"Abraham and Sarah in Egypt" - Sumerian IB.RU.UM,General not Shepherd"

IB.RU.UM OF SUMER

His Friends the Gods, and their UFOs

"Sodom and Gomorrah"

Introducing his nephew - LOT, and

Lot's Wife - who became a Pillar of SALT!

Genesis 12:10 "And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land."

11 "And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon."

13 "Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee."

15 "And the princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house."

16 "And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels."

17 "And the Lord plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues of Sarai Abram's wife."

18 "And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?"

19"Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way."

20 "And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had."

Genesis 13:2 "And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold."

The Bible story of Joseph, and of Moses, are both quite likely a compilation of details from the lives of several other real historical persons, from which various Bible authors have constructed mythical heroes and prophets much larger than life -- but Abram - Abraham was indeed one historical person, whose identity is changed to a Hebrew shepherd, although he was, in real life, a Sumerian general, in command of an army.

His "riches" were not his own, but belonged to the Elohim or Anunaki. Who came calling on him to discuss their plans with him because he was really their general, and very much a part of their plans. In Genesis chapter 14, a major military exploit of "General" Abraham, whose Sumerian name was IB-RU-UM, is given in enough detail that scholars have been able to identify him from parallel contemporary records dug up by archaeologists in the Middle East.

However, at least in the Bible record of his life, he did have a nephew named Lot, who also had a wife, and eventually two daughters (but no sons). Lot also had a lot of sheep and goats and there was not enough grazing land in the Bethel area for them both to graze their flocks and herds.

Genesis 13:3 "And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been in the beginning, between Bethel and Hai; 4 Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first; and there Adram called upon the name of the Lord."

5 "And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents."

6 "And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together; for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together."

7 "And there was strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land."

8 "And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we are brethren."

9 "Is not the whole land before thee? seperate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left."

10 "And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld tall he plain of Jordan, that it was well watered evert where, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the Lord, like the land of EAgypt, as thou comest unto Zoar."

11 "Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other."

Here's where Bible students and theologians and scholars have made a mistake, beginning in the Middle Ages when belief in miracles and the wrath of God was very strong, in assuming that the salt water and desert conditions in the Dead Sea area were caused by the destruction that God rained on Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities of the plain -- so that must have been where Lot moved with his cattle, and at that former time there was plenty of grass and other vegetation there. Since last year, 2015, we know that this was most certainly a FALSE ASSUMPTION!

This illustration perpetuates this false belief.

Obviously there is no Jordan River where "Sodom"

is located here on the map, only a salt flat between

the upper and lower portions of the Dead Sea.

Genesis 13:12 "Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom."

Neither of these locations is very definite. No city or location is here given at this point in time for Abram. The "land of Canaan" is a fairly large area. And the "cities of the plain" could be all over the southern Jordan valley. "Towards Sodom" shows an inclination on Lot's part to favor Sodom over the other cities in that area, however. But until last year, 2015, we weren't sure where Sodom was. Now comes a puzzler. A reason for him NOT to favor Sodom. Here he's shown greeting people at the gate of a building. Wait a minute! Didn't he live in a tent?

13 "But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly."

COMES NOW A HIATUS OR BREAK IN THE STORY IN WHICH GOD PROMISES TO ABRAM ALL THE LAND HE SEES AND INVITES HIM TO WALK ALL OVER IT, IT'S HIS!

15 "For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever."

Abraham and the 3 angels (Elohim) who came calling on him at his tent near Hebron

Genesis 18:1 "And the Lord appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;--"

2 "And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself towaed the ground."

3 "And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:--"

4 "Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:---"

(Later, when the men (who were angels) had dined)

16 "And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way."

22 "And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the Lord."

IB-RU-UM

(Abraham)

All the details of the military campaign described in Genesis chapter 14 can be found in this Sumerian cylinder seal impression as well as the cuneiform text that we now know accompanies it!

