Enoch’s 364-Day Calendar, the 120-Year Warning & Earth’s Upheaval | Anunnaki Origins Podcast 039 · Anunnaki Origins Podcast

• 0:00
  Enoch warns the people against errors when calculating the year
• 0:03
  length in the first book of Enoch.
• 0:05
  Without noting this correction, the order of the celebrations
• 0:08
  would be upset. The year.
• 0:11
  Used to last 364 days instead of 365 for a while.
• 0:16
  Herodotus. Even mentions ancient Earth
• 0:18
  perturbations in his history. The Egyptian priests at
• 0:22
  Heliopolis informed him of this. The Sun had changed its position
• 0:26
  four times in the past 10,000 years, twice rising in the West
• 0:30
  and twice in the east. The axis.
• 0:32
  Of the earth had been displaced 4.
• 0:34
  Times as well. Herodotus statement coincides
• 0:37
  with the ancient religious sources describing significant
• 0:40
  disturbances during Inosh's reign.
• 0:43
  According to the Hebrew oral tradition, the sun's eccentric
• 0:46
  behaviour was also reflected in the era.
• 0:48
  Before the deluge. When the laws of nature were
• 0:51
  suspended, the sun rose in the West and set in the east.
• 0:55
  The Century. Before the deluge.
• 0:57
  Was likely one of many natural disasters.
• 0:59
  A. Precursor to the significant
• 1:01
  event, Genesis 6 mentions 120 years just before the account of
• 1:06
  the deluge. It has been interpreted for
• 1:09
  generations that the. Verse by the Lord refers to 100.
• 1:12
  120 year lifespan for man, Genesis tells us.
• 1:17
  Because man is flesh, my spirit will not remain within him
• 1:21
  forever. But his days will.
• 1:23
  Be 120 years. The text.
• 1:26
  Deals with God's intent to destroy humanity in the coming
• 1:28
  deluge, which contradicts this interpretation of man's
• 1:31
  lifespan. Why offer extended life to a man
• 1:35
  if that is the case? Genesis subsequent verses do not
• 1:39
  support it. Noah's descendants lived beyond
• 1:42
  the 120 year limit after the deluge.
• 1:45
  Among the descendants of Shem, his sons Afukhsad and Salah were
• 1:49
  to be 483, and so on, all the way down to Abraham, who lived
• 1:53
  in 175. The prophecy was not fulfilled
• 1:58
  until generations later, when Moses, who died in 120, lived in
• 2:02
  180 and Jacob in 147. In addition, the average
• 2:08
  lifespan of a person has. Decreased steadily.
• 2:10
  Since Moses day until today, when 80 plus is considered
• 2:14
  average, the statement in Genesis refers to something
• 2:18
  else, the meaning of which was omitted during the Old
• 2:20
  Testament's formative years. Furthermore, the fragments
• 2:24
  placement. Immediately before the deluge.
• 2:26
  Account suggests it has some connection to that event.
• 2:30
  Many ancient religious documents bear witness to this.
• 2:34
  Rabbinical literature, for instance, describes Noah's
• 2:36
  warning 120 years before the coming catastrophe and his
• 2:40
  exhortation to amend their ways. It was a period of.
• 2:44
  Probation, during which man had the opportunity to avoid
• 2:47
  destruction by changing his. Ways.
• 2:50
  The Slavonic Apocalypse of Enoch, also known as the Second
• 2:53
  Book of Enoch, has a similar warning, but here it is given to
• 2:56
  Methuselah instead of Noah. Who is urged?
• 2:59
  To warn the people. That the.
• 3:00
  Destruction of the Earth draws near during the destruction.
• 3:05
  Methuselah was also told that the.
• 3:07
  Seasons would change on Earth. This 120 year interval is
• 3:11
  characterized. By severe disturbances.
• 3:13
  On Earth There were numerous disturbances on Earth during
• 3:16
  this period that anticipated significant destruction to come.
• 3:21
  A ping pong game between the solar system and the skies must
• 3:24
  have been terrifying during this period.
