritual de salir al balcón a las 8 no fue para nada casual. Alli les contábamos como de esa manera estabamos celebrando la fiesta de la primavera que muchos pueblos siguen celebrando con pequeñas variaciones pero sin apartarse mucho de la creación original que es el llamado festival babilónico de Akitu o Akitum. Este festival babilónico tradicionalmente comenzaba el 4 de Nisannu, fíjense que el primer mes del calendario judio es el mes llamado Nisán. En dicho mes se celebra la Pésaj (en hebreo es Pascua. Y Pascua significa básicamente "paso" o “salto". Es una festividad judía que conmemora la liberación del pueblo hebreo de la esclavitud de Egipto. Este año la Pésaj o pascua judía comenzará al atardecer del 22 de abril del 2024 y culminará al anochecer del 30 de abril del 2024. Curiosamente el festival de la primavera babilonico se llamaba Akitu o traduciéndolo al castellano como el corte de cebada…como ven la cebada es muy importante…por cierto, la cerveza siempre fue un invento hebreo por si no lo sabían. “Para el almacenaje de alcohol durante la Edad Media no era utilizada una estrella roja, sino que los cerveceros bajomedievales centro y noreuropeos usaban la estrella de David. Si se busca información e imágenes sobre "Bierstern" (beer star) o "Brauerstern" (brewer's star), pronto aparece la verdadera forma de dicha estrella. La utilización del Magen David -el escudo de David, el hexagrama- como símbolo de pureza, proviene del volumen fundacional de la tradición cabalística, el Zohar, posiblemente escrito en algún punto del siglo XIII por un judío de Guadalajara, Moisés de León. El barrio judío de Praga ya utilizaba la estrella de David como emblema desde al menos el 1500 d.C., pero se han encontrado barriles de cerveza e ilustraciones de los mismos anteriores a esa fecha que llevan la marca.” Wayne B. Chandler nos dice: “Fue el anciano Egipto donde la estrella de seis picos residió en su completo esplendor. Proclamada como la Estrella de la Creación por los egipcios, esta representaba la unión entre el macho y la hembra energía en naturaleza y en todos los planos de la existencia; pero es también proclamada [en Egipto] como el símbolo la Ley Hermética de la Correspondencia. El triangulo apuntando hacia arriba indica el macrocosmos y el triangulo apuntado hacia abajo indica el microcosmos; dos formas idénticas enclavadas pero independientes, cada parte representando un todo” La estrella de 6 puntas mucho antes de ser conocida como estrella del rey David era llamada la estrella de los magos y como hemos podido comprobar los judíos se llevaron este conocimiento tras su paso por Egipto. No se crean que se colgaba una estrella de 6 puntas por colgar encima de un barril para que fermentase, esto entronca con dioses como Baco o Dioniso y evidentemente estaríamos hablando de posesiones por entidades…lo que la ciencia en la actualidad simplemente cataloga de daños etílicos en el cerebelo. Pero no es del gusto etílico de lo que quiero hablarles si no de como durante el encierro del Covid practicamos obedientemente y sin saberlo ese festival babilónico del Akitu o Akitum. Ese año de cambios trascendentales, el 2020, en la gran mutación, en la toma del poder por supuestamente otra facción el celebrar este ritual que como les dije antes significa paso o salto. Y es que verdaderamente vamos a pasar de la sociedad 3.0 a la 4.0. Del capitalismo tradicional al nuevo capitalismo donde solo unos pocos serán verdaderamente productivos y el resto se mantendrán solo como meros consumidores resignados a comer las migajas que le sobre al resto. Como dice nuestro amigo Peter House: “En el calendario hebreo el 14 de Nisán comienza en la noche de luna llena después del equinoccio vernal que en el actual 2020 empezará en la tarde del 8 abril (la tercera superluna) y acabará en la tarde del jueves 16 de abril. Es una festividad judía que conmemora la liberación del pueblo hebreo de la esclavitud de Egipto y que también recibe el nombre de ‘Fiesta de la Primavera’, ya que marca el inicio de dicha estación. Las regulaciones bíblicas relativas a la primera vez que la festividad fuera observada, es decir en el momento del Éxodo de Egipto, incluyen instrucciones sobre cómo la comida deberá consumirse: "ceñidos vuestros lomos, vuestro calzado en vuestros pies, y vuestro bastón en vuestra mano; y lo comeréis apresuradamente. Es la Pascua del señor” (Exodo 12:11).” Esto suena un poco a los cordones que ciñen las túnicas de los cofrades de Semana Santa y recordemos que el color de la Pascua, el color liturgico es el morado. Y el morado es la unión del color rojo, hombre y del color azul o mujer. Estamos ante un hexagrama. “En alquimia, los dos triángulos representan la reconciliación de los opuestos de fuego y agua. La Kabbalah no judía (también llamada Kabbalah cristiana o hermética) interpreta que el hexagrama significa la unión divina de la energía masculina y femenina, donde el macho está representado por el triángulo superior (denominado la "cuchilla") y la hembra por la inferior uno (referido como el "cáliz"). “ ¿Y por qué nos hicieron salir a aplaudir a las 8 y no a otra hora? El 8 es muy importante para la adoración de Ishtar la diosa babilónica del amor y la belleza, de la vida, de la fertilidad o sea de la primavera. Se la asocia al planeta Venus, estrella de la mañana y del anochecer. Su símbolo es una estrella de ocho puntas. En su honor, los astrónomos han llamado Ishtar Terra a un continente de Venus. Ištar no es una diosa del matrimonio, ni es una diosa madre. El matrimonio sagrado o la sacra hierogamia, que se representaba todos los años en el templo babilónico, no tiene un implicación moral ni es modelo de matrimonios terrestres, es un rito de fertilidad altamente estilizado con tonos litúrgicos. …………………………………………… ¿Se acuerdan que este ultimo eclipse pasó por siete ciudades llamadas Ninive en Estados Unidos? Nínive fue la capital y ciudad más grande del Imperio neoasirio, llegó a ser la más grande del mundo durante aproximadamente cincuenta años hasta el año 612 a. C. Allí se celebraba el Akitu babilónico, uno de los primeros rituales del tiempo conocidos. El festival babilónico tradicionalmente comenzó el 4 de Nisannu. Todas las personas en la ciudad la celebrarían, incluyendo el awilu (clase alta), muskena (clase media), wardu (clase baja), el sumo sacerdote y el rey. Primero al tercer día El sacerdote de Ésagila(La casa de Marduk) recitaba oraciones tristes con los otros sacerdotes y la gente respondía con oraciones igualmente tristes que expresaban el temor de la humanidad a lo desconocido. Este miedo a lo desconocido explica por qué el sumo sacerdote se dirigía a la Ésagila todos los días pidiendo el perdón de Marduk, rogándole que protegiera a Babilonia, su ciudad santa, y pidiéndole que le favoreciera. Esta oración se llamó "El secreto de Ésagila". Dice lo siguiente: "Señor sin igual en tu ira, Señor, rey misericordioso, señor de las tierras, que hizo la salvación de los grandes dioses, Señor, que derribó a los fuertes con su mirada, Señor de reyes, luz de los hombres, que repartes destinos, oh Señor, Babilonia es tu asiento, Borsippa tu corona Los anchos cielos son tu cuerpo ... Dentro de tus brazos tomas a los fuertes ... Con tu mirada les concedes gracia, haz que vean la luz para que proclamen tu poder. Señor de las tierras, luz de los Igigi, que anuncia las bendiciones; ¿Quién no proclamaría tu, sí, tu poder? ¿No hablarías de tu majestad, alabarás tu dominio? Señor de las tierras, que vive en Eudul, que toma a los caídos de la mano; Ten piedad de tu ciudad, Babilonia. Vuelve tu rostro hacia Esagila, tu templo. ¡Da libertad a los que habitan en Babilonia, tus barrios! Al tercer día, artesanos especiales crearían dos títeres hechos de madera, oro y piedras preciosas y los vestirían de rojo. Estas marionetas se dejaron de lado y se utilizarían en el sexto día. Cuarto día Se seguirían los mismos rituales que en los tres días anteriores. Antes del amanecer, los sacerdotes buscaron el grupo sagrado de estrellas IKU ( "Campo" ). Durante el día se recitaría la Epopeya de la Creación, Enuma Elish . El Enuma Elish es probablemente la historia más antigua sobre el nacimiento de los dioses y la creación del universo y los seres humanos. Luego explica cómo todos los dioses se unieron en el dios Marduk, después de su victoria sobre Tiamat. La recitación de esta epopeya se consideró el comienzo de los preparativos para la sumisión del Rey de Babilonia ante Marduk en el quinto día de Akitu. Durante la noche se realizó un drama que elogió a Marduk también. Quinto día La sumisión del rey de Babilonia ante Marduk. El rey entraría a la Esagila acompañado por los sacerdotes, se acercarían todos juntos al altar donde el sumo sacerdote de la Esagila se hace pasar por Marduk, luego se acerca al rey, comienza a despojarlo de sus joyas, cetro e incluso su corona y luego abofetea fuerte mientras se arrodilla en el altar y comienza a orar pidiendo el perdón de Marduk y se somete a él diciendo: "No he pecado, oh Señor del universo, y no he descuidado tu poder celestial en absoluto" ... Entonces el sacerdote en el papel de Marduk dice: "No tengas miedo de lo que Marduk tiene que decir, porque él escuchará tus oraciones, extenderá tu poder y aumentará la grandeza de tu reinado". La eliminación de todas las posesiones mundanas es un símbolo de la sumisión que el rey le da a Marduk. Después de esto, el rey se levantaría y el sacerdote le devolvería sus joyas, su cetro y su corona y luego lo abofetearía con la esperanza de que el rey derramara lágrimas, porque eso expresaría más la sumisión a Marduk y el respeto a su poder. Cuando el sacerdote devuelve la corona al rey, eso significa que Marduk renovó su poder, por lo que abril se consideraría no solo el renacimiento de la naturaleza y la vida, sino también del Estado. Por lo tanto, estas ceremonias harían que las personalidades más grandes y temidas de la época se sometieran al dios más grande y vivieran un momento de humildad con toda la población, compartiendo oraciones para demostrar su fe ante el poder de Dios. Tras su presencia en su hogar terrenal, Babilonia, y renovando el poder de su rey, el dios Marduk se queda en el Etemenanki (un zigurat o torre compuesta de siete pisos, conocida en elTorá como la Torre de Babilonia) donde estaba la vivienda de Marduk o en el templo de Esagila (en la Torá Dios moraría en una "montaña" Salmos 74: 2). Durante este día, según la tradición de Akitu, Marduk entraría en su vivienda y se sorprendería de los dioses malvados que lucharían contra él, luego Tiamat, el monstruo del caos y la diosa del océano, lo tomará prisionero y esperará la llegada de su hijo. Dios Nabu quien lo salvaría de "Nada" y le devolvería la gloria. Aqui debemos acordarnos que todo el melón del rey emérito se abrió para esas fechas, apareciendo las fundaciones Zagatka y Lucum bajo sospecha en Suiza relacionadas con el Rey emérito. Sexto día Antes de que llegaran los dioses, el día estaría lleno de conmoción. Las marionetas que se hicieron el tercer día se quemarían y también se realizarían simulacros de batalla. Esta conmoción significaba que sin Marduk, la ciudad estaría en constante caos. La llegada de Dios Nabu en botes acompañados por sus asistentes de valientes dioses que vienen de Nippur , Uruk , Kishy Eridu (ciudades de la antigua Babilonia). Los dioses que acompañaban a Nabu estarían representados por estatuas que se montarían en botes hechos especialmente para la ocasión. Aquí, la gran cantidad de personas comenzaría a caminar detrás de su rey hacia la Esagila, donde Marduk es prisionero, cantando lo siguiente: "Aquí está el que viene de lejos para restaurar la gloria de nuestro padre encarcelado". Séptimo día Al tercer día de su encarcelamiento, Nabu libera a Marduk. Los dioses malvados habían cerrado una gran puerta detrás de él cuando entró en su vivienda. Marduk estaría peleando hasta la llegada de Nabu, cuando irrumpiría en la gran puerta y una batalla continuaría entre los dos grupos, hasta que Nabu salga victorioso y libere a Marduk. Octavo día Cuando Marduk es liberado, las estatuas de los dioses se reúnen en el Salón de los Destinos "Ubshu-Ukkina", para deliberar sobre su destino, allí se decide unir todas las fuerzas de los dioses y otorgarlas a Marduk. Aquí, el rey implora a todos los dioses que apoyen y honren a Marduk, y esta tradición era una indicación de que Marduk recibió la sumisión de todos los dioses y era único en su posición. Noveno día La procesión de la victoria a la "Casa de Akitu", donde se celebra la victoria de Marduk al comienzo de la Creación sobre el dragón Tiamat (diosa de las aguas inferiores). La Casa de Akitu, que los asirios de Nínive llamaron "Bet Ekribi" ("Casa de Oraciones" en idioma asirio antiguo), estaba a unos 200 metros de las murallas de la ciudad, donde había árboles maravillosos decorados y regados cuidadosamente por respeto al dios quien ha considerado el que le otorga vida a la naturaleza. La procesión de la victoria fue la forma en que la población expresó su alegría por la renovación del poder de Marduk (Ashur) y la destrucción de las fuerzas del mal que casi controlaban la vida al principio. Décimo día Al llegar a "Bet Akitu", el dios Marduk comienza a celebrar con los dioses del mundo superior e inferior (las estatuas de los dioses estaban dispuestas alrededor de una mesa enorme, como en una fiesta), luego Marduk regresa a la ciudad por la noche para celebrar su matrimonio con la diosa "Ishtar", donde la tierra y el cielo están unidos, y como los dioses se unen, así se organiza esta unión en la tierra. Así, el rey personifica esta unión jugando el papel de casarse con la más alta sacerdotisa de la Esagila donde ambos se sentarían en el trono ante la población y recitarían poemas especiales para la ocasión. Este amor dará vida en primavera. Undécimo día Los dioses regresan acompañados por su Lord Marduk para encontrarse nuevamente en el Salón de los Destinos "Upshu Ukkina", donde se encontraron por primera vez el octavo día, esta vez decidirán el destino de la gente de Marduk. En la antigua filosofía asiria, la creación en general se consideraba como un pacto entre el cielo y la tierra siempre que un humano sirviera a los dioses hasta su muerte, por lo tanto, la felicidad de los dioses no está completa, excepto si los humanos también son felices, por lo tanto, el destino de un humano ser dado felicidad con la condición de que sirva a los dioses. Entonces Marduk y los dioses renuevan su alianza con Babilonia, prometiéndole a la ciudad otro ciclo de estaciones. Después de que se decide el destino de la humanidad, Marduk regresa a los cielos. Duodécimo día El último día de Akitu. Los dioses regresan al templo de Marduk (las estatuas se devuelven al templo) y la vida diaria se reanuda en Babilonia, Nínive y el resto de las ciudades asirias. La gente comienza a arar y prepararse para otro ciclo de estaciones. ………………………………………………………………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Voy a utilizar algunos tuits miss y de el puntal de Dios comentando las jugadas que hacen los políticos en España para que vean como se las gastan con el tema del control del tiempo. Desde aquel "atropellamiento masivo de las Ramblas" ejecutado por el recurrente yihadismo donde se aceleraron los acontecimientos en el "procés" catalán. A los 9 meses justos y a las 11 y 33 horas se ritualizó el nombramiento del 131 president. Justo el 17/5/18 se cumplían los 9 meses del atentado de las Ramblas de Barcelona del 17/8/17. Como si de un embarazo se tratara se "transmutó" un 'rey cobarde' en TORRA a las 11:33 horas. Ritual para el 131 president de la Generalitat en la sala de la VIRGEN NEGRA. El 132 president, Pere Aragonés, fue investido 1100 días (1++1+0+0=11) después de la toma de posesión del 131. ¿parece un engranaje numérico, no creen? Tan sólo 15 días después, como si de una Luna Nueva se pasase a su fase plena, Pedro, el Indestructible, tomaba el cielo del Gobierno de España por asalto (casualidades de la vida) a las 11 y 33 horas del 1 de Junio del 2018. ¿Y Pedro, el Indestructible, utilizará la numerología para "hacer magia" en unas elecciones que tenía perdidas a ojos del profano? En el 5º aniversario de su "asalto al Congreso", con la connivencia de Mariano Rajoy, convoca elecciones generales a 55 días vista. Conforme al punto 177.4 del reglamento del Congreso de los Diputados hubo que iniciar la votación si o si a las 11 de la mañana. Bueno a las 11 y 1 minuto que es más resultón. ¿Se acuerdan de la turra que dieron con aplicar el articulo 155 de la Constitución? ¿Y en qué puesto voto el Sr Rajoy? Pues en el ¡¡¡155!!! ¿Cuál si no? ¿Hay una especie de hermandad que tiene una especial fijación con un juramento en las "sagradas escrituras" que mencionen ese 133? Hace unos años señalamos esa pista y todos esos caminos conducen a esos templos fraternales discretos. Leo textualmente lo que los propios masones dicen sobre el salmo 133 de la Biblia: “Uno de los temas más llamativos para quien ingresa a una logia masónica por primera vez, es sin duda la lectura del salmo 133 antes del inicio de los trabajos masónicos. Pero ¿es así en todos los rituales del mundo? ¿existen otros pasajes bíblicos que se lean en el primer grado? ¿qué significa el salmo 133 en la masonería? Un dato interesante que vale la pena señalar respecto del salmo 133 es que forma parte del último libro de salmos. Además, en la tradición judía, es uno de los 73 salmos a los que se les atribuye como autor al Rey David, padre de Salomón, rey edificador del primer templo. Dentro de la tradición masónica, el salmo 133 ha sido identificado como el salmo que más se acerca a los ideales de la institución.” ¿Por qué el "brujo" Puigdemont lanza un órdago de todo o nada a 33 días de las elecciones? El 12 de Mayo en año bisiesto es el día 133 en curso. Él mismo fue el 130 president y aspira a ser el 133¿Será un patrón "numerológico" qué enlace con otros sucesos ceremoniales anteriores? ………………………………………………………………………………………. simbologia, un texto de PeterHouse Pro Cuando escribí sobre la relación entre la cuaresma, la pascua judía y el Akitu no pensé que se hablaría del tema y por no alargar mucho el escrito no profundicé mucho en el paralelismo de lo que vivimos hoy en España y los rituales mesopotámicos. El conocimiento de estos rituales ha sido transmitido entre la élite y son la base de la ingeniería social que sufrimos hoy. Cada cultura o civilización que los ha ido adoptando le ha introducido o eliminado elementos a conveniencia y así sucesivamente hasta nuestros días. La parte superficial de estos rituales mágicos ha cambiado pero no la esencia y su utilidad. En la naturaleza existen ciclos, así como a la psique humana le cuesta identificar patrones exponenciales y evidentemente recrearlos con el pensamiento también le cuesta identificar esos ciclos naturales. Hoy en día