Kingdom Come

From Josephus’ Antiquities of the Jews 1:6:4: Shem, the third son of Noah, had five sons (Genesis 10:22), who inhabited the land that began at Euphrates, and reached to the Indian Ocean.

1. Elam left behind him the Elamites, the ancestors of the Persians / Iranians.
2. Aram had the Aramites, which the Greeks called Syrians.
3. Arphaxad named the Arphaxadites, who are now called Chaldeans / Ir-aq (we can hear the continuation of Ar-ax), who held onto Nimrod’s Babylon, and are considered to be the live continuation of all the indigenous, i.e. “first people” of Mesopotamia.
4. Lud – The Book of Jubilees says that Lud received the mountains of Asshur and all appertaining to them till it reaches the Great / Mediterranean Sea, and also locates Japheth‘s son Javan’s portion as Greek islands in this sea in front of Lud’s portion. We can phonetically trace the name of the seacoast portion of this territory – “Lyd-ia” – back to “Lud”. Ezekiel 27:10 names Lud as a warrior people who with Phut – Lud’s first cousin from uncle Ham (Genesis 10:6) – were mercenary soldiers of the Canaanites / Phoenicians. Very early on in history, then, we would find the Ludites fighting on Phoenician Troy’s side against the Greeks at the Trojan War. Between geography and deduction we can track the lost nation of Ludites as having transitioned from paid mercenaries to full amalgamation into notorious Canaanite Hittite Empire. Its capitol city was the massive fortress of Hattusa, which had existed, like Troy, since before Noah’s Flood, and was able to repulse attacks by Sargon the Great of Akkad.
5. Ashur / Assur, (for some people “s” and “sh” sound the same) was originally confederate with his uncle Ham’s grandson Nimrod in building Babel, but two megalomaniacs can’t get along by definition, so he established his own nation’s capitol city Nineve; located in what is now northern Iraq and southeastern Turkey. Naming his subjects after himself, he proved himself superior to his rival when the Assyrians became the most fortunate, i.e. wealthy and powerful, nation, beyond others.

Too often the biblical record is treated as a series of events, when we know that all literature, media and documentation is limited to describing single events with flashbacks – “meanwhile, back at the ranch” – to acknowledge overlapping timelines. The following timeline using biblical lifespans in Genesis 5 and 11 allow us to collate co-existing persons and their significant events in history.

In the mid-fifth century BCE, the Father of History Greek researcher Herodotus of Halicarnassus visited Tyre, spoke to a priest, and learned that the town and the temple of Melqart were, at that time, believed to be 2,300 years old. In other words, the city was founded in the twenty-eighth century BC, prior to the biblical date of the Flood ~2350 BC.

Herodotus does not mention a world-wide flood, but he would have known of it as he systematically gathered history from multiple cultures. It is likely he saw no reason to report what was already preserved and well known. The histories and wisdom of “the world that then was” was preserved through the Flood in vaults or on the ark, then gathered in libraries available to Herodotus and other sages.

In support of this consideration, Herodotus likewise does not give an account of Assyria’s origin or of the history of the Semites in Mesopotamia. It’s as if he consigns these records to the same category as known history in the collected works of the sages. Instead, Herodotus’ account most evidently picks up Japhethite / European history where the holy scriptures drops it to focus on the Hebrew nation, immediately after the dispersal of nations from Babel.

Herodotus reports that the Phoenicians / Canaanites had “recently come from that which is called the Erythraian Sea / Persian Gulf to this of ours / Mediterranean Sea, and having settled in the coastland  where they continue even now to dwell, set themselves forthwith to make long voyages by sea.”

This account provides a reliable “absolute” vs “relative” date for this event as occurring during early emigration from the Mesopotamian / Land between Two Rivers and development into distinct people groups.

“And conveying merchandise of Egypt and of Assyria…”

This confirms the above date being after Asshur separated from Nimrod at Babylon and started his Assyrian Empire.

“they arrived at other places…”

Herodotus reports that the “Barbarian Canaanite Phoenician traders went to the first of the States within that land which is now called Hellas.” This detail, along with others, places this account shortly after the breakup of land and languages that occurred during Nimrod’s reign. 

