Exodus Insights

The IJ y-dna mutations occurred around 1250 BC which were experienced by the Tribes of Gad, Asher, Dan Naphtali and those Levites and Aaronites living in the northern part of Israel among these Israelites as well as in the southern region of Judah. The other Israelites including the Jews of Jerusalem and the rest of Judah received the mutation K9. Why this happened is unclear at this stage but it may have something to do with the maternal lineages that caused the Tribes to mutate in their y-dna differently. Those who had matrilineal input from woman descended from Bilhah and Zilpah received the IJ mutations and those who had input from matrilineal dna from the descendants of Dinah and Asenath received the mutations associated with K and K9 y-dna.

Many of the academia studies and proposals for understanding the DNA evidence in regard to the Kohenim and the genetic haplogroups in general is fraught with pitfalls. Basing the dating of haplogroups on y-full and other sources which use an evolutionary based dating method makes the origins of the haplogroups too ancient. 

Thus, if J1 is truly descended from Aaron then all Israelites and Arabs and other Middle Eastern nations descended from Abraham must also be J1 or whatever haplogroup one believes is that of the Kohenim, if one accepts the evolutionary and uniformitarian dating methods. It is only when one adheres to a Biblical timescale for genetics which holds to mankind's genome reflecting our descent from eight individuals or four couples that survived a world wide and solar system wide catastrophe around 4000 years ago, that one can read the genetics more accurately. 

This Biblical framework acknowledges that until around 450-420 BC most mutations occurred across a group when there were catastrophes, weather extremes and other environmental factors. After 400 BC most mutations occurred in individuals who then passed the nova mutation or mutations to their biological descendants. 

Since the Fall, man and all biological life, has been de-evolving more than evolving and as genetic information is lost then man and the other biological creatures become less adaptable and less responsive to environmental and climatic changes. However, the de-evolution can be reversed and just as viruses can mutate and jump across species so favourable DNA traits may be able to travel across biological species and restore human adaptability and longevity.

It would seem that man, like today, has been tempted to help or interfere with this process by genetic manipulation over history. The extinction of two of the four maternal lineages of man to survive the Deluge - the so-called Neanderthal (the maternal line descendants of Japheth's wife) and the Denisovan (the maternal lineage of the wife of Ham) may be due to the cultures being the most technologically advanced. The maternal lineages of Shem and Noah's wives have managed to survive due to a more ethical approach to civilisation and technology. 

Nevertheless, the maternal descendants of Noah's wife mainly only survive among Africans. Even though the paternal lines of Ham, Shem and Japheth still survive, it would seem that paternal lines of other sons born to Noah after the Deluge have not survived and that the descendants of Ham (A and B y-dna) are the least populous. This followed by the sons of Japheth of D, E, C1, C2, G and H y-dna. Haplogroup CF y-dna (after 1470 BC) and F y-dna (after 1350 BC) originally included some of Japheth and the Shemites. It is possible that F1, F2 and F3 represent the descendants of certain Shemite peoples (after 1350 BC) whereas IJK y-dna represents the descendants of Eber or Heber who received these IJK mutation markers around 1309 BC after the time of the events of the Exodus from Egypt in 1350 BC.

In 2015 I was listening to a talk by a leading evolutionary biologist who was criticising those who were misusing genetics by creating stories of history and movements of peoples based on a faulty understanding of genetic evidence that have no basis in recorded accounts and archeology. This scientist commented that “story telling” needs to be “story tested” by science. While agreeing with him on many points, I was rather amused that he did not follow his own advice as he interprets genetics within the greatest fanciful story of our time - Darwinian Evolution.

Applying the evolutionary paradigm on to the evidences of genetics has totally distorted that evidence and led to many of these ridiculous theories. The imagined and unscientific evolutionary understanding of human genetic mutation rates is at odds with the mutation rates based on the germ-line rate, that is actually observed in families. Even with the germline rate, others extrapolate from them false dating methodologies by assuming that the rate is constant throughout history and across haplogroups. It is not. The whole evolutionary based myth of Ice Age refuges, found in genetic literature until recently, led to many of these stories, which became more and more untenable, even to the evolutionary educated scholars, as further research in the field of genetics occurred.

Some genetic scientists told us that that the Gaelic population of the British Isles came from Spain 10,000 years ago from one of these Ice Age refuges. This contradicted the writings of the historians and archaeologists who stated that the Milesian Gaels came to Ireland around 300-200 BC. In the 1950’s when Velikovsky was writing the evolutionary science of the day claimed that the last Ice Age had ended about fifteen million years ago. Velikovsky challenged this with his own drastically shortened date of 1500 BC or 3,500 years ago, at the time of the events of the Exodus, as recorded in the Bible. 

Since then, the Evolutionary scientists have also shortened their date for the end of this so-called last Ice Age to between 20,000-10,000 years ago, depending on the scientist. My own date for the sudden end of the last Ice Age is 1350 BC, which is my date for the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt during cataclysmic events. Elsewhere I have described the history and movements of the Milesian Gaelic peoples in greater detail. Today, they are the core population of the British Isles belonging to the R1b L21 y-dna haplogroup.  

The majority of the Tribe of Ephraim belongs to the Z283 y-dna clans of R1a which entered Europe as three different groups. The clan of Beredi of Z280 y-dna are associated with the name Rus which may come from the Hebrew word Rosh for Head or Prince. Beredi is their original clan name which developed into Peradi, Parada, Parata, Barata, Paratan or Parthia and Parthian. They left Paradan where they had established a kingdom after their defeat by the Romans and then Sassanids in the area of Pakistan and Afghanistan and they moved north through Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan into the area that would be named Russia after their leader the Rosh or Ruling Prince. Some legends refer to their leader as Perdun. These Z280 y-dna Ephraimites are known also as the Balto-Slavic peoples. The emblem of Rus is the Parthian Bear. They are also called the Red Slavs due to their complexion and dirty blonde hair.