todo el mundo conoce el ciclo anual que llamamos estaciones del año, pero no siempre fue así, hubo un tiempo, cuando este y otros ciclos empezaban a ser identificados por las mentes más inquietas en que el conocimiento en torno a estos cálculos estaba velado para el común de los mortales. Al tiempo que la élite ha profundizado en el conocimiento de todo tipo de ciclos los ha sabido identificar en la naturaleza cada vez más y día a día ha ido sacando provecho de su control. Esto se puede observar en todo tipo de campos, desde algo tan físico y cuantificable como la mecánica de movimiento armónico hasta algo tan ancestral como la agricultura. Así como el ingeniero sabe cómo aprovechar el movimiento armónico para emplear la menor energía posible (el péndulo es símbolo de esto), el agricultor sabe cómo sacar el máximo provecho de su cosecha y estos conocimientos son el cúmulo de miles de años de conocimiento transmitido de generación en generación. Estos conocimientos son guardados celosamente durante mucho tiempo y conforme la élite es capaz de alcanzar niveles nuevos de sabiduría el pueblo llano va teniendo, poco a poco, acceso a los conocimientos ya obsoletos para el Poder, como si de algo novedoso se tratara. Esto le sirve para tener una sociedad lo suficientemente productiva pero lo suficientemente limitada. Esto, que es fácil de identificar en la agricultura se puede aplicar a absolutamente a todo lo que tiene que ver con el conocimiento, cualquier rama de cualquier ciencia. El Poder aplica a la gran la masa de seres humanos que controla el mismo tratamiento que da a las diferentes masas que ha aprendido a gestionar, por ejemplo la economía. Es decir, a la tierra, a la gente y al dinero se los somete a ciclos que los hacen producir más y mejor, podando o poniendo en barbecho según dicte el conocimiento de los ciclos naturales. La expresión ‘año sabático’, en hebreo ‘Shmitá’ proviene del séptimo año del ciclo agrícola de siete años ordenado por la Torá para la Tierra de Israel, observado aún en el judaísmo actual. Durante la shmitá la ley judía prohíbe toda actividad agrícola, incluyendo arar, plantar, podar y cosechar. Una variedad de leyes también se aplican a la venta, consumo y disposición de productos y todas las deudas, excepto las de los extranjeros, que debían ser remitidas. El Capítulo 25 del Libro de Levítico promete abundantes cosechas a quienes observan la shmitá, esto es algo que se aprecia en cómo la élite maneja la economía; el 29 de septiembre de 2008 el índice Dow Jones Industrial caía 777,7 (77,68) puntos, un 7%, la mayor de su historia en puntos, la segunda mayor caída anterior fue el 1 de septiembre de 2001, un 7,13%; ambas caídas ocurrieron un 29 de Elul, fecha que marca el fin del Shmita y día en que en el judaísmo se hace una ceremonia de “substitución” para celebrar el fin de las deudas durante el Rosh Hashaná. Es una perfecta ingeniería social porque, como el barbecho debe hacerse para darle a la tierra un ciclo sostenible, introducir la shmitá en una sociedad agrícola genera una sociedad de excedentes, se promueve el ahorro y la banca y se evita el sobre-endeudamiento, el año de descanso agrícola le da al país cierto paro pero incrementa el comercio internacional, la población flotante de pobres se mantiene y la élite de esa sociedad probablemente terminará convirtiéndose en acreedora internacional. De hecho, solamente ha tenido que hacer cumplir las escrituras: Deuteronomio 15:1-6 “Al cabo de cada siete años harás remisión de deudas. Así se hará la remisión: todo acreedor hará remisión de lo que haya prestado a su prójimo; no lo exigirá de su prójimo ni de su hermano, porque se ha proclamado la remisión del Señor. De un extranjero lo puedes exigir, pero tu mano perdonará cualquier cosa tuya que tu hermano tenga. Sin embargo, no habrá menesteroso entre ustedes, ya que el Señor de cierto te bendecirá en la tierra que el Señor tu Dios te da por heredad para poseerla, si solo escuchas fielmente la voz del Señor tu Dios, para guardar cuidadosamente todo este mandamiento que te ordeno hoy. Pues el Señor tu Dios te bendecirá como te ha prometido, y tú prestarás a muchas naciones, pero tú no tomarás prestado; y tendrás dominio sobre muchas naciones, pero ellas no tendrán dominio sobre ti.” Hoy en día, tras la destrucción de las entre comillas “columnas gemelas” y la construcción del One World Trade Center, el concepto de Israel se ha expandido a todo el mundo globalizado y se le aplica a la sociedad mundial esta misma magia, la maldición del 9 de Av que hemos conocido de manos de Aingeru García es una de estas podas que se le hace a la masa de gente como control eugenésico. No hay que esperar el nacimiento de ninguna vaca roja ni la construcción de un tercer templo, ése templo es el planeta entero y ahora que la comunidad es global esa magia se aplica de muchas formas pero son identificables porque la élite, por un motivo u otro (algo que deberá abordarse) está sujeta a los ritos y estos, al estar relacionados con los astros y por lo tanto con los números, pueden ser descubiertos. «El tiempo saca a la luz todo lo que está oculto y encubre y esconde lo que ahora brilla con el más grande esplendor.» Horacio. Siglo I antes de Cristo. El mal vende. Y vende bien. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Invitados: …. Dra Yane #JusticiaParaUTP @ayec98_2 Médico y Buscadora de la verdad. Con Dios siempre!

Sean bienvenidos a un nuevo directo desde Twitter, estamos ya en el UTP291 a solo 9 de celebrar nuestro programa 300. Como oirán en el breve flash previo al programa necesitamos que nos envíen audios de menos de un minuto para felicitarnos, criticarnos o simplemente comentar alguna cosa para que los publiquemos en el programa 300. Aunque no somos muchos sí podemos presumir de tener una audiencia bastante fiel en Buscadores de la Verdad y estaremos encantados de escucharles en ese programa especial. Hemos hablado de muchos temas diferentes durante la nueva etapa en solitario desde que abandoné Canal Zero. Podríamos decir que el primer programa con el sello de UTP podría ser el UTP33 La bomba nuclear que quiso fabricar Franco de julio del 2017. Desde entonces son 258 programas en estos casi siete años, o lo que es lo mismo, un programa cada 9 días. Casi uno a la semana. No ha resultado fácil compaginar la vida familiar y laboral para obtener el tiempo necesario de investigación, lectura y desarrollo de estos casi 260 programas. Y hemos hablado largo y tendido de múltiples temas que pensamos habrán sido de su interés. Hoy tocaremos un tema que creo que no hemos desarrollado nunca y es el de como las élites psicopatocraticas que están en el poder están ejecutando los mismos rituales que se realizaban por ejemplo en el antiguo Egipto. De vez en cuando llega a la opinión pública alguna pincelada como por ejemplo el lanzamiento de esos tres cohetes por parte de la NASA con el nombre de Apep. Apofis, o Apep, representaba en la mitología egipcia a las fuerzas maléficas que habitan el Duat y a las tinieblas. En la wikipedia podemos leer: “Es una serpiente gigantesca, inmortal y poderosa, cuya función consistía en interrumpir el recorrido nocturno de la barca solar conducida por Ra y defendida por Seth, para evitar que consiguiera alcanzar el nuevo día. Para ello empleaba varios métodos: atacaba la barca directamente o culebreaba para provocar bancos de arena donde el navío encallara. Todo ello tenía sólo una finalidad: romper la Maat, el «orden cósmico». Apofis representa el mal, con el que había que luchar para contenerlo; sin embargo, nunca sería aniquilada, solo era dañada o sometida, ya que de otro modo el ciclo solar no podría llevarse a cabo diariamente y el mundo perecería. Para los antiguos egipcios era necesario que existiese el concepto del mal para que el bien fuera posible. Los egipcios creían que, cuando el cielo se teñía de rojo, era a causa de las heridas provocadas a Apofis. También, interpretaron que los eclipses eran obra suya, en la lucha en la Duat.” La vimos en acción en la película del 2016 Dioses de Egipto donde nos describían como reales los mitos egipcios. Y es que cuando produjeron esa película allá por 2016 había otra superproducción de la misma temática que nunca vio la luz, Anunnaki de Jon Gress. Se rumoreo que dejaba demasiado claro como las élites siguen rindiendo culto a estas deidades antiguas. El director de Dioses de Egipto tiene una filmografía envidiable con películas como El cuervo, Dark City, Yo, robot o Señales del futuro y el mismo se ha quejado de que “la dictadura de lo poco original y lo políticamente correcto mató a sus Dioses de Egipto”. El director que es egipcio tuvo que pedir disculpas por la falta de diversidad racial en el reparto y el film fue tan duramente criticado que este magnífico director ya no ha vuelto a rodar. La película con un presupuesto de 140 millones de dólares fue duramente criticada y le costo muchos años llegar a recuperar dicha inversión. Parece que mostró más de lo que debía mostrar y por eso fue castigada. De la otra superproducción que se estaba realizando a la vez ya nunca se supo nada y ahora ni siquiera encontramos restos en internet salvo en páginas de conspiración. El director de Dioses de Egipto nos habla de uno de sus proyectos inacabados: “En una situación en particular estuve trabajando en un proyecto llamado 'Paradise Lost', y estuvimos en ella durante dos años. El estudio gastó 25 millones de dólares, pero lo cancelaron y dijeron: "no vamos a hacerla". Dijeron que era el presupuesto, pero no creo que fuera eso, era demasiado... Ya sabes cómo es el poema de John Milton, tienes a Lucifer transformándose en un santo... Fue considerado blasfemia cuando se escribió en el siglo XVII y todavía parece como algo que enfadaría bastante.” El cine siempre nos mostró el verdadero rostro del poder y los recovecos mas oscuros de éste, aunque muchas veces lo hiciese de una forma ininteligible para el común de los mortales. Esto lo vimos al analizar películas como Eyes wide Shut, El destino de Júpiter o Blade Runner, todas ellas diseccionadas en nuestros Videos Es Clave. Una y otra vez vemos como utilizan fechas clave o nombres mitológicos desde la ciencia más rancia como la NASA, dónde en una burla infinita nos contó que solo podia sacar 33 tornillos de los 35 de la cápsula OSIRIS-REX que envió recientemente a tomar muestras a un asteroide. Un Tuitero y escritor llamado Hidden Amuraka nos cuenta como Estados Unidos es “la última encarnación del Antiguo Egipto y los sistemas más antiguos se construyeron sobre el propio Egipto”. En Breve historia del futuro Jacques Attali nos habla de lo que el llama corazones del imperio y como se van desplazando por el mundo según van apareciendo innovaciones técnicas capitales como el timón de codaste, la máquina de vapor, el motor de explosión y por último la electricidad. Es curioso como el señor Attali no asigna ninguno de esos corazones del imperio en España, que fue un gran imperio durante varios siglos. Si leemos los artículos del puntal de Dios en mi blog y más concretamente el que va a publicar LA LEYENDA DE LAS ESTRELLAS ERRANTES Y LOS REYES DEL TIEMPO (PARTE III) veremos cómo España estaba en la pomada con los reyes imperiales Carlos V y Felipe II. Attali no nombra a los imperios clásicos babilónico, sumerio, egipcio, griego o romano y sin embargo si nos habla de Brujas, Venecia, Amberes, Génova, Amsterdam, Londres, Boston, Nueva York y por ultimo Los Angeles. También nos habla de la última transformación hacia una sociedad nómada que ya no tiene un punto definido en la Tierra desde donde ejercer su poder ya que los objetos nómadas le otorgan ese poder esté donde esté. El poder actual radica en los objetos que utilizan cosas aparentemente intangibles…por ejemplo estoy escribiendo esta entradilla con un ordenador Mac llamado aire. Yo, sin embargo estoy más de acuerdo con el tuitero Hidden Amurak que nos dice que “TODO queda claro cuando uno se da cuenta de que Egipto se convirtió en Grecia, y Grecia en Roma, Roma en Inglaterra e Inglaterra en los Estados Unidos”. No es ningún secreto que los Padres Fundadores Masónicos diseñaron y construyeron Estados Unidos herméticamente. Por ejemplo la ceremonia conocida como el Día de la Inauguración Presidencial ocurre cada cuatro años el 20 de enero (o 21 de enero si el 20 cae en domingo) en el edificio del Capitolio de EE. UU. en Washington D.C frente al obelisco. Tenemos una hierogamia simbólica en el balcón del Capitolio de los EE. UU., que simboliza el vientre siempre embarazado de Isis, frente al Monumento a Washington, el falo erecto de Osiris, con una vesica piscis cual vientre de Isis fertilizado a sus pies. “Un nuevo presidente masónico ha nacido”. Este mismo tuitero nos cuenta de donde proviene que la mayor festividad del último Imperio caiga justamente un dia 4 de julio. “Decir que la Estrella Sirio, la Estrella Ardiente de la Masonería, es importante para las Órdenes Herméticas sería quedarse corto. La Estrella del Perro es el foco central de la religión y las enseñanzas del Antiguo Egipto. Sirio es un sistema estelar triple, astronómicamente, la base de todo el sistema religioso egipcio y, posteriormente, dogón. Los Movimientos Celestes determinaron el Calendario. Su salida heliaca (y la inundación del Nilo) marcó el comienzo del Año Nuevo egipcio. Hasta 35 días antes y 35 días después de que nuestro sol esté en conjunción con la estrella Sirio, aprox. 4 de julio, queda oculto por el resplandor del sol. El 4 de julio es aprox. el Afelio Solar. El Afelio Solar es el punto de la órbita de la Tierra que está más alejado del Sol Y el Sol está en Conjunción con SIRIO, nuestro Sol Espiritual, la Estrella Ardiente de la Masonería. Los egipcios se negaron a enterrar a sus muertos durante los 70 días que Sirio estuvo oculto a la vista porque se creía que Sirio era la puerta al más allá, una puerta a la Duat y cuando Nuestro Sol Físico estaba en conjunción con nuestro Sol Espiritual (Sirio), se creía que era la puerta. estuvo cerrado durante este período anual de 70 días. Los egipcios creían que Sirio era el lugar al que irían las almas de los muertos después de abandonar la tierra, la Duat. Muchas culturas antiguas creían que había otras formas de vida en Sirio que harían contacto con la tierra para ofrecer conocimiento e inteligencia para hacer avanzar a la raza humana.” Es por esto que los Padres Fundadores decidieron vincular el Nacimiento y el Destino de los Estados Unidos a Sirio porque se pensó que esto traería gran prosperidad a la joven nación como lo hacia con Egipto en la antigüedad dado que la aparición de Sirio conocida como la Estrella de Isis o la Estrella del Nilo, marcaba con la inundación anual del Nilo la prosperidad de la que dependían los egipcios para la agricultura. Junto a la Luna y al Sol, en la francmasonería Sirio es el símbolo más importante. Relacionando a la Luna con Isis y al Sol con Osiris, los masones creen que de las dos fuentes de conocimiento (el bien y el mal, el blanco y el negro, lo femenino y lo masculino) nace el hombre perfecto: Horus, que encuentra su representación con la estrella Sirio. Para los masones Sirio, el Ojo en el Cielo, se relaciona directamente con la liberación personal, a través de la adquisición de conocimiento y de alcanzar la verdad absoluta. Verdad que ocultan tras un velo a los profanos. Vemos una clarísima referencia a las dotes liberadoras de Sirio en la película El Show de Truman cuando este se ve sorprendido por algo que cae del cielo, un foco con una pegatina en la que se puede leer literalmente: «Sirius (Canis Major)». El puntal de Dios en sus tres artículos bajo el apelativo de “los reyes del tiempo” nos viene a contar “la conexión entre el mundo material y el inframundo, el conocido mundo de los vivos con el desconocido más allá de después de la muerte y que recrean en esas historias, del que estamos convencidos que es fundamental para la conducción de voluntades.” Yo también he querido plasmar esa misma conexión en lo que serán tres artículo sobre Daniel Sancho. En el primero titulado DANIEL SANCHO. MUERTE Y RESURRECCIÓN DE OSIRIS EN TRES ACTOS ya adelantaba que serian tres, como son tres las triadas de dioses en todas las culturas del planeta. Los 14 pedazos en que es cortado Osiris han sido vueltos a utilizar en este macabro asesinato. En el segundo, DANIEL SANCHO Y LA RESURRECCIÓN TRAS LA PASCUA, les mostraba las conexiones de la iglesia católica con tradiciones mucho más antiguas como esa hierogamia del Cristo de Mena que nos recuerda a la Inauguración Presidencial con obelisco y vesica piscis del Capitolio norteamericano. También les comente la enorme casualidad que el caso de Daniel Sancho “reviva” justamente tras el eclipse del 8 de abril que para mas casualidad pasara por 7 ciudades llamadas Ninive, el nombre de una antigua ciudad babilónica. En todas las culturas se siguen realizando rituales a estas divinidades del cielo que no son otra cosa que llamativos fenómenos atmosféricos como el eclipse que tuvo lugar este lunes 8 de abril o las danzas erráticas de los planetas. Hoy vamos a hablar de ese manejo del tiempo y sus posibles mecanismos que a la larga les permite a los psicopatas que nos mal gobiernan mantenernos en esta jaula con barrotes de oro. Decía el puntal de Dios: “Los esclavos debemos sentir el aroma de la libertad como si fuera de un uso exótico, «que esté ahí», que creamos poseerla. Tenemos la sensación de sentirla con nosotros. Algunos incluso se atreven a arengar que nos pertenece «por derecho divino» (es ironía, no se espanten). Pero no. La imaginamos cercana y tangible, casi dentro de nosotros, pero tan sólo es una fragancia que nos dejan percibir de manera provisional, llena de elementos que son volátiles. Desaparece todos los días para que volvamos a sentir su perfume al día próximo, al rato después, o a la mañana de la siguiente jornada. Y esa es justo la sensación con la que nos mantienen los señores que mueven nuestros hilos, los llamaremos «titiriteros«. Creer que lo eres, «libre«. Decía el escritor, y anterior esclavo afro-americano, Frederick Douglass, que para mantener contento al esclavo era necesario que no pensara. Que debían de oscurecer su visión moral y mental. Aniquilar su poder de razonar. Los amos de los «animalitos» procuran saber y controlar todo lo que oyen, ven y piensan sus criaturas. En nuestros tiempos esto les resulta muy fácil, nosotros mismos facilitamos esa información, algunos incluso con gusto. El patético «yo no tengo nada que esconder». “ ………………………………………………………………………………………. ¿Alguien me explica por qué en el episodio 5 de la 2a temporada del Ministerio del Tiempo (2016) que trata sobre la gripe Española la puerta por la que llega el virus es la ¡2020!? ¿Casualidad o causalidad? La epidemia empieza en el Ministerio el 25 de febrero del 2016. Y la del covid empezó también oficialmente en España