Dr. Isaac Mozeson with James D. Long: Presenting how the 70 nations are speaker of Hidden Hebrew

Yeah. Thank you. Thank you, Aaron. And uh thank uh Yibonah for inviting me to be part of another event here. I know a lot of you folks already. And I see some new faces here. So, I'm always glad to meet uh some new faces when I come to Eretz Yisrael. God has blessed me to be able to come at a minimum at least once a year, and I always uh make it a point to see my Rabbi, Rabbi Chaim Richman, who is with us today. And uh Yeah. Here we go. And um I need a Noachide. I'm a Ben Noach. Uh I call myself a card-carrying Noachide if anybody ever asked me. And basically uh that path to get there is a story many of you have heard already. I'm not going to talk about that too much today because I want to give uh Isaac some time. I am Isaac's publisher. Um I first uh we we got into publishing. My wife can't be here until later this month, Carol. But uh Carol uh designed does all of our graphics and design for our books. And I had read the word many years ago. It knocked me out. And I because I've loved languages, I've loved words all my life. I I spent the first 30 years as a young adult in broadcast radio. I was an announcer. I had less of an accent at that time. Maybe you hear it, I don't know. Uh but basically, so I love words and I also loved the history that we read in the Tanakh. And so when the word was given to me to read, I called Isaac and we had a conversation and I said, "You know, where is the book? Why isn't it available?" And there was a problem with the publisher and I said, "Well, we need to we need to get this out to the public." So he went back to the drawing board and he I think he improved on the word if that was possible because this is a really compelling read and you he can you can buy it today or if you want to or not. So we're going to be talking about this concept of Identics. And I don't I don't know how many of you How many of you really already know personally know Isaac? I know there's some of you here. Well, then you know that that ironically this man who who is who's propagated this idea of the the where this speech came from, you know, he suffered a stroke some years ago and lost his ability to speak. So he has Broca's aphasia. He's gotten much of that back. And so we're doing kind of a tag team today. It'll be It'll be Isaac and myself and his lovely Kyle Kinneret. Kinneret is going to be here and she's also handling some of the some of the tech with us. And Isaac has also been very kind and he's allowed me to take part of his time when he gets through and I'm going to talk about Nimrod and Babel and and was there a Nimrod in history and some other things that have to do with me being a Noahide. And I hope you find all of this entertaining. My I've been doing research. I did a book and a documentary about the Exodus. And I today with the help of this program, if you'll permit me to say so, I'll be playing Aaron to his Moses. And the fact that you'll hear me narrating his Edentics program and uh Kennard and I will be helping Isaac through this process. And uh so we have about until about 12:30. So if there's any time left after Isaac is through with his brilliant uh presentation and and our audio-visual presentation, then I'll do a thing that I'll do a talk that I prepared based on research uh that I'm doing for another documentary about the Tower of Babel. And um if we have time for me, if not, it it won't be a great loss, but uh Isaac, would you like me to say this before or after we we Do you want to say anything by the way or not? Well, what's this? You can read that. Okay. All right. Uh here's an introduction to the talk that Isaac, who is, you know, can write circles around me, by the way. He's an amazing writer, uh full of wit and full of truth. And so he prepared some remarks and I'm going to read them to you and then we'll proceed with the program. Now, by the way, we're doing this the three of us are doing this for the first time and even my talk afterwards will be the first time. So the three of us are hearing all this for the first time, too. So so bear with us. Um as Isaac wrote, Hashem could have had one tribe of Israel instead of 12. Apparently, Hashem likes diversity. The Torah begins with Genesis, with this diversity, dividing the waters, the day and the night, male and female. And when the world goes into chapter 11, one human language program for Adam and Eve gets diversified into 70 language families. Back to those 12 tribes, one tribe was separated to become the teacher tribe, Levi. Among the families of man, there is one teacher tribe, the Jews. The um the chosenness of the Jewish people, as with Levi, is not about leading, but about serving. The eternally exceptional Jewish people are only miraculously existing to serve as in the words of Isaiah 49:6 or LaGoyim, a light unto the nations. So, we just read near the end of the Torah in Devarim that the borders of the 70 nations of our language families since the dispersion from the tower corresponds with the 70 Israelites who'd gone into the Egyptian exile. In Numbers 33, the wandering Israelites encounter 12 springs of water, 70 palm trees. The Jewish exile from Israel and the species-wide exile from Shinar/Sumer at the tower was not merely a punishment, it was a plan. Hashem always creates the vaccine, if you will, for the ills of the world before the ills descend on the world. Today's Sukkot celebration focuses on the nations for whom we offer 70 offerings in Jerusalem's temple. We salute the heroic gentiles of Bnei Noach who have left their idolatrous aspects of the faith that were raised to embrace the ethical monotheism of the Torah Noachide movement. Now, from the metaphor of water and bar, we go back to the light unto the nations, the 70 branches of the menorah, the candelabra of the temple, the house of prayer for all nations. You'll soon have discovered that there is a menorah of only seven anatomical letters shared by all nations' languages. Our proof for a literal understanding of Genesis 11:1, a single world language, will literally be in your face. You'll discover the distant creator is right there at the tips of our tongues. The dispersion and the exile of the tower was, of course, not a curse or punishment, but a plan. From this diversity will finally emerge the oneness of our creator. The morning will be an introduction for the impossible idea that all 70 nations are still speaking in a a post-Tower of Babel form of the biblical Hebrew of Gan Eden. In our global team of researchers, we called this human language program from Hashem Edenic. Our new science of Lashon Kodesh Kodesh and the sacred language called Edenics is only 30 years old with a few books and over 3,000 pages of documentation. So, we talk about the diversity of the 70 revealed to be from one source of biblical Hebrew. Here at the end of the days, we are moving to the ultimate oneness. More on this, the Torah sources for our thesis and the prognostication of Hebrews past and future. And in this video coming up, if you don't know how to play the Edenics game or understand how Edenics uh reveals the sources of all languages being