Abraham Flees Ur to Haran, Stonehenge, Ancient Medicine


In history we regularly mix things up. We place things at wrong time frames and we turn everything into a religious worship thing.  Even the silliest things we seem to think that all the people spent their time bowing and worshiping things.  We’ve been sold a silly past in order to confuse the future and a great example of that is at Stonehenge.  Some people claim the Nephilim were on a building plan there, some say people danced and worshiped the sun. Some believe there were sacrifices done there while others think it is possible for it to have been a Hospital, with medical procedures, and that the whole structure dates back 10,000 years.  I don’t believe the Nephilim were crossing the globe building megalithic structures that they themselves could not even enter into as doorways were usually small.  I doubt people went to all the trouble to build large stone structures, rolling enormous stones on logs to get them from a quarry to the place they were used, just to dance around and worship.  Again looking at a timeline tells us there were obviously civilizations in existence prior to 6,000 years ago that somehow became formless and void.  I’m including an interesting article on Stonehenge in the end notes which mirrors some interesting finding of medical centers in ancient Egypt and South America that we will explore later. 

Jasher 12:42 And Abram returned on that day and went to his father's house, he and the men that followed him, and Abram served the Lord his God all the days of his life, and he walked in his ways and followed his law. 43And from that day forward Abram inclined the hearts of the sons of men to serve the Lord. 44 And at that time Nahor and Abram took unto themselves wives, the daughters of their brother Haran; the wife of Nahor was Milca and the name of Abram's wife was Sarai. And Sarai, wife of Abram, was barren; she had no offspring in those days.

It is interesting to me that Abraham openly followed God and openly evangelized others to follow God.  Abraham did this for two years until trouble arose again.  I realize that the bible does not tell some of these stories, and that is alright.  I think Moses’ direction for the torah was in showing the leading of man by God through a sequence of people and events.  I don’t think it was God’s intention to abolish historical records of Abraham’s life.  In Moses’ time he had access to all the history archived in Egypt and he was well schooled in it.  After multiple wars and the destruction of each civilization that was conquered we have lost a lot of documentation of history.  So the bible gives us an overview with highlights, and then encodes things within the text.  Jasher gives us a closer look at Abraham’s life without the day to day dull activities yet with more detail.  This is what makes Abraham more human to us.  It is like the book of Acts in that we read Acts and think there was miracle after miracle, just a constant flow of power.  We are tricked by our minds reading the book in a short amount of time.  Then we mistakenly think that we should be seeing miracles constantly, just like in Acts, but really those events happened over a period of years.  So as we look at Abraham, we see he has a dramatic event and a few years of relative quiet, and then another event occurs. 

45 And at the expiration of two years from Abram's going out of the fire, that is in the fifty-second year of his life, behold king Nimrod sat in Babel upon the throne, and the king fell asleep and dreamed that he was standing with his troops and hosts in a valley opposite the king's furnace. 46 And he lifted up his eyes and saw a man in the likeness of Abram coming forth from the furnace, and that he came and stood before the king with his drawn sword, and then sprang to the king with his sword, when the king fled from the man, for he was afraid; and while he was running, the man threw an egg upon the king's head, and the egg became a great river. 47 And the king dreamed that all his troops sank in that river and died, and the king took flight with three men who were before him and he escaped. 48 And the king looked at these men and they were clothed in princely dresses as the garments of kings, and had the appearance and majesty of kings. 49 And while they were running, the river again turned to an egg before the king, and there came forth from the egg a young bird which came before the king, and flew at his head and plucked out the king's eye. 50 And the king was grieved at the sight, and he awoke out of his sleep and his spirit was agitated; and he felt a great terror.

