The Gods in the Bible
First we must observe, that this is a singular place, where he intends to speak of that sin, commonly called original, which passed from Adam upon all men; nor is there any other observed in the whole Bible, through the whole Old and New Testament, where clearly and openly this sin of Adam is handled.
Because the Jews were elected unto holiness, they are commonly called a Holy Nation, and a Holy People in the Bible; yea, and simply holy.
The Divines, who were the Disciples of the Astrologers, turned their eyes back again upon heaven, and when they saw those celestial fires as it were pierce our inferiour bodies with their rayes, for which cause the Bible calls them the host of heaven, they thought them to be Gods omnipotent, to whom all things did give obedience, and turned all things towards themselves; and so gave them names, either from the power they exercised upon earthly things, or from some peculiar effect that they had in mens destinies.
[gap], and will still hold, That there is as much in the Bible, as God has granted us to know, either of the Original of the World, of Prophecies, Divine mysteries, or our salvation.
I need not trouble the Reader much further, to prove a thing in it self sufficiently evident, that the five first books of the Bible were not written by Moses, as is thought.
Trusting in the help of that holy Spirit, and moved by that instinct, which is rather a touch of God, than a knowledge, I dare guesse at some things in the Bible; for all men cannot perform all things.
That the same fate which swept away abundance of prophane authors, hath likewise consumed most of the Original copies of the Bible, I am very certainly perswaded.
That eternity was uncertain and undeterminate; Wherefore in the Bible eternity is often undeterminate.
Meant, that Christ was the end of all mysteries; both which were commanded by the Law, and contained in the books of the Prophets: In which signification, the Law is very frequent, and is taken for the whole Bible.
He is saying that his idea does not harm the faith or the Bible.
He wants the Bible to agree with the old records of other nations.
Donnelly maintain the latter in face of the historical evidence of Nimrod in the Bible, and in the cuneiform tablets ?* Among other sons of Poseidon who bear * In the Month, January 1884, I diseuesed the evidence as to the historical existence of Nimrod with reference to the cuneiform tablets.

Assuming the fact that Bacchus- represents the later traditions of the patriarch Noah, or possibly the tradition of Cham, embodying traditions of the episode recorded in the Bible, the substitution of wine-sacks for vrater-sacks in the following narratives would correspond to the confusion of tradition we have just seen in the combination of the wine-butt and the canoe.* * The late Colooel George Macdonell, C.B., related that certain Jesuit miBsionaries went in search of an Indian tribe whom Sir Jojjn
Smith says : "We then come to the creation of the heavenly orbs, which are described in the inscription as arranged like animals, while the Bible says they were set as ' Ughts in the firmament of heaven ;' and just as the book of Genesis says they were set for signs and seasons, for days and years, so the inscription describes that the stars were set in courses to point out the year.
Back to the Bible 308 CHAPTER XIV.
Limitations of the Bible 317 In the Beginning 321 The Nebular Theory 322 The Creative Hierarchies.
The Bible story of the sounding of the ram's horn while marching around the walls of the city of Jericho is not nonsensical in the eyes of the occultist.
The teaching of the Bible is very different, as will appear later.
Is it not more logical to think that we may have misinterpreted the Bible than to impute to God such a monstrous plan and method of procedure?
In the Bible man is called Adam and it is said that he was made of earth.
This is what is meant by the Bible statement that "Abel was a shepherd." It is nowhere stated that he killed animals.
He killed to eat and that is why the Bible states that "Nimrod was a mighty hunter." Nimrod represents the man of the Fourth Epoch.
Hitherto only water had been used as a drink and in the ceremonies of the Temple service, but after the submergence of Atlantis — a continent which once existed between Europe and America, where the Atlantic Ocean now lies — those who escaped destruction began to cultivate the vine and make wine, as we find narrated in the Bible story of Noah.
They are called "Thrones" in the Bible, and worked on man of their own free will.
The Bible also gives one the idea of infinite space preceding the activity of Spirit.
That is shown in such passages of the Bible as "Adam knew Eve and she
Religion is one of these aids, and there are excellent reasons why the Bible, containing not only the one, but both the Jewish and Christian religions, should have been given to the West.
BACK TO THE BIBLE 309 chapter touch again upon certain points previously brought out in various places and connections.
That is what is meant in the Bible where the fact is recorded that the sons of God married the daughters of men.

BACK TO THE BIBLE 313 settled, but in vain.
BACK TO THE BIBLE 315 pie." This Paul points out in unmistakable terms (Heb.
Thus we can see that the Bible contains the teaching peculiarly needed by the Western peoples, that they may be taught a lesson by the awful example of the Jewish Race as recorded in the Old Testament, and learn to live by the teachings of the Christ in the New, willingly offering up their bodies as a living sacrifice upon the altar of Fellowship and Love.
