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, 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 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 who are known to have emotions and ultimately ‘Free Will’ we struggle with this concept. This is evident with the fall of and his legion right through to the and his banishment from the .

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 , written by ’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 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

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, 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 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.

14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and : and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.

17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

YHWH creates the Heavenly Angels who have individual personalities that include emotions and with the gift of free will. Even before the foundation of the world was created the Angels were present.

How much time passed between YHWH creating the Heavenly Angels and of the physical universe is difficult to be able to describe in context given our limitations in understanding the time space continuum

Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it? On what were its footings , or who laid its cornerstone - while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?” (Job 38:4-7).

Lucifer apparently became so impressed with his own beauty, intelligence, power, and position that he began to desire for himself the honour and glory that belonged to God alone. YHWH throws him down to the earth and banishes him from the heavenly realm.

Lucifer is already present in the Garden of Eden before had arrived.

The sin that corrupted Lucifer was basically a self- generated pride. This appears to be the very beginning of sin in the universe originated by Lucifer and he is now called Satan) Free will is a blessing and a curse it would seem

Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, (Ezekiel 28:16-17)

After five days of worldly creation, YHWH finally sets to creating Man on the sixth day. The timeframe used is taken as a metaphorical depiction of the “Generations” of time.

These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,. (Genesis 2:4)

But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. (2 Peter 3:8)

ADAM is made from the dust of the ground in the image of YHWH.

And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. (Genesis 2:7)

This is the book of the . In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him (Genesis 5)

The image of man that is of the creator should be understood to reflect not the colour of his skin but reflect the creator in the sense that he has his own identity, an eternal soul and the freedom make his own choices.

The Garden of Eden is then planted in a specific area with a river that parts into four heads. Tigris and Euphates are known, Pison and Gihon are debated, but the area is generally clear. Adam is sent in to keep the land and dress it

And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. (Genesis 2:8)

YHWH tells ADAM that he may eat of all the trees in the garden but that if he eats of the tree of knowledge he will surely die

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die (Genesis 2:17)

While Adam is put into a deep sleep, is made from one of Adam’s ribs

And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man (Genesis 2:22)

Adam and Eve live for some time, happy and at peace. One day, Eve is convinced by the serpent (Satan) to eat of the tree of knowledge of Good and Evil and shares the fruit with ADAM. In disobedience to YHWH, they are sent out from the Garden of Eden.

Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? (Genesis 3)

Adam and Eve are banished from the Garden of Eden and are bound to live their lives in relative hardship. They must eventually die of the flesh.

There is no mention of their returning to heaven before Judgement Day

Able and are born of ADAM and EVE and tend to their land and animals.

Offerings are brought to YHWH who had regard for and his offering, but He did not have regard for Cain and his offering. Cain was furious, and he was downcast. Cain said to his brother Abel, "Let's go out to the field”, and there he attacked his brother Abel and killed him.

And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. (Genesis 4:8)

What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. And now [art] thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand; When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth." (Genesis 4:10–12) ADAM – lives to nine hundred and thirty years Begat - SETH – lives to nine hundred and twelve years Begat Enos ENOS - lives to nine hundred and five years Begat Cainan CAINAN lives to nine hundred and ten years Begat Mahalaleel MAHALALEEL lives to eight hundred ninety and five years Begat Jared

These were the days of Jared when there were Giants already in the land and the Fallen Angels came down to earth to join with the daughters of Men

Noah’s family are Giants compared to modern man today. This makes complete sense when we consider the monolithic size of the Ark that Noah is ordered to build by the Most High. The structure of which is of a magnitude that would be difficult to build without modern machinery, technology and precision.

Some of the Angels in Heaven saw the magnificent beauty of the daughters of Man, they wanted to take them as wives to have children with them. They swore an oath together to do this under the leadership of Semjaza.

