I 'read' four episodes, all subtitles, thats enough for me! I came away thinking......too vague, I don't know, it started to leave me thinking it was less than truthful. I'm not gonn'a watch all those episodes, and their difficult to read at that, and blaze by too quickly for comfortable reading, and I read a lot. I don't think he's translating this stuff right, at about the time of Moses, it gets real weird. I'm not buying this bunch of videos sorry.

man,thank you! ive been saying this for years! hebrew doesnt translate that well into english!
can't wait till i sink my teeth into these videos.i just wrote a piece about the geneology from adam to noah,according to a christian 'scholar',by using the english language to try to translate from the origional aramanic/ancient hebrew. man what he came up with was an easy story why jesus was here!
when i done some research on the 'most practical' english translation,i seen how he got his sales pitch to the 'flock". people have to realize that hebrew is not like english,and its not so straight foward.
i will get back to you with more,ok!
thanx for the post,and i wont give you a star,because somehow,i don't think that is too important to you!
peace & respect.

I find the fact that Moses had his face burnt when seeing God's Glory similar to the scene in Close Encounters where Richard Dryfus's face was burnt when he witnessed the ufo.

What is/are "MMS?" How do you translate Hebrew without inserting vowels? The language had vowels, you know, they didn't go around clicking consonants and glottal stops at each other all day. You have to insert vowels into the written language to translate it. You said "all three Abrahamic religions" used only consonants in their writing ... but I've seen the Greek New Testament, and I'm pretty sure it has written vowels, too. I recall something about an Alpha and an Omega. What's up with that? Is Christianity no longer an Abrahamic religion?edit on 19-1-2012 by FurvusRexCaeli because: (no reason given)

God is an alien? That's his amazing, earth-shattering conclusion? Talk about getting all worked up over nothing.
Half the people who visit this website already believe that God was some kind of alien, and they don't have to go back and re-translate original sources. They just go by what the Old Testament/Torah says in the accepted translations, or what people say in popular TV shows.
Either way, it still doesn't "prove" jack diddly. His goofy translation can be completely correct. But it's still just the interpretation of an event or symbol by somebody who interpreted (or completely imagined) something else, who then wrote it down, where it was then interpreted by a dozen other people. It's all 10th-hand telephone game knowledge that you can twist another 1,000 ways, if you want to.

Hebrew pretty much became a mixture of oral tradition and written tradition. They have no vowels in their written language, so throughout the centuries, the meanings and pronunciations of words have been kept by the oral tradition. That's why we don't actually know the true pronunciation of the word "YHWH", the name of God, because it was not allowed to be spoken. The original pronunciation has been lost. We inserted the vowels "a" and "e" to make "Yahweh", but for all we know it could be any of the other combinations of vowels instead.
I watched the first video, and it's fascinating, but I'm not sure how he knows he is translating the proper words. He has to insert vowels, too. How does he know he's putting the right ones in?

Besides, everybody knows that Billy Meier is actually the reincarnated Jesus (or so he says), and it would be too confusing for there to be more than one walking around.

Ok after watching the 3rd video (I will watch the rest) this guy is wrong. The God was a kind and loving person, that is why we are here. whoever this guy is on about is not god, but seems more like the devil in the 3rd video...
According to Meier’s own biographies he claims to have been arrested for assault, convicted, and sent to youth prison. Twice. The first was in 1951 and then again in 1953. After escaping from prison in 1953 he joined the French Foreign Legion. In 1955 he deserted from the French Foreign Legion, returned to Switzerland for prosecution, and was “institutionalized” for two years. After his release Meier began to travel throughout the Middle East as a day laborer. During these travels he claims to have engaged in the grave robbing of a site he claims to have been the tomb of Jesus Christ in 1963. Shortly afterwards he takes his first photos of “UFOs” while in India. In 1964 he is expelled from India on charges of vagrancy and shortly thereafter had his left arm amputated at the elbow because he was hanging it outside the window of a bus when the bus crashed. In 1967 he meets and marries Kalliope. In 1975 he founded the Freie Interessengemeinschaft fur Grenz- und Geisteswissenschaften und Ufologiestudien (aka Free Community of Interests for Fringe and Spiritual Sciences and Ufology), otherwise known as FIGU.