Hellene was mentioned for the first time by Homer in the Iliad, both as a territory, and its occupants, the companions of the demigod Achilles from this place. Even today the official name of the country Greece is The Hellenic Republic. The name “Greek” comes from Grecos, another demigod, son of Pandora and Zeus.

All the signs of the world still in the grip of a post-apocalyptic ice age described by Carl Sagan in “A Path Where No Man Thought are found in Homer’s description of the frontier of the habitable world as just a short distance north of Mesopotamia.

As depicted in Game of Thrones’ Free Folk, people prizing freedom struggled for existence in wilderness ecosystems. Like the Norsemen in the Middle Ages, these settlers traded natural commodities like furs and wood for produced goods like grains and weapons, or they raided.

Hence they were called Barbarians. by the citified peoples to the south. And the epithet has stuck.

We can only understand the Trojan War in the context of its trigger – competition between nations to create weaponized hybrid beings. Mistake the Trojan War for a myth and you won’t understand what is assumed you know, so minimally detailed, in Revelation regarding the same military tactic at the end of time.

To begin with, Greece of this era was not in any way a nation. Instead, the rocky peninsulas and archipelagoes housed a number of small but powerful city-states, each of whom considered themselves proudly independent. So it was no mean feat when Agamemnon managed to bind them together into a unified force for the assault on Asian Troy. The equivalent situation in modern times is the European Union’s support of Ukraine against Russia’s invasion.

Trojan / Canaanite King Priam and Crown Prince Hektor assembled their allies from city- states all along the western Anatolian coastal regions (modern Turkey) and as far away as Elam (modern Iran). The equivalent modern situation is North Korean troops joining Russian forces in Ukraine.

The reason for the war was that Hamites weren’t the only ones parenting supermen. Every nation that aspired to power required a Mother of gods carrying hyper dimensional genes in her ovum. And the Trojans’ seizure of Helen was the equivalent of stealing the ways and means to produce nuclear weapons.

Before Helen, there was Medea. Even more famous than Helen in Greek mythology. Medea appears in the majority of the most ancient sources, including Argonautica by Apollonius Rhodius, Histories by Herodotus, Theogony by Hesiod, Metamorphoses by Ovid, and in several plays including Medea by Euripides.

Medea was the daughter of King Aeetes of Colchis, who traced his [pre-Flood] lineage to Apollo and an Oceanid, i.e. a female hybrid, so Medea carried hyperdimensional genes in her ovum. Medea was also priestess to the goddess of witches, Hecate. Altogether Medea was a prime acquisition for the western-most recently settled colonies of pioneers in Europe at this time when she fled her home with Jason of the Argonauts. However, she used her power to cut a swath of destruction across Greece in every city-state she visited.

Cersei Lannister, unquestionably named after Medea’s aunt and fellow sorceress Circe, can’t hold a candle to this pair of evil queen mothers.

Troy having been destroyed beyond repair and the Greeks having been decimated, the survivors on both sides, led by their respective heroes Trojan Aeneas and Greek Odysseus, sail west over the same sea.

Accordingly the much later Roman account, the Aeneid, has both groups visited some of the same locations, experienced the same difficulties and encountered the same strange creatures such as the Cyclops. This is academically accounted for by Virgil’s plagiarism of Homer’s epics the Iliad and the Odyssey, but the sea between Troy and Greece isn’t so large so the shipping lanes so numerous as to assume out of hand that the two groups wouldn’t run into the same remarkable circumstances. 

Gathering scattered auspicious lines from Roman Virgil’s Aeneid:

The Trojan chief [Aeneas] appear’d in open sight,
August [godly] in visage, and serenely bright.
His mother goddess, with her hands divine
Had form’d his curling locks, and made his temples…
Like polish’d ivory…Or Parian marble, when enchas’d in gold [anticipating Caesar’s statues]…
goddess-born…the great Aeneas…from celestial seed your lineage‘

“O hospitable Jove / Jupiter / Zeus! we thus invoke,
With solemn rites, thy sacred name and pow’r…

To the Cumaean coast at length he came,

Where there is a resident prophetess of Apollo,

Throughout all history the god(s) were called upon – invoked – to empower and bring to pass desired results in every aspect of life for everyone from individuals to empires. 