IN our study thus far, previous to Chapter XIII, comparatively little reference has been made to the Bible, but we shall now devote our attention to it for some time.
Not that it is intended to attempt a vindication of the Bible (in the form in which it is commonly known to us at the present day) as the only true and inspired Word of God, nevertheless it is true that it contains much valuable occult knowledge.
Moreover, there is a large number of people in this country who insist that the English text of the King James version is absolutely correct from cover to cover, as though the Bible had been originally written in English, and the King James version were a certified copy of the original manuscript.
It must also be noted that those who originally wrote the Bible did not intend to give out the truth in such plain form that he who ran might read.
The Jewish Bible was originally written in Hebrew, but we do not possess one single line of the original writings.
Having satisfied ourselves that the beginning of our System and the work of the creative Hierarchies, as described by occult science, harmonize with the teachings of the Bible, we will now examine the Bible account of the different "Days of Creation" and see how they agree with the occult teachings relative to the Saturn, Sun, and Moon Periods; the three and one-half Revolutions of the Earth Period; and the Polarian, Hyperborean, Lemurian, and Atlantean Epochs, which have preceded the present Aryan Epoch.
The Bible refers to them as the "Spirits of the Elohim." THE SUN PERIOD.
The Bible narrator, however, is not speaking of the Earth alone.
Thus there were two kinds of water, and a division between them, as stated in the Bible.
The Bible agrees with the teaching of modern science that plants succeeded the mineral.
The Bible narrator gives only
;" and in verse 27, "Elohim formed man in their likeness; male and female made they [Elohim] them." The Bible historian here omits the a-sexual and hermaphrodite human stages and comes to the two separate sexes, as we know them now.
Therefore the Bible narrator is doing no violence to facts when he states that man was formed in the Atlantean Epoch.
Their Bible records that the sons of God married the daughters of man — the lower grades of their Atlantean compatriots.
The contention of the opponents of the Bible, that it is a mere mutilation of the original writings, is cheerfully agreed to by occult science.
This can be shown even to those who stand firmly upon the Bible as authority, for even the King James version distinctly states (Eccles.
The grotesque and impossible manner in which the separation of the sexes is said to have been accomplished (as described in the common versions of the Bible and, in this particular case, in the Masoretic text also) is another example of what may be done by changing vowels in the old
When this alteration is made, the occult teaching as previously given harmonizes with that of the Bible and both agree with the teaching of modern science that man was bi-sexual at one time, before he developed one sex at the expense of the other.
Apparently the Bible narrator does not wish to give, in this second creation account, an accurate picture of the whole of evolution, but rather to particularize a little more what was said in the first chapter.
The Bible statement that Jehovah put man to sleep when he was to bring forth is correct.
It has always been a sore puzzle to Bible commentators what connection there could possibly be between the eating of fruit and the bearing of children, but if we understand that the eating of the fruit is symbolical of the generative act whereby man becomes "like God" inasmuch as he knows his kind and is thus able to generate new beings, the solution is easy.
We have in the Jewish Bible good examples of how man forgot, and had to be patiently and persistently "prodded" again and again by the Tribal God.
According to the Bible, man was to have dominion over the world, but in the vast majority of cases the reverse is true — it is the world which has dominion over man.
Now, however, on the seventh day (to use the language of the Bible), God rests.

The Narraganset Bible, the work of Eliot, the apostle of the Indians, is the memorial of a race that has perished ; while other nations and languages have disappeared since his day, with no such invaluable record of their character.
The correspondence of Eliot, "the Apostle of the Indians," with the first governor of the Company, is marked by their anxiety for the completion of the Massachusetts Bible, which, along with other books, he had translated for the benefit of the Indians of New England.
From the Massachusetts Bible of Eliot, Professor Whitney quotes a word of eleven syllables ; and Gallatin produces from the Cherokee another of seventeen syllables.
But it illustrates a difficulty with which Eliot was very familiar when engaged on his Massachusetts Indian Bible.

Like most of the mythical parts of the Bible narrative of the Creation, the killing of Dizonzu by his brother Kanonzia, was among the rest.
Others, again, make it originate in the building of Solomon's temple, manyJewishnames, emblems and legends, taken from the Bible, having found their way into the rites of initiation to several degrees.
Their successors saw only allegories in the symbols of the Order, and the extensive use of words and texts from the Bible was then introduced.
