In a very interesting text:
The Anunnaki history and role of
Reptilian ETs, Part 1 and Part 2, Sokolov states that Jesus
would have been a Yahweh agent, an agent provocateur of the colonial
Yahweh power. He is right about “agent provocateur”, but
not in the way he thinks.
My studies in the history of Christianity and
comparisons between the Old and New Testaments lead to a different
picture, which I wish to sketch here. He is also right about the fact
that Yahweh and the yahwists are controlling this
planet in a very negative way and that the Church is one of their
tools, as is to-day’s Christianity – but not the original
Christianity!
Let us start with the Old Testament.
I will make it short, but this is all according to what
is actually written in the Old Testament (see Bible references at the
end of this text [1]). The Hebrews wanted out of Egypt and
Yahweh – who I do
believe is an
Anunnaku (singular of
Anunnaki) who wanted to have
his own people to work for him as a split-off group (his own faction)
and for a power he could gradually extend – saw an opportunity to
have his own people here.
He, through Moses, offered to the Hebrews to
lead them out to a Promised Land. But they could have had it
easier, since the Pharaoh was willing to let them go, yet Yahweh wanted
to demonstrate his power and first have all his 10 plagues come over
Egypt. He was eager to
show his muscles and hardened the heart of Pharaoh to provoke a
fight about the issue. One of the plagues was to go through the land of
Egypt and kill all firstborn of men and animals, except among the
Hebrews.
As the history in the Bible shows,
this wasn’t necessary, but he wanted to have his cruel game as a
demonstration of his power.
When they finally came to the Promised
Land, people were living there in various towns. Yahweh ordered the
Hebrews to slaughter them all and not spare even an old man, a woman or
a child – so that they would have (Deut. 6:11)
“…houses
full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged,
which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou
plantedst not”.
When the inhabitants of a town wanted
to negotiate, he again hardened their hearts to force the conflict
he wanted to have as an excuse to make the Hebrews kill them all.
Occasionally only virgins were spared and caught as booty, and it would
be naïve to believe that it wouldn’t be for sexual
“services”.
These murderous robbing raids were a veritable holocaust!
Now Yahweh had his people. He was cruel, selfish and
revenging and severely punishing when it didn’t follow. The text
in the Old Testament doesn’t indicate that he knew what real love
is, but he rather loved fight and bloodshed.
Now we jump to the time 2000 years ago. Jesus
was born, an incarnation of Christ. Christ is actually
not a name but a designation, but we don’t know a real name for
him. Jesus was the name he was given after incarnating. He
began teaching and preaching in the Promised Land and with time
attracted lots of people. What he said and did was upsetting Yahweh,
since he told things that Yahweh’s people shouldn’t know.
His message was revolutionary and he revealed secrets.
Slowly, bit by bit. He talked about a love that Yahweh despised. He
talked about his “Father” in terms which gave a picture
very different from the one of Yahweh.
The “Father” is loving, caring, benevolent,
forgiving, contrary to
the qualities of Yahweh.
So the one
Jesus talked about clearly wasn’t Yahweh.
John 8:31-44 reflects this in Jesus’
speech to the Jews:
8:38 - “I speak that which I have
seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your
father.”
8:42 - “Jesus said unto them,
If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded
forth and came from God;
neither came I of myself, but he sent me.”
8:44 - “Ye are of your father the
devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from
the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in
him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar,
and the father of it.”
So Jesus actually was an agent provocateur, but
against Yahweh!
Yahweh felt threatened by this man and wanted him
killed. He influenced the mind of the high priest Caiaphas to have Jesus
crucified like a criminal, hoping that the new teachings would
after his death become forgotten. But the contrary occurred. The murder
of Jesus gave more power to the movement he had started and it
continued growing. Yahweh was very concerned about this.
The first Christians were what theology calls
“Christian Jews”, a bit depreciatingly, as if they would
not have been real Christians. But they were, of course, the most
Christian Christians that have ever been, since they were the closest
to Jesus himself. Out of them grew the Gnostic Christianity.
The latter declared that Yahweh (who they also called
Yaldabaoth) wasn’t a
real god, but a
demiurge, a secondary god,
himself created by the highest God and prime creator – a
fact that Yahweh didn’t want to be known. He wanted to be
regarded as the prime creator himself.
In this situation Yahweh developed a sinister but clever
plan. He wanted to infiltrate this new movement and twist it his own
ways so that it would instead serve his own purposes. One of his agents
was Paul, who first as Saul had persecuted Christians. Which
Christians? Obviously the Christian Jews and the Gnostic Christians,
since there yet were almost no other. Yahweh gave him a vision and made
him believe to experience Christ, and Saul became Paul, who
converted and began to preach Christianity.
But what Christianity? Not the one he had before fought
against, but his own modified and falsified version the way Yahweh
wanted to have it.
