# Genesis Deconstructed > Overturning tradition with truth ## Posts - [Allegory, Meditation and Occult Indoctrination](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/allegory-meditation-and-occult-indoctrination/): Allegory is a powerful literary device, used to convey deeper meanings, hidden in symbols within a story. Used throughout history to present complex social, political, and spiritual ideas, simply, by painting a picture in the reader’s mind. Readers are compelled to use critical thinking to understand the parable, and reveal the hidden message. We need to discern between allegory that contain Christian truth and occult lies. Yahshua’s parables are a fine example of the power of allegory. They appear simple, yet convey a broader truth in symbolic form. He spoke to them in parables “because while seeing they do not […] - [The 6 – 7 Chant and Alice Bailey’s Sixth and Seventh Initiations](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/the-6-7-chant-and-alice-baileys-sixth-and-seventh-initiations/): According to the article 6 – 7 and the ‘secret’ language of kids, “The numbers 6 and 7 have suddenly become very amusing, especially when said in a slow, sing-song voice, accompanied by a hand gesture that looks like you’re weighing something in your palms.” It started out as a phrase in a Skrilla rap song in late 2024, titled Doot Doot, referring to the police code 10-67 and 67th Street in Chicago, which quickly went viral. Then early in 2025, Instagram connect 6 – 7 to NBA player Lamelo Ball’s height, and many video’s appeared on Tic Tok and […] - [How Satan Became a Slanderer in Rev 12:12 – 13 Part Three](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/how-satan-became-a-slanderer-in-rev-1212-13-part-three/): Due to the complexity of the diabolical deception of the identity of the Slander (aka devil) in the New Testament, this analysis has been divided into three parts. First, we looked at evidence that Satan was not a Slanderer Until Rev 12:12 – 13, in part one. Then we saw that the ‘Serpent Ancient’ in Rev 12:9 and 20:2 was a Union of Adam and Satan in Gen 3:1 – 5, in Part Two. Now, we will look How Satan Became a Slanderer in Rev 12:12 – 13 in Part Three. Let’s look at some important things hidden in the […] - [The ‘Serpent Ancient’ in Rev 12:9 and 20:2 was a Union of Adam and Satan in Gen 3:1 – 5 Part Two](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/the-serpent-ancient-in-rev-129-and-202-was-a-union-of-adam-and-satan-in-gen-31-5-part-two/): In the article Satan was not a Slanderer Until Rev 12:12 – 13 Part One, we saw how 30 of 38 occurrences of the Greek diabolos (Strong’s G1228) that means ‘false accuser, slanderer, Devil’ are the Hebrew שטן that means ‘Satan, adversary’, causing many to believe the Satan is the Devil. Only 7 of the 38 occurrences of diabolos are the Hebrew מלשין, used to describe people who are ‘slanderers, false accusers’ in 1 Tim 3:11, 2 Tim 3:3, Titus 2:3, and Rev 2:10, and Adam as a ‘slanderer, false accuser’ in Rev 12:9 and 20:2. This seems to be […] - [Satan was not a Slanderer Until Rev 12:12 – 13 Part One](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/satan-was-not-a-slanderer-until-rev-1212-13-part-one/): We have been deceived into believing that ‘devil’ is a name for Satan. This deception was accomplished by classifying Satan שטן as the Greek diabolos (Strong’s G1228 38 occurrences) that means ‘false accuser, slander’. Satan שטן is found in 30 of the 38 verses where the word ‘devil’ is found, leaving only 7 verses with the Hebrew מלשין, translated ‘slanderers, false accusers’ in 1 Tim 3:11, 2 Tim 3:3, Titus 2:3, and ‘devil’ in Rev 2:10, 12:9, 12, 20:2. The title ‘Slanderer’ will be used because it accurately represents the meaning of the Hebrew מלשין, used of people are ‘slanderers’, […] - [The Dragon, the Serpent, and the Beast](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/the-dragon-the-serpent-and-the-beast/): The Bible is translated allegorically, portraying Satan as a dragon and a serpent, but the Hebrew text without vowels reveals that Satan is ‘a giver’, not ‘a dragon’. Satan possessed Adam, who was ‘a diviner’, not a serpent. The serpent is identified as ‘a beast of the field’ in Gen 3:1, but ‘a beast’ is a ‘living being’ possessed by Satan, and the ‘field’ is the ether where the demons reside. These images are deceptive, making us think we will recognize Satan because he is a dragon, and a serpent, and evil people because they are beasts, leaving us vulnerable […] - [Adam, the Ascended עלה Master אד in Genesis 2:6](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/adam-the-ascended-%d7%a2%d7%9c%d7%94-master-%d7%90%d7%93-in-genesis-26/): When I first analyzed the Hebrew text of Genesis 2:6, I accepted the translation of ad אד as ‘mist’, ignoring the fact that Brown-Driver-Briggs admits that the meaning is dubious. I believed the experts, that it is not connected to adam אדם, admh אדמה, or addon אדון, although in hindsight it is obvious these words are connected. Case-in-point, if we take the experts opinion as a fact, it becomes near impossible to see the real meaning of key words! Master אד When we translate אד based on its Hebrew letters ad, it is obviously related to adm אדם (Strong’s H120 […] - [The Catholic Church’s Celebrity Culture](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/the-catholic-churchs-celebrity-culture/): The recent phenomena of celebrity conversion to Catholicism, is not to the old Catholic tradition, but a New Catholicism, which is the result of the fusion of the Old Catholic with the ancient ritual that Mrs. Besant wrote about in the October 1916 Theosophist. “There is slowly growing up in Europe . . . a little-known movement called the Old Catholic, with the ancient ritual, with unchallenged Orders, yet holding itself aloof from the Papal Obedience. This is a living Christian Church which will grow and multiply as the years go on, and which has a great future before it, […] - [The Eucharist, Paganism and Illuminism](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/the-eucharist-paganism-and-illuminism/): When Yahshua tells the Jews “I am the bread that came down out of heaven”, they wondered how he could say such a thing, and Yahshua added “no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him on the last day” in John 6:41 – 44.  