Besides the three major clans of Ephraim of Parthian origin there are other clans descended from Ephraim such as the ones that were involved in Joseph's interstellar project (they were like most of the Israelites of that time IJK y-dna), whose descendants are known as SRY1532.2* or YP4141 (R1a2). The group that settled in Canaan when the others were enslaved in Egypt descendants were of YP1272 y-dna. YP1051 are the descendants of an Ephraimite clan that did not take part in the Exodus but may have been present in the Egyptian colonies in Europe.   

Around 3,500 years ago there was a nuclear winter in the days of Joseph that ushered in the Ice Age during the time Evolutionists call the Pleistocene. At the end of the Pleistocene were the events of the Exodus around 3,350 years ago which began the so-called Holocene period, rather than 11,000 years ago as proposed by the Evolutionists. In the Triassic Period the climate was mostly hot and dry which dried up the earth after the great flood and during the Jurassic-Cretaceous-Paleocene-Eocene period the climate became warm and humid with the growth of tropical jungles.

The Uniformitarians also speak about three kiloyear events during the Holocene period. However the so-called 8.2 Kiloyear events is actually the events of the Tower of Babel Cataclysm around 1850 BC, the so-called 5.9 Kiloyear event was the 1654 BC Sodom Cataclysm and the so-called 4.2 kiloyear event was the 1513 BC Joseph Cataclysm. The Ice Age is also called the Middle Bronze Cold period which ended with the Cataclysmic events of the Exodus in 1350 BC. Just as Velikovsky perceived a repeated shadowing in the historic events of Egypt by Egyptologists, so I see this shadowing in the interpretations of the Uniformitarians and Climatologists.

From 1350 BC until 968 BC is the so-called Bronze Age optimum. In this period England had a warm tropical climate in which animals like rhinoceroses, hippopotamuses and lions (a third bigger than African lions today) roamed grass savannas. Then in 968 BC with the Atlantis Cataclysm the so-called Iron Age Cold period began and lasted to around 300 BC. During this Iron Age Cold period a number of Cataclysmic events occurred and the coldest time during this period was around 450 BC. In the period from 600-400 BC there were a number of group mutations among humans. From 300 BC until about 535 AD was the Roman Warm Period. Though after 400 AD the weather started to cool, cataclysmic events occurred around 535-540 leading to a mini Ice Age.

The Triassic period is from 2006-1850 BC. The Jurassic-Cretaceous-Paleocene-Eocene period is from 1850-1654 BC. The Neogene period from 1654-1513 BC. The Ice Age or Pleistocene is the period from 1513-1350 BC. I have in the past thought the Flood date was around 2400 BC but now accept the 2005 BC date. In fact, the 2005 BC date is closer to the dates of 2184 or 2105 BC for the flood that some believe, which are based on the traditional Jewish dating system in Seder Olam. In this scenario the 430 years in Egypt becomes the 430 or 432 years from the Birth of Terah until the Exodus or the 430 years from when Abraham came out of hiding in the Milk Cave (this cave was either the one near Bethlehem or one near Aleppo) and was returned to Uruk-Shadim and his family until the Entry of the Israelites into the promised Land. 

The year of the Creation of Adam was 4006 BC in the present Calendar based on 365.25 days in the Year. The date of 5199 before the Birth of Christ (thus 5207 BC) around 8 BC is based on a calendar of 281 days in the year which was the length of the year before the Exodus. 4058 years before the birth of Christ based on a 360 day year gives us 4063 BC. 4013 years based on a 364 day calendar is 4018 BC. Thus using the different calenders the years 4006, 5207, 4063 and 4018 BC are all the same year. The solar year was 364 days before the Flood with the Calendar being 13 months of 28 days. After the Flood there was a solar year of 390 days with a calendar of 13 months with 30 days. 

After the Tower of Babel the solar year was 355 days with a 10 month Calendar of 30 days. After Sodom's destruction there was a solar year of 281 days with a calendar of 10 months of 28 days with a leap day between years. After the Events of Joseph's time the solar year was 320 days.  After the Exodus there was a solar calendar of 304 or 305 days with a 10 month calendar of 30 days with a leap day every 2 or 3 years. In the days of Joshua the solar year was 360 days with a calendar of 12 months of 30 days.Throughout Egyptian history there were recorded at least three calendars of 320 days, 360 days and 365 days.

I hold according to my chronology, which dates the Global Flood of Noah to 2006-5 BC, that the IJK mutations occurred among the descendants of Heber or Eber in or around 1309 BC after the 120 year Ice Age that ended with the Exodus from Egypt in 1350 BC. Thus when Moses and Aaron were born around 1430 BC they belonged to the CF y-dna which is ancestral to IJK haplogroup. The mutations for IJ and K occurred at the time of the sinking of Atlantis among the IJK Heberi in 968 BC. 

The R1b descendants of Moses (FC or CF y-dna) who remained in Africa received a mutation that his older brother Aaron's descendants didn't, that we call V88 y-dna. Both Moses' sons by his white Midianite wife Zipporah and his Black Cushite wife inherited V88. However his white son or sons received the mutation of M18 y-dna whereas his black sons didn't and they received their own unique marker Y7777 y-dna. Of course when I say son or sons I mean genetic sons rather than his immediate son or sons. His black sons had been conceived in Ethiopia whereas his white sons were conceived in Midian in Arabia. 

The other R1b y-dna Israelites descended from Jacob and Leah, whose ancestors left  Egypt, received mutation L388 (after 968 BC) as a sign of their ancestors having gone through the events of the Exodus. In a sense all those men who have L388 y-dna today as one of their markers know that their direct male ancestor was in Egypt during the Exodus in the 14th century BC. In the same way Joseph's R1a descendants that were in Egypt had the SRY1532.2 (received after 968 BC) y-dna marker of R1a ydna.

The Zebulonite clans of Western Europe received their distinct U106 y-dna marker around 500 BC, as did those clans of Issachar who had moved into the Russian Steppes and their marker was DF100/S1194. These clans of Issachar settled in the Pomerania area of Europe and were known as the Seubi. It would seem that the period around 650-350 BC was a time of cataclysm that led to many genetic changes in rapid succession to whole groups of people as it had at the time of the Exodus and in the time of Abraham and the Patriarchs of the Hebrews as well as at the time of the fall of the Tower of Babel.