sourced back to the original tongue, you should understand this by the end of the day. So, do we want to go to the slide presentation? Yeah. I want to move. I want to come back. Over here. Come on. Move your chair. Thank you. Thank you. Over here. There you go. Yeah. I want to go back to my seat. My first speech in my first Israeli Genesis, we have a team around the world working on this project, but the first one for me sir, we want to finally bring Hebrew to the Hebrew speakers. And they have a new above PowerPoint now. It's get it solved with narration. And uh we're we're called courageous outside. When will these start? And anybody interested in using Hebrew language program there in their community, we'll come to you and will you get in your or English or both. Or our friends or families or all the male ancestors wonderful people of the community. I have set up a big server program and when you have a question that you must ask, well, time permitting, plus get your question. I have we can do that and we have enough time. At the uh Ready? It was a party. It was your life. The language of the human mind. Shalom. I'm James D. Long. My wife Carol did the technical work behind this presentation. Our company Lightcatcher Books published The Origin of Species. My own book, The Riddle of the Exodus, documents the Exodus as an historical reality. The Edenics Project, led by Isaac Mozeson, attempts to verify the veracity of a crucial Genesis episode even farther back in the midst of our prehistory. The Tower of Babel is a myth, right? Keep your eyes and ears open. You're in for a surprise. How old is the idea that all humans spoke Edenic, which is most like biblical Hebrew? Well, Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden were factory-installed with this language program just over 5,700 years ago. This original mother tongue was scrambled into 70 languages that kept on breaking up at a tower in Shinar or Sumer. This site is later known as Babel. This traditionally happened in the year after the creation of man. Do the math. Scientists studying language and genetics have concluded that all people do come from one woman's genes. Just for fun, they call her Eve. Today's linguists finally accept the fact that the whole planet spoke one language. They call it Proto-Earth. Here on the screen at the top is that verse in Hebrew. It's okay if you can't read it. Everything in Edenics is put into keyed English letters, but you'll know how the Hebrew was spelled. In Hebrew, this verse sounds like "Vayehi kol ha'aretz safah achat u'dvarim achadim." In the book, you'll learn how to hear words like whole, Earth, speech, words, and each. Whether you're a rabbi, minister, priest, or atheist, a professor of Semitic studies, or someone who doesn't know an aleph from a bet, you have much to learn and enjoy about Edenics. This is pre-Jewish Back to Eden. We will learn how we are all cousins, how words from all languages are cognates, are related. In Edenics, we discover that language was engineered. Sound is sense. Music is meaning. Just as Adam and Eve carried the genes for all the later diversity of human population, every Edenic letter has a range of different sounds within that same part of the mouth. An intelligent designer made this original language system to be very versatile and to be spun off into all African, Asian, European, and Native American languages. The aleph can be any vowel. The bet can shift to any lip letter or bilabial. The gimel can be heard as any throat letter or guttural. The dalet is normally like D, but it can become the other tooth letter or dental. The lamed is like L, but in another language, it can slide over to the other tongue letter or liquid. Mem and nun, M and N, are interchangeable nose letters or nasals. Zion, sonic, tsadi, and shin are whistling letters or fricatives. All human words are made up of these seven letter sounds, just like every song is from do, re, mi, fa, so, la, and ti. Shoresh is the identic word for root or source. Can you hear source in shoresh? One of the reasons why our scholars missed finding the identic roots in all words, besides disrespect for a silly old Bible story, is because words usually disguise their roots with prefixes before them and suffixes after them. Even when we get irregularity down to regular, many people wouldn't think of identic ragil, meaning regular. So, even the AR at the end isn't the subroot of two or usually three letters. What happens when faith becomes a routine? Well, then religion becomes too regular. We'll soon see how letters can shift locations, not just sounds. So, religion is from ragil, too. Do you like chemistry or botany or physics? The creator of our identic language created all these sciences. Consider the formula XY + YZ = XYZ. XY is our first subroot. It is peh resh in peri, a fruit or botanical product. YZ, our second subroot, is the resh het in rayach, a scent or smell. Is no a chemical formula or poetic haiku than fay resh het ferak or flower. It conveys at once the sense that it is a botanical product and that every fruit is a flower first, combined secondly with the idea that there is a scent or smell. And this information is encoded in just three letters. Most Edemic words have a two-letter subgroup and a letter before it or afterwards that differentiates it from its built-in synonyms and antonyms. Back in the year 2005, it was thought that there were only several of these double root words, but now it appears that there are dozens. Some of these are found in the Edemics CD number three. Most are a bit complicated, so kelev, dog, provides an easy example. If you know cats and dogs, you are aware that dogs are all emotion. In Edemics, that's cole, or all, plus lev, heart. They will courageously face certain death to protect their master, and their loyalty is legend. The YZ, or second element here, the lamed bait, is most important in wolf words like lobo, lupus, and the LV in wolves. The Hebrew wolf word, ze'ev, did not appear among the world's words for wolf. The word kelev did. This earlier term for canine, kelev, was better called Edemic and not Hebrew. On Noah's ark, there might have been only one pair of canines. The Adamic canine and his lovely had all the genes for later foxes, hounds, wolves, jackals, and the thousands of later breeds. The same story with human and human words, Edemic words. There is a large chapter devoted to word families in the origin of speeches. On the left, there is a memnon or mn family of amounts. Backwards or forwards, mn or nm allows you to follow the money and to link amount with number. In Iditic, mean from the larger amount is the ultimate source for words like minus and many. Iditic is the ultimate source, no matter what language is an English word is from. Moon is from Greek mona. Mona means to count in Iditic. People counted time by checking the sky many moons ago. On the right is a word family built on shin, pay, lamed or spl. The two letter subgroup here is pay lamed as in naphal, to fall. If you fall in a test, you fail. We fall asleep. We also slip and swam into slumber. A word that denotes as spl or slp or have an added n or an m in the way, the message