Instead of endeavoring to ascertain how and when these ceremonies were introduced into our present system, they have taken it for granted that they were derived from the religious mysteries of the ancients." Now, if we merely consider the tokens of recognition, the pass words and secret words, the decorations of the lodges, according to the degrees into which modern Masonry is divided, tokens, words and decorations nearly all taken from the Bible and symbolical of events, real or imaginary, some of which are said to have taken place in comparatively modern times, after the decline and final discontinuance of the ancient mysteries in consequence of the spread of Christianity; others having occurred in the early days of the Christian era; others at the time ofthebuildingofSolomon'sTemple, allofwhich had certainly nothing to do with the religious mysteries of Egypt, Chaldea, Greece, Etruria, etc., that were instituted ages before the pretended occurrence of those events, then we may positively affirm that
the Jews, the Christians, the Mahometans, in fact by all peoples whose religious tenets are founded on the Bible.
In any estimate of the mysterious movements recorded in the Bible concerning the great dispersion, America and its people have no place.
Perhaps the best illustration of this subject is found in the Bible, especially as the identity of profane and sacred mythology is there discovered.
The mythological lexicon and the ten thousand pictures which belong to it might be used as fuel for the bonfire, or, more in the spirit of the present sordid age, sold to the chandlers' shops as waste paper to tie up tobacco and sweets, were it not for the Bible.
A long-subsequent but most ancient and cultivated people, whose memory has, for us, almost faded from the earth, will thereafter embalm the great drama in legends, myths, prayers, poems, and sagas ; fragments of which are found to-day dispersed through all literatures in all lands ; some of them, as we shall see, having found their way even into the very Bible revered alike of Jew and Christian :
But these myths can not be accounted for in this way ; for the missionaries did not teach that the world was once destroyed by fii'e, and that a remnant of mankind escaped by taking refuge in a cave ; although, as we shall see, such a legend really appears in several places hidden in the leaves of the Bible itself.
In the Hindoo legend (see page 171, ante) of the great battle between Rama, the sun-god, and Ravana, the evil-one, Rama persuaded the monkeys to help him build a bridge to the Island of Lanka, "and the stones which crop out through Soxithern India are said to have been drop)ped by the monkey builders.'''' In the legend of theTupi Indians (seepage 175, ante),we are told that God "swept about the fire in suchway that in someplaces he raisedmountainsand in others dug valleys.'''' In the Bible we have distinct references to the fall of matter from heaven.
"We are told in the Bible (Job, i, 16) — " While he [Job] was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them, and I only am escaped alone to tell thee." And in verse 18 we are told — " While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said.
And if this interpretation be true, withhow much reverential care should we consider these ancient records cmbraced in the Bible !
In the beginning, says the Bible, at the very first, God created the heavens and the earth.
So, in the Bible narrative, we read that, in Lot's time, God resolved on the destruction of "the cities of the plain," Sodoni, (Od, Ad,) and Gomorrah, (Go-Meru,) because of the wickedness of mankind :
In conclusion, let us observe how fully the Bible record accords with the statements of the Druidical, Hindoo, Scandinavian, and other legends, and with the great unwi'itten theory which underlies all our religion.
"Adima and Heva lived for some time in perfect happiness—no suffering came to distui'b their quietude ; they had but to stretch forth their hands and pluck from surroimding trees the most delicious fruits—but to stoop and gather rice of the finest quality." This is tbe same Golden Age represented in Genesis, when Adam and Eve, naked, but supremely happy, lived * Jacolliet, " The Bible in India," p.
But one day the evil-one came, as in the Bible legend ; the Prince of the Kakchasos (Raknaros—Ragnarok ?) came, and broke up this paradise.
On page 174, ante, we learn that the Iroquois believed that when Joskeha renewed the world, after the great battle with Darkness, he learned from the great tortoise * Jacolliet, "The Bible in India," p.
In the Bible a long interval elapsed between the fall of man, or his expulsion from pai'adise, and the Deluge of Noah ; and during this period mankind rose to civilization ; became workers in the metals, musicians, and the builders of cities.
And it is, in this connection, remarkable that the Bible tells us (Genesis, chap, ii, v.
In other words, the present habitat of men is, as I have shown, according to the Bible, east of their former dwelling-place.
Hence, if the Bible is to be relied on, before man reached the garden of Eden, he had been created in some region icest of the garden, to wit, in America ;, and here he may have first developed the civilization of which we find traces in Illinois, showing a metal-working race sufficiently advanced to have an alphabet and a currency.
Even the happy few who know something of the facts of the Bible will learn much from the felicitousness of the present exposition.
I read Hermann Wieland's Atlantis, Edda und Bibel for the names, places, and dates he would set beside Plato, the Edda, and the Bible.
The Bible, on his reading, is the same report, stolen and rewritten.
Ezra, about 500 B.C., assembled the Bible out of older Aryan books and put the Hebrews in the place of the Aias.
West of the pillars of Hercules is the remnant Plato and the Bible describe.
He says many Bible riddles remain, especially many psalms, the prophetic books, and the Revelation of St.
The reader is to see the links of Atlantis, the Edda, and the Bible, and to see Aryan people as the original makers of the Bible and of culture.