Personally I am not much of a dreamer; I don’t usually dream anything significant regarding life.  Once in a great while I’ll dream a short snippet that is just me wrestling with something, but really almost nothing I ever dream is cohesive or makes any sense.  Now if I had a dream like Nimrod’s I’d probably dismiss the whole thing as stupid but somehow Nimrod’s servants can make sense of this. However I wonder if the events dreamt in part are so far future as they seem to match (in hind sight of course) what did eventually happen with Moses. I also think the wise men and magicians of Nimrod had something against Abraham.  I think the fact that Abraham showed he was protected by God and that their efforts to get rid of him failed, made them feel less powerful.  They obviously did not change their “religious” practices like others did so if you give someone an odd dream to interpret, under those circumstances, would they sway the interpretation to suit their own means?

51 And in the morning the king rose from his couch in fear, and he ordered all the wise men and magicians to come before him, when the king related his dream to them. 52And a wise servant of the king, whose name was Anuki, answered the king, saying, This is nothing else but the evil of Abram and his seed which will spring up against my Lord and king in the latter days. 53 And behold the day will come when Abram and his seed and the children of his household will war with my king, and they will smite all the king's hosts and his troops. 54 And as to what thou hast said concerning three men which thou didst see like unto thyself, and which did escape, this means that only thou wilt escape with three kings from the kings of the earth who will be with thee in battle. 55 And that which thou sawest of the river which turned to an egg as at first, and the young bird plucking out thine eye, this means nothing else but the seed of Abram which will slay the king in latter days. 56 This is my king's dream, and this is its interpretation, and the dream is true, and the interpretation which thy servant has given thee is right. 57 Now therefore my king, surely thou knowest that it is now fifty-two years since thy sages saw this at the birth of Abram, and if my king will suffer Abram to live in the earth it will be to the injury of my lord and king, for all the days that Abram liveth neither thou nor thy kingdom will be established, for this was known formerly at his birth; and why will not my king slay him, that his evil may be kept from thee in latter days? 58 And Nimrod hearkened to the voice of Anuki, and he sent some of his servants in secret to go and seize Abram, and bring him before the king to suffer death.

Again we can remember if God writes something in the heavens, it cannot be changed, no matter how hard you try to change it.  Good thing Abraham had a guy on the inside.

59 And Eliezer, Abram's servant whom the king had given him, was at that time in the presence of the king, and he heard what Anuki had advised the king, and what the king had said to cause Abram's death. 60 And Eliezer said to Abram, Hasten, rise up and save thy soul, that thou mayest not die through the hands of the king, for thus did he see in a dream concerning thee, and thus did Anuki interpret it, and thus also did Anuki advise the king concerning thee. 61 And Abram hearkened to the voice of Eliezer, and Abram hastened and ran for safety to the house of Noah and his son Shem, and he concealed himself there and found a place of safety; and the king's servants came to Abram's house to seek him, but they could not find him, and they searched through out the country and he was not to be found, and they went and searched in every direction and he was not to be met with. 62 And when the king's servants could not find Abram they returned to the king, but the king's anger against Abram was stilled, as they did not find him, and the king drove from his mind this matter concerning Abram.

Abraham had to hide himself until Nimrod forgot, but Nimrod never really forgets.  This seems like God wanted Abraham to leave and dwell in the land originally given to Shem’s descendents. 

63 And Abram was concealed in Noah's house for one month, until the king had forgotten this matter, but Abram was still afraid of the king; and Terah came to see Abram his son secretly in the house of Noah, and Terah was very great in the eyes of the king. 64 And Abram said to his father, Dost thou not know that the king thinketh to slay me, and to annihilate my name from the earth by the advice of his wicked counsellors? 65 Now whom hast thou here and what hast thou in this land? Arise, let us go together to the land of Canaan, that we may be delivered from his hand, lest thou perish also through him in the latter days. 66 Dost thou not know or hast thou not heard, that it is not through love that Nimrod giveth thee all this honor, but it is only for his benefit that he bestoweth all this good upon thee? 67 And if he do unto thee greater good than this, surely these are only vanities of the world, for wealth and riches cannot avail in the day of wrath and anger. 68 Now therefore hearken to my voice, and let us arise and go to the land of Canaan, out of the reach of injury from Nimrod; and serve thou the Lord who created thee in the earth and it will be well with thee; and cast away all the vain things which thou pursuest. 69 And Abram ceased to speak, when Noah and his son Shem answered Terah, saying, True is the word which Abram hath said unto thee. 70 And Terah hearkened to the voice of his son Abram, and Terah did all that Abram said, for this was from the Lord, that the king should not cause Abram's death.

