Puma Punku

Puma Punku is one of the many mysterious places we find in Bolivia. We tend to look at Adam and Eve as a step or two above cavemen.  We picture the people of that time period as wearing animal skins, somehow figuring out fire and learning to be civilized.  We know Cain built a city as stated in Genesis 4:17.  I hesitate to say it was the first city of all time but maybe the first city after the fall of Adam and Eve.  There is no logical way that what I’ve pictured in my mind can be accurate.  Either there was a lot of technology after the fall and before the flood or I’ve got a time line problem, or both.  If what I’ve pictured about the first humans is true, then there could not be any mega structure type buildings during that time period.  Therefore I recognize that my time line thinking and my understanding of technology is wrong and I have to explore further what I may be missing.  One mega structure that came along before the flood was the Tower of Babel. 

At Puma Punku the rock are made of granite and diorite, some of the hardest rock know to man.  The only element that is harder, and can be used to carve and cut granite diorite is diamond.  Is it possible that cavemen had diamond tipped tools?  No wheels, no, electricity, but machine tools made from diamond?  Not to mention that some of these rocks that had been carved and positioned precisely to inter lock with each other were 800 tons.  Reality check.  A large family size sedan would weigh about one ton or 2,000 lbs. (I once owned a 1976 Pontiac Catalina that I could lie across the seats and not touch either door, that car weighed one ton.) Stacking 800 of those cars into a block and squashing them together would weigh 1,600,000 pounds.  We don’t have the machinery to maneuver that large of a weighted block today.  Even several cranes working together would not be able to take on this task.  We also find precision drilling at Puma Punku.  Is it possible that perfectly machine drilled holes, researched and measured by major universities, could have been made with Stone Age tools? 

Maybe this is why our public schools did not teach South American history in any detail.  It doesn’t seem to fit the mold they created for us to believe.  I’ve included a website for further information.  Although my research mostly came from books, a website is a quick and easy way to get some information.  If you dare you could read the book Technology of the Gods by David Hatcher Childress, it will mess up your thinking.  I’ve included a Google book link as well; you can purchase the book on Amazon also. 

The prophet Jeremiah had some interesting insights and understandings. If we look at this section carefully we see shifting in tenses.  We see present, past and future.  Jeremiah has a vision of Genesis 1:2, and he also sees the future.  Here in this section we see the earth became desolate and empty but look what else he says.  There were earth quakes.  There weren’t any people and all the birds flew away.  The fruitful places became a wilderness, or desert, and the cities were broken down at the presence of Yahweh.  Isn’t it interesting there were cities but all the people were gone and everything became a wasteland?  

Jer 4:23-29

23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.

24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.

25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.

26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the Lord, and by his fierce anger. KJV

Prior to this we are told in the present tense to Jeremiah’s time that watchers from far away are complaining about Judah’s rebellion. 

Jer 4:16-17

16 Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah.

17 As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the Lord. KJV

The word for watchers used here is a little odd.  Most of the time strong’s number 5341 is used in the KJV translation so to research it is awkward.   The Hebrew renders to guard, but the KJV rendering uses it as keep or besiege.  In this context it would seem there was someone (people) or something (angelic host) complaining about Judah’s rebellion towards the Lord. 

OT:5341 rx^n*

 natsar (naw-tsar'); a primitive root; to guard, in a good sense (to protect, maintain, obey, etc.) or a bad one OT:5341

KJV - besieged, hidden thing, keep (-er, -ing), monument, observe, preserve (-r), subtil, watcher (-man).

 Jeremiah sees the past destruction of the earth, and then he sees the future destruction of the earth.  Is it possible that the Genesis 1:2 desolation will be like the future desolation?  This is quite disturbing to me.  We don’t know how or why the earth became formless and void, we don’t know who made it that way either.  What we do know is that we are, at present, moments from nuclear destruction.  At any given time someone behaving in a hostile manner could start something that no one can win.  Then the cities will be destroyed, people will be gone and the fruitful places will become barren.  There is evidence in ancient texts of atomic warfare on earth.  Some date further then six thousand years BC, some date to only one thousand years BC, during the time of Abraham. 