remains the music and the sense is in the sound. There are only four or five easy principles to learn in Iditics. All of them are well known by the scholars who know that French and Italian are sisters of mother Latin, but nobody applied these to a Semitic language like Hebrew. The first principle is letters shifting sounds within their range. Lip letters, tooth letters, tongue letters, remember? Well, I've more on that at slide number 13. Can you hear the lip letter or bilabial in avail, to mourn? Shift from v to w to allow for words like wail and that mourning bird we call for another reason, an owl. Can you hear the nose letter or nasal in ilan, shade tree? Shift to m to allow for that shade tree we now call an L. Can you hear the tone letter or liquid in har, a mountain? Shift to L to allow for the word hill. Yes, we can now use mountain and hill for different sizes of topographical swellings. Idinics helps you to see similar patterns and not to be as uncreative as a dictionary or certain types of teachers. Speak out. Then bat, which is to kick or strike out at in idinic. There is also a whole chapter documenting nasalization in English and other languages. English got the word bamboo from Malay in Asia. This hollow reed is the abu in the Bible. That's another bait bait or bee bee reed word like papyrus and paper. Again, the extra N in bamboo is from abu, any reed or tube. You know about letter shifts, so you can probably hear a pipe or fife or oboe. Arabic is an old Semitic language, but is it as old as idinic? The idinic khazeer, a pig, became the Arabic khanzeer, a pig. Older idinic and even later Hebrew doesn't nasalize words from any language. There's another chapter demonstrating how two of the three consonant letters of a root can swap places. This is called metathesis. Remember spill and slip? Our dictionaries can't see that the SPC in spectators, speculate, or spectacles are the same as the in microscopes and telescopes. The experts are far too skeptical in their view, their view of anything in the Bible to consider how all these variations can come from sheen, koof, pay, shakaf, to look or see. Inversions of the English or foreign word to resemble its edenic source is not surprising given that Western languages flow from left to right, while Semitic languages go from right to left. A lot of sound-alike letters are mirror images of each other, like gimel and K, tet and D, kaf and C, and resh and small R. Inversions involve letters swapping places, much like metathesis. This is far more common with short two-consonant letter words. Here's an example with a three-letter consonant word, daleth, bet, shin, devash. It means date honey, history's first sugar. Reverse the daleth, bet, shin to get SVD in English letters. Mild letter shifts get us to SWT. Sweet, isn't it? Instead of the alphabet, borrowed from aleph-bet, here are English and Hebrew letters arranged by the part of the mouth used to make the sounds. Here are the interchangeable lip letters or bilabials. The interchangeable throat letters or gutturals. The interchangeable tooth letters or dentals. The interchangeable tongue letters or liquids. The interchangeable nose letters or nasals. And the interchangeable whistling letters, the sibilants or fricatives. There is a seventh branch in our menorah of diversity, the apparently divine brain disturbance that created our 70 original language and national groups. That seventh branch involves the interchangeable vowels. Even in different neighborhoods of the same city, these vowels are pronounced differently. The well-established rules of letter shifting are called Grimm's laws. But the medieval French Bible commentator Rashi wrote about this and made this observation many centuries before the brothers Grimm. Nasalization involves the nose letters or nasals. And we touched on these a few slides ago. And perhaps you're now noticing how often an N or M appears out of thin air, which is not there in the word's original Yiddish form. Nasalization is always easy to pick up, and it helped disguise the Yiddish origin of words. The most common English word is and. And odd, odd means further or in addition. The source of the word add. But scholars didn't figure out that and was a nasalized add, also from odd. And this slide shows how a kale, bend, is behind nasalized words like angle, Anglia, England, and English. Nasalization is so natural that even the original form of Jack and Jacob, Yaakov, got pronounced Yankev and Yankl by some European Jews. Here's a list of Yiddish words. I'll tell you the meanings and you see if you can come up with the nasalized English word before the correct answer appears. Antik means very old. Abub is a hollow reed or pipe. Dats is to leap in joyous exultation. Hakeh is is look forward to something. Nofit is a flirt adulteress. Rakats is to wash. Shut is to rub or polish. Shuak is the leg or thigh. Suak is to bend down, the source of sack. Safak is to slap or clap. Resh Ayin is either ra or rad, which is mistranslated as evil. Idinik resh allows for WR in English. Now, here's an interactive game with metathesis, where letters from the Idinik origin have switched places. From the column of English words on the left, beseech to beg for, lines up with the Idinik bakash to request. Dark lines up with kadar, black or sad. Degree lines up with darga, a step or gradation. Halt lines up with hadal to cease or stop. Grid lines up with gader, a fence, a similar grating or perimeter barrier of vertical lines. One often has to be creative to see these links a millennia later. Market lines up with makher to sell. Tinker, which is now more about fiddling with something, but a professional tinker would repair broken household items. So, it lines up with tikun to repair, the source of technology. Some quick minds in the audience may have easily gotten all of these right, so give them a prize. I mean, a prize. Speak out. You're too Jim Warner. Thank you for the donation. Do what? Thank you for the donation. Well, thank you for all your knowledge. Thank you. Thank you. Uh I think obviously a very amazing a gentleman who literally lost his entire ability to speech years to speech years ago. And Hashem has restored his speech and just like he's restoring the pure speech for all humanity. And thank you very much, Isaac. That's why I'm such a big fan of this man. Okay. Uh as I said, you know, we're we're kind of doing this the first time. So, if it's a little clunky, forgive us, but I think you know, I think we're we're doing pretty good so far. We have I'm going to be up against a lunch break. So, all you got to do is if I'm, you know, dragging, just just do this and I'll I'll wrap up, you know, munch you. So, I'm going to try to present to you I put together a little talk. And um as I said, I've been I do documentaries and I make films also addition to being a publisher. And the the riddle of the Exodus is what I've mainly done. I've also done a documentary about the work of my mentor, Vendyl Jones, which is called The Treasures of the Copper Scroll. I'm working on two more documentaries and a a couple of feature films. One is about Esther and the Megillah because I believe that the