NL Holmes - Flowers of Evil: Hani's Daughter Mystery Series Book 1. This is episode 743 of Teaching Learning Leading K12.  N.L. Holmes is an award-winning novelist embarking on another significant career phase. Prior to taking up the power of writing and using this pen name, she was an accomplished archaeologist and teacher for 25 years. Early in her career, she served as a nun for two decades. In between, she was an artist and antiques dealer. Yes, she has lived an interesting life and the sum of her experiences informs and inspires her writings today. Born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas, she attended The University of Texas in the honors program but dropped out midway to enter into the antiques business. Two years later, she entered the Discalced Carmelite convent in Texas. She left the convent 20 years later and returned to school to get her B.A. in Classical Studies. Holmes, who earned her doctorate in Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology from Bryn Mawr College despite an offer to attend Princeton, has excavated in Greece and Israel, and also did archaeological artwork for excavations from Lebanon. She taught ancient history and humanities at Stockton University in New Jersey and the University of South Florida for many years.  Her ten published novels embrace two series of historical fiction: the Lord Hani Mysteries, set in the Egypt of Akhenaten, and the Empire at Twilight series, featuring life in the Hittite Empire in the 13th century BCE. The inspiration for her Bronze Age novels came with an assignment she gave to her students one day: Here are the only documents we have telling us about royal divorce in Ugarit in the 13th century. How much can we say about what happened? She notes: “It quickly became apparent that almost anything we might come up with was as much fiction as historiography!” Holmes resides with her husband and three cats. She splits her time between Tampa, Florida, and northern France, where she gardens, weaves and plays the violin. She also has an adult son. A little about Flowers of Evil When two young women in ancient Egypt open a medical dispensary, they don't expect their first patient to be a dying florist of Amen whose last words are totally mysterious. It's Neferet and Bener-ib's nature to want to appease the ba of the murder victim by finding his killer, and their teenaged apprentice is a born detective. But between the skepticism of their own families and the malice of a rival healer, they find out the simple desire to do the right thing gets them into more trouble than they could have imagined! Our focus is on her book Flowers of Evil: Hani's Daughter Mystery Series Book 1 and a peek at Book 2 - Web of Evil, Book 3 - Wheel of Evil and Book 4 - The Melody of Evil. Exciting stories!

Se va a llamar "mujer", porque Dios la sacó del hombre. Génesis 2: 23¿Alguna vez te has preguntado cuál es la canción más antigua de la humanidad? En  the Greatest Music Stories Never Told, Rick Beyer cuenta que descubrió en la ciudad de Ugarit una tabla cuneiforme del año 1400 a. C. en la que un compositor desconocido había grabado la letra y melodía de una canción dedicada a Nikkal, la esposa del dios de la luna.* Durante la década de 1970 Anne Kilmer, profesora de la Universidad de California en Berkeley, logró descifrar algunas de las figuras cuneiformes y se dio cuenta de que se trataba de notas musicales. A partir de entonces, varios músicos modernos han grabado él -himno a Nikkal-.Aunque no tenemos la melodía, la verdadera -primera canción- de la humanidad no es el himno a Nikkal, sino él -himno a Eva-. En Génesis 2 encontramos que las primeras palabras que se registran de Adán aparecen en forma de poesía hebrea. Después de haberse percatado de su soledad, Adán se duerme y cuando despierta, lo primero que ve es a Eva, entonces canta: ¡Esta sí que es de mi propia carne y de mis propios huesos! Se va a llamar "mujer", porque Dios la sacó del hombre (Génesis 2: 23).El himno a Eva está compuesto de dos líneas, y cada una transmite una lección sobre el ideal divino para tu vida sentimental. En la primera línea, Adán reconoce que Eva es de su propia carne, es decir, Eva es su contraparte y a la vez que está hecha del mismo material que él. Hay aquí un sentido de pertenencia, de igualdad y de complemento que es característico de toda relación duradera. En la segunda línea, Adán reconoce quién es el responsable de que él tenga una compañera adecuada: Dios. De allí que sin él como guía no puede haber una relación sentimental saludable.No sé si ya has encontrado pareja o si todavía sigues buscando, pero el himno a Eva nos enseña hoy que lo más importante a la hora de entablar una relación es, con la ayuda y bajo la dirección de Dios, encontrar ese complemento, esa contraparte que nos haga cantar como Adán cuando vio por primera vez a Eva.

