  • Reply to: The Monumental Baalbek – The largest building blocks on Earth   3 years 11 months ago

    Hello Mr. Tsururgi,

    For me I was taught first Sunday School, then Vacation Bible School, followed by much later Sabbath School; that the reason for sacrificing the lambs on the Altar in seeking forgiveness for ones sins too God was to symbolize The sacrifice Christ made on The Cross to save The Whole World from Sin.

    With Christ dying on the Cross the sacrificing of lambs for ones. Sins ended 32 A.D. Fulfilling "The Promise" or rather since The Bible uses the Word a lot "The Covenant" God made to Dad and Mom meaning Adam an Eve way back in Eden with The Promise of a Redeemer to save humanity from Sin.

    You asked after The Aztecs and their daily religious ceremonies involving sacrificing people to their gods?

    I'm a fledgling in this arena where the Aztecs are concerned which means I am gaining a little more insight with help from The Bible and I'm sure you're probably going to wonder how The Aztecs and The Bible are linked?

    Here it goes...

    The Aztecs worshipped a certain god that is described as a beautiful plumbed frilled a Serpent.

    Apparently, the Serpent God could talk; accordingly as of today this particular Serpent deity sculpture is seen in various places throughout present day Mexico.

    That background story by the Aztecs sounds quite innocent of course, until, a little more background was shared about this Serpent god.

    Somehow this being, this Serpent in a moment of weakness incested it's sister oh by the way the snake god was Male. He felt guilt about this deed and someway committed suicide remember this is The Aztecs story so he committed suicide was resurrected and became The Morning Star and operated from Venus after his Redemption of incest.

    If one practice Christianity, Islam, and Judaism your going to recognize that name Morning Star. Who is He? He is Lucifer Son of the Morning Star.

    Lucifer the one who ignited the War in Heaven described in
    Revelation chapter 12.He is referred to as "the Dragon, that old Ancient Serpent of Old called Satan, or The Devil.

    Why did Lucifer start the War in Heaven, He wanted to be God. Lucifer wanted to take the throne from god. There is a Old Bible Book Enoch, in Enoch God warns Us that Lucifer Son of the Morning Star hadn't lost his cunning despite being cast out from Heaven.

    The thing is The Aztecs saw Him They worshipped him. Jesus after his baptism was being tested in the Desert the last parting shot to the Savior is that All the kingdom's of The Earth will be yours if you bow down and worship me , Christ response "Away from me Satan for it is written Worship the Lord Serve only Him", so Lucifer Son of the Morning Star this is who the Aztecs were worshipping the whole time.

    One more clue in Genesis it says Now the Serpent in The Garden of Eden was More Cunning than all The Beast that God had made in The Garden and He asked The Woman "did God really say ye shall not eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil?"

    Yes I am saying that The Aztecs were worshipping Lucifer and through their Oral History their religious ceremonies They are Saying They Saw Him which also means there beautiful Serpent god could Talk.

    That is basically all I have to say on the matter of sacrifice in The Bible and The manner of Worship with the Aztecs.

    Okay, maybe I have 2 more thing's to add and they are...

    In Job God has an meeting with his Angels Bible says Sons of God came to this meeting now these Angels in question were Representatives of other World's and Satan came with them claiming to Own Us as in Earth.

    After, Adam and Eve Sinned that was True. I

    In Old Testament Time's; Lucifer did Own Earth (or perhaps God allowed him to believe his own delusional power), Christ died on The Cross not only do we get the free gift of Salvation, but, Christ bought Earth back with His Blood; that was The Price of Sin, that was the price Christ was willing to pay to get Earth back.

    Lastly, Revelation chapter 12 says that Lucifer and one third of the Heavenly angels were kicked out of Heaven one third ? That is 1000 wicked angels that was cast down to Earth so perhaps it was those 1000, Angels that The World's great Civilizations were actually worshipping and you're probably wondering why Human Sacrifices?

    Well worst case example I can give is accept holding Themselves accountable for being kicked out of Heaven as a Consequence of the War they fought, against God They are in Turn blaming the People of the Earth so having human's kill each other is a great way for them to get back at God.

