THE HEBREW NATION OR THE STORY OF ABRAHAM CONTINUED
Sodom and Gomorrah
The story of Lot is a very peculiar one. And very misunderstood or misread.
It is hard to understand a father willing to give his virginal daughters
over to be raped. Even to protect a stranger you have given help to.
However, different times, different ways. That these men are not angels but
some of the Anunnaki is evident because of the fact that they can blind the
men with some form of defense mechanism. Of course when the Bible was first
copied from the Hebrews that kind of science was unknown or forgotten.
Most people ignore the fact that Lot and his family,when they escaped
from Sodam, first went to the small city of Zoar which was supposed to
be over where the western edge of the Dead Sea now is. Or that they could
not have been too far from some mountains if they could escape to them
in time to evade the destruction. Everyone has them running to the
mountains. No. They headed for the town of Zoar. But before they reached
this town Lots wife looked back and was turned into a pillar of salt.
Atomic blasts melt people. Lots wife must have been melted! She must have
lingered behind and been caught in the blast. In a land of heat and dryness,
how do you describe a body melting? Where there is no snow that melts? The
only thing at that time in that area that could physically melt was salt.
Salt melts in water yes, but it vanishes the same way that she did. What
better way to describe this event?
Note; Archaeologists are just now discovering what may be cities below
the dead sea. Could these be the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah? Or the cities
that they were running to for protection?
There is an anomaly in this story, where, after they flee in the morning
to the mountains there comes a time when the two daughters claim that
there is no one left after the destruction. And yet they spent the first
night after the destruction in Zoar! They knew that city had not been
destroyed and people were still alive!. Does no one read the obvious?
And they certainly must have met up with people later and told their story
or it wouldn�t have been recorded. Yes? But since they had sex with their
father to supposedly save his genetic line they certainly needed an excuse
in order not to be stoned to death.
In Genesis 20 after the fall of Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham goes back to
his old tricks and Sarah is taken for a wife by another king. But the
Bible says that he did not have relations with her. However soon after
she is returned ( it gives no time span) she becomes pregnant after the
�angels� visit her. There doesn�t seem to be a problem here. Yet the
behavior of Ishmael mocking Sarah is very strange. Of course he would be
following the behavior of his Mother. Was she really impregnated by the
king who took her? Or did his mother feel this is what took place? It
really is an odd coincidence that she becomes pregnant at this time. Don�t
forget that we have a people building their history on miracles and
mysteries in order to create a special tribe. At the same time there is
the problem of her not conceiving before this.
There is a possibility that the Palestine that is spoken of here or
inferred is not the true setting for these stories. Most of the history
and Archaeology of the place does not go back to this time line. And you
will note that if they were in the Palestine of those times, surely they
would have mentioned or had commerce with Jericho. A thriving city in the
gateway to the plains of Sodom and Gomorrah of the time of Lot. Yet there
is no mention of this city. Was the location of the lands that they
occupied to the North of this area? Time and disasters may have altered
the location.
It is not long after that the incident of Abraham offering to sacrifice
his son takes place. The most interesting part of this episode is the
�Ram in the Thicket�. When the Archaeologist Alexander Wholley was
excavating the site of UR, one of the finds was a small gold statue of
a Ram in a thicket. Although later claims were that it was a stag. Why
would the Chaldeeans have a statue of a Ram in a thicket? What
significance would that hold for them? Unless it was made during the
time of Joseph by the descendants of Abraham while they were in Egypt/Ur.
Consider this; If this had been found in Egypt the Archaeologists would
be hailing it as absolute proof of Joseph�s story.
Abraham went to dwell in Beersheba.
Genesis 23-1; And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old and
these were the years of the life of Sarah.
Genesis 23-2; And Sarah died in kirjith-arba The same is Hebron in the
land of Canaan and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
Was he not living with her anymore that he had to travel to her place of
death? This is around 30 odd years after the birth of her only child. And
Abraham didn�t even own a piece of land in which to bury his dead! He was
a nomad wandering around. Not even living with his wife! Strange. After he
sends a servant to find a wife for Isaac, Abraham gets married again and
has more children! In ch 25:9 after the death of Abraham both Isaac and
Ishmael are at the burial of Abraham! So at some time after tossing them
out he must have found his concubine and her son again. And kept in touch
with him!
Genesis 25:18 And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt,
as thou goest toward Assyria,
This sentence may hold a clue to the secret of Moses!
In analyzing these words I realized that it could apply to the Egypt of
Ur as much as the Egypt of the Nile. In my Bible at the back are maps of
the area but it has Syria and not the term �Assyria�. Happily I collect
maps and have a very large wall map of the ancient middle east. Imagine
my surprise when I found that Assyria was bordered by the Euphrates River
to the Borders of Media and its lower border was just above Babylonia,
the land of Ur. In no way is this land �before� the Egypt of the Nile. In
fact it is far from it. If that is not confirmation of Ur as the original
land of Egypt I don�t know what is!
Only the blindness of men determined to find the site of Moses in the
Egypt of the Nile could make them ignore these words.
One of the things that you have to remember is that most of the place
names of the near east, of Palestine and other countries, have been by
Archaeologists working from the Egypt of the Nile. And that was put in
place quiet a while ago also by the Roman Church at the time of the
Crusades. At a time of ignorance about the original name of Egypt. That
puts the site of Abrahams offer of his son to his God in another land
closer to Ur. I have always wondered why he would have traveled so far
to find water for his sheep and grass for them. Why would he go to a
land he had never been to on the off chance it would be good grazing?
