GOD Alexander Waugh Page 162 Einstein's blunder. - When Einstein tried to refute quantum physics with his now famous dictum 'God does not play dice' He revealed his ignorance of scripture, for God does indeed play dice in the form of a game called urim and thummim. These flat stone dice are mentioned many times in the