... in nature and can be made to prove anything; it is relatively safe to say no interpretation of history requiring so thorough a resetting of the historical stage for proof will ever gain wide acceptance. In the pursuit of evidence to cross-identify historical personages Velikovsky grasps at the most precarious similarities. Such is the case with a certain Zuchru in the Bible with a toponym in the Amarna letters (see Peter James, SIS Workshop, Vol. 5/4 , 1982/83). James insists that a certain Iahzibada in the Amarna letters is the captain of Jehoshaphat (whom Velikovsky identified with Adbu Hepa of the same letters). However, we are not led into a discussion ...
62. A Potential Historical Connection for the Death and Burial of Jacob in Genesis [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History XIII:1 (Jan 1991) Home | Issue Contents A Potential Historical Connection for the Death and Burial of Jacob in Genesis William H. Shea Introduction In the Bible the patriarchal age ends with the death and burial of Jacob. There follows after that event a historical vacuum from the end of the book of Genesis to the beginning of Exodus. According to the chronology given in Genesis 15 and Exodus 12:40, that historical vacuum, during which we know little of the Israelite people in Egypt, covered approximately four centuries, the length of their Egyptian sojourn. If we were able to date the closing event for the patriarchal age ...
63. Plagues and Comets [Books] [de Grazia books]
... in Syria, Babylonia, India, in the sign of Capricorn, in the form of a disc, at the time when the children of Israel advanced from Egypt toward the Promised Land, led on their way by the pillar of cloud during the day and by the pillar of fire at night [6 ]. Yahweh, says the Bible, led the people out of Egypt "with his face."[7 ] The comet joined the people when they began their march and provided their posterity with a familiar image: "And the Lord [Yahweh] went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way, and by night in ...
64. The Creation of the Earth -- the Third Account [Books]
... . In the second chapter another creation account is presented which is as dissimilar from the first as is possible. Not only is there a sharp change in diction but, chiefly, a most profound difference in sentiment. One of the changes in diction may partly be perceived even in the translation, while in the first chapter of the English Bible the deity is addressed as God', the second chapter refers to the creator as the Lord God'. In the Hebrew text the first account calls the chief actor Elohim, while the account now under consideration uses the name Yahweh. From this peculiarity this third account is referred to as the Yahwist, or Jehovist ( 'J ...
65. Rethinking Hatshepsut [Journals] [SIS Review]
... is true, but it should be recognised that the XVIII Dynasty was the most powerful dynasty that ever ruled Egypt and also the best documented. Such a disaster would have left some hint of it in the Egyptian records - but this dynasty was affluent and serene. There is just no place for an Exodus of the dimensions indicated in the Bible. The result has been a downgrading of the Exodus. In Andrews University I studied under Dr Horn and well remember him proving to us logically that a two million Exodus was just not feasible. The six hundred thousand' footmen of Exodus 12:37 were reduced to 600 families. The Hebrew word eleph is translated family' once ...
66. The Prophecy In Paleontology [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... ) Home | Issue Contents The Prophecy In Paleontology Milo Kearney Except for a slight alliteration, prophecy and paleontology would seem to have little in common. Yet a close relationship may well exist between the two. Before this possibility is examined, the controversy between science and religion regarding the shaping of the earth should be addressed. Science and the Bible are not as mutually contradictory as is often supposed. The most notorious case of a purported clash between the Bible and science is over the nature of the creation of the earth and of the life upon it. Thus the story presented in the first chapter of Genesis for the creation of the world has been explained as a myth. ...
67. 'Worlds in Collision' and the Birth of Monotheism [Journals] [SIS Review]
... its new attitude towards human history. With the abolition of gods and demi-gods, human history assumes the centre of the stage. The importance hitherto given to stories about the gods is now given to the process of human history and the working-out of its destiny towards a Messianic climax of the kingdom of God on earth. This is why the Bible, or at least the Old Testament, takes the form of a history book. The timeless polytheistic conception of harmony with nature, with its cyclic conceptions of death and re-birth, gives way to a concept of progress in a straight line towards a final consummation (6 ). All this amounts to a mutation of the human spirit ...
... on the contrary, confidently affirmed that the writer of the Genesis narrative must be understood as locating the Garden of Eden near the mouths of the Euphrates. Soon this original diversity of Protestant teaching upon the subject became aggravated by new theories, some of them suggested by orthodox ingenuity, some introduced by rationalistic conceptions of the semi-mythical character of the Bible, until at the present time the state of theological teaching respecting Eden is, if possible, a worse Babel than in any preceding age. For a partial illustration of the confusion one has only to turn to the most recent and authoritative biblical, theological, and religious encyclopaedias. In McClintock and Strong's, the writer on Eden inclines ...
69. The Dating of the El-Amarna Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , these Pharaohs ruled in the mid-9th, and not the 14th century BC and the letters themselves date roughly to between 870 and 840 BC (1 ). For this to be so it was necessary for him to demonstrate that the letters from Syria and Palestine were written by the kings of the mid-9th century known to us principally from the Bible and from some secondary sources such as the annals of the Assyrian king Shalmaneser III, "if it is true that Egyptian history must be revised and moved forward more than half a thousand years". Velikovsky based his comparison of the events of the letters and those of the Scriptures on the identifications of Abdi-Hiba of Jerusalem with King Jehoshaphat ...
70. Goedicke in Response to Stiebing [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... inscription of Hatshepsut is not the only one), it is my aim to grasp these indications in the framework of Egyptology. If the event or events happen to be reflected in other sources as well, one can consider this to be an extension of the primary concern. This question is especially pertinent in relation to anything transmitted by the Bible. The latter is not a historical account and thus should not be treated as such. The Bible as a literary composition is extremely complex; the study of its evolution is a vast intellectual endeavor, and its arbitrary use to grasp political and human events that occurred thousands of years ago is to be categorically rejected. Before anything meaningful ...