Terah was not a great dad, he always seems to be concerned with himself rather than anyone else.  He leaves with Abraham and heads to Haran, but seriously I would have left this guy behind in Ur. There must be details we don’t know about his life that kept Abraham connected to Terah.  One day we’ll find out.  Wealth and riches cannot avail in the day of wrath and anger, is very good advice for us today. Serve the Lord who created us, more good advice.

Back to the Stonehenge medical center. If this is a possibility we have to connect some dots.  Previously I posted a video from Klaus Dona, a museum curator, who shows artifacts from South America.  In those artifacts there is a disk, showing the circle of life, from sperm and egg to fetal development to birth.  Made of slate, luddite, and dated back to 10,000 years old, scientists can’t figure out how they made the disk (out of slate) let alone how they knew what a sperm and an egg looked like.  Then again if we think that history is only from Adam, approximately 6,000 years, we can’t explain it.  But if we make a time line, we recognize that there were previous civilizations before the earth becoming without form and void and the creation of Adam.  In the video we also are shown medical tools as well.  If there are medical artifacts found in South America is it possible that there are medical centers in other parts of the world at that time?  In ancient Egypt we have evidence of medical centers as well near pyramid complexes.  In Egypt, with its recent instability and accusation of mishandling funds by the department of antiquities, it may be a long time before we can explore those areas again.   Is it hard to comprehend that at 10,000 years ago there were beings on this planet that had knowledge of medicine and physical well being?  It isn’t if we take into consideration the knowledge of building, energy, vimanas, and the knowledge of weaponry and underground structures that we’ve already looked at.  There is a history that we have not been told about that we don’t learn in our schools but that we are discovering more about it. Eventually we may be able to put all the pieces together. I’ve included the video of Klaus Dona in end notes, it is long and a bit dry but very interesting.   


End Notes:

SECRETS OF THE STONES

Stonehenge exerts an extraordinary power over the people of Britain.
Sunday May 29,2011
As the summer solstice will soon see thousands gather at Stonehenge, an archaeologist discusses his belief that the Wiltshire monument is evidence of a great civilisation which once thrived there
IN three weeks’ time, thousands of devotees will gather in the dark in a field in Wiltshire. They do this every year and each time their number grows.

They are there to celebrate the midsummer Solstice, the longest day of the year, and will wait until daybreak when the sun sends a piercing ray of light through
 Stonehenge, the ancient ruin they have come to venerate.

This primordial circle of stones, eight miles north of Salisbury in Wiltshire, exerts an extraordinary power over the people of Britain.

Some, like the Druids, claim it is the source of a mystical power while others, curious but sceptical, believe it to be the site of an ancient monument that has no relevance to the way we live today.

Whatever their conviction they are all missing the point according to one man who has studied the location for 30 years and believes he knows the real reason why Stonehenge is so special.

“Stonehenge is unique; it is already recognised as a World Heritage Site but it’s more than just an ancient curiosity, it is the place where civilisation began,” says writer and archaeologist Robert John Langdon.
 

“It’s simply the most amazing place in the world and we should all be celebrating the meaning of this incredible place.”

Robert fell under the spell of Stonehenge as a boy. He explored the massive stone monoliths and was intrigued by the official explanation of their origin. As the years passed and he learned more he was puzzled by contradictions in official explanation of its origins.