Another interesting development is the claim by some genetic researchers that the original home of R1b is in Europe as the oldest R1b found in Europe is a teenage boy in Northern Italy at the site known as Villabruna. He belongs to R1b1a (L754) y-dna haplogroup. This haplogroup originated after the sinking of Atlantis and was the marker of the Israelites who belong to the R1b branch of the Leahite tribes. This boy may have belonged to a group of Israelites descended from a slave who left or escaped Egypt before the Exodus and moved north into Europe or he may have been part of an early group of Israelites who moved into Europe in the time of the later Judges or the days of the Kings. 

The Villabuna site is considered to be Epigravettian which is an extension of the Gravettian culture and existed at the same time as the Solutean culture according to some scholars. Instead of his skeleton being 14,000 years old it is more likely less than 3,000 years old. It would seem that this branch of R1b L754 has now become extinct. It is unlikely that any ancient remains can be tested for y-dna that is older than 4,000 years old. 

Further revision of the datings of the ancient world also need to be taken into account. The date usually given for the destruction of the First Temple of Solomon today is 586 BC whereas Jewish sources say 422-5 BC - in fact I believe it is around 460-5 BC. Solomon lived in the 9th century BC not the tenth. The First Temple was built around the 870 BC. I believe the datings of the Exodus in the 13th dynasty, Solomon in the 18th dynasty and the time of the Babylonian Exile in the 19th dynasty by Velikovsky to be basically correct. 

However, I believe Velikovsky's dates have to be revised down as he accepted the 586 BC dating of the Destruction of the the First Temple. I believe that originally Jewish authorities dated the Temple to around 460 BC but later adjusted it by 40 years so that the 490 years ended at the destruction of the Second Temple rather than the crucifixion of Jesus. Thus Rameses II lived in the 5th century BC. 

Poseidon and Atlas is partly a memory of Zebulon and his huge son Elon (the Oak Tree) and secondly they are a memory of these later namesake founders of the Atlantean Dual Monarchy from the Tribe of Zebulon. They were descendants of Prince Eliab of Zebulon who was a son of Prince Elon (Helon) who were from the time of the Exodus from Egypt. The Atlanteans who were at war with the Israelites were the E1b ydna Atlanteans from the southern kingdom of Creito. They had jurisdiction over the lands bordering the Mediterranean Sea. 

The Amu-Hyksos of E y-dna had left their kingdom of Eridu in Central Australia in 1350 BC under their great Martian (Eridu) leader Amalek (a title of the War Leader of Eridu) at the time when their great space port was destroyed by advanced Martian weaponry. This caused the creation of the great shallow inland Sea (Rhodud) in Australia. This also led to the worldwide cataclysmic events of the Exodus.   

E-M96 (E y-dna): 1430 BC (Group mutation) Japhethic Sons of Javan and Tiras and the Israelite Clans of Mushi of Levi and Hushi of Dan at the time of the Ice Age.The Ice Age was 120 years from 1470 BC to 1350 BC. DE y-dna occurred at the beginning of this Ice Age in 1470 BC due to a cataclysmic event regarding the planet Venus. They had received the DE y-dna mutations at the beginning of the Ice Age in 1470 BC along with the other Japhethite Tribes of Tubal, Meshech and Magog.

It would also seem that the Egyptologists, who traditionally date the beginning of Dynastic history about 3100 BC, exaggerate Egyptian history as reconstructed by Manetho by a factor of 1.3. However, they do not divide this period equally as they follow Ptolemy of Mendes dating of 1100 years for the first period. They then follow Manetho’s 500 years for the next three periods. 

My own reconstruction  would have the first period of Rameses 1 to Ptolemy I as a 200 year period and before this a 450 year period until around the time of the Prophet Samuel and King Saul in Israel, then a 400 year period of the Hyksos (Amu) Kings to the time of the Exodus in 1350 BC and before an earlier 170 year period bringing us to the time of Joseph in Egypt and then a 140 year period of the 2nd Dynasty until the time of the Destruction of Sodom and concluding with another 190 year period (the time of the first Dynasty) at the time of the Tower of Babel, after which the Dynastic history of Egypt begins.

Some modern scholars have called Herodotus, who the ancient Greeks called the ‘Father of History’, the ‘Father of Lies’, as his histories do not fit with their modernist and evolutionary chronologies. I would say that the title ‘Father of Lies’ title, fits more the Egyptian priest Manetho and /or Ptolemy of Mendes, whose reconstructions of Egyptian history added with the distortions of the 19th century and 20th century Egyptologists, have not only distorted the timeline of Egyptian events of history, but of all those areas who depend on the chronology of the Egyptologists, for the dating of much of Middle Eastern and Southern European histories and chronologies. 

According to Emmerich all the great monuments of Ancient Egypt did not exist until the time when the Israelites were in Egypt. She makes an exception for a huge Pyramid stone structure (which was totally destroyed) that was built by the evil Queen-Empress of Babylon and Sumer, Semiramis (b.1820 BC), a granddaughter of Nimrod (aka Nebrod or Amraphel) the King of Eridu and Lebabon (Babel), in the early part of the 1st Dynasty of Egypt. 

When ancient history is corrected with a more accurate timeline then Herodotus’ accounts are found very reliable. I have found this again and again, with accounts of history and travel, that the modernists have dismissed as unreliable, to be very reliable when understood in their right historical context.

According to this scenario the Flood occurred in 2005 BC (in our calendar) and the events of the Tower of Babel and the Splitting of the Continents in 1850 BC. It was after this around 1826 BC that Menes or Narmer united the four major regions of Egypt. It was in this period between 1826-1513 BC that the Hebrew Patriarchs and people of Israel interacted with Egypt as recorded in Genesis. 