200 Angels descend on Mount Hermon and took themselves wives and taught them enchantments and many secrets.

There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. (Genesis 6:4)

The children born to them where Giants, measuring 250 feet tall and when they had consumed all that Man was able to provide them, they began to consume Man. They would sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and , and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood.

taught Man how to make metal weapons and armour. He taught them the precious stones and antimony and eye beautifying.  Semjaza taught them root cuttings and enchantments.  Armaros taught them the resolving of enchantments.  Baraqijal taught astrology.  Kokabel taught the constellations.  Ezeqeel taught the knowledge of the clouds.  Araqiel taught the signs of the earth.  taught the signs of the sun.  taught the course of the moon.

As Man perishes, the earth cries out and the Angels , , , and hear the voice of earth that was made without inhabitant, the souls of Men who have died ask to bring their case to The Most High and the Angels report to the Most High. Uriel is sent to prepare Noah

And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch (Genesis 6:13)

Raphael is sent to bind Azazel, make an opening in the desert and cast him into the darkness until the great day of judgement. And to heal the earth which the Angels had corrupted. And to heal from the plague of the secret things disclosed by the Watchers.

Gabriel is sent to destroy the children of the Watchers, to make them to fight one another until there is not one left standing, and to set time to the one’s who hoped to have an eternal life to 500 years.

Michael is sent to bind Semjaza and his associates who united with the women. When they have seen their sons slay one another and the destruction of their beloved ones, then bind them fast in the valleys of the earth for 70 generations. Until those days when they shall be led off to the abyss of fire. And whoever shall be condemned from here on shall be bound with them to the end of all generations.

The fallen Angels call to Enoch to vouch and petition the Most High of their repentance, and to ask for reinstatement into Heavens Eternity. Enoch scribes their petition but soon after delivers their answer that there will be no peace for them.

Because of the children’s Evil Spirits which are now trapped in the earth being from the Daughters of Man, these spirits shall rise up against the children of men and against the women, because they have proceeded from them.

The few mysteries the fallen Angels knew and had shared with the women where worthless ones, but has caused men and women to work much evil on the earth.

The fallen angels who have connected themselves with women, and their spirits assuming many different forms are defiling mankind and shall lead them astray

These are the Heavenly Watchers: Uriel, who is over the world and over the abyss Raphael, who is over the spirits of men. , who takes vengeance on the world of the luminaries. Michael, he that is set over the best part of mankind and over chaos Saraqael, who is set over the spirits, who sin in the spirit Gabriel, who is over and the serpents and the Cherubim Remiel, whom God set over those who rise

Enoch is shown by the Heavenly Angels, the many wonders of Heaven and they explain as he enquires.

He sees the seven great mountains, with the greatest of the seven as a seat of a , surrounded by fragrant trees, amongst them one tree like no others of magnificent fragrance and fruit and wood, Enoch asks of the Tree Michael tells him it is where The Most High will sit, when He shall come down to visit the earth at Judgement and the Tree it shall be transplanted to the holy place.

He sees the garden of righteousness and another beautiful tree. Raphael explains that this is the tree of wisdom, of which Adam and Eve have eaten and they learnt wisdom and their eyes were opened, and they knew that they were naked and they were driven out of the garden.

These are the Four : Michael is the merciful and long-suffering. Raphael is set over all the diseases and all the wounds of the children of men. Gabriel is set over all the powers. is set over the repentance unto hope of those who inherit eternal life.

As the world begins to populate with all manner of people that are not of mankind, YHWH becomes displeased with man and limits his time on the earth to one hundred twenty years

And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years (Genesis 6:2)

YHWH decides to destroy man from the face of the earth because of his grief. But seeing favour with Noah, he decides to save a remnant and instructs Noah to save his family and with him establishes a new covenant.

And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch (Genesis 6:13)

YHWH Floods the entire Earth for 150 days killing all living things save the Ark and its inhabitants And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days (Genesis 7:24)

Chalk layers consisting of calcium carbonate from unicellular organisms and sea shells, which are found within the earths layers are called ‘Cretaceous’ layers and they cover the entire earth. These layers can only be formed in water with enough light to promote coral growth. A deep ocean cannot produce this layer.