BUT even more informative and of great help in finding out the real story behind this battle, and why Sodom and the cities of the plain were targeted for destruction, is the cylinder shaped tall structure on the left behind the camel. With two "bird-men" hovering beside the top portion. It's a two or three stage rocket-powered space-craft quite similar to those we have been using since the 1960s!

Genesis 14:1 "And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam and Tidal king of nations;--"

2 "That these made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Adma, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar."

3 "All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea."

Just because they went down there to fight a battle doesn't mean they all lived there by the Dead Sea. Indeed it's a better reason to believe they didn't. The area was worthless for anything beside fighting!

4 "Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled."

5 "And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim."

6 "And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan, which is by the wilderness."

7 "And they returned , and came to Enmishpat, which is Kedesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazezon-tamar."

8 "And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar;) and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim;--"

9 "With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with five."

10 "And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain."

11 "And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way."

12 "And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed."

Note that by now Lot is living in Sodom, a citizen, a definite part of that city -- not in a tent near-by. Had he been in a tent, and fled, he might have not been captured.

13 "And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aher: and these were confederate with Abram."

14 "And when Abram heard that his brother (nephew?) was taken captive, he armed his trained servants (actually his army -- he was a Sumerian general), born in his own household (a cover-up), three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan."

15 "And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus."

Here's another puzzler, another indefinite description of location. Any place is "to the left of" any other location only in regards to where the observer or story-teller is located, telling us something about who this observer might be -- in this case a later Essene editor. There were later Essenes in Damascus.

16 "And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people."

Let me point out here something that generally escapes notice of readers not paying proper attention to details because they have other agendas that drive them to extreme distortions of the facts. Besides Lot, his wife, and his two daughters, and all their "goods" which we can readily assume included a large flock of sheep and goats -- the other "people" brought back to Sodom by Abram would have been all the captured people of that city leaving us with a rather important question. Where are, or were the "Sodomites"? The famous homosexuals? The gays, Lesbians, and other sexual deviants? Were they left behind to own the city, only to be dispossessed when Abram showed up with the other Sodom inhabitants he saved with all their captured "goods"? To me the answer to this puzzle is clear. All this "gender preference intolerance" is in the mind, and in the editing of a later editor or editors who saw Hobah as being "on the left hand" of Damascus.

17 "And the king of Sodom went out to meet him (Abram) after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale."

The REAL STORY here, the one that the Jewish editors are carefully avoiding here, because it became religiously INCORRECT after the time of "Moses" who converted Israel to Monotheists, must be carefully put together like a detective story from the imprint of the Sumerian cylinder seal which is now stored in a museum, along with the Cuneiform text that gives the SAME STORY we're getting the "politically correct" part of in Genesis chapter 14. This picture is of what went on when Abram won the battle, had the four foreign kings executed (Chedolaomer, Amraphel, Arioch, and Tidal) and the five local kings freed (Bera, Birsha, Shinab, Shemeber, and the unnamed king of Bela --which is Zoar).

The two lines of chained or roped kings are clearly seen to your right in the clay impression left by the cylinder seal. On the top are the five kings that will be liberated by Abram (the victorious general). They are still dressed and wearing their crowns. Below them are the defeated foreign kings. Naked, with no crowns, awaiting execution. Only three with a soldier standing on a horse holding their tether. One possibly died in battle or was executed earlier. A dog is waiting their fate.

The victorious Abram is kneeling on the back of a horse wearing a more obvious crown in the exact center of the picture over a crescent moon turned sideways like a ship with trees like masts growing out of it. This was a symbol of the Sinai peninsula in ancient Sumerian times. At that time the Sinai had a large aquifer and could produce crops and fruit for the Sumerian gods.

Directly to Abram's right and slightly above him but close to him is a strangely dressed individual. Not wearing the military uniforms others are wearing, and perhaps wearing some sort of a space helmet. ID Made more likely by the three-stage rocket to his right, complete with attendants.