In the year 325 AD the emperor Constantine with
the council of Nicaea created the foundation for the Church as it is to
day. His intention was to selfishly use this Church as a tool for his
power and he obviously was an unknowing agent of Yahweh. At the
council, the Gnostic Christians were muzzled and were not allowed to
speak.
The emperor gave their petitions unopened to the fire.
They were at the end declared to be heretics. This was the beginning of
the end of Gnostic Christianity. Instead a yahwistic Church was formed,
which claimed to adhere to Jesus Christ, but not the
true one. We since have two Christs: the
false one of the Church and the true one who had once incarnated as
Jesus.
So who is Christ? I believe that he is
a kind of personification of the love of the prime creator and that
he was sent by those who intend to save the Earth from the grip of
negative extraterrestrials.
And who, then, is Yahweh? In the latter decades
remarkably interesting discoveries were made in the research into the
history of religions, based on archeological findings in Israel. In the
original Hebrew religion (or Pre-Hebrew religion), the highest god was
’El Elyon [2]. He had 70 sons and one of them was Yahweh.
Yahweh had a consort
’Asherah, a goddess. Her name is found
around 40 times in the Hebrew text of the Bible, but it is always
translated as “tree” or “grove” in order to
obscure the real meaning, since her symbol is a vertical pole or a
tree. At about the time of the exodus from Egypt, and still more during
the time of the Babylonian captivity, the religion was made
monotheistic and one shouldn’t know of the others, not even of
’Asherah.
When the Bible states that it is forbidden to plant a
tree at the altar of Yahweh (Deut. 16:21), the real meaning is that it
is forbidden to put a symbol (or maybe even image) of ’Asherah at
the altar (and what sense would it have to forbid planting a tree
there?).
Yahweh was considered a warrior and weather god from
Sinai, where
the Anunnaki had their
center…
The polytheistic origin is reflected in the
Bible’s creation story, which will no doubt have its origin in
the one given in the texts on the
clay plates of Sumeria and
Babylon.
The first sentence in the Bible (Gen. 1:1) reads:
“Bereshit bara ’Elohim et ha
shamayim v-et ha arez”, translated as
Now it has always been a problem swept under the carpet
that ’Elohim is plural and literally means “gods”.
Therefore, some want to understand it as: “In the
beginning the gods created the heaven and the Earth”, which
doesn’t fit grammatically, since the verb bara is in
singular.
However, the first word bereshit can not only be
translated as “beginning”, but also as “the first
one” – the one who was in the beginning.
Now we can correctly (no grammatical problem anymore)
translate as
“The First One created the
gods, the heavens and the Earth”!
Yahweh is in the Hebrew Bible text usually mentioned as
“Yahweh Elohim”, which seems to indicate that he is one of
the created ’Elohim. The plural repeats in other passages:
“WE will create humans in OUR image” and so on, still swept
under the carpet and declared to be
pluralis majestatis, a white lie in a dilemma…
Sitchin’s
sympathy for Yahweh is logical. He is a Jew – I respect
him sincerely as such – and must have this sympathy, or he would
face heavy criticism from his own people, regarded as a black sheep,
would he describe it differently. His conclusion that Yahweh would be
the god of the Anunnaki [3] cannot be taken very seriously.
So who, then, is The First One?
Like Sokolov I am generally skeptic about
“channeled” messages, since it is hard to separate the
chaff from the wheat and there will be a lot more chaff than wheat. But
there is one book I feel is quite pure wheat:
Bringers of the Dawn, by Barbara
Marciniak (channelings from the Pleiadians) [4].
The Pleiadians talk about a “prime creator”
who has created all in the beginning, out of which secondary creations
were later made. The Prime Creator created the Pleiadians, the
Anunnaki, and so on. In the message, the Anunnaki are called
“lizzies” since they are said to originally be
reptilian by nature. They
are not very positive beings, but “uninformed”, wherefore
they create “uninformed systems”.
In a struggle about the Earth they took control over it
a very long time ago. The time for our liberation is slowly approaching
and the Pleiadians say that they are helping us, but that in the
meantime the control by the Anunnaki will become much more subtle and
sophisticated and therefore more mean. Even though many of them are
quite negative, not all of them are.
Enûma Elish, the Sumerian-Babylonian creation epic, has something
important in its beginning, which Sitchin doesn’t elaborate.
First there were Apsû and Tiâmat, a divine prime creator
pair, who created all [5].
They also created the Anunnaki, who became some kind of
“celestial rowdies” and disturbed the order in the
creation. Therefore, Apsû wanted to reverse their creation so
that they should no more exist. Tiâmat, however, opposed this,
since they were her children. Ea (Enki) then killed Apsû
and later Marduk killed Tiâmat, the original mother of all gods.
This is a very sinister act but in the texts Marduk is made a hero and
Tiâmat a monster… Obviously this is a biased view that
reverses the question of good and evil!
But can you kill the prime creators? Of course not!
The meaning of this can only be that the Anunnaki split
off from them and wanted to be independent, as if the prime creators
were dead. And to the Anunnaki they became effectively dead…
This, again, gives a negative impression of the Anunnaki. They,
like Yahweh, wanted to be regarded as the real creators and we should
not know about those who created them.
So there is quite a bit of wrongdoing to be associated
with Marduk, after all…
Sitchin in the celestial fight between Marduk and
Tiâmat sees a fight between the populations of two planets on a
collision course in order to avoid a catastrophe. The Anunnaki
succeeded in destroying the other planet in order to save themselves.
But this will be only one aspect of the whole thing. Tiâmat is
certainly not only a planet, but a highest prime-creator goddess, whose
special planet in our solar system was the one that was destroyed.
This planet is called
Phaeton (or Mallona).
A part of it according to Enûma Elish became the Earth and the
rest became the asteroid belt. It can be assumed that a part of the
population of Phaeton (Tiâmat’s people) survived. Some
could save themselves to Mars, where with time that civilization died,
and another part to the Earth (or they survived on the part that became
the Earth).
So did the Anunnaki really create us? No! They modified
life on our planet through genetic manipulation.
There could very well have been earlier civilizations on
Earth before that, which either disappeared or were also genetically
manipulated. For the control of the Earth, people should be kept in the
dark, be unknowing and not “eat from the tree of
knowledge”. Earlier and higher developed civilizations
wouldn’t be tolerated, anymore.
When the “Watchers” (the sons of
the ’Elohim) acted against the laws of the Anunnaki and brought
new genes in the Earth population (Gen. 6) – a kind of
compassionate development aid! – they were punished and the
“giants” which were born out of it, with qualities and
capacities Earth people were not allowed to have, were killed in the
flood.
By the way: the “Tree of Knowledge” can not
have anything to do with sex, as I have explained in detail in "On sexuality and the Bible".
So have earlier civilizations only known
extraterrestrials as “gods”, or have they also known real
gods – non-physical entities like Apsû and Tiâmat,
which the Sumerian-Babylonian scriptures do mention?
The Prime Creator will be one!
In India, Brahma is known as the highest god. I
think it is “materializing” things a bit too much to state
that there would be no non-physical entities that really are and were
what we would call gods, and that there is no highest one who created
all. After all, the question unavoidably arises: who created the
extraterrestrials regarded as gods? Following this question back will
at the end have to lead to an immaterial prime creator…
There will in the beginning also have been other
extraterrestrials, who contacted, taught and led Earth people.
Quetzalcoatl and Viracocha
must not have been Anunnaki.
Regression experiences with persons, who once lived in
Atlantis, indicated that
extraterrestrials were in contact with the Atlanteans and gave them
knowledge, but withdrew disappointed when they saw it abused.
Therefore they can make themselves invisible to us and
shape-shift in ways non-understandable in a three-dimensional world
concept. That is probably also a reason why we were genetically
engineered to be able to perceive and think only in three dimensions
and have but a three-dimensional consciousness, lest we would know too
much... To want more would be to “eat” from the forbidden
“tree of knowledge”.
So I cannot regard the Anunnaki as my creators,
but only as manipulators of an existing creation. My ancestors
very, very far back were “created” that way – but not
me! However, my immortal soul which incarnates in one body after the
other is created
– not by the Anunnaki but by
the Prime Creator.
It seems that Yahweh, when he had twisted
Christianity, to be on the safe side also established Islam.
Yahweh and Allah will be the same. Thus he could
play the two out against each other in the Machiavellian sense of
“divide and rule”. (“Allah” is, by the way, not
derived from ’El = “god”, since “al” is
the article in Arabic; “lah” means “god” and
“al lah” simply means “the god”).
Sokolov's question if ‛Ai could have something
to do with a tunnel system, through which Abraham moved, has to
be answered with “No”. ‛Ai was the name of a town
and the word means “heap of ruins”.
His theory about the barbaric
“minicastration” through circumcision is very interesting.
Sitchin discusses this in his book
Divine Encounters and claims that one thereby puts the “sign
of the stars” in the flesh [6]. The Hebrew word for circumcision
is mul. Could that be associated with the Sumerian MUL.MUL =
the Pleiades? This appears highly doubtful in view of the messages from
the Pleiades (see above).
Sokolov writes “mulmul, our solar system” as
it is “called in the ancient texts”. That could make more
sense.
But in which ancient texts is that written?
Some extraterrestrials seem to be very long-living,
almost immortal.
As
multidimensional beings they
can easily take energies from us without our knowing. They seem to love
bloodsheds, like Yahweh in the Old Testament. When a person is killed,
he dies full of life energy that can be “extracted” from
the dying or just dead body.
But if someone dies old or sick, his
“batteries” are weak or empty and there isn’t much
energy to take.
These things and others will be described in much more
detail in my forthcoming book in German: Es begann in Babylon
(“It began in Babylon”). [The book has in the
meantime been
published.]
