A view of the Bible and Sumerian history - In search of Heavenly Parents' children

In 1982 Father told the seminarians1 ‘..but there are several holes in the Principle which no one knows what it is. Even in the books containing True Father’s speech, they don’t cover this’. This compels this writer, and all students of the Principle and Father’s words, to study and investigate.

In 1983 Father said, ‘You Moonies are the last people to know because you don’t study, you don’t investigate’2.

In 19833 Father said ‘.. those Ph.D.’s in religion and theology become the obstacles for their religious practice. Those persons insist that they studied it all, and are trying to judge things by their own knowledge. Persons with a great amount of erudite knowledge will probably never have opportunity to be spiritually attuned. But a grandmother in the countryside, totally uneducated, who totally gives the credit to God and the spirit world — by doing so, great things can happen. Let’s say the intellectual person who has already done something great, already attributes that success to himself, “I have a Ph.D. and I can do this much.” He takes the credit to himself and spirit world is cut off’.

On May 12, 19914 Father tells us that Adam & Eve were the first messiahs. This is not the same as the first man & woman. The implications are deep. To whom were they to be messiahs if they were supposedly the first?

In 1992 Father said ‘Father is not going to tell you everything. That is up to you to research. Don’t be lazy5’.

In ‘A lifetime devoted to God’s liberation’6 Father says: ‘Tens of tens of millions of years have passed since the creation of humankind. It is not just six thousand years as the Bible indicates based on the history of cultures recorded in its pages. Actually, it has been tens of millions of years since God decided to begin the providence of salvation. 7/3/92’.

Another key piece of the Genesis puzzle is in looking at Father’s commissioning of The News World supplement, ‘UFOs and Other Cosmic Phenomena’7 in the early 1980s. Many people balked at the supplement for being unserious, but Father repeatedly said he was a serious person8, just as now we see Mother being very serious.

In this paper I take the liberty to study and investigate the Genesis story with the intent of bringing to a forefront Heavenly Parent’s missing children, our probable ancestors, makers and siblings in God, who today we call extraterrestrials, then known as Anunnaki In Sumerian exits, or Nephilim in the Bible. They are part of another group of God’s children needing restoration, i.e., True Parents.

A big question came to me many years back, ‘why did God wait so long to create His children?’ Another question was, ‘who originally was able to encode vertically with restorative understanding, horizontal history that had taken place?’ Very enlightened, people with revelations, I think. We seek a world without symbolism, metaphors or literature obstructing Heaven; without obstacles to clear understanding, peace and harmony; i.e., a world that can welcome Heavenly Parents without barriers. The point is that in all ideological battles, each party tells their side of the story, using their own terms and perspectives.

From a few analyses we can understand that the Bible creation story confirms restoration history. As we’ll see, there are many converging points, but also seemingly purposeful, cold rejections & omissions of peoples not fitting their agenda, those establishing Adam & Eve as God’s first children; an Abel type arrogance seen throughout history. Is this collateral damage due to the simplification of history?

Editors and Winners A theory that came to me is that even biblical stories have factual historical roots. Editors tell a story, putting their spin on it. This I see in the Bible / Holy Books stories too, compared to original Sumerian creation texts. Heaven clearly needs their story told. Today, through the Internet, we have quick and easy access to a wide variety of ancient texts; we need to bring them all together, and not exclude any; we should not see any story as fiction, but as reports of past events.

This being so, Genesis would be no exception. Holy scriptures exist based on reports of events which are to be taken potentially as fact, albeit, they need verifying. There’s an interpretation of facts into a vertical restorative perspective, much as we’ve seen Father often do, making them vertical offerings; for example, history dates are rounded off to restoration numbers; Noah followed his conscience, he followed Anu’s Abel younger Anunnaki / Nephilim son, Enki. In the Bible we see God saw Noah was a good person. God took what was a success of heart in a less-than-perfect environment and incorporated it in His providence of restoration, in this case, using the restoration Principle of Cain uniting with Abel.

The difference in Bible / Holy Books details in stories compared to Mesopotamian creation myths, indicates that restoration took place. Place names, numbers and event details are changed for symbolic restoration purposes, setting aside factual details so as to advance restoration education. I.E., we have to look back and study existing texts for applicable facts, a reminder that religion is not meant to fight, challenge or deny facts or science, since religion is symbolic, metaphoric and restorative in nature. Religion is there to show that God is behind history in His quest to restore mankind, His children. We are studying the same story, but with a different angle for the purpose of restoration. There are restoration Principles in the Holy Books. God would never cause war or destruction, but would make it seem as if He were behind some destructive activities. God cannot be involved in human activity, since it’s we who are responsible for restoration, and Satan would accuse. God only works with results9. He depends on humans acting out our consciences.

By no means will this intro be all-inclusive, but merely a door to confirm that Heavenly Parent’s grief is far older than the mere 6,000 biblical years we have studied; that we are not just the young creation we think we are, analyzed from the perspective of ancient history, as seen in footnote 6 above. Using Adam & Eve as a creation starting point simplifies an old complex story; but it also cuts us off from far deeper roots, as failed as they might appear to us, but of great importance to Heavenly Parent.