• 3:27
  People and nations waged war against one another before the
• 3:30
  deluge. In the Second Book of Enoch, as
• 3:33
  well as religious documents, Sumerian cuneiform literature
• 3:36
  references such unrest. In the Atra Hasi's epic, the man
• 3:42
  suffered from plagues and another pestilence before the
• 3:44
  disaster. The Mesopotamian plains became
• 3:47
  salty and unproductive due to interruptions in water flow from
• 3:51
  the mountains. Due to this.
• 3:53
  Reduction of freshwater The Persian Gulf could back up the
• 3:56
  Tigris and Euphrates. Rivers.
• 3:58
  The result was brackish waters, which according to the epic.
• 4:03
  The fountains were. Stopped.
• 4:04
  So the flood. Could not rise at its source.
• 4:06
  The field diminished its product.
• 4:08
  The open plain brought forth salt.
• 4:10
  Her bosom revolted so that no plants or grains sprouted.
• 4:15
  A desolate brackish plain replaced the Eden of the Bible.
• 4:19
  Mass starvation and disease became rampant and the survivors
• 4:22
  were forced to resort to cannibalism due to the dire
• 4:25
  living conditions. In addition to a dwindling food
• 4:28
  supply, overpopulation was also a problem.
• 4:32
  According to the book of Genesis Genealogy, the area around
• 4:35
  Genesis had a high population density based on the inhabitants
• 4:40
  long lives and polygamy system and counting only 10 generations
• 4:43
  from Adam to Noah. It is possible to?
• 4:46
  Estimate. That there were over.
• 4:47
  A billion people. Although this number may be
• 4:51
  mathematically correct, it represents an impossible census
• 4:55
  for the number of people in existence at the time of the
• 4:57
  disaster. It suggests that.
• 4:59
  Humans have a very high mortality rate.
• 5:02
  In Genesis, the most obscure and.
• 5:04
  Difficult sacred book. Each word conceals several other
• 5:07
  secrets. Chapter 2.
• 5:15
  Evidence of the Deluge in ancient texts do the myths,
• 5:19
  poems, and hymns of Mesopotamia corroborate the activities of
• 5:23
  the anunnaki in western religious literature several
• 5:27
  sumerian sources present the same events, the creation of
• 5:30
  man, his subsequent modification into a modern man or homo
• 5:34
  sapiens God King's existence and the deluge in addition to the
• 5:39
  book of genesis, a large. Body of religious literature.
• 5:41
  Describes the period. Before the deluge.
• 5:44
  There are many sources such as Enoch's three books, Jubilees,
• 5:47
  Gnostic writings. Dead Sea Scrolls the.
• 5:50
  Haggada or Jewish oral tradition, rabbinical writings
• 5:54
  and. Joseph's Books.
• 5:55
  As well as many. Pseudographic works.
• 5:57
  Extensive Sumerian, Babylonian, and other kunai form
• 6:01
  inscriptions explain much of what these ancient religious
• 6:04
  writings need to be understood. The Scriptures and Sumerian
• 6:08
  literature support and augment each other remarkably when
• 6:10
  viewed historically. Stripped of their spiritual.
• 6:13
  And mythological language. The Sumerian.
• 6:16
  Culture which dates. Back to the 4th Millennium BC
• 6:19
  was. The source of the myths of.
• 6:21
  All Middle Eastern civilizations.
• 6:23
  Such as the. Akadian, Babylonian and
• 6:26
  Assyrian. This culture.
• 6:28
  Spread to Palestine, Syria, Lebanon and Anatolia in the
• 6:31
  West. Their origins are unknown and
• 6:34
  they are non Semitic as if appearing out of nowhere.
• 6:37
  It has no affinities. With Earth A.
• 6:39
  Cardian, A Semitic tongue, gradually replaced Sumerian as
• 6:44
  the people's language. Eventually, the Arcadians and
• 6:48
  Sumerians merged their languages.
• 6:50
  Eventually, the Semites and Jewish people evolved from this
• 6:53
  Sumerian Arcadian milieu. Their language and literary
• 6:57
  forms were inherited from Mesopotamia and the Canaanite
• 7:00
  cultures. This reference appeared in the
• 7:03
  context of Abraham's reaction when the Eastern kings took his
• 7:07
  nephew Lot prisoner textually as the invaders.
