Rob Skiba

Defending the Book of Enoch and Explaining the Pre- and Post-Flood Nephilim

He rejects the idea that these were human descendants, emphasizing that the phrase clearly points to angels, as confirmed by early Jewish texts like the Book of Job and Genesis.

Skiba references the Jewish historian Josephus, who wrote about the giants in his works Antiquities of the Jews, comparing them to the Titans of Greek mythology.

He ties ancient Jewish, Greek, and biblical sources together to argue that giants, the Nephilim, played a significant role in early human history.

Ignatius Donnelly

Genesis contains a history of Atlantis

No one but the Jewish high-priest might enter the Holy of Holies.

The Mexican temple, like the Jewish, faced the east.

The Jewish custom of laying the sins of the people upon the head of an animal, and turning him out into the wilderness, had its counterpart among the Mexicans, who, to cure a fever, formed a dog of maize paste and left it by the roadside, saying the first passer-by would carry away the illness.

The Mexicans hung up the heads of their sacrificed enemies; this was also a Jewish custom:

Ignatius Donnelly

The Question of Complexion

For their original, I am ready to believe them to be of the Jewish race--I mean of the stock of the ten tribes--and that for the following reasons: first, in the next place, I find them to be of the like countenance, and their children of so lively a resemblance that a man would think himself in Duke's Place or Berry Street in London when he seeth them.

W. Scott-Elliot

The Story of Atlantis

Compare the Sanscrit "Dyaus" or "Dyaus-pitar," the Greek "Theos" and Zeus, the Latin "Deus" and "Jupiter," the Keltic "Dia" and "Ta," pronounced "Thyah" (seeming to bear affinity to the Egyptian Tau), the Jewish "Jah" or "Yah" and lastly the Mexican "Teo" or "Zeo."

The origin of Nimrod

Ark of Noah

Ezekiel 8

The worship of Crawling things

These creatures are sometimes considered ritually unclean according to Jewish law, particularly in the context of Levitical dietary restrictions.

Mauro Biglino

Elyon meaning “above” or “uppermost

Biglino refers to several authoritative sources to demonstrate the varying interpretations of "Elyon." The Catholic Encyclopedia suggests that "Elyon" indicates a monotheistic tendency, while Jewish scholar Professor Emanuel Tov asserts that "Elyon," "El," and "Yahweh" correspond to three different individuals.

Mauro Biglino

The Laws for Humans

Mauro Biglino presented a video discussing the Noahide laws, which, according to Jewish tradition, were given by God, known as Elohim, to Noah and his descendants.

It says: "Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your Elohim is giving you." He references Jewish scholar Lia Bat Adam, who explains that honoring one's parents means taking care of them, especially in their old age.

Paul Wallis

Pleiadeans in the Bible

Wallis discusses how the narratives of these advanced beings became obscured or altered in Jewish history, particularly under the reigns of Kings Hezekiah and Josiah.

Elyon

Masoretic Text (MT): The traditional Hebrew text of the Jewish Bible, which reads "according to the number of the sons of Israel." This suggests that the number of nations is somehow connected to the descendants of Jacob (Israel), typically interpreted as 12, corresponding to the 12 tribes of Israel.

King Josiah of Judah

These reforms had a lasting impact on Jewish religious identity, reinforcing monotheism and the centrality of the Jerusalem Temple in worship.

His reforms had a lasting impact on Jewish religious identity and the development of monotheism.

His efforts to eliminate idolatry and restore the worship of YHWH had a profound influence on the religious landscape of Judah and the development of Jewish monotheism.

Canaanite Pantheon

Asherah

Her association with Yahweh, though controversial and often suppressed in later religious reforms, provides insight into the syncretic nature of early Israelite worship and the cultural transitions that shaped the Hebrew Bible and later Jewish and Christian traditions.

Impact on Jewish Memory:

Despite reforms, memories of Asherah persisted in Jewish practices and texts.

Paschal Beverly Randolph

Our history – A Shemitic Myth

I am a believer in one God; you have a score or two—French, American, English, African, Jewish, Russian, Scotch—in fact, all sorts of gods; and you degrade the noblest faculties of your souls, and bow down, not to the august Creator, the great Mind of minds, but to a series of conventional gods.

Elijah

Jewish Tradition:

Elijah is a prominent figure in Jewish eschatology and folklore.

Yahwistic Religion and Its Influence on Abrahamic Religions

The establishment of the Library of Alexandria and the intellectual climate of the Hellenistic period facilitated the critical study and compilation of Jewish texts.

The translation of the Hebrew Bible into Greek (the Septuagint) reflects the blending of Jewish and Hellenistic cultures.

The destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE and the subsequent diaspora led to the development of Rabbinic Judaism, which emphasized Torah study, prayer, and the synagogue as central components of Jewish life.

The monotheism, covenantal relationship, and ethical teachings of Yahwistic religion became foundational to Jewish theology and practice.

Jesus of Nazareth, a Jewish teacher, and his early followers were deeply rooted in Yahwistic traditions.

Leviticus

Slavery

The composition of Leviticus likely occurred during or after the Babylonian Exile (6th century BCE), when the Jewish community was seeking to preserve and codify its traditions and laws.

The calculation of the Shemitah year is based on a seven-year agricultural cycle that has been observed historically by Jewish communities.

The current system for determining the Shemitah year is based on the Jewish calendar, which is a lunisolar calendar.

After the Babylonian Exile, the observance of Shemitah continued, though its practice and enforcement varied over time, especially during periods when the Jewish people were not sovereign in their land.

There are various halachic (Jewish legal) mechanisms, such as the "Heter Mechira," which allows land to be symbolically sold to a non-Jew for the duration of the Shemitah year to permit agricultural activities to continue under certain conditions.

The next Shemitah year will begin in the Jewish year 5789, which corresponds to September 2028 in the Gregorian calendar.

In summary, the Sabbath year is observed every seventh year according to the Jewish agricultural cycle, as detailed in Leviticus 25.

This ancient practice continues to be relevant in modern Jewish life, especially in Israel.

As of today, June 7, 2024, the current Jewish year is 5784.

The Jewish calendar, which is lunisolar, started this year on Rosh Hashanah, which in 2023 fell on September 15 and will end on October 2, 2024​ (Chabad)​​ (Chabad)​​ (Time and Date)​.

The Jewish calendar is used to determine dates for religious observances and is also used alongside the Gregorian calendar in Israel for agricultural and civil purposes.

The year count in the Jewish calendar is based on the traditional date of creation, and we are now in the eighth century of the sixth millennium according to this system​ (Time and Date)​.

The concept of "year 0" in the Jewish calendar does not exist in the same way it does in the Gregorian calendar, but we can determine the approximate starting point.

The Jewish calendar starts from the traditional date of creation, which is considered to be 3761 BCE.

American Evidences of Intercourse with Europe or Atlantis

William Penn described Pennsylvania Indians with European-like features and complexions ranging from olive to Roman noses, suggesting Jewish ancestry.

Paul Wallis

A populated universe

In Genesis 3 in the Bible, any Christian or Jewish believer reading that text knows straight away they are not reading the earliest version of the story because the holy name Yahweh shouldn’t be in it.[1:25] The holy name Yahweh wasn’t revealed until ages later to Moses, and this is an event long before Moses.

He’s talking about Yahweh, and his Jewish viewers knew it.