    Well it was great talking to you Mr. Tsururgi and check it out about that serpent deity The Aztecs once revered and now in Present Day Mexico There All Catholic. Goodbye!

    Do I understand correctly that it is not the actual pot that is being dated but the fragments of food or other matter attached to the pot? If so a search might reveal something testable within the sphinx or the Great Pyramid or something that is known to have been removed from one of these sites. It would be interesting to know whether those who believe they originate from very far back in antiquity are correct or not.

  • Reply to: Students Unearth Rare Treasures at Lost Biblical City of Ziklag   3 years 11 months ago
    Comment Author: Zucchini

    Hello Mr. Whelan,

    This is definitely the best Article I've read. In the 90's, 1996 if I am the cable network A&E produced A Documentary Series...
    Mysteries of the Bible it was hosted by Richard Kiley while The Actress Jean Simmons read the Biblical Passages, I can recall slightly The Academics speaking on Ziklag in relation to King David.

    Objects that are being found at the possible Ziklag site are most intriguing. Canaanites gods like Baal found proof of Israel breaking The Covenant of God by taking part in that endeavor also proof of The Nations that lived in Canaan before Israel's arrival truly did worship these deities.

    Naturally, the baal image has been found so I was wondering just in general are they certain baal carried a spear? Not a lightening bolt or thunder bolt? 1st King's says baal was worshipped as and weather god hence the reason behind First King's Chapter 19.

    Excellent article!

    Surprised you didn't mention that the ancient Israelites seemed to have no concept of a heaven, death in fact seemed so inconsequential that a witch (the witch of Endor) was able to summon the soul of God's prophet for king Saul

  • Reply to: Where are Ashkenazi Jews from? Their Origins May Surprise You   3 years 11 months ago
    Comment Author: Raymond Nolan Scott

    Elan Elhaik's 2013 Genetic study on Ashkenazi Jews made use of part of data set (Behar and others, 2010), focused specifically on the Khazar hypothesis, arguing that it has strong genetic support.
    This claim was built on a series of analyses similar to those performed in Behar and other's original study that initially reported the data. The reanalysis relied on the assumption that the Armenians and Georgians of the South Caucasus region could serve as appropriate proxies for Khazar descendants (Elhaik, 2013). This assumption is problematic for a number of reasons.
    First, because of the great variety of populations in the Caucasus region and the fact that no specific population in the region is known to represent Khazar descendants, evidence for ancestry among Caucasus populations need not reflect Khazar ancestry.  Second, even if it were allowed that Caucasus affinities could represent Khazar ancestry, the use of the Armenians and Georgians as Khazar proxies is particularly poor, as they represent the southern part of the Caucasus region, while the Khazar Khaganate was centered in the North Caucasus and further to the north. Furthermore, among populations of the Caucasus, Armenians and Georgians are geographically the closest to the Middle East, and are therefore expected a priori to show the greatest genetic similarity to Middle Eastern populations. Indeed, a rather high similarity of South Caucasus populations to Middle Eastern groups was observed at the level of the whole genome in a recent study (Yunusbayev and others, 2012). 
    Thus, any genetic similarity between Ashkenazi Jews and Armenians and Georgians might merely reflect a common shared Middle Eastern ancestry component, actually providing further support to a Middle Eastern origin of Ashkenazi Jews, rather than a hint for a Khazar origin.

    A large study made by Wayne State University in 2013 contains genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphisms in 1,774 samples from 106 Jewish and non Jewish populations that span the possible regions of potential Ashkenazi ancestry: Europe, the Middle East, and the region historically associated with the Khazar Khaganate. The data set includes 261 samples from 15 populations from the Caucasus region and the region directly to its north, samples that have not previously been included alongside Ashkenazi Jewish samples in genomic studies. Employing a variety of standard techniques for the analysis of populationgenetic structure, we find that Ashkenazi Jews share the greatest genetic ancestry with other Jewish populations, and among non-Jewish populations, with groups from Europe and the Middle East. No particular similarity of Ashkenazi Jews with populations from the Caucasus is evident, particularly with the populations that most closely represent the Khazar region. ” (2013, Wayne State University)