This is the one layer that covers the entire world, stretching from continent to continent and is on the same base rock. It tells us that the whole world must have been under water at the same time.

The Ark comes to rest on the mountains of Ararat. On the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains could finally be seen. Noah releases a raven which flies to and fro until the waters have dried up. He also releases a Dove three times. The first time she returns not finding anywhere to rest. The second time she returns and in her mouth was an olive leaf. The third time she is sent out she does not return.

And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry. (Genesis 8:13) 35th CENTURY BC

NOAH TYTEA (Uranus – Greek | Janus - Roman) (Gaia – Greek)

Noah and his wife Tytea had three sons, Japheth, Shem and Ham who were with them in the ark, together with their wives, eight people altogether. Soon after they settled, Noah went on a voyage to distribute the world to his sons.

These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread. (Genesis 9:19)

Noah is also known as Janus in ancient Roman mythology. He has two faces because he saw the world as it was before the flood and now sees the world as it is after the flood.

Janus frequently symbolized change and transitions such as the progress of future to past, from one condition to another, from one vision to another, and young people's growth to adulthood. He represented time, because he could see into the past with one face and into the future with the other. Hence, Janus was worshipped at the beginnings of the harvest and planting times, as well as at marriages, deaths and other beginnings. He represented the middle ground between barbarism and civilization, rural and urban space, youth and adulthood.

After the Flood, Noah and Tytea had at least 30 additional children, over and above Japheth, Shem and Ham including two daughters, Rhea and Araxa the Great.

SONS: Tuyscon the giant, Prometheus, Iapetus, Macrus, Cranus, Granaus, Oceanus, Tipheus and 16 Titans which were all giants.

DAUGHTERS: Araxa The Great, Regina, Pandora, Crana, Thetis, Rhea

JAPHETH (The progenitor of European, and East Asian, peoples) Japheth went to with 14 rulers of his generation.

He is usually regarded as the ancestor of the Gog and Magog tribes, and of the Turks, Khazars, and Slavs. In some traditions it is proposed that 36 languages of the world can be traced back to Japheth.

In medieval Europe various nations and ethnicities were given genealogies tracing back to Japheth and his descendants. Religious syncretists later adopted the euhermistic argument that Japheth's memory was distorted into mythical figures such as Iapetus and Neptune.

Gomer Begat Ashkenaz

Ashkenazi Jews are descendents of Ashkenaz.

They are an Eastern European Jew-ish people by religious conversion and not to be mistaken as the Hebrew Israelites from the Tribe of Judah who are a dark skin nation of people.

The late president of Egypt, Gamal Abdel Nasser, stated on television in 1969, "You (the Jews) will never be able to live here in peace, because you left here black but came back white”

The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade - The truth of who the real Jews are is abundantly clear but for knowledge in the last days we would remain ignorant.

And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you. (Deuteronomy 28:68)

They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. (Psalm 83:4)

Ashkenaz Begat Semiramis () - Wife of Cush and Mother/Wife of Nimrod

SHEM Also known as Melchizedek (Hebrew) & Seth (Egypt) Shem went to Asia with 25 rulers of his family.

According to some Jewish traditions, Shem is believed to have been Melchizedek, King of Salem whom Abraham is recorded to have met after the battle of the four kings. From Armenia, Shem left 155 years after the Flood. With him were twenty-two descendants plus eight from Japheth and two from Ham.

A disagreement ensues with Nimrod for reasons that are unclear and he consequently kills Nimrod (). A battle that is recorded in the books of Egyptian antiquity with his character portrayed as the evil Set.

He also engages with Tammuz () and has discussions with his family about the exploits of Nimrod and Tammuz. Eventually in 2047 BC Shem rules in Egypt before dividing it into the 2 parts of Upper and .

When Noah became ill, Shem left Egypt and took over the responsibilities of Noah in Italy.

He built Salem () and was blessed to live until the time of his descendent Abraham when he greets Abraham with bread and wine

And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. (Genesis 14:18–20)

Some sources even identify Shem as a prophet in his own right and that he was the next prophet after his father.

