Hiram Abiff - Introduction 1 continued

Jer. 33:23 "The Word of YHVH was addressed to Jeremiah: 'Have you not noticed what these people say: "The two families which YHVH chose (after the split of the 12-tribed Kingdom of Israel into two - Israel - the 10 northern tribes and Judah with Benyamin) He has now rejected! So, they despise My People, whom they no longer think of as a nation." YHVH says this: "If I have not created day and night and have not laid down Laws for the heavens and the earth, why, then I reject the descendants of Jacob? ..
"The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs and the obedience of the nations is his." (Gen. 49:10)
Can anyone interpret this? Can you tell which God this is?

Jesus and Melchizedek's priesthoods are similar because they did not depend upon genealogy as the Aaronic priesthood did. The human lineage of Jesus was from Judah - a tribe that Moses did not associate with the priesthood, but was in the 'line' of Kings.

"For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, and in regard to that tribe Moses said nothing about priests." (Heb. 7:14)

The legends of a white or red haired stranger appeared in the legends of other lands and amoung different peoples. What was particularly noticeable about these traditions was the repeated emphasis that the coming of the the pale-skinned blue-eyed god Quetzalcoatl and his companion Viracochas had been associated with a terrible deluge that overwhelmed the earth and destroyed the greater part of humanity. Of cource we know the man as Noah. It seems the bearded white man had a different name in each of the other countries he visited. In Sumeria his name was Zisudra.

In fragment 4a of the few scattered remnants of the once widely renowned History of the Babylonian priest Berossos ( who wrote in the third century B.C. but whose work is thought by scholars to convey authentic Sumerian traditions,) Sippar or "Sippar of Eden," is remembered as the place where the knowledge of the antediluvian race was hidden away before the flood and preserved for use by the survivers of mankind. The Noah figure in this story is named Xisouthros. A god visits him in a dream, warns him that humanity is about to be destroyed in a terrible deluge, and orders him to build a huge boat of the usual dimentions in the usual way. Sippar is thought to have contained the world's oldest bank, the temple of Shamash, which was in operation until at least 1831 BC.

Genesis 2:17, God says, "but you must not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil for when you eat of it you will surely die!" But as we read further, they did not die! Genesis 3:5, The serpent says to Eve, "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be LIKE GOD, knowing good and evil". And that is exactly what happened!

With that in mind, the serpent did not deceive Eve...If the serpent told Eve the truth what is the point of these bible verses that condemn Eve as leading Adam astray? Fact: It was a 4th century pope called St Jerome who invented the 'Origional sin' senaro... and it was Pope Gregory the first that created the 'Mary Magdalene as a harlot and sinner' scene in 591. It took until 1969 to restore her to her proper place in church lore but they never removed the sinner tag and they should have.

The Roman church has admitted several false acquisitions are their doing. The newly released parchment on the Templars clears them of any wrong doing. They've had this information for 800 years! They also admit to the condemnation of Hipparchus as he studied the heavens. He was the first to say that the Earth revolved around the Sun. They killed him for it. They burned so-called witches. They had Socrates and Plato killed and the list goes on and on.

Our opinion is that there is no such character as the Anti-Christ, also created to strike terror into the hearts of man..for one reason only - subjugation...to the church. Forbidden Forward 2 and this web page HOW THE CHURCH CREATED THE IMAGE OF THE DEVIL tells the rest of the story.

FACT: Often the Devil in the christian religions is the major personified spirit of evil, ruler of Hell, and foe of God. Also described as a subordinate evil spirit; a demon. But no one mentioned in the Old testament ever talked to a 'devil', a demon or a deity named Satan. Even within the narratives of God's word in the bible there is no mention of such a deity. In fact the first mention of evil is that conducted by the "Sons of God" in Genesis 6:5 is when they mate with 'Earthly Women'. The creatures they produce are called the Nephilim. The verse says, these were the heroes of old, men of renown. How is that possible if they were evil?

In any case, if you study the text, word for word, the so-called serpent actually told Adam and Eve the truth! The Roman church then focused on a vengefull, jealous god to punish Adam and Eve. God's punishment is he threw Adam and Eve out of the garden and caused Eve to suffer pain in childbirth and Adam to toil and work the soil to produce food. He also told Adam that he would rule over Eve. This was just a sneaky way to make women subordinate to men which at the time was Roman inspired.

Proof provided by the Dead Sea Scrolls indicate women were participants in the discipleship of Jesus, including Mary Magdalene, Salome, Jesus' sister; Mary, Jesus' mother, Elizabeth, John the Babtists mother and other mothers of the disciples. What we see here is 'majority rule', over religious practices as the Romans, Jews and Greeks out numbered the Essenes who did not follow Roman 'Law'.