Welcome to Day 2461 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – Slaying the Sea Monster – I Dare You Not To Bore Me With The Bible. Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2461 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2461 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Today is the twenty-second lesson in our segment, Theology Thursday. Utilizing excerpts from a book titled: I Dare You Not To Bore Me With The Bible written by Hebrew Bible scholar and professor the late Dr. Michael S Heiser, we will invest a couple of years going through the entire Bible, exploring short Biblical lessons that you may not have received in Bible classes or Church. The Bible is a wonderful book. Its pages reveal the epic story of God's redemption of humankind and the long, bitter conflict against evil. Yet it's also a book that seems strange to us. While God's Word was written for us, it wasn't written to us. Today, our lesson is: Slaying the Sea Monster! Slaying the Sea Monster When we think of creation, we think of everything beginning with God's spoken word—as Genesis 1 tells us. But some Old Testament writers concentrate on another aspect of creation—and a weird one at that. In Psalm 74, in the middle of God's ordering of the sea and dry land, His establishing of the sun, moon, stars, and the seasons, we find another event: God destroying sea monsters. 12 You, O God, are my king from ages past, bringing salvation to the earth. 13 You split the sea by your strength and smashed the heads of the sea monsters. 14 You crushed the heads of Leviathan[a] and let the desert animals eat him. 15 You caused the springs and streams to gush forth, and you dried up rivers that never run dry. 16 Both day and night belong to you; you made the starlight[b] and the sun. 17 You set the boundaries of the earth, and you made both summer and winter. (Psa 74:12-17). Warring the Sea Monster The reference to God breaking “the heads of the sea monster” and crushing “the heads of Leviathan” has led many on a desperate study of Old Testament zoology. But this, along with many other confusing Old Testament images, has a cultural context. In the ancient world, the original (“primordial”) chaotic conditions of creation were often portrayed as a monstrous dragon. This is reflected in stories from ancient Babylon and Israel's closest neighbor, Ugarit (ancient Syria, just north of Israel). In the literature of ancient Ugarit, the god Baal battles Yamm, who is portrayed as a chaotic, churning sea, and a terrifying sea dragon named Tannun or Litanu. These terms are equivalent to the Hebrew words in...

This lesson delves into the profound meaning behind Luke 22:44, where Jesus' sweat is compared to "great drops of blood." A common misunderstanding of this verse suggests that Jesus was literally sweating blood, but a closer look reveals something different. The verse vividly compares two bodily fluids—sweat and blood—not to suggest they were the same but to emphasize the intensity of Jesus' suffering and the volume of His sweat. But why would Luke include this striking detail in his Gospel when the other Evangelists did not? Join us as we uncover this passage's more profound theological significance and what Luke intended this detail to mean. We'll dive into the first-century theological ideas surrounding the First Adam and the Last Adam and how Jesus, the Last Adam, reversed the curse of the first Adam's disobedience. Discover how the term "sweat," used only twice in the entire Bible—in Genesis 3 with Adam and in Luke 22:44 with Jesus—serves as an ancient idiom for anxiety. Jesus' triumph, in the fullness of His humanity, over anxiety at the Gethsemane signifies the breaking of humanity's curse, paving the way for redemption. Don't miss this insightful lesson, which connects the dots between Genesis and the Gospels, shedding light on Christ's redemptive work and His ultimate obedience to God's will. ---------------------------------------------------------- www.figtreeteaching.com Support Fig Tree Ministries: https://donorbox.org/support-figtree-ministries Fig Tree Amazon Portal: https://amzn.to/3USMelI Class Handout - No Handout for this Lesson Blog Post: https://www.figtreeteaching.com/blog/did-jesus-really-sweat-blood YouTube: https://youtu.be/tv0HJi2tOPg Is There a Garden of Gethsemane? - https://youtu.be/6w6hXp79Jck Gezerah Shava & the Greatest Commandment: https://youtu.be/tgql4_1Qwko References: Daniel Fleming - "By the Sweat of Your Brow" - https://www.academia.edu/31549387/Fleming_Daniel_E_By_the_Sweat_of_Your_Brow_Adam_Anat_Athirat_and_Ashurbanipal_in_Ugarit_and_the_Bible_G_J_Brooke_A_H_W_Curtis_and_J_F_Healey_eds_Ugaritisch_Biblische_Literatur_11_Neukirchen_Vluyn_Neukirchener_1994_Pages_93_100

