Читать книгу CURSE of the HOLY ARK - Ted Miller III - Страница 6

I held my breath as I stepped back from the table and surveyed the room. When additional oxygen and light reached the writers’ senses, the background music also reached a crescendo and a cymbal crashed that caused all twelve to awaken to each other’s astounding stares. I still continued to talk about the who, what, when, and wherefores of the project. This ploy was to allow everyone the opportunity to become fully awake without worrying whether or not their fellow writers also fell asleep or were in a trance for a moment or two.

I addressed my comments to the entire group as I said, “Now I know that we are a little tired from yesterday’s travel and last night’s dinner party, so let’s break until lunch and then we can resume our discussion about this second handout.”

As I passed out another sheaf of bound papers to each, I was sure that no one wished to be embarrassed by admitting that they didn’t really remember what we had been talking about. The looks in all twelve’s eyes spoke of their indecision, but before their doubts could be voiced another twelve gentlemen entered the room.

These young men all wore name-tags that marked them as the lead research assistants assigned to each writer. Each of these twelve also had five aides to assist with our overall plan to develop a biblical styled bestseller of a book that appeared to be banned or burned and buried away for centuries by the church.

Having now laid the groundwork for the building of a new and improved faith we adjourned with each slightly confused author being led away by their own personal assistant uttering words of praise about the author’s past works. Only me and my master had a hint of the heaven or hell we were creating.

Although I knew that most everyone has a Bible in their home and claims to have read it, most people still don’t really understand the basic story. This saga is what my next handout was all about. It was a twenty page condensed version of the chronological order of the original cornerstones of creation. The Old Testament has 39 books of history, poetry and prophecy and the New Testament has 27 books of history and letters. Together they hold 1,189 chapters of more than a million words that inter-net and interplay with each other. This remarkable collection tells you what it is going to say, says it, and then tells you what it said.

The Bible starts with “Genesis”, which means “to be born”. This first chapter describes the beginning of creation and the genealogical research of the roots and descendants of Abraham. Next is “Exodus”, which is translated as “out of way” and tells the stories of the chosen people’s delivery from slavery. How they were set free from the pharaoh after a series of plagues. Their dramatic escape across the Red Sea and the Israelites’ travels in the wilderness before reaching Mount Sinai, where Moses received his people’s instructions from God. These Ten Commandments are said to be inscribed by the finger of God and became the law of the Lord.

Moses, the free mason, practiced the religion of his forefathers. The reform of Akh-en-Aton replaced the cult of Amon with the solar monotheism of Aton who was regarded as the only true God who created everything that ever existed. Moses is well known as a charismatic leader who was also an oracular prophet, but few people know he was also an ecstatic magician trained in the masonic tradition.

The Bible continues on with “Leviticus”, which was the tribe’s name that was entrusted with the regulations, rules and animal sacrifices of the laws of Moses when he created the national religion. In “Numbers” the tribe’s census is conducted and the prophets of Moses build the tabernacle to house God’s words. “Deuteronomy” is the second of laws which repeats the first five books and Moses’ death speech which declared the descendants of Abraham would be given a Promised Land of their own to live in. Closing out the Old Testament are the “Books of History” which written by Moses also contain poetry of the Holy Scriptures and prophecy of the sacred writings.

It was within these books that we hoped to find our very first words that were meant to lead to a million more of our utmost for His highest.