“The carbon dating of the stones is not consistent. I have discovered that stone post holes in what is now the car park for the site predate the accepted date for Stonehenge by 5,000 years. If this evidence is accepted, and it has been denied for years, it turns the conventional history of Stonehenge, and the rest of the world for that matter, on its head.”

If Robert is right, and he says he has the scientific evidence to prove he is, Stonehenge is the most important archaeological site in the world. It would mean Salisbury Plain is home to the first and most significant civilisation on earth. So how could this have happened?

“The geography and landscape of the site would have been very different. Britain would have been emerging from the last Ice Age, so much of the country we now recognise would have been under water. Stonehenge would have been on an estuary that led to the open sea. Too many important facts have been ignored,” says Robert.

“There is evidence that water was close, but that has been classified as a moat which I believe is wrong. It is also believed the stones were dragged over land from Wales which is misleading.

“The large sarsen stones came from an area close to Avebury which is not far from Stonehenge.  To have brought them overland all the way from Wales takes no account of the fact that according to the official time scale Salisbury Plain at that time would have been heavily forested which would have made that access all but impossible. The bluestones, which are the key to the secret of Stonehenge, were smaller and did come from Wales but they were brought there by boat.”

Robert’s hypothesis is based on his conviction that the men who built Stonehenge were much more skilled and sophisticated than is currently believed. In 10,000 BC, the Mesolithic period, he believes that men in ancient Britain developed the first recognisable civilisation and that Stonehenge was their greatest achievement.

“These were extremely capable people who found a way of drilling into stone and used sophisticated mortice and tenon joints to erect Stonehenge but most importantly they mastered the seas. These boat people, as we can call them, travelled widely and traded and these are the people I believe that Plato referred to in his writings on the origins of civilisation.”
 

So why did these people make such an effort to build Stonehenge? what was it intended to do?

“Stonehenge was accessible to boat people from  all over Europe and Mesolithic men and women came there to be cured of their ailments and to depart from this world. The alignment of the site to the sun and the moon is immensely significant but so is the presence of the bluestones in the circle.

“Bluestone turns blue in water, and was believed to have incredible powers of healing. Evidence from bones found close to Stonehenge suggests that the original inhabitants practised sophisticated medical procedures which included dentistry, limb removal and even brain surgery.

“These were not the fur-clad hunter gatherers living in mud huts that many mistakenly believe were the builders of Stonehenge. They were instead members of a great civilisation that moved out, leaving Stonehenge as the only surviving physical evidence of their genius.”

If Robert Langdon is right Stonehenge is much older than the Pyramids and there is a surprising connection between the two ancient stone monuments.

“Over the centuries the climate and landscape in Britain changed. Mesolithic men used their seafaring skills to move to a more sympathetic environment. They traded widely and sailed south to what is now the Mediterranean and moved in along the coast from Egypt to Greece and Italy. The ancient Egyptians’ skill at engineering and building with stone had its roots in the lessons learnt by the men who built Stonehenge.”

It is not only archaeologists with a theory about the significance of Stonehenge. The Druids regard it as a sacred place where they perform spiritual rituals.
 

Robert says: “I don’t have any disputes with the Druids and they don’t seem to mind me. I’ll be rubbing shoulders with lots of them at the midsummer solstice. The Druids may well have their beliefs but they came on the Stonehenge scene very late in the day.

“They would have discovered the site as an ancient and abandoned temple and taken it over but that’s all right. I get on pretty well with other archaeologists too although they do tend to dismiss my work, but that’s their loss. Stonehenge has a special hold on me and the more I learn about it the more fascinated I become. I’m already working on a new book which I think will ruffle quite a lot of feathers.

“In a sense what we know as Stonehenge is almost the foundations of a much bigger edifice. Stonehenge is, despite all the myths that have been fostered, a very special place. It is, I believe, the birthplace of civilization and we all ought to give it the respect that it really deserves.”