el 25 de febrero del 2020. ¿Casualidad o causalidad? Grabado en 2015, emitido en 2016, serie el Ministerio del Tiempo 2a temporada 5 episodio, gripe Española y ¿cuál es el único número de puerta qué aparece en todo el episodio? ¡Bingo! La 2020. ………………………………………………………………………………………. En marzo de 2020 antes incluso de que todos se volvieran locos con el COVID nosotros realizamos un podcast titulado “UTP86 Coronavirus, Akituatraco a las 8” donde les contábamos como ese ritual de salir al balcón a las 8 no fue para nada casual. Alli les contábamos como de esa manera estabamos celebrando la fiesta de la primavera que muchos pueblos siguen celebrando con pequeñas variaciones pero sin apartarse mucho de la creación original que es el llamado festival babilónico de Akitu o Akitum. Este festival babilónico tradicionalmente comenzaba el 4 de Nisannu, fíjense que el primer mes del calendario judio es el mes llamado Nisán. En dicho mes se celebra la Pésaj (en hebreo es Pascua. Y Pascua significa básicamente "paso" o “salto". Es una festividad judía que conmemora la liberación del pueblo hebreo de la esclavitud de Egipto. Este año la Pésaj o pascua judía comenzará al atardecer del 22 de abril del 2024 y culminará al anochecer del 30 de abril del 2024. Curiosamente el festival de la primavera babilonico se llamaba Akitu o traduciéndolo al castellano como el corte de cebada…como ven la cebada es muy importante…por cierto, la cerveza siempre fue un invento hebreo por si no lo sabían. “Para el almacenaje de alcohol durante la Edad Media no era utilizada una estrella roja, sino que los cerveceros bajomedievales centro y noreuropeos usaban la estrella de David. Si se busca información e imágenes sobre "Bierstern" (beer star) o "Brauerstern" (brewer's star), pronto aparece la verdadera forma de dicha estrella. La utilización del Magen David -el escudo de David, el hexagrama- como símbolo de pureza, proviene del volumen fundacional de la tradición cabalística, el Zohar, posiblemente escrito en algún punto del siglo XIII por un judío de Guadalajara, Moisés de León. El barrio judío de Praga ya utilizaba la estrella de David como emblema desde al menos el 1500 d.C., pero se han encontrado barriles de cerveza e ilustraciones de los mismos anteriores a esa fecha que llevan la marca.” Wayne B. Chandler nos dice: “Fue el anciano Egipto donde la estrella de seis picos residió en su completo esplendor. Proclamada como la Estrella de la Creación por los egipcios, esta representaba la unión entre el macho y la hembra energía en naturaleza y en todos los planos de la existencia; pero es también proclamada [en Egipto] como el símbolo la Ley Hermética de la Correspondencia. El triangulo apuntando hacia arriba indica el macrocosmos y el triangulo apuntado hacia abajo indica el microcosmos; dos formas idénticas enclavadas pero independientes, cada parte representando un todo” La estrella de 6 puntas mucho antes de ser conocida como estrella del rey David era llamada la estrella de los magos y como hemos podido comprobar los judíos se llevaron este conocimiento tras su paso por Egipto. No se crean que se colgaba una estrella de 6 puntas por colgar encima de un barril para que fermentase, esto entronca con dioses como Baco o Dioniso y evidentemente estaríamos hablando de posesiones por entidades…lo que la ciencia en la actualidad simplemente cataloga de daños etílicos en el cerebelo. Pero no es del gusto etílico de lo que quiero hablarles si no de como durante el encierro del Covid practicamos obedientemente y sin saberlo ese festival babilónico del Akitu o Akitum. Ese año de cambios trascendentales, el 2020, en la gran mutación, en la toma del poder por supuestamente otra facción el celebrar este ritual que como les dije antes significa paso o salto. Y es que verdaderamente vamos a pasar de la sociedad 3.0 a la 4.0. Del capitalismo tradicional al nuevo capitalismo donde solo unos pocos serán verdaderamente productivos y el resto se mantendrán solo como meros consumidores resignados a comer las migajas que le sobre al resto. Como dice nuestro amigo Peter House: “En el calendario hebreo el 14 de Nisán comienza en la noche de luna llena después del equinoccio vernal que en el actual 2020 empezará en la tarde del 8 abril (la tercera superluna) y acabará en la tarde del jueves 16 de abril. Es una festividad judía que conmemora la liberación del pueblo hebreo de la esclavitud de Egipto y que también recibe el nombre de ‘Fiesta de la Primavera’, ya que marca el inicio de dicha estación. Las regulaciones bíblicas relativas a la primera vez que la festividad fuera observada, es decir en el momento del Éxodo de Egipto, incluyen instrucciones sobre cómo la comida deberá consumirse: "ceñidos vuestros lomos, vuestro calzado en vuestros pies, y vuestro bastón en vuestra mano; y lo comeréis apresuradamente. Es la Pascua del señor” (Exodo 12:11).” Esto suena un poco a los cordones que ciñen las túnicas de los cofrades de Semana Santa y recordemos que el color de la Pascua, el color liturgico es el morado. Y el morado es la unión del color rojo, hombre y del color azul o mujer. Estamos ante un hexagrama. “En alquimia, los dos triángulos representan la reconciliación de los opuestos de fuego y agua. La Kabbalah no judía (también llamada Kabbalah cristiana o hermética) interpreta que el hexagrama significa la unión divina de la energía masculina y femenina, donde el macho está representado por el triángulo superior (denominado la "cuchilla") y la hembra por la inferior uno (referido como el "cáliz"). “ ¿Y por qué nos hicieron salir a aplaudir a las 8 y no a otra hora? El 8 es muy importante para la adoración de Ishtar la diosa babilónica del amor y la belleza, de la vida, de la fertilidad o sea de la primavera. Se la asocia al planeta Venus, estrella de la mañana y del anochecer. Su símbolo es una estrella de ocho puntas. En su honor, los astrónomos han llamado Ishtar Terra a un continente de Venus. Ištar no es una diosa del matrimonio, ni es una diosa madre. El matrimonio sagrado o la sacra hierogamia, que se representaba todos los años en el templo babilónico, no tiene un implicación moral ni es modelo de matrimonios terrestres, es un rito de fertilidad altamente estilizado con tonos litúrgicos. …………………………………………… ¿Se acuerdan que este ultimo eclipse pasó por siete ciudades llamadas Ninive en Estados Unidos? Nínive fue la capital y ciudad más grande del Imperio neoasirio, llegó a ser la más grande del mundo durante aproximadamente cincuenta años hasta el año 612 a. C. Allí se celebraba el Akitu babilónico, uno de los primeros rituales del tiempo conocidos. El festival babilónico tradicionalmente comenzó el 4 de Nisannu. Todas las personas en la ciudad la celebrarían, incluyendo el awilu (clase alta), muskena (clase media), wardu (clase baja), el sumo sacerdote y el rey. Primero al tercer día El sacerdote de Ésagila(La casa de Marduk) recitaba oraciones tristes con los otros sacerdotes y la gente respondía con oraciones igualmente tristes que expresaban el temor de la humanidad a lo desconocido. Este miedo a lo desconocido explica por qué el sumo sacerdote se dirigía a la Ésagila todos los días pidiendo el perdón de Marduk, rogándole que protegiera a Babilonia, su ciudad santa, y pidiéndole que le favoreciera. Esta oración se llamó "El secreto de Ésagila". Dice lo siguiente: "Señor sin igual en tu ira, Señor, rey misericordioso, señor de las tierras, que hizo la salvación de los grandes dioses, Señor, que derribó a los fuertes con su mirada, Señor de reyes, luz de los hombres, que repartes destinos, oh Señor, Babilonia es tu asiento, Borsippa tu corona Los anchos cielos son tu cuerpo ... Dentro de tus brazos tomas a los fuertes ... Con tu mirada les concedes gracia, haz que vean la luz para que proclamen tu poder. Señor de las tierras, luz de los Igigi, que anuncia las bendiciones; ¿Quién no proclamaría tu, sí, tu poder? ¿No hablarías de tu majestad, alabarás tu dominio? Señor de las tierras, que vive en Eudul, que toma a los caídos de la mano; Ten piedad de tu ciudad, Babilonia. Vuelve tu rostro hacia Esagila, tu templo. ¡Da libertad a los que habitan en Babilonia, tus barrios! Al tercer día, artesanos especiales crearían dos títeres hechos de madera, oro y piedras preciosas y los vestirían de rojo. Estas marionetas se dejaron de lado y se utilizarían en el sexto día. Cuarto día Se seguirían los mismos rituales que en los tres días anteriores. Antes del amanecer, los sacerdotes buscaron el grupo sagrado de estrellas IKU ( "Campo" ). Durante el día se recitaría la Epopeya de la Creación, Enuma Elish . El Enuma Elish es probablemente la historia más antigua sobre el nacimiento de los dioses y la creación del universo y los seres humanos. Luego explica cómo todos los dioses se unieron en el dios Marduk, después de su victoria sobre Tiamat. La recitación de esta epopeya se consideró el comienzo de los preparativos para la sumisión del Rey de Babilonia ante Marduk en el quinto día de Akitu. Durante la noche se realizó un drama que elogió a Marduk también. Quinto día La sumisión del rey de Babilonia ante Marduk. El rey entraría a la Esagila acompañado por los sacerdotes, se acercarían todos juntos al altar donde el sumo sacerdote de la Esagila se hace pasar por Marduk, luego se acerca al rey, comienza a despojarlo de sus joyas, cetro e incluso su corona y luego abofetea fuerte mientras se arrodilla en el altar y comienza a orar pidiendo el perdón de Marduk y se somete a él diciendo: "No he pecado, oh Señor del universo, y no he descuidado tu poder celestial en absoluto" ... Entonces el sacerdote en el papel de Marduk dice: "No tengas miedo de lo que Marduk tiene que decir, porque él escuchará tus oraciones, extenderá tu poder y aumentará la grandeza de tu reinado". La eliminación de todas las posesiones mundanas es un símbolo de la sumisión que el rey le da a Marduk. Después de esto, el rey se levantaría y el sacerdote le devolvería sus joyas, su cetro y su corona y luego lo abofetearía con la esperanza de que el rey derramara lágrimas, porque eso expresaría más la sumisión a Marduk y el respeto a su poder. Cuando el sacerdote devuelve la corona al rey, eso significa que Marduk renovó su poder, por lo que abril se consideraría no solo el renacimiento de la naturaleza y la vida, sino también del Estado. Por lo tanto, estas ceremonias harían que las personalidades más grandes y temidas de la época se sometieran al dios más grande y vivieran un momento de humildad con toda la población, compartiendo oraciones para demostrar su fe ante el poder de Dios. Tras su presencia en su hogar terrenal, Babilonia, y renovando el poder de su rey, el dios Marduk se queda en el Etemenanki (un zigurat o torre compuesta de siete pisos, conocida en elTorá como la Torre de Babilonia) donde estaba la vivienda de Marduk o en el templo de Esagila (en la Torá Dios moraría en una "montaña" Salmos 74: 2). Durante este día, según la tradición de Akitu, Marduk entraría en su vivienda y se sorprendería de los dioses malvados que lucharían contra él, luego Tiamat, el monstruo del caos y la diosa del océano, lo tomará prisionero y esperará la llegada de su hijo. Dios Nabu quien lo salvaría de "Nada" y le devolvería la gloria. Aqui debemos acordarnos que todo el melón del rey emérito se abrió para esas fechas, apareciendo las fundaciones Zagatka y Lucum bajo sospecha en Suiza relacionadas con el Rey emérito. Sexto día Antes de que llegaran los dioses, el día estaría lleno de conmoción. Las marionetas que se hicieron el tercer día se quemarían y también se realizarían simulacros de batalla. Esta conmoción significaba que sin Marduk, la ciudad estaría en constante caos. La llegada de Dios Nabu en botes acompañados por sus asistentes de valientes dioses que vienen de Nippur , Uruk , Kishy Eridu (ciudades de la antigua Babilonia). Los dioses que acompañaban a Nabu estarían representados por estatuas que se montarían en botes hechos especialmente para la ocasión. Aquí, la gran cantidad de personas comenzaría a caminar detrás de su rey hacia la Esagila, donde Marduk es prisionero, cantando lo siguiente: "Aquí está el que viene de lejos para restaurar la gloria de nuestro padre encarcelado". Séptimo día Al tercer día de su encarcelamiento, Nabu libera a Marduk. Los dioses malvados habían cerrado una gran puerta detrás de él cuando entró en su vivienda. Marduk estaría peleando hasta la llegada de Nabu, cuando irrumpiría en la gran puerta y una batalla continuaría entre los dos grupos, hasta que Nabu salga victorioso y libere a Marduk. Octavo día Cuando Marduk es liberado, las estatuas de los dioses se reúnen en el Salón de los Destinos "Ubshu-Ukkina", para deliberar sobre su destino, allí se decide unir todas las fuerzas de los dioses y otorgarlas a Marduk. Aquí, el rey implora a todos los dioses que apoyen y honren a Marduk, y esta tradición era una indicación de que Marduk recibió la sumisión de todos los dioses y era único en su posición. Noveno día La procesión de la victoria a la "Casa de Akitu", donde se celebra la victoria de Marduk al comienzo de la Creación sobre el dragón Tiamat (diosa de las aguas inferiores). La Casa de Akitu, que los asirios de Nínive llamaron "Bet Ekribi" ("Casa de Oraciones" en idioma asirio antiguo), estaba a unos 200 metros de las murallas de la ciudad, donde había árboles maravillosos decorados y regados cuidadosamente por respeto al dios quien ha considerado el que le otorga vida a la naturaleza. La procesión de la victoria fue la forma en que la población expresó su alegría por la renovación del poder de Marduk (Ashur) y la destrucción de las fuerzas del mal que casi controlaban la vida al principio. Décimo día Al llegar a "Bet Akitu", el dios Marduk comienza a celebrar con los dioses del mundo superior e inferior (las estatuas de los dioses estaban dispuestas alrededor de una mesa enorme, como en una fiesta), luego Marduk regresa a la ciudad por la noche para celebrar su matrimonio con la diosa "Ishtar", donde la tierra y el cielo están unidos, y como los dioses se unen, así se organiza esta unión en la tierra. Así, el rey personifica esta unión jugando el papel de casarse con la más alta sacerdotisa de la Esagila donde ambos se sentarían en el trono ante la población y recitarían poemas especiales para la ocasión. Este amor dará vida en primavera. Undécimo día Los dioses regresan acompañados por su Lord Marduk para encontrarse nuevamente en el Salón de los Destinos "Upshu Ukkina", donde se encontraron por primera vez el octavo día, esta vez decidirán el destino de la gente de Marduk. En la antigua filosofía asiria, la creación en general se consideraba como un pacto entre el cielo y la tierra siempre que un humano sirviera a los dioses hasta su muerte, por lo tanto, la felicidad de los dioses no está completa, excepto si los humanos también son felices, por lo tanto, el destino de un humano ser dado felicidad con la condición de que sirva a los dioses. Entonces Marduk y los dioses renuevan su alianza con Babilonia, prometiéndole a la ciudad otro ciclo de estaciones. Después de que se decide el destino de la humanidad, Marduk regresa a los cielos. Duodécimo día El último día de Akitu. Los dioses regresan al templo de Marduk (las estatuas se devuelven al templo) y la vida diaria se reanuda en Babilonia, Nínive y el resto de las ciudades asirias. La gente comienza a arar y prepararse para otro ciclo de estaciones. ………………………………………………………………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Voy a utilizar algunos tuits miss y de el puntal de Dios comentando las jugadas que hacen los políticos en España para que vean como se las gastan con el tema del control del tiempo. Desde aquel "atropellamiento masivo de las Ramblas" ejecutado por el recurrente yihadismo donde se aceleraron los acontecimientos en el "procés" catalán. A los 9 meses justos y a las 11 y 33 horas se ritualizó el nombramiento del 131 president. Justo el 17/5/18 se cumplían los 9 meses del atentado de las Ramblas de Barcelona del 17/8/17. Como si de un embarazo se tratara se "transmutó" un 'rey cobarde' en TORRA a las 11:33 horas. Ritual para el 131 president de la Generalitat en la sala de la VIRGEN NEGRA. El 132 president, Pere Aragonés, fue investido 1100 días (1++1+0+0=11) después de la toma de posesión del 131. ¿parece un engranaje numérico, no creen? Tan sólo 15 días después, como si de una Luna Nueva se pasase a su fase plena, Pedro, el Indestructible, tomaba el cielo del Gobierno de España por asalto (casualidades de la vida) a las 11 y 33 horas del 1 de Junio del 2018. ¿Y Pedro, el Indestructible, utilizará la numerología para "hacer magia" en unas elecciones que tenía perdidas a ojos del profano? En el 5º aniversario de su "asalto al Congreso", con la connivencia de Mariano Rajoy, convoca elecciones generales a 55 días vista. Conforme al punto 177.4 del reglamento del Congreso de los Diputados hubo que iniciar la votación si o si a las 11 de la mañana. Bueno a las 11 y 1 minuto que es más resultón. ¿Se acuerdan de la turra que dieron con aplicar el articulo 155 de la Constitución? ¿Y en qué puesto voto el Sr Rajoy? Pues en el ¡¡¡155!!! ¿Cuál si no? ¿Hay una especie de hermandad que tiene una especial fijación con un juramento en las "sagradas escrituras" que mencionen ese 133? Hace unos años señalamos esa pista y todos esos caminos conducen a esos templos fraternales discretos. Leo textualmente lo que los propios masones dicen sobre el salmo 133 de la Biblia: “Uno de los temas más llamativos para quien ingresa a una logia masónica por primera vez, es sin duda la lectura del salmo 133 antes del inicio de los trabajos masónicos. Pero ¿es así en todos los rituales del mundo? ¿existen otros pasajes bíblicos que se lean en el primer grado? ¿qué significa el salmo 133 en la masonería? Un dato interesante que vale la pena señalar respecto del salmo 133 es que forma parte del último libro de salmos. Además, en la tradición judía, es uno de los 73 salmos a los que se les atribuye como autor al Rey David, padre de Salomón, rey edificador del primer templo. Dentro de la tradición masónica, el salmo 133 ha sido identificado como el salmo que más se acerca a los ideales de la institución.” ¿Por qué el "brujo" Puigdemont lanza un órdago de todo o nada a 33 días de las elecciones? El 12 de Mayo en año bisiesto es el día 133 en curso. Él mismo fue el 130 president y aspira a ser el 133¿Será un patrón "numerológico" qué enlace con otros sucesos ceremoniales anteriores? ………………………………………………………………………………………. simbologia, un texto de PeterHouse Pro Cuando escribí sobre la relación entre la cuaresma, la pascua judía y el Akitu no pensé que se hablaría del tema y por no alargar mucho el escrito no profundicé mucho en el paralelismo de lo que vivimos hoy en España y los rituales mesopotámicos. El conocimiento de estos rituales ha sido transmitido entre la élite y son la base de la ingeniería social que sufrimos