The associated term Semitic is still a commonly used term for the Semitic languages, as a subset of the Afro-Asiatic languages, denoting the common linguistic heritage of , Aramaic, Akkadian, Ethiopic, Hebrew an d Canaanite-Phoenician languages.

HAM (The progenitor of the dark races) - Also known as Cronus or Saturn in Greek Mythology and IRY- (Egypt)

Ham was into magic art, and was called Zoroast. Legend tells that he ate his first 5 children for fear they would take his throne. He hated his father, because he thought himself least loved by him. By his magic he bewitched his father in the "places of generation" so that he disabled him forever to have the use of women, or to get more children. For these and his other detestable impieties, he incurred the wrath and displeasure of God, in a most grievous manner.

Cush – Also known as ZEUS or Jupiter in Greek Mythology and (Egypt)

He initiated the practice of racial intermarriage by taking for a Wife the strikingly beautiful white Semiramis, daughter of Ashkenaz (known in Egypt as ISIS). She was destined to become the Mother and Wife of Nimrod (known in Egypt as OSIRIS).

Cush reigned over both Egypt and Assyria from 2254 – 2194. He mainly reigned from Shinar but moved his throne to Egypt for his last thirty years. The city of Memphis is named after him.

When he arrived in Egypt there were tribes already there. The tribe of Mizraim was living in that area. Mizraim founded a settlement in Janis on the delta which lasted hundreds of years. It was a totally different tribe not governed by Cush.

1ST CURSE OF CANAAN

One day, after his Ham’s father Noah, became drunk with wine from the vineyard that Noah had grown, HAM shamed his father causing a curse to Canaan

And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. (Genesis 9:22)

And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. (Genesis 9:25)

Cush Begat Nimrod

34th CENTURY BC

NIMROD Also known as (Assyria), Osiris & (Egypt) & Apollo (Greece)

About 120 years after Noah’s return from the voyage and consequent division of the lands between his three original sons, Noah began to divide kingdoms and to erect monarchies in the world. The first was Nimrod, son of his nephew Cush. Nimrod was the first over the Babylonians and Assyrians.

TOWER OF BABEL Nimrod was a mighty man of great strength. A cunning and mischievous giant who excited the people to have contempt for YHWH. The beginning of his kingdom was the towns of Babel, Erech, Akkad and Calneh in the land of Shinar (Mesapotamia). He also gradually changed the government into tyranny, seeing no other way of turning men from the fear of God, but to bring them into a constant dependence on his power. He also said he would be revenged on God, if he should have a mind to drown the world again; for that he would build a tower too high for the waters to reach and that he would avenge himself on God for destroying their forefathers.

The Tower of Babel was named so since YHWH confounded their languages, causing them to ‘babel’ to one another and eventually scatter abroad.

And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. (Genesis 11:4)

The reason why there are so many historic stories across the different cultures of the world revealing the same characters and events is because they are the exact same characters and events, only told in the new languages that were created.

Nimrod was driven from Mesopotamia to Egypt by Asshur. Asshur descendants dominated the area of Mesopotamia. Nimrod joined his father in reigning over Egypt for 2 years from 2194-2192, then Cush drops out of history. He lived only 170 years and should have lived longer but his life was cut short by Semiramis (ISIS) and Nimrod (OSIRIS) who had hatched a plot to kill him.

Nimrod (Osiris) reigned Egypt from 2192 –2167 for twenty-five years. In 2167, he was driven from Egypt and fled to Italy where he was killed by Shem. Semiramis (ISIS) also fled to Assyria and stayed for 30 years. During that time the Egyptians were without a king. Nimrod Begat Tammuz Tammuz – Also known as Horus (Hor-aha)

Once Semiramis (ISIS) determined it was safe, she returned to Egypt with her young son Tammuz (Horus). Semiramis (ISIS) told the people that she was impregnated by the spirit of Nimrod (Osiris) and that Nimrod (Osiris) lived on through Tammuz (Horus). Isis ruled for 4 years until Horus was old enough to reign solely.