The Essenes were out numbered and out-lawed so they moved to Qumran by the Dead Sea and formed a 'closed community'. 134-104 BCE and saw various phases of occupation until, probably after the fall of Jerusalem in 70 CE.

Some scholars believe that some of these texts describe the beliefs of the inhabitants of Qumran, which, may have been the Essenes, or the asylum for supporters of the traditional priestly family of the Zadokites against the Hasmonean priest/kings of Jerusalem who were under the control of the Romans. A literary epistle published in the 1990s expresses reasons for creating a community, some of which mirror Sadducean arguments in the Talmud.

To the lovers of freedom the feeling of dependence is a curse, and Sasha Schneider has well pictured it as a terrible monster whose prey are the weak-- those whose religion is absolute submissiveness.

Truly if we cannot have a religion which makes us free and independent, let us discard religion! Religion must be in accord not only with morality but also with philosophy; not only with justice, but also with science; not only with order, but also with freedom. Every rebellion which is not in its own nature self-destructive, is an expression of the divine spirit. Every dash for liberty is a righteous deed, and a revolutionary movement that has the power and inherent good sense to be able to stay, is of God.

In the 20th century, that point in history when it seemed apparent that evil would soon be eliminated by the onrushing forces of rationalism and modernism, the devil had been reduced to a literary character, always ready to make a silly bargain for a soul. This trivialized image is perpetuated to this day. Satan in the cinema is either represented as a hideous special effect or a comic, bumbling trickster. Long gone is the noble adversary of Jehovah, as portrayed in the Bible, Milton or Dante.

However, the 20th century brought total war; genocide; death camps; nuclear, biological and chemical weapons; mind control; double-speak; ecological destruction; and finally indiscriminant mass terror. Evil was back and it was unmistakable. No wonder that opinion polls in the United States show that a large proportion of the population believe in the existence of the devil.

In Genesis 3:22 Adam and Eve became "One of US!" - Who is "US"?... and what knowledge are they talking about? Obviously it was more than just what was good and what was bad... but what was more important was that Adam and Eve understood and could speek. They could comprehend and they realized that like the animals, they too were naked. This was never ment to be a shameful experience.

Research into the work of 3rd century cardinal St. Jerome reveals this episode was not the original sin and shame had nothing to do with this realization. The Romans, who at the time were obsessed with sex as being evil and women must be subservant, declared Eve a sinner and it was her fault the man fell from grace. The fact is Adam and Eve understood that they were far superior to the animals because they could talk and 'reason' and understand. Accordingly, before Adam eats the forbidden fruit, he is shown as living with and as the animals and wearing no clothes - instead his body is covered with hair.

{footnote 1: Epic of Gilgamesh, Tab. I, col. ii. 36, cf. Tab. II, col. iii. 22-6} In this picture of the primordial state the Mesopotamian author is clearly only concerned with nudity as the natural result of primitive ignorance - man is just brutish, and to emphasise this aspect he is depicted as having a hairy pelt. It is interesting, therefore, to note that the Yahwist writer, in envisaging the primordial state, thinks especially of the first human pair as naked, and that it is necessary to explain that they were not ashamed of the fact. As becomes evident in the sequel, the significance of the comment on their nudity is that they are male and female. From the Epic of Gilgamesh. - or see Gilgamesh - Bronze age - 7th century BC to 2700 BC. The most complete version of the epic was preserved in the collection of the 7th century BC Assyrian king Ashurbanipal. That's apx. 8500 years before the bible was compiled and first put into print.

Two different group's teachings were combined in the Torah which was written around 500BC.

The verb {Hebrew} translated here as meaning 'to feel ashamed', signifies in this context specifically 'to change colour, to blush', and its employment surely indicates the author's attitude towards nudity. To the Hebrew the exposure of the sexual organs, whether of man or woman, was a shameful thing; but possibly the real point of the Yahwist's (Two forms of the Torah.. see The Jahwist, also referred to as the Jehovist, Yahwist, or simply as J, is one of the sources of the Torah postulated by the documentary hypothesis.) remark in this verse is to be seen by way of comparison with what is said of Enkidu in the Epic of Gilgamesh which we will show you on Forbiddenf1. But in Genesis 4:21, "And the God provided clothing for them," Genesis 3:21 They became like US! The Gods (more than one) wore clothing!