Jer 4:27-29

27 For thus hath the Lord said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.

28 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.

29 The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein. KJV

We see Yahweh describing a future destruction which is not unlike Jesus’ description in Luke.  The time period of Jeremiah was after the flood, and to the best of our more recent knowledge, the earth has not been destroyed by Yahweh.  Therefore we know that in the future the earth will be desolate again.  It would seem that the earth became without form and void once, that it could very well happen again. 

Luke 21:25-29

25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.KJV

I've added a few other verses from Isaiah, remember that since Isaiah’s time there has not been an earthly destruction.

Isa 13:13

13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.KJV

Isa 24:19-23

19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.

20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.

21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.

22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.

23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the Lord of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.KJV

The book of 2 Ezra is an interesting book that has a few insights that I think are interesting to include here.  Ezra (Esdras in Latin) has been praying and fasting because he has questions he would like answered .  It seems just as there are a number of martyrs to be fulfilled, and a number of gentiles to be fulfilled there is a time that is to be fulfilled also.

2 Esd 5:1-14

5 Nevertheless as coming the tokens, behold, the days shall come, that they which dwell upon earth shall be taken in a great number, and the way of truth shall be hidden, and the land shall be barren of faith.

2 But iniquity shall be increased above that which now thou seest, or that thou hast heard long ago.

3 And the land, that thou seest now to have root, shalt thou see wasted suddenly.

4 But if the most High grant thee to live, thou shalt see after the third trumpet that the sun shall suddenly shine again in the night, and the moon thrice in the day: KJV

The coming destruction is not my primary focus; however in Jeremiah the bible seems to link the past and the future together as if the event of the past will be like the event of the future.  We have the words of the prophets as well as Jesus to confirm what is to come.  What I speculate is that the cities that were built in the far distant past, that lie in ruins to this day, may have been cities that were destroyed in the time period of Genesis 1:2.  If we can only trace humanity back to 6,000 years in the bible then from about 6,000 years to the present we have a new humanity living on a old earth.  There are further technologies to look and to illustrate this as we shall see in the upcoming weeks.

Gravitons; How Silly

There have been many ideas about what happened in verse two of Genesis chapter one.  Some people have said there were meteors that wiped out the dinosaurs.  Some speculate the fall of Lucifer caused the earth’s destruction.  Other cultures believe the earth has been destroyed three times over its history and we are living in the fourth time of destruction.  Some say earth’s destruction is due to a processional cycle.  Others observed that pole shifts have occurred in the past and would theorize that pole shifts caused the destruction.  Then there are cultures that believe there may have been some atomic type warfare that occurred that caused the earth’s destruction.  These are all very valid ideas.

 (Biblesoft's New Exhaustive Strong's Numbers and Concordance with Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary. Copyright © 1994, 2003, 2006 Biblesoft, Inc. and International Bible Translators, Inc.)

Something happened to the earth that suggests a cataclysmic event.   This does not say the heavens became a mess, only the earth.  The word was as we can see by definition is properly supplied as was become or had become or became.  The earth became desolation.  It became an undistinguishable ruin.  It didn’t start that way, it became that way.  We have cultures and people groups all over the world that believe the earth has been destroyed multiple times.  Their own history dates back 30,000 BC, such as Egypt, India, Sumer, China, Maya, and Native America.  Doesn’t this seem odd as we can only date Hebrew peoples 4,000 years BC?  This is what fascinates me about history, mystery and discrepancy.  If there is discrepancy it is in our understanding, or lack of understanding.  We have been taught in America a nice little fairy tale, yet in other countries their history is very different.  We will explore some of these cultures and ideas of how this all blends with Judeo Christian belief but to start we will jump to today. 

Astronomers have routinely used data from the 15^th century to build theories and understandings of our universe; however 19^th century to present has shown some of our theories are out dated.  We have speculated that our universe is held together, if you will, by gravity.  We know that when we trip we fall down not up.  So we assume that stars are bound by gravitational pull to keep them in place.  There must be some type of missing matter to make sense of the theory of gravity. Scientists have named these unknown particles, gravitons.  Well guess what, there are no gravitons, none have ever been detected or found.  Despite our best efforts and millions of dollars in research, we’ve been looking to prove something that may not truly exist. 

