14:1 And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king
of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations;
14:2 That these made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of
Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king
of Bela, which is Zoar.
According to the genealogy charts it has only been approximately 380 years
since the flood and yet here are all these nations and kingships. All
derived from the original eight. Impossible? Not really. These people were
descended from the brightest of humans. They lived long and they were
fertile and they had to repopulate the world. It�s like the trick where you
have two people and they have four children and they have four children and
so on. In 6 generations you have millions of people. These are into the 11th
generation. These are also the results of the dispersal from the Tower of
Babel. Although most of the new tribes living near each other would have
soon picked up each others language and melded them.
In fact what we have now is a fight for space it appears. And since we are
now getting into a section that deals with the coming destruction of Soddom
and Gommorah, I would like to introduce you to a man I have never met, yet
who has made it possible for me to see clearer. His name is Bill Fry, and
he has a web site ("http://www.anchorstone.com/wyatt/"). He has done a
great deal of INTELLEGENT archaeology in the DEAD SEA area. He claims that
the Dead Sea did not exist at this time, and I agree with him. If these
words were copied or written from other scripts then the existence of the
Dead Sea would be assumed at the time. And ignored. But almost everything
in here(The Bible) is mentioned the first time it is come across, and yet
it does not mention the Dead Sea. (They are now discovering what appear to
be the remains of cities at the bottom of the Dead Sea. Strange, but this
is a very small lake and not terribly deep, yet no one is exploring what
could be the greatest find in our history?)That is they are not doing it
openly are they? What are they afraid of?
14:3 All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the
salt sea.(Is there any significance in the fact that this phrase uses the
present tense (is) instead of the past tense (was)? All the rest of the
sentences use the past tense.)Could it be that the vale of Siddim refers
to the site before the time of the Salt Sea? The use of the word 'vale'
implies this.
14:4 Twelve years they served chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they
rebelled.
14:5 And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaaomer, and the kings that were
with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zusims in
Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh Kirathaim,
14:6 And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto El-paran, which is
by the wilderness.
14:7 And they returned, and came to En-mishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote
all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in
Hazezon-tamar.
This is a milestone in the history of the world after the flood. It is the
first recorded war between the descendants of Noah since the flood! It is
also the first time that it records man killing man since Cain slew Able!
Man may have killed his fellow man before this but it was not recorded.
These are firsts. And they reflect the mind set of the men who wrote or
copied this part of the bible, for by the time the Bible was compiled man
had been warring with his fellow man for a few thousand years and killing
him. As a result he could record this without making much of it.(Sitchin
may have written about the Anunnaki fighting and killing prior to this
event but it is not recorded in the Bible.)
14:8 And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the
king of Admah, and the king of Zebolim, and the king of Bela (the same is
Zoar;) and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim:
14:9 With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations,
and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with
five. 14:10 And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; and the kings of
Sodom and Gomarrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the
mountain.
These slimepits were along the area where the Dead Sea is now. And there
were the cities on the west of the Dead Sea. And the slimepits were the
source of all their wealth.What exactly were slime pits? Saltpans?
14:11 And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their
victuals, and went their way.
14:12 And they took Lot, Abram�s brother�s son, who dwelt in Sodom, and
his goods, and departed.
14:13 And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew: for
he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother
of Aner: and these were confederat with Abram.
Has no one noticed that this is the first time in the bible that the word
Hebrew is used? When were they given that designation? That is the name of
a race. Abram is not the father of a race yet. These words were compiled
later after the fact.
14:14 And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his
trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and
pursued them unto dan.
14:15 And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night
and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of
Damascus.
14:16 And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother
Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.
14:17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the
slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the
valley of Shaveh, which is the king�s dale.
14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine; and he
was the priest of the most high God.
I feel like writing this section in colored ink, in order to set it apart
from the rest. It goes fairly unnoticed among all the rest of the words.
Yet the name and person of Melchizedek are known in esoteric circles very
well. Why? What sets him apart? There are a number of mysteries here.
1. Salem is known as the abode of the first witch mentioned in history
(bible).
2. Melchizedec is the first mention of what we now know of as a "Holy"
person, with the ability to �bless� someone. That the two of them should be
from the same area is also very interesting and should alert us to something
strange here. When we now know what a �Witch� really is and that it was a
movement that reached as far as the British Isles and that it involved great
learning, we must question if it was in some way in competition with the
religion of Melchizedick for the peoples minds. Especially if it put women
on an equal footing with men.
3. There is another answer that may shock you. Women were Witches. But we
do not really know what was meant by a "witch' in those days! Things change
over time. What it really might have meant was a woman who had powers that
were not welcome by the Anunnaki! Contact with the REAL creator maybe? Or
someone with psychic powers that could read the Anunnaki? Whatever, they
were afraid of them. And we do know don't we that there is no such thing
as the Devil? That this is a creature of the Roman Church to keep the lowly
in line?
This is a marvelous change in the history of man and yet there is nothing
to tell us about this man or this religion or his right to �bless� us. But
further on he tells us that �Abram� is �of the most high God, possessor of
heaven and earth:�. (Note; Possessor of, not �creator of�. Did he mean that
Abram was one of the Anunnaki's children?)
14:19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God,
possessor of heaven and earth:
14:20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies
into they hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
What you must realize here is the concept of God in the minds of men. When
ALL MEN are created by a creator, why on earth would he set one group of
men above another? Especially when he created them all to be equal? HE
creates and then leaves his creation to develope on its own. And none are
more important than the others. The Creator of life would not help one
group of men kill another group of men, for all are his creation.
14:21 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, give me the persons, and
take the goods to thyself.
14:22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto
the Lord, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth.
ALWAYS IT SAY�S �LORD� NOT CREATOR. AND HE IS CALLED �POSSESSOR� NOT
�CREATOR�.
4:23 That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I
will not take anything that is thine, lest thou shouldest say,I have made
Abram rich:
14:24 Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the
men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.
Since this is the prelude or build up to the destruction of Sodom and
Gomorrah and other cities of this plain, we should not pass it by so easily.
And since nothing written in the bible is without meaning we must look
closer into this battle and its outcome. A close look shows that men are
fighting over space and goods, and dominance. It looks like the flood did
not solve the problem of over breeding.