Moses’ son Amenemhet IV would be the Vizier of Montuhotep IV of Thebes before he succeeded his mother. On the death of Sensuret III in 1388 Mereret became the Regent or female Pharaoh as Sobekneferu. Amenemhet IV succeeded his grandmother. Many have in recent years realised that the Pharaoh of the Exodus must be from the 13th Dynasty as first proposed by Velikovsky. 

Some claim that Dudimose or Dudumose (Tutimaos/Thothmose) was the Pharaoh of the Exodus. In fact this was the name of Moses who was also as a general called Mer-meshoi and then as co-Pharaoh Amenemhet III (actually II). Neferhotep usurped the throne from Sobekhotep II (III) and he was succeeded by his brother Sobekhotep IV. 

Most of the 13th Dynasty Pharaohs were contemporary with the 12th Dynasty and it is the 13th Dynasty Pharaoh Sobekhotep IV Khaneferre who is the Pharaoh of the Exodus. It is said that he married one of the Princesses descended from Senusret III. The Exodus occurred around 1350 BC. The Israelites entered the Promised Land around 1310 BC.

Originally before the disasters of the Exodus in 1350 BC, it was possible to travel to Punt (Australia) by land. During the reign of the Josephite Dynasty of Thebes (Sheba) the land came under Egyptian rule. However, the Ancient Ethiopian Book of "The Conflict of Adam and Eve" tells us that Sheba was ruled by a long line of 60 Queens until the time of Solomon. This line of Queens began with Milkam or Milka the first High Queen of Eridu (Rhoda/ Ares/ Mars/ Marutz) whose mother was the Prophetess Yiskah the Priestess of the Rose (Shoshan). The Hebrew word for Queen is Malcah that derives from this word. 

Velikovsky mentions that the population of the Land of Punt (which we link to Mu) was Caucasian (Mu/ Milesians / Meshwesh) with also black people (Kushites). Ancient sources link this area of Ophir with Reu the ancestor of Abraham from which the name of Pa Reu (Pharaoh) or House or Soul of Reu developed. In the time of Joseph (b.1550 d.1440), the Ice Age hit the northern hemisphere and drove the population south back into the Lands of Mu. The Ice Age hit about 535 years after the Flood around 1470 BC possibly due to the cooling of the Oceans and celestial events involving Venus and Wormwood (Nibiru) and reached its maximum over a 120-year period when the human population who had moved north between 1850- 1513 BC, now headed south again.

There was already an established advanced civilisation in the southern lands (Sundaland) and it was from this Eastern homeland known as Sephar, a mountainous region, that the Kushites and some of the Hebrews first settled in Mesapotamia. This mountainous region of Sephar was in Sundaland or ancient Indonesia probably in the area of western Java and southern Sumatra. A triangle of three ancient pyramids are found in this region of West Java- Gunung Padang, Gunung Lalakon and Mount Salak. At the Gunung Padang site an ancient electrical device was found demonstrating that these ancients had electricity in this period between 2005-1850 BC. The evolutionists date these remains anywhere from 22,000 -10,000 years ago.

The Ice Age in Europe continued until about 1500 BC according to Velikovsky (1350 by my dating scheme). Punt (Australia) is also the original homeland of the ancient Phoenicians and Hebrews. During the time of the Josephite Dynasties of Egypt many of the Israelites resettled in the southern lands of Mu under the leadership of the Zerah-Judaites and the Manasseh and Ephraim Josephites before the Exodus. The Josephite Theban Royal family, the Phoenician Hiramites and the Davidic Kings re-established contact with Mu (Indonesia and Australia).

When we read of the Ships of Dan in the time of the Judges, these are mostly likely the ships of the E1b-L19 Danites and are the first group of Danites in Europe. The Serpent and the Horse are the emblems of the Tribe of Dan. The E1b Danites can be called the Serpentine (Nahushi) Dani and the I2 Danites the Equine (Susi) Danites. The Nahushi Dani have two branches E-L19 and E-281. The E1b Nahushi descend from Dan's son Hushim and the I2 Susi or Shuhami from his son or grandson Shuham. At the time of the Exodus the Nahushi were E1b1 (P2) and the Susi were mainly IJ with a group who were P y-dna (P* and later P2 y-dna). I2a1 and I2c were from the Susi Danites. 

It is possible that genetically modified humans may still live on the planets and moons of our solar system. Others may have gone beyond our solar system in ancient times with space craft that is much more advanced than our present technology. Mercury has features similar to both earth and the moon but has been the least studied by scientists. 

Scientists have admitted in recent years that Mars, the Moon and Mercury have water or water ice and even that Venus has ancient seas that are still evaporating and that Pluto may even have an underground ocean along with a number of other moons. Velikovsky believed that Venus also was in another location until the time of the Exodus from Egypt. 

The mutations that distinguish IJ  and K y-dna may have something to do with their maternal clans, which cause some to receive the mutations for IJ and others the mutations for K.  It would seem that those Israelites who were IJ y-dna mainly had the maternal clans associated with M mt-dna and U mt dna (their descendants were K1 mt-dna). It seems that those Israelites who belong to IJ y-dna were allied with the southern Atlanteans, whereas those who were K y-dna were allied with the northern Atlanteans. Thus the separation of IJ and K may not have occurred at the Exodus but sometimes between 1310-968 BC but most likely in 968 BC itself. The IJK mutations occurred at the time of the Sun Miracle around 1309-1290 BC.

C, F, D, E y-dna: 1350 BC Time of the Exodus and the Second Encounter with Venus. The Hushi Clan of Dan and the Mushi Clan of Levi were then living in the area of Greece with the Javani who received the mutations for E. The Yafeti who were in northern Europe or Turkey received the C y-dna (sons of Gomer) mutations. The Yafeti in the far East in China received the D y-dna mutations. Those Yafeti and Shemi who were in Egypt and the Middle East region received the F y-dna mutations. The first part of the Ice Age 1513-1470 we can call the pre-Glacial period and when Venus dumped its water on the northern hemisphere we had the Glacial Period from 1470-1350 BC. The catastrophic events were caused by an inter-planetary war between the Daughters of Zedek or the Venusians and the Sons of Eridu (Rhoda) or the Martians.