THE SPIRITS of the giants destroyed by the Flood were venerated by the Amorites who dominated the culture around ancient Israel. The Hebrew prophets and psalmists condemned the cult of the dead, but you have to know what you're looking for to find those scriptures. We find one of them in Proverbs 21: The man that wandereth out of the way of wisdom shall abide in the congregation of the dead. (KJV)One who wanders from the way of good sense will rest in the assembly of the dead. (ESV) The word translated “dead” is Rephaim. These were not spirits of the human dead, but those of the monstrous Nephilim who died in the Flood. Further, it was believed by the pagan Amorites (and later by the Greeks and Romans) that the spirits of those hybrids—demigods like Perseus and Heracles—would intercede for the living as long as you offered them sacrifices and worship. This is confirmed by religious texts from the Amorite kingdom of Ugarit, where the last king of that city-state, Ammurapi III (a name that means “my fathers are Rephaim”), was inaugurated with a necromantic ritual that summoned the Rephaim, calling some of them by name, and the “council of Ditanu”—a name from which the Greeks got the name of their old gods, the Titans. In short, the Ditanu/Titans and the Rephaim/demigod heroes of the Amorites and Greeks were the sons of God and the Nephilim from Genesis 6:1–4. Proverbs 21:6 is a warning that wanting to join the assembly of the Rephaim after death, like the Amorites, is stupid. That echoes the additional calls for wisdom in Proverbs 21, which we've seen throughout the Proverbs to this point. This week, however, Proverbs 21:30 reminds us that despite the critical importance of wisdom, no human understanding can prevail against the Lord.

En este episodio analizamos a los cananeos, que eran un grupo de antiguos pueblos que vivían en la tierra de Canaán, en la orilla oriental del mar Mediterráneo, en el llamado Levante mediterráneo. Canaán se describe en la biblia como que se extiende y ocupa la misma área que hoy en día está ocupada por Israel, la Palestina ocupada, el Líbano actual, más algunas partes de Jordania y Siria. Los cananeos eran los malos en la historia deuteronomista, y son presentados en la biblia como lo peor de lo peor, y después de muchos siglos de lucha finalmente son exterminados por el pueblo de Dios y desaparecen de la historia. Sin embargo, los restos arqueológicos desmienten esa historia, y ahora, con la ayuda del ADN se ha descubierto que la mayoría de la gente que actualmente vive en el Levante mediterráneo, incluidos los judíos, son descendientes directos de los cananeos. Restos arqueológicos de la ciudad cananea de Ugarit, nos deja ver lo fascinante de su religión y mitología, y la influencia directa que tuvo está sobre sus descendientes étnicos, los judíos y sobre el mismo cristianismo. Contamos algunos de sus fascinantes mitos, y comparamos algunas de sus costumbres.

Welcome to Day 2366 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – Walk Like an Israelite – I Dare You Not To Bore Me With The Bible Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2366 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2366 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Today is the second lesson in our segment, Theology Thursday. Utilizing excerpts from a book titled: I Dare You Not To Bore Me With The Bible written by Bible scholar and professor Dr. Michael S Heiser, we will invest a couple of years going through the entire Bible, exploring short Biblical lessons that you may not have received in Bible classes or Church. The Bible is a wonderful book. Its pages reveal the epic story of God's redemption of humankind and the long, bitter conflict against evil. Yet it's also a book that seems strange to us. While God's Word was written for us, it wasn't written to us. Today, our lesson is Walk Like an Israelite. Dr. Heiser said that cuneiform tablets changed my life. He wasn't kidding. As he looked back on his 15 years of graduate school in biblical studies, the turning point in how he viewed the Bible was his course in Ugaritic, a cuneiform language very similar to biblical Hebrew. This class compelled him to transform “read the Bible in context” from a naïve platitude to an issue of spiritual integrity. A Bible Study Epiphany Most of us have the impression that interpreting the Bible in context meant learning about a piece of pottery here, an odd custom there, or having a factual acquaintance with who was alive, and what those people were doing at the time of the biblical events. But in his Ugaritic course, he learned that all of that can divorce the Bible from the ancient world in one critical way: It can exclude religious or theological ideas from all the “context talk.” It's easy to presume that most of the Bible's theological content was unique to Israel. Most of us learned that Israel shared some cultural customs with pagan Gentiles—like diet, dress, marriage, and family structure. But we thought Israel's religious worldview was handed down from heaven, having no common links with paganism. That is not true, and the content of the tablets that have been translated since they were discovered in the past centuries changes the previous mindset. For starters, the people of Ugarit, a city-state in ancient Syria, described their gods with words and phrases that are in the Old Testament—in many cases, word for word. Their chief deity shared the same name (El) as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. (But the El of Ugarit could hardly be called holy by biblical standards.) The honorary titles and other descriptions of the Ugarit El and his primary assistant, Baal, are applied to the God of Israel in many passages in the Old Testament. There are other examples. The behavior of prophets and the use of divination (casting lots, consulting the ephod) have clear ancient Near Eastern parallels. The design and purpose of the Ark of the Covenant align well with the use of sacred boxes known as palanquins in ancient Egypt. Trial by ordeal—such as that found in Numbers 5, where a woman accused of adultery must drink a potion to test her fidelity—occurred in surrounding cultures. Terms for Israelite sacrifices are found in ancient Gentile...