hoy. Cada cultura o civilización que los ha ido adoptando le ha introducido o eliminado elementos a conveniencia y así sucesivamente hasta nuestros días. La parte superficial de estos rituales mágicos ha cambiado pero no la esencia y su utilidad. En la naturaleza existen ciclos, así como a la psique humana le cuesta identificar patrones exponenciales y evidentemente recrearlos con el pensamiento también le cuesta identificar esos ciclos naturales. Hoy en día todo el mundo conoce el ciclo anual que llamamos estaciones del año, pero no siempre fue así, hubo un tiempo, cuando este y otros ciclos empezaban a ser identificados por las mentes más inquietas en que el conocimiento en torno a estos cálculos estaba velado para el común de los mortales. Al tiempo que la élite ha profundizado en el conocimiento de todo tipo de ciclos los ha sabido identificar en la naturaleza cada vez más y día a día ha ido sacando provecho de su control. Esto se puede observar en todo tipo de campos, desde algo tan físico y cuantificable como la mecánica de movimiento armónico hasta algo tan ancestral como la agricultura. Así como el ingeniero sabe cómo aprovechar el movimiento armónico para emplear la menor energía posible (el péndulo es símbolo de esto), el agricultor sabe cómo sacar el máximo provecho de su cosecha y estos conocimientos son el cúmulo de miles de años de conocimiento transmitido de generación en generación. Estos conocimientos son guardados celosamente durante mucho tiempo y conforme la élite es capaz de alcanzar niveles nuevos de sabiduría el pueblo llano va teniendo, poco a poco, acceso a los conocimientos ya obsoletos para el Poder, como si de algo novedoso se tratara. Esto le sirve para tener una sociedad lo suficientemente productiva pero lo suficientemente limitada. Esto, que es fácil de identificar en la agricultura se puede aplicar a absolutamente a todo lo que tiene que ver con el conocimiento, cualquier rama de cualquier ciencia. El Poder aplica a la gran la masa de seres humanos que controla el mismo tratamiento que da a las diferentes masas que ha aprendido a gestionar, por ejemplo la economía. Es decir, a la tierra, a la gente y al dinero se los somete a ciclos que los hacen producir más y mejor, podando o poniendo en barbecho según dicte el conocimiento de los ciclos naturales. La expresión ‘año sabático’, en hebreo ‘Shmitá’ proviene del séptimo año del ciclo agrícola de siete años ordenado por la Torá para la Tierra de Israel, observado aún en el judaísmo actual. Durante la shmitá la ley judía prohíbe toda actividad agrícola, incluyendo arar, plantar, podar y cosechar. Una variedad de leyes también se aplican a la venta, consumo y disposición de productos y todas las deudas, excepto las de los extranjeros, que debían ser remitidas. El Capítulo 25 del Libro de Levítico promete abundantes cosechas a quienes observan la shmitá, esto es algo que se aprecia en cómo la élite maneja la economía; el 29 de septiembre de 2008 el índice Dow Jones Industrial caía 777,7 (77,68) puntos, un 7%, la mayor de su historia en puntos, la segunda mayor caída anterior fue el 1 de septiembre de 2001, un 7,13%; ambas caídas ocurrieron un 29 de Elul, fecha que marca el fin del Shmita y día en que en el judaísmo se hace una ceremonia de “substitución” para celebrar el fin de las deudas durante el Rosh Hashaná. Es una perfecta ingeniería social porque, como el barbecho debe hacerse para darle a la tierra un ciclo sostenible, introducir la shmitá en una sociedad agrícola genera una sociedad de excedentes, se promueve el ahorro y la banca y se evita el sobre-endeudamiento, el año de descanso agrícola le da al país cierto paro pero incrementa el comercio internacional, la población flotante de pobres se mantiene y la élite de esa sociedad probablemente terminará convirtiéndose en acreedora internacional. De hecho, solamente ha tenido que hacer cumplir las escrituras: Deuteronomio 15:1-6 “Al cabo de cada siete años harás remisión de deudas. Así se hará la remisión: todo acreedor hará remisión de lo que haya prestado a su prójimo; no lo exigirá de su prójimo ni de su hermano, porque se ha proclamado la remisión del Señor. De un extranjero lo puedes exigir, pero tu mano perdonará cualquier cosa tuya que tu hermano tenga. Sin embargo, no habrá menesteroso entre ustedes, ya que el Señor de cierto te bendecirá en la tierra que el Señor tu Dios te da por heredad para poseerla, si solo escuchas fielmente la voz del Señor tu Dios, para guardar cuidadosamente todo este mandamiento que te ordeno hoy. Pues el Señor tu Dios te bendecirá como te ha prometido, y tú prestarás a muchas naciones, pero tú no tomarás prestado; y tendrás dominio sobre muchas naciones, pero ellas no tendrán dominio sobre ti.” Hoy en día, tras la destrucción de las entre comillas “columnas gemelas” y la construcción del One World Trade Center, el concepto de Israel se ha expandido a todo el mundo globalizado y se le aplica a la sociedad mundial esta misma magia, la maldición del 9 de Av que hemos conocido de manos de Aingeru García es una de estas podas que se le hace a la masa de gente como control eugenésico. No hay que esperar el nacimiento de ninguna vaca roja ni la construcción de un tercer templo, ése templo es el planeta entero y ahora que la comunidad es global esa magia se aplica de muchas formas pero son identificables porque la élite, por un motivo u otro (algo que deberá abordarse) está sujeta a los ritos y estos, al estar relacionados con los astros y por lo tanto con los números, pueden ser descubiertos. «El tiempo saca a la luz todo lo que está oculto y encubre y esconde lo que ahora brilla con el más grande esplendor.» Horacio. Siglo I antes de Cristo. El mal vende. Y vende bien. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Invitados: …. Dra Yane #JusticiaParaUTP @ayec98_2 Médico y Buscadora de la verdad. Con Dios siempre!

It's Purim! So when Baby Brother Zev and his girlfriend Osnat came down to DC to peep some cherry blossoms, I made them come to tell you all what is Purim, the super-fun Jewish dress-up party where we celebrate a narrow escape from mass murder and eat cookies named for the bad guy's hat. Or ears. Or pockets apparently. Depends who you ask. Get to the bottom of what the heck Hamantaschen are supposed to be, what is the story of Esther, what to wear for Purim, how they do it in Israel, and who really said "Well Behaved Women Seldom Make History."

Cub Kuker Supernatural Podcast EP397 There exist thousands of prophecies heralding the return of divine beings. Yet, the question remains: Have these prophecies already been fulfilled, are they merely mythical tales, or do they await realization in the future? Let's delve into the mysteries of ancient civilizations and the mythic role played by the Anunnaki, the divine beings of Sumerian mythology on today's episode. Today I will reference theories in my own work as well as Zechariah Sitchin's. - The Anunnaki as Powerful Beings: In the annals of Sumerian lore lies the tale of the Anunnaki, celestial beings who traversed the vast expanse of the cosmos. They were revered as powerful entities, often depicted with immense authority and influence over humanity. Z. Sitchin proposed that the term "Anunnaki" referred to these extraterrestrial visitors who shaped human civilization. - Elohim as the Powerful Ones: In parallel, the Hebrew term "Elohim," as presented in the book of Genesis, carries connotations of power and might. Sitchin's interpretations suggest that the Elohim could be viewed through a similar lens as the Anunnaki—a group of powerful beings involved in the creation and governance of the universe. - Nibiru's Influence on Earth: Sitchin posited that the Anunnaki hailed from the planet Nibiru, a world beyond the reaches of our solar system. Nibiru's periodic visits, as it intersected with Earth's orbit every 3,600 years, exerted a profound influence on our planet, triggering cataclysmic events and shaping its geological and climatic history. - The Quest for Gold and Human Origins: The Anunnaki's journey to Earth, according to Sitchin, was driven by their need for gold to stabilize Nibiru's atmosphere. In their quest, they engaged in genetic engineering, combining their own DNA with that of early hominids to create Homo sapiens—a slave race to mine gold. Sitchin's theories suggest that the Genesis account of humanity's creation might be interpreted through this lens of extraterrestrial intervention. - Legacy in Ancient Texts: Sumerian myths and epics, such as the Enuma Elish and the Epic of Gilgamesh, offer glimpses into the deeds of the Anunnaki, immortalized in ancient texts. Similarly, Hebrew scriptures, including the book of Genesis, contain echoes of these ancient narratives, providing rich tapestries of divine interactions with humanity. - Challenges to Orthodoxy: Despite facing skepticism from mainstream academia, Sitchin's teachings invite us to cast aside the shackles of dogma and embrace the boundless possibilities that await those who dare to question and explore the mysteries of our ancient past.

“In the beginning God created…” Creation was covered in the last inversion with creation “out of nothing,” but there is more to be said about the verb “create” and how God creates. At this point, I will venture beyond the first verse of Genesis 1 (finally!). Here are the first three verses of Genesis, which are worth committing to memory:In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.The first thing to notice about this beginning, this creation, is that there is no battle or struggle. The maker here has no writer's block, no hand-cramping. He's not in a rush to complete the project. The painter doesn't run out of paint. He isn't interrupted by deliveries or doorbells or drop-ins. Neither is there any negotiation nor argument. No supply chain issues disrupt the critical path of keeping this building project on schedule. The flow of creation is gentle, as God simply states, “Let there be light.” No laser show or fireworks are needed. No soundtrack. No music video.God creates in peace. Most of all, we should notice that God is not attacked or killed or overthrown in any way. Why is that important? This inversion of a creation story flips the Greek, Sumerian, and other creation stories, which contain a battle, a struggle, or a war in which the victorious god “wins.” There is no struggle in Genesis. There is not even a competition of any kind. This is unlike the Sumerian, Norse, Greek, Minyong, Cherokee, and just about every other creation story. In other words, Genesis is about simple beauty, not struggle. Creation is an unfolding, not a mash-up. Consider the difference between humans constructing a building with metal, wood, cranes, and hard hats, versus a seed in soil receiving rain and growing into a flower. Jesus spoke of this when he compared Solomon's man-made opulence against a simple flower: “Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these.” All that we can make pales to one of God's wild lilies. In the gentle act of creation, God merely speaks. “Let there be light” makes all other creation stories violent and slightly ridiculous. The false gods seem to be trying too hard. Against the beauty of “Let there be light,” the Sumerian story of Marduk's conquering of the primordial god reads like a cheesy TV drama, like Game of Thrones, or like the aptly named HBO series Succession. This is the inversion: a “succession myth” is built into nearly every pagan creation story, where the primordial god or gods fight, and the first gods are overthrown. These other creation myths tell of a victory that never happened. Genesis declares that there was no fight whatsoever. There wasn't even an argument or a dirty look. That's because there is only one God, the God Most High, the Author, the Creator, the Artist. Once again, Genesis calmly calls all other mythologies absurd - because they are. They may entertain us, but so does a gladiator fight, which doesn't make it right. James Joyce, who rejected the very God who gave him his great talent to write, knew much about the creation of literary works. In The Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Joyce wrote about a version of God that seems quite right and quite wrong at the same time:“The artist, like the God of the creation, remains within or behind or beyond or above his handiwork, invisible, refined out of existence, indifferent, paring his fingernails.” There is something wonderful about this quote and something false. The God who creates in Genesis does indeed remain within/behind/beyond/above his creation. Unlike human artists, he does not struggle in the act of creation, as it is a labor of love. When he completes the creation, he rests, like Joyce's image of the creator. I like the image of God seated in heaven “paring his fingernails,” even though he would not need to do so. Joyce is correct about God's presence and about his resting, but he makes an error in the middle where he says that God is “refined out of existence” and “indifferent.” In other words, Joyce's character is like Thomas Jefferson's view of God. He envisions God in the Deist view, like a clockmaker, who creates the heavens and earth and then moves on, not caring at all what happens to it. The God who creates in Genesis is not like that. He is not like the pagan gods who lust for power, nor is he like the Joyce version who creates and then drifts off distantly. This is indeed a central inversion to understanding the God of the Bible, in that when he speaks to create, he brings all things into being, and actively sustains the creation. While he could be “paring his fingernails” at rest, he is never indifferent or distant. He is an all-powerful creator who is also a loving Father, without being an overbearing one. Free will is granted to all, and free will often feels like a cross but is most assuredly a gift for those who read the Gospels to the end. In addition, the constraints of time and space, which seem a burden, are the teaching tools God uses to tame us after the Fall. The succession myths and science theories that throw out God only hurt us. God is fine whether we love him or ignore him. But when we do not conform our will to God's will, it is we who struggle, not God. In the Sumerian and Greek myths, the gods are paranoid about who will take their power. Even Zeus is sneaking around so Hera doesn't catch him. But the God of Genesis has no threats, no challengers, no contenders, no scolds, because God is like Joyce's all-powerful creator who is within/above/behind/beyond his creation. But he is not like Joyce's “meh” version of God who could care less about his work. This is the difference between human works of art versus human life - as in children. This is an important lesson for all those who dislike children but see their own lives as a work of art. The ultimate work of art is the generation of new life, and dying to self in favor of living to serve that life. To write a story is to create, but it is not new life. When I was young, I was obsessed with writing and publishing a novel. I succeeded. It sold about 4,000 copies. That was nice. But that creation now sits on a shelf and only comes to life if I open it, and I rarely do. Then I had children and realized that writing a novel is a dead letter compared to the work of a family. In other words, to see God as merely the writer of a story is to misunderstand the living and the dead. And James Joyce, who wrote a famous short story about “The Dead” was himself flatlined because he thought “to create” meant only writing, painting, and art alone. The greatest act of creation is life, and not just static art, but life that respirates and moves and sings and suffers. In other words, the greatest work of art respirates - it breathes - and creation comes through relationships we have with the living God and with one another. In particular, the total gift of self means handing over your whole life to God. In marriage that means being open to creating new life and serving others instead of the self. The Church is said to be the Bride of Christ, and he emptied himself to bring new life to all its members. God does the same through all creation, as life springs from his word. God calls us to life by speaking, not struggling. Jesus brought life to all the world starting with a small group of friends. They changed from ways of this world into saints by giving away their time and space to others, forgetting the struggle. With Jesus at the center, this shedding of struggle became possible. The only struggle in Jesus' earthly ministry happened when competition against God's will tried to insert itself: the Pharisees wanted control through rules, the Romans used brutal violence, James and John lobbied for top status in the kingdom, Peter was rebuked harshly when he tried to stop the path to the cross. Whenever anyone wants to make a name for himself, a struggle begins. This is a spiritual law, it seems, from the Tower of Babel to Pontius Pilate and Simon Magus. The opposite of serving is gaining a name for oneself, and those who gain fame by doing God's will tend to get new names, not from themselves but from God. Abram becomes Abraham, Jacob becomes Israel, and Simon becomes Peter. With their new name comes a mission of servitude, and status only comes with their dying to self. When Jesus says, “From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force,” he is talking about the status-seekers and the power-hungry who rule this world. To serve is to take the lowest seat, not the highest, and we should consider this whenever we admire celebrities, the wealthy, or the proud. When the guards strike Jesus, he opens not his mouth. Not once does Jesus attempt to make a name for himself. He repeatedly tells others not to announce what he has done. Healing in private he seeks no fame. This is exactly how God creates: in peace, in quiet. “Let there be light” makes no sound, it just happens. Thus, when the proud loudly mock God or take his name in vain, God allows them, for he has already won, and he just hopes his persecutors eventually stop trying to make a name for themselves and come to rest in his infinite peace. Surely when he watches us struggle, it must look foolish, since he wants us to partake in his divine nature, which does not struggle. The creation of life that God gives to the universe and each human body and soul composite is an act of love. Mothers and fathers can know this to a depth that can never be understood by the childless. Dog owners often think they understand what parenthood means, but they do not, and they sound silly when they attempt to conflate dog ownership with actual parenthood. Artists will often talk of their work as like that of a mother's love for a child. But they are ignorant of the depth of the Father's love for his children, or a