• 7:11
  Left, they took lot. The son of Abram's brother,
• 7:13
  along with his possessions, he had been living in Sodom.
• 7:17
  A fugitive delivered the news to Abram the Hebrew while camping
• 7:20
  at the terebins of Mamre the Amorite, the kin of Eshcol and
• 7:24
  Anna, who were Abram's Confederates.
• 7:28
  Abraham Abram had just migrated from ER in Mesopotamia and was a
• 7:32
  stranger in the land. Both he and lots of.
• 7:35
  Others were travellers or visitors.
• 7:37
  The translation of Ibri. As Hebrew is linguistically.
• 7:40
  Unsound. Accordingly, Ibri, as it appears
• 7:44
  in Genesis, would indicate someone passing.
• 7:47
  Through or a visitor. The route BR means a cross.
• 7:52
  Abraham learned that the invaders had taken them from his
• 7:55
  nephew, friend and fellow traveller in the Arkadian
• 7:59
  version of the Gilgamesh epic. Gilgamesh's friend Nkidu is
• 8:03
  called Nibiru in the Semitic Ibri and is undoubtedly related
• 8:07
  to the Akkadian Hebrew from which it is probably derived.
• 8:11
  The. Chicago Assyrian Dictionary
• 8:13
  defines it as the obligation of mutual assistance between
• 8:16
  persons of the same code of conduct.
• 8:19
  Lot and Abraham's situations fit perfectly within this
• 8:22
  definition. As a stranger and visitor in
• 8:25
  Canaan, Abraham's subsequent actions leave no doubt.
• 8:29
  After he fought the invading army, he paid 10% of all loot
• 8:33
  recovered to Melchizedek, the king of Salem, the Philistine
• 8:37
  king. Abimelech, who also controlled
• 8:39
  land surrounding Garar and Beersheba, forced Abraham to
• 8:43
  settle in Canaan near Garar after his suffering.
• 8:46
  Later, Abimelech confronted Abraham at Beersheba, where he
• 8:49
  made it clear that he oversaw the land by supporting his claim
• 8:52
  with troops under the command of General Ficol, having a cave
• 8:55
  within it to bury his wife Sarah, Abraham purchased a plot
• 9:00
  of land for 400 shekels of silver, a tremendous amount of
• 9:04
  money for such a small parcel. As a foreigner, Abraham had no.
• 9:08
  Choice but to accept. This amount, despite it's high
• 9:10
  price, Abraham lived among the Canaanites with forbearance and
• 9:15
  these activities were not those of a native.
• 9:18
  Unless it was by law a. Stranger or alien could not own
• 9:21
  land. Abraham probably had to pay a
• 9:24
  high price for this. Genesis chapters one through. 6
• 9:29
  which? Cover.
• 9:29
  The antediluvian period were written in 800 BC.
• 9:34
  However, most Sumerian stories and legends were written about
• 9:37
  2500 BC or not long afterward. Before and after the Deluge was
• 9:42
  reported on the cuneiform tablet versions.
• 9:45
  Despite the uniqueness of the Old Testament, there is nothing
• 9:49
  here that cannot be found in ancient Mesopotamian myths and
• 9:52
  literature since Abraham's. Activities took place about.
• 9:56
  2100 BC and his ancestors came from Mesopotamia.
• 10:00
  All the Old Testament events before Abraham and the Deluge
• 10:03
  must have originated there, despite it's popularity in the
• 10:07
  Middle East. The.
• 10:08
  Deluge story was universal. We know, for instance, that the
• 10:12
  Eden of the Bible was located in Mesopotamia's river delta region
• 10:16
  and that Adam's creation is a Sumerian myth.
• 10:19
  Sumerian mythology is the source of Noah's story.
• 10:22
  The Ark and the deluge. Hebrew Bible parallels.
• 10:25
  Also exist in Ugaritic. Northern Canaan according to a N
• 10:29
  Canaan poem dating back to 1500 BC, Daniel's story was based on
• 10:34
  a N Canaan poem, the. Ugarit epic of Keret.