En este episodio hablamos extensamente sobre la conquista de Canaán, relatada principalmente en el libro de Josué, aunque iniciada un poco más antes tanto en Números como en Deuteronomio. Hacemos un resumen del libro de Josué, y luego nos preguntamos cuanto de cierto hay en todos estos relatos, y los comparamos con la evidencia arqueológica. En realidad escogemos las excavaciones realizadas en las ruinas de las ciudades Arad, Jesbon y Dibon en Negeb; y Jericó, Ai, Lakish y Jasor en Cisjordania, por ser estas las que en el relato sufrieron una destrucción total que debería dejar evidencia arqueológica. Luego nos fijamos en dos cosas: ¿Había una ciudad que iba a ser destruida? ¿Hay señales de tal destrucción?, eso lo hacemos para ambas posibles fechas que dan los creyentes, el siglo XV y finales del siglo XIII antes de la era común. Los resultados son claros. Libro de Josué es casi todo ficticio y de poco o ningún valor para el historiador. Miramos entonces el contenido mitológico, los paralelos entre la destrucción de Jericó y el relato de Tamar en el Génesis, con el sitio a Troya, y el mito de Antenor y Teano en el saqueo a Troya. Los paralelos del mito de la detención del Sol con algunos pasajes de la Ilíada, una comparación extensa entre Josué y Odiseo, sobre todo en el canto XIII de la Odisea. Y desde luego la comparación necesaria entre Josué y Keret. Keret es uno de los relatos encontrados en Ugarit (actual Ras Shamra).

Alberto Herrera, dentro del programa "Herrera en Cope", de Carlos Herrera, habla con Javier Sierra de los eclipses y sus misterios, contando muchas historias sobre ellos. El eclipse total más antiguo del que se tiene constancia ocurrió en la ciudad mesopotámica de Ugarit, en el 1375 a. C., durante la disputa de una batalla. Los ejércitos interpretaron la repentina oscuridad como la ira de los dioses. Voces del Misterio COPE: Los eclipses y sus misterio, con Javier Sierra.

In questa terza puntata della seconda stagione, raccontiamo le vicende di una delle città più antiche della storia dell'uomo, che nei suoi lunghi millenni di vita fu spesso protagonista delle vicende politiche ed economiche di quella vasta area geografica che dal Mediterraneo si spinge fino alla Valle dell'Indo, e il cui vastissimo archivio di tavolette ha permesso di far luce su numerosi aspetti di quel mondo così lontano.Buona archeologia!

In today's study, we take up where we left off last Friday concerning whether there are other gods or not. We discuss what Paul taught concerning this, and it led us back to Genesis and how we are made in the image of God. We also talk about the Divine Council of God and how it was similar to what was found at Ugarit. We then looked at how these council members have some kind of say in the affairs of life, such as the watchers of Daniel. We spoke about the total plan of God for all people to become believers and therefore enter sonship under the Father.We believe this episode will be one you certainly don't want to miss, so please join us for a treat today! 

In the latest episode of our podcast, my wife and I had the pleasure of talking with Pastor Ryan Brown. This podcast episode serves as an invitation to delve deeper into the narratives that have shaped centuries of moral and spiritual guidance, encouraging a re-examination of the lessons at the heart of the Bible. We invite you to join us in this enlightening journey through ancient wisdom, as we connect its relevance to the complexities of modern life. The tale of David and Goliath was revisited with a nuanced lens, focusing not merely on the physical battle but also on the deeper implications of heroism, masculinity, and generational responsibility. Pastor Ryan illustrated the roles played by individuals like Ehud, a judge with a physical disability, and Samson, whose chaotic actions aligned with divine purposes despite their apparent weaknesses or flaws. The discourse emphasized the stark contrasts in masculinity as depicted in the book of First Samuel, shedding light on the societal pressures faced by men and youth alike.  As we explored the notion of giants within the narrative of First Samuel, Pastor Ryan introduced a thought-provoking analysis of the various textual interpretations of Goliath's height and the consequential historical and literary implications. The concept of stature was not limited to physical attributes but extended to the stature of one's heart and character. This key theme resonated throughout the episode, as it does in the biblical narrative, challenging the conventional criteria for leadership and heroism.  Furthermore, the discovery of the Ugarit texts and their revelations about the Canaanite religion brought a new dimension to our understanding of the biblical era. The impact of these texts on biblical scholarship and our perception of scriptural polemics was thoroughly examined, providing listeners with a richer comprehension of the divine authority presented in these ancient texts.  In conclusion, the episode encouraged listeners to contemplate the spiritual and moral lessons embedded within the Bible, prompting us to reconsider the significance of figures like Goliath. The thought-provoking query of whether Goliath could have been an ally had his zeal been directed towards a righteous cause added depth to the moral contemplations.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RealBibleStoriesNotes: https://sermons.church/archives?church=PalmsBaptistBibleStudy&id=126Website: https://real-bible-stories.square.siteCheck us out on these Streaming Platforms: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1912582/share