Velikovsky's date of 1500 BC for the end of the Ice Age correlates with the end of the so-called Middle Kingdom of Egypt and the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. Thus all the European cultures post Ice Age must have existed post 1500 BC rather than 15,000 years ago. In fact, in the days of Velikovsky scientists dated the end of the Ice Age to 15,000,000 years before the present. 

I date the Exodus around 1350 BC and thus the true end of the Ice Age in Europe and the cultures mentioned by archaeologists must be dated within this lower time scale. The Battle of Troy occurred around 690 BC and the destruction of the Jewish Temple of Solomon around 460 BC. The Habiru Milesians left Egypt during the reign of Ramses VI (Nectanebo II) around 330 BC. The Godoli Milesians left Egypt and Libya under Bile's future wife Princess Tia at the end of the reign of Rameses X around 295 BC when Ptolemy I became the first Macedonian Pharaoh of Egypt.

The dating of Minoan civilisation is usually divided into Early, Middle and late Minoan. The dating methodology used here is based on many of the insights of Velikovsky. Early Minoan being the period after 1350 BC (uniformitarian geology date 360,000 years ago) and eruptions of Thera (known as the Upper Scoriae or Skaros eruptions) and the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt until the end of Early Minoan with another cataclysmic event that probably saw another eruption of Thera around 968 BC with the sinking of Atlantis in the Atlantic Ocean. This eruption of Thera is probably known to scientists as the Cape Riva eruption (dated by uniformitarian geologists to about 180,000 years ago). Before 1513 BC (uniformitarian geology date of 5 million years ago) Thera or Santorini was part of the Cyclade or Aegia land mass, so the history of volcano eruption when it was an island began after that.

Some scholars try to work out the date of past events with astronomical projections into the past. As Velikovsky proposed, these dates would be drastically affected due to the cataclysmic events that moved the earth and thus changed how the heavens would be observed from earth. At the present time Polaris is the North or Pole Star in the Ursa Minor constellation. 

However, around 680 BC due to close encounters with Mars the earth "jumped" ahead so that the north Pole was pointing towards Kochab heading to Polaris. However within this period in the Roman Warm period (387 BC - 540AD) the Poles were in different positions and so did not point to those stars again until after 540 AD. The north star between 968-680 BC was in the Draco constellation after having "jumped" there from Hercules constellation. The North Pole was pointed to Hercules in the period between 1350-968 BC and had jumped there in 1350 BC at the time of the Exodus from Egypt and the end of the 120 year Ice Age. 

It was in this period between 1350-968 BC that Gobekli Tepe was built with its carvings (on Pillar 43) telling the tale of when Venus first passed by earth and caused the devastating events of 1470 BC that began the Ice Age. The North Pole "jumped" in 1470 BC from pointing to the Cygnus constellation to the Lyra constellation (Vega) which is symbolised by a vulture or eagle with a harp. Some scientists call this the Younger Dryas Impact. 

Those who don't take into account the cataclysmic events that has caused these "jumps" as proposed by Velikovsky, date this event of 1470 BC to about 10,800 BC. This is also the period of the Pyramid Project of Ancient Egypt in the reign of Joseph as the Viceroy and Chief Architect of Egypt (r.1520-1440 BC). 

A series of cataclysmic events occurred after the universal Deluge which caused de nova mutations in groups of people rather than just individuals. Here is a list of these cataclysmic events.

2006-5 BC Noah's Flood

1850 BC Destruction of the Tower of Babel

1654 BC Destruction of the Cities of the Plain

1513-06 BC Famine of Joseph and Nuclear Winter

1470 BC First approach of Venus and the Start of the Ice Age

1350 BC Exodus and second approach of Venus (E-M96, F-M89) the sons of Heber and the sons of Madai and Japheth all received PF1329 mutation but only the sons of the Madaite Clans of Zeelo and Achon received the PF3494 along with the sons of Heber and Shem. It is only the sons of Heber and Shem that received the L15 mutation.

The Milesian Libyan Princes were also called Meshwesh and their leader was known as the Great Chief of Ma (or Mu). The name of Mu is connected to the Moon and another name used for these people was Libu which is the origin for the name Libya but actually refers to the Moon which is Lebanah in Hebrew. These Milesian Princes are a branch of the Milesian Davidic House of Nathan that went South to Mu (the Southern continent). Herodotus states that they partly descended from Trojan (Rhodan) refugees. The Trojans are paternally descended from the Tribe of Reuben (R1b-U152) and from the House of Zerah-Judah (R1b-M73) through Darda (or Dardanus).

The Milesian Princes were descended from a series of Viziers of Egypt including Heman (Hemon) the architect of the Great Pyramid belonging to the Israelite House of Zerah-Judah. Some of them were the founders of Troy, Thebes, Athens, Miletus and Messina. One branch became the Royal governors or Great Chief (Nasi / Nasu) of the Egyptian-Israelite colonies in Mu [the Southern continent also known as Rhoda (Ares/ Mars]). In the time of Solomon a branch of the Davidic House of Nathan would move to Rhoda (Mu) and intermarry with the House of Zerah-Judah and the High-Queens or High-Priestesses of Mu of the House of Dinah.

It is possible that the Israelites crossed the Red Sea at the Straits of Tiran and then turned south towards Jabal Sawda (and Jabal Nabi Shuayb and Jabal Tiyal), rather than north towards Jabal al-Lawz. Muslim tradition places the Midianites in the region of Jabal Nabi Shuayb. The tradition states that these Midianites were east of Mt Sinai to whom the prophet Shuayb was sent. Thus, the mountain today called Jabal Nabi Shuayb may have been the original Mt Sinai. Druze and Muslim traditions associate the prophet Shayayb with Jethro or Reuel the priest of Midian the father-in-law of Moses. The city of Sana'a is nearby (40 kilometres) to the mountain and may be a memory of the name Sinai and the wilderness of Sinai.