Then, in John 6:45, Yahshua connects ‘the man’ (Hebrew m-n מן translated ‘manna’) to the ‘bread from out of heaven’, and to the prophecy in Isaiah 54:13 “they will all be taught of Yahweh”.  He adds “to upright לכן, all כל guide אשר hear שמע […] - [Mamon, the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/mamon-the-fruit-of-the-tree-of-knowledge-in-the-garden-of-eden/): The Hebrew man מן (Strong’s H4480 1223 occurrences) that means ‘from out of’, is the same as man מן (Strong’s H4478 14 occurrences) translated ‘man[na]’ to disguise the connection to Adam (Strong’s H120) that is translated ‘man’.  Yahshua is ‘the man’ המן whose teachings are the bread from out of the heavens in John 6:31 – 33 & 45, Exodus 16:31, and Rev 2:17. In Gen 2:4 – 3:24 man מן means ‘from out of’ indicating separation or removal in Gen 2:6 “A master אד ascended from out of מן the earth ארץ . . .”, in Gen 2:7 “Formed […] - [Yahshua, the Man המן, Whose Teachings are the Bread From out of the Heavens in John 6:31 – 33 & 45, Exodus 16:31, and Rev 2:17](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/yahshua-the-man-%d7%94%d7%9e%d7%9f-whose-teachings-are-the-bread-from-out-of-the-heavens-in-john-631-33-45-exodus-1631-and-rev-217/): It seems innocuous that אדם is only translated ‘Adam’ (Strong’s H121 10 occurrences) in Gen 3:17, otherwise it is translated ‘man’ (Strong’s H120 552 occurrences) in Gen 2:5, 7, 8, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 3:8, 9, 12, 20, 21, 22, & 24. But translating Adam אדם man מן, makes it appear that Adam was the Bread from out of the heavens, connected to Manu in Hindu mythology, considered to be the “gift from God” in Arabic. The transliteration of the Hebrew מן (Strong’s H4480 1223 occurrences) translated ‘from out of’ in Gen 2:6, is ‘min’, […] - [Alice Bailey’s Theology Part 3 – Satan’s Earthly Kingdom, the Carbon Temple, and 666 in Rev 13:18](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/alice-baileys-theology-part-3-satans-earthly-kingdom-the-carbon-temple-and-666-in-rev-1318/): The article The Electric Bridge on Lucis Trust.org, describes the building the carbon temple, a ‘living temple’ created through the transformation of carbon through electric masonry into a ‘diamond-souled kingdom’. Bailey states the magnification of carbon “will help humanity transcend the physical plane through new conceptions of time and space”, and according to the Tibetan “we shall see each other and all forms of divine manifestation as light units of varying degrees of brightness . . . “. When this great Masonic work is finished, “we shall see the Temple of God, the solar system . . . its courts […] - [Alice Bailey’s Theology Part 2 – Occult Infiltration of Christianity](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/alice-baileys-theology-part-2-occult-infiltration-of-christianity/): In his book Alice Bailey “Mother” of the New Age Movement, author Ray Yungen provides evidence in Bailey’s writings that her plan was to ‘revitalize’ Christianity by blending it with the occult to spread and instill New Age consciousness creating a new world religion. The churches would still have the outer appearance of Christianity, but be drawing members to contemplative spirituality. All denominations would become one by meditating together, and assimilating the spirit of the others. Today, all major religions eagerly await the appearance of a World Healer and Savior, who she called the “Coming One”, evidence Bailey’s goal or […] - [Alice Bailey’s Theology Part 1 - the Masters and Overshadowing](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/alice-baileys-theology-part-1-the-masters-and-overshadowing/): In the article A Scientific Analysis of the Writings of Alice A. Bailey and Their Applications, author Robert A. Herrmann Ph. D. warns “many manifestations of this theology are covert”, and “is being embraced by many individuals and organizations are being deceived relative to its true intent.” Bailey’s theology is “occult in character and leads to one of the most-evil forms of demonic possession.” According to Herrmann, Bailey’s goal is “to prepare humankind for the ‘appearance’, in one form or another, of the AntiChrist”, and “the ‘prayer’ entitled ‘The Great Invocation’ is actually a satanic invocation designed to call forth […] - [Is Telepathy Communication from Demons?](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/is-telepathy-communication-from-demons/): The hit series Telepathy Tapes pushes parents of autistic children to consider their child’s autism not as a disability but as a spiritual gift. The article Autism’s Spiritual Meaning: A Journey of Understanding and Enlightenment on neurolaunch.com, opens saying “Beyond the veil of neurotypical perception lies a realm where autism unfolds as a mystical odyssey, beckoning us to explore its profound spiritual dimensions”. It explains “the concept of autism as a spiritual journey is not new, but it has gained traction in recent years as more individuals, families, and communities seek to understand the deeper meaning behind neurodiversity. This perspective […] - [How a Physicist Changes a Circle into a Sphere to Support Globe Earth Theology Part 2](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/how-a-physicist-changes-a-circle-into-a-sphere-to-support-globe-earth-theology-part-2/): In the article Earth A Sphere by Design on Biblescienceforum.com, Physicist John Hartnett misinterprets Genesis 1:2 to postulate how creation began with a massive sphere. Hartnett believes “The earth was without form תהו . . .” in Gen 1:2 means it “started out as just water. And it was initially without form”.  