N.L. Holmes - Flowers of Evil: Hani's Daughter Mystery Series Book 1.  This is episode 624 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast. N.L. Holmes is a prolific novelist embarking on another significant career phase. Prior to taking up the power of writing and using this pen name, she was an accomplished archaeologist and teacher for 25 years. Early in her career she served as a nun for two decades. In between she was an artist and antiques dealer. Yes, she has lived an interesting life, and the sum of her experiences informs and inspires her writings today. Holmes, who earned her doctorate in Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology Studies from Bryn Mawr College despite an offer to attend Princeton, has excavated in Greece and Israel, and taught ancient history and humanities at Stockton University in N.J. and University of South Florida for many years. She also did archaeological artwork for excavations from Lebanon. With 11 published novels, Holmes is the creator of The Lord Hani Mysteries. The inspiration for her Bronze Age novels came with an assignment she gave to her students one day: Here are the only documents we have telling us about royal divorce in Ugarit in the 13th century. How much can we say about what happened? She notes: “It quickly became apparent that almost anything we might come up with was as much fiction as historiography!” She also penned The Empire At Twilight series, historical fiction set in the 13th century C.B. during the Hittite Empire, and Hani's Daughter Mysteries, a spin-off historical fiction series. Born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas, she attended The University of Texas in the honors program but dropped out midway to enter into the antiques business. Two years later, she entered the Discalced Carmelite convent in Texas. She left the convent 20 years later and returned to school to get her B.A. in Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology. Holmes resides with her husband, three cats, and a dog. They split their time between Tampa, Florida and northern France, where she gardens, weaves, and plays the violin. They have an adult son. For more information, please consult www.nlholmes.com. A little about Flowers of Evil When two young women in ancient Egypt open a medical dispensary, they don't expect their first patient to be a dying florist of Amen whose last words are totally mysterious. It's Neferet and Bener-ib's nature to want to appease the ba of the murder victim by finding his killer, and their teenaged apprentice is a born detective. But between the skepticism of their own families and the malice of a rival healer, they find out the simple desire to do the right thing gets them into more trouble than they could have imagined!

The category of dying and rising gods, once a major topic of scholarly investigation, must now be understood to have been largely a misnomer based on imaginative reconstructions and exceedingly late or highly ambiguous texts. As applied in the scholarly literature, "dying and rising gods" is a generic appellation for a group of male deities found in agrarian Mediterranean societies who serve as the focus of myths and rituals that allegedly narrate and annually represent their death and resurrection. Beyond this sufficient criterion, dying and rising deities were often held by scholars to have a number of cultic associations, sometimes thought to form a "pattern." They were young male figures of fertility; the drama of their lives was often associated with mother or virgin goddesses; in some areas, they were related to the institution of sacred kingship, often expressed through rituals of sacred marriage; there were dramatic reenactments of their life, death, and putative resurrection, often accompanied by a ritual identification of either the society or given individuals with their fate. The category of dying and rising gods, as well as the pattern of its mythic and ritual associations, received its earliest full formulation in the influential work of James G. Frazer The Golden Bough, especially in its two central volumes, The Dying God and Adonis, Attis, Osiris. Frazer offered two interpretations, one euhemerist, the other naturist. In the former, which focused on the figure of the dying god, it was held that a (sacred) king would be slain when his fertility waned. This practice, it was suggested, would be later mythologized, giving rise to a dying god. The naturist explanation, which covered the full cycle of dying and rising, held the deities to be personifications of the seasonal cycle of vegetation. The two interpretations were linked by the notion that death followed upon a loss of fertility, with a period of sterility being followed by one of rejuvenation, either in the transfer of the kingship to a successor or by the rebirth or resurrection of the deity. ESHMUN was a Phoenician healer god, later identified with Asklepios, the patron of medicine, by the Greeks and the Romans. He seems to be attested since the third millennium bce in Syria, though his physiognomy becomes clear only in the first millennium bce. The etymology of Eshmun clearly connects him with "oil," which had therapeutic and ritual functions (in relationship with the kingship ritual) in the ancient Near East. In the Ebla archives (middle of the third millennium bce), the theophoric element sí-mi-nu/a is found in some personal names, written dì-giš in Sumerian, meaning "oil." In the ritual texts of Ugarit and Ras Ibn Hani, in the late Bronze Age (eighteenth century bce), the god Šmn is also mentioned as a beneficiary of offerings (Keilalphabetischen Texte aus Ugarit 1.164:9, 1.41:[45], 1.87:50). Unfortunately nothing is known about the functions or the role of this god in the Syrian pantheons, but his connection with oil must indicate that he was "the one who oils," and thus "the one who heals." This is surely the main reason why Eshmun was later assimilated to Asklepios/Aesculapius. His occasional interpretatio as Apollo (for example, in Carthage) is also based on the same background, because Apollo was also a salvific god.