The Bible's one pair in paradise, Adam and Eve, cannot, he says, be the parents of races that differ in body and character.
Beside "men" the Bible speaks of children or sons of God, Theos, who took daughters of men.
Perhaps it is the capital of sunk Atlantis, and perhaps Atlantis is the paradise of the Bible.
The Bible, if all this holds, is not God's word but old history reports rewritten for the purposes of Judaism.
He says the next sections will try, with astronomy, geology, paleontology, anthropology, race study, and newer history, to join the Bible to the German Edda and to the old sagas of the peoples of the earth, and that the drowned continent Atlantis was a chief glory of Germanic culture.
Section 2, pages 6 to 14, is Hörbiger's world ice, told as the terror the Edda and the Bible remember.
Here, he says, arose the prehistoric Germanic world culture of which the old sagas, the Edda, and the Bible speak.
Here arose some of the history reports that reached the priestly libraries and were then used by the Jewish makers of the Bible.
The following leaves will tell the Germanic culture and history of Atlantis as the old sagas, the Edda, the Bible, and the Bohuslän pictures give it.
Section 5, pages 18 to 21, is his list of proofs, then the decision to tell the story in the words of Sais, the Edda, and the Bible.
It agrees, he says, with sagas older than Plato, with Homer and especially the Odyssey and the Iliad, with old Egyptian and Indian tradition, with Maya, Inca, Toltec, Peruvian, and Araucanian records saved from missionaries, and with parts of the Edda and the Bible that had not been explained.
The Atlantis of Plato and of the Bible was the remnant of that risen continent, west of the pillars of Hercules.
He will describe them from the researches and the books just named, and on purpose in the reports of the priests at Sais, the Edda, and the Bible, so the reader sees that they describe Atlantis in agreement, and that the Bible often brings very old history reports, presumably copied from heathen priestly libraries.
Read the Bible places he will cite as history of Atlantis, its capital, and the Asenburg, and the scales fall from the eyes, as with the apostle Paul.
The Bible's related places call it, shortly, "earth." Psalm 24 speaks of the earth on the many waters.
The sense is that this plain is the garden of Eden in Genesis 2, the paradise of the Bible, and that the description agrees with old American reports.
Atta means father in Bishop Ulfilas's Gothic Bible translation, and it appears in Luther's Bible as Abba.
Old Indian records, which he postpones to section 31, likewise call the Atlantic Aryans the holy ones, as the Bible does, and their rulers kings of the light.
Those are the four streams which, after the Bible, flowed through Eden and watered it.
The Edda also knows the Bible's four streams and calls them the four milk streams from the udder of the cow Audhumbla.
The Bible's phrase, a land flowing with milk and honey, is to be applied to Mitgard-Atlantis.
In the Bible he finds the sign of God and of the beast, the lamb, the seal of God on the foreheads, the dragon, the old snake, the mark of the beast on forehead or hand, worship of the image of the beast, and the white horse.
The badges of the great beast, after the Bible and the old star maps, were snake, dragon, and wolf, tattooed on the hand.
Probably, to judge from the Bible, and he points to Revelation 17 to 19, it was called Babylon, which he reads as Papylon, burg of the All-father, from Papas or Papi, father, and lon, burg.
The Bible calls it the tree of life and the wood of life.
Far back before Christ one wore crosses as amulets and raised, on graves, tree posts, the Asherah of the Bible, standing for Yggdrasil, or stones with the cross.
Hence the Bible's expression, into the third and the seventh heaven.
If a lower-race person, called unclean and unholy in the Bible, who did not wear the sign of God, the golden circlet and the cross on the forehead, entered the temple, it counted as desecrated.
As keepers of the eternal fire the Norns return among the Romans as Vestals and in ancient temples as temple virgins, called angels in the Bible.
As the settlement on Atlantis grew, more nurses were needed, and the woman question grew sharper because Asen men were much reduced by incessant fights with the animals, which is what the Bible calls the lower-race humans.
The temple at Jerusalem, after the Bible, was full of death chambers, and the holy hills in Palestine held bodies of Germanic kings and prophets.
The Bible mentions the court of the dead and the entry in the book of life in Revelation 20, Daniel 7, the gospel of John 5, Isaiah 4, and Luke 10:20.
Devil is the pictorial expression in the Bible for the mixed and the lower race, the polar opposite of the Aryan god-man.
Central American sagas, the sagas of the old culture peoples of the Mediterranean, Homer, the Edda, and the Atlantic chronicle in the Bible, Revelation, agree that Atlantis was visited by terrible natural events, some of which recall the Egyptian plagues.
The Bible calls them false prophets, beasts, and dragons of great power.
American traditions also report plagues of fire and water, of hunger and of wind, like the Bible and like the saga of Pandora's box.