Adam & Eve being God’s first children excludes those preceding them. In 199010, and several other times, Father said ‘People have come & gone in the last 100 million years’. Heavenly Father must also have been disheartened at biblical rejection or ignoring of His ‘elder’ children, seeing how the Holy Books omit any mention of the elders’ role or even existence. It feels like ethnic cleansing. Biblical history evolved without human roots. It is one thing to lament or censure ancestral failures, it’s another to altogether deny their existence. Metaphorically Father said we’re orphans; but we also do not acknowledge our remote past siblings in Heavenly Parent. True Parents forgave them when he forgave Adam & Eve, & freed Heavenly Father of His Han of missing His children. The time has come to embrace all God’s temples, all His children.

I recommend reading three texts: Enuma Elish11,12, Enoch13 and the Bible14. They would be of interest. I’m not a trained scholar, nor is anyone coaching me, nor do I have a patron; no one is sponsoring or in any way backing this study; it comes to me as revelation. Enuma Elish creation story shows many details which are reportedly factual, so again, they need verification. Enoch appears to be 9 Divine Principle ‘..God does not interfere with a person’s efforts to fulfill his portion of responsibility, but treats him according to

the results of his actions.’ 10 http://www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/SunMyungMoon90/SunMyungMoon-900503.pdf

spiritual, a receiver of revelations, a channeler of Heavenly information; some even say he’s Zoroaster15. The terms Enoch uses are in line with Zoroastrian thought. The way to analyze his spiritual downloads is through the Principle. The timelines in these texts are conjecture; we have no time reference.

I consider the spirit of the word vs the letter of the word. In law, for example, there’s the spirit of the law vs the letter of the law. In the Bible the spirit of the word concerns restoration.

I don’t give my opinion; I try to stick to the facts I read, and give some comments. The basic formats I work with are to stick to mentions in texts16.

Heaven’s lost Children Reason for new interpretation

About 150 years ago the Bible was being compared to the Enuma Elish, and became a hot topic when tablets were being discovered and people wanted confirmation of Bible history. Adventurers and discoverers went to the Middle East to find confirmation that the Bible was the oldest text around. However, the more they dug the more they found the Enuma Elish is from before 2000 BC; i.e., older than the Bible.

What has not been studied and answered is why the Bible told creation stories decidedly different from what the older texts told? Why the difference in content? Having so much clear history in written form in front of them, why did the Bible compilers make such changes?

Revelations from God have the purpose of restoring His children. This has been Heavenly Parent’s main concern throughout history, going back the hundreds of millions of restoration years that our True Parents mentioned.

In the Divine Principle we learn that restoration is not done haphazardly, but according to restoration laws.

A clear indication that it was God who is behind the writings is that recorded activities in the Bible take place in periods of time according to restoration numbers, which don’t fit actual historical facts. While at first glance they appear as errors, we must clarify differences. The reality is that the Bible will only by chance coincide perfectly with factual historic events, because of the above mentioned reasons. This also shocked me as too perfect; proof that humans were going through a restoration course.

There are many changes / differences found in the Bible, compared to ancient Sumerian creation stories. The only purpose is to fit a narrative consistent with following restoration principles bringing God’s children back to His bosom. In great part, the stories are simplified; enough for the

16 Revelation = returning resurrection including from long ago. However, we must have the internal and external base to receive it.

above mentioned purpose. Anthropomorphism makes easy teaching. Servant of servants are not culturally spiritual or internal. The Bible was breaking new ground.

Another important purpose for this writing is to tell of Heavenly Father’s other children, who He has to restore, going back hundreds of millions of years. They too need restoration and True Parents.

To make the Bible acceptable and more easily received by a more general public, a simple creation history was symbolically written. Studying creation histories from around the world we find that there are many creation myths waiting to be corroborated with Mesopotamian creation myths.

I mentioned above, our siblings / ancestors need True Parents. Evidence of this is that there are constant mentions of wars, oppression, and other activities inconsistent with Godliness. God does not create disharmony. This means a Fall originally took place at an untold time in the past. Our humans have since experienced another Fall. Our Heavenly Parent has been waiting since the first Fall for the appearance of True Parents. In the meantime we are discovering that the level of destruction and violent deaths cover the universe over long years; it paralyses the mind. A look at our society today and over the last century, shows near atomic level world destruction being threatened. We see signs that not many thousands of years ago there were already wars of nuclear proportions in different parts on earth.

As if in collateral damage, Holy Books have ignored Heaven’s older children. These are people, who while not perfect, are God’s children & have helped God advance His providence including until what we have now, True Parents, Heaven’s first perfected children.

It’s no coincidence that a major wave of extraterrestrials have begun appearing on earth since the US conducted its first atomic explosions in the 1940s. These beings see what path we humans are on; and going on historic evidence, fear the worst. They know Satan, they’ve experienced him. However, they are not permitted to intervene in helping us. This final God-Satan war is to be fought only among humans without external help; it our battle. The cosmos is waiting. It’s a war of heart vs the worst of cosmic level destructive weapons. True Parents won the war through heart. We’re fighting the last battles. Our cosmic siblings didn’t just come or appear or even disappear. They’ve been here, among us, all along. They see the unwelcoming atmosphere among humans towards them, lead by self-serving governments. Not being recognized, they stay away, appearing only at a safe distance for short periods of time. This is why countless sightings take place, but without much direct contact. Unable to control them, governments officially deny their existence while secretly work with them; but governments also try to keep them at bay, confiscating military & other secrets, like cosmic level sibling rivalry. It seems some cosmic siblings need our help.

God’s sorrowful tears have been dammed up for hundreds of millions of years. God has been waiting to be liberated. It’s our move.