Was Jabal Sawda the mountain of Rephidim on which Moses stood when the Amalekites attacked the Israelites? Velikovsky identified the Land of the Amalekites with the Hejaz area (Mecca) of Arabia which is north of Jabal Sawda which was in the border area of Amalek and Midian territories. At the time of the Destruction of the Exodus the Amu or Amalekites fled from Aram-Tehama (Mauritia) and the lands of the Indian Ocean to their colonies in Saudi Arabia to the Hejaz area and they eventually entered Egypt as the Amu or Hyksos. Arabia had once been a fertile land which was destroyed during the time of the Exodus especially in the eastern side. The western side was less damaged where the Amalekites settled and clashed with the Israelites. They had originated in ancient Australia and Mars.

If we look at Deuteronomy 33: 2-3 and Habakkuk 3:3 we see that Mt Sinai and its surrounds are in Arabia inclining to the south not the Sinai Peninsula. In fact Habakkak 3:3 clearly states that Sinai is in Yemen (Teman). The area of Paran is north of Yemen in the area known as the Hejaz and Seir is north of that. Thus we see the Presence of the Living Torah blazes forth from Mt Sinai and Teman in the far south of Arabia shining northwards towards the Holy  Land.  

Habakkuk 3:3:

 "God came from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah His glory covered the heavens, and His praise filled the earth."

There is further confirmation that Mt Sinai was in Yemen from the writings of the mystic Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich who writes about some early Christians who were from Arabia Felix and that one of them called Sulei lived in a cave on Mt Sinai for 7 years. Arabia Felix is located in modern Yemen. Eusebius also states that Mt Sinai is found in Arabia in the area that was formerly the Land of Midian which was south of Arabia Deserta. Josephus states also that this Land of Midian and Mt Sinai was in Arabia Felix. Eusebius states Horeb is: 

 "...the mountain of God in the land of Madiam. It lies beside Mount Sinai beyond Arabia in the Desert..."

It would seem the Eusebius is saying that Mt Horeb and Mt Sinai are two mountains close to each other in the ancient Land of Midian which was south of Arabia Deserta. Jewish tradition states they are two names for the one mountain. The area may have been known as Sinai and the mountain as Horeb. Later the area may have received the name Horeb and the mountain Sinai. Was the so-called prophet Su'ayb actually referring to the Saint Sulei who lived as a hermit on Mt Sinai for 7 years? However I think Mt Horeb and Mt Sinai are two separate mountains that became confused with each other. If Eusebius is correct then both mountains are to be found in Arabia Felix or Yemen. I could be that the modern day Jibal Haraz was Mt Horeb.

I have been reading about different understandings about the concept of an Ice Age. Both uniformitarian and many Creationist scientists try to understand this within a world-view that perceives this as to be understood only through natural processes. Whereas I believe one needs to take into account that human science was very advanced in the past and played a part in the catastrophic events of our geologic history.

Creationists usually talk about one Ice Age and uniformitarians about five major Ice Ages.  They place two of these Ice Ages in the period that most Creationists consider to be the layers of the Great Flood.  The uniformitarian geologists call them Andean-Saharan (Ordovician-Silurian), and the Karoo (Devonian -Permian) Ice Ages or Glaciations. They place another two in the period before the Cambrian, which we won't discuss here.

I agree with the Creationists that there was one major Ice Age before the Exodus from Egypt. However, I don't agree with it being caused by the events of the Flood. I do think the so-called HEAT model may have some validity. One needs cooler summers and larger snowfalls in the winter according to this model. Both the Creationists and Uniformitarians need a mechanism for the build up of enough snow to cause glaciation.

Uniformitarianism is the idea or concept thatthe Earth has always changed in uniform ways over millions of years and that the present processes are the key to the past.  The Wikipedia article on Uniformitarianism states:

Though an unprovable postulate that cannot be verified using the scientific method,some consider that uniformitarianism should be a required first principle in scientific research.Other scientists disagree and consider that nature is not absolutely uniform, even though it does exhibit certain regularities.

Young Earth or Life creationists would disagree with the first and agree with the second group of scientists.This short blog post will discuss this in regards to Sedimentary rock from a Young Earth Creationist perspective that sees man as about 6,000 years old and the planet and solar system around 46,000 years old. The chronology is my own with Adam created in 4006 BC and the Fall of man in 3970 BC and the Flood of Noah in 2005 BC, the Tower of Babel events in 1850 BC, the Destruction of Sodom events in 1654 BC, the global Famine events of Joseph in 1513 BC, Ice Age event in 1470 BC, the End of Ice Age and Exodus from Egypt events in 1350 BC, and the sinking of Atlantis events in 968 BC.

At the time of the Tower of Babel in 1850 BC and the breaking up of the Pangaea the sons of Mitzraim and the sons of Phut were already separate from their brothers and living in Africa or elsewhere together.  The Cataclysmic events of 1654 BC produced the mutation for BT (M42) and the mutation for CT (M168) occurred around 1513 BC at the time of Joseph's Famine. At the time of the first encounter with Venus that caused the Ice Age in 1470 BC, occurred the CF (CF-P143) mutation and the DE (DE-M145) mutation. At the second encounter with Venus and the Exodus from Egypt, occurred the mutations for C (C-M216) y-dna and F (F-M89) as well as D (D-F974) y-dna and E (E-M96) y-dna.

Eliab was a Heloni Prince of Zebulon b.1370 BC.He married Eurycyda a Princess of Benjamin b.1350 BC the daughter of Gera (Geryon) a Prince of Benjamin b.1392 BC and Eurypyle a Princess of Elis and Amazon Queen b.1390 BC. They left Egypt at the Exodus with Moses around 1350 BC. His son was Priam (Prometheus) a Heloni Prince of Zebulon b.1325 BC of F preIJK y-dna of the sons of Shem and Japheth which was shared by all men except those of Hamite A y-dna after 1654 BC, Hamite B y-dna after 1513 BC, Shemite and Japhethite DE y-dna after 1470 BC, Gomerite C y-dna of the Japhethites after 1350 BC, Japhethite D y-dna of Tubali, Meshechi and Magogi after 1350 BC and E y-dna of the Japhethite Javani and two clans of the Levites (the Mushi) and Danites (Hushi) after 1350 BC. He married Lady Hesione of Titan b.1322 BC. They entered the promised Land around 1310 BC. 

