... two of them - Nahum and Joel - to post-catastrophic times; the issue cannot be settled in Velikovsky's own terms. Then there is the day of the Lord' itself. Isaiah, Amos, and Joel, claimed by Velikovsky as contemporary witnesses of the catastrophes they predict', certainly describe all the standard features: darkness of sun and moon (Isaiah 13:10, 24:23, Amos 5:1820, Joel 2:10-11, 3:3-4, 4:15), shaking of heaven and earth (Isaiah 2:19, 13:10, 29:6 , Joel 2: 10-1 1), fire and tempest (Isaiah 29:6 ...
902. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the 29th Olympiad in 664 BC recorded a broad jump of 52 feet. Today, that Olympic committee is accused of stretching the truth. Jueneman proposes that a temporary human weight loss, to allow this long jump, could be due to a disrupted Solar System. In particular, it may have been due to the pull of the closely-approaching Moon. If not this, then an (as yet unexplained) electromagnetic phenomenon is required, or a temporary change in the Earth's rate of rotation. In such a way Dr Velikovsky described weight loss at the Sinai Lawgiving: .. . and the people felt as if they were no longer standing securely on the ground, but were ...
903. Thoth Vol IV, No 4: Feb 29, 2000 [Journals] [Thoth]
... Hindu myth- the universe dissolves in flames, to be regenerated under a new world age. To the same category belong the great conflagrations separating the original rule of the Egyptian Re from the epoch that followed. Typically, scholars will "explain" the cosmic catastrophe theme through more familiar or ordinary events, an eclipse of the Sun or Moon, a local hurricane, earthquake, or volcano. Such "explanations" can only discourage close examination of the stories, with the result that vital, repeated elements are missed. But it is the full complex of themes that must be explained. A final example: DRAGON OF DARKNESS Nothing could be further removed from our familiar experience ...
904. The End of a World (Built Before the Flood) [Books]
... that the capture cataclysm would happen as soon as it did. When Luna was deprived of its independence as a planet it probably shot by very close to the Earth. At its first perigee, certainly the closest of all, the distance of the new Satellite from our Earth was perhaps only one third of the present mean distance of our Moon, which is 60 Earth radii. The most terrific gravitational pull which it was thus able to wield threw all the waters of the Earth suddenly into the tropics. A series of annular eagres, globe-girdling tidal ring, heaves mountain high, steeply reared, rushed in roaring career towards the equator. There the waters from the northern and ...
905. The Legends of the Jews: Volume I - Abraham [Books]
... year later than the other four; it was only fifty-one years old, and therefore the measure of its sins was not so full as the measure of the sins of the neighboring cities.[182] The destruction of the cities of the plain took place at dawn of the sixteenth day of Nisan, for the reason that there were moon and sun worshippers among the inhabitants. God said: "If I destroy them by day, the moon worshippers will say, Were the moon here, she would prove herself our savior; and if I destroy them by night, the sun worshippers will say, Were the sun here, he would prove himself our savior. I ...
906. On Morrison: Some Further Remarks [Journals] [Kronos]
... rigid body than the earth" (Science News, Ibid.). Such an interpretation would be entirely in keeping with the concept of a viscous-liquid planet burdened with only a thin regolith of cosmic debris. The foregoing arguments apply, in part, to Morrison's claim concerning the preservation of craters (see below). The Surfaces of the Moon and the Planets Morrison (p . 167): ". . . If Venus is only a few thousand years old, [its many craters suggest that] impacts must have occurred at an extraordinarily high rate, and therefore they must have been due to debris associated with the birth of Venus or its subsequent planetary encounters. There ...
907. The Legends of the Jews: Volume III [Books]
... ," he knew that it was day; but if they praised Him with "Blessed be the Lord to whom blessing is due," he knew it was night. Then, too, if he saw the sun appear before God and cast itself down before Him, he knew that it was night; if, however, the moon and the stars cast themselves at His feet, he knew that it was day. He could also tell time by the occupation of the angels, for by day they prepared manna for Israel, and by night they sent it down to earth. The prayers he heard in heaven served him as another token whereby he might know the ...
908. The Legends of the Jews: Volume III [Books]
... as in this world I appointed thee over the sixty myriads of Israel, so in the future world shall I appoint thee over the fifty-five myriads of pious men. Thy days, O Moses, will pass, when thou art dead, but thy light will not fade, for thou wilt never have need of the light of sun or moon or stars, nor wilt thou require raiment or shelter, or oil for thy head, or shoes for thy feet, for My majesty will shine before thee, My radiance will make thy face beam, My sweetness will delight thy palate, the carriages of My equipage shall serve as vehicles for thee, and one of My many ...
909. Night of the Gods: Polar Myths. Rock of Ages [Books]
... and Earth his mother, and that he was therefore called Heaven's son, T'ien tsze. The dissolution of his body at death gave the existing material universe; the breath becoming winds and clouds, the voice thunder, the blood rivers, the hair plants and trees, the parasites mankind, his left eye the sun and his right the moon.33 In Japanese myth the purification of Izanagi and also the transformation of the dead body of Kagutsuchi when killed by Izanagi are parallel cosmogonies to Fan Ku; but a sun-goddess comes from Izanagi's left eye and a moon god from his right.34 In Norse mythology we find an equally striking parallel in tile evolution of the Universe. ...
910. The Creation of the Earth -- the Second Account [Books]
... is observable in the mythologies of all peoples, and it was probably adopted by the reporters and transmitters of the various accounts to ensure their being handed on by oral tradition. A colourful tale has an infinitely longer life than an abstract description. The abstract description of the great cataclysm which ended the aeon of the satellite which preceded our present Moon would be something like this, ' Owing to cosmic causes the former satellite approached the Earth till the distortive pull of the terrestrial gravitation outweighed the cohesion of the satellitic orb. Thereupon the satellite disintegrated and its wreckage fell on the Earth. After the end of the satellite the terrestrial waters which had been drawn into the tropical zone flowed ...