The process often involved making a contract between the god(s), represented by the leader, and the people with laws that end the contract when one party breaches the terms. Think of a rental contract – don’t pay the rent and you get evicted.

As detailed in the previous relevant post, a covenant is different from a contract.

A covenant defines a relationship voluntarily agreed to by both parties and remains intact even if one of the parties breaches it.

As we read the following, compare Monotheism’s introduction to the Code of Hammurabi’s pagan preamble.

Monotheism

 “I am / Ani the LORD / YHVH / Creator, and there is none else! there is no God beside me... 

I the LORD do all these things…Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker!…Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?…

• I have made the earth, and created man upon it..
• I have raised him up in righteousness, and
• I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts….in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God…

For thus saith the LORD that…formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited…I have not spoken in secret…

Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save….

who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside ME; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside ME.

Look unto ME, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God / Power, and there is none else.” (Isaiah 45)

Tragically, as evidenced by God’s plea, many people chose Luciferian Humanism. We can track YHVH’s rival through name changes over history by his claimed attributes of being present in the light of the sun giving life and wisdom. As there was nothing which he did not see, he was the judge of all. Hammurabi’s law code (1792-1750 BCE) based its authority on this god’s power to create – and enforce – his laws.

We can even track this god into modern times through linguistics.

When Nimrod’s tower enterprise fell apart at Babel in the land of Shinar, Asshur, a rebel son of Shem, hunts down the scattering nations to corral them back into the same general region in what became the Assyrian Empire,.

Shem, “the father of all the children of Eber”, ordains Eber to go out into the world to minister to the fleeing refugees.

That’s just a bit confusing. How is Shem the father of all the children of Eber?

In the same sense of spiritual regeneration, exactly what the more familiar Abraham “the father of all them that believe”, inherited as his Melchizedekian role.

1. though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
2. And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised. For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith…that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed…which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,)” (Romans 4:11-17)

“out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation [Thou] hast made us unto our God kings and priests / melchizedeks: and we shall reign on the [whole] earth.” (Revelation 5:9-10)

Cultural historians confirm the biblical account that righteous Shem’s great-grandson Eber is the namesake founder of the Hebrews of whom Abraham “our father” is the first person identified as such.

“Shem, Arphaxad, Shelah, Eber, Peleg, Reu, Serug, Nahor, Terah, Abram; the same is Abraham.” (I Chronicles 1:24-17)

Eber was the first scion / offshoot who was in Shem’s likeness and capable of carrying out his righteous legacy of leading God’s people in the paths of righteousness.

“the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you…that God in all things may be glorified through YHVH’s Authorized King Of The World / Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” (I Peter 4:1-11)

“The same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved…as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!…Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world…Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.” (Romans 10:12-20)

Note – this is reported to have happened prior to even Isaiah’s era. So who were these preachers of the gospel whose sound went into all the earth, their words unto the ends of the world?

That would be the Hebrews.

“Little is known about the oldest eras of ancient Hebrew civilization because the culture was nomadic.”

And that would be because they were running for their lives.

“Jerusalem…the city which I have chosen me to put my name there…for all the earth is mine.“ (Ezekiel 24:2, I Kings 11:36, Exodus 19:5)

The garden of Eden is not found on earth today, no doubt it was flooded under the Mediterranean Sea at the time of Noah’s flood.

However the entrance to the garden of Eden, being “eastward in Eden” (Genesis 2:8), must still be above water on “the mountain of the LORD” since the gateway to the garden is where the Adams would have continued making the blood sacrifice for sin as taught by YHVH.

This is where Abel’s blood sacrifice was accepted over Cain’s vegan offering, for obvious reasons. Cain did not engage in activities designed to achieve peace, undividedness-unity, alliance with God through respecting his ways. Not even – notably – with his brother. Cain was either competing with his brother to be the favorite, or competing to be an equal with God directly. In any case, unity / peace with God requires unity / peace with his family.

“Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect.” (Genesis 4:3-5)

How did God show respect to one and not the other? Standard MO is fire from heaven,

“the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden…and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep / guard the way of the tree of life.” (Genesis 3:22-24)