What we have thought is that our universe is ordered by gravity and gravitational pull.  What we have learned is that our universe is electromagnetic.  The universe is made up of 99% electric plasmas.  Plasmas follow magnetic fields.  The missing link is not gravitons but plasma.  Gravity attracts, it does not repel, so therefore we now understand that our universe is more so affected by electromagnetism then gravity.  There are four states of matter, solid, liquid, gas and plasma. Plasma has three modes, dark current, glow, and arch.  One such evidence of plasma is Auroras, another is Lightening.  Now this opens up many of possibilities to our understanding of what goes on in the universe, how to travel through it, and what could affect the earth.  It also may tell us how it is possible that ancient civilizations had technologies that we have yet to understand.  If there are electromagnetic fields around our globe, as well as the universe, then we can understand why the Carnac stones may be arranged as they are.  They are magnetized.  It opens our understanding to the Bermuda Triangle as to why our instrumentation does not work in that area as well as in Japan’s Dragon Triangle. 

The entire point to all the scientific understanding is that our earth is affected by what happens in the heavens.  One Native American culture, the Hopi’s, believe our earth was destroyed three times, once by fire, such as volcano’s or meteors, once by ice and once by flood.  Their prophecies state that we are in the fourth age.   We have evidence of large meteor strikes on our planet, we have evidence of volcanos, we have evidence of an ice age, and we have evidence of a flood.  So when we wonder how the earth became formless and void we realize it could have been a number of things and it could have been more than one time.  We are not told how many times the earth became a wasteland.  We are told that things had to be created and that the Holy Spirit was there as a master worker or architect. 

What this also tells us it that there may be a more understandable reality to the Mayan calendar where the earth is affected by gravitational alignment  when the  earth is on one side of the milky way and the sun on the other.  The presumption by scholars to interpret what might happen when the earth aligns with most of the other planets in our solar system on one side of our milky way, and the sun on the other side, also presuming that the dark rift, or black hole in the milky way, will throw off our gravitational pull and cause catastrophes such as would occur with pole shifts.  However if our universe is electromagnetic, we may very well feel the effects of that alignment but for a different reason.  Also we may see greater catastrophes then we have so far imagined. 

As for me, my hope lies in the pre tribulation rapture which we won’t take time to cover here except to say that we are saved from the wrath to come.  Yet, if for some reason, we go through cataclysmic devastation it is a small matter to me as one day I will be with the Lord.  I’m all for sooner, (yes I prefer escapism), rather than later.  But that’s just me.  I will throw this out there though.  There are three raptures/catching away’s noted in the bible.  It’s a fun study.  There is the body of Christ, pre trib, the 144,000 Jews, mid trib, and those who do not accept the mark of the beast, post trib.  But that’s another story for a different day.  Luke 21:28 does say look up not look out.

The Holy Spirit in the Beginning

Prov 8:22-31

22 The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.

23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.

25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:

26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.

27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:

28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:

29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:

30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;

31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.

KJV

Prov 8:30

30 Then I was by him, (as) a master workman; And I was daily (his) delight, Rejoicing always before him,

What is a graviton?

What is a graviton? Where can it be found?

According to Weisstein's world of Physics, a graviton is "a theoretical particle having no mass and no charge that carries the gravitational force."

In quantum mechanics, we know that light comes to us in massless packets, or particles, called photons, which carries electromagnetic force with it. Because this worked so well and is essential to the theory of quantum mechanics, people hypothesized the existence of a similar particle which carries the gravitational force.

As of today (June 4, 2003) we have not found proof that the graviton exists. Because these particles carry very little energy, they are very hard to detect - but we're still looking!

