Ephraim play /ˈiːfriːəm/;[1] (Hebrew: אֶפְרַיִם/אֶפְרָיִם, Standard Efráyim Tiberian ʾEp̄ráyim/ʾEp̄rāyim) was, according to the Book of Genesis, the second son of Joseph and Asenath. Asenath was an Egyptian woman whom Pharaoh gave to Joseph as wife, and the daughter of Potipherah, a priest of On. (Genesis 41:50-52) Ephraim was born in Egypt before the arrival of the children of Israel from Canaan. (Genesis 48:5)
Ephraim had sons: Shuthelah, Beker, and Tahan. However, 1 Chronicles 7 claims that he also had two more sons, Ezer and Elead, who were killed by local men who came to rob him of his cattle. He then had another son, Beriah, who carried on his name. (1 Chronicles 7:20-23) From him was descended Joshua, son of Nun, who in time became the leader of the Israelite tribes in the conquest of Canaan. (1 Chronicles 7:20-27)
The only rule the gardener who goes by the name "Adam" was to acquire knowledge and by doing so became a threat to those beings. For this reason was kicked out of the garden. There was also the risk, that by acquiring knowledge he could have tried to eat from the Tree of Eternal Life and gain the long life span which is their characteristic (of the Elohim)

In his video lecture he brings up the part about Adam and Eve, and what seemed to really be in the scripture. First there didn't seem to be this inner morality, which is to me, not necessarily true, as the Spirit is what guides people when they go within, and its Presence is Tangible. However by the actual wording it seemed more along the lines of, once their children were self sufficient enough to recreate on their own, they were sent off on their own. He spoke in a term o that is like " you have the bike, so pedal".
So there didn't seem to be a judgment going on, possibly more of an expectation that they would reach this stage.

Also I've been slack, that part about NASA and the perfume laboratory, and the burnt meat offerings was very interesting. Need to find that and quote some of this.
Astronauts returning from lengthy spacewalks consistently report a strange odor that dances the lines between seared steak, piping-hot metal and arc welding smoke. To acclimate their astronauts to it during training, NASA has asked chemist Steve Pearce to reproduce this "smell of space." Credit: NASA

Very interesting thread.
My questions are for netkomm:
1. In an interview (the link was posted by the OP), Mr. Biglino makes reference to some renowned Sumerologists he had read. He mentions Kramer, Botero, Furlani, Poebel and Pettinato. What can you tell us about these men and the extent to which their findings/conclusions are supportive or consistent with (or, conversely, adverse to/inconsistent with) Mr. Biglino's translations?
2. In one of your posts you made this statement: "I do not advocate passive resistence". What do you mean by that? My confusion arises, in part, because of your other statements regarding importance of remaining neutral (your point was made by referring to "Switzerland").
3. Has Mr. Biglino translated The Book of Enoch?
Thank you for your posts.
The first English Bible was translated directly from the Latin Vulgate by a rogue monk named John Wycliffe and completed in 1382. The 1000-year time span (i.e between 382CE and 1382CE) is known as the Dark Ages. The masses were literally kept in the dark (ignorant) by the religious authorities of the time. But If you ask me... the only thing that as changed (today) are their methods.! However the debate among scholars continues regarding their origins. The original Torah (written in ancient pictographic Hebrew text) used to produce the Greek Septuagint no longer exists. However, the Jewish Bible, written in Masoretic Hebrew (i.e using the Aramaic alphabet); produced around the 7th centure CE does.
So the argument maintains; is the Greek Septuagint a direct translation of the most ancient pictographic Hebrew? Or is it a translation that contains Greek ideals (non-existent in the Hebrew original from which it came)? And to contrast that notion; Is the Masoretic Hebrew version representative of the ancient pictographic Hebrew? Or are its contents just as questionable?
Sometimes when elohim occurs as the referent or object (i.e. not subject) of a sentence, and without any accompanying verb or adjective to indicate plurality, it may be grammatically unclear whether gods plural or God singular is intended. An example is Psalm 8:5 where "Yet you have made him a little lower than the elohim" is ambiguous as to whether "lower than the gods" or "lower than God" is intended. The Septuagint read this as "gods" and then corrected the translation to "angels", which reading is taken up by the New Testament in Hebrews 2:9 "But we see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus".
It’s just a big, complicated, set of possibilities frozen in a single eternal moment.
However, there is still a kind of “time” that separates one freewill choice from the one that comes after, that separates your less wise self from your wiser self after having learned new lessons. It’s just that those lessons and choices don’t necessarily have to follow the stream of linear time from past to future. They can span different timelines, different lives, go forward and backward in time, alter the past, change the future, shift in the present, etc…
Think of time like a large library of DVDs. All those movies exist simultaneously. But only as mere possibilities. Maybe some friends of yours have rented a few an are playing them right now, while the rest sit on the shelf. But it’s you and your DVD player that creates a sequence of what is played for you. And you can play them in any order, rewind them, pause them, etc… though while watching them, time within the movie moves forward. Is the time in a movie real? No, the beginning, middle, and end are simultaneous, unless you’re a character in the movie then it’s real.

Well apparently the works being translated are the oldest Hebrew manuscripts of text, and what the bibles are based on, so for example, none of the Church's, not even the Catholic (and I would believe by extension not the Judaic or Muslim faiths that base off of this) can ignore what is there, and what is at least strongly suggested there, nor the real ufology buried in their scripts.
He has used the original language and literal translation. So its a very valuable work. And I'm reading this as well now.