    This could explain why Israelites claim an Egyptian descent and continued to have contact with it throughout the Bible (their own text which explicitly says they are not to return to it) why after all would it be that Babylon, which conquered them, became synonymous with an oppressive empire even into the new Testament but Egypt tends to be viewed more neutrally (both as good and bad) According the new Testament Jesus was even born in Egypt, meaning there was likely a community of Jewish people there

  • Reply to: What Do You Think About Atlantis?   3 years 11 months ago
    Comment Author: Wizdym4aolcom

    I'd written a paper in college back in 1970 about the archaeologists who researched Santorini and Crete, including their speculation that  the Minoan civilization may well have been the origin of the story Plato related about an impressive ancient civilization destroyed by a huge cataclysm. I'll try to share what I recall, but encourage a thorough research of the Minoan civilizaion..
    I do recall that the Greek archaeologist whose book I had read said that since antiquity, a pair of mountains on the Greek mainland's shore was also called the Pillar of Hercules by Greek residents, and he suggested that was the origin of the reference to them, in Plato's tale, thereby locating Atlantis in the Aegean. Whatever. He also had the insight that the numbers mentioned in the story had serious flaws and contradictions that lead to false conclusions.
    Plato says he is faithfully re-telling a story that was passed down to him, through the years  as retold by the Egyptian priest Solon. Plato first says Atlantis an island with an advanced civilization that was destroyed 9,000 years before. And he describes the island's size as being 3,000 miles. To the teachers who passed on this oral tradition through the years, something was obviously amiss, in that there are no islands that massive, which might be why the description as being "Larger than Libya" came from.  Similarly, the idea of Atlantis being a tale that's been passed down orally for as long as 9, 000 years strains credulity.
    However, the Greek Archaeologist realized, due to the mistaken translation from Egyptian to Greek, the numbers were off by a factor of 10,  which is how the incredible, 3,000 mile continent-size of the island of Atlantis described by Plato, was really an island the size of Crete, 300 miles.  Similarly, the antiquity for Atlantis is more like 900 years than the 9000 years mention by Plato.

    The so-called golden-age of Greek history was built on the shoulders of the Minoan Civilization which preceded them, not only philosophically, but technologically as well, including the fact their palaces were equipped with running toilets. The Minoan civilization was  virtually destroyed by the largest cataclysm in human history, the Santorini eruption circa 1600 BC...which, by measurements of it's caldera, was at least 5 times bigger than the Krakatoa eruption. The Mycenean Greeks, from the mainland soon invaded and took over what remained. 

    Fitting Plato's description of Atlantis, the Minoan predominant colors were black and red, they venerated bulls, were predominantly peaceful and were very egalitarian, their women had more rights than European 19th century women.  

    Scott Wolter and others have interesting reasons to conjecture that the Minoans, as well the the Phoenicians, used Michigan as a source for large quantities of copper is in the Bronze age that were excavated from there in antiquity.
    Certainly there are traces of long-hidden ancient civilizations around the world, but, to a 5th century BC philosopher in Athens, he was passing along an oral account of a huge cataclysm that occurred some 15-20 generations before him. . The dramatic and terrifying end to the first flourishing civilization in Europe was both inspiring and haunting.

    It makes you wonder, if the Bible hadn't been touched by the archeologists during the dig and they had no prior knowledge of it would they have ever come to the conclusion that it was Ahab's ivory structure in the first place?

    With Jezebel's supposed relation to Queen Dido it's very possible that she both she and Dido were simply used by both Jewish and Roman writers as bits of nationalistic propaganda, wanting to preserve their own ways and rights at the expense of these two great leaders

  • Reply to: Atlas: The God with the World on His Shoulders   3 years 11 months ago
    Comment Author: Zucchini

    Hello Mr. Wu,

    So the conversation is about Zeus' claims of power?

    Atlas being subdued by Zeus or by The Fates for rebelling against, what is set in stone?

    I understand Mr. Wu that you are interested in radical interpretations?

    I can provide at least 5, interpretations. Using the Bible.

    Radical-1. I believe based upon my study of The Book of Enoch, that the showdown between Zeus/ Atlas really happened.

    Interpreting moments in The Bible can be challenging; but, I've come to learn a important lesson just follow the Key Phrases in Biblical Passages likewise, In the Beginning..., Genesis; In the Time of Abraham..., Job; In the Time of The Judges..., Book of Ruth.

