00-CREATION.Pdf Prologue The truth is that no one can know for a certainty how or why the earth and the ever expanding universe were created. Mankind’s best guess is still a guess. However what is irrefutable is the fact that there is a record of things that happened in the earliest days of mankind’s existence that could only be known by people who were there and whether or not people choose to believe these events were based on fact or fiction, with the use of modern technology and thorough excavation of areas that have been reported upon, evidence shows us an exciting reality. Of course there are minds of man that will never be convinced no matter what evidence is produced and this is to be expected. Nevertheless, what researchers have discovered, is that certain stories that have been handed down in various forms over thousands of years, have turned out to be based in truth. After countless hours of investigation of these stories, myths and legends across multiple generations by upstanding academics and inspired individuals, one is ultimately faced with the fact that the Bible is not just some fanciful storybook, but is historically accurate in most if not all of its reporting. From ancient Sumeria to ancient Egypt to mythological Greece, we find uncanny similarities of deities and events of similar if not exact characteristics. Given the monumental implications of considering the Bible as a true historical record, I expect that there would therefore be an equal and opposite reaction to ensure that truth is kept at a distance. In this light, it should be understood that because there is an underlying theme that permeates the entire publication … the struggle between Good and Evil in the hearts, minds and souls of all of existence … even the Angels who are known to have emotions and ultimately ‘Free Will’ we struggle with this concept. This is evident with the fall of Lucifer and his legion right through to the fall of Man and his banishment from the garden of Eden. It is with this in mind that one can begin to understand that by our very nature, that is, the dynamic of mankinds mind to be in altered states of consciousness which serve not his better nature, we are susceptible to moments of doubt and dismissive behaviour because of the uncertainty of our purpose as an individual and purpose as a species. I am not religious, though I was raised a Roman Catholic, I soon discovered the nature of all religious doctrine to be false representations of the truth. The truth being our direct and intimate connection with the Most High without need of institutions or religious instruction by tradition. Personally, I believe in God (YHWH) and the Son of God (Yahushua). I am of the belief that the scriptures are truly inspired revelations of the our Creator that were transcribed through Man. Although the scriptures themselves are authentic, the compilation of these scriptures into a Bible is not in my opinion complete. One such book that is omitted is the Book of Enoch, written by Noah’s grandfather and referred to in the Bible itself. Following Constantine’s ‘Council of Nicea’ which created the belief system of Christianity, a compilation of scriptures was agreed and voted upon by a collection of church leaders with the final approval signed off by Constantine late in the 4th Century AD. I have serious doubts that the books accepted as the complete Bible were inspired by YHWh. I expect that they were limited to ensure that the pagan belief system would remain intact, in order to encompass the best possible cross section of people in the Empire at that time. I have therefore tried my best to remain open to the possibility of many conflicting established belief systems. Some, I have adopted in the spirit of honest revelation, others that are currently held as irrefutable truths, I have either indicated potential discrepancies or just left it as it stands until I am further educated by research. This compilation is a historical record from my personal point of view and I accept that there may be errors of which I will correct and update as I learn more. What I personally feel to be ultimate truth I stand behind 100% but this research should not be regarded by any means, as incontrovertible fact. In these last days, it is said that the eyes of man are opened and truth shall be made known to the world. which will on one hand be the fulfilment of prophecy but on a more unpleasant note, on the other hand also heralds the increasing of sin in the world, the beginning of the great war and the coming of judgement day. I am open to help and insights from any persons who would like to contribute and make this series a complete and comprehensive record of time, that will be kept up to date in these, our last days, for the purpose of our awakening, by sharing the honest truth across the world for the benefit of all who seek it I wish you all love and peace Vincent Pereira Author Dedicated to the memory of … The true Hebrew Israelites who have suffered centuries of persecution and slavery. In Egypt did you weap … in America your children suffer greatly to this day … and though you remain scattered throughout the world … knowing not who you are … know this … that time is near oh children of Israel … our father will call you home Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. (Revelation 3:9) Acknowledgements I must first and foremost give the utmost thanks to my wife who has had to suffer the greatest amount of neglect due to the redirection of my attention, which has been used researching, reading and collating the information contained in this book over many years. Without her patience and understanding, it would not have been possible to bring this edition to you, the reader. Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend. Laertius Diogenes Secondly, my children who have also had to be patient with me and although I have tried my best to give them the time expected of a Dad, no doubt they have missed a lot of precious hours with me as they have grown into the adorable teenagers they are today. You will never find time for anything. If you want time, you must make it. Charles Bixton Lastly, I must acknowledge the people who have come before me in their own research of time These people who have dedicated themselves to searching for truth and documenting their findings which has enable me to find out the facts and stories that I can now present to you in a new light. You will find the list of references at the end of this book. The question in life is not "how much time do we have?" The question is "what shall we do with it? Anna Robertson Brown Revelation 17 King James Version 1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. 3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5 And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth. 6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. 7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. 8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. 9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. 10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. 11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. 12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. 13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