• 10:37
  Describes a distant king capturing King Keret's bride.
• 10:42
  Helen of Troy became it's motif later on.
• 10:45
  Furthermore, it is the source of Genesis 12 and 20 where Abraham
• 10:48
  twice. Had to rescue Sarah.
• 10:50
  From the Hands of Other Kings Job is a tale from a Babylonian
• 10:54
  poem about a virtuous man named Taboo Atul Bell, who was
• 10:57
  afflicted and tortured by the gods for an inexplicable reason
• 11:01
  at the same location where a whale swallowed Jonah, a whale.
• 11:05
  Also swallowed Hercules. According to legend, a sea
• 11:09
  monster devoured the Persian hero Jamaahid before vomiting
• 11:12
  him safely ashore. Saktadeva is swallowed and
• 11:17
  escaped by a fish in the epic classic Samadev Pata in India.
• 11:21
  Samson's. Story is so.
• 11:22
  Strange and foreign to Hebrew law.
• 11:24
  That it indicates. That it was taken in whole from
• 11:26
  Canaanite mythology. In fact, his name derives from
• 11:31
  Shamash, the Canaanite sun God. The parallels are so.
• 11:36
  Numerous. That it is impossible.
• 11:37
  To think that the Hebrews borrowed from a contemporary if
• 11:41
  this influence penetrated the Bible so profoundly.
• 11:44
  How did it do so? The Babylonian language script
• 11:48
  and. Literature spread across.
• 11:50
  The lands West of Mesopotamia sometime during the second
• 11:53
  Millennium BC, babylonian became the diplomatic language in the
• 11:57
  Middle East so Syrian, phoenician and Palestinian
• 12:00
  Princess corresponded with their Egyptian overlords in babylonian
• 12:05
  to learn babylonian writing and language these people.
• 12:08
  Needed to study their literature.
• 12:10
  Texts serve this purpose. Among the tablets found at
• 12:14
  Telamana in Egypt were copies of Babylonian.
• 12:16
  Stories of Oreskigal. The queen of the underworld and
• 12:20
  Adapa the mortal who was misled into refusing immortality's food
• 12:24
  and water. Undoubtedly the Hebrews or at.
• 12:30
  Least their leaders. Knew many of the Sumerian and
• 12:33
  Babylonian traditions. Abraham probably brought with
• 12:36
  him these Sumerian traditions when he left ER in Mesopotamia
• 12:41
  as a high priest in eur's government terror would have had
• 12:44
  intimate knowledge of sumerian culture Therefore, the sumerian
• 12:48
  tales of the gods of heaven and earth, the creation of man and
• 12:52
  the. Deluge were the.
• 12:53
  Fountainheads of knowledge and belief for nations of the
• 12:56
  ancient world generally, the Old Testament presents man's early
• 13:00
  history in a condensed form. Due to fierce.
• 13:03
  Political and religious rivalry among sects between Jews,
• 13:06
  Christians and Gnostics. In the early days, many
• 13:09
  Christian texts and Jewish texts were left out.
• 13:12
  As a matter of fact, the Pseudopographer documents dating
• 13:16
  from 200 BC to 200 AD have been lost.
• 13:20
  Pseudopographer is writing with false superscriptions.
• 13:23
  But scholars use it. Today, not because it denotes
• 13:26
  something spurious. But.
• 13:27
  Because it has been inherited and is now.
• 13:29
  Universally accepted the priesthood.
• 13:32
  Preserved A highly introspective version of the vast literature
• 13:35
  available in the Old Testament after centuries of emendation.
• 13:40
  Different manuscripts by Enoch, Jubilees and others depict the
• 13:43
  antediluvian patriarchs Adam and Eve and the creation in.
• 13:47
  Various ways the lost. Books of the Bible explain many
• 13:51
  Old Testament puzzles and inconsistencies.
• 13:54
  There is no mention of Gnostic literature in the scriptures.
• 13:57
  Early Christians harassed and utterly defeated the Gnostics,
• 14:01
  losing their. Literature to history.