In 2094, Tammuz (Horus) led a group of people into Shinar to settle. During that time, he left his mother to reign over Egypt for 11 years. He then returns to Shinar to rule for another 131 years until 1968 up to the time of Abraham.

When Tammuz (Horus) returned to Assyria, he found himself in a war with his mother Isis and Ara the king of Armenia. Semiramis (ISIS) went to the Armenia King for assistance and Ara gave her an army. Both Ara and Semiramis (ISIS) were killed in the battle against Tammuz (Horus).

14 Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the Lord's house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz. 15 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these. (Ezekiel 8:14-15)

Tammuz is associated with the ancient pagan religion that led the Israelites astray. Today we know the women were weeping over Tammuz, because he was a fertility god who represented the life cycle of wheat.

Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the Lord's house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz. Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these. (Ezekiel 8:14-15)

THE STORY OF OSIRIS, ISIS AND HORUS

Osiris was a good king and commanded the respect of all who lived on the earth and the gods who dwelled in the netherworld. However, Set was always jealous of Osiris, because he did not command the respect of those on earth or those in the netherworld. One day, Set transformed himself into a vicious monster and attacked Osiris, killing him. Set then cut Osiris into pieces and distributed them throughout the length and breadth of Egypt.

With Osiris dead, Set became king of Egypt, with his sister Nepthys as his wife. Nepthys, however, felt sorry for her sister Isis, who wept endlessly over her lost husband. Isis, who had great magical powers, decided to find her husband and bring him back to life long enough so that they could have a child. Together with Nepthys, Isis roamed the country, collecting the pieces of her husband’s body and reassembling them. Once she completed this task, she breathed the breath of life into his body and resurrected him.

They were together again, and Isis became pregnant soon after. Osiris was able to descend into the underworld, where he became the lord of that domain. The child born to Isis was named Horus, the hawk-god

In later Egyptian dynastic times, Horus was merged with the god . "Ra, who is Horus of the Two Horizons", he was believed to rule in all parts of the created world, the sky, the earth, and the underworld. He is associated with the falcon or hawk. When in the New Kingdom, the god rose to prominence, he was fused with Ra as Amun-Ra. Ra, the ancient Egyptian solar deity, the Sun God, the sun disc, the eye of Ra. By 5th Dynasty he had become the major god in ancient Egyptian religion, identified primarily with the midday sun. The major cult centre of Ra is Heliopolis where he is identified with the local sun-god Atum.

Pharaohs believe they are the re-incarnation of the ‘Sun God’ Osiris EGYPTIAN ANTIQUITY

Land of of Babylonia

Abraham was born under the name Abram in the city of Ur in Babylonia in the year 1948 from Creation (circa 1800 BCE). He was the son of Terah, an idol merchant, but from his early childhood, he questioned the faith of his father and sought the truth. He came to believe that the entire universe was the work of a single Creator, and he began to teach this belief to others.

Terah, his father, leads his people to settle in Harran, a city far up and to the east of the Euphrates, near the Hatti, where he eventually dies.

Abram tried to convince his father, Terah, of the folly of idol worship. One day, when Abram was left alone to mind the store, he took a hammer and smashed all of the idols except the largest one. He placed the hammer in the hand of the largest idol. When his father returned and asked what happened, Abram said, "The idols got into a fight, and the big one smashed all the other ones." His father said, "Don't be ridiculous. These idols have no life or power. They can't do anything." Abram replied, "Then why do you worship them?"

Eventually, the one true Creator that Abram had worshipped called to him, and made him an offer: if Abram would leave his home and his family, then He would make him a great nation and bless him.

Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee. (Genesis 12:1)

Abraham also adopts his brother's son, Lot, as his own (presumably as his potential successor in light of his own failure to produce a son). They head south to Canaan where Abraham occupies the region around the later Jebusite city of Hebron, and Lot the plain near the River Jordan and the city of Sodom Famine strikes and so they move on and into Egypt. Fearing for his life because of the beauty of his wife Sarai, he declares he is her brother and pharaoh takes her into his house. YHWH plagues the Pharoahs house and Abraham is sent out from Egypt

And the Lord plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife. (Genesis 12:17) BC

MIDDLE KINGDOM – 13th Dynasty of Egypt 2ND INTERMEDIATE PERIOD – 14th Dynasty of Egypt

Hammurabi is the sixth king of Babylon.

Returning to Canaan, Lot became weary of the little room to be shared and so travelled to live in Sodom, but the people where wicked in their ways.

Because Sarai is unable to produce children, she tells Abram that he must bare a child with her maid servant Hagar. Soon Ishmael is born

YHWH tells Abram of the coming slavery of his people

And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years (Genesis 15:13)

YHWH changes Abram’s name to Abraham and Sarai to Sarah and tells the promise of nations to his seed and of the land of Canaan and Israel

YHWH establishes the covenant of circumcision and declares the birth of Isaac to Sarah in one year

And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God. (Genesis 17:8)

Because of man’s wickedness in the lands of Sodom and Gomorrah, YHWH has judged the city to be destroyed. Abraham pleads with YHWH if even a few are found righteous, will he save the people. Abraham knows that his nephew dwells in the land and wishes to save his family.

The Angels go into the City and are given refuge by Lot. They tell him to leave with his family giving instructions not to look back. As the city is being destroyed Lot’s wife looks back and is turned into a pillar of salt

Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven. (Genesis 19:24) In modern times, extremely high levels of radioactivity found at the site denote a major catastrophic event occurred in the region, which are consistent with the biblical account of the destruction of the cities.

Abraham dies. Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah.

1750 BC – The kingdom of Moab. Moab, first son of Lot and grandnephew of Abraham, gains the stretch of land between the River Arnon and the Brook of Zered on the Dead Sea coast

1725 BC – Issac the late son of Abraham Isaac is Abrahams successor as leader of the early Israelites. He lives much of his life in Hebron and eventually dies there, but with at least one interruption in the meantime - during a period of famine he (and by inference his tribe) are forced to seek refuge with the Canaanite ruler of later Philistine territory, Abimelech of Gerar (son of the Abimelech who had previously had dealings with Abraham).

Abimelech later visits Isaac when he is encamped at Beer-sheba, and expresses a desire to renew the covenant which had been entered into between their fathers.

1700 BC – Jacob tricks Esau Isaac’s sons Jacob and Esau challenge for the blessing of Isaac. Rebekah convinces Jacob to trick his father into receiving the blessings which makes Esau mad.

And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob. (Genesis 27:41)

One day Jacob wrestles with a man who at first instance appears to be an Angel, but alternative commentary suggests that this could be Esau himself. Perhaps the brothers settled their difference Man to Man

24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. 25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. 26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. 27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. 28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. 29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there. (Genesis 32: 24-29)

Isaac's eldest son Esau, eventually gains his birthright (despite his brother's attempts to steal it from him). This is the land that is centred around Mount Seir, from the Brook of Zered to the , which becomes the kingdom of Edom.

Jacob goes on to create an abundant family and splits his twelve sons into the region to create the 12 tribes of Israel.

17th CENTURY BC 2ND INTERMEDIATE PERIOD – 14th Dynasty of Egypt

1650 BC - Jacob Jacob spends some years in Harran, where he meets his wives. As he returns them and his large family to Hebron, Jacob stops off at the Canaanite city of Shechem where his daughter is attacked, so Jacob's sons slay all the males within the city walls.

Upon his return home, Jacob succeeds Isaac as the leader of his people, with his twelve sons forming the basis of the later tribes of Israel.

Although Joseph was a favourite son of Jacob, it was Judah who received the blessing of the land of Israel as all other tribes dispersed or assimilated into Judah

Judah's name means praise and he became the object of praise among his brethren. He would be the leader of Jacob's family and his descendants would lead the nation of Israel.