A footnote on this page says that in the secret language of the Bible Michael means Saturn.
Fischer's Weltwende refers the same Bible places to the fall of Phoebus and to the capture of the present moon.
If much older history reports and sagas say the same as the Bible, a chance meeting is not to be assumed.
The Asen queen of the Bible saved herself in the cave at the Urd well, where she lived from the tree of life, Yggdrasil, after Indian saga a fig tree, which escaped the heat of the world fire by the steam of the warm spring.
Why do the traditions of the old culture peoples and the splendid description in the Bible agree so strikingly about the world fire on Atlantis?
The Germanic, Indian, Mexican, Egyptian, Babylonian, and Greek traditions, older by centuries and millennia, cannot have been copied from the Bible.
The only assumption that thickens into certainty is that the Bible places cited are more or less faithful historical traditions of the world-fire catastrophe.
The Bible reports that refer to Atlantis and come from the Atlantic time already use the word iron, so Revelation 19:15 and 12:5.
After Bible reports, pre-Jewish Canaan was already very rich in iron and iron ores.
Perhaps these buildings were works of giant pre-humans, of whom the Bible speaks in agreement with the Aryan holy writings.
After the reports of the Wieland saga, Richter, Götter und Helden, Leipzig, and the corresponding Greek sagas, which agree with the Atlantic reports in the Bible, the art of flight was also known to the Aryan culture bearers on Atlantis, and namely gliding flight.
The settlement lay literally, as the Bible says, in the midst of the sea on the many waters and in the midst of the earth.
The Egyptian priests, supported on their ancient libraries, from which the Bible probably comes in largest part, told him historical facts.
They were the children of God, of the Goths, in the Bible, Genesis 6:1-2, beings of a higher kind.
The fallen Asen daughter Eve had a special punishment after the Bible.
So it is also explained how they came to the ancient reports from Atlantis in the Bible, and to the Bible falsifications.
This strictly organized priest state the Bible calls, in Daniel 2:44, the kingdom God will raise from heaven in the time of such kingdoms.
Their totem was the dragon and the snake, both mentioned in the Bible, in Revelation and in the paradise report.
In Mecklenburg the terror times which the white race, Angelois, angels, the Angles of the Bible, had to endure under the Atlantean Hebrews are still remembered.
There, perhaps, was also the great liberation battle at the birch or the pear tree, of which the Lehnin prophecy tells, under the German king Michael, the archangel of the Bible, who drove the Atlantean Hebrews, with their army signs star, dragon, and snake, out of Germany.
The Bible therefore quite rightly compares Babylon on the waters in the midst of the sea with a great whore.
The biblical tale of the rescue of one family, Noah, is found in all the old sagas, also in the Greek, and so long before the Bible arose.
Section 30, pages 136 to 145, is the economic collapse, and then his story of how the Bible was made in exile.
It is quite strange, he says, that until now no one has taken the trouble to examine more closely the Bible places he has cited.
The saga of the returning Ase Baldur is stamped into the prophecy of a mighty messianic Jewish king ruling the world, and is at present spread in the people, in the interest of Jewish world rule, by the Jewish-led society of the International Earnest Bible Students.
Among the Jewish philosophers of that time the effort appeared to set the Bible in agreement with Greek philosophy.
Further evidence of Bible falsifications the reader finds in Pastor Andersen, Der Deutsche Heiland, Munich 1921, and in Döllinger.
It is understandable that the Catholic church forbids its faithful the study of the Bible, that Pope Pius VII, about 1814, cursed the Bible societies and called them the pest of Christendom, and that the Jesuits at their council at Chiari called the Bible a creeping snake from whose eyes fire sprays.
The falsifications of the Bible, heavily damaging to Aryan and Germanic being, were not to be uncovered.
Section 31, pages 146 to 156, is the literary history of that theft, and the claim that the Bible is an extract of the old Aryan secret books.
From the previous section it already appears that Atlantis and the Bible stand in a very near connection.
The following pages will try to make the connections clear in short strokes and to show the origin of the Bible.
Compare those old Aryan writings with the Bible and one sees, to one's great surprise, that the Bible, apart from falsifications and additions, is nothing else than an extract and a part of those ancient Aryan secret writings, and that it contains a fullness of Aryan Atlantic wisdom.
There the reader finds the secret speech of the Bible explained, dictionaries of the secret speech, and a large literature list.
The church fathers named knew, and the Jewish rabbis know, that the true meaning of the Bible texts is other than the one taught to the people.
Therefore the Jewish philosopher Maimonides recommends strict silence about the true meaning of the Bible.
The Hebrew philosopher Philo says the literal sentences of the Bible are fabulous, and in the allegory we must recognize the truth.
And one expects us to believe much, for example that the measures of Solomon's temple building given in the Bible were fact, while the Jewish Bible falsifier simply copied the measures of the great Cheops pyramid.
