... very like to the symmetry and regularity of the people of Israel in the wilderness, (see Description of the Temples, ch. 9.,) that one cannot well avoid the supposal, that the one was the ultimate pattern of the other, and that the tactics of the ancients were taken from the rules given by God to Moses. And it is thought by some skillful in these matters, that these accounts of Josephus, as to the Roman camp and armor, and conduct in war, are preferable to those in the Roman authors themselves. (4 ) I cannot but here observe an Eastern way of speaking, frequent among them, but not usual among ...
... vast bulk and height, called Aletae (c .p . elite, noble), or Titans, who were the first civilized men. Their first great city, he states, was Tyre.2 In the O.T . we read of the sons of Anak, or Giant, so immense that the spies sent out by Moses described themselves as "mere grasshoppers in their sight", implying that the Anakim towered over them. The Ethiopians or Meropes of Herodotus and others were similarly giants. To get to the bottom of these traditions a complete reconstruction of their original and true motherland is needed. When we seek to trace the tall, blond races our eyes ...
443. Religious Elements in Science [Books] [de Grazia books]
... of these had images predicting dire events at the same airport or some airport at roughly the same time. It would not require many cases of this sort to prove the validity of this type of supernaturalism (the type is very commonly asserted in legends, mythology, and religious documents, as, e.g ., when Yahweh tells Moses to fetch the Elders on the Holy Mountain to be near The Lord and they come and do see the Lord. (Exodus 24) However, if one were a foundation grants officer he might give money to the "control group drug study" as described, but not in any expectation of a resulting byproduct such as the air ...
444. The Methodology of Patten's Martian Scenario [Journals] [Aeon]
... publish a paper in which he presented his basis for the Apollo/Baal equation. To be sure, this was not the same aborted paper that Patten had been referencing in his previous works but, in 1986, two years prior to the publication of Patten's latest book, McDowell finally placed his cards on the table in an exposition on Moses. In this new paper, McDowell correctly pointed out that, in the Old Testament, the name Baal is usually preceded by the definite article- "the"- which, in Hebrew, is "ha." Thus, in Hebrew, the name is usually rendered "ha Baal," that is "the Lord. ...
445. Thales: The First Astronomer [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... be it in religion, literature, history, politics, science-and the larger the area over which that tradition extends itself, the more important it becomes to make people believe that the tradition had a founder of the highest authority, and hence the readier later ages are to attribute to the founder lofty and god-like accomplishments. The best example is Moses: the higher criticism has completely demolished the idea that Moses wrote the Pentateuch, but this tradition was indispensable to many centuries of Jewish traditional belief. The trouble with this sophisticated insight is that it easily enters into an unholy alliance with the uniformitarian paradigm itself, according to which in human civilization, as in earth history and the development ...
446. A Brief Summary of the Evidence for a Gap in the Bible and Much Earlier Dates for Many of its Major Events [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... for themselves, like barbarians. Then Ipuwer had to inform the King that although he was the shepherd of all mankind, half his herd had departed in the night, taking with it much of the wealth of the land. Neferrohu confirmed that Anu, the birthplace of all the gods, was deserted. In the story of the Exodus Moses also led his people out by night, taking with them Egyptian gold and silver. It is easy to see how the description of the escape from these very real catastrophes in Egypt could be transformed into a ceremony of magical deliverance, as described in the Hebrew version. c. 2100(?): Evidence of a freak occupation ...
447. Abraham to Hezekiah: An Archaeological Revision Part I [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... not have invaded Palestine at this time without a confrontation there. Secondly, we know from conquest narratives that Shechem was known to the Israelites: it is mentioned six times in the book of Joshua. More importantly, according to Joshua 8 the Israelites met at the very site of Shechem to recite the blessings and curses of the Law of Moses. These points strongly suggest that at the time of the conquest Shechem could not have been much more than an unfortified village unable to resist the invasion. Another Conquest In contrast to the above alternatives, there is an abundance of positive archaeological evidence for synchronizing the conquest with the end of the Early Bronze III period. This can be ...
448. Biblical Pentapolis or Midianite Cities? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... 27] Even so, to be fair to Vaninger, it will have to be admitted that the sources leave no doubt that Zoar escaped destruction. Even if abandoned, its former residents could have returned to reinhabit it. In any case, we know from Deuteronomy that Zoar was still in existence during the Israelite conquest of Canaan. When Moses climbed Mount Nebo just before his death he could see "the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar."[28] The city seems to have been still standing during the time of Isaiah and Jeremiah. Isaiah prophesied that the fugitives from the doomed Moab shall flee unto Zoar;[ ...
449. From Microcosm to Macrocosm: The Fearful Symmetry of Catastrophism [Journals] [Kronos]
... twenty miles was equal to several suns at midday."(8 ) As far away as Albuquerque, Sante Fe, and El Paso the great light was seen; and the protective thick dark glasses worn by those at the test site must surely bring to mind the passage from Exodus (33:23), where by special grace Moses is allowed to see the back of Yahweh but not His face, "for there shall no man see Me and live."(9 ) Yet on that fateful July day there were those who dared to look upon the face of God and many were never again psychologically the same. To Brigadier General Farrell "no man-made phenomenon ...

... Codex - see KRONOS, I, 1 (Spring-1975), pp. 75-79- "Velikovsky drew from Brasseur's translation of Mayan glyphs - both those of the Troano Codex and those of the calendar stones- absolutely nothing except restatements of the commonplace of Mayan catastrophist traditions"(p . 78). Point # 9: The historicity of Moses and Joshua is a moot point and certainly not to be treated as cavalierly as you do. (What is your attitude about the historicity of Jesus?) However, your opinion hardly stands up against the great scholars of this subject (see Monotheism and Moses, ed. by R.J . Christen and H.E . ...
