Our Previous Page was about The Bible Story of Eve's Creation

and Her Sin with the Serpent

    WHICH THREW ALL CREATION INTO A CONDITION OF SIN AND REBELLION AGAINST GOD.  A CONDITION  THAT COULD ONLY BE REMEDIED BY THE DEATH AND RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST, WHO IN THE NEW TESTAMENT IS PRESENTED BY SOME OF HIS DISCIPLES AS THE ONE WHO CREATED ADAM AND EVE IN THE BEGINNING.

 

 Adam and Eve were evicted, cast out of the Garden of Eden

    HOWEVER, IN THE SUMERIAN STORIES, WHICH BECAME THE ASSYRIAN AND THEN BABYLONIAN STORIES, WRITTEN PERMANENTLY IN CUNEIFORM WRITING BAKED INTO BRICK BOOKS AND STORED IN GREAT NUMBERS IN MIDDLE EAST LIBRARIES, ACCOMPANIED BY CARVED PICTURES AND STONE PICTURE SEALS -- NONE OF THIS HAPPENED!

    AS THERE WAS, WE HAVE DISCOVERED, SOME CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE STORY OF ADAPA IN THE SUMERIAN HISTORIES AND THE STORY OF ADAM IN GENESIS, WE SHOULD SEARCH FOR A REASON, NO MATTER HOW FAR-FETCHED, IN THE ORIGINAL GOD STORIES FOR A GOD TO FORBID ACCESS TO A TREE OF KNOWLEDGE IN THE MIDST OF THE GARDEN OF EDEN.

     AND WE FIND SUCH A STORY CONNECTED WITH THE MANY STORIES RELATING TO THE ADVENTURES AND ANTICS OF A SUMERIAN GODDESS NAMED INANNA, THE GODDESS OF LOVE AND WISDOM, AND ALSO, REGRETTABLY, OF WAR.   HERE'S HER PICTURE.

      In this particular story, which may have been read by the Hebrew editors of the Bible, the Goddess Inanna, now living a long ways from E-DIN, perhaps in India, decided she wanted the TABLETS, stored in a library in the Middle East, perhaps in E-DIN or nearby, which were being guarded by ENKI or one of his guards.   She seduced the guardian of the tablets in her usual manner, by granting him sexual favors, then carried them to her waiting space-vehicle (Inanna was an Astronaut) and fled back to the other side of the earth, where she was living and reigning at that time.

    These tablets contained all sorts of knowledge she could use to better the lots of her new human subjects, and also directions needed to leave earth and travel to the heaven of the Anunakki, originally called Nibiru, but renamed Marduk after the renegade son of Enki, once he had gained contol of Earth and proclaimed Monotheism to be the religion for all, and himself, Marduk, as that One God everyone must worship.   Here is his picture.

    Finding Monotheism to their liking, the Hebrews adapted it to become their religion but instead of Marduk (called Ra in Egypt) they proclaimed Yahweh (also called Jehovah) to be that One God, the Creator of Heaven and Earth.  The same claim made by Ra-Marduk in Egypt and Babylon.   And indeed it is a powerful and sometimes successful concept.   As both Al Quiada and ISIS are finding it to be as I write these words.

    THE MAIN SOURCE OF MONOTHEISTIC RELIGION IS NOW THE BIBLE, WHICH IS WHERE MOHAMMED GOT THE IDEA FROM, WITH A SECOND MAJOR SOURCE BEING THE KORAN OR QURAN, BUT THE WORSHIP OF GODDESSES NEVER REALLY "DIED", ALTHOUGH POWERFULLY SUPPRESSED BY RA-MARDUK AFTER HE CAME INTO POWER, AND LATER BY THE HOLY BIBLE.

     IN JESUS' ERA, THE FIRST CENTURY AD, GODDESS-WORSHIP WAS LIMITED IN ISRAEL TO A SECRET BELIEF AMONG JEWS THAT YAHWEH HAD A CONSORT NAMED "HOCHMAH" WHO APPEARS IN PROVERBS 8 AS "WISDOM"

    AND AMONG THE ESSENES, THE GNOSTIC ESSENES WORSHIPPED "WISDOM" AS BOTH "SOPHIA" (GREEK NAME) AND BARBELO.   ONE OF BARBELO'S PICTURES IS SHOWN HERE.