mother's love for her child. The images of the Holy Family endure because that is the greatest work of art - a living family. We have a living family both earthly and spiritual. For we not only have an imperfect earthly father, we have the perfect heavenly Father who created our earthly father. Better still, we have our imperfect earthly mother, and our spiritual Mother of God, Mary, who Jesus stated from the cross for all people, “There is your Mother.” The God who created all is not an absentee deadbeat dad, he is near. Nor is he angry and controlling, he is simply calling us to listen and be listened to. In other words, there is no struggle in this relationship except for what we introduce to it. We bring the struggle. Because we chafe against our containment in time and space, we want to escape it and control it. Struggle ensues exactly when we deny God's will and try to make our own will the authority and power. This is a fool's game, but since the expulsion from the Garden we never tire of playing it until the invasion of grace enters our lives. When Jesus steps into our boat, as he did with Peter and Andrew, the struggle can end, if we let it. The creator of a work of art struggles and can love his book, painting, song, or statue that they “bring to life.” But it can never be alive like a child. A book or painting cannot bind you in flesh and bone like another person that was generated by yourself and another person. And here is where the Trinity can first be discussed (but not too much yet), because when God the Father creates, the Spirit hovers over the waters. To create is the act of love, and that which is created and living will be loved by the creator. I can be indifferent to a story that I wrote, or to a woodworking project that I complete, even if I am pleased with the result. But I cannot be indifferent to a child that is alive who came from husband and wife. This is why many parents seem somewhat insane: they love so deeply. They love so deeply that they err in strange ways. This is why the saying, “You're only as happy as your most unhappy child” hits the nail on the head for many mothers and fathers. The living creation that is generated by parents, from their shared bodies, can never be separated in a child. Genesis and Jesus both repeat: “…and the two shall become one flesh; so they are no longer two, but one flesh.” In the same way, God loves us. The Trinity is a loving family of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This is the peak of love, at a greater depth, with rightly ordered balance. God does not try to control us, but allows us to err, with the hope that we will recognize the way back home. And since we are all children of God, can't we imagine how he feels when we ignore him? (We can't fully, but we can get an idea.) This is why the other creation stories feel like entertainment rather than truth. They are accounts of struggle, whereas the true God never struggles. To read the “struggle stories” of creation in the ancient world is to see what they valued, which was power. We do the same today. In poker, the big bank takes the little bank. In geopolitics, big armies and big navies control the shipping lanes. In the office, the loudest voice drives the agenda. The proud and violent “win” here, and for it, we all lose. Disorder comes from struggle and squabbling over scraps from a zero-sum game that doesn't need to be played. None of the power games we play come from God, but rather from our disordered will. What we consider creation is often destruction. Fortunately, Jesus shows us God: he is a humble servant, a loving creator, a living act of love who takes the last seat at the table. Real power is to be at rest amid the storm, like when Jesus slept in the boat that was about to capsize. The seas and the wind obey him. So should we. In America, “wealth creation” is worshipped, and the creation of wealth is an endless struggle. Yet if Jesus returned tomorrow, he would not come forth saying, “We must get the economy back on track.” The only economy of concern to God is the economy of salvation for our souls. That is the plan, and to carry out that plan we must stop struggling. But we celebrate struggle. Everything seems to be built around it today. We seek it out. Activists calling for permanent revolution crave a struggle. Sports is an endless invented struggle of those rising and falling. Cities and nations clamor for influence. We think we love struggle, but we loathe it because it is a trap. It is a container that we crawl inside, pull the lid down over ourselves, and suffocate under. We hate this competition and we want to rest, but for most of us, the draw of struggle pulls us into our own bad creation stories. Glory days and power plays are what gets remembered, not the quiet servant, the mother who made all the meals. What we should do is notice who is not struggling. God is not struggling. He is seated. After creation he is seated, not struggling, but also he is not indifferent. When people come to know the living God, who created all things, a sense of active participation in that peace comes to them, which is why St. Augustine's memorable line rings forever true throughout the centuries: “You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.”In case you ever wonder why people like to kneel and pray in adoration chapels, or in the pews, it is because they are talking to the one that gives life, meaning, and rest. Once you come to see that the only place without struggle is at the center, at the source, from whom all things are generated, then the attraction of the struggle in this world makes little sense. Aside from needing our daily bread, the struggles of our world have come from sin. To sin is to struggle. Once again, Jesus said, “Consider the lilies of the field who neither toil nor spin.” We have rational souls, yet we should look to the lily, or the ant, for models of living in our bodies, and for our spiritual example we must look to God - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit - for how not to struggle but to find peace. How is it that God does not struggle? He is without pride or fear. Only we who have fallen know pride, vanity, and sensuality, and that is the source of all struggle. Sin is the absence of God. When we sin we reject God in favor of our pride, vanity, or sensuality. In choosing to sin, we choose disorder and struggle. But we do not harm God when we turn away. There is nothing that can harm God or overtake him. He does not force us to love him, but he invites us to do so. God is not “containable.” The great error is thinking that he can be contained, tricked, or boxed in. God is uncontained. His creation is an unending relationship and conversation. He creates with a living, breathing, moving, open heart toward us all. He is uncontained because he's not in competition with anything, including us. When I was in high school, I was putting dishes away one day in cupboards and drawers, and it dawned on me that everything had a container. Forks go into a drawer, but within the drawer, there is an organizer. Within the drawer container, was another container for holding the forks. I began to look around and saw that everything I did was moving things from one container to another. The world seemed to one big Containment Management System, as I would wake up in the house container, go to the shower container (containing the water) and eat breakfast moving many containers to and fro, and then get in the car container to go to school, then go into the school container, in the classroom container, and with my backpack container, I would open up my books which contained words. In this theory of containment, I realized that if I go very close with a microscope, there are smaller and smaller containers, from cells to molecules to atoms to protons. And all of these contain smaller things. Likewise, if I back up from my containers and look up, there are more containers, like the earth, the solar system, the galaxy, and the universe. So as far as my finite mind could understand, the largest container was the universe, and beyond that wall, our material selves could not go. But then there were containers for immaterial things as well, like ideas, as we categorize things as Platonic forms or mathematical constants or schools of thought. There were numbers that had rules of containment from Euclid to Einstein. There were stories that had beginnings and endings, like virtual bookends. Even our imagination is contained by time and space. This fed into a period when I discounted all spiritual things, where anything immaterial was not real, like feelings or opinions. Only scientific evidence made for knowledge. Right around that time, I became very depressed as well, as I had rejected God's existence. But I did have one realization at that time when I was looking at forks and drawers and atoms and planets. A question came to me:What would it mean to be uncontained? I felt as if this was like Zen koan, a question like “What is the sound of one hand clapping?” To be uncontained was to be free, completely elevated outside of time and space. And who could be like that? Who could always be in that place of no struggle? I know who it is. Whenever I thought of what that must feel like to be truly uncontained, without the aid of mood-altering things, I recalled a day when I was working on a farm one summer, leaning on a gate at the end of the day after making silage, watching the cattle toss the fresh, green food up in the air and onto their backs, almost joyfully, as the sun set in the big orange horizon beyond the silo silhouette. It was one of those moments where the body was tired but fulfilled and I knew that dinner would be good because I'd worked for my daily bread, and the music of the spheres, and the harmony of nature, all seemed to be flowing in concert, and I've never seen anything so true, good, and beautiful in my whole life. That day I felt uncontained basking in the beauty of creation. I had other moments like this, such as when my children were born, where the impossible occurred. There have been quite a few times like when I would be out on a long bike ride at dusk and stop for a drink of water near a cornfield, or when I would look at the stars on the hood of my car in high school with my friends, or when I hold my wife's hand, or when I listen to certain songs, or when I look at certain Caravaggio paintings like “The Conversion of St. Paul.” To be uncontained is impossible for me. I can not stay there. But I can be there from time to time. Like Mary Magdalene at the tomb, I can witness the glory, but cannot hold fast to it while I'm in this world. In these moments, I realized something that seemed profound (at the time):God is that which is uncontained. God is the only thing that is uncontainable. This is why God does not struggle. This is why he rests. Can we ever be uncontained? The answer is yes. We can partake of the divine nature. What the Eucharist means in the life of a Catholic is just this. For those who believe, receiving Communion is just what it means: we commune with God. We partake in the divine nature. In other words, we partake in the uncontained wonder and awe of the creator of the universe. Critical to the understanding of the Eucharist is that we are not God, but we are made in the image of God, and our life is entirely about moving back into his uncontainability. The key is to remember that I am not God - I am contained, but by partaking in his nature, I can be more like him, and in heaven I will be fully with him again, for we came from the uncontained and can return there - and someday we will return if we remain in his grace, for “by your endurance, you will gain your soul.” But like every original thought I've had, I found out later that my idea of uncontainment was not original at all. In St. Augustine's Confessions, Book 1, Chapter 3, the heading is: “Everywhere God wholly fills all things, but neither heaven nor earth contains Him.”Those who understand what the Catholic Church teaches have known about this notion of uncontainment for millennia. Sometimes I see Church Fathers use the term uncircumscribed, which is like saying uncontained. But most importantly for this inversion, this is why the God of the Bible is different from all the other gods. All of the gods of myth are within time and space. Even if they are in the heavens, they struggle. God does not struggle, he creates, even though he did not have to create. He chose to do so out of love, and it is only we, the fallen, who choose struggle. Because our pride, vanity, and sensuality fool us we believe that struggling against each other will gain us a higher place, but when we struggle we dig our graves. In making a name for ourselves, we will be forgotten by God on the last day. In struggling, we lose our peace and rest, because it takes our focus off of what is most good, what is the highest good, which is God, the uncontained creator who does not struggle, ever. Like the loving father in the parable of the Prodigal Son who runs out to meet his wayward son upon his return, he calls to us, he runs out to meet us, and when we return he fills us with a wealth beyond human understanding. And that is why we are here in this world as we are: we are not kicked out of the Garden as a punishment, we are kicked out for our own good, so that we may come to know God and return to him of our own free will. He invites us but never forces our hand. He calls, never coerces. He is beyond all things and sustains all things, which is why we cannot run from God. All that we create that is not living becomes rusted, corroded, and overtaken by time and nature. Every ancient temple and city dedicated to the false gods has turned to dust, just as every skyscraper, stadium, and data center today will turn to dust. Every mascot and corporate logo will be as powerless and meaningless as the eagle of Rome or the oracle at Delphi. We are passing by on our way to an eternity in one of two places. Like a bird flying by a window, our time is brief, our stay here is short, and all that we create will fade, no matter how we struggle to maintain a sense of security. The pages in books we write will turn yellow, the machines will fall into disrepair and sit like rocks. But the life we create can create more life, as the generations continue. This is why a child who plays a video game is disengaged, while a child who catches a fish is full of wonder. One is playing in the world that God created, and the other is playing in an artificial world that a programmer created. Likewise, this is why a reader of Joyce may experience something like transcendence, but a reader of the Bible (and especially the Gospels) experiences something alive. Joyce could write a book, but his book cannot generate life. But those who approach the Bible as the written word of the uncontained God who created all things and does not struggle will find life. Yes, it is a strange book that can bring a robotic modern person back to life. Interestingly, Joyce's most famous short story was called “The Dead” which referred to Jesus' saying, “Let the dead bury the dead.” This was a reference to spiritual death. When Jesus said that he is the vine, the bread of life, and the living water, he was telling us to plug into God. He was notifying us that struggling and floundering only happen when you desire something more than God. You will forever be searching and struggling until you come to realize that there is only one path to the end of struggle, and that is the path back home to God. Jesus reminds us: “In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” He has created the world, overcome it, and rests, waiting for us to recognize his ever-present voice. When we find him, in those moments, we will want to stay there and never leave. In the Eucharist at Holy Mass we can partake in the uncontained. Jesus is there - truly present under the appearance of the bread and the wine. Again, Mary Magdalene at the tomb wants to stay with the risen Lord forever, but she cannot. She has to move forward, and moving forward she is full of life, she is changed. Her sadness is swept away upon seeing the risen Jesus. How can that be? Because she is no longer struggling, and her sorrow turns to joy. She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.” When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to him in Hebrew, “Rabbouni!” (which means Teacher). Jesus said to her, “Do not hold on to me, because I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'” Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”; and she told them that he had said these things to her. (John 20:11-18)And then, once we meet him, after he surprises us, we know beyond our worldly containers what is true, good, and beautiful. He invites us into that peaceful present. Then our pain and sorrow become strangely redemptive. Coming to know how he does not struggle, we can do likewise. We can go to the chapel in the heart even when a church is nowhere near. As St. Paul said, we can pray constantly, and thus be with the one that is forever uncontained by time and space while we work and live here - for the kingdom of God is among us - in relationships, not in art or status or stuff. Once we recognize our relationship to God, we know the Father, and we know our mother Mary, and we become connected to the angels and saints - including Mary Magdalene, who will pray with you if you but ask for her intercession. Then like God, we do not have to struggle. For God alone is uncontained. And God alone satisfies.

In Gen 1, there is no hint of struggle or battle between God and this tehom—water.”* Chaoskampf - Good overview of myth systems that assume a struggle, but the article misses the inversion of Genesis entirely. God does not struggle. He just creates. He orders. There is no rival. Even Leviathan is God's plaything or pet (Psalm 104). The ancient dragon, the devil, is cast down to earth like a swatted fly falling to the floor (Revelation 12:9). He was never a threat to God, never a contender, rather just a rebel and nuisance to the good of creation, as he still is for us today. This is a public episode.

The thrilling conclusion of the Enuma Elish is an extended hagiographical top-50 list extolling the virtues of Babylon's patron god. As we are now well into the period where Marduk is unquestionably supreme within Babylon's walls, it is high time that we focused out attention a bit more on just who this Marduk fellow truly is. We look at the context of the naming, the fact that by some counts Marduk has more than 50 names, and then look through the canonical listing itself, including commentary by later ancient scholars on the Enuma Elish as an etymological text, which is not a perspective we would usually approach it from.