The Church burned enormous amounts of literature. In 391 Christians burned down one of the world's greatest libraries in Alexandria, said to have housed 700,000 rolls. All the books of the Gnostic Basilides, Porphyry's 36 volumes, papyrus rolls of 27 schools of the Mysteries, and 270,000 ancient documents gathered by Ptolemy Philadelphus were burned. Ancient academies of learning were closed. Education for anyone outside of the Church came to an end -
Helen Ellerbe The Dark Side of Christian History

Every science was regarded as an outcast, an enemy. Every fact held the creed of the church in scorn. Investigators were enemies in disguise. Thinkers were traitors, and the church exerted its vast power for centuries to prevent the intellectual progress of man. There was no liberty, no education, no philosophy, no science; nothing but credulity, ignorance, and superstition. The world was really under the control of Satan and his agents. The church, for the purpose of increasing her power, exhausted every means to convince the people of the existence of witches, devils, and fiends. In this way the church had every enemy within her power. She simply had to charge him with being a wizard, of holding communication with devils, and the ignorant mob was ready to tear him to pieces.
- Robert Green Ingersoll The Great Infidels, 1881

The mad men of the past are no more, but their legacy of chaos and lies remain. And so, we must resolve and dedicate ourselves to the study of their legacy if we are to come upon the truths that affronted their natures and suffered desecration under their unworthy hands. Amid the wreckage of their making let us attempt to salvage the few remaining gems of truth that have not perished, that they may again illuminate the minds of the sane.

When we contemplate the mysteries of time and history, we see how everything that exists came into being for a reason. It is only intellectual lethargy, and the passage of time, that allows fallacies to appear before us in the guise of facts. Indeed, all that is required for a historical lie to be accepted as historical truth is the passage of historical time. This particular phenomenon has been, and continues to be, on the minds of the world's most devious mythmongers who seek to further the deceptive industry of their predecessors. Those who have arranged the subject of history, so that men see what they are meant to see and so they know only that which they are meant to know, are profoundly aware of how the simple passage of time aids them in their heinous work. As the arch-perjurer of the fifteenth century, Geraldus Cambrensis, haughtily wrote:

People of today laugh at these things because they know the facts, but people of future generations will not know and therefore they will accept them as true history - The Conquest of Ireland

Thou art the one, the God from the very beginnings of time, the heir of immortality, self-produced and self-born; thou didst create the earth and make man - Egyptian Book of the Dead, 2,600 BC

Homage to thee, O Amen-Ra, Lord of Thebes, Thou Joy, the ornament of the gods! All men lift up their faces to gaze upon him. Thou art the Lord, inspiring awe, crushing those who would revolt against thee. Thou art the King of all the gods. Thou art the great god, the Living One. Thou art beloved for thy words, Which are the satisfaction of the gods. Thou art the King of heaven, thou didst make the stars - (From Hymn to Amen Ra)

In no land or literature has the mythical mode of representation been perverted and reduced to driveling foolishness more fatally than in some of the Hebrew legends
- Gerald Massey Ancient Egypt - Light of the World, 1907

And so it has been for the better part of 2000 years the Old Testament was the sole record of the Mesopotamian patriarchal era. There was no way for anyone to know if it was fact or fiction…it was taken on board for history
- Laurence Gardner

...its chronology is unreliable, chimerical, and incorrect; its history contradictory and incredible; its philosophy fallacious; its logic unsound; its cosmology foolish and absurd, its astronomy fragmentary and childish; its religion pagan-derived, its morals defective, sometimes selfish, often extravagant, and in some cases pernicious...It is often dark, ambiguous, and mysterious, as well as contradictory, not only in its lessons on morality, but in its account of the simplest occurrences, this rendering it comparatively worthless as a moral guide -
Kersey Graves Bible of Bibles, 1863 AD

Moses spoke to El Elyon on the Mountain....NOT Elohim

Elsewhere in the Bible, the Jebusites are described in a manner that suggests that they worshipped the same God as the Israelites (see, e.g., Melchizedek). Further support for this theory comes from the fact that other Jebusites or residents of pre-Israelite Jerusalem bore names invoking the principle or god Zedek (Tzedek) (see, e.g., Melchizedek and Adonizedek). A Zadok is also mentioned in the genealogy of Joseph, the father of Jesus (Matt. 1:14).

Jesus was a priest in the order of Melchizedek. (Heb. 5:6)
"Then the "Day of Atonement" shall follow after the tenth jubilee period, when he shall atone for all the "Sons of Light", and the people who are predestined to Melchizedek. (...) upon them (...) For this is the time decreed for the "Year of Melchizedek`s favor", and by his might he will judge God's holy ones and so establish a righteous kingdom, as it is written about him in the Songs of David."

From (Ps. 82;2), the interpretation applies to the followers of Belial/Enlil, because all of them have rebelled, turning from God's precepts and so becoming utterly wicked. Therefore Melchizedek will thoroughly prosecute the vengeance required by God's statutes. Also, he will deliver all the captives from the power of Belial, and from the power of all the spirits destined to him. Allied with him will be all the "righteous divine beings" ie., "The Sons of Light" (Isa. 61;3).