Starting with , all the kings of Israel came from the tribe of Judah. Their rule would continue until Shiloh comes. The word "Shiloh" means "unto him the peoples shall gather" -- a reference to the Messiah.

Eventually the descendants of Israel are known as Jews, which is a derivation of the name of Judah. It is important to note that to be a Jew is to be of the Nation of Judah and not a religious institution

And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. (Revelation 5:5)

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)

1625 BC - Joseph A young Hebrew son of Jacob, grandson of Issac, is sold by his brothers into slavery. His is a favourite son of his father and his brothers become jealous. Once in Egypt he quickly becomes noticed for his skill and is picked out because of his clever abilities to eventually become counsellor to Pharaoh.

I am Joseph your brother, whom you sold into Egypt” (Genesis 45:4)

By interpreting the dreams of pharaoh (7 years of plenty and seven years of famine), he rises to 2nd in command whole of Egypt. He rescues his family from the famine in Canaan by bringing them to Egypt.

And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt. (Genesis 41:44)

The Israelites slowly descend into Egypt to escape famine just as Lower Egypt is invaded and governed by the , probably making their entrance and acceptance there easier. They settle in the region of modern , at first as welcomed guests but later enduring worsening conditions and eventually slavery.

According to sources, Joseph is the focus of Hebrew leadership when they first arrive there, but their deteriorating conditions mean that the situation four hundred years later is very different, with no apparent ruling house, although Hebrew nobility survives.

Jacob dies

Before Joseph dies, he tells his people that the time will come when they will depart Egypt as promised

And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. (Genesis 50:24) BC

Egypt is invaded by the Shemitic Hyksos

The Hyksos meet little resistance, subdue the country by military force. They brought their advanced technology with them and from their style of governing to their religion, it seems as though they didn’t entirely take over Egyptian culture so much as absorbed it. It’s unclear how many other cities came under the control of the Hyksos during their reign, but it’s thought that their rule might have extended as far south as Abydos, and certainly to Heliopolis. Records show that the Hyksos burnt the cities, destroyed temples, and led women and children into slavery

1549 BC - The Semitic Hyksos are finally expelled from Egypt by I

The Hebrews grow in massive numbers and are doing exceedingly well in their new land thanks to Josephs early influence.

And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them. (Exodus 1:7)

The new Pharaoh knows not of Joseph and having no allegiance to the Hebrews who are doing very well in the land grows concerned at their numbers

Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land.(Exodus 1:10)

The Hebrew are now slaves but manage to overcome the hardships and they multiply. Pharaoh orders for their numbers to be reduced and decreed that all baby boys were to be destroyed.

And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.(Exodus 1:22)

Moses is born of the Levite tribe of Israel. When Moses, Jochebed‘s youngest child, was born, she hid him for three months until she could hide him no longer. To save her son's life, she made a wooden chest, then let the chest float in the . Found by the Pharaoh's daughter, she decided to adopt him

And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink(Exodus 3:2) Moses, nursed by his true mother, is returned to daughter and grows up in the privileged household of the royal family

Four hundred years after their descent into Egypt, the Hebrews have multiplied from a band of seventy into a people numbering thousands, but they have been reduced to slavery. Nobility still exists, however, and is represented in the sources by the descendants of Levi. The most recent of his descendants is Moses, who possibly fulfils the role of an advisor or even minister to Pharaoh who may be Ramses II.

1230 BC – Moses kills an Egyptian in protest of the harsh treatment of the Hebrew slaves, Moses slays an Egyptian and flees from the household of the royal family

And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand. (Exodus 2:14)

Moses goes into exile and is mistaken to be an Egyptian by some shepherd women. And it came to pass that the Pharaoh did die and the children of Israel groaned at their burden and YHWH heard their cries.

And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. (Exodus 2:24)

At the vision of the burning bush God tells Moses he will bring Aaron, his brother, to Moses and together they will see Pharaoh to plea for the slaves to be released.

And the appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. (Exodus 3:2)

THE PLAGUES YHWH helps the ‘Children of Israel’ escape slavery in Egypt by inflicting ‘Ten Plagues’ upon the Egyptians because Pharaoh would not release the Israelite slaves.