Updated April 15, 2021: This topic of the "firmament" is also of great interest to atheists. A popular anti-creationist made a 40-minute YouTube video critical of this article. We may have hit a nerve. A favorite claim of many atheists is that the Bible teaches that the earth is surrounded by a solid domed sky. Instead, the Bible actually teaches that the firmament of Day Two is the crust of the earth, which divided water below the crust from the waters on the surface. Documenting this thereby rebuts that widespread false allegation. When we first published this article, that extra bonus was unexpected. So we've embedded and responded to Brett Palmer's video including by pointing out that the Babylonian creation epic, Enuma Elish, below, corroborates this understanding of the "firmament" as first referring to the earth's crust (i.e., biblically, to paradise, to heaven on earth). And we show that the Bible's Hebrew word for firmament, raqia, from the verb raqa, refers not only to the heavens above, but explicitly, to the crust of the earth. And we present the meaning of the Syrian geographical place name, Raqqa, and extend to antiquity the etymology of the English word, rock. At Real Science Radio (which airs on America's most-powerful radio station), we teach Dr. Walt Brown's Hydroplate Theory as the best understanding of the global flood, geology and the relevant scriptures. If the following is correct, all flood models based on the "canopy theory" and "plate tectonics" are false.On Day Two God Made the Crust of the Earth: Dr. Walt Brown's Hydroplate Theory helps to understand the global flood, geology and the relevant scriptures. On Day Two of creation, God formed the crust of the earth, called the firmament (Hebrew: raqia), which extended for miles above a worldwide subterranean ocean, and the crust of course also held waters upon its surface. If this is true, we would expect to read in the Bible that initially, the surface of the earth was covered only with water, and that then God made the earth's crust above the water. And consistent with the Hydroplate Theory (which describes a layer of water at least one-mile thick that was perhaps dozens of miles below the earth's surface), in fact the Bible teaches that God: - "In the beginning God created... the earth. ...and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters" (Genesis 1:1-2). Then God, - "laid out (raqa) the earth above the waters" (Psalm 136:6). And, - "by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth [was] standing out of water and in the water" (2 Peter 3:5). - "Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament" (Gen. 1:7). So, "The earth is the Lord's... For He has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the waters" (Ps.24:1-2). Where the Water Came From: The global flood then began when those "fountains of the great deep were broken up" (Gen. 7:11) for the pre-flood earth had been "standing out of water and in the water, by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water" (2 Peter 3:5-6). Those waters had been stored up for global judgment if needed. For when "the heavens were made," the Bible says of much of the Earth's water back then that God "lays up the deep in storehouses" (Ps. 33:6-7; see also Prov. 8:27-28). For God created not only the surface waters, for He "made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters" (Rev. 14:7 KJV [as with many versions; some like the NKJV say "springs of water"). Dr. Brown's book, In the Beginning, demonstrates powerfully that the world's major geologic features flow logically from these initial conditions. But some creationists who disagree point out that, "God called the firmament Heaven" (Gen. 1:8), claiming that this firmament must be either the atmosphere (e.g., Henry Morris) or outer space (e.g., Russell Humphreys). Heaven on Earth, Hell Beneath: However at RSR we show that, whether figurative or literal, the crust of the earth is the boundary between heaven and hell. It is consistent with Biblical history that God would originally call the crust of the earth "heaven." For at creation, "He drew a circular horizon on the face of the waters, at the boundary of light and darkness. The pillars of heaven tremble (Job 26:10-11). And then, "He divideth (not raqa but raga) the sea with his power" (Job 26:12 KJV, Jubilee, Websters, etc.). God designated the region below the crust as the initial abode of those who may pass away. Hell is the holding prison for the unrepentant dead. "Hell from beneath is excited about you, to meet you at your coming" (Isa. 14:9; etc.). For the newly-made earth, the Lord logically referred to everything from the crust and above as heaven. Hence dozens of verses indicate that heaven also refers to the earth's atmosphere as in "rain from heaven," the "dew of heaven," "birds of heaven," "dust from the heaven," city walls "fortified up to heaven," smoke rises "to the midst of heaven," "the heavens are shut" in drought, "frost of heaven," "clouds of heaven," "snow from heaven," "hail from heaven," and the east winds "blow in the heavens." Thus even after the Fall, from Genesis and Job, through the Gospels, Acts and Revelation, the Bible continued to refer to the atmosphere, one molecule above the ground, as heaven. Apart from this understanding, a Bible student might think that while the surface of the Moon is in "heaven", that the paradise God made on the surface of the Earth is not. Also, the Bible's thirty-two occurrences of the phrase "kingdom of heaven" appear only in the royal Gospel of Matthew, and some of these (Mat. 11:12; 13:24 with Mat. 13:38; 16:19; Mat. 18:1 with Luke 9:46; etc.) locate this kingdom of "heaven" at least partially on earth. Lucifer Fell from Heaven on Earth: "God called the firmament Heaven," because the earth's crust formed the boundary between heaven and the future hell. The firmament also divided the waters of the earth (Gen. 1:2, 6) which even reserved the floodwaters of judgment below ground. For God "lays up the deep in storehouses" so "let all the earth fear the Lord," (Ps. 33:7-8), because He "shut in the sea with doors" until in the flood "it burst forth and issued from the womb," (Job. 38:8). But after the Fall, which likely occurred within a week of Creation, earth lost its heavenly designation, for apparently God will never fully replicate the first earth. Only two detailed Bible stories involve happenings that occured prior to the Fall, the creation account and the record of Lucifer's fall. And both of these events refer to earth as heaven. Isaiah 14:12 describes "Lucifer" as "fallen from heaven," yet Scripture places him on earth at the moment of his fall. "You were in Eden, the garden of God," (Ezek. 28:13). And "you have said in your heart: "I will ascend into heaven... I will ascend above the heights of the clouds," (Isa. 14:13-14). "Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, to the lowest depths of the Pit," (Isa. 14:15). Even though he was on earth, Lucifer fell "from heaven," because prior to the Fall, the surface of the earth was part of heaven's realm. * Bible Students Understand the Firmament, But Get Confused at 1:8: See this explained in this five-minute segment, in our 2-hour flood video, that begins at 48:30. Just click and the video will start at the correct point... Consider the flesh. Notice that just as gravity pulls our physical flesh down toward the center of the earth, the Fall created the world system which relentlessly pulls our spiritual flesh, drawing us down toward the lowest depths until death, and then the believer's released spirit soars upward to heaven, whereas the unbeliever's unfettered spirit falls downward, the firmament no longer keeping him out of Hades, thus his soul plummets into hell. C.S. Lewis wrote the preface to D.E. Harding's esoteric The Hierarchy of Heaven & Earth in which Harding wrote that "Hierarchy is... something like the ancient circles of heaven and earth and hell" (1952, p. 27), and that the "narrowest Hell would be widest Heaven if the Devil could only bring himself to turn round and look out from the Centre instead of in at himself" (p. 187). In the modern classic, Soul of Science, (1994, p. 38), Pearcey and Thaxton describe the view of Christian "medieval cosmology" that "at the very center of the universe was Hell, then the earth, then (moving outward from the center) the progressively nobler spheres of the heavens." Christians continue to affirm this hierarchy quoting Paul who was "caught up to the third heaven" (2 Cor 12:2), the first being the sky, the second is space, and the third God's habitation. King David even refers to the deep, as the "channels of the sea", where in the flood "the foundations of the world were uncovered", which were "the foundations of heaven" (2 Sam. 22:8, 16). Incidentally, the never-before-seen consequences of the flood caused the troubles David lists here. The lightnings, thunder, dark waters, thick clouds, darkness, volcanic eruptions, smoke, coal and fire, the earth shaking, and when the "channels of the sea appeared" only then the "foundations of the world were uncovered..." Moses Qualified His Last Four Uses of Firmament: Moses used the word firmament nine times in the creation account. He intentionally distinguished the last four occurrences from the first four, which all pivot around the central instance where God called the earth's firmament Heaven. Each of the four in the second grouping (Genesis 1:14, 15, 17, 20) is qualified separately by an exceptional repetition. The prepositional phrase "of the heavens" makes a distinction between the first firmament of the earth, and the second "firmament of the heavens." And if firmament means the "heavens," the very term "firmament of the heavens" would seem unnecessarily redundant, especially when repeated four times. However, the qualifier "of the heavens" is added so that the reader will not confuse this firmament of sky and space with the previous firmament of earth. Thus, readers alien to the notion of "heaven" on earth should nonetheless be able to separate the two firmaments, and understand God's meaning. Now, millennia after the Fall, God's own record of creation notwithstanding, sin has almost completely obscured the original perspective of the earth's surface as "heaven." The Things God Called Day and Earth: "God called the light Day." Yet like with the word firmament, Genesis has two very different meanings for light. Day 4 would be unintelligible without recognizing its initial meaning. "Then God made two great Days to rule the heavens"? No. The same is true for the dry land that "God called... Earth". If it had only one meaning, then the Earth would have been created on Day Two when the "Earth" appeared. Our Full Firmament Video: Above we pointed to a five-minute excerpt. Here's the full 30-minute segment out of our Global Flood video on raqia titled, Is the Day 2 firmament of Genesis the Earth's crust?: Kingdom of Heaven Lost on Earth: When man rebelled, earth became more like hell than heaven. Thus man's habitation on the surface of the earth lost its heavenly designation. The Bible describes Hell as below, bounded by the firmament. However in the beginning "God called the firmament Heaven" because that's where He placed Adam and Eve, above ground on the surface, in the heavens, in fellowship with Him, not in any other realm but in His kingdom, in heaven on earth. 2011 UPDATE - Atheists and the Solid Dome: YouTube anti-creationist Brett Palmer created a 40-minute rebuttal video (embedded here) of this little article on the firmament. Seems like we hit a nerve. Aside from Brett casting aspersions from the recently invented flat-earth myth, consider that as with many other atheists, he claims that the word firmament (Hebrew raqia) discredits the creation account by showing that Genesis cannot be God's Word because it merely echoes the ancient world's false belief in a solid domed sky above the earth. So, if raqia (firmament) refers not only to the heavens, but also to the crust of the earth, standing above a subterranean chamber of water, then atheists would lose a favorite argument. Raqia is the noun from the verb raqa meaning being hammered or spread out, as in working metal into a thin sheet or plate. "They beat (raqa) the gold into thin sheets" (Exodus 39:3). "The goldsmith overspreads (raqa) it with gold" (Isaiah 40:19; i.e., gold-plated). Similarly, God overspread the waters of the earth with the plates of the earth's crust, i.e., the firmament, what Walt Brown calls hydroplates. For "God made the firmament (raqia), and divided the waters which were under the firmament (raqia, the crustal plates) from the waters which were above the firmament" (Genesis 1:7). Please review again the verses listed below. For not only did God create "the sea and the fountains" (Rev. 14:7), if this understanding of raqia is is the Bible's actual meaning, then we would expect also to read that initially the surface of the earth was covered only with water, and that then God made the earth's crust above the water: - "In the beginning God created... the earth. ...darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters." Gen. 1:1-2 - God "laid out the earth above the waters" Ps. 136:6- "by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water" 2 Pet. 3:5 - "Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament." Gen. 1:7 "The earth is the Lord's... For He has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the waters." Ps. 24:1-2 When the Bible specifically links raqa to the earth (as in the passages below), and because words typically have multiple meanings, it is extreme to insist that raqia cannot refer to anything but the heavens. Genesis was written back when pagans wondered what held up the earth. Perhaps it rested on the back of a tortoise, or on a pillar, or was held up by Atlas. Yet the most ancient Scripture teaches that God, "hangs the earth on nothing" (Job 26:7), which is visually consistent with modern astronomical observation. For just as the firmament of the earth holds up the mountains, so too, the firmament "of the heavens" is strong enough to hold the earth.God Raqa the EARTH! Firmament (raqia) is used "of the heavens" commonly and eleven times the Bible speaks of God stretching out the heavens. Then there is something not included in the above video. Another three times the Bible says that God raqa the earth itself. This shows, unlike as stressed on YouTube, that raqia very naturally also refers to the earth. Dr. Walt Brown's book lists these verses but I'll repeat them here for Mr. Palmer's consideration: To Him who laid out (raqa) the earth above the waters… Ps. 136:6 Thus says God the Lord, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread forth (raqa) the earth and that which comes from it… Isa. 42:5 “I am the Lord, who makes all things, who stretches out the heavens all alone, who spreads abroad (raqa) the earth by Myself;" Isa. 44:24 The firmament (raqia) of the creation account was iconic in ancient Israel, as the Tyndale Bible Dictionary says, "the firmament is always related to Creation." So the repetition and by two authors shows that the wording is deliberate. Thus these verses show an ancient awareness in Scripture that God raqa the Earth, that is, that His stretching out of the raqia of Genesis 1:8 readily refers to terra firma, or as the King James translators coined the word from the Latin, the firmament. Raqia and Heaven Both Refer Also to the Earth Raqa the Earth Heaven on Earth To Him who laid out (raqa) the earth above the waters...  Ps. 136:6 "He drew a circular horizon on the face of the waters, at the boundary of light and darkness. The pillars of heaven tremble... He stirs up the sea with His power..." Job 26:10-12 Thus says God the Lord, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread forth (raqa) the earth...  Isa. 42:5 "And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force." Mat. 11:12; "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field;" and "the field is the world..." Mat. 13:24, 38 I am the Lord... who stretches out the heavens all alone, who spreads abroad (raqa) the earth by Myself  Isa. 44:24 "And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven" Mat. 16:19 [and 18:18] Etymology of Raqia: The word raqia relates to raqa as sharia (law) relates to shara'a (to ordain or decree). Further, the ancient Middle East commonly ended names in "ia," and in this particular example of early Hebrew usage, raqia, though not a proper name, is the name for something created by raqa. (Atheist Brett Palmer, though not especially reliable, does specifically agree with this explanation in his follow-up video.) Pillars of Heaven: Regarding the crust of the Earth being referred to as heaven, consider the "pillars" which formed beneath the crust, as Dr. Brown describes it, at many "locations, the [subterranean] chamber's sagging ceiling pressed against the chamber's floor. These solid contacts will be called pillars." Thus since they supported the Earth's surface, they could be referred to as "pillars of heaven", just beneath the surface, which would "tremble" when they were crushed in God's judgment of the great flood of Noah's day, When God, "stirs up the sea with His power", as Job put it. "He drew a circular horizon on the face of the waters, at the boundary of light and darkness. The pillars of heaven tremble... He stirs up the sea with His power..." (Job 26:10-12). Earth's Foundation with Pillars Sunk into their Bases: This doesn't have to confuse Bible students. This five-minute segment at 1:04:22 depicts the pillars. Just click and the video will start at the correct point... * No One Before Or Since? Palmer says, virtually alleging omniscience for himself, that "no one before or since Enyart has ever asserted that two firmaments were created in the creation story." However, the nearly contemporaneous Babylonian creation epic states directly that heaven above and the "firm ground below" were called by the same name, that is, "heaven." First though consider Google. The claim then is that the term firmament refers to sky and space, and also to the sphere of the world. So, as the originator of this concept :) that firmament has two meanings, I am gratified that it's catching on. The Google results for "define:firmament" gives two meanings: The heavens or the sky, esp. when regarded as a tangible thing A sphere or world viewed as a collection of people * Not Half Bad and Not Half Right: Hey, for Google, that's not half bad, for the firmament (the Earth's surface) was called heaven so that Adam and Eve could be fruitful and multiply and fill the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. Then regarding Palmer's claim that, "no one before or since Enyart has ever asserted that two firmaments were created," Dr. Brown's book credits "two pastors" with showing him this simple heaven-on-earth understanding of Genesis 1:8. The pastor before me later publishing a book on the topic: Paradise: Past, Present, and Future, and of course since then, Walt Brown too has adopted this understanding. >* Babylonian Creation Epic: The ancient pagan world had a corrupted memory of biblical accounts. Compare for example Egypt's sun god arising out of the waters of creation with, "God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, 'Let there be light.'" Likewise the flood of Noah's day is remembered in Babylon's Epic of Gilgamesh. Also, the seven tablets of Enuma Elish similarities to the seven days of the creation week include man's creation on the sixth day which is presented on the sixth tablet. The first creation tablet describes the "waters commingling as a single body" when "no marsh land had [yet] appeared", reminiscent of the firmament dividing the waters (Gen. 1:6-7) and the dry land appearing (Gen. 1:9). The truth reported by Moses in Genesis 1:8a, that God called the firmament heaven (referring to the crust of the Earth, i.e., God's kingdom of heaven, on Earth) is emphasized in the first lines of the first Babylonian creation tablet which state, "When on high the heaven had not been named, Firm ground below had not been called by that name." That is, before the term "heaven" even applied to sky and space, before that not even the firmament below had yet been called that same name, i.e., heaven. (This translation, "firm ground below had not [yet] been called by that name", appears in old-earth Oxford Prof. John Lennox' book Seven Days that Divide the World. Importantly, after discussing this matter personally with Dr. Lennox, RSR can report that he does not agree with our Genesis 1:8 interpretation, so in no way would he publish a biased translation to make our point.) For as Moses wrote, "God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament... And God called the firmament Heaven... Then God said, '...let the dry land appear.'" So whereas atheist video maker Palmer (see above) says that "no one before or since Enyart has ever asserted that two firmaments were created in the creation story", Brett can now consider that this Babylonian Enuma Elish creation epic parallels the Hydroplate Theory's understanding of the firmament as referring also, and originally, to the "firm ground below" the heavens. And thus, because God raqa the Earth, by creating the raqia, that is, the solid rock crust of the Earth, therefore, the etymology of the English word rock can now be traced back much further than the medieval Latin rocca. Not surprisingly then, studying geography we find that root word in the names of various ancient places in the region. For example, in 2015 Raqqa hit the headlines as the capital city of the Islamic terrorist group ISIS. An accurate understanding of Genesis is essential for understanding early history. Thus we can now trace the etymology of our English word rock to that very Epic of Gilgamesh flood account, with Gilgamesh being the king of Uruk, located in the south of the modern nation with a name that means "deeply rooted, well-watered", for God placed the water deep under the raqia which explains the name of the ancient place, Iraq. (See also Bob's draft comments on the Enuma text.) * Countries, Regions, and Peoples Ending in A and IA: Why do so many place names end in ia? God raqa the raqia to give mankind a place to live on the face of the Earth. In the web's most complete list of place names that end in ia, see about 120 significant geographical regions that end with -a or -ia, and others that sound like they end in ia, like Kenya and Libya. (RSR maintains this list.) Consider also, not unlike the city of Raqqa and the country of Iraq, the continent of Africa may have a related etymology, and consider also that in Arabic afar means dust, earth. And the names of many lands that do not end in -ia, as Egypt, still give a nod to the suffix when referencing their people, as with Egyptian, Akkadian, Persian, and the more modern Caucasian, with -ian equating also to the -yan as discussed at rsr.org/yan such as Aryan (meaning from the Sun land).* Seven-Day Week: The worldwide use of a seven-day week results from the creation account. And those seven days are named for the heavenly bodies (Saturn, Sun, Moon, etc.) as God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years." (On a related topic we interviewed Scientific American editor and atheist Michael Shermer for Real Science Radio. That full show is so much fun to listen to.) "Dr. Shermer, while much of the ancient world was worshiping heavenly bodies, could you at least agree that the Bible is correct on page one, where it states that the Sun is a light?" [Moses was correct also when he taught in Deuteronomy that the planets and stars are not gods and should not be worshiped.] "So can you agree that the Bible is correct in Genesis chapter one, that the Sun is not a god, but a light?" To which Shermer infamously replied, which you can hear in this 73-second excerpt (and transcript) that the sun is not a light. Wow. It's often difficult to have a reasonable discussion with atheists. Also, the worldwide use of blood sacrifices resulted from God commanding Adam and Noah to sacrifice animals prefiguring the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God. * A Solid Dome Sky Belief Widespread Yet Not Intuitive: As Wikipedia reports, "The notion of the sky as a solid object (rather than just an atmospheric expanse) was widespread among both ancient civilizations and primitive cultures, including ancient Greece, Egypt, China, India, native Americans, Australian Aborigines, and also early Christians. It is probably a universal human trait to perceive the sky as a solid dome." Retrieved 8-27-11. However, with the many varied movements in the heavens of the Sun, Moon, planets, stars, comets, and meteorites, it's not intuitive that so much of the whole world would end up believing that the Earth had a solid-domed sky. Except, of course, if the ancients who populated the world after the global flood were misunderstanding the raqia of Day Two as referring to the heavens instead of to the crust of the earth. Conclusion: So, the Bible speaks of Earth using the same term, raqia, as for the firmament "of the heavens" (clarified that way in Genesis 1). Yet when the paradise of Eden and God's Kingdom of Heaven on Earth became "filled with violence," mankind began to forget that God made earth as part of His Kingdom of heaven. Thus, what changed was the common use of the term heaven for the Earth. © 2007 - 2017 Bob Enyart, RSR.org.com * RSR's Global Flood and Hydroplate Theory: Here's our best-selling flood video which is available also on DVD, Blu-ray, and download.

I have credited Pastor Diego Rodriguez and you as the originators of this very attractive explanation. ... Thank you for sending me your explanation. -Walt" Biologos: Note that Francis Collins' theistic-evolution group BioLogos uses their misunderstanding of the firmament in their effort to diminish the authority of Genesis. For example, "Genesis... says things that are at odds with what modern people know to be true of the world... The other cosmologies from the ancient world depict some solid structure in the sky. The most natural explanation of the raqia is that it also reflects this understanding. There is no indication that Genesis is a novel description of the sky." In other words, Collins claims that Genesis' presentation of the firmament [in contrast to the biblical and historical insights above] equates to that of pagan myths. As old-earth Christians, they therefore reject the global flood and many other biblical teachings.

Unveiling the Mysteries of the Anunnaki: Exploring Their Enigmatic Presence in Mesopotamian Mythology and Their Potential Connection to Modern Society Section 1: The Anunnaki in Mesopotamian Mythology Narrator: The Anunnaki, whose name translates to "Princes of Heaven" or "Offspring of An," were the primary deities in the pantheon of ancient Mesopotamia, a region encompassing present-day Iraq, Syria, and Kuwait. These divine beings were revered as creators, protectors, and rulers of the cosmos, playing a central role in shaping the destinies of humans. Narrator: Ancient texts, such as the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Enuma Elish, depict the Anunnaki as powerful, intelligent entities, often possessing superhuman abilities and wielding immense influence over the natural world. They were responsible for the creation of Earth, the establishment of order in the cosmos, and the imparting of knowledge and civilization to humankind. Narrator: The Anunnaki were not always benevolent figures. Some myths portray them as stern taskmasters, demanding hard labor and imposing strict laws upon humans. In the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Anunnaki unleash a devastating flood upon the Earth, punishing humanity for its perceived transgressions. Section 2: The Magnetic Memory Method and the Memory Palace Narrator: As we delve deeper into the enigmatic world of the Anunnaki, let's introduce a powerful memory technique that can aid us in organizing and retaining information about these fascinating deities: the Memory Palace. Narrator: The Memory Palace, also known as the Method of Loci, is a mnemonic device that utilizes visualization and spatial memory to enhance learning and recall. By creating a mental representation of a familiar environment, such as a home or a public building, we can link information to specific locations within that space. Narrator: To apply the Memory Palace technique to the Anunnaki, we can imagine our apartment as a symbolic representation of the Mesopotamian cosmos. Each room in the apartment can represent a different aspect of Anunnaki mythology, allowing us to compartmentalize and organize information about their roles, attributes, and associated myths. Section 3: Anunnaki in Modern Society Narrator: The Anunnaki's influence extends far beyond the realm of ancient Mesopotamia. Their presence can be traced in various modern cultural phenomena, including literature, art, and even popular conspiracy theories. Narrator: Zecharia Sitchin's controversial book series, "The Earth Chronicles," proposes that the Anunnaki were extraterrestrial beings who arrived on Earth millennia ago, seeking gold and minerals. Sitchin's work has sparked a resurgence of interest in the Anunnaki, fueling debates about their origins and their potential connection to human civilization. Narrator: Whether viewed as ancient deities, extraterrestrial beings, or symbolic representations of human consciousness, the Anunnaki continue to captivate our imaginations. Their stories remind us of the enduring power of mythology to shape our understanding of the universe and our place within it. Thank you for joining us on this exploration of the Anunnaki, the enigmatic deities of Mesopotamian mythology.