research that I've done with some other gentleman shows us exactly who Esther is in Persian history. That's to whet your appetite a little bit. That's another talk. But basically, I'm also working on a a book and a documentary about the Tower of Babel. And this is going to be a little clunky because I'm uh not having access to a printer last night, I'm I'm left to my own devices, literally. So, I'm going to be uh this is my notes, and then over here is is my slides. And uh if it gets a little unwieldy, I'll just ignore the slides and just keep, you know, telling you about it. But I want to take from where uh Isaac talked about what happened at the Tower of Babel. And I want to talk about, you know, the fact that how humanity has continually failed, you know, Hashem has let the rest of humanity experiment with this world that he created. You know, we're all of us are we're co-creators with Hashem. And uh some of us are doing right, some of us aren't doing it correctly, but every time we really get it wrong, he has to clean the slate. And so, this happened at Babel. Even though even though even though Nimrod and his people thought they were doing the right thing, they were actually doing Hashem's work in a way. It's It's It always reminds me of the story of uh Hashem had said had decreed that Egypt would be the ones that would mold the people of Israel into these this amazing nation that became Israel, but uh they were to they were to oppress and to enslave the 12 tribes. But Hashem would If he he would say to them after it happened, "You took it too far. You enjoyed it too much. You went way too far." So, this is what happened at Babel. The the nations were supposed to coalesce, and then they were supposed to spread apart. And as Hashem said after the first creation with Adam and Eve, he said, "You know, disperse uh and multiply and and cover the earth." Well, they didn't want to do that cuz a guy named Nimrod thought he had a better idea. And we know from from the oral tradition that Nimrod's much of his power, he believed, was derived from these special garments that he got through what? Through robbery. And we know that if we look back to the origin of those garments that were fashioned by Hashem as from skins for for Adam and Eve. And really the fall of the tower can be traced back, its roots go back to the first fall in in Gan Eden. And and as a Noahide, I used to wonder, you know, people my my friends that were in the the other religious realms would say to me, "Jim, I can't find the seven laws stated in the Torah." And I said, "Fine. You know what? You need to first of all, and this is a hurdle that I and many Noahides had to overcome, is we had to learn about the value of the oral tradition. And and you you all know this, you can't read the Torah and fully comprehend it unless it's read in concert with the oral Torah. We know many of the mitzvot, you don't understand them, we don't know how to fulfill them properly or you don't unless you're you're told how to lay tefillin, and how to shecht an animal. It just says, "Do this." But there's no instructions. We know that even even the the phylacteries that are worn today, they found a pair of them at Qumran 2,000 years old and they're made just like the ones that you wear today. Again confirming the oral tradition. So, I went back to study this and I after as a as a as an early adopter of the Sheva Mitzvot, I began to look into where these laws might be found in your Torah, and I went to back to Genesis and back to the commands given to Adam and Eve. And the fact that they were told not to do certain things, and the fact that they were told not to eat of the tree of of good and evil. And the the fact that they were told to propagate the idea that you're you're supposed to have children. If they had suddenly decided they weren't going to identify as male and female anymore, Just say we wouldn't be here today. Right? Little political statement there. Um so we know that also that that that Adam named the animals. He understood their essence and he gave us those names and then when you study genetics, you see where what Adam saw in these animals and gave them their names. When he saw a dog, he saw an animal that wore its heart on its paw. They don't have sleeves. So basically, this is where the name came from. So we also see that that uh Adam couldn't find a partner. And so Hashem brought him Eve after after fashioning Eve. That's also to tell us that there is a distinct separation between the the beast of the field and humanity. And that is further that is further demonstrated in the offerings made in Beit Hamikdash, in the temple. So when you read through uh the story of Gan Eden and their expulsion and we get down to the story of the Mabul, the flood coming, we know from the oral tradition and we know also implicitly that by the time of the Mabul, humanity was literally ignoring the first six laws given to Adam and Eve in Gan Eden because robbery was rampant, sexuality of the most immoral kind was rampant, murder, thievery, all of it. And really, when you look at it, it says the whole world was filled with robbery. And and all of the Sheva Mitzvot really are based on the idea of of what happens when theft is allowed to run rampant. Murder is theft of life. Rape is theft of a woman's life, etc. So robbery is what led to the Mabul and we know that that that Noah went into the Tevah and they sealed it up, the rains came. This is they did they did this after 7 days and why 7 days? Because they set shiva for his grandfather Methuselah. Okay, so the flood comes and they come out of it and when they when Noah comes out of the teva, he makes an offering and it says in in the Torah it says it's a sweet savor for Hashem. Again, understanding the idea that the offerings are pleasing to Hashem. And Rabbi uh Raphael uh Samson Hirsch was one of my favorite commentators. Um he said of the of the sacrifice given that the I'm sorry, the offering given by Noah uh Rabbi Hirsch says that for Noahides were and are permitted to offer only pure animals. Thus, Jews are permitted to eat only those animals that are fit to be offered by all men. The table of Israel and the altar of the Noahides stand on the same level. And he gets this by the way from tractate Zevachim 115. And of course, after the flood uh Hashem says to Noah, he says uh of the of the animals that the blood uh he says, "But flesh with its soul, its blood you shall not eat." Then coming is there is the seventh law. The the seventh mitzvot, which of course is ever men high, don't eat the the limb of a living animal. And of course, he also Hashem reinstated the idea of courts of justice by saying, "Whoever in mankind sheds the blood of man, I will require that man sheds your blood." Basically, reinstating the idea that there are courts that will adjudicate these these capital crimes and even even capital punishment if it if we look at it in that plain light. So, after the flood they traveled to the plain called Shinar, which we know today as Sumer. And if you don't believe that, read the description of the first one of the first nations called called in in the scholarly realm, it's called uh the Sumerians. It