Tobit and the Angel on “wage”

marzo 12th, 2013

In this partial list of stories about the angels/malakhìms, we have decided to include the Book of Tobit, because it certainly is the least known of the Old Testament.

This text is part of the Christian Bible (the Septuagint and Latin Vulgate), but has not been accepted by the Hebrew canon and is considered apocryphal by Protestants. It has survived only in Greek based on an Aramaic version compiled in Judea around 200 BC and got unfortunately lost.

In 14 chapters it describes the story of the Jewish Tobias and his son Tobit, set in VIII-VII century BC.

We must immediately affirm that this writing is full of incongruences and obvious errors: it blurs the periods of Jews’ being exiled by the Assyrians, confusing with the names of the

Assyrian kings, and distorts geographical distances… It is no coincidence then that only Catholics consider it a book inspired by God, likewise all other texts of the Bible. But, since Catholics consider it inspired by God, we want to quote some of the features describing an “angel” of God, namely the messenger (àgghelos)

Anaqìm, Rephaìm, Emìm, Zamzummìm Part 1

gennaio 29th, 2013

Chapter 13of the book of Numbers, the fourth Old Testament text, narrates that Moses sends some explorers to the promised land.

The people were still in the desert of Paràn, and the conquest of Canaan required careful planning: it was necessary to know its characteristics, if the people who inhabited it were strong or weak, numerous or scarce, with what the defences the cities were provided with, the camps’ location and what type of vegetation there was… In short, even if it was a land promised by “god”, Moses knew that it had to be conquered with weapons, using prudent and well-planned strategies.

God was certainly powerful but not omnipotent, Moses knew it, and was also aware that their goal was to be achieved by counting on their own strength. He therefore sends explorers to acquire the necessary information. After forty days they come back bringing information and local products. They report that the land is actually very attractive, but it is inhabited by strong and aggressive people; some of them even claim that this is an impossible expedition and state (Nm 13:28):

And there we saw the one born from Anàq, too

These explorers make a list of the various people they met, but feel it’s necessary to point out with emphasis that they “also” saw the sons of Anàq, namely the Anaqitis. Why? They clearly explain it by saying that they thoroughly observed the land to conquer (Nm 13:32-33):

Among all the people we saw men of stature and there we saw the Nephilìms, children of Anàq; compared to the Nephilìms, in our eyes, we were like locusts and such we were in their eyes.

Elijah

dicembre 19th, 2012

Elijah’s life and activity is told in the books of Kings (1 Kings 17:1 and 2 Kings 2:25).

His name Eliyahu meant “El my Yahweh“ that is “my God is Yahweh” and in fact worked as a prophet of this Elohìm.

He is considered one of the greatest prophets of the entire Old Testament: born in Tiscbe of Gilead, he carried out his mission during King Ahab’s kingdom (IX century BC).

We recall his successful challenge launched against Baal’s priests/prophets on Mount Caramel, precisely on el-Murahqàh south-east of the mountain range: along the stream Qison, Elijah killed 450 prophets.

He has also been attributed to some extraordinary facts:

• the proliferation of oil and flour and the resurrection of the son of the widow of Sarefta near Sidon (1 Kings

Thoth and the Judeo-Christian thought

ottobre 15th, 2012

We now analyze the figure of Thoth and some other curious parallels between the wisdom he passed on and the origins of Jewish and Christian religions.

According to Egyptians, this God knew all mysteries and wisdom and could dispense them to few initiates he would choose; he himself wrote this secret knowledge in 36,535 rolls, hidden underground for the benefit of future generations.

Thoth was also often depicted in the Hall of Judgement in the act of judging the souls that appeared before him after death.

This God, then, was legislator and judge and, accordingly, in the Egyptian Book of the Dead, there is a formula that all souls had to speak before him in the Last Judgement. In that decisive moment the dead’s souls, besides other things, had to say:

I have not despised God, I have not killed, I have not committed fornication, I have not robbed [...] I have not violated someone else’s woman, I have not cursed, I have not bared false witness…

How can we fail to immediately grasp the almost literal correspondence between this confession and some of the commandments God gave Moses on the Mount Sinai (yet remembering that the Egyptian Book of the Dead is about 2,000 years older than the Bible…)!

A brief “criticism”…

ottobre 1st, 2012

All these events find an explanation in this particular interpretation of the Sumerian myth and biblical Genesis. Like it or not, convenient or inconvenient it may be, Sumerians and the Old Testament seem to be really close.

The Bible seems to tell the same story recast in the light of a non-peculiar monotheistic vision that would have developed only in later centuries. Of the original story they maintained the plurality of Elohìms and the concrete matter used by these “gods” to create man “with” their image and resemblance.

The spiritual God, transcendent and unique, then, did not belong to the experience of the biblical authors who, in fact, have told us a very concrete story, using, of course, the cultural means they had at that time.

And no Church has the right to distort the history in order to build a consciousness controlling system based on perspectives that are distant from those texts defined as sacred that, instead, have been purposely reinterpreted by the ruling power.

Not surprisingly, a personal reading of such texts has been discouraged for centuries when not explicitly forbidden…

“The book that will forever change our ideas about the Bible”

gennaio 16th, 2012

At last “The book that will forever change our ideas about the Bible” is also available in English!

You can buy the ebook in the “the book” section.

“The book that will forever change our ideas about the Bible”, Uno Editori,  is the first Mauro Biglino’s book translated in english.

This book follows a series of footsteps of the Old Testament, offering the true meaning as introduces it with the literal translation: the alien creation of man; the truth around the ten commandments; the visions of the UFOs from the prophets as themselves have told us; the passage in which the Old Testament affirms in puzzling way that God dies as all men do; the figures of the angels stripped of all that has been invented over the centuries about them; the probable source of inspiration of the Gospel of John.

All with the Hebrew text and the literal translation clearly brought word for word with an incredibly simple system, comprehensible for every type of reader.

Why this title was chosen? Because the literal translations of ancient Jews help us to discover what they didn’t know.

* The Bible clearly says that God dies as all men die.

* The Bible explains that we have been created with DNA of our creators

* The Bible tells us that our creators traveled in flying objects

* the Bible quotes a direct relationship between the UFOs and Sumer, the earth as the keepers of the flying objects

* The Glory of God was in reality… a UFO

*The bible refers to giants and tells where to find their legacy

*The Angels mentioned in the Old Testament, where perceived as spiritual beings, however do not exist.

* The Ten Commandments written on the stone were not those that have been reported.

* the evangelist John has drawn his mystical doctrines from the Hellenistic literature of his time

* and other, as the fact that the Church admits that the Old Testament knew of the aliens .

For this, what believed to know about the Bible has changed.