The church father Origen expressly grants that much in the Bible is only fable and must be understood symbolically.
The apostle Paul, likewise an initiate, says in Galatians 4:22-31 that some things in the Bible, for example the story of Abraham and his sons, are only a likeness.
The Christian Gnostics, the recognizing, the knowing, also knew the fact of the Bible's secret speech.
Those church fathers also knew well that the real content of the Bible is the same as that of the ancient Aryan writings.
Where does the Bible come from?
John, a Jewish kabbalist declared holy by the Christian church, is a version, a translation and alteration, of the book of Enoch, an apocryphal book not taken into the Bible by the later Christian church, well known to the initiates and the Jewish kabbalists, and the Chaldean copy of a still older Aryan work.
Therefore the book of Enoch was not taken among the biblical books, and the people were forbidden to read the Bible.
For the fact of the Jewish Bible falsifications he gives a few pieces of evidence.
Acts 15:5-11 reports that already in the apostles' time the attempts at Jewish Bible falsification had begun.
The Christianity that was becoming very dangerous to Judaism was to be made harmless by Jewish Bible falsifications, and by Judaizing made a will-less tool of the finance Judaism already mighty in the whole world.
He cites Luther, Von den Juden und ihren Lehren, page 120, and Luther's plea to the Hebraists to clean the holy old Bible of the Jews' dirt.
If the Bible is now interpreted after its real, secret sense and freed of the Jewish falsifications, then it becomes, as the last section but one will prove, a mighty history of the origin of the world and of mankind, a lofty book of Aryan Germanic wisdom and of Aryan Germanic race ethics and race politics, whose god-willed application guarantees the German people, with natural-law necessity, a shining resurrection and future.
Section 32, pages 157 to 165, is the Edda's Baldur read as the Bible's messianic promises, and as one man.
The Bible reports of Baldur in almost the same words.
Bible and Edda here speak of Atlantis and Baldur, for the islands belonging to Atlantis are expressly meant.
In the Bible and the Edda, Baldur will make everything new.
After the preceding facts it is beyond doubt that the sagas of the Edda about Baldur and the so-called messianic prophecies of the Bible have the same historical background, the son of a Germanic Ase, and refer to the same person, plainly a historically most important personality, a Germanic king or king's son.
Not only because the content agrees, but also because the so-called prophetic books were taken by the Jewish Bible and history falsifiers, in the main, from ancient Atlantic Germanic holy books and documents and reworked for their purposes.
The name Jesus is not foreign to the Bible knower.
The name Israel is a collective name for Germanic tribes and was stolen by the Hebrew Bible falsifiers, to let the Hebrews appear as the master people.
Jesus came, after the Bible, from the Germanic tribe Jesse, Esus, of the Asen.
The section's close sets Germanic being and Atlantic papacy opposite each other as two races and two directions: the god-man and the human of the Bible, the holy ones of God and the human animals, the realm of the Aryan Christ and Atlantic heathenism, the Aryan Christian realm of the spirit and the Jewish mammonist worldly realm of the Atlantic papacy, the old Germanic sign of God and the sign of the great beast, snake and dragon.
If one reads the Bible after the explanations of the Christian church fathers and after the secret keys made by the theologians Lagarde and Jörg v.
He cites the Bible commentaries of Philo, Josephus, Origen, Jerome, and Augustine, Lanz-Liebenfels on the Greek and Latin Bible versions, Leipzig 1908 and 1909, and Lagarde, Onomastica sacra, Göttingen 1870, a sort of lexicon of the biblical secret speech, put together from old sources.
The secret of the Bible, hidden in parables and allegories, is in short strokes the following.
That was the fall of the Bible, which brought the god-man original sin, that is hereditary evil and the curse of race mixing.
The greatest crime the Aryans commit, after the Bible, is that they mix sexually with the lower race, strengthen them in their fight, and animalize their own kind by taking in inferior blood.
Again and again the Bible preaches the blessing of pure breeding and ties high promises to it, while it threatens race mixing with heavy punishments.
Redemption he attains, exoterically, by the drink from the Grail cup, the cup of the Lord, Frauja, that is, after the secret speech of the Bible, by race pure-breeding and by taking in divine Aryan blood.
The last riddles of the Bible are solved.
The Bible rests on an Aryan Germanic foundation.
The allegedly prophetic parts of the Bible, the prophets and Revelation, are reports of Atlantis and Baldur and of the history of the Aryans, trimmed for the purposes of Judaism and provided with many additions.
The Bible teems with unheard-of Jewish falsifications.
The Jewish people, originally a despised Indian pariah people, a sort of Gypsy, has by the falsification of the Bible made itself the master people of the earth and us its slaves.
The Bible must not be taken literally.