comes from Shinar. And this very charismatic renegade, Nimrod, arises taking these garments that were fashioned from for Adam and Eve, stolen by uh Ham, given to Cush. He gives them to Nimrod. Nimrod puts them on. He becomes a mighty warrior. So much so that we can even see him in the characters of like uh Hercules. Her- Hercules is probably most likely remembrance of the the exploits of Nimrod. And if we look if we use uh Edenics, and we um we want to um see where that name why he's called that whether whether there's there's a controversy in the in the Talmud as to whether Nimrod was really his name or if it was a corruption of his name purposely in the Torah because you're not you're commanded not to speak or write the name of an idol. And one of the one of the rabbis says, "Well, it was his name." And another rabbi says, "Well, I think it was uh a corruption of his name." And I I kind of wonder if it isn't really a corruption of the name so his real name he wouldn't you know, become famous, if you will. So, what we do is we look in history to find out whether uh there really was a Nimrod and and thanks to the study of Edenics, I believe that we we can find three or four figures that either uh they're they're really either all three Nimrod basically because he's regarded differently by different cultures or that uh they're either a descendant of Nimrod. I I'm at the level right now I haven't made up my mind, but I think that all three of these personages probably are Nimrod. Okay? And um of course his name comes from the Hebrew Nimrod, which means to rebel. So, we have Nimrod, and we have the English word marauder. And um we know that uh when he rebelled, he had he was led this rebellion that had one simple motive. The one simple motive was to come, let us build a city and a tower with its top to heaven, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the earth. Right away showing you they've forgotten the promises of Hashem. Um Hashem said that I'm not going to destroy the earth anymore, you know? And it's it's important to remember that he said he I want to make we should make a name for ourselves. They want to be heroes. All right? And this is a very important point in the Torah that this is brought up because in Genesis in Bereishit chapter 10, it's also time that we encounter the word And Nimrod, interestingly enough, the description in the Torah is it says he's mighty. He's a gibor. He's mighty before the Lord. That word appears exactly three times in this narrative in chapters 10 and 11, three times. Three times tells us in the Torah that that he was mighty. It underscores that. But, I'm wondering if it's also an allusion or a hint of the three agendas that drove the building of the Tower of Babel. Because basically, we know that they were the people were united in building this tower and building this city. And they but they all they each had they were united in building it, but they they there were three groups of people that had three different agendas. All right? And the uh we we read the agendas from the oral tradition, but I quickly want to run over here and get my book. Where is over here? And uh this is not a shameless plug for my book, but if you want to buy it, I won't argue with you. Um basically, what we talk about in the book is the idea of why there were three groups. And I believe the three groups were the religious faction, the uh political faction, and the military faction. All right? And um we have the uh religious faction, one group representing the religious people. Let's say, "Let's build the tower to reach to the heavens." They may have even believed that they were doing the work of God, but it was their image of Hashem, not not the true image. They saw a being who would never judge or execute judgment, certainly nothing like a global flood. Their favorite phrase was likely, quote, "My God would never do that." It was in their at the heights of this edifice that they would build a place of worship to a deity who represented their own values, not Torah values. The politicians were the other camp. All right? They said, "Let us make a name for ourselves and foster the so-called progressive ideology." They viewed with contempt anyone who believed in the invisible creator. And they accused the faithful of slowing humanity from moving forward and progressing. The tower politicos wanted to jettison what they considered pre-flood old world thinking. The tower allowed them to their military superiority by literally holding the highest ground, which of course was an illusion. It was buttressed by their boast that they would storm heaven, make war on the creator. This could be achieved by subjugating and if need be annihilating anyone who believed in Hashem. And the third group of people united with these others were the scientific community of that day. The scientific community whose aim was to to bring the scattered abroad over the face of the earth, and it was their contention that since the flood occurred 1656 years ago at the after the birth of Adam, it was surely a cyclical a cyclical event. That's simply all it was. God didn't bring it about. They they didn't even think there was a god because science didn't prove it to them. All right, the tower would serve as protection from that catastrophe that would arrive in another 1656 years. So, this was the common character trait of the people at the tower. They forgot Hashem. They forgot his promises. Except for the religious folks, but they as we said they wanted to fashion Hashem in their their particular their image. Now, if we have time, we're going to talk about can we find Nimrod and his minions can we find them in history? Well, interestingly enough in the Sumerian Kings List and again we're thinking of Shinar is is Simra is is Shinar and Sumeria are exactly the same thing. I'm reading from this list. It says after the this is not from the Torah. This is from the Sumerian Kings List which which lists kings before the flood and after the flood. It literally mentions a worldwide flood. It says after the flood swept over the kingship descended from the tower and the kingship was in Kish. I sometimes wonder if academics By the way, I'm not anti-academic. I'm I'm anti-dishonest academia. Okay, and I sometimes wonder if the academics don't purposely misspell these ancient names because as we've seen from Edetics and you may or may not realize this ancient Hebrew was not the only language that that had no vowels in it. All ancient languages were consonantal. If you read Egyptian hieroglyphs from the Old Kingdom, they have no vowels. And so, when you read the name of a pharaoh from the Old Kingdom period, especially, the the the vowels are educated guesses. For instance, the the pharaoh that that I believe is the the pharaoh of the of the oppression, the one who enslaved the Israelites, is a person in history who's called Pepi the second. The The E is a guess. He could be Poopy the second. And I can say that about him cuz he wasn't a nice guy, okay? So, we have here we have the 13th king after the flood was called Etana. And it describes him as a shepherd who ascended into heaven and consolidated all foreign countries. He