Cardinal Schonborn the Archbishop of Vienna a great friend of Israel writes: 

"...No infidelity on the part of Israel, no sin of the people, not even the misjudgment and rejection of Jesus the Messiah, can ever destroy God’s fidelity to “Abraham and his posterity for ever”. And so Paul writes to the Christian community in Rome: “[A]s regards election they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers. For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable” (Rom 11:28-29). Twice Paul asks the question, and twice he gives the resounding reply: “I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! So I ask, have they stumbled so as to fall? By no means!” (Rom 11:1, 11).

What does this mean for the Church? It opens up the need for a change of outlook, in fact, a change of heart. The indelible impression left by the Shoah, the Holocaust, teaches the same lesson. It makes us realize that the deadly hatred of Israel is also, deep down, aimed at the Church, in fact at the God of Israel himself, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

There is much that ought to be said here. Let me mention just three areas in which a change of outlook is necessary and indeed already, to some extent, taking place. The Catechism points the way forward.

1. We cannot find Christ when he is cut off from his roots. The Catechism shows this in its meditation on the Solemnity of the Epiphany (cf. CCC 528). The Wise Men from the East (cf. Mt 2:1-12) represent the “Church taken from the Gentiles”. They show the permanently valid way for the pagans to come to Christ, even in our own times. The Catechism says:

The magi’s coming to Jerusalem in order to pay homage to the king of the Jews [cf. Mt 2:2] shows that they seek in Israel, in the messianic light of the star of David, the one who will be the king of the nations. Their coming means that pagans can discover Jesus and worship him as Son of God and Savior of the world only by turning toward the Jews and receiving from them the messianic promise as contained in the Old Testament. The Epiphany shows that “the full number of the nations” now takes its “place in the family of the patriarchs” [Leo the Great] and acquires Israelitica dignitas [Easter Vigil, Prayer after third reading] (CCC 528).

The first thing to be noted about this very dense text is this: the ancient promise, that the nations will come and worship God in Israel, on Mount Zion, is fulfilled. From the beginning, the mission of Jesus is shown to fulfill this promise. He fulfills it, not, of course, in the Temple, not on Mount Zion, but in his very person: “He has made ... both one” (Eph 2:14). The pagan religions, the world’s religions, “can play the role of the star that puts men on the path, that leads them to search for the kingdom of God. The star of the religions points toward Jerusalem; it is extinguished and relit in the Word of God, in the Holy Scripture of Israel. The Word of God preserved in Scripture appears as the true star, which we cannot dispense with or ignore if we wish to reach the goal.”

What does this mean? It means that the Gentiles, the nations and religions of the world, can only find Christ, and so can only become Church, when they enter into the promises of Israel, when the history of Israel becomes their history. “Salvation is from the Jews” (Jn 4:22). There is no access to Jesus, and therefore no entry to the People of God, without the acceptance by faith of the revelation of God that speaks to us in the Sacred Scriptures of the Old Testament.

The Old Testament is and will always be God’s great catechesis in preparation for Christ. That is why the Old Testament cannot and must not be replaced by the writings of other religions. We must not try to solve the difficulties of the Old Testament by removing its readings from the liturgy but by learning to read and love and expound it in the light of Christ. A Carthusian lay brother once said to me: “The Old Testament is the love story of God.”

2. The second point concerns this very question of the correct way of reading the Old Testament, in other words, the question of the relationship of the Old and New Testaments. The Catechism regards typology as a privileged expression of their unity. We are talking here, not about one exegetical method among many, but about a deeply theological view of salvation history. Typology is not a method of interpreting texts but a distinctive view of the events of salvation history. It derives from the fact that God’s saving plan is one. The events of the Old Testament foreshadow the events of the New Testament; they are “prefigurations of what [God] accomplished in the fullness of time in the person of his incarnate Son” (CCC 128). Just as the ark saved Noah and his family, so even more does baptism save us now (cf. I Pet 3:21).

This does not devalue the Old Testament, as the Catechism insists time and again: "The calling of the patriarchs and the exodus from Egypt, for example, [do not] lose their own value in God’s plan, from the mere fact that they were intermediate stages” (CCC 130). No, “typology indicates the dynamic movement toward the fulfillment of the divine plan” (ibid.). But this also means that the church can never renounce the Old Testament. To do so would be to disown God himself, for he is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, a God of the living, not of the dead (cf. Mk 12:26-27).

 3. One sore point is the relationship of law and gospel. If the Church is wonderfully prepared for in the Old Testament, in what sense does the law prepare for the gospel? By contrast to the widespread contemporary view that law and gospel are in opposition to each other, the Catechism sees them in a relationship of promise and fulfillment: “The Lord’s Sermon on the Mount, far from abolishing or devaluing the moral prescriptions of the Old Law, releases their hidden potential and has new demands arise from them: it reveals their entire divine and human truth. It does not add new external precepts, but proceeds to reform the heart, the root of human acts” (CCC, 1968).

At this point, in line with the Catechism, which stands in the great Catholic tradition, we need to consider and reflect on why and how Jesus perfectly fulfills the law. The Jewish tradition has its own feast of “rejoicing in the Torah”. One takes the Torah under one’s arm, as if it were a bride, and dances with it in the synagogue.5 The reason why joy in the law of God is so great is that it springs from his very own will, from his heart. According to a Jewish tradition, it is the Torah that is the beginning in which God created heaven and earth. It is the plan of God’s heart, the plan by which he created the world, the plan that he revealed to his people. That is why there is no greater happiness than being totally faithful to God’s law. Jesus will even say that this fidelity is his “food” (Jn 4:34).