Electric Sun Hypothesis http://www.electric-cosmos.org/sun.htm

Electric Glow Discharge http://www.plasma-universe.com/Electric_glow_discharge

Newton's law of gravity

	gravitational force exerted between two objects
	mass of object 1
	mass of object 2
	distance between the objects

G = 6.6726 x 10-11N-m2/kg2

When discussing the force that is exerted between two celestial bodies, Newtons forumula states that the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distances between the two objects.  The nearest star to our sun is Alpha Centauri and it is 4.24 light years away or 10¹⁶ miles, just under 10 trillion miles. 

In The Beginning

There are so many curious things written in the bible, and then there are the downright mysterious things hidden in plain sight.  Sometimes a slow methodical read of scripture can reveal things easily overlooked.  But then there are things that bear digging deep for mysteries revealed.  Some folks would believe the bible was just written, or copied by Moses, or  that it was possibly stolen from ancient Sumerian texts.  I’m pretty sure that is not so.  Here is why.  No human (as we are today) could possibly be smart enough to write a text and be able to encode, via equal distance lettering, future events that would be sometimes thousands of years away.  Specifically I’m thinking of the encoded messages in Isaiah 53 that tells of Jesus, his crucifixion, and all those who were there, listed by name, at his death.  In twelve verses we are shown Yeshua, encoded via equal distance lettering. At the end I will list all the words that describe him encoded in Isaiah 53. 

All nations east of Jerusalem read words from right to left, including Israel.  All nations west of Jerusalem read left to right.  In the Torah we find the word Torah (spelled Torh in Hebrew) in four books of the Torah, at an equal distance of forty nine letters apart.  The way we find it is interesting.  (Forty nine is the square root of 7, see EW Bullingers Numbers in the Scriptures for further study on numbers). Starting in Genesis with the first Hebrew letter representing T every forty nine letters we find the letters TORH.  In Exodus it is the same.  Not in Leviticus however, we will come back to this book.   Then in Numbers we find, starting backwards with the Hebrew letter that corresponds to H, every forty nine letters spelling HROT, and the same in Deuteronomy.  In Leviticus we find every seventh letter the name for God, YHWH.  Genesis TORH, Exodus TORH, Leviticus YHWH, Numbers HROT, Deuteronomy HROT.  The Torah points to Yahweh.  What is even more fascinating is that Rabbi’s found this without computers.   Now we can search out bible codes fairly quickly. 

I bought a Bible Code program a few years ago.  It truly is interesting to investigate the bible that way; however I am not educated in Hebrew and have a hard time translating words.  Although some things I can do in English or Greek, Hebrew is better for the Old Testament.

OT:7225

re'shiyth (ray-sheeth'); from the same as OT:7218; the first, in place, time, order or rank (specifically, a firstfruit):

KJV - beginning, chief (-est), first (-fruits, part, time), principal thing.

OT:1254

bara' (baw-raw'); a primitive root; (absolutely) to create; (qualified) to cut down (a wood), select, feed (as formative processes): -choose, create (creator), cut down, dispatch, do, make (fat).

OT:430

'elohiym (el-o-heem'); plural of OT:433; gods in the ordinary sense; but specifically used (in the plural thus, especially with the article) of the supreme God; occasionally applied by way of deference to magistrates; and sometimes as a superlative:

KJV - angels,  exceeding, God (gods)- dess, -ly),  (very) great, judges,  mighty.

OT:8064

shamayim (shaw-mah'-yim); dual of an unused singular shameh (shaw-meh'); from an unused root meaning to be lofty; the sky (as aloft; the dual perhaps alluding to the visible arch in which the clouds move, as well as to the higher ether where the celestial bodies revolve):

OT:776

 'erets (eh'-rets); from an unused root probably meaning to be firm; the earth (at large, or partitively a land):

KJV -  common, country, earth, field, ground, land,  natins, way,  wilderness, world.

I don’t intend on copying and pasting the whole bible and the definitions of words, but just so no one thinks I’m making things up I’m including the text here.  This is my PC Bible program.  There is a great free program called e-sword that you can use for research if you don’t have a bible program. 