GOD CONDEMNED the ruling nobility of Assyria in the Book of Nahum—or did He?We continue our study of Nahum and the links between Assyria and Babylon, especially at the supernatural level. Our theory is that Assur, translated “Assyria” in our Bible, may refer to Assur, the chief deity of the Assyrians—a god equated with Enlil of Babylon and El of Canaan.The Hebrew word translated “nobles” or “officers” (ʾʾʾʾ'addirekha) is used in Psalm 16:3 (“the excellent ones”) and Ezekiel 32:18 (“majestic,” “powerful,” or “famous” nations) to describe entities in the underworld. The corresponding word is found in pagan texts from Ugarit and Phoenicia to refer to the spirits of the Rephaim—in one case mentioning Og, the king of Bashan in the days of Noah!So, there appears to be more going on in Nahum that just a condemnation of the king of Assyria. We view this as an “already but not yet” prophecy of the destruction of Assur/Enlil/El, the divine rebel known to the Hebrews as Shemihazah (leader of the “sons of God” in Genesis 6), Molech, and Abaddon.

On the jewish holiday of Shavuot, Pastor Andrew takes us back to the ancient city of Ugarit to discuss KTU141, which is one of the tablets describing rituals for a holiday that could be considered to be the Ugarit equivalent of the Jewish holiday of Shukkot, and he talks about how, for every Hebrew holiday, you can find a Ugarit equivalent from which it was “transferred.”

Maybe the lost treasure was the movies we made along the way...

On this episode, Pastor Andrew returns us to Ugarit, this time to talk about the strange form of divination called teratomancy, which is the procedure of deriving insights into the future from the malformations of newborns. And shows how that documentation of these issues actually shows health in a society.

On this week's show we discuss the Son of Morning himself, Lucifer. While exploring the popular mythology of Lucifer we investigate his role in the Bible and the origins of the words used to arrive at the translation of his name giving us a number of solid clues to clarify the much intuited and controversial relationship between Lucifer, Jesus Christ and the planet Venus. In the extended show we repel further down the rabbit-hole and discuss the Greek Prometheus, but especially his parents, the sigil of Lucifer, what it has to do with human vision, the pineal gland, pinecones and peacocks.On this week's show we discuss:The Twin Lucifers of LiègeLucifer of the BibleThe Planet VenusMystery BabylonEos and MemnonThe Book of EnochWho is Azazel?The Christ ConnectionIn the extended episode available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we discuss:Promethean ParentsSigil of LuciferThe Serpent and Human VisionWorlds of ShadowThe Pineal GlandThe Eye of HorusOsirisMelek Taus of the YazidiIblis and Azazil777 and MezlaEach host is responsible for writing and creating the content they present.Where to find The Whole Rabbit:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0AnJZhmPzaby04afmEWOAVInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_whole_rabbitTwitter: https://twitter.com/1WholeRabbitSources:Book of Enoch:https://www.ccel.org/c/charles/otpseudepig/enoch/ENOCH_1.HTMApocalypse of Abraham:https://www.marquette.edu/maqom/box.pdfBiblical Translations for Lucifer:https://www.adventistbiblicalresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/WhereDidWeGet.pdfAstronomical Ceiling of Senenmut's Tomb:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_ceiling_of_Senenmut%27s_TombPineal Gland:https://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/what-to-know-about-calcification-of-the-pineal-glandSnakes and Pineal Glands:https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/me-and-the-copperheads-or-why-we-still-dont-know-if-snakes-secrete-melatonin-at-night/#:~:text=There%20is%20also%20no%20circadian,like%20they%20came%20from%20mammals.Pineal gland and DMT:https://www.psypost.org/2019/07/study-provides-evidence-that-dmt-is-produced-naturally-from-neurons-in-the-mammalian-brain-54051Colour Wavelengths:https://science.nasa.gov/ems/09_visiblelight#:~:text=Violet%20has%20the%20shortest%20wavelength,wavelength%2C%20at%20around%20700%20nanometers.Support the show