The church forces us to take the wording of the Bible and the Jewish Bible falsifications and dirt for God's revelation and for truth.
The hidden content of the Bible is a history of the Aryan Germanic race, its high song, and it also shows us the race-ethical, race-hygienic, and race-political conditions for its maintenance and spread.
The Aryans, the Germans, are after the Bible the children of God.
The other races are designated by the Bible as beasts, monsters, and dragons.
The Aryan race is, after the will of the Bible, to root out the lower and mixed races that press it, and to settle the world.
The Bible demands sharp separation of the Aryan race from the lower race, its higher breeding, and thereby its divinizing.
The Bible demands, with natural-law necessity, the differentiation of the kinds, and so also the folk and race thought.
The Jewish Roman church, resting on the Jewish Bible falsifications, is a creation of Judaism for reaching its plans of world rule.
If the clergy refuses to say the truth, the fate will overtake it which Judaism wants to prepare for it through the Bible Bolshevism of the International Earnest Bible Students, whom it pushes.
In the upper classes of all schools, race study, race morals, and race hygiene in the sense of the old Aryan Germanic race laws and of the Bible, and the history of the Aryans, are to be taught.
We must therefore apply the Aryan race laws offered us in the Bible and consciously practice race care and race breeding.
They fear, trembling, the discovery of the Bible falsifications and seek to keep the rule of the Atlantic papacy with all the means of lies and deception.
What the Bible falsified by Jews teaches us is to be our rule and plumb line.
The cleaned Aryan Bible on the heart and the German sword in the hand, we want to destroy the dragons and the beasts and fetch back our stolen inheritance.
Gathering of the remains of the Aryan population in a pan-Germanic union of states, to be raised and continually widened by the sword, after the will of the Aryan Bible.
And so the solution of the Bible riddle will lead to the truth and to a shining rise of the German people.
In the Bible he is called Adam and is said to have been made of earth.
After the submergence of Atlantis, a continent which once existed between Europe and America, where the Atlantic Ocean now lies, those who escaped began to cultivate the vine and make wine, as in the Bible story of Noah.
Religion is one of the aids the leaders give, and there are reasons why the Bible, containing both the Jewish and the Christian religions, should have been given to the West.
That is what is meant where the Bible records that the sons of God married the daughters of men.
The Bible, on this reading, contains the teaching the Western peoples need: the awful example of the Jewish Race in the Old Testament, and the teachings of the Christ in the New, so that they may offer their bodies as a living sacrifice upon the altar of fellowship and love (p.

He has so far made comparatively little reference to the Bible.
He does not intend to vindicate the Bible, in the form commonly known today, as the only true and inspired word of God.
The Bible refers to them as the Spirits of the Elohim.
The Bible agrees with modern science that plants succeeded the mineral.
Their Bible records that the sons of God married the daughters of man, the lower grades of their Atlantean compatriots.
He cheerfully agrees with opponents of the Bible that it is a mere mutilation of the original writings.
He says this cannot be blamed on missionaries, because missionaries did not teach a destruction by fire and a remnant in a cave, though he will find such a legend hidden in the Bible.
In the Bagaveda-Gita, as he takes it from Jacolliot, The Bible in India, the earth was covered with flowers and fruit, and Brahma made Adima and Heva on an island which tradition localizes as Ceylon.
In the Bible a long interval separates the expulsion from paradise and the Deluge of Noah, and in it mankind becomes workers in metals, musicians, and builders of cities.
If the Bible is to be relied on, man was created west of the garden, that is, in America, and there he may first have developed the civilization of which the Illinois traces show a metal-working people with an alphabet and a currency.
The first chapters of the Bible were meant to teach those forces and failed because the Mosaic writings were mistranslated.
Assyrian genii include a bird, Egyptian records include a bird, and the Bible includes a bird.
The Bible, Genesis 2:21-22, the rib, is Ezra's translation of Moses, 800 years later.
That, he says, probably accounts for two creation stories in the early Bible, one from the India line and one from the Atlantis line (p.
His list of sevens, which I keep because several of them are Mu or flood claims: Chaldean, seven days of rainfall that produced the Flood; Hindu, seven days in Vishnu's prophecy of the flood to Satyravata; the Bible, seven days in the prophecy to Noah; Babylonian, seven vases in the sacrifices; Persian, seven horses of the Aryans drawing the chariot of the sun, seven Apris or shapes of flame, seven rays of Agni; Hindu, seven steps of Buddha at birth, and seven Rishi cities; Egyptian, seven days of creation, seven days of the week, seven classes of Egyptians; Greek, seven islands sacred to Proserpine, and the seven-headed Hydra killed by Hercules; Norse, seven families who accompanied the mythical Wotan, founder of the city of Nachan; Hebrew, seven lamps of the ark, seven branches of the candlestick, the seven days' feast, seven years of plenty and seven of famine; Christian, the sevens of the Apocalypse, candlesticks, churches, angels, heads of the beast, seals, trumpets, vials, and plagues; Nahualt, seven caves from which the ancestors emerged; Zuni, the seven cities of Cibola; Uighur, seven sacred cities; Atlantis, the seven great cities; Carian, the seven Antilles; Marquesan, seven people saved from the Flood; the seven Marouts or genii of the winds in Mazdeism; seven rounds of the ladder in the cave of Mirtha, as he spells it; and Mu, seven sacred cities with golden gates (p.