We don’t know when the beginning was, we are not given a date or reference point as ‘in the seventh year of Adam’.  We are at a loss to try and place a date stamp on this “beginning”.  We can trace humanity from Adam to present at about 6000 years, but humanity and the beginning have different time origins.  Some people believe in the Big Bang Theory.  Most serious scientists discount that as the start of the beginning because there had to be something or two something’s with opposing reactions to explode.  We can’t have nothing and then an explosion.  We do know that the universe seems to be expanding outward, which is why this seemed to be a logical theory.  If the beginning started with a bang then there had to be some things in existence to make it explode, thereby presuming a pre-existence of something which means the bang was not the beginning. 

The word for God is Elohim, where ever there is an im in Hebrew it is plural.  In Hebrew there is a singular tense meaning one, a dual tense meaning two, and a plural tense meaning three or more.  Elohim created the heavens and the earth in the beginning.  But then something happened.  It was created, and then something went wrong. We’ll explore this next time.

Isaiah 53

This came from Chuck Missler’s you tube video on bible codes.  I find it fascinating that in twelve verses we have so much that is said about Jesus and even lists the people there at the crucifixion.

Yeshua is my name; His Signature; Messiah; Galilee; Shiloh; Pharisee; Levites; Caiaphas; Annas; Passover; The man Herod; Wicked Caesar perish; The evil Roman City; Let Him be Crucified; Moriah; Cross; pierce; From the Atonement Lamb; bread; wine; Obed; Jesse; seed; water Jonah.

Peter; Matthew; John; Andrew; Philip; Thomas; James; James (there were 2 James’ the third, Jesus’ brother did not become a believer until after the crucifixion); Simon; Thaddaeus; Matthias; Mary; Mary Salome; Joseph.  (Judas does not show up)

Mixed Up History

Mixed Up History

When I was in school, History never made any sense to me; we learned everything all out of order.  For my brain to make sense of things I need a global view, then a sequential time line.  I’m sure there is good reason why we learned about the Civil War, then WWII then, Ancient Civilizations, and then the American Revolution but I don’t know what it is.  I decided I’d never teach my children history in such a crazy manner.  I found an awesome home school curriculum called Green Leaf Press, and I supplied the supplemental books.  We started with the Bible.  Now just a foot note the Bible is not written in time sequential order either.  When my children were preschool age we read through an Egermeier’s Bible which was a bible story book written in historical order. That really helped me understand the time line events of the bible.  Green Leaf Press helped me learn history in order.  Why does this matter? We have arranged our history much in the same way as my elementary school did by the use of social media.  If we promote history, and arrange the facts just so, we can make people confused enough that they will never know what really happened. 

So I learned history mixed up; I did one better for my children and taught them history in an orderly fashion. But then my daughter took U.S. History in College.  What I found out was not the merry, happy, jovial history of our nation.  The founding years of our nation were very different.  My daughter took a college history class on line her last year of High School.  Her Professor was from Scandinavia but living in Mexico City.  What an odd way to teach an on line U.S. History class.  My Daughter would ask me to proof read her papers, as her professor would ask very specific questions.  As I read I became very agitated.  I was taken to the movie 1776 in fifth grade, so I thought most of it was a happy affair with a little contention about slavery.  It was quite the opposite.  The newly established communities fought amongst themselves, many militias were formed, and the Political views of some of those wishing to establish our nation were somewhat like a cast system.  Many advocated for the rich to be in power, instead of a republic, some wanted a dictatorship.  What a mess. 

What really bothered me was learning about the cult of domesticity.  I’m sure you’ve all heard of it.  When immigrants continued to come to America there weren’t enough jobs for people.  At that time in history, women worked, just like men did.  In the Cities women worked in factories under squalid conditions, many times jeopardizing their health and shortening their life spans.  A social media campaign was started to suggest women should stay at home there by allowing their jobs to be taken by men.  Now don’t get me wrong, if you offered me the choice of working in a factory where the lighting was so poor I’d go blind, or, to bake a cake, I’d start baking.  The manipulation of social media to encourage women on being house wives sold the idea nationwide.  Pretty soon it was accepted social behavior for women to stay at home.  No one foresaw the problems that would cause.  Women did not have the right to vote at that time.  They had no advocacy in the public arena.  There was no social security so when a woman’s husband died she had no income.  If her deceased husband had unpaid debt, she was obliged to pay it.  She would ultimately lose her home as women were not allowed to own property.  And there was no life insurance.  Somehow social stigma changed towards women as well and women were thought of as dumb, weak, and inferior.  Eventually enough children growing up under tragic circumstances forced change for women so that women would have rights and be able to earn a living.  That social engineering had some terrible consequences that were unforeseen. 