He is wrong on both counts. The ‘earth’ ארץ is what God called the dry land יבשה when the waters were gathered together and called seas in Gen 1:10. The ‘water’ is not literal water, but forces Satan uses to attack God’s people. We see below, how the […] - [How a Physicist Changes a Circle into a Sphere to Support Globe Earth Theology Part 1](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/how-a-physicist-changes-a-circle-into-a-sphere-to-support-globe-earth-theology/): In the article Earth A Sphere by Design on Biblescienceforum.com, Physicist John Hartnett attempts to make it appear the globe earth is Biblical. Hartnett’s globe earth theology requires a sphere. He misinterprets the ‘circle חוג of the earth’ in Isa 40:22 to mean a 2-dimensional plane, and stretches the circle into a sphere saying “each time it has the meaning of circle in some form. The great circles of longitudinal lines on the sphere are such circles.”  He builds on this faulty foundation saying “for God to be above every point on the surface of a sphere, after all he […] - [Astronomy and Astrology are Idolatry](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/astronomy-and-astrology-are-idolatry/): In Genesis 1:1 there are the heavens and the earth. An expanse was made in the midst of the waters, to separate the waters below from the waters above v7, called heaven v8. In the heavens there are lights, the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light and stars to govern the night v16. Birds fly above the earth, in the open expanse of the heavens v20.  The Hebrew רקיע (Strong’s H7549) means ’expanse/firmament/visible arch of the sky’.  According to Strong’s Lexicon ‘raqui’ “refers to the expanse or firmament that God created to separate the waters above […] - [66 Generations from Adam to Yahshua in Matthew 1: 1 – 17](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/66-generations-from-adam-to-yahshua-in-matthew-1-1-17/): Taking a close look at Matthew 1:1 – 17, it becomes apparent that 3 names are missing from 1 Chr 3:11, bringing the total generations from David to Babylon to 17 instead of 14, and the name Pedaiah missing from 1 Chr 3:17.  With these adjustments, there are 66 generations from Adam to Yahshua through David’s son Solomah (translated Solomon throughout the Bible), as listed in the chart below. What is the meaning of 66 generations?  The Hebrew שש has two different meanings – six (Strong’s H8337 215 occurrences), or sixth (Strong’s H8345 28 occurrences), and fine linen (Strong’s H8336 […] - [Is 666 the Number of the Beast in Rev 13:18?](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/is-666-the-number-of-the-beast-in-rev-1318/): Scarcely a day goes by that we don’t hear mention of the man whose number is 666 in reference to Revelation 13:18, but the Hebrew text of Revelation 13:18 has a very different meaning than the English translation of the Greek text. Also, Rev 13:18 doesn’t begin with a waw, evidence that it is the start of a new paragraph, and Rev 14:1 where the Lamb stands upon Mount Zion, begins with a waw indicating it is a continuation from the previous verse. Rev 13:18 in Hebrew, reading right to left is as follows: בזה החכמה מי אשר לו תבונה […] - [A Critical Look at SDA and the Writings of Ellen White](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/a-critical-look-at-sda-and-the-writings-of-ellen-white/): The SDA confirmed that biblical canon is closed at a General Conference in the Netherlands in June 1995.  But in stark contradiction to this, they believe Rev 19:10 “the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy” refers to Ellen White’s writings, giving them divine authority.  As a result, Ellen White’s many visions and writings have greatly influenced the doctrine of Seventh-Day Adventism. Even today, SDA preachers like Walter Veith give the writings of Ellen White equal authority to scripture. Scripture supports that the gifts of the spirit ended in the Apostles generation: We can be certain that all visions […] - [The Trinity is the Triangle that Casts a Magic Spell](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/the-trinity-is-the-triangle-that-casts-a-magic-spell/): In reading Light Bearers of Darkness p. 4, the Trinity of Illuminism – Cabalistic and Gnostic, is eerily similar to the Christian Trinity, consisting of “the Father – the generating fire; the Holy Spirit – the Great Mother Nature, reproducing all things; the Son – the manifestation, the vital fluid, the astral light of Illuminism.”  The author, Christina Stoddard, believes the Trinity of Catholic Church was perverted by Paganism and Gnosticism p. 39, but “The baptismal formula was changed from the name of Jesus Christ to the words Father, Son, and Holy Spirit by the Catholic Church in the second […] - [The UN Plans to Reveal the New Age Messiah in 2025](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/the-un-plans-to-reveal-the-new-age-messiah-in-2025/): Lucis Trust, in an article titled Toward 2025, explain that “2025 is a Jubilee year in the Christian and Jewish calendar that is also the focus of prophecy.  The ageless wisdom suggests that in the 25th year of every century there is a gathering on the subtle planes of all Masters, Saints, Rishis and Enlightened Beings, and over time this is followed by significant changes in humanity.”  People who are enlightened may emerge as leaders, uniting ‘world servers’, initiating ‘a renaissance in global culture and civilization’.  