October 15, 2023 Genesis Session 5 In this session Mark discusses Moses on Mount Sinai +1240 BC A close look at "Enuma Elish and "Atrahasis" The Lesson is broken down into: Bizarre Story: The implications and teaching of what and how Moses communicated his message and how we as human beings should interpret the scriptures related thereto. What Moses and the people heard was massively different and very revealing, Moses goes to the top of mount Sinai to deliver his message and communicated a message, how is unknown, which was written to Ancient Israel, in Ancient Hebrew, Ancient Vocabulary and Ancient Understanding. Mark discussed the impact on the neighboring cultures based on a current map of the area. Moses, through the power of God wrote the ten commands in stone and gave them to Israel. Text in Context: Mark discussed the surrounding neighbors of Israel such as Ugarit – gods are supersized humans The Ba ‘lu Myth Dawn and Dusk Akkadian- The Enuma Elish, also known as “The seven tablets of creation” Atrahasis- gods create lesser gods, lesser gods rebel Points for Home: Don't miss the forest for the trees. The unique awesomeness of God in his revelation and creation, Unlike any human or god. Psalms 8, Deuteronomy 10:17

Scripture Reading: Genesis 1:1-3:24 (we won't read it again, but we will discuss it) 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.2 Now the earth was without shape and empty, and darkness was over the surface of the watery deep, but the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the water. 3 God said, “Let there be light.” And there was light! 4 God saw that the light was good, so God separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day” and the darkness “night.” There was evening, and there was morning, marking the first day.6 God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters and let it separate water from water.” 7 So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. It was so. 8 God called the expanse “sky.” There was evening, and there was morning, a second day.9 God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place and let dry ground appear.” It was so. 10 God called the dry ground “land” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” God saw that it was good.11 God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: plants yielding seeds and trees on the land bearing fruit with seed in it, according to their kinds.” It was so. 12 The land produced vegetation—plants yielding seeds according to their kinds, and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. God saw that it was good. 13 There was evening, and there was morning, a third day.14 God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them be signs to indicate seasons and days and years, 15 and let them serve as lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth.” It was so. 16 God made two great lights—the greater light to rule over the day and the lesser light to rule over the night. He made the stars also. 17 God placed the lights in the expanse of the sky to shine on the earth, 18 to preside over the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good. 19 There was evening, and there was morning, a fourth day.20 God said, “Let the water swarm with swarms of living creatures and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky.” 21 God created the great sea creatures and every living and moving thing with which the water swarmed, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth.” 23 There was evening, and there was morning, a fifth day.24 God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: cattle, creeping things, and wild animals, each according to its kind.” It was so. 25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the cattle according to their kinds, and all the creatures that creep along the ground according to their kinds. God saw that it was good.26 Then God said, “Let us make humankind in our image, after our likeness, so they may rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move on the earth.”27 God created humankind in his own image,in the image of God he created them,male and female he created them.28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply! Fill the earth and subdue it! Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that moves on the ground.” 29 Then God said, “I now give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the entire earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the animals of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to all the creatures that move on the ground—everything that has living breath in it—I give every green plant for food.” It was so.31 God saw all that he had made—and it was very good! There was evening, and there was morning, the sixth day.1 The heavens and the earth were completed with everything that was in them. 2 By the seventh day God finished the work that he had been doing, and he ceased on the seventh day all the work that he had been doing. 3 God blessed the seventh day and made it holy because on it he ceased all the work that he had been doing in creation.4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created—when the Lord God made the earth and heavens.5 Now no shrub of the field had yet grown on the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, for the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the ground. 6 Springs would well up from the earth and water the whole surface of the ground. 7 The Lord God formed the man from the soil of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.8 The Lord God planted an orchard in the east, in Eden; and there he placed the man he had formed. 9 The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow from the soil, every tree that was pleasing to look at and good for food. (Now the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil were in the middle of the orchard.)10 Now a river flows from Eden to water the orchard, and from there it divides into four headstreams. 11 The name of the first is Pishon; it runs through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 (The gold of that land is pure; pearls and lapis lazuli are also there.) 13 The name of the second river is Gihon; it runs through the entire land of Cush. 14 The name of the third river is Tigris; it runs along the east side of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.15 The Lord God took the man and placed him in the orchard in Eden to care for it and to maintain it. 16 Then the Lord God commanded the man, “You may freely eat fruit from every tree of the orchard, 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will surely die.”18 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a companion for him who corresponds to him.” 19 The Lord God formed out of the ground every living animal of the field and every bird of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them, and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So the man named all the animals, the birds of the air, and the living creatures of the field, but for Adam no companion who corresponded to him was found. 21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and while he was asleep, he took part of the man's side and closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the part he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. 23 Then the man said,“This one at last is bone of my bonesand flesh of my flesh;this one will be called ‘woman,'for she was taken out of man.”24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and unites with his wife, and they become one family. 25 The man and his wife were both naked, but they were not ashamed.1 Now the serpent was shrewder than any of the wild animals that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Is it really true that God said, ‘You must not eat from any tree of the orchard'?” 2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit from the trees of the orchard; 3 but concerning the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the orchard God said, ‘You must not eat from it, and you must not touch it, or else you will die.'” 4 The serpent said to the woman, “Surely you will not die, 5 for God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will open and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”6 When the woman saw that the tree produced fruit that was good for food, was attractive to the eye, and was desirable for making one wise, she took some of its fruit and ate it. She also gave some of it to her husband who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them opened, and they knew they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God moving about in the orchard at the breezy time of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the orchard. 9 But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?” 10 The man replied, “I heard you moving about in the orchard, and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.” 11 And the Lord God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Did you eat from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?” 12 The man said, “The woman whom you gave me, she gave me some fruit from the tree and I ate it.” 13 So the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” And the woman replied, “The serpent tricked me, and I ate.”14 The Lord God said to the serpent,“Because you have done this,cursed are you above all the cattleand all the living creatures of the field!On your belly you will crawland dust you will eat all the days of your life.15 And I will put hostility between you and the womanand between your offspring and her offspring;he will strike your head,and you will strike his heel.”16 To the woman he said,“I will greatly increase your labor pains;with pain you will give birth to children.You will want to control your husband,but he will dominate you.”17 But to Adam he said,“Because you obeyed your wifeand ate from the tree about which I commanded you,‘You must not eat from it,'the ground is cursed because of you;in painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you,but you will eat the grain of the field.19 By the sweat of your brow you will eat fooduntil you return to the ground,for out of it you were taken;for you are dust, and to dust you will return.”20 The man named his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all the living. 21 The Lord God made garments from skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them. 22 And the Lord God said, “Now that the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil, he must not be allowed to stretch out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” 23 So the Lord God expelled him from the orchard in Eden to cultivate the ground from which he had been taken. 24 When he drove the man out, he placed on the eastern side of the orchard in Eden angelic sentries who used the flame of a whirling sword to guard the way to the tree of life.Main ThemesInitial RemarksLet's Come Together (Finally!)If the last two weeks of the Bible study have been divisive, I hope that this week brings us all back together. During those two sessions, I suggested the possibility that the early chapters of Genesis are figurative. Nevertheless, I asserted repeatedly that they are true. Today, I want to focus on those truths embedded in the narrative. What is Genesis teaching us? And here's the surprising part: even if you adamantly disagree with me and believe the text is meant to be taken completely literally, or if you land somewhere in between, I think we will agree on the main lessons taught by the text. They stand mostly independently of the figurative versus literal debate.A Minimum Facts PresentationBefore we jump into the substantive portion of our discussion, I want to make one important clarification. The purpose of my dive into Genesis is to establish a Christian worldview. We are not engaging in an exhaustive exploration of every textual and theological issue. So, the discussion today will be a sort of “minimum facts” presentation. That is, I want to highlight the most basic lessons in the text with which virtually every Christian agrees. I will not delve into every possible conclusion that can be drawn from the text, although that would be very interesting. And, as always, participants are free to discuss anything I did not include in my presentation. So, again, the list below is not an exhaustive list of the points made by the first three chapters of Genesis, much less by the entire book. It is more of a “top four.”Genesis v/s Enuma ElishI think that a good way to explore the worldview presented by Genesis is to compare the biblical text to the Enuma Elish, the ancient Babylonian creation myth. (You can find it here.) The Enuma Elish is fairly representative of many Ancient Near East myths, so it provides a great backdrop against which Genesis shows its distinctive outline. (I am not necessarily embracing or rejecting the view that Genesis is a polemic against other Ancient Near Eastern myths. I simply find the comparison to be helpful.)One God—No Theomachy, No Theogony, No Deicide Listen the words of the Enuma Elish:1 When the heavens above did not exist,2 And earth beneath had not come into being —3 There was Apsû, the first in order, their begetter,4 And demiurge Tia-mat, who gave birth to them all;5 They had mingled their waters together6 Before meadow-land had coalesced and reed-bed was to be found —7 When not one of the gods had been formed8 Or had come into being, when no destinies had been decreed,9 The gods were created within them:10 Lah(mu and Lah(amu were formed and came into being.11 While they grew and increased in stature12 Anšar and Kišar, who excelled them, were created.13 They prolonged their days, they multiplied their years.14 Anu, their son, could rival his fathers.15 Anu, the son, equalled Anšar,16 And Anu begat Nudimmud, his own equal.17 Nudimmud was the champion among his fathers:18 Profoundly discerning, wise, of robust strength;19 Very much stronger than his father's begetter, Anšar20 He had no rival among the gods, his brothers.21 The divine brothers came together,22 Their clamour got loud, throwing Tia-mat into a turmoil.23 They jarred the nerves of Tia-mat,24 And by their dancing they spread alarm in Anduruna.25 Apsû did not diminish their clamour,26 And Tia-mat was silent when confronted with them.27 Their conduct was displeasing to her,28 Yet though their behaviour was not good, she wished to spare them.29 Thereupon Apsû, the begetter of the great gods,30 Called Mummu, his vizier, and addressed him,31 "Vizier Mummu, who gratifies my pleasure,32 Come, let us go to Tia-mat!"33 They went and sat, facing Tia-mat,34 As they conferred about the gods, their sons.35 Apsû opened his mouth36 And addressed Tia-mat37 "Their behaviour has become displeasing to me38 And I cannot rest in the day-time or sleep at night.39 I will destroy and break up their way of life40 That silence may reign and we may sleep."41 When Tia-mat heard this42 She raged and cried out to her spouse,43 She cried in distress, fuming within herself,44 She grieved over the (plotted) evil,45 "How can we destroy what we have given birth to?46 Though their behaviour causes distress, let us tighten discipline graciously."47 Mummu spoke up with counsel for Apsû—48 (As from) a rebellious vizier was the counsel of his Mummu—49 "Destroy, my father, that lawless way of life,50 That you may rest in the day-time and sleep by night!"51 Apsû was pleased with him, his face beamed52 Because he had plotted evil against the gods, his sons.53 Mummu put his arms around Apsû's neck,54 He sat on his knees kissing him.55 What they plotted in their gathering56 Was reported to the gods, their sons.57 The gods heard it and were frantic.58 They were overcome with silence and sat quietly.59 Ea, who excels in knowledge, the skilled and learned,60 Ea, who knows everything, perceived their tricks.61 He fashioned it and made it to be all-embracing,62 He executed it skilfully as supreme—his pure incantation.63 He recited it and set it on the waters,64 He poured sleep upon him as he was slumbering deeply.65 He put Apsû to slumber as he poured out sleep,66 And Mummu, the counsellor, was breathless with agitation.67 He split (Apsû's) sinews, ripped off his crown,68 Carried away his aura and put it on himself.69 He bound Apsû and killed him;Notice how this ancient myth sounds nothing like Genesis. It immediately greets us with multiple gods (Apsû, the first in order, and the demiurge Tia-mat). Other gods are subsequently created. A genealogy of gods is called a theogony, and it was common to ancient myths. Genesis, however, has no genealogy. At most, in Genesis, when God speaks he uses a plural form—like maybe he is addressing a crowd. This has led some scholars to posit a heavenly council. But there is no god other than God—Yahweh.The Enuma Elish tells the story not only of multiple gods but of their animosity. A conflict between the gods arises. A war between the gods is called theomachy. This is also common to ancient myths. Finally, the gods' quarrel ends in the death of a god—deicide. If we continue reading, we would learn that creation itself is the result of this rivalry between the gods and their death.What do we find in Genesis? None of that!In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1In the beginning there is no two anything. There are no two gods opposing one another. There is not even an impersonal dualism like a ying and yang. There is no good and evil. There is only good. And this good is not some mystical goodness, like a force or energy or “waters,” but a good God—a personal being.This is one of the most shocking and powerful lessons from Genesis—monotheism! And, if we are willing to take more of scripture into account, we could go as far as to say that it is “perfect being monotheism.” This means that there's not only one God, but that God is perfect. He is all powerful and morally perfect. I think that this “perfect being theology” is key to a robust conception of “good.” A theology that includes multiple gods will generally fail the Euthyphro Dilemma: “Is the good good because God approves it, or does God approve it because it's good?” A theology with no gods (atheism or some form of dualism) makes goodness accidental—it is a robust fact that could be different—and cannot account for moral duties. It is only when goodness is grounded in a necessary being that what is good could never be otherwise and goodness becomes personal such that it can give moral duties to others.God is Not Like NatureAgain, hear the words of the Enuma Elish:49 [Marduk] gathered [Tia-mat's foam] together and made it into clouds.50 The raging of the winds, violent rainstorms,51 The billowing of mist—the accumulation of her spittle—52 He appointed for himself and took them in his hand.53 He put her head in position and poured out . . [ . . ] .54 He opened the abyss and it was sated with water.55 From her two eyes he let the Euphrates and Tigris flow,57 He heaped up the distant [mountains] on her breasts,58 He bored wells to channel the springs.59 He twisted her tail and wove it into the Durmah,61 [He set up] her crotch—it wedged up the heavens—62 [(Thus) the half of her] he stretched out and made it firm as the earth.In the Babylonian story, the clouds, the wind, the rainstorms, the rivers, the mountains, and much of creation is a part of or physically connected with Tiamat's body. Notice the connection between the gods and creation—they might not be entirely the same but they are not entirely distinct either.What do we find in Genesis?God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters and let it separate water from water.” Genesis 1:6God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place and let dry ground appear.” Genesis 1:9God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: plants yielding seeds and trees on the land bearing fruit with seed in it, according to their kinds.” Genesis 1:11God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them be signs to indicate seasons and days and years . . . .” Genesis 1:14I could quote more verses, but I think the point is clear. God is not like creation. Creation is not made of God. It is made by God. God simply speaks creation into being. God transcends it. The creator who makes things good exists even if nothing else exists and would exists if all stopped existing. He is the beginning and the end.Nature is Not SpiritualAlthough the Enuma Elish story does not contain as many spirits of nature as other Ancient Near Eastern myths, we still have a clear example. Listen to this:11 He placed the heights (of heaven) in her (Tia-mat's) belly,12 He created Nannar, entrusting to him the night.13 He appointed him as the jewel of the night to fix the days,14 And month by month without ceasing he elevated him with a crown,15 (Saying,) "Shine over the land at the beginning of the month,16 Resplendent with horns to fix six days.17 On the seventh day the crown will be half size,18 On the fifteenth day, halfway through each month, stand in opposition.19 When Šamaš [sees] you on the horizon,20 Diminish in the proper stages and shine backwards.In the Enuma Elish, night is a personal god. Night does not behave according to some natural principle. Night only comes and stays for as long as it does because the god of night is following orders. Presumably, the god of night could be enticed to disobey. Is all of nature like this? (For purposes of this discussion I am not including animals or humans in the definition of nature.) Is there a spirit of the waters? Is there a spirit of the sky? Are the flowers sprites and the trees dryads? Does everything around us behave as it does because a personal being—a spirit—is choosing to behave a certain way? The implications of these questions are staggering.Perhaps we scoff at the idea that nature is personal and spiritual, but we shouldn't. Not because I think that it is true but because it is the worldview that was held by nearly everyone in the ancient world and many (perhaps most) people still hold it today. If anything, the idea that nature is “non-spiritual” is not the rule but the exception. If to the belief in a non-spiritual natural world you you add the belief that nature was created by a mind—a mind not entirely unlike ours—then you have an entirely peculiar worldview. That is the worldview of Genesis.The Christian, non-spiritual, intelligible understanding of creation is distinctive and has shaped the modern world. For example, it is foundational and necessary for science. This is the reason that many historians (Christian and non-Christian alike) agree that science is an outgrowth of Christian theology. Here's how an article explains the connection between Genesis and science, which, if overly simplistic, gets the point across:1. Laws Up AboveThe ancient Chinese had incredible technology, but not science as we know it. Why? Because while they were intelligent, they did not believe in a Higher Intelligence—not in the Bible's sense. They didn't think there were ever-present, always-applicable laws of nature that governed the universe. They went out into the world and tamed it through technology, but they didn't seek to press into the deeper laws of the universe.That's because they didn't have Genesis 1. They didn't believe that “In the beginning, God.” They didn't believe that through his Word an ordered cosmos was created that shows all the hallmarks of dependable regularities—seasons and spheres with boundaries and signs in the sky, all going round and round, evening and morning, evening and morning. . . .2. World Out ThereThe ancient Greeks were smart cookies. All philosophy is a footnote to Plato, as they say. Philosophy, mathematics, art, and literature were all spheres of excellence for the Greeks. Science? Not so much, because science requires you to believe in a stable and predictable world out there that's open to investigation. Science occurs when you make repeatable observations and check your theories against the cold, hard facts. But Greeks didn't believe in cold, hard facts. They believed in minds and reason and laws but not in empirical investigation. For them, study entailed a journey within the mind, not a venture out into the field. So, no science.3. Minds In HereIf human minds are the product of mindless operations that only honored survival, not intelligence (the two aren't at all synonymous), then why should we trust our minds to understand the laws up above and the world out there? If we're the product of the cosmos and part of the cosmos with no higher calling than to pass on our genes, why trust a brain that whirs away according to its own survival imperative?If you really want confidence in the scientific endeavor, turn to Genesis 1, where humanity is specially created in relationship with the Orderer above and the world out there. . . .Another website summarizes the same principles as follows:Nearly all scientists today, regardless of their religious beliefs, believe a certain set of foundational principles which make it possible for them to do science. Some of these common basic beliefs include:(1) Human beings can understand the natural world at least in part.