Rabbi Eleazar said that Melchizedek’s school was one of three places where the Holy Spirit manifested itself. (Babylonian Talmud Makkot 23b.) The Rabbis taught that Melchizedek acted as a priest and handed down Adam’s robes to Abraham. (Numbers Rabbah 4:8.) Rabbi Zechariah said on Rabbi Ishmael’s authority that God intended to bring forth the priesthood through Melchizedek’s descendants, but because Melchizedek blessed Abraham before he blessed God.

However Abraham sined and the robes were taken away. We don't know if he ever got them back.

There is almost universal consensus among scholars today that the sacred Tetragrammaton (YHWH) is to be vocalized and pronounced Yahweh.(YOD, HEH, and VAV) Probably the name means literally “He is.” Some argue, somewhat philosophically or metaphysically, that it presents God as the eternal self-existent One—the absolute, unchanging God (the eternal I AM—Exod. 3:13–15; cf. John 8:58). To them the name connotes the underived and independent existence of a single God.

From The Second Treatise of the Great Seth in the Nag Hammidi Scrolls:
(The spirit manifests itsself into the third son of Adam and he is also Christ)

"For they did not know the Knowledge of the Greatness, that it is from above and (from) a fountain of truth, and that it is not from slavery and jealousy, fear and love of worldly matter. For that which is not theirs and that which is theirs they use fearlessly and freely. They do not desire, because they have authority, and a law from themselves over whatever they will wish. And he who is brought by constraint of force and threat has been guarded by God (Enlil/Sakla/Yaldabaoth)."

When Jesus heard it, He marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel." (Matthew 8:5-10)
Matthew 10, " Jesus sent out these twelve after instructing them thus, "Do not go into pagan territory (the Gentiles or Greeks) or enter a Samaritan town. (6) Go rather to the lost sheep of 'the house of Israel'. And from the Gospel of Thomas in the Nag Hammidi Library: (17) Jesus said, "I shall give you what no eye has seen and what no ear has heard and what no hand has touched and what has never occurred to the human mind."

(Gospel of Thomas) (40) Jesus said, "A grapevine has been planted outside of the father, but being unsound, it will be pulled up by its roots and destroyed." This is an allegorical term that means a lie has been planted among the people that grows and spreads incessently, but the TRUE Father will destroy it!

"Lord" means owner. This god causes all the pain, sickness, war and natural disasters in the World. He is the 'creator of Death'. Where ever we see the 'lord' getting angry, destroying cities, punishing anyone ect., we are dealing with Enlil. Enlil is not capable of forgiveness or love of humans. The true God, on the other hand is not here to destroy, cause disease and famine or hurt children! HE also gives us eternal life. How is that possible? Because we are part of HIM. HE is in all of us and HIS presence is amplified once we understand this. This is truely Gnosis.

Matthew 13:35, "I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world."

Armageddon!

Church leaders have predicted Arrmagadden and the return of Christ to be approaching. It is our opinion that we need to learn the secrets while we are still alive because if we die without the knowledge, it will be too late. This represents 'initiation'.... Initiation into secret knowledge. From the Gospel of Philip in the Nag Hammidi Library.."Those who say that the Lord died first and (then) rose up are in error, for he rose up first and (then) died. If one does not first attain the resurrection, he will die. As God lives, he would [also] (live)". It continues;

"Some are afraid lest they rise naked. Because of this they wish to rise in the flesh, and they do not know that it is those who wear the flesh who are naked. It is those who [choose] to unclothe themselves who are not naked. "Flesh and blood shall not inherit the kingdom of God" (1 Co 15:50).

Apparently Russian President Putin has sided with Iran to prevent the U.S. from installing a missle base in the Czech Republic. The Russian president also warned the other Caspian Sea nations present not to allow their countries to be used for military assaults against Iran, a clear message to the U.S., which has refused to rule out an attack to halt or slow the Iranian nuclear program it believes is ultimately aimed at building nuclear weapons. October 21, 2007 - Dick Cheney countered with, "We will not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon!" Cheney said the ultimate goal of the Iranian leadership is to establish itself as the hegemonic force in the Middle East and undermine a free Shiite-majority - Iraq as a rival for influence in the Muslim world.

Apparently the world will be controlled by one leader, an Arab, (The anti-Christ) until the million man army of China wipes them out . Will the proposed Czech Missile Base have any effect on the outcome? Oct, 23, 2007 - President Bush backed down. see Missle Base delay until it (US) has “definitive proof” of a missile threat from Iran, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Tuesday.