The world will be ready to reveal ‘a Christ-like figure’! What they describe as […] - [Using Critical Thinking to Prevent Hypnosis](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/using-critical-thinking-to-prevent-hypnosis/): If we ponder the creation of the heavens and the earth in Genesis – the universe consists of the earth, separated from God by an expanse called the heavens Gen 1: 6 – 8, the lights were added for signs and for days and years, and to give light on the earth, the greater to govern the day and the lesser to govern the night, and the stars v14 – 18.  We can each attest to the fact that describes the reality we live in. Yet our reality has changed to include things postulated by Physicists, as we see in […] - [Einstein was a Mystic](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/einstein-was-a-mystic/): Are Physicists so intelligent that we simply aren’t smart enough to comprehend what they are saying, or are they talking about things that do not exist in reality, but in the spiritual realm? According to Britannica, in the early 1900’s, Einstein’s theory of relativity, redefined space, time, matter, energy, and gravity, which are central to modern physics.  “The theory of special relativity draws conclusions that are contrary to everyday experience but fully confirmed by experiments. Special relativity revealed that the speed of light is a limit that can be approached by not reached by any material object; it is the […] - [Physics is Mysticism](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/physics-is-mysticism/): According to Britannica, until recent times the aim of Physics was to discover and formulate the fundamental laws of nature, on a macroscopic and submicroscopic level. Only recently did physics become the science of matter, motion and energy, in the fields of astrophysics, geophysics, biophysics, and even psychophysics.  Experiments provide measurements that are compared to the outcomes predicted by theory.  A theory becomes law when the outcomes are as predicted. It all sounds concrete, as if Physics was based in natural reality, but something else was added in the 1900’s that is not concrete or natural, but mystical! In his […] - [Pythagoras, the Cabala and Spirit Possession](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/pythagoras-the-cabala-and-spirit-possession/): Most of us are familiar with the Pythagoras Theorem from Geometry, but few of us realize its influence on the ‘Practical or Magical Cabala’, or the ancient cults of alchemists, Rosicrucians, and Illumines, as stated in The Trail of the serpent by Christina Stoddard p. 56.  Stoddard quotes J B van Helmont’s Hortus Medicine “A magical force, sent asleep by sin, is latent in man; it can be awakened by the grace of God or by the art of the Cabala.”  She warns “It is the awakening of the kundalini by magical processes or yoga.” Pythagoras is on the list […] - [David’s Son Solomah, Not Solomon](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/davids-son-solomah/): The name translated Solomon in the Bible is the Hebrew S-l-m-h שלמה (Strong’s H8010). (Note: There were no vowels or accents in the original text, so I have translated שלמה as Solomah in this article to avoid using the mistranslated name Solomon.) Solomah שלמה (Strong’s H8010) is the same form as H8011 (1 occurrence) that means ‘reward, recompense’ in Ps 91:8, from solom שלם Strong’s H7999 (116 occurrences) that means ‘complete, sound’, often translated ‘recompense, reward’, and ‘make whole, restore’ in the prophecy of the day of Yahweh in Joel 2:25.  Although it is translated “be ended/over” in Isa 60:20, […] - [David, the Imposter King, Kingdom and House](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/david-the-imposter-king-kingdom-and-house/): In the generation Yahshua was born, some Jews believed that David was Yahweh’s chosen one, his kingdom was eternal, and his son Solomon was the one who would build a house for Yahweh. They believed that David was Yahweh’s anointed king, whose kingdom passed to his son Solomon.  They denied that Yahshua was the Messiah (mashiach משיח means ‘anointed’) because he didn’t kill Israel’s enemies like David and Solomon did, to free Israel from Roman rule. This is the result of believing the Davidic propaganda which permeates the historical accounts in 1 & 2 Kings, 1 & 2 Samuel, and […] - [Was Solomon the Son Who Would Build a House for Yahweh?](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/was-solomon-the-son-who-would-build-a-house-for-yahweh/): It was in David’s heart to build a house for the name Yahweh 1 Kings 8:17, 1 Chr 22:7, for the ark of the covenant of Yahweh in 1 Chr 17: 1 – 2, 22:19, adding “as a footstool for our God” in 1 Chr 28:2.  Yahweh said “you shall not build a house for me to dwell in, for I have not dwelt in a house . . .” 1 Chr 17: 4 – 5, 2 Sam 7:5 – 7, or because David had spilled much blood 1 Chr 22:8, 28:3.  Solomon believed his father David couldn’t build Yahweh […] - [The Story of King David – Inspired or Propaganda?](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/the-story-of-king-david-inspired-or-propaganda/): The story of David is one of the most popular in the Bible.  Many of us learned the biblical story of David and Goliath as children, in which the hero – David, slays the villain – a giant named Goliath.  Theologians often mention that Yahweh called David “a mighty one איש after his own heart” 1 Samuel 13:14. David is hailed as an example of how true, heartfelt repentance results in God’s forgiveness even for a serial sinner whose sins include murder and adultery.  But is all of the story true? There is evidence propaganda was interwoven into the historical […] - [Were Saul and David Yahweh’s Anointed Kings?](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/were-saul-and-david-yahwehs-anointed-kings/): The People Demand a King When Samuel was old, he appointed his sons as judges over Israel, but “his sons, however, did not walk in his ways, but turned aside after dishonest gains and took bribes and perverted justice” in 1 Sam 8:1 – 3.  