KEY
VERSE: Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their
substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in
Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of
Canaan they came. (Gen 12:5)
Abram had fled Ur on the plains of Shinar. He had braved the fire of the
kilns of Nimrod (Book of Jasher) and was a new creature renamed “Abraham.”
God had breathed life “hey” (the letter ‘h”) unto Abram.
Apparently, like Adam before him, Abraham seemed to have breathed life unto
those of Haran — a “mountain people”
As they were Abraham’s seed that expanded, then their souls would have been
filled with God. They would not have been pagan but righteous followers.
Now consider the English word “souls” (נֶפֶשׁ nephesh:
nun – pey – shin — Seed, light &
speech (God-consciousness’), and synthesis, respectively. They would have been
the seed of Abraham and like Abraham and part of the Abrahamic Covenant. Before
conscious only of the world, they had received God-consciousness from the same
Spirit that changed Abram to Abraham.
Modern people think of souls as faculties of all men, but as it
seems the soul belongs only to people conscious of God in their thoughts and
ways.
In my book, Hidden Things of the Garden, I wrote extensively about both
the faculty of the conscience and consciousness itself, the former being the
standards of morality and the latter the self-awareness and of the things that affect
you.
The human soul would be conscious of God and His righteousness. Those together
would the “heart,” or center of focus for Christians. Hence, the mind would be the
“heart” of a Christian and God-consciousness what saves.
The point to the discussion is that Abram multiplied, not by coupling at that
time because he was impotent, but by adding souls to his family — those who
were conscious of God as the focal points of their lives. They followed Abram because
he was righteous; that suggests that Abram was a type of Christ; not Christ but
with Christ in him.
How many people followed Abram? The Bible does not say, but it does say that
a great number of souls followed him from Haran.
Before that time (at Shinar), “The Lord came down to see the city and the
tower, which the children of men built” (Gen 11:5). Note the distinction
between “men” and “souls” on those two occasions. The focus of the men
was on building a tower for King Nimrod. The focus of the souls was to
increase the faith of Abram.
In scripture “men” and “man” is translated from three sources: the Hebrew
words Adam, Ish, and Enosh.
“Adam” was the elect kind in the Garden of Eden (Gen 1:28). Since Adamic men and women were the “elect” and
“dominion” (in that passage) refers to “a crumbling”
The first use of “Ish” for “man” comes with a change in the nature
of the woman, formerly
“Ishah,” after sin Isha was called Huau (“Eve” in English.)
Adam was created by God but Cain (“Ish”) by Ishah (Gen 4:1) from whom her
kind as the mother of all living (Gen 1:20). Although technically “Ish” refers
to males and “Ishah” females, it was Eve’s kind “Ishah” that created Cain, not
by dispensing divine seed but beastly seed from some “Beast.”
If you are testing that by AI, note that AI did not get it!
Since the word “Adam” was used in Genesis 11:5 that would include
all mankind, not just the seed of Cain. “Adam” is all encompassing, even for
women, whereas “Ish” seems to refer only to lost souls from Eve that require
regeneration.
Whereas Adam’s kind had soul’s, perhaps Ish men as sons of Cain would be
marked because they were perhaps more brutish looking than Adamic man because their
“father” was the Devil.
Why was the use of “children of Adam” used in building the tower rather
than “children of Ish”?
Well, my hypothesis is that “man” may have been used to signify mankind in
general, whereas “Ish” is person specific. Anashim would be the plural
of Ish and comes from “Enosh” — common, mortal men that are weaker.
The tower would have been built by mighty men of God, obviously in confusion
about the nature of God.
Now, how to use that information?
The
LORD said, “I will destroy man (adam) whom I have created from the face of the Earth;
both man (adam), and beast (behemah), and the creeping
thing (remes), and the fowls of the air (‘op samayim); for it repents Me that I have made them. (Gen 6:7)
Note that God condemned all the kinds that He had made: the highest state
of man, Adam, the lower state of man, Remes, and all threshold
beings, ‘op samayim: Grigori giants, Anunnaki, and such. God intended to
wipe out all upright creatures with intelligence or sentience.
Behemah would be a lower order
biological creature adapted to the world but without intelligence. They would be instinctual rather than
intelligent. Behemah would be the lowest functional state of man
(hominid), perhaps beneath Neanderthal and below both Adam and Remes.
They would not be inferior but less developed in their spiritual state. They
would not have had a conscience nor have been conscious of God.
It seems that all upright beings without tails were among the highest states
in existence, and it was only them that would perish in the waters of the
flood. Of course, other creatures would have been collaterally damaged.
God intended that all beings that even resembled mankind be destroyed. Those
beings would not have been gorillas, monkeys, nor apes but human beings less
developed. They would not have been evolved beings but creatures that God had
made (Gen 6:7). Since God is “Truth,” then man-like beings would not have
evolved that way but created less cognizant of themselves and more cognizant of
nature, especially the behemah.
King David wrote the song about the states of mankind:
What is
man (enosh), that You are mindful of him? and the son of man (Adam), that You
visit him? for You have made him a little lower than the angels and have
crowned him with glory and honour; You made him to have dominion over the works
of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet. (Psalm 8:4-6)
The psalm refers to both common mortal men (Enosh) as well as all
the sons of the first man in general. The New Testament extends that to
Jesus (Heb 2:7-9), indicating that Jesus was made in the womb a common, mortal man
but arose glorified — the Son of Adam, as the “last Adam” — a quickening Spirit
(1Cor 15:45).
Jesus, like all mortal men, was made like us (Enosh) but was changed
by death into a glorious being in a higher state of godliness than any other being.
Paul wrote to Peter: “…in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing,
wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water” (1 Pet 3:20).
Now let’s get technical; eight “men” half of each gender, with souls were
saved during the flood, meaning those who not conscious of God would not have
been saved by water.
Just as a few years later souls would follow Abram to “Paradise” eight
souls would have been saved by water. Paul appended that thought:
The
like figure whereunto even baptism does also now save us (not the putting away
of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by
the resurrection of Jesus Christ. (verse 21)
It would not have been the physical water that saved them but those who had
a good conscience, or God consciousness, thus having souls. It is not the flesh
that is saved by salvation; it is of the souls of mankind; “Receiving the end
of your faith, even the salvation of your souls” (1 Pet 1:9).
In my book, The Arks of Tubal-Cain, I indicate that eight souls
would have been saved because of good consciences, but that even more of Ish’s
kind like Tubal-Cain could have made it through the waters, not as Noah’s house
with good consciences, but the works of their own hands and skills. Eight “souls”
would have been saved, but possibly many more Anashim could have made it
to safety in high places.
Anashim and Annunaki
have a connection, although it is not biological. Both terms refer to beings
with higher cognition and agency in contrast to behemah.
Anashim — common mortal men with
high intelligence, without god-consciousness, would have made it through the
waters by their own devices, as well as the Anakim, beings of a much higher
order than common men.
It was my intention to demonstrate that beings of various genetics could
have made it through the waters of the flood but that only those with souls
were saved by God. My hope is that it is correct.
