... so wroth against Ezra that they sought to slay him. He escaped the peril to his life only by a Divine miracle. (5 ) Daniel, too, was exposed to much suffering at this time. King Cyrus cast him into a den of lions, because he refused to bow down before the idol of the king. For seven days Daniel lay among the wild beasts, and not a hair of his head was touched. When the king at the end of the week found Daniel alive, he could not but acknowledge the sovereign grandeur of God. Cyrus released Daniel, and instead had his calumniators thrown to the lions. In an instant they were rent in ...
622. The Two Jehorams [Journals] [SIS Review]
... over Israel in Samaria the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah..." whereas II Kings 1:17 records his accession "in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah." Velikovsky concluded that of the "two contradictory statements" II Kings 1:17 was correct, and that for the last seven years of Jehoshaphat's reign Ahab, not his son Jehoram, had reigned in Israel. In which case Ahab "would not have died at the hand of one of Ben-Hadad's archers but would have only been wounded and would have survived Ben-Hadad. Similarly the rebellion of Mesha king of Moab, would not have taken place after the death of ...
623. The Opening Of The Mouth Ritual - Part I [Journals] [Aeon]
... Another washing of the statue's mouth along with the necessary formula recitation ended this part of the rite. Finally, at dawn, the lustration gods Ea, Shamash, and Marduk (all Saturnian gods [131] ), were given special seats and offered food and drink while a formula was recited before Shamash. Following an incense-and-lamb offering to seven divinities, "the priest for the fifth time washed and opened the statue's mouth." According to a text now in the British Museum, "[ a ]n image of the sun god Shamash was remade at the command of Nabu-appla-iddina (885-852 BCE)." The text continues to read that this king "carefully prepared the ...
624. Plagues and Comets [Books] [de Grazia books]
... to approach the king of Egypt as the chief spokesman for the Hebrews. Estimates of the period occupied by the plagues and the negotiations between Hebrews and Egyptians range from a few weeks to years. A tradition gives one year for the plagues. Pliny, writing in the first century A.D . reports that the briefest comet was visible seven days, the longest for 180 days (following Seneca).[22] A few weeks may be presumed necessary and sufficient. More would be inconsistent with the phenomena of a cometary encounter; less would not allow time for the goings to and fro, the shocks of experience, the communication of rumors and reports. Early " ...
625. The Birth and Death of Memory [Books] [de Grazia books]
... history of Egypt. Its central figure was the Pharaoh Akhnaton. The story survived its original obliteration at the hands of the theocracy of Egyptian Thebes. It held intact as it was transferred across cultures, probably via Ugarit whose King Nikomedes may have founded Grecian Thebes, as Cadmus. By the time of Sophocles' tragedy, Oedipus Rex, seven mnemonic or fourteen reproductive generations had passed, that is, about four hundred years.[2 ]. Heavy trauma, it is here proposed, is at the source of many features of the higher intellectual operations and "advanced" social institutions of humankind. An experience which we call traumatic is one which within a very short space ...

... ago the Voyager spacecraft sent pictures of the violently active Prometheus. Recent Galileo pictures reveal the volcano appears to have moved west. Problem comets New Scientist 8.6 .96, p. 19, 24.8 .96, pp. 13 and 18 and 31.8 .96, p. 19 Details of comet Hyakutaki and seven other recent comets indicate there are at least two sorts, depending on whether they are rich in ethane or methanol, and the distinction between comets and asteroids decreases with every new discovery. An object in the middle of the asteroid belt has an elongated cometary orbit, yet appears to be inert even when close to the Sun and there ...
627. The Sybil and Dr Stecchini [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Roman occupation. The literary evidence speaks out strongly against the possibility that the composition from which the lines were taken dates from the period c. 100 BC. Kugler, in fact, considers - here Stecchini and I again agree - that the content of the lines describes, in poetic form, the normal movement of the sky during the seven months from September to April, and provides a detailed exegesis to support this view [SSP 11-35; FKFS 8-10, 22-6]. By retrocalculation, he finds skies conforming to the events allegorised in the narrative occurring around 100 BC [6 ]. It is at this point that Stecchini's deductions cease to be justified by anything I can ...
628. Antiquated Textbooks: Redesigning the Solar System [Journals] [Aeon]
... , I would like to repeat a story told by Ley concerning this. When a physicist friend of his- or so he says- informed him of the discovery of the Van Allen Belt via long distance phone call from Washington, Ley told him: "One should have thought of that, shouldn't one?" "You and thirty seven others!" the friend replied. Ley then adds: "Fact is nobody did until it was discovered." [35] Fact is one man did- and Willy Ley knew it. Although what I have to report next has been repeated many times before, it behooves us to remember it. During 1956, preparations for ...
629. Planets in the Bible: I -- The Cosmology of Job [Journals] [SIS Review]
... borne in mind when considering the effects postulated by Velikovsky of contacts between Venus and the Earth. A third derivation is offered in Tractate Berachot 58b: from Keme'ah, "like a hundred", because the cluster consists of approximately 100 stars. This derivation would hardly suggest the Pleiades, the most noticeable characteristics of which is their number of seven; however, the extreme brightness implied would certainly fit Ishtar, "Queen of Heaven". The "sweet influences of Pleiades" must have troubled the translators. The plural noun ma-adanot, translated "sweet influences", may be literally translated "dainty food", "tit-bit". If Kimah is Venus, "dainty food ...
630. The Twenty-One Years of Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... disappeared in the east; she remained absent from the sky for two months six days; in the month Ulul, on the twenty-fourth day, Ninsianna appeared in the west - the heart of the land is happy. In the month Nisan, on the twenty-seventh day, Ninsianna disappeared in the west; she remained absent from the sky for seven days; in the month Ayar, on the third day, Ninsianna appeared in the east - hostilities occur in the land, the harvest of the land is successful. The contents of these entries indicate that the astronomers who recorded the irregular invisibilities of Venus were concerned with establishing whether they portended something ominous. Hence, they listed the ...