• 14:04
  In the early Christian period, spanning Mesopotamia, Asia
• 14:07
  Minor, North Africa, and the European territories of the
• 14:10
  Roman Empire, Manichaism was the most systematic and organized
• 14:15
  Gnostic cult in early Christianity.
• 14:18
  As early as the. 4th century Gnosticism was so widespread.
• 14:21
  As to pose a. Severe challenge to
• 14:23
  Christianity. Valentinus, a prominent Gnostic
• 14:26
  thinker, almost became Pope in the 2nd century.
• 14:29
  This resulted in Gnostic texts disappearing or being left
• 14:33
  uncopied. As a result, Gnosticism reached
• 14:37
  it's zenith. If he had not been defeated, 1
• 14:40
  wonders what impact Saint Augustine, a Manichean born man,
• 14:44
  would have had on Catholic history.
• 14:46
  Biblical research was as. Significant to Palestine as the.
• 14:49
  Discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
• 14:52
  Up until relatively recently, the early Christian Fathers
• 14:55
  refuted Gnostic literature. A small town in Egypt called Nag
• 14:59
  Hamadi found extensive Gnostic treatises in earthenware jars in
• 15:03
  1945. The serpent gods are clearly
• 15:06
  indicated in the Gnostic tracts. Eve created Adam and the serpent
• 15:11
  in the garden is a noble and virtuous animal.
• 15:14
  It is easy to understand why the Manichaeans were persecuted so
• 15:18
  vehemently. Nevertheless, it survived in
• 15:20
  Europe as a religion until the 13th century.
• 15:24
  A study of these. Sources provides insight into
• 15:26
  the. Stories of the book.
• 15:27
  Of Genesis, particularly in the six chapters.
• 15:30
  That cover the period before the deluge.
• 15:33
  These ancient documents describe how the Sumerian.
• 15:36
  Gods operated and. Organised themselves on earth
• 15:39
  despit being hidden in religious and symbolic terms.
• 15:43
  The Old Testament contains 2 traditions.
• 15:46
  The older or Elohist? Tradition which?
• 15:48
  Refers to the deity. In general terms and the
• 15:51
  priestly tradition. Which refers to the deity.
• 15:54
  As Yahweh sometimes called Jehovah incorrectly due to a
• 15:58
  mistranslation from the Greek Septuagint as in Genesis.
• 16:02
  Where there are two. Versions of creation The two
• 16:05
  mainstreams are intertwined throughout the Old Testament.
• 16:08
  Sometimes the. Deity is called.
• 16:10
  El plural Elohim and other times it is called Yahweh.
• 16:15
  According to biblical scholars. Yahweh is an anachronism that
• 16:19
  may have been added later due to the ambiguity of the text.
• 16:23
  Hebrew Elohim is often translated as God at times.
• 16:27
  But also gods. Or divine beings.
• 16:30
  At other times, Canaanites are indigenous to the land, the
• 16:36
  Canaanites supreme deity. L Who was he?
• 16:41
  Western Semitic and Biblical Hebrew generally.
• 16:44
  Refer to the deity. As L.
• 16:46
  Which appears to be. A generic name, A pantheon of.
• 16:49
  Gods appears to. Have lent it.
• 16:52
  It was Enlil who was transcribed syllabically as Elulu, then
• 16:55
  translated into Eli in Ikadian or Semitic, and later L in
• 17:00
  Hebrew as the ruling God of the Western Semitic pantheon.
• 17:05
  The Old Testament refers to him as Enlil, the Supreme being in
• 17:09
  Palestine. Old Testament compilers and
• 17:12
  editors tried to proclaim faith in one God.
• 17:15
  While the rest of the. World worshipped many gods.
• 17:18
  There are still many instances in the biblical narrative where
• 17:22
  L or Elohim appears in the plural form.
• 17:25
  Despite these monotheistic efforts, when Elohim plural.
• 17:29
  Talks about. Creating Adam in Genesis.
• 17:31
  The words are all plural. Let us create.
• 17:34
  Man in our image and after our likeness, the serpent later
• 17:38
  tells Eve in the Garden of Eden, you are not going to die.