Pastor Andrew brings us back again to the ancient city of Ugarit, this time to talk about a short cuneiform passage that briefly details (what most scholars think is) a solar eclipse. This leads into a discussion about viewing eclipses (including the Pastor's 2017 trip to Kentucky to see a solar eclipse), and the intersection of religion and astronomy, particular in Hawaii where the two have been butting heads of late.

On this episode of the podcast I speak with Ola Wikander about the field of “Nuclear Semiotics”, the scholarly discussion concerning communicating information about nuclear waste disposal into the far future. Ola is a Ugaritologist, Hebraist, Semitist, author, and Senior Lecturer at Lund University. He specializes in ancient languages and religions of the near east, and in particular the texts of Ugarit, which was a city state destroyed c. 1185 BC.   Assuming we work out a secure way of dealing with our nuclear waste, how do we let our descendants 10,000 years into the future know that that is what we have done, bearing in mind that the oldest written text is only around 5,000 years old. In 10,000 years our descendants will likely live in an entirely different symbolic universe. Borders (if borders still exist) will have shifted, our political systems will be entirely new, and none of the languages spoken today will be recognizable. Furthermore, even if we can make our message understandable, there is no guarantee that our descendants will listen or care. Museums all over the world are filled with deceased kings warning people not to move their bodies.   The discussion begins with the history, texts, religion, and destruction of Ugarit, as well as the links that Ugarit had to the early texts and religion of the israelites. It ends with nuclear waste, and the difficulties of transmitting information into the distant future. We cover some of the more unique suggested solutions to the problem, including `Atomic Priesthood', proposed by linguist Thomas Sebeok, a semi-religious council, responsible for passing on knowledge down the generations through artificially created ritual-and-legend.   Note: At around 13:00 minutes into the video we discuss techniques for learning new languages. Despite what was said in the video, there have been new developments: lately, an online lesson series teaching Ugaritic by immersion has actually been started by Benjamin Kantor - see here: https://biblicalhebrew.com/tv-show/immersion-ugaritic/   ►Watch on Youtube: https://youtu.be/WvCmG0w8vko   ►For more information about Ola's research: https://portal.research.lu.se/en/persons/ola-wikander   ►Follow Ola on Twitter: @OlaWikander These conversations are supported by the Andrea von Braun foundation (http://www.avbstiftung.de/), as an exploration of the rich, exciting, connected, scientifically literate, and (most importantly) sustainable future of humanity. The views expressed in these episodes are my own and those of my guests. Many thanks to Bill Edwards for suggestion the topic of this interview. 

Pastor Andrew promised us a story about God El, head of Pantheon, getting drunk; and he delivered. As we dives into this Ugarit myth, we learn about ancient people's relationship to alcohol (particularly wine, and its road from experimentation to temperance) and other mind altering substances.

“…for you shall worship no other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God”, is what he said, he did not say he was the only god. Let us travel back and re-examine Yahweh, let us look at his place amongst the pantheon of gods. Along the way we will meet his brothers and his wife! We'll explore the myriad of heavenly host who were once deities in their own right but over time were relocated to subordinates. We will ponder the implications of turning what was a monolatry faith into a monotheistic one and what that means for Christianity today. God had a wife, Asherah, whom the Book of Kings suggests was worshiped alongside Yahweh in his temple in Israel, according to an Oxford scholar. In 1967, Raphael Patai was the first historian to mention that the ancient Israelites worshiped both Yahweh and Asherah. Asherah is identified as the consort of the Sumerian god Anu, and Ugaritic ʾEl, the oldest deities of their respective pantheons. This role gave her a similarly high rank in the Ugaritic pantheon. Deuteronomy 12 has Yahweh commanding the destruction of her shrines so as to maintain purity of his worship. The name Dione, which like ʾElat means "goddess", is clearly associated with Asherah in the Phoenician History of Sanchuniathon, because the same common epithet (ʾElat) of "the Goddess par excellence" was used to describe her at Ugarit. The Book of Jeremiah, written circa 628 BC, possibly refers to Asherah when it uses the title "queen of heaven" in Jeremiah 7:16–18 and Jeremiah 44:17–19, 25. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thescaredisle/message

