... a child about Atlantis. The Atlantis story is generally disbelieved, yet if an educated unbeliever were to compare it with the story of the Deluge of Noah in the Bible, it would appear to be just as (im)plausible. It is no less specific. The "author" of one is Plato, of the other, Moses; who is more reliable? True, Atlantis is no longer to be found, above or below the sea, and therefore presumed not to have sunk; but the flood that climbed to great heights all over the Near East has vanished, too. Objectively, one would have to be as skeptical (and no more so) ...
152. Solomon's Temple: An Astronomical Observatory [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... value of celestial observations in the preparation of calendars and navigational charts; let us now review some of the calendric implications. First of all, the calendric needs of the Jews obviously pertained to their ritual system, schedule of sacrifices, and national celebrations and holy days. Directions for the timing of events, laid out in the writings of Moses, were based upon a lunar calendar. A lunar calendar, of course, would require close scrutiny of the night-time skies. Accordingly, we should seek indications that the Temple of Solomon was equipped for night observations. At this point I take a procedural clue from the ancient historian Diodorus of Sicily.4 In describing an even more ...
153. Introduction C&AH 3rd Proceedings [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... two seminars. The first was held at Cuyahoga Community College, near Cleveland, Ohio, and the second was held on the campus of the University of Toronto, Canada. We have combined lectures from both Seminars to make this into one large Proceedings. The first lecture was by Professor Charles McDowell. His topic was "The Egyptian Prince Moses." It is a controversial theory about Moses' origins. The second presentation was by Dean Hickman. His subject was the dating of Hammurabi. While the present editor dates Hammurabi about the time of Joshua, Mr. Hickman attempts to build a case for his dating nearer to David. It is important to place Hammurabi in his ...
154. The Legends of the Jews: Volume II - Joseph [Books]
... not to leave Egypt until a redeemer should appear and announce his message with the words, "Pakod- I have surely visited you" --a tradition which Joseph had received from his father, who bad it from Isaac, and Isaac in turn had beard it from Abraham.[434] And he told them that God would redeem Israel through Moses as through the Messiah, in this world as in the world to come, and the Egyptian redemption would begin in Tishri, when Israel would be freed from slave labor, and would be completed in the following Nisan, when they would leave Egypt.[435] Joseph also admonished his brethren to walk in the ways of the ...
155. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... trace its ancestry back to one man Jacob, who migrated to Egypt with his family 430 years before the Exodus. During this time his descendants multiplied and became so numerous that the Egyptians felt themselves threatened and put them to forced labour. Towards the end they even sought to drown their newborn boys in the Nile. Eventually an Israelite named Moses, who had never known slavery, was met by a messenger from God. The angel charged him to encourage his people with the promise that God would deliver them from slavery and bring them out of Egypt with an outstretched arm and great acts of judgment', and give them the land inhabited by Canaanites and other tribes for their ...
156. In Search of the Exodus [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... be a misnomer with "pre-Yahwist" being preferable, for describing the period prior to the rise of a Yahweh cult which ascended to prominence contemporaneous with the rise of David. To speak continually of tribes and tribal intrusions may also be a misnomer, a repetitive feature of biblical textual critics. An actual element vacating the land of Egypt under Moses is also pertinent, but obscure, merged into and represented perhaps by the shadowy "habiru"- a term used to describe a social class of imprecise allegiance and affiliation, yet apparently preserved as an intact term in the biblical "Hebrew." David and the monarchy united a sprawling melee of peoples of diverse origin; evangelized by ...
157. The Jewish Science of Immanuel Velikovsky: Part One [Journals] [Aeon]
... he edited the books of Kings and Chronicles and it is also assumed...that he had his hand in composing the books that go under the names of Nehemiah and Ezra...He was guided by the vision of the past- the misty time of the patriarchs, the days and years when the nation, led by Moses, went through its most sublime period...He also carried with him from exile the vision of the future role of Israel...He introduced the reading of the Torah (Pentateuch) in public; he instituted the feast of Tabernacles (Succoth)...More than any other prophet, priest, or scribe ...
158. Horizons [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... to the Planetary Hypothesis. I missed this talk, but I gather that Zysman's theory involves some kind of Ice Shield which enveloped the Earth in prehistoric times and that this produced a variety of tricks of the light. These were observed by mankind and gave rise to the myths relating to gods and planets. SATURDAY AFTERNOON: EV COCHRANE: Moses and the Exodus. This talk seemed to be suggesting that the planet involved in Velikovsky's scenario for the Exodus was not Venus but Mars. However it was wide-ranging and included references to the name for the Jewish god - El - being also Saturn. Points made included: links of Ur and Ugarit to the Old Testament; the uncertain ...
159. Bronson Feldman, 1914-1982: A Biographical Note [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Freudian tenets to stand on ground of his own. It should be noted that there is no direct reflection of Vehkovsky s work in this book, and that, at one point, Feldman describes Akhnaton as the father of monotheism, following Freud. I draw attention to this because, to my mind, it was Feldman's study of Freud's Moses and Monotheism and his dissatisfaction with it which primed his brain for what he came to call the Velikovskian revolution. In 1962 Feldman became oneof the founders of the new American Imago, a Freudian journal dedicated to the application of psychoanalysis in fields traditionally called the humanities. (See American Imago, Fall, 1982, for that journal's tribute ...
... after the other spake and entreated, "Create the world through me! The first to step forward was the letter Taw. It said: "O Lord of the world! May it be Thy will to create Thy world through me, seeing that it is through me that Thou wilt give the Torah to Israel by the hand of Moses, as it is written, Moses commanded us the Torah. ' " The Holy One, blessed be He, made reply, and said, "No!" Taw asked, "Why not?" and God answered: "Because in days to come I shall place thee as a sign of death upon the foreheads of ...