• 17:42
  No, the gods Elohim will know that the moment you eat it, your
• 17:47
  eyes will be opened and you will be able to distinguish good from
• 17:51
  evil. According to the deity.
• 17:54
  After the fall, now that man is discerning good from evil.
• 17:58
  Lycos. Plural.
• 18:00
  He is like use. It was not uncommon for the
• 18:04
  deity to address remarks as if to members of the celestial
• 18:07
  staff. When man erected a tower in
• 18:10
  Babel after the deluge, the deity remarked to an.
• 18:13
  Associate, let us go. Down and confound their speech
• 18:18
  as a result despite. Early editors attempts to.
• 18:21
  Claim a monotheistic policy the Old Testament still contains
• 18:25
  evidence of a pantheon in the book of.
• 18:27
  Exodus, the deity. Tells Moses I am Yahweh and I
• 18:31
  appear to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as El Shaddai, but I did
• 18:36
  not reveal myself to them by this name.
• 18:39
  Priestly scribes later added the name Yahweh in the Old
• 18:43
  Testament, the Tetragram YHW, or Yahweh, most frequently
• 18:47
  represents the God of. Israel.
• 18:49
  And is a distinctive personal name.
• 18:52
  Although many explanations have been offered for the meaning of
• 18:54
  Yahweh, it seems most likely that the divine name is a form
• 18:58
  of the verb. To be or HWH.
• 19:00
  Meaning the one who exists? Moses asks.
• 19:04
  The Lord what his? Real name is in Exodus 3 so that
• 19:08
  they will know what to call him. God told Moses I am who I am and
• 19:14
  he said. Tell the people of Israel.
• 19:16
  That I am has been sent to them. I am the one who?
• 19:20
  Exists or who is? There are many interpretations
• 19:24
  of this verse and it is footnoted in most translations
• 19:27
  of the Bible, with the caveat that it can also mean I am what
• 19:31
  I am or even I will be what I will be.
• 19:36
  It's ambiguity is probably. Because it is a liturgical
• 19:39
  epithet. In ancient times, divine names
• 19:43
  were considered intrinsically powerful, and priests were the
• 19:46
  only ones permitted to use specific appellations.
• 19:51
  The Sumerian and Babylonian pantheons only use descriptive
• 19:54
  names. God's name is unknown.
• 19:58
  Hebrew priests probably called the deity.
• 20:00
  Yahweh to avoid possible harmful consequences by substituting an
• 20:04
  innocuous name for the deity's name.
• 20:07
  Similar to this, only a small number of priests in ancient
• 20:10
  times pronounced the name. Yahweh, which has certain.
• 20:13
  Powers in rabbinical tradition. When the deity addressed Moses,
• 20:17
  he informed him that his ancestors had seen him as El
• 20:20
  Shaddai. Genesis mentions El Shaddai no
• 20:23
  fewer than six times. Which is the Hebrew.
• 20:26
  God's description, the Hebrew root shaded, means to overpower,
• 20:31
  to treat with violence or. To lay waste.
• 20:34
  These meanings. Give the deity a.
• 20:36
  Fearsome character. A destroyer or devastated due to
• 20:40
  this. The Hebrew God is known as a
• 20:42
  vindictive and uncompromising deity.
• 20:46
  El Shaddai is a northwest version of the Sumerian God
• 20:49
  Ishka and Semitic Adad, the God of lightning and Thunder of the
• 20:53
  Hittites. His thunderbolts are often
• 20:55
  depicted in his hand as the Anatolian mountain God, the
• 21:00
  Assyrian. Word shade.
• 21:02
  Can also be connected to Shaddai linguistically.
• 21:06
  The Fertile Crescent was divided among the children of Enlil
• 21:09
  after. The Deluge.
• 21:10
  When the Anunnaki rebuilt Mesopotamia's cities, Nanarsin
• 21:14
  assigned Ishqu, Adad and UTU Shamash to oversee Anatolia and
• 21:19
  Lebanon in Mesopotamia and the Western Lands, with Shamash, the
• 21:23
  goddess Inana Ishtar ruled Lebanon.