may be Nimrod. We're not sure. We go to the next slide. Sorry about the clunkiness of this, but it's amazing in this day and age that I can even use my cell phone to do this. You know, and I'm sure it's Israeli technology somewhere. Yes, ma'am? So, they don't have straight your mind. Oh, we'll do that. We'll talk about that afterwards. I I don't want to If I talk too long, we won't be eating lunch, and I don't want to deprive you of lunch, okay? So, anyway, we have here we have figures that could be I believe they they either all represent Nimrod or they represent Nimrod and his his descendants, even though they all really do sound like him. We have Narmer, Naram-Sin, and Enmerkar, and we have Nimrod. You Those of you already familiar with the Edenics, and those of you who've watched and learned today how we we use Edenics to trace languages, you see already the how familiar these all these names look when we use the consonantal uh aspect of it, and we forget we forget the uh, the the vowels. So, we have Narmer, Naram-Sin, Enmerkar, and then you have Nimrod. And the um, again, this is the this is the verse right here that where we see the word mighty appear three times. And it says of Nimrod, "The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Akkad, and Calneh." And we can see the the Babylonian empires that springs from that. Erech, of course, sounds like Iraq today. It also sounds like the ancient city-state with that was called Uruk. And then we have Akkad, which of course, we have the Sumerian when then we have the Akkadian empire. So, this is consistent with what we find in the Torah. All right? And I want to talk uh, a little bit about a figure who's called Narmer. This is the Narmer Palette. If you go to the Cairo Museum, you'll see this on display. This is one of my favorite artifacts in the Cairo Museum. I have a friend who creates replicas of art of Egyptian artifacts. She lives in Egypt and um, her people are so talented that some of the artifacts that she created to send to exhibits uh, it set up exhibits of ancient Egypt and they don't have to take the artifacts out of the Cairo Museum, they can show these replicas. One of the people that works for her is so good, he was arrested for antiquities theft. This is true. And it turned out it was a it was a replica. If you see my if you see my uh, documentary, The Riddle of the Exodus, you'll see an image of Ramesses the Great of the mummy. They you can see the mummy in the Cairo Museum. He's sleeping. No, not really. Okay. So, anyway, by the way, he wasn't Ramses was not killed in a in a he wasn't drowned. He died of a dental infection, by the way. We actually know that already. So, anyway, this is in the Cairo Museum and and my friend actually made a copy of these and I wanted so badly to buy them for $3,000. A little out of my price range. But, as you see here, we have this figure over on the left-hand side of the image. This is the back and the front. And you you have them you know, holding their enemies at bay. And up in the top of the of the pallet, we have these serekhs, which which gives the what we would what we today would call the initials of the name. They're not really the initials, they're the they're the glyphs that tell that this person is called M N M M R. And that's all we know. And they call him Narmer. And Narmer, this was made during a time called the Predynastic Period. This is before Egypt actually became a nation. And the reason this is so interesting is because you see the cattle at the top, and you see the crown of of Egypt, one of the crowns he's wearing. And this is like this is like the template for all iconography for pharaohs after that. They would always show the upraised the heroes. And what's interesting is one of the symbols for Narmer is up here is a catfish. They don't know why. Okay? But, I believe, this is my theory, the reason I believe that they have a catfish is because because this Narmer is showing his connection to the pre-flood people, the people who survived the flood. So, um and the the cows and the cattle are very interesting iconography because the uh from the Old Kingdom period when we started the first couple of dynasties of Egypt the the pharaoh was always deified as a bull or a cow. Now, I believe that you know, when you when you read when you look at an academic treatise on the the pharaohs were told that the word pharaoh comes from great house. It means great house. I don't believe that. Because if you read any of the history of the languages the early language of Egypt you'll find out that not surprisingly there's a lot of it's it's Semitic based. And if you look at at Old Kingdom languages, guess what the Old Kingdom word in Egyptian is for house. It's bait. So the to to say that pharaoh means great house, I don't believe that. What I do believe is is that pharaoh comes from a joining because the word pharaoh as you know is spelled pay I'm. Okay? So it's pay I'm and then a hay. So you have either the mouth of evil or you have for the Egyptians it may be the mouth of the god Ra. Because if you look at the word Ramesses in the Torah, Ramesses is spelled Raish I'm. It also could it also could mean because because sometimes the the culture will will say a word and it means one thing for them and they may spell it differently. If you look at the story of the mound that was built by Yaakov and his father-in-law Laban when they finally made peace. Laban called the mound the memorial mound. He called it one word and Yaakov called it a different word. And the difference is in the way that they're spelled at the end. So let me get past this. And we now go to that's the glyph with the catfish in it. And also on the palate you see these these strange animals with the necks that go up and then you have up at the top this is interesting because these are the same animals. This is from a Sumerian seal. This is from Egypt. And the reason this is important is because it shows you the deep connection between Sumeria, Akkad, that whole fertile crescent and ancient Egypt. This is a wonderful document, right? This is called the Naram-Sin inscription and I want to read to you from the inscription. How we doing on time? We're okay. Um the Naram-Sin inscription um describes an expedition of Naram-Sin, a conqueror who slew Armanum and Ebla, which is Aramea and Ebla with the weapon of the god Dagon, the fish god. Some some say it's he's a god of wheat. Uh near Aram-Naharaim and Ebla. And it says he was the founder of the Akkadian Empire and the first to unify the whole of Mesopotamia. The Akkadian Empire appears to have reached its height during the period of his rule. The inscription actually says Naram-Sin, mighty king of the four quarters of the earth who subdued nine armies in one year. He brought them before the god and on that day his son, the governor of Marad, built the temple of Lugal-Marad. Lugal is an ancient word for the ruler or the king. And it's interesting it says his son Marad. We know from the oral tradition that the son of Nimrod was called Mardan, which linguistically again is is very close. Uh now we have the Naram- Sin victory stele. This is in the Louvre in Paris. All right? Again, we