The Bible has the sons of Adam offering burnt sacrifices.
The Bible, he says, mistakes the Sea of Reeds for the Red Sea.
Ezra and his associates wrote the Bible.

He says the earliest place he can find the Deity called God and Lord God is the Bible (pp.

The adepts could walk through fire without being scorched, as related in the Bible and the Popol Vuh.
In Mu the novice learned this book and repeated it as his belief in God and the hereafter, as children are taught their Bibles.
The Bible says man first appeared in the Garden of Eden, and no two authorities agree where that was.
The Bible refers to it in one of the psalms of David, called the Song of Moses, Psalm 90, verse 2 (pp.
Passages stand beside kindred passages in the Bible.
Eight hundred years after the Israelite Exodus, Ezra, with a body of co-workers, collected the tablets and writings connected with the family history and put them into book form, which became the Bible.
The research shows that Moses wrote the first books of the Bible from the temple records brought to Egypt from the motherland by the Naacals, via Burma and India, and that those Egyptian temple records were copies of the Seven Sacred Inspired Writings of Mu.
Moses, in a very abstruse manner, symbolized it in his writings, as we find in the Bible today (p.
A line she quotes from the Bible, "Behold, the man has become as one of us," is, for her, a lesser being speaking to equals, the Elder Races.
In the latter parts of the Bible the same beings become "sons of God" and "prophets." The latter Greeks, she says, realized that their gods were mortals of exceptional powers, and were not always good.
She quotes the sons of God and the daughters of men, and she says that statement, like the others in the Bible, refers specifically to the Near East, which was under the supervision of other peoples.
She cites the Bible for the Elders living in the Earth, and she cites an apocryphal book for the first day on the surface.
As your Bible correctly records (Genesis 64) the Elder Races lived in the Earth, not on it.

Oh, I would say a thing: in the Bible, those are not unidentified aerial phenomena—because they are clearly identified phenomena.
The ones today are unidentified aerial phenomena or UAP, but those in the Bible are clearly identified, are described.
In the documentary Uncovered Beings of the Bible, Wallis describes Ezekiel's flights:
It occurs 44 times in the Hebrew Bible, mostly for war chariots and royal chariots (Strong's H4818).
In the summary of The Governor of the Elohim is Not Who You Think, the three words are grouped together: "Kavod emits light and noise, ruach moves like wind, and merkaba transports, suggesting advanced technology in biblical accounts." The summaries of Flying machines of the Gods and Angels and flying machines in the Bible list merkavah among Biglino's terms for flying vehicles.

The Bible has a word for the foreigner who lives among Israel.
Scripture on this page comes from the World English Bible (WEB), which is in the public domain.
English Bibles translate the word as "stranger", "sojourner" or "foreigner".
The Bible's first story about mixing is not about Israel at all.
In my reading, this is the first time the Bible treats a mixed line as a problem.
After the flood, the Bible tracks one family.
He writes: "Yahweh, the protagonist of the Old Testament, was just the leader of the family of Jacob" (Biglino, Gods of the Bible).
English Bibles translate it as "stranger", "sojourner" or "foreigner" (Strong's H1616).

Mauro Biglino translated seventeen books of the Hebrew Bible for the Catholic publisher Edizioni San Paolo.
In his own words: “Yahweh, the protagonist of the Old Testament, was just the leader of the family of Jacob” (Biglino, Gods of the Bible).
English Bibles usually translate it as “angel”.
The Bible describes the kavod as something people can see:
He also writes that YHWH sometimes arrived on flying machines called “ruach” or “kavod” (Biglino, Gods of the Bible; summary of his kavod argument at Wheel of Heaven).
Uzzah’s death is often cited in this reading (Jason Colavito, “The Electric Ark”; Jewish Bible Quarterly).
That is why some modern Bibles print “Libyans” (Ellicott’s Commentary, 1878).
The Cambridge Bible compares Ezekiel 8:11, where Jaazaniah stands among seventy elders (Cambridge Bible).
The Cambridge Bible reads this menu as a sacrificial meal.
He writes that “Yahweh was constantly afraid that his people would turn to other Elohim” (Biglino, “Why the Bible does not talk about God”).
