Introduction to Abraham and the Old Testament
Paul Wallis opens by suggesting that the stories in the Bible, particularly in the first 11 chapters of Genesis, are not continuous but rather a collection of separate stories that have been fused together. He highlights that the Bible presents multiple narratives of “Beginnings” that have been edited to appear as one story, though they originally existed independently.
Genesis and Stories of Planetary Rehabilitation
Wallis argues that Genesis 1 is not a creation story but a story about the rehabilitation of Earth. The Hebrew phrase “tohu wa-bohu” refers to the planet being in a state of devastation and chaos. According to Wallis, the Elohim arrive to restore the planet. He emphasizes that this is the first of three flood stories in the early chapters of Genesis, and notes that two different flood narratives have been combined in Genesis 6.
Creation of Humanity and Separation of Nations
Wallis continues by explaining that Genesis includes two distinct stories about the creation of humanity, one describing the upgrade of human beings. He also points to stories about the separation of nations, lands, and continents. These stories culminate in a society destroyed for nearing the ability to venture into space. He suggests that our “cosmic neighbors” did not want Earth to become a space-faring civilization, leading to a catastrophic regression of human development. This is all within the first 11 chapters of Genesis.
Abraham and Sarah: Human Origins and Ancient Parallels
Paul Wallis then moves to the story of Abraham and Sarah, which conventionally marks the beginning of the Hebrew and Jewish people. However, Wallis argues that this is also a story of human origins. He draws a comparison between Abraham and Sarah and Brahma and Saraswati from Hinduism. By removing the vowels from their names, Wallis demonstrates that the names “Abraham” and “Sarah” closely resemble their counterparts in the Vedic tradition, who are regarded as the progenitors of the human race.
Clues of Older Human Narratives in the Bible
Wallis points out that further clues suggest the Bible contains an older human origins narrative. He references the later chapters in Genesis, where different kinds of human beings are described, specifically a smooth-skinned person and a hairy, physically stronger person. Wallis interprets this not as a story of brothers, but as a recollection of a time when early humans learned to dominate their environment and other hominid species.
Encounters with Advanced Beings
According to Wallis, the Abraham and Sarah narrative includes encounters with advanced beings. In this story, these beings first appear as three people, but later reveal their extraordinary nature. Two of these beings proceed to Sodom and Gomorrah, and are so attractive that they provoke strong reactions from the people. Wallis likens their attractiveness to the fame of modern celebrities, such as Harry Styles. However, their true power is revealed when they destroy two cities, which Wallis interprets as evidence that they were more than just beautiful people—they were advanced beings with destructive capabilities.
Conclusion: Ancient Armenia as the Origin
Wallis concludes by challenging the traditional belief that Abraham and Sarah originated from lower Mesopotamia. In his latest book, The Invasion of Eden, he argues that they likely came from ancient Armenia, presenting this theory as a key revision to common interpretations of biblical history.