The reason I bring this up is not to offend anyone but to point out that we certainly have a creative way of glossing over things.  We humans seem to have a problem with wanting to socially engineer history so that everything is palatable.  But history is not very palatable at all. When we learn about Noah, it won’t be cake and ice cream.  There may be some hard truths that we would want to over look but we won’t understand our days and times if we believe everything in the past was all happy and jovial.  When we think about Moses prophesying to the children of Israel, we forget the words he spoke were harsh words.  He told the Hebrews that if they failed to adhere to God’s laws, they would be sent into slavery on ships.  They would be scattered everywhere and have no home.  Moses told them they would always be the most oppressed people in the world. 

I’ll start exploring the bible times and mysteries and hopefully we’ll see many interesting things rather than thinking our biblical history reads like a fairy tale.  

The start of all Blogs

After wrestling with the idea of blogging I've decided to dive in. I have more questions then I have answers and  I will probably annoy anyone reading this with having to think about things, things we thought we knew and things we were sure were settled in our hearts and minds.

I guess I have questions because I am an avid reader.  I read things most people wouldn't, but I enjoy the knowledge I gain from an odd assortment of books.  I am currently reading two books The Brain That Changes Itself and A More Excellent Way To Be In Health.  (You might think I was a doctor, but I'm not) The exciting subject of brain plasticity gives me great hope, it tells me that what the Bible says is true.  Who would have thought the Bible was way ahead of our modern scientists.  I'm sure some day I will expound on this but for now we'll leave it alone.

One thing I hate above all else is being lied to.  My public school education views more like a fairytale then reality. Why not tell American school children the truth about history.  Is there some reason that I was told South America was a big jungle, however we were required to memorize the countries and their capitals.  No one told me about Nazca, Markawasi, Puma Punku, or El Dorado.  My passion as a child was in archeology but I was told that was silly.  The only archeology we discussed was Egypt.  However if I had been told about the Mayan Calendar I would have been an archeologist.  As for Egypt we were told the pyramids were burial chambers for Pharaoh's, however there has never been a sarcophagus or coffin or  any dead body found in any of the pyramids.  In fact the evidence is quite different.  The most unlikely explanation for the pyramids was the one that was propounded over and over, yet quite untrue.

This kind of thing makes me fussy.  Why hide the truth?  Well I may not know why but I'm on a quest to learn the truth about history.  What actually started this  drive in me was the mysteries in the Bible.  Who were the Nephilim, and why does the bible say they were around after the flood as well as before.  Why do we only talk about Abraham having two sons when the bible says he had eight.  Who were they, and where did they go.  If Abraham's descendants were as the sands on the shore or the stars in the sky does that include the seven we rarely speak of? How about Job, who was he? We think we know, but may be surprised to find out from The Book of Jasher  who he was and when he lived.

Why does any of this matter?  It doesn't.  It won't get you in or keep you out of heaven, or the millennial reign.  But people have altered our history, intentionally and unintentionally, and there is a lot we can learn from the truth as compared to the fables we imagine when we think of BC and AD.  How about this one, just for fun.  I was told that in fourteen hundred and ninety two Columbus sailed the ocean blue, he was supposedly the one who discovered America looking for a trade rout to India.  Baloney.  Explorers had been sailing here for several hundred years and Columbus had a map.  Also people did not believe the earth was flat, they had a greater knowledge of the stars, and planets and of navigation by the stars.  The fairytale of "the earth was flat" was another contrived idea fed to American children to make us think people in the past were dumb. They weren't.  They may have been much smarter then we are today.

So here I sit pondering the what for's and why's, and here I'll post the questions and maybe a few answers that may lead us to a more true understanding of who we are and where we are going.