Ishara, who was the tutelary goddess of Ebla, was a notable figure in the ancient city of Damascus. Although her name is not known to have come from a specific linguistic source, there were also various West Semitic and Hurrian etymologies, but they did not find sufficient support.Her cult was able to reach other cities in the Near East, including Ebla. In addition, she was also worshipped in other cities such as Alalakh, Ugarit, and Mari. The worship of Ishara was spread to Mesopotamia through these cities. The Hurrians adopted her after they arrived in Syria, and she eventually made her way to the Hittite Pantheon.In various areas and time periods, she was given various functions. In Ebla, she was regarded as the family's tutelary deity, but she was also a love goddess. In Mesopotamia, she was associated with various other notable individuals such as Ishtar and Kanisurra. In the Hurrian religion, she was associated with Allani, who was regarded as the queen of the dead. She was also known as a divine guardian of oaths and a goddess of divination.There is very little information on how the goddess Ishara was represented in her physical form but some records denote warlike features due to her association with weapons. In later periods, when boundary stones were made, Ishara was represented by the scorpion instead of the bashmu. It is not clear why the change occurred, or how it was attributed to her. In Babylonian astronomy, she was also associated with a star known as the Scorpion Star.

Los fenicios es un pueblo muy desconocido del cual tenemos las primeras noticias a través de la Ilíada y la Odisea de homero, algunos pasajes de Plinio y de la Biblia. Se asientan en las orillas del este del mar Mediterráneo , en lo que es en la actualidad el Líbano y la costa de Siria . Su origen es incierto aunque se sabe que una serie de tribus con lenguas de origen semítico se establecen en aldeas pescadoras que van prosperando hasta convertirse en ciudades-estado que establecen alianzas defensivas y comerciales según les interesen, sin una noción clara de pueblo. Las principales son Ugarit, Biblos y Sidón. Los fenicios nos atraen por ser un pueblo marino, aventurero, creativo, valiente. Su situación geográfica en el límite este del mar Mediterráneo y sus tierras de escasa producción agrícola debido a un orografía montañosa que también dificulta las comunicaciones terrestres , pero gran riqueza maderera y de metales, hacen que se lancen a la aventura marina. Es un pueblo comerciante, poco violento que establece relaciones comerciales y colonias a lo largo de todo el mar Mediterráneo. Es importante que nos situemos en su contexto histórico, rodeados de pueblos belicosos, como persas y egipcios, con pocas posibilidades de avanzar por tierra ,y que ven el mar su medio de subsistencia y prosperidad. En ese momento los medios de navegación eran muy rudimentarios y cada viaje suponía lanzarse a lo desconocido, ya que las fronteras se iban ampliando poco a poco. Su afán comercial les llevó a desarrollar métodos de navegación, y sobre todo algo fundamental : el alfabeto del cual derivarían posteriormente el árabe, judío, griego, latino, arameo etc; cada uno con sus características singulares.

Summary: Not only is the U.S. government-media complex lying about what is happening in Ukraine, but it's telling the same lies it did about its previous regime change project in Syria. Guest bio: Janice Kortkamp began researching Syria and the war in 2012 and has put in well over 10,000 hours in research, made hundreds of contacts in Syria also ex-pat Syrians in several other countries and made seven trips in 2016-2019, each almost one month long. She traveled to Damascus (inc. Ma'aloula and Saidnaya), Homs (inc. Valley of the Christians and villages in the countryside near Masyaf), Lattakia (inc. Ugarit, Slonfeh, Kessab), Tartous (inc.

Today we conclude the Baal cycle with the epic final confrontation between Baal Hadad, rightful lord of the Canaanite heavens, and Mot, the deity whose name literally means Death. How can a god fight against death itself? What were the Canaanites smoking when they came up with these stories? What are the theological implications of death facing the prospect of its own death? None of these questions will be answered, and many more questions will go unanswered as we conclude the greatest and strangest epic of the city of Ugarit. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/oldeststories/message

Episode: In this episode Mark and Chris talk with Dr. K. Lawson Younger (Trinity Evangelical Divinity School) about the Contextual Approach and its benefits for interpreting Scripture with caution required to avoid the paradoxical dangers of "parallelomania" and "parallelophobia." Dr. Younger is an Assyriologist who also specializes on the Arameans, so naturally they had to pick his brain for info on the impact of the Assyrians and Arameans on ancient Israel, particularly during the Divided Monarchy. They also discuss the genre of ancient conquest accounts and how the book of Joshua fits that specific genre, an important interpretive aid to understanding Joshua.  Guest: (From the TIU website) Dr. K.