This is all just a hint, a sketch. We can grasp the heart of the matter if we go back to what we said earlier: the mysterious encounter of Israel Zolli with Jesus Christ in the Great Synagogue in Rome. It took place when the Rabbi was standing in front of the shrine of the Torah. Is not Christ “the fulfillment of the law”? Is he not “the beginning” in whom, through whom, for whom God created all things, and in whom God’s plan is carried out: the Church? 

Opposite the Great Synagogue of Rome, in Lungotevere dei Pierleoni, stands a small church, San Gregorio. Above the entrance is an inscription in Hebrew and Latin. It calls the Jews to conversion. Here, for centuries (from the time of Pius V to Pius IX), sermons were given to which the Jews were obliged to listen. Is it not now a time of conversion for us? This church, at the entrance to the ghetto, bears witness to the long history of suffering of God’s beloved Chosen People. The Council said that the Church is “wonderfully prepared” (mirabiliter praeparata) in the Old Testament and in the history of the people of Israel. Perhaps today we realize more deeply that this remains valid, through the permanent presence of the people of Israel, until the Lord himself returns to perfect the Church."[Christoph Schonborn "Loving the Church"]

The 'terumah' is the lifted offering (which symbolises the lifted offering of the Mass). This alludes to the parashat Terumah in the Book of Exodus which tells of the mysteries of the Tabernacle and its furnishings. This leads us also to the hidden 'terumah' in Genesis 1. Starting with the first tav in the Torah in the word Bereshit one counts every 26 letters until it spells out the word 'Terumah'. The tebillah refers to water purifications which also alludes to the mayim (waters) and yammim (seas) of Genesis 1 connected to the mysteries of the Shekhinah and her Son. 

On the blogosphere there has been some discussion of the phrase in the Lord's Prayer (Our Father) 'daily bread'. The Greek uses 'epiousion' or 'epiousios' for the English 'daily'. There is discussion about what this phrase would be in Hebrew and Aramaic. The Greek word epiousion means super-substantial and thus would seem to allude to the Eucharisted bread rather than mere ordinary bread. This also alludes to the miraculous bread of the Exodus called Manna. The word Manna is connected to the Hebrew word menat which means 'a part of' or 'portion of'. One Israeli-born Hebrew Catholic believes the Hebrew phrase could be 'menat lakhmenu leyom'. In Aramaic the phrase 'daily bread' is lekhem-hukh. Hukh meaning 'an assigned portion'.   

John 19 states that Jesus was crucified on Preparation Day of the Passover. Preparation Day is always on the Friday before the Sabbath. The day before Passover (Pesach) is not Preparation Day. A better translation would be the Preparation Day for the Sabbath within Passover. On this special Sabbath the Song of Songs is chanted with a special cantillation just for this day. It is a High Mystical Day in which one focuses on the mysteries of forgiveness and communion with God through a meditated reading of Parashat Ki Tisa (Exodus 30:11-34:35) and later with the Divine Nuptial Mysteries of the Song of Songs and the mysteries of the Resurrection in the Haftarah reading (Ezekiel 37).

I was pleased to see my point demonstrated by Rabbi Avrohom Gordimer in his article titled "Shabbat Chol HaMoed Pesach." He writes:

"....The morning Torah reading of Shabbos Chol Ha-moed (Sabbath of the Intermediary Days of Passover) consists of selected portions from Parshas Ki Sisa (Parashat Ki Tisa or Portion beginning "when you take" in Exodus 30). The conclusion of the kriah summarily addresses the Shalosh Regalim (Three Pilgrimage Feasts), and this would seem to be the relevance of the reading to the day. However, the first six aliyos (aliyot or readings) have nothing to do with Yom Tov (High Holy Day); rather, they deal with Moshe's (Moses') supplication to Hashem (God) to forgive the Jews for the Chet Ha-egel (sin of the Golden Calf) and the grand rapprochement between God and His people. Is there thus any other connection between the Torah reading and the Moed (Intermediate Days)?

Shabbos Chol Ha-moed (as well as Shabbos which coincides with Yom Tov) is unique, for the character of the day is not just that of Shabbos (Sabbath) as its own day alongside that of Moed (Intermediary Days), in which the two days and their respective themes exist on their own. On the contrary, when Shabbos and Moed are joined, they fuse to create a new, unparalleled kedushah (holiness or sanctity) and status. Please allow me to explain.

Shabbos is symbolized by its coming to the Jews. We go out to greet the Shabbos Queen, who is already on her way to us, and we welcome malachim to our homes on Friday night. Yom Tov is quite the opposite, for it requires that we ascend to Yerushalayim and enter the realm of the Shechinah. Rather than God sending his kedusha our way, we must go up to it and greet Hashem at His place.

Thus, when Shabbos and Yom Tov coincide, we rise and approach God (in the kedusha (holiness) of Yom Tov), and He also comes to us (Shabbos). The closeness between Hashem and the Jew which is precipitated is qualitatively different than that which is created by the separate kedushos (holinesses) of Shabbos or Yom Tov on their own. It is, rather, a new closeness, and this closeness is mirrored precisely by the grand rapprochement between God and the Jews in Parshas Ki Sisa, when Hashem agrees to forgive His people and share with them a relationship heretofore unheard of.

It is based on the above that we reserve the public reading of Shir Ha-Shirim (Song of Songs) for Shabbos-Pesach (Sabbath within Passover) and Koheles (Kohelet or Ecclesiastes) for Shabbos-Sukkos/Shmini Atzeres (Sabbath within the Feast of Tabernacles), for these megillos (texts or books) reflect on our relationship with Hashem and provide deep insight into His avodah (divine service or work) as depicted by each Yom Tov. Thus, it is specifically on these Shabbos/Yom Tov days of special closeness between Hashem and Bnei Yisroel (children of Israel) that we are able to have a greater understanding of our relationship with Hashem and immerse ourselves in the deeper avodah message of the Yom Tov...".