This gives the elders of Israel the opportunity to ask for a king to be appointed “to judge us like all the nations” v 4 – 5.  Samuel prayed to Yahweh, and Yahweh said to Samuel “Listen to the voice of the people in regard to all that they say to you, for they have […] - [What were Yahshua’s Last Words Before his Death?](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/what-were-yahshuas-last-words-before-his-death/): Matt 27:46 and Mark 15:34 have similar accounts, with a few minor differences in the Hebrew text. The first words in these verses translated “And about/at the ninth hour . . .”, could mean “And as time כעת the rescue השעה the deliverance of body התשיעית . . .” in Matt 27:46, and “In rescue בשעה the deliverance of body התשיעית . . .“ in Mark 15:34.  Both שעה and תשיע are a form of ישע (Strong’s H3467) that means ‘deliverer’. But let’s focus on what Yahshua said: In Matt 27:46 “. . . and cried out ויצעק Yahshua ישוע […] - [Evidence Against the Pastoral Epistles](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/evidence-against-the-pastoral-epistles/): It’s pretty obvious when you compare the content of the Pastoral Epistles to the gospels and Paul’s writings that there are major differences. For example, in Matt 23: 8 & 10 Yahshua said call no one teacher for we are all brothers, or leader for he is our leader. In 1 Cor 14:26 all members took turns exercising their gifts of the spirit. But in 1 Timothy 3 authorities are put in place and all other members of the church silenced. In 1 Tim 5:17 “the elders who rule well are to be considered worthy of double honor, especially those […] - [Awakening, Meditation on Planets and Spirit Possession](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/awakening-meditation-on-planets-and-spirit-possession/): Rudolf Steiner was a Freemason and a Rosicrucian, whose voluminous writings and Waldorf schools are still with us today. In the book Light-bearers of Darkness p 64 – 65, author Christina Stoddard says “After studying Steiner’s ‘Knowledge of the Higher Worlds,’ or ‘Way of Initiation,’ it becomes increasingly clear that it means in reality a preparation for obsession by these hidden beings, so much spoken of by Steiner, who, working on the astral plane, are every-where seeking for dupes and tools through whom they can carry out World Revolution leading to World Domination. By this means these beings instruct and […] - [Yahshua’s Preexistance in Heaven](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/yahshuas-preexistance-in-heaven/): There are many verses that confirm Yahshua’s existence before his incarnation.  John 6:38 states he “came down from heaven”, John 3:13 states he “ascended into heaven” and “descended from heaven”.  In John 17:5 Yahshua asks Yahweh to “glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world (time) existed.”, and in John 17:24 he said “You loved me before the foundation of the world”.  This supports John 1:1 that states he was ‘with God” and “a god”. Yahshua was the seed of the woman prophesied in Gen 3:15, as stated in Revelation 12: 1 – 2, […] - [77 Generations from Adam to Yahshua](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/77-generations-from-adam-to-yahshua/): In the Book of Enoch by R.H. Charles Chapter X v 12 “And when their sons have slain one another, and they have seen the destruction of their beloved ones, bind them fast for seventy generations in the valleys of the earth, till the day of their judgment and of their consummation, till the judgment that is for ever and ever is consummated.” Whether the book of Enoch is inspired or not, the author knew there were 70 generations from Enoch to Yahshua the Messiah.  When we add the 7 generations from Adam to Enoch we get 77 generations, which […] - [Evidence Matthew 16: 16 – 19 is an Interpolation](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/evidence-matthew-16-16-19-is-an-interpolation/): In Matt 16:13 – 16 Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” And they said, “Some [say] John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” The accounts in Mark 8:27 – 29 and Luke 18 – 20 are identical to Matt 16:13 – 15, there are minor differences between Peter’s […] - [The evidence against 1 Corinthians 14:34 - 35](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/the-evidence-against-1-corinthians-1434-35/): Critics identify interpolations in the New Testament using a multi-pronged approach.  They analyze ancient manuscripts for inconsistencies.  They compare verses in question to the authors normal speech patterns, theology, and life, and identify differences which indicate other authorship. Paul was the target of many pseudepigraphic writings.  Out of the 13 writings attributed to him, the Pastoral Epistles, which include 1 & 2 Timothy and Titus, are largely thought to be falsely attributed to Paul, and 2 Thessalonians, Ephesians and Colossians, are widely debated.  Hebrews was traditionally thought to be authored by Paul, but because the writing style is different than […] - [Are Women Weaker in 1 Peter 3:7?](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/are-women-weaker-in-1-peter-37/): The English translation of 1 Peter 3: 1 – 7 is the foundation of patriarchy, but the Hebrew text has a completely different message. In 1 Peter 3:1 and 5 the Hebrew word נשי translated ‘wives’ means ‘debt’ or ‘waste’, and the Hebrew בעל translated ‘husbands’ mean ‘owner, lord’, and in 1 Peter 3:7 the Hebrew אשה translated ‘wives’ means ‘woman’, and the Hebrew אנש translated ‘husband’ means ‘sick’, exposing a completely different meaning than the English translations would have us believe.  