  • Cleopatra II and III: the Queens of Ptolemy VI and VIII As Guarantors of Kingship and Rivals for Power
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Andrea Jördens, Joachim Friedrich Quack (Hg.), Ägypten zwischen innerem Zwist und äußerem Druck. Die Zeit Ptolemaios’ VI. bis VIII. Internationales Symposion Heidelberg 16.-19.9.2007 (Philippika 45), Wiesbaden 2011, S. 58–76 Cleopatra II and III: The queens of Ptolemy VI and VIII as guarantors of kingship and rivals for power Martina Minas-Nerpel Introduction The second half of the Ptolemaic period was marked by power struggles not only among the male rulers of the dynasty, but also among its female members. Starting with Arsinoe II, the Ptolemaic queens had always been powerful and strong-willed and had been a decisive factor in domestic policy. From the death of Ptolemy V Epiphanes onwards, the queens controlled the political developments in Egypt to a still greater extent. Cleopatra II and especially Cleopatra III became all-dominant, in politics and in the ruler-cult, and they were often depicted in Egyptian temple- reliefs—more often than any of her dynastic predecessors and successors. Mother and/or daughter reigned with Ptolemy VI Philometor to Ptolemy X Alexander I, from 175 to 101 BC, that is, for a quarter of the entire Ptolemaic period. Egyptian queenship was complementary to kingship, both in dynastic and Ptolemaic Egypt: No queen could exist without a king, but at the same time the queen was a necessary component of kingship. According to Lana Troy, the pattern of Egyptian queenship “reflects the interaction of male and female as dualistic elements of the creative dynamics ”.1 The king and the queen functioned as the basic duality through which regeneration of the creative power of the kingship was accomplished.

  • Humbaba Research Packet.Pdf
    HUMBABA Research Packet Compiled by Cassi Schiano and Christine Scarfuto CONTENTS: History of the Epic of Gilgamesh Summary of the Epic (and the Twelve Tablets) Character Info on Gilgamesh, Enkidu, and Humbaba Brief Historical Info: Babylon Ancient Rome The Samurai Colonial England War in Afghanistan 1 History of The Epic of Gilgamesh The Epic of Gilgamesh is epic poetry from Mesopotamia and is among the earliest known works of literature. The story revolves around a relationship between Gilgamesh (probably a real ruler in the late Early Dynastic II period ca. 27th century BC) and his close male companion, Enkidu. Enkidu is a wild man created by the gods as Gilgamesh's equal to distract him from oppressing the citizens of Uruk. Together they undertake dangerous quests that incur the displeasure of the gods. Firstly, they journey to the Cedar Mountain to defeat Humbaba, its monstrous guardian. Later they kill the Bull of Heaven that the goddess Ishtar has sent to punish Gilgamesh for spurning her advances. The latter part of the epic focuses on Gilgamesh's distressed reaction to Enkidu's death, which takes the form of a quest for immortality. Gilgamesh attempts to learn the secret of eternal life by undertaking a long and perilous journey to meet the immortal flood hero, Utnapishtim. Ultimately the poignant words addressed to Gilgamesh in the midst of his quest foreshadow the end result: "The life that you are seeking you will never find. When the gods created man they allotted to him death, but life they retained in their own keeping." Gilgamesh, however, was celebrated by posterity for his building achievements, and for bringing back long-lost cultic knowledge to Uruk as a result of his meeting with Utnapishtim.

  • Who Succeeded Xerxes on the Throne of Persia?
    Journal of the Adventist Theological Society, 12/1 (Spring 2001): 83Ð88. Article copyright © 2001 by William H. Shea. Who Succeeded Xerxes on the Throne of Persia? William H. Shea A standard interpretation of ancient Persian history in the mid-5th century B.C. is that Artaxerxes I followed his father on the throne after Xerxes was murdered. This interpretation has been developed from the classical writers, the king lists, and the datelines on contract tables from Babylonia which follow this order. Since there is a late Hellenistic astronomical text which dates the murder of Xerxes in the fifth Persian-Babylonian month, or August, the transition be- tween these two kings has been dated in the summer of 465 B.C., about forty days before the Jewish New Year of 1 Tishri. If the Jews, like Ezra, used a fall- to-fall calendar and accession year reckoning, those forty days would have served as ArtaxerxesÕ accession period or Year 0, and his first full year of reign would have begun on 1 Tishri in 465 B.C. That would also make his seventh year extend from the fall of 459 to the fall of 458, not from the fall of 458 to the fall of 457, as Adventist interpreters have held. But this problem is complicated by two factors. First, there was the politi- cal turmoil after the murder of Xerxes. Second, there is the lack of any sources dated to Artaxerxes in the last half of 465 B.C. The Artaxerxes sources can be reviewed as follows: 1. Persian sources.

  • Ancient Egyptian Chronology and the Book of Genesis
    Answers Research Journal 4 (2011):127–159. www.answersingenesis.org/arj/v4/ancient-egyptian-chronology-genesis.pdf Ancient Egyptian Chronology and the Book of Genesis Matt McClellan, [email protected] Abstract One of the most popular topics among young earth creationists and apologists is the relationship of the Bible with Ancient Egyptian chronology. Whether it concerns who the pharaoh of the Exodus was, the background of Joseph, or the identity of Shishak, many Christians (and non-Christians) have wondered how these two topics fit together. This paper deals with the question, “How does ancient Egyptian chronology correlate with the book of Genesis?” In answering this question it begins with an analysis of every Egyptian dynasty starting with the 12th Dynasty (this is where David Down places Moses) and goes back all the way to the so called “Dynasty 0.” After all the data is presented, this paper will look at the different possibilities that can be constructed concerning how long each of these dynasties lasted and how they relate to the biblical dates of the Great Flood, the Tower of Babel, and the Patriarchs. Keywords: Egypt, pharaoh, Patriarchs, chronology, Abraham, Joseph Introduction Kingdom) need to be revised. This is important During the past century some scholars have when considering the relationship between Egyptian proposed new ways of dating the events of ancient history and the Tower of Babel. The traditional dating history before c. 700 BC.1 In 1991 a book entitled of Ancient Egyptian chronology places its earliest Centuries of Darkness by Peter James and four of dynasties before the biblical dates of the Flood and his colleagues shook the very foundations of ancient confusion of the languages at Babel.