    Enoch? Well let's try... In The Time of Jared... Is how Enoch begins.

    So one has to consider what significant event is probably happening within The Genesis Timeline Leading up to The Great Flood.

    Now one must do a Word Search of a sorts such as 200 really bad Angels. Pay attention to the 10 Captains and the 10 Lieutenants names I guarantee you will be able to match their names with beloved stories we know as Myths.

    200 Angels father numerous children that are gigantic they grow to 3000 feet in height; oh and they are also Cannibals and indulged Abominable Behavior what the Scriptures refers to as Sin or Iniquity.

    Radical-2. Temple dedicated to the god of war found in Turkey once known as Mesopotamia. The deity name? Ningirsu in Enoch this is Azazel the angel who taught Man Warfare He even crafted The weapons for the Epic blood soaked battlefields.

    Part of the Reasons for The Great Flood Genesis says That Earth was filled with violence and All Men's heart was filled with were Evil thoughts.

    Azazel Ningirsu temple I feel is somehow his house as the dwelling he once lived in. I find myself noting the etched figure in Stone surly one can see the figures wing's?

    I firmly believe that Ares/Mars, were Azazels Twin son's Azazel like his 199 brethren had even more children subsequently, doubling, Earth's population stressing out Earth hetself; that She cried unto God for Justice (Earth in Enoch is referred as Sheol), then there is Baraquiel some angel who did something with astrology but, will wonders ever cease?

    Baraquiel his name is mentioned a lot in The Old Testament starting with The Canaanites living in The Promised Land so does the name Baal and his consort (meaning wife), Asheroth tell me can you find Hera?

    Oral tradition thanks to the records from the Canaanites baal was a weather being I'm not certain of this but, when Baraquiel was created he was probably gifted by God something having to do with weather? Possibly. Oh this also means that Baraquiel is zeus married to Hera.

    Radical-3. Atlas could have been and Nephew according to Jubilees an Angel maintained to Moses on Mt. Sinai that Hebrew had been The Universal Language of Earth for It Is The language of I AM and the Angel's.

    This tells me that with The Tower of Babel when God changed Earth's language The people who lived before the flood their names and specific events that occurred changed with Tower of Babel. Hence the name Atlas!

    For instance, in Hebrew the Children of the angels; are called Nephilims/Rephalims remember they grew gigantic up to 3000 ft. in ht. Thanks to the Greeks we now know them as The Titan's.

    Radical-4. God in saving humanity from extinction pits angels children against each other and their children in Turn is pitted against their Titan parents where their then labeled as gods.

    Jupiter/Zeus (privately Baraquiel baal)
    Odin/The giant Yeimiel kills him quite grusomely I think.
    Anbus/Ankus
    Orisis/Seth (weird Seth evil here I thought of Cain).
    Ra/Horus

    That is just to name a few. Enoch stressed that the angels children and grand children even were immortal so their wasn't a man made weapon powerful enough to kill them accept for each other. Remember the story of Zeus' twin son's? and Poseidons Twin son's? Yes Neptune/Poseidon existed as well.

    Poseidons children rebelled locked ares in a brass jar. Stole him away; it took hermes and artemis to rescue ares/mars causing the twins to kill each other by their own hand.

    That is what God orchestrated to happen in case of confusion God wasn't angry that the Nephilims/Rephalims were born that wasn't their fault God was holding them accountable for their behavior how they lived their lives.

    God granted Them 120 year Probation Period and 7 months added out of respect to the death of Methuselah for he was greatly respected; the children, didn't accept the Olive Branch being extended by God so the Flood happened and they either were sent to Hell in the Heaven's or became slaves of Lucifer 10 of Them to be exact.

    Finally the single most important Radical of all.

    Revelation says that there are 4 Angels currently holding up The 4 Corners of the Earth it's possible Atlas refers to THEM All God has to is Say 1 word They'll let go and Goodbye Earth.

    So I hope Zeus Atlas was very Radical oh and Great Article!

    Oh before I forget I AM sent the Nephilims/Rephalims dreams to communicate with the ones who were more reasonable.