In the article Woman Rulers in Isaiah 3:12, we looked at the Hebrew word נשי classified as Strong’s […] - [Freemasonry, Lady Liberty, Helios, and Gender X](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/freemasonry-lady-liberty-helios-and-gender-x/): In the article Freemasonry and the Statue of Liberty, Freemasonry takes credit for the creation and erection of the Statue of Liberty, the “symbol of freedom and opportunity”.  Plans were made for laying the cornerstone of the pedestal with a masonic ceremony, like George Washington had personally laid the cornerstone of the United Stated capital on Sep 18, 1793 with the assistance of the Grand Lodge of Maryland. https://newjerseygrandlodge.org/liberty/ While researching her book Liberty’s Torch: The Great Adventure to Build the Statue of Liberty, Elizabeth Mitchell discovered that Lady Liberty’s face is that of a man, not a woman.  She […] - [Gender X and the Image of God](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/gender-x-and-the-image-of-god/): We have been told by organized religion that we were made in the image of God, based on the seven creation days describing the original creation, when they describe the fall, and prophesy the recreation of the world. “The earth was formless and void” in Gen 1:2 is explained in Jer 4: 22 – 26 “My people are fools; they have not known Me. They are foolish children, without understanding. They are skilled in doing evil, but they know not how to do good. I looked at the earth, and it was formless and void; I looked to the heavens, […] - [Misinterpretation of the 7 Creation Days Prophecy](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/misinterpretation-of-the-7-creation-days-prophecy/): In the article The Creation week Reveals God’s 7000 Year Plan of Redemption, the coming of the Messiah is included in the 5th day, and the 2nd coming of the Messiah and the millennial reign are categorized under the 7th day.  https://www.calledoutbelievers.org/prophecy-in-creation-week/ A close look at the 7 creation days in Genesis 1:1 to 2:3, reveals that the Messiah’s 1st and 2nd coming, and his millennial reign with the saints occur on the 6th day, because on the 7th day the new heavens and earth are complete. The first 3 creation days involve separation – light from dark on day […] - [Woman Rulers in Isaiah 3:12?](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/woman-rulers-in-isaiah-312/): The Gods Word to Women Word Press site is a great Bible study resource.  https://godswordtowomen.wordpress.com/ In her article Isaiah 3:12 – “the nations could sink no lower than to pass under women rulers”???, Charis explores the meaning of the words עולל (Strong’s H5065), and נשים (Strong’s H802), translated ‘children’ and ‘women’ in most Bible versions, except the Brenton Septuagint where they are translated ‘exactors’ and ‘extortioners’, and the Good News Translation ‘moneylenders’ and ‘creditors’. The following evidence supports that these words mean ‘gleaners’ and ‘debtors’: Let’s compare the properly translated Isaiah 3:12 found in the Good News Translation to the […] - [Yahweh in the New Testament](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/yahweh-in-the-new-testament/): Translating Yahweh ‘Lord’ is especially misleading in the New Testament where Yahshua’s title is adon (Strong’s H113) that means ‘lord, master’.  Yahweh (Strong’s H3068) is classified as Strong’s G2962 kyrios that means ‘master, lord’, along with Strong’s H113 adon that means ‘firm, strong, lord, master’, H136 adonay that means ‘lord’, H410 el that means ‘god, god-like one, mighty one’, H430 elohim the plural of el, H433 allah that means ‘God, false god’, H1167 baal that means ‘owner, husband, lord, rulers’, H1376 gibber that means ‘lord, ruler’, H4756 that means ‘lord – of a king, or God’, H4911 that means ‘to […] - [Adam was the Serpent in Genesis 3:1 to 5](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/marriage-based-on-deception-in-genesis-31-to-6/): The text of Genesis 3:1 to 5 appears as follows: Samaritan Targum Interlinear Translation Facts About Hebrew 161. The verb nachash נחש (Strong’s H5172 11 occurrences) mean ‘practice divination, enchantment’ and the noun nachash נחש (Strong’s H5173 2 occurrences) means ‘divination, enchantment’ or (Strong’s H5175 31 occurrences) means ‘serpent’.  Like the noun man (adam), the word serpent (nachash) is plural unless it has a definite article indicating a specific ‘serpent’ is being referred to.  Nachash is the same as Aramaic nechash נחש (Strong’s 5174 9 occurreces) found in Daniel 2, 4, 5 & 7 means ‘copper, bronze’, and nechosheth  נחשת  […] - [Not in Fine Linen in Genesis 2:25](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/hebrew-without-vowels-or-accents/): The text of Genesis 2: 25 appears as follows: From the Hebrew Bible without Vowels or Accents created by JesusSpokeAramaic Samaritan Targum Interlinear Translation Here’s the interlinear translation of Genesis 2: 25: from tanakh.info Facts About Hebrew We can add the following to our facts about Hebrew: 157. The Shen שן Word Family is complex, having 5 different meaning streams (the rows highlighted in grey, orange, green, blue and yellow), as shown in the table below: According to Strong’s Concordance, the following words are connected: H8142 שנה that means ‘sleep’ is from H3462 ישן that means ‘sleep, grow old’ , […] - [A Comparison of the Text and Translation of Genesis 2:24](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/a-comparison-of-the-text-and-translation-of-genesis-224/): The Comparison of the Text and Translation below (due to the size I was only able to add it as downloadable document), is very laborious to prepare, but at the same time it is very satisfying, because it sheds light on the meaning of the text, uncovering the real meaning of Yahweh’s words hidden in the English translation of the Hebrew Bible. In my original analysis, I picked up on many of the words that are mistranslated in Gen 2:24, but I translated ken כן as ‘thus’, one of the meanings stated in Strong’s Concordance (see Fact #149).  