Barbelo

Goddess of Wisdom

     THERE ARE, OF COURSE, LOTS OF PEOPLE WHO WILL NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING IS RELIGIOUSLY TRUE OR USEFUL UNLESS THEY READ IT IN THE BIBLE, SO I'VE DECIDED TO HERE GIVE YOU SOLOMON'S DESCRIPTION OF INANNA, GODDESS OF BOTH LOVE AND WISDOM, BUT HE INCLUDES HER REPUTATION AS GODDESS OF WAR AS SORT OF A HIDDEN WARNING, OR PERHAPS JOKE?

     Proverbs 7:4 "Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:

    5 That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words (the Goddess Inanna).

    6 "For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,  7 And beheld among the simple ones, I descerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,

    8 "Passing through the street near her corner; he went the way to her house,  9 In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:

    10 "And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of a harlot, and subtil of heart."

    11 (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:

    12 Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)

    13 So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,

    14 I have peace offerings with me; this day have I paid my vows.

    15 Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.

    16 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.

    17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

    18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning; let us solace ourselves with loves.

    19 For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey;

    20 He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.

    21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yeild, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.

    22 He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;

    23 Til a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.

    24 Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.

    25 Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.

    26 For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.

    27 Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death."

    Genesis 2:17 "But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."

    Matthew 7:13 "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

     14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."

But then there's that other sort of Wisdom, Hochmah, the "Wife" of God, or "Sophia", or Barbelo

STILL LIVING AMONG MANKIND, AFTER BRINGING US ALL INTO EXISTENCE EVEN BEFORE THE "GARDEN OF EDEN" WAS PLANTED - AND CARRYING US TO BIRTH IN THEIR OWN BODIES -- THE GODDESSES HIDDEN BY THE BIBLE EDITORS OF GENESIS

     Goddesses were required to carry to term the first civilized human babies after hominoid eggs were fertilized with sperm from young male Elohim. The infants were born in a laboratory like the one pictured above.  Until the "Daughters of Eve" could manage this task all by themselves!

   

THE PLOT HAS BEEN SET UP FOR

Eve's Dilemma
She's suddenly thrust into a world in which she has no say in what's happening, and no knowledge of what her future holds.

The MALES, not her type of creature, are off creating other animals and talking their male talk, while she is left alone.

She is forbidden to obtain further knowledge, but told where it can be found -- at a certain tree in the midst of the garden of Eden.

What should she do?

What would YOU do?

THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF

Good and Evil

    Genesis 2:15 "And the Lord God took the man, and put him in the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it."

     16 "And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

     17 "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."

 IN CONTRAST TO THIS GENESIS BAN ON WISDOM

AND CONTRADICTING IT

     KING SOLOMON THE WISE

Proverbs 8

    1 "Doth not WISDOM cry? and UNDERSTANDING put forth her voice?

     2 "SHE standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths."

     3 "SHE crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors."

     4 "Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is unto the sons of man."

     5 "O ye simple, understand WISDOM: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart."

     6 "HEAR; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things."

     7 "For my mouth shall speak truths; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips."

     8 "All the words of my mouth are in righteousness: there is nothing froward or perverse in them."

    9 "They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge."

    10 "Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold."

    11 "For WISDOM is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it."

    12 "I WISDOM, dwell with PRUDENCE, and find out KNOWLEDGE of witty inventions."

    13 "The fear of the Lord is to hate EVIL; pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

    14 "Counsel is mine, and SOUND WISDOM; I am UNDERSTANDING; I have strength."

    15 "By me kings reign, and princes decree justice."

    16 "By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth."

    17 "I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me."

    18 "Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness."

    19 "My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver."

    20 "I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment."

    21 "That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures."

Transition to Hochmah

The Consort of Yahweh

    Proverbs 8:22 "The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, BEFORE his works of old."

     23 "I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was."

     24 "When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water."

     25 "Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:

     26 "While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world."

     27 "When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depths: ---" (Artistically portrayed in the picture above!)

     28 "When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:

     29 "When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:--"

Transition to Barbelo

Goddess of the Gnostic Essenes!

     30 "Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;"

     31 "REJOICING in the habitable part of the earth; and my DELIGHTS were with the sons of men."

     32 "Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways."

     33 "Hear INSTRUCTION, and be WISE, and refuse it not."

     34 "Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gate, waiting at the posts of my doors."

     35 "For whoso findeth me findeth LIFE, and shall obtain favour of the Lord."

     36 "But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love DEATH."

    Matthew 12:31 "Wherefore I (Jesus) say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men; but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men." (Here Jesus is equating the Holy Ghost with Wisdom-Barbelo)

    32 "And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, (against me, Jesus, against Christianity) it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall NOT be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come."