• 21:28
  Adad, Shamash and Ishtar constituted the pantheon of the
• 21:31
  Levant. After the Deluge, his influence
• 21:34
  spread from Anatolia, the Hittites land, to Jerusalem, far
• 21:38
  to the South. Ezekiel 16 illustrates this with
• 21:43
  the statement your father was an Amorite and your mother was a
• 21:46
  Hittite, in addition to suggesting many.
• 21:49
  Gods, these lesser gods. Have intervened in man's
• 21:52
  affairs. Genesis. 6 explicitly states
• 21:55
  this. With the increase of the human
• 21:58
  population on earth and the birth of daughters to them the
• 22:01
  divine beings, Elohim noticed how beautiful the human
• 22:05
  daughters were and took any of them to be their wives.
• 22:09
  Nephilim appeared on earth at that time and later after the In
• 22:13
  ancient times, divine beings mated with human daughters and
• 22:16
  bore children. Nephilim seems to be the
• 22:19
  biblical term for these lesser. Deities.
• 22:22
  Does Mesopotamian literature reflect Nephilim's descent?
• 22:26
  Is it possible? That they were Anunnaki who
• 22:28
  descended to Earth during the antediluvian period.
• 22:31
  There was only one group with these names, as we'll see.
• 22:34
  In Hebrew, Nephilim literally means fallen ones, or better
• 22:38
  yet, those who drop down. It is sometimes translated as
• 22:42
  fallen angels in the sense of being cast down or evil angels.
• 22:47
  But the text. Does not support this
• 22:48
  interpretation in modern translations.
• 22:52
  The policy is to leave the. Term nephilim intact.
• 22:55
  As it has caused. Problems for theologians and
• 22:57
  translators throughout history In ancient times, Malbim, A
• 23:02
  noted Jewish biblical commentator from the 19th
• 23:05
  century, claimed that the rulers of Middle Eastern countries were
• 23:08
  the sons of deities from the heavens.
• 23:11
  The Nephilim were the sons of Pagan gods, According to him.
• 23:15
  The Book of Jubilees. Describes the descent of two
• 23:17
  groups of Nephilim or angels down to Mount Harmon in northern
• 23:21
  Palestine. A group descended to Earth
• 23:24
  during the days of Jared in the 10th Jubilee.
• 23:27
  A second group descended during the days of Noah in the 25th
• 23:30
  Jubilee. According to this source, they
• 23:33
  descended to Earth about 750 years apart since a jubilee.
• 23:37
  Year is 50 regular. Years according to the
• 23:41
  Babylonian Enuma Elish Anunnaki descended to.
• 23:45
  Populate the Earth. The daughters of man also
• 23:48
  intermarried with these divine beings.
• 23:50
  In the Old Testament, angels were described as lesser deities
• 23:53
  who were quite active in the affairs of men.
• 23:57
  In the past, the term has been applied to any lesser deities
• 24:00
  that interact with humans. Malach is often translated as an
• 24:03
  Angel in biblical Hebrew, but other terms such as Ben Elohim
• 24:07
  or sons of. God are also used.
• 24:10
  Because these messengers could travel quickly, angels with
• 24:13
  wings represent their ability to fly.
• 24:16
  It was. Possible to accomplish this by
• 24:18
  doing it this way? This fact was conveyed in
• 24:21
  ancient times These angels could fly about at will during the
• 24:25
  destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis 18 and 19,
• 24:29
  several angels briefed Abraham on the approaching destruction
• 24:32
  of the cities. EA Spizer wrote in Genesis that
• 24:36
  the famous. Biblical scholar argued.
• 24:38
  In his book Genesis, that when they decided.
• 24:41
  To go to Sodom. They set out from there and
• 24:43
  faced Sodom. According to a Spizer, this
• 24:48
  translation is incorrect and should be translated as they
• 24:51
  gaze down upon the face of Sodom.
• 24:55
  This reading, of course, gives the incident an entirely new
• 24:57
  meaning. Spizer suggests an alternative
• 25:00
  translation of brought them out and deposited them outside the
• 25:04
  city after the angels take Lot and his family outside the city.
• 25:09
  Therefore, the revised text clarifies that the angels.
• 25:12
  Flew over the cities. To survey them when they
• 25:14
  realised their relatives of Abraham.