have the we have the uh you know, maybe maybe the idea was that that Nimrod was a little bullheaded. I don't know. So, you can laugh if you want to. You don't have to. Um but we have again the idea of the bull is is is continued in this figure. And he's said to be scaling the the mountains of of Zagros. I I don't know. It looks like a tower to me. And um he considers himself on equal footing with the gods as he stands before this so-called mountain. And the inscriptions is preceded with a divine determinative. Uh Naram-Sin pushed back the frontiers of the empire farther than they'd ever been pushed from Ebla in Syria to Susa in Elam, which became Persia. Led his army where no other king had gone before him, and he now appears as a universal monarch proclaimed by his official title, the king of the four regions, namely, he was the king of the whole world. Sounds like one of the usual suspects to me. All right. Now, interestingly enough, this figure, it says, "In spite of his spectacular reign, which was considered the height of the Akkadian empire, remember Nimrod's beginning was Akkad was one of the places named. There's There is a uh a literary text that survives that time. It's from the dynasty of Ur. It's called the curse of Agade, a g a d e, which is also the name of It's another way of saying Akkad. And the curse tells of the destruction of a great city, the great city of Akkad, by the gods because of the king's impious act. The king was Naram-Sin. And finally, we have Enmerkar. Okay. Oh, that's too close. Well, we're going go back to it. Oh, it will don't Close your eyes. Don't look at that. Anyway, uh let me tell you about Enmerkar. He's an ancient Sumerian and it can you By the way, can you see the constant of letters of Nimrod embedded in that name Enmerkar? All right. He was the He was supposed to be a hero who was the king of Uruk, okay? Or in the Torah, Erech. And he lived uh a long time ago. Um along with Lugalbanda and Gilgamesh, Enmerkar is one of three significant figures in surviving Sumerian epics. The late Professor Samuel Noah Kramer was one of the leading Assyriologist of his day and he said that constant comparisons of Sumerian literature with the Bible is by no means accidental. And in one of his most famous translations, he speaks of a saga called Enmerkar and the Lord of Aratta. Ararat? And he speaks of a tower being built by this personage. And he says, I'm reading from the text of this ancient list, "The whole universe, the well-guarded people, may they all address God together in a single language. For the ambitious lords, for the ambitious princes and kings, the lord of abundance shall change the speech in their mouths as many as he had placed there so that all of speech of mankind is truly one." That's from an ancient Assyrian text. Now, this person, of course, we've all heard of Hammurabi. What was Nimrod called after the fall of the tower? It's in your Torah. You remember what he was called? Abraham Avinu chased him and three other kings in a great battle that and it when it whenever Lot was was uh kidnapped one of the one of the four kings that Avram Avinu went after was Amraphel of Shinar. And all of the oral traditions say that Amraphel is the other name or title given to Nimrod after the fall. Of course, the name comes from it's it's making fun of him. It comes from rophel, which means to fall. And what which they say that he basically made the people fall. And Hammurabi is called the subduer on this This is the Code of Hammurabi we've all read about. And by the way, it's it's extolled with some virtues by scholars because this is supposed to be the earliest example of a king who instituted a code of law for the ancient world. That's fine until you read the laws of Hammurabi. They weren't exactly the kindest, most humanitarian laws. If you hid an escaped slave, you were put to death. If you stole, you were put to death. So, the you know, they weren't the nicest laws in the world. Um he was called Hammurabi was called the greatest ruler of Babylon's first dynasty. All right, if you look at his name, we're told by uh scholars that uh Amraphel's name should actually be pronounced Hammurapi. Again, applying identics, can you see how we can easily take Hammurapi and to and and it literally translates to Amraphel with the the uh the aleph, the mem, and the pe. And of course, the uh um Well, I'll change that. I haven't got time. I got about 5 minutes. So, what we'll do is we'll quickly look and I'm also going to I'm also going to throw a monkey wrench in the idea that ancient Babel of the Nimrod's Babel was in present-day Iraq. The reason that they say this is because they think that some of the ziggurats there actually are the remains of the Tower of Babel if there was one. The problem with that is it doesn't work with the text of the Bible. We're told that after the flood they dispersed and they traveled from the east. The problem with that is is that this is Mount Ararat and this is Iraq and this is where ancient Babel of Nebuchadnezzar's day was located, okay? But they're saying the Babel of the Bible, if there was a tower, was down here. You're not traveling from the east, you're traveling deeper into the east. And the other thing that's interesting to me is if you're going to find a plane and you're going to you're going to build a brand new empire after the flood, why don't you go where the Sumerians went? And if the Sumerians are the people of Shinar, then you'll go to you won't go here, you'll go here. Of course, this is the end of it. This is the fertile crescent. This is where humanity is supposed to have begun. It's consistent again with what we find in the Torah. So, if you look there, what's also interesting is that when you look at Iraq and and and what is considered, if you believe in the Tower of Babel story, if you look here, there are no mentions anywhere of Abraham Avenu. Nothing. No text, nothing. Now, this is not exactly text, but it's it's kind of close. Let me show you something. Let's go to southern Turkey. All right? If you go to southern Turkey, I've zoomed in to southern Turkey near the border of Syria. I want to show you that we have a place here called Sanliurfa. It used to be called Ur. They now call it Sanliurfa. But originally it was called Ur. Where was Where was Abraham Avinu from? Ur of Kasdim. Look here. He had a Was it his uh grandfather, Serug? Or his uh great-grandfather. Anyway, Serug. You have Haran. Over here you have I I think I left it off the map. They have They have uh Oh, they have Mardin, which would be the name of course of the son of Nimrod. And up here at the very top, where I have the arrow, is a massive mound. And it's a It's a big tourist site. It's called Nemrut Dağ. Nimrod's Mount. It's 50 mi from Sanliurfa. So, keeping all that in mind, if Is there Is there a hint of of Abraham Avinu? If you If you visit there today, you'll see the the the Muslims have built a site where they visit the cave where Abraham spent his youth as a child. So, there's uh This is the cave where the prophet Ibrahim was born. We all know the Everybody know the story of when Abraham was born? It's in It's in all of the the uh the