I concluded […] - [Names and Titles of Adam in the Genesis Creation Account](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/names-and-titles-of-adam-in-the-genesis-creation-account/): In the table below, we see the names/titles used of the male and female Adam before the separation of the female from the male in Gen 2:5 to 2:22, after the separation in Gen 2:23 to 4:1, and prophesying their reunification in Gen 1:26 & 27. The translation of the names/titles used of Adam in the Genesis creation account is inconsistent and illogical.  There are different translations of the same word, and the same translation of different words, obviously done to support the traditional account that the female was made from the male, for the male and to cover up […] - [Names and Titles of Eve in the Genesis Creation Account](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/names-and-titles-of-eve-in-the-genesis-creation-account/): In the table below, we see that the Targum’s substitute att אתת for ishshah אשה in the Genesis Creation Account.  In Fuerst’s Lexicon p. 157, it states that ishshah is equivalent to ashsh אשש, and Davies Lexicon p. 71 & 73 indicates that att אתת is the Chaldee form of the Hebrew ashsh אשש.  In Gesenius’s Hebrew Lexicon p. 84, אשש means ‘found, establish, show yourselves firm’.  In Fuerst’s Lexicon ** p. 167, and Davies’ Lexicon p. 71, אשש means 1 ‘to be powerful, strong, to make strong, firm, to establish’, derivitives include the ish איש (a form of esh […] - [The Masoretic Text Compared to the Targum’s](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/the-masoretic-text-compared-to-the-targums/): In looking at the History of the Hebrew Bible, the Masoretic and Samaritan texts, it becomes apparent that there are very divergent opinions on the accuracy and reliability of all the source text of the Hebrew Bible, leaving us no option but investigate the matter for ourselves.  Having studied the Hebrew text of Gen 1:1 to 2:24, we are in a better position to compare the text of the Targums for similarities and differences, to see if they differ from our original interpretation.  We learned some interesting facts in the History of Hebrew Language, the Hebrew Bible and the Targums, […] - [The Samaritan Targum](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/the-samaritan-targum/): In his article The Samaritan Pentateuch, http://classic.net.bible.org/dictionary.php?word=Pentateuch,%20The%20Samaritan author J. E. H. Thompson presents the history of the Samaritan Pentateuch.  The Greek’s knew of the Samaritan Pentateuch in the 1st century AD – “Origen knew of it”, “Eusebius of Caesarea in his Chronicon compares the ages of the patriarchs before Abraham in the Septuagint with those in the Samaritan Pentateuch and the Massoretic Text”, and “Cyril of Jerusalem notes agreement of Septuagint and Samaritan in Gen 4:8” (I 1).  The Samaritan Pentateuch must have been written at the same time as the Targum Onkelos and Jonathon. Thompson states in his introduction, […] - [The Targum Onkelos](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/the-targum-onkelos/): According to Wikipedia’s article Targum Onkelos, although authorship  is often attributed to ‘Onkelos’, many scholars believe it was Aquila of Sinope, who made the Greek translation before he converted to Judaism, then wrote the aramaic translation called the Targum Onkelos in the 1st century or early in the 2nd century, under the direction of Rabbis Yehoshua and Eliezer.  Some of the language dates to the late 4th and early 5th centuries, because it underwent “its final redaction” at that time. The article states the “Onkelos’ Aramaic translation of the Pentateuch (Five Books of Moses) is almost entirely a word-by-word, literal […] - [The Massoretic Text](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/the-massoretic-text/): In his article What Is the Masoretic Text?  The Beginners Guide, author Ryan Nelson opens with “Most Jews and Protestants consider the Masoretic Text the authoritative Hebrew Bible . . . written sometime between the seventh and tenth centuries AD . . . most English translations of the Old Testament are based on the Masoretic Text”.  Nelson’s states that the Masoretic text “was based on the meticulously preserved oral tradition and the best available manuscripts of the original Hebrew text”. By Nelson’s account “manuscripts of the Hebrew Bible were lost in the destruction of the second temple in 70 AD, […] - [History of the Hebrew Language, the Hebrew Bible and the Targum’s](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/history-of-the-hebrew-language-the-hebrew-bible-and-the-targums/): In his Ancient Hebrew Timeline, Jeff Benner parallels Biblical events, alphbets, inscriptions, Hebrew Bible’s, and Translations https://www.ancient-hebrew.org/biblical-history/ancient-hebrew-timeline.htm.  Benner’s timeline reveals early Semitic (Hebrew)  was pictographic, and evolved into Paleo-Hebrew (middle Semitic) that resembled the Phoenician alphabet, and was used by Israel until the Babylonian exile in the 6th century BC, when it evolved into Aramaic (late Semitic script).  The Greek adopted the middle Semetic alphabet in the 10th century BC, that evolved into the modern form in the 9th century BC, and in the 4th century BC Jewish scholars translated the Torah into Greek, known as the Septuagint.  In Benners […] - [The Story of Eve and Misogyny](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/the-story-of-eve-and-misogyny/): Recognizing that the men in control of scripture have twisted it to elevate themselves to gods while reducing woman to inferior, evil beings has been an awakening for me.  In her article Genesis From Eve’s Point of View, Pamela Milne (written over 30 years ago on March 26, 1989) talks about the negative impact the story of Eve has had on women throughout history, having “ been interpreted in patriarchal and even misogynist ways by male bible scholars and theologians”, to support that women are “the devil’s gateway . . . the unsealer of that forbidden tree . . . […] - [Introduction](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/introduction-2/): In the Genesis creation account, we find the very reason for our existence, what it means to be male or female, and why there is pain, suffering and death in the world.  But the creation story we have been told since childhood contains many lies, which we have been told so many times,  it has become to us an “illusion of truth” that is difficult to overcome.  We must forget what we have been told happened and look to the original Hebrew text for answers. The mistranslated and misinterpreted text in Genesis has and continues to be the predominant ‘proof […] - [Yahweh’s Proclamation About the Man](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/yahwehs-proclamation-about-the-man/): Hebrew Without Vowels or Accents The text of Genesis 2: 23 – 24 appears as follows: Samaritan Targum Interlinear Translation Here’s the interlinear translation of Genesis 2: 23 – 24 from tanakh.info: Facts About Hebrew We can add the following to our facts about Hebrew: 146. The pronoun zoth זאת (Strong’s 2063 604 occurrences) means ‘hereby in it, likewise, the one other, same, she, so much, such deed, that’.  According to Brown-Driver-Briggs zoth is the feminine of zeh זה (Strong’s 2088  1177 occurrences) that means ‘he, hence, here, itself, now, of him, the one’, often translated ‘this’.  Zayin appears to […] - [Not Good Becomes Adam](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/not-good-becomes-adam/): Hebrew Without Vowels or Accents The text of Genesis 2: 18 to 22 appears as follows: Samaritan Targum Interlinear Translation Here’s the interlinear translation of Genesis 2:18 to 22 from tanakh.info: Facts About Hebrew We can add the following to our facts about Hebrew: 133.

In fact #83, we considered the Strong’s Concordance meaning of the noun daath דעת and the verb yada ידע to mean thinking not doing, but  the man ‘knowing Eve his woman” resulted in her “becoming pregnant and bearing Cain” in Gen. 4:1, evidencing that daath and yada can indicate ‘experiencing’.

The Hebrew Bible is a compilation of books which have been divided into chapters, paragraphs and sentences.  We previously learned that sentences end with a colon, that when followed by the Hebrew letter pe פ marks the end of a petuhah, like a paragraph in English (fact #8).  Similarly, the samekh ס indicates the end […] - [The Real Meaning of Numbers 1 to 7](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/the-real-meaning-of-numbers-1-to-7/): It seemed so simple to accept the numbers 1 to 7 as having a purely numerical meaning.  After all, they appear as such in the English translation of the seven creation days in Genesis 1:1 – 2:3, then in the four rivers of Eden in Genesis 2: 10 – 14, and in numerous lists throughout the Hebrew Bible.  However, in looking at the text of Gen. 2: 10 – 14 it became increasingly evident that Strong’s numbering of words is inconsistent, making their Concordance useless at best, misleading at worst.  There is evidence that translators have taken words used to […] -

Ancient Hebrew did not have vowels and accents, so let’s begin our study of Genesis using the Hebrew Bible without Vowel Points and accents, available on Jesus Spoke Aramaic.    Although […] - [Interpolation and Redaction in the Bible](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/interpolation-and-redaction-in-the-bible/): Interpolations (meaning “the insertion of something of a different nature into something else”) play a major part in redaction (meaning edit, censor or obscure) of the inspired word of God. Other forms of redaction include translation into languages other than the original Hebrew and Greek, mistranslation of key words and phrases, and improper chapter division.  Identifying redaction requires a firm understanding of the message of all Bible text in the original Hebrew and Greek, and a comparison to highlight that which has a different message. A prime example of the opposing messages found in the Bible is in the difference […] - [Is All Scripture Inspired?](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/is-all-scripture-inspired/): One of the most important and most difficult decisions we must make is whether or not we believe “all scripture is inspired” as stated in 2 Tim 3:16.  As I stated in my article on Katharine Bushnell, there are two opposing schools of thought on this.  Some, like Katharine Bushnell, believe that “all scripture is inspired” and some, like Ray Munson, believe there are interpolations that need to be weeded out.  According to Dr. Felix Just, 80% of scholars believe  the Pastoral Epistles and Ephesians  were not authored by Paul and “most likely written late in the first century by […] - [Katharine Bushnell](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/hello-world/): In her book God’s Word to Women, Katharine Bushnell was successful in revealing some of the lies in the traditional understanding of Genesis,  making it a good place to begin our journey. The late Katharine Bushnell (1856 to 1946) was a physician, missionary, author, and Greek and Hebrew  scholar.  Her book, God’s Word to Women, was originally published in 1910 and the last edition in 1923 was republished in 1943 by Ray Munson who recognized its value in drawing attention to inconsistencies in Pauline theology with respect to the female sex.  It is available in electronic form on the internet […] ## Pages - [Introduction](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/introduction/) - [The Hebrew Alphabet](https://genesisdeconstructed.com/the-hebrew-alphabet/) [comment]: # (Generated by Hostinger Tools Plugin)