• 25:16
  Needed to be rescued. They flew them outside and
• 25:19
  dumped them there at a safe location.
• 25:22
  The Serpent, for lack of a better name, since he is.
• 25:24
  Clearly a lizard. Lived in the Garden of Eden long
• 25:27
  before humans ever existed, doing all the work necessary to
• 25:30
  keep it. Healthy.
• 25:33
  Snakes are not the only kind of serpent in the Bible.
• 25:36
  The Serpent of Eden is described in ancient Jewish legends as
• 25:39
  looking and talking like a man. Despite his stature and
• 25:43
  knowledge of the Tree of Knowledge, he unhesitatingly
• 25:46
  challenged the deity. Other sources of information
• 25:49
  about this creature are available in the Haggadah.
• 25:52
  Stories and legends are further elaborated in the Jewish oral
• 25:55
  tradition. Before Adam was created, a
• 25:59
  serpent lived in the Garden of Eden and stood on 2.
• 26:02
  Feet equal to the. Height of a camel compared to
• 26:05
  men. He has many excellent qualities
• 26:08
  and mental abilities. As a matter of fact, the
• 26:11
  Haggadah states that his superior mental power lead to
• 26:13
  both man's and his own ruin. The Serpent's responsibilities
• 26:17
  were apparently mundane commercial tasks.
• 26:19
  For a group of supposedly spiritual.
• 26:21
  Beings including supplying gold, silver, gems and pearls.
• 26:26
  As Genesis describes the products of Eden.
• 26:29
  There is gold and lapis lazuli in that land.
• 26:32
  It is noteworthy. That we have that.
• 26:34
  Preoccupation with gems In many ways the serpent was man like
• 26:39
  before man, and when he cohabited with him in the Garden
• 26:42
  of Eden, standing upright on 2. Legs he was.
• 26:45
  Tall and slender. He did all the gods work,
• 26:49
  especially. Mining and agricultural.
• 26:50
  Work. Above all, the serpent.
• 26:52
  Possessed a superior. Intellect The Anunnaki possessed
• 26:56
  all of these attributes. It is problematic to.
• 26:59
  Refer to this creature. As a serpent, translations of
• 27:03
  ancient words have problems due to giving them modern meanings.
• 27:07
  The best way to describe it today would be as a giant lizard
• 27:10
  or reptile. Today we define a snake as a
• 27:13
  legless reptile, but the ancients may have defined it
• 27:16
  differently. For instance, there was no word
• 27:18
  for serpent in ancient or classical Greek, among other
• 27:22
  fabulous snake like. Creatures the word.
• 27:24
  Dracon was applied to serpents. Dracon is the root of many
• 27:29
  compound words based on snakes and serpents.
• 27:31
  For example, dracon phoros means snaky or twisty.
• 27:35
  Draconctonia means slaying a snake.
• 27:39
  The old Greek. Septuagint, an ancient Greek
• 27:42
  translation of the Hebrew Scriptures, describes snakes,
• 27:45
  giant reptiles, and other. Terrible creatures as.
• 27:48
  Dragons by confusing Dragons and serpents, mythological creatures
• 27:53
  who were winged, legged and fire breathing were created in
• 27:57
  ancient times. Serpents were.
• 27:59
  Depicted as lizard. Like animals with wings that
• 28:02
  could fly about. A metaphor for aircraft.
• 28:06
  As a. Result of their flame throwing
• 28:07
  devices or perhaps the danger of their rocket exhaust, they
• 28:11
  became fire breathing Dragons. In mythology, this background
• 28:15
  exposes man to the serpent gods, antediluvian civilization.
• 28:19
  There is more. Specific information about this
• 28:21
  in Sumerian cuneiform tablets. A tired Anunnaki, or child of
• 28:27
  the Serpent. God appeals to the chief God.
• 28:29
  To relieve them of their burden of mining and agriculture.
• 28:33
  The scene is set here. When man enters, I will create a
• 28:37
  savage. His name will be man.
• 28:40
  I will create a savage man to serve the gods.
• 28:43
  An epic of creation by the Sumerians.