(2) Nature typically operates with regular, repeatable, universal patterns of cause and effect so things that we learn in the lab here today will also hold true half way around the world a week from now. (3) It's not enough to sit and theorize how the world ought to work, we actually have to test our theories; science is a worthwhile pursuit.These beliefs seem obvious today, but for most of human history, many people did not hold all those beliefs. For example, animists who believe that gods or spirits inhabit many aspect of the physical world might doubt that nature operates on regular, repeatable, universal patterns of cause and effect; instead they would believe that nature is controlled by gods and spirits who need to be appeased or manipulated by ritual. Or for a very different example, some of the most brilliant philosophers of the ancient world did not see the need to do experiments because they thought it was possible to derive from logic and first principles how the world ought to behave.Allow me to explain the last statement in the quotation above. The Greeks, for example, believed that the universe had to be modeled by elegant abstract principles, such as geometry, which were discoverable only through thought. So, they assumed that the orbits of planets had to be circular. The Christian worldview recognizes that the universe was made by a mind—a mind that could have created the world this way or that way. Because the creator had options, much like an artist does, we can not simply assume that the world is a certain way. We must discover what that mind decided.Man in the Image of GodThe Enuma Elish is one of the least outrageous Ancient Near Eastern myths when it comes to the creation of mankind, but it repeats a common theme:1 When Marduk heard the gods' speech2 He conceived a desire to accomplish clever things.3 He opened his mouth addressing Ea,4 He counsels that which he had pondered in his heart,5 "I will bring together blood to form bone,6 I will bring into being Lullû, whose name shall be 'man'.7 I will create Lullû—man8 On whom the toil of the gods will be laid that they may rest.In the Babylonian creation myth, why is man created? So that the “toil of the gods will be laid” on him. You might remember that last week I mentioned an Egyptian myth that answers the question similarly. Here is how scholar John Walton discusses that Egyptian myth within the broader context of Mesopotamian myths:[I]n Mesopotamian traditions people are created to serve the gods by doing the work that the gods are tired of doing. Turning again to KAR 4, "the corvée of the gods will be their corvée: They will fix the boundaries of the fields once and for all, and take in their hands hoes and baskets, to benefit the House of the great gods." The labor that had been required for the gods to meet their own needs was drudgery, so people were expected to fill that gap and work to meet those needs.In Genesis, why is man created?Then God said, “Let us make humankind in our image, after our likeness, so they may rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move on the earth.”God created humankind in his own image,in the image of God he created them,male and female he created them.God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply! Fill the earth and subdue it! (Genesis 1:26-28a)This is shocking and remarkable! Man is created to be like God (at least in some sense), to rule the earth, and to be fruitful and multiply. I will discuss each of these points in reverse order.Be Fruitful and MultiplyAccording to Genesis, to marry and have children is integral to being human. Marriage is the very reason that God has made us male and female.So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and while he was asleep, he took part of the man's side and closed up the place with flesh. Then the Lord God made a woman from the part he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. Then the man said,“This one at last is bone of my bonesand flesh of my flesh;this one will be called ‘woman,'for she was taken out of man.”That is why a man leaves his father and mother and unites with his wife, and they become one family. The man and his wife were both naked, but they were not ashamed. (Genesis 2:21-25)To be clear, there are several New Testament verses that make clear that marriage is not a moral duty—one has not sinned for remaining single. However, sadly, this caveat has started acting like the exception that swallows the rule. The Apostle Paul, the one who spoke of marriage and singleness this way, did not suggest singleness as a mere alternative to marriage. Listen to the following verses from 1 Corinthians:I say this as a concession, not as a command. I wish that everyone was as I am. But each has his own gift from God, one this way, another that.To the unmarried and widows I say that it is best for them to remain as I am. But if they do not have self-control, let them get married. For it is better to marry than to burn with sexual desire. (1 Corinthians 7:6-9) And I want you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the things of the Lord, how to please the Lord. But a married man is concerned about the things of the world, how to please his wife, and he is divided. An unmarried woman or a virgin is concerned about the things of the Lord, to be holy both in body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the things of the world, how to please her husband. I am saying this for your benefit, not to place a limitation on you, but so that without distraction you may give notable and constant service to the Lord. (1 Corinthians 7:32-35)He who is single can focus exclusively on ministry. This is a gift. This does not override the fact, “It is not good for the man to be alone” (Genesis 2:18)! I know that much more can be said about this topic and forgive me if I am painting with too broad a stroke, but the fact that marriage and childbearing is part of God's plan for us is unmistakable in the Genesis narrative.Rule the EarthOur modern, egalitarian, environmentalist sensibilities are sure to be offended by the idea that we are to rule and subdue the earth. However, this idea is not as ominous as it sounds. As a website explains:God's command to subdue the earth and the animal life in it is a command to have the mastery over all of it. A true mastery (of anything) cannot be accomplished without an understanding of the thing mastered. In order for a musician to master the violin, he or she must truly understand the instrument. In order for mankind to attain mastery over the animal kingdom, we must understand the animals.With the authority to rule comes the responsibility to rule well. There is an inherent accountability in the command to subdue the earth. Man has a duty to exercise his dominion under the authority of the One who delegated it. All authority is of God (Romans 13:1-5), and He delegates it to whomever He will (Daniel 4:17). The word subdue doesn't have to imply violence or mistreatment. It can mean “to bring under cultivation.”Man is to be the steward of the earth; he is to bring the material world and all of its varied elements into the service of God and the good of mankind. The command to subdue the earth is actually part of God's blessing on mankind. Created in the image of God, Adam and Eve were to use the earth's vast resources in the service of both God and themselves. It would only make sense for God to decree this, since only humans were created in God's image.The Imago DeiWe are made in the “image of God”—which in theology is often referred to by the Latin phrase imago Dei. What does that mean? I could spend an entire session of our study answering this question. Different theologians give different answers. But, because this is a primer in Genesis, I think that presenting the mainstream position is sufficient. Besides, and rather ironically, it is the mainstream position that is often most misunderstood. Fair warning though, I will go a little beyond the text in Genesis to discuss this topic.What makes a person a person? Even Christians will answer with something like the ability to reason. That is not entirely wrong, but I am sure you can immediately think of examples that work as counterarguments. What about a human being that is in a comma? What about a fetus? What about someone who is asleep? Neither of these three humans can reason, so they are not persons. Taken to its logical conclusion, killing a human in their sleep is not murder. No person was killed.So, what gives? Can we give a better explanation of the imago Dei? I think so. To be a person is to be a rational soul. To explain this further, I will quote extensively from a 2003 paper by Dennis Sullivan (emphases are my own):Empirical functionalism is the view that human personhood may be defined by a set of functions or abilities. Such abilities must be present in actual, not potential form. The classical expression of this view is that of Joseph Fletcher who in 1972 outlined twenty criteria for human personhood. These included such hallmarks as minimum intelligence, self-awareness, a sense of time, and the capacity to relate to others (Fletcher, 1972). In response, Michael Tooley weighed in with the idea of self-awareness (1972), and McCormick with the concept of “relational potential,” based on the ability to interact socially with others (1974). Fletcher then decided, based on feedback from these and other writers, that the sine qua non for human personhood was neocortical functioning (Fletcher, 1974). Neocortical functions are those “higher brain” processes of the cerebral cortex necessary for active consciousness and volition. This should be contrasted with whole-brain functioning, which includes activities of the brainstem as well as the cortex.…Functionalists would extend the above argument to deny personhood to the unborn child, since she lacks rationality or self-awareness. However, by this criterion, one could argue that adults also lack self-awareness when asleep or under anesthesia, yet no one questions their personhood during such moments. One way to circumvent this objection is to use Tooley's idea that only “continuing selves” have personhood, which includes both self-awareness and a sense of the future (Tooley, 1983). This would nonetheless deny personhood to the unborn and justify abortion on that basis.Michael Tooley, and more recently, the Princeton philosophy professor Peter Singer, have both advocated the next logical step: infanticide (Veith, 1998). If the fetus has no right to personhood because it is not yet self-aware, then neither does the newborn: “Infanticide before the onset of self-awareness . . . cannot threaten anyone who is in a position to worry about it” (Singer, 1985, p. 138).…Ontological personalism states that all human beings are human persons. On this view, the intrinsic quality of personhood begins at conception and is present throughout life (O'Mathuna, 1996). Such individuals are not potential persons or “becoming” persons; they are persons by their very nature. There is no such thing as a potential person or a human non-person.In order to understand this it will be helpful to reflect on the worldview assumptions that underlie both personhood views. Since the Enlightenment, society in general has been dominated by a high regard for science and the secular tradition of naturalism. Naturalism is the concept that only observable data has reality. A scientist who adheres to this view is free to have any metaphysical or philosophical opinion he would like, as long as it does not influence his practice. In other words, he need not hold to naturalism as a philosophy, but he must adhere to it in his methodology (Plantinga, 1997). However, the Christian scientific community should not be bound by the constraints of methodological naturalism. Herein lies the tension between the two ideas of personhood. The influence of naturalism has led secular science away from a reverence for life, replacing it with a reductionism that claims the human organism is no more than the sum of its chemical parts. The empirical functionalism idea of personhood is compatible with this view, which makes man simply a collection of parts and functions, or a property-thing. Put together enough chemical molecules in the right way, and you have a human being; put another set of parts together, and you have a 1957 Chrysler. Philosophically, it makes no difference.Ontological personalism, on the other hand, is based on the premise that a human being is a substance. A substance is a distinct unity of essence that exists ontologically prior to any of its parts. This traditional concept dates back to Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas. This view has been well summarized by the Christian philosopher J. P. Moreland (1995), and is discussed in great detail in the book Body and Soul (Moreland & Rae, 2000). For this review, I will focus on two implications of the idea of substance: the parts v. whole distinction, and continuity.To expand on my earlier illustration of a classic automobile, consider a nicely restored 1957 Chrysler. Many of the original parts have rusted away and have been replaced, so that this vintage car is a collection of old and new. Although many will refer to it as the same car as when it was new, intuition tells us that this is not the case. In fact, as stated earlier, remove the wheels, the motor, the seats, and the body, and the result is no longer a 1957 Chrysler; it is not even a car. To go still further, imagine adding other parts to the original chassis, such that the result(God forbid) is a1972Volkswagen Beetle! There was no continuity of essence between the two vehicles; each is nothing more than a collection of parts (my apologies to VW lovers).Try to do the same kind of thought experiment on a human being. Remove an arm or a leg from John Doe, and he remains a person, in fact, the same person. You can amputate all of John's extremities and even remove many internal organs; as long as he remains alive, his substance will never change. You can even “add new parts,” by transplanting organs from other persons, yet John Doe will never become James Smith; his substance is not defined by his component parts. He will always remain the same person.…Naturalism has its greatest difficulty here. To hold to a property-thing view of persons is to deny the commonsense understanding of personal continuity, with a host of attendant problems for law and morality.…I might add that this view is also compatible with biblical teaching on the image of God. It allows us to explore the way human beings resemble the Divine (rationality, volition, social nature, etc.), while helping us to avoid the dangers of a strictly functional definition. On this view, the image of God is intrinsic to the nature of persons. Thus, Scripture teaches the value of man from the womb, whereas intuition and philosophy help us to affirm that such valuation begins at conception.The philosophical idea of a human being as substance arises out of a broader philosophical principle, that of substance dualism. Substance dualism holds that there is an entity called a soul, and that the mind is a faculty of the soul. Body and soul (mind) are functionally holistic, which means that the two entities are deeply integrated and functionally interdependent. Yet they are ontologically separate, which means that the soul can exist independently of the body. This allows for a personal existence after death (Moreland & Rae, 2000). Another implication of this idea is that if personhood begins at conception, then that is when the soul originates as well.The Original Plan Was Good but then…the FallAuthor Sandra Richter in The Epic of Eden describes God's original intent by pointing out that the creation narrative is not complete in six days—there is a seventh day. On that day God rests. Creation is as intended so God may stop to rule overall. With that in mind, Richter concludes:In sum, Genesis 1 tells us of God's first, perfect plan—a flawlessly ordered world infused with balance and productivity. Here every rock, plant and animal had its own designated place within God's design, a God-ordained space in which each could thrive, reproduce and serve the good of the whole. And we see from the structure of Genesis 1 that the force that held this peaceful and productive cohabitation in balance was Yahweh's sovereignty over all. But as Day 6b makes clear, God chose to manage this creation through his representative ʾAdām. Thus humanity is given all authority to protect, maintain and develop God's great gift under God's ultimate authority. This is who Yahweh is, who humanity is and how both relate to the creation. And regardless of how you choose to harmonize science and Bible, this message is clearly part of the intent of Genesis 1. I would say it is the primary intent.Then Richter makes the connection to the repeating theme of the entire book of Genesis: covenant.You may have noticed that my description of Genesis 1 sounds a lot like the relationship between a vassal and his suzerain; a relationship in which the vassal is given full autonomy within the confines of his overlord's authority. When this reading of Genesis 1 is wedded to Genesis 2, the profile of covenant becomes even clearer. Here the suzerain (Yahweh) offers his vassals (Adam and Eve) the land grant of Eden with the stipulation that humanity care for it and protect it.Then the LORD God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate [ ʿābad] and keep it [šāmar]. (Gen 2:15)In addition to this perfect place, Adam and Eve are given each other (Gen 2:18-25), and as is implied by Genesis 3:8, they are given full access to their loving Creator. The only corner of the garden which was not theirs to use and enjoy was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil:From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die. (Gen 2:16-17)In essence, Adam and Eve are free to do anything except decide for themselves what is good and what is evil. Yahweh reserves the right (and the responsibility) to name those truths himself. (Emphasis added)This was Adam and Eve's perfect world. Not just fruit and fig leaves, but an entire race of people stretching their cognitive and creative powers to the limit to build a society of balance and justice and joy. Here the sons of Adam and the daughters of Eve would learn life at the feet of the Father, build their city in the shadow of the Almighty, create and design and expand within the protective confines of his kingdom. The blessing of this gift? A civilization without greed, malice or envy; progress without pollution, expansion without extinction. Can you imagine it? . . . This was God's perfect plan: the people of God in the place of God dwelling in the presence of God. Yet, as with all covenants, God's perfect plan was dependent on the choice of the vassal. Humanity must willingly submit to the plan of God. The steward must choose this world; for in God's perfect plan, the steward had been given the authority to reject it.But then the fall came. And, surprisingly, then redemption came too.God's perfect plan (and humanity's perfect world) was a matter of choice. Did ʾAdām want this world? Or one of their own making? The ones made in the image of God could not be forced or coerced, but instead were called upon to choose their sovereign. And choose they did. Whenever I think of this moment, the lyrics of Don Francisco's old folk song echo in my mind: “And all their unborn children die as both of them bow down to Satan's hand.”16 God's original intent was sabotaged by humanity, stolen by the Enemy. ʾAdām rejected the covenant, and all the cosmos trembled. Genesis 2:17 makes it painfully clear what the consequences of such an insurrection would be: in that day, “you shall surely die.” But amazingly, mercifully, even though Yahweh had every right to wipe out our rebellious race, he chose another course—redemption. In a move that continues to confound me, God spared the lives of Adam and Eve (and their unborn children) by redirecting the fury of the curse toward another—the battered flesh of his own Son. This is the one the New Testament knows as “the last Adam” (Rom 5:14; 1 Cor 15:22, 45). And although the first Adam did not die, the second surely did. But we are getting ahead of ourselves.Conclusion—A Personal NoteWhen I read Genesis, I am astounded. I am not attempting to be overly dramatic or sentimental, but Genesis is so true I can hardly believe it. It paints a picture I cannot deny: Nature is just that. Yet it is curiously intelligible. But it is not divine. The divine things, like goodness, seem to transcend nature but not be less real than it. If nothing else, goodness seems more real. Whereas nature could not exist, goodness seems necessary. Man seems to be like nature but also somewhat divine. Something about man is not like the animals or anything else. Man and nature seem beautiful, yet both seem broken. Is this not truly our experience?

Some consider it biblical fan fiction, others an important addendum to the bible. In Ethiopia they include it in their bible. I was asked by a few people to read the book of Enoch, it is certainly a little different to read this on the channel but why not, lets see what we can learn from it. Found in the Qumran caves of the Dead Sea Scrolls (Qumran Cave 4) and presumed to be written before 170 BC, chapters 1-36 of 1 Enoch are also referred to as ‘The Book of the Watchers.' These passages are also known to incorporate portions of the ‘Book of Noah.'The theme of the Watchers is final judgment and incorporates the expository background of one of the most spectacularly glossed-over, overlooked, and misunderstood Scriptures in the Bible – Genesis 6:1-4. The “sons of God” referred to in Genesis 6:2 are explained in detail in The Book of the Watchers. These Watchers were supposed to be “watching' the earth as part of their heavenly ministry, but instead they transgressed and became fallen angels. How did they become fallen angels? They saw that women on earth were pleasant to look at and schemed/colluded to somehow incarnate themselves (literally celestial or, dare we say, ‘extraterrestrial' beings manifesting in some kind of physical form) in order to impregnate women and corrupt the bloodline of humans. What can we make of this book, well see for yourself. 

Our summer series focusing on the creation story from the beginning of Genesis continued. Dr. Christopher Hays, president of Scholar Leaders, joined us this Sunday. He shared the Babylonian creation story, the "Enuma Elish," comparing and contrasting it with the biblical creation story. The Enuma Elish provides insight into how the contemporaries of the ancient Israelites would have understood and told the story of the universe. The biblical creation account serves as a better model for interreligious engagement than our current model of rhetorical and sometimes military warfare.