oral traditions. It's in the Seder Olam Rabbah and Sefer haYashar. I think Pirkei De Rabbi Eliezer talks about it. Pirkei De talks about it. Mayam L'Olam speaks of it that his his birth was foretold by the astrologers and that Terah, his father, who was a prince in the army of Nimrod, Terah is is uh says, "My astrologers Nimrod's speaking. "My astrologers say you've got a kid in your household just born and he's going to destroy my empire. I want I want you to bring the kid to my to my palace. And so, Tara goes back to the house and there's also a newborn baby born to one of his servants. He takes the newborn baby from the servants, takes it back to Nimrod, and Nimrod takes the baby and slams its head against the wall. Thus thinking he's put an end to Abraham Avenu. And of course, later we have the whole story of the fire where Nimrod be he he challenges Nimrod because what happened is we know the story. It's a wonderful story where Abraham comes back after after spending years probably with Noah and Avere. Maybe maybe it's spot. And he's learned more about his heritage. And he basically comes back and he he he's he comes back and his dad by now has set up a little side business of making idols and selling them to the populace. And we know the story. He goes in and he he he chops up all of the idols except except for one, and he puts the ax in the hands of the idol that's remaining, and his dad comes back and says, "What?" And he says, "The idol did it." And and his father says, "That's ridiculous. It never speaks. It never moves." And he goes, "Aha. Check it check it out." So, his father's so angry, he drags Abraham to the king. They try to put Nimrod in the fire. He survives the fire. Nimrod drops to his knees. Basically, Abraham says, "Get up, Nim. It's okay." Uh and he basically he leaves after that. But, this side here and this is just for your edification. It's not I don't mean to if I believe it, but it's interesting that these people who have who he keep him as a prophet also. This is a this is a a large um it's a pool full of carp, by the way. And they're sacred. You can't catch them and eat them, so they keep propagating. Basically, this is supposed to have been the pit that Avraham Avinu was thrown in and that Hashem turned it into a lake and turned all the logs of the fire into carp. So, what I'm trying to do is I'm just trying to show you that that there is a that the that there is this idea of Avraham Avinu who is is basically uh connected to that region at least if nothing else at least by way of of legends and by by beliefs. I'm not saying it's proof. I'm saying maybe it's evidence. So, let me let me wrap all this up for you. Um and I'll take this off so it won't distract cuz I love to look at pictures and you probably do, too. So, let me wrap it up right now with this. Don't we? Pardon? Terah and Turkey. Oh, uh yeah, I'm sorry. Thank you, Isaac. That's the best one. Terah. Yeah, what we were showing you names of the places. Well, Terah may be where the name Turkey came from. Because there is a mound There is a mound in in one of the uh that was found I can't remember where it was now, but it's called it's called uh um in in Turkish, it means the mound of of Terah. And I once looked into the idea of where did Turkey get its name, and it gets its name from an ancient people that were called the Terahki. You know. So, the idea is is that Terah is also connected to the southern southern region of of of Turkey. Now, I'm a Noahide. I'm standing before you what is the third day of of uh Sukkot. When I'm back in Arkansas, I build my little Arkan-sukkah. And uh but I'm here because I love to be here during Sukkot cuz Sukkot just fills me with so much joy to be in any city in the world and to watch a people who are observing what God told them to do, and you can't turn your face anywhere and not see a sukkah is is just it makes my it makes me shiver. It's amazing. So, when Isaac asked me to join this, I thought, "Well, you know, maybe maybe I can kind of tie in with what he's talking about with Bobel because I am doing research into it. By no means am I I'm still developing it. But, it occurred to me that there's a very real connection between all of this because we know that um one of the things that we look at is the connection between uh sukkot and the the end times that that we know from the prophets that what will happen is that all of the people of the nations will come up to Jerusalem and will take part in sukkot. There'll be offerings, there'll be joy, there'll be lots of fun. Uh a lot of barbecue going on, holy barbecue by the way. And uh that's what I that's what much of the temple offerings are, most of them, not all of them, but the thing is is that, you know, my our ancestor, Noah, was your ancestor, too. You know, he he made that offering coming out of the tebah. And yet it leads to this experience of building the tower when men came together and they wanted to build an edifice that would help them reject Hashem. And yet yet and every time every time they got down to ignoring the seven laws, you know why it took 40 years for Israel to get into the promised land? Hashem, there was a lot of problems with that they had to sort out, but they all it also took 40 years because Hashem in his mercy said, "Let's let the Amorites work out all their problems so by the time the 40 years pass, there won't be a Noahide left in the land of Canaan. I'm not going to send my people in there. In fact, that was the criteria. Any of them could have stayed if they kept the Sheva Mitzvot. Because because God does not let humanity stay on any plot of ground if they're going to literally ignore all seven laws because they will corrupt the earth, okay? So, what happens is we have right after the story of the fall, we have Avraham Avinu coming along. After the idea of nations is introduced, here comes Avraham Avinu immediately after the narrative. And what is he called? What is he told by Hashem? He's promised I will make of you a great religion. No. Well, I'll make of you what? A great nation. Hashem brings the the the cure, which is already been created, to our to the narrative and he says in within you, within your DNA, is the solution for humanity's ills. And so the the culmination of that is is that all the nations are going to come together, may it soon come speedily, all of us Noachides, we're going to come together and we're going to build not a tower, we made that mistake first, we're going to build what? The Temple. And my Rabbi, who's here today, who's involved in that, is I'm trying to help him in any way I can and I want you to help him. So, that's that's why I'm here is because I'm looking for that time when I've already I've already started. I'm seeing friends of mine. I'll close with this. We're already fulfilling Come over here, Aaron. Where are you Where are you Where is your tzitzit? They're tucked in. We're going to we're going to grab the corners of a Jew's garment and say, "Take me with you. I've seen that God is with you." Amen. Hotze ma'aseh. Hotze ma'aseh. One second, before we pray Asher, Asher, Asher, Asher, Asher, Asher, Asher, Asher, Asher, Asher, Asher, Asher, Asher, Asher,