The 2-stage rocket has wings like a bird, which are not real, only symbolic, to show that it flies through the air. Over it is a bird, which is symbolic also and signifies what the pilot, perhaps the god Abram is being chummy with here, will be flying it. Perhaps saucer-shaped. Perhaps not. Classified information. Even now. 3000 years later!

Between the god with the goggles or helmet and the space-craft sits the goddess, Hathor to the Egyptians, who at that time was goddess of the Sinai, in the center of which was a space station and support facility. The god who Abram is next to, with the goggles or helmet, is NANNAR-SIN, in charge of the entire Middle East at that time. The one after whom Sinai was named. This should not shock any rationally thinking person. Yahweh or Jehovah was not even named until Moses met him much later at the incident of the "Burning Bush". All politically incorrect now of course, if you are Jewish or Muslim. But Christians know, without the shadow of a doubt, that all these things, even the creation of our present earth, was done by Jesus Christ. Before he was born in a manger from a virgin mother in Bethlehem of Judaea.

Turning our attention now to the poorly-drawn strange-looking creature on the lower left reaching its head up to perhaps eat from some sort of container. It's a camel. We see the leg of its rider hanging down on its left side, but no more of the rider is visible. Here's the secret of Abram's successful lightning campaign against the kings from Mesopotamia. He had over three hundred camels, perhaps armored, with soldiers trained to fight with spears of bows and arrows while hiding behind the camel's hump. His adversaries had all those captives to deal with, and must stay on the roads and highways, while Abram's "Camel Cavalry" picked away at their defenses from all different directions and even from over the sand dunes. At great speeds and devastating effectiveness. It was no contest.

Months or years later, the king of Sodom and his area were forced by another Sumerian god not on the same political agenda as Nannar Sin and "Hathor", who was known in Egypt as Ra and in Babylon as Marduk, to side with him, not the other gods. And the other gods ordered a preemptive strike on the cities of the plain using atomic or nuclear weapons. To keep the Sinai space-port out of the control of Ra-Marduk. The "sin" of Sodom had nothing whatsoever to do with gender preferences. Lot was saved again because he was related to General Abram.

Genesis 14:18 "And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine and he was the priest of the most high God."

19 "And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:---

20 "And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thine hand. And he gave him TITHES of all."

Here's another place in this story not tied up in this "many gods besides Yahweh problem" in which later editors could shine forth and make points. The victorious Abram, even in the original Sumerian gods story was accountable to someone who was a human being. Who lived in Salem, an older name for the location now occupied by Jerusalem. The Elohim had a control outpost for their Sinai space station at this center at Salem, and the one in charge was a priest named Melchizidek. He had more rank in the hierarchy than General Abram, so Abram reported to him, and took care of the "spoils" owed the gods.

Again, the Essenes of Qumran were very interested in both the tithing system for their support. And in the Holy Meal of bread and wine. And further, in the identity, real and symbolic, of this official named Melchizidek. Some of the Dead Sea Scrolls deal with their speculations on all these issues.

Genesis 14:21 "And the king of Sodom (King of the gays and Lesbians?) said unto Abram, give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself."

22 "And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the Lord, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth, -- (That would be Enlil, the godly adversary of Ra-Marduk, whose rulership of "heaven and earth" was supported by Anu or El, the Father and Ruler of the other lesser gods)--

23 "That I will not take from a thread even to a shoe-latchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest, thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich. 24 Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men that went with me, Aner, Eschol, and Mamre, let them take their portion."

Try to envision now the long trek from the Damascus area to Jerusalem then to Hebron and from there back into the "Cities of the Plain" of all these people (none of them probably "gay") only to be later destroyed (all except Lot and his two daughters), by a surprise bombardment by one or several nuclear weapons. Hopefully of much smaller destructive power and lingering radiation than we, the new masters of the human race, are capable of raining on our enemies.