The rods of both Moses and Aaron were endowed with miraculous power during the Plagues of Egypt because of Pharaohs reluctance to free the Children of Israel. And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you. (Exodus 3:14)

Water is turned to blood | Frogs | Lice | Flies | Disease on livestock | Incurable boils | Hail & Thunder | Locusts | Darkness | Death of the first-born

With the final plague, the Hebrew Israelite slaves were instructed to mark the doorposts of their homes with the blood of a spring lamb and, upon seeing this, the spirit of YHWH knew to pass over the first-borns in these homes

THE EXODUS Moses leads the Israelites out of Egypt by crossing the that Moses parts with his staff. Pharaoh, changing his mind, decides to pursue the Israelites with his chariots.

Moses holds out his staff and the Red sea is separated into two halves by God. The Israelites walk on dry ground and cross the sea. Behind them come the Egyptian army and Moses moves his staff and the sea becomes normal and with that drowns the whole of the Egyptian army.

For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the Lord brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.(Exodus 15:19)

Moses leads the people into the desert where they reach Mount Sinai where YHWH serves up the Laws (Ten Commandments) and Judgements (Exodus 20 & 21)

This is the period of Israelite settlement after the exodus from Egypt. At this time, there is general instability in the region.

The Hebrews build a golden calf, led by Aaron. Moses destroys it and instructs them to kill one another. 3000 were killed that day.

Moses breaks the stone tablets that contain the Ten Commandments, but YHWH instructs him to bring two new tablets.

And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount. (Exodus 32:19)

And the Lord said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest. (Exodus 34)

Moses marries a Midianite (Ethiopian) woman, Zipporah daughter of Jethro the Midian priest. Moses is claimed as an ancestor of the early Ethiopian kings

Moses is told by YHWH of the land of Israel to be given

And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And the Lord shewed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan,2 And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the utmost sea,3 And the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar.4 And the Lord said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.5 So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord. (Deuteronomy 34:1-5)

The Walls of Jericho are destroyed by Joshua and the Israelites.

Crossing the Jordan into Canaan, they laid siege to the city of Jericho. There, God spoke to Joshua telling him to march around the city once every day for six days. On the seventh day they were to march around the city seven times and the priests were to blow their ram's horns.

The walls of the city collapsed, and the Israelites were able to charge straight into the city.

The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the people of Israel. From each tribe of their fathers you shall send a man, every one a chief among them.”

3 So Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran, according to the command of the Lord, all of them men who were heads of the people of Israel. (Numbers 13:1-3)

The Canaanite king of Shalem Leads the fragmented Jebusites against Joshua, but they are defeated and conquered by the Israelites, with their cities being incorporated into the Israelite state. Shalem becomes the Israelite capital of Jerusalem, with the region being occupied by the tribes of Benjamin and Judah

Following the completion of the conquest of Canaan by the Israelite tribes, Joshua, who became the leader of the Israelite tribes after the death of Moses, distributes the land among the twelve tribes of Israel. Samuel is Born

1110 BC - Samson - Son of Manoah.

The first recorded event in Samson's life is his marriage to a Philistine woman of Timnath. An unblessed marriage, his wife is soon taken from him and given 'to his companion'. Samson takes revenge by burning the 'standing corn of the Philistines'. They in turn 'burn his wife and her father'. Her death is avenged 'terribly' by Samson. And so the cycle of violence rests for a while.

Following this, Samson serves as a judge for the Israelites for twenty years before becoming infatuated with Delilah, and is betrayed by her. He meets his death leading the Israelites in freeing themselves from the control of the Philistines. In the last days, the seven seals are opened upon the earth, but before the seventh seal is brought down onto the earth, 144,000 of YHWH’s people from the tribes of Israel will be called forth before destruction of the earth takes place.

7 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,

3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.

8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.

9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,

12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?

14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.

16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.

17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. (Revelation 7:4-8)
