... Material in the Book of Isaiah Cosmological Myths in the Book of Enoch Cosmological Myths in Various Minor Apocalypses Fragments of an Atlantis Myth in the Book of Jeremiah Mythological Material in the Book of Zechariah Apocalyptic Material in Exodus Notes Bibliography List of Passages Quoted and Commented Upon Introduction The most intriguing book of the New Testament, nay, of the whole Bible, is the last of all: The Revelation of Saint John the Divine, or, The Apocalypse. The book belies its name-which means an Unveiling-for its puzzling contents not only seem to reveal no further religious truths, but actually tend to obscure the clear story of the Gospels and to cast many a shadow over the satisfactory statements in ...
432. The Two Jehorams [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 1978 M. J. Sieff Martin Sieff has an Honours B.A . in History from Oxford University and is currently preparing a doctorate thesis. He is a founder of the Society and Associate Editor of this journal. Velikovsky identifies Rib-Addi of the el-Amarna correspondence with Ahab of Israel, and attributes to that ruler the deeds ascribed in the Bible to his son Jehoram. A more literal reading of the Biblical evidence shows that Rib-Addi, if he was a king of Israel, must be identified with this Jehoram and not with Ahab. In Ages in Chaos Immanuel Velikovsky suggested the hypothesis that "the very existence of Jehoram, king of Israel, may be questioned" (1 ...
433. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of the United Monarchy into two Kingdoms, in the 10th century BC. Of Jeroboam it is told that he "built Shechem in Mount Ephraim" and that "he built Pnu-el"; of Rehoboam, that he built fifteen fortified cities, among them Beth Lehem, Adullam, Hebron, etc. It does not need an expert on Bible history to realise that the expression "he built the city . . ." does not mean that a new city was founded. Shechem and Hebron existed already when Abraham first entered the Promised Land. In the case of Jeroboam, the answer is found in Josephus, who relates that Jeroboam built a Royal Palace at Shechem, and ...

... the Sakhra, which is covered by the sacred building known as the Kubbet es Sakhra at Jerusalem. The holy Rock itself measures 57 feet by 43, and bulges up over 6 feet over the pavement. The earliest reference to it is found in the Talmud and the ancient Jewish traditions, and in the Targum or interpretations of the Hebrew Bible. The mythic Abyss, with a torrent, is covered by the Rock. Abraham and Melchizedek sacrificed upon it; it was there Abraham was about to immolate Isaac and it was anointed by Jacob, which would make a beth-El of it. It is a navel of the world, and the Ark [see " The Arcana " ...
436. Solomon, The Exodus and Abraham Related to Egyptian Chronology [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... , S. Vaninger: Special Report, the Exodus Symposium 1987, Memphis', in C & AH 9:2 (1987), pp. 123-127; and for later periods see P. James et al. in SAC 1 (1987) or JACF 1 (1987). 2. The writer's own position is that the Bible is the inspired word of God, and is the only way out of the hole into which historians and archaeologists have dug themselves. This does not exclude the possibility that a small number of mistakes, misunderstandings and mistranslations may have crept into our texts. 3. I. Velikovsky: Ages in Chaos (London, 1953) 4 ...
437. Five Years (Immanuel Velikovsky's Jewish Science) [Books]
... has not been demonstrated that the evidence of either Scripture or archaeology can be fitted satisfactorily into this same altered structure," attempted an even more ambitious reconstruction of history. (25) His point of departure was identical to Velikovsky's- that the Exodus coincided with the Hyksos invasion of Egypt- but he was primarily interested in demonstrating the historicity of the Bible and in reinterpreting archeological evidence to conform to the chronology from Creation onwards. When Velikovsky was sent a copy of Courville's work he refused even to acknowledge its receipt. And even earlier, another fundamentalist, Donald Wesley Patten, who claimed that catastrophism "contains certain creationist implications," had also borrowed heavily from Velikovsky, but substituted a ...
438. Worlds in Collision in Macmillan's Catalogues [Journals] [Kronos]
... ) attacked his critics with "bitter denunciations" and (c ) compared himself with Copernicus and Galileo. All of these are untrue. On the first point, Chriss confuses pride in a Jewish heritage with being a biblical scholar. Phrases such as "lifelong studies" and "major interest" are used to describe Velikovsky's interest in the Bible at a time when he was a full-time doctor and psychoanalyst in Palestine. Chriss' emphasis is out of all proportion to the role the Bible played in Velikovsky's life before 1939, and after. While Velikovsky was not ignorant of scripture, neither was he then, in any special sense, a "biblical scholar". Even after ...
439. The Organization of the Solar System [Journals] [Aeon]
... . First, there is the evolutionary concept, the nebular hypothesis. This approach has been strongly supported by academia over the last 200 years. Second, there has been the theological concept, fiat creationism, supported by a few Jewish theologians and a variety of Christian theologians in an attempt at theoretical science which harmonizes with their understanding of the Bible. Thirdly, there has been the consensus concept, theistic evolution. This approach has been supported by certain scientists who eschew "chance," agnosticism and atheism. Yet they do adopt and support the scenario and the timing in the nebular hypothesis. To these three views, we suggest a fourth should be added, that of planetary ...
440. An Alternative to the Velikovskian Chronology for Ancient Egypt [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... as "Simrya of Sessi" in northern Syria. The story of "Sesoosis" in the works of Diodorus Siculus, and the parallel history of "Sesostris" in Herodotus, clearly refer to Ramesses II and confirm the usage of this abbreviated form of his name in the ancient world. (b ) The Massoretic text of the Hebrew Bible we have today was transcribed by rabbinical scholars in the Middle Ages, who added "pointing" to indicate vowel sounds and to differentiate between the sounds "sh" and "s ". It is therefore quite possible that the name "Shishak" could in fact be read "Sisak". Moreover most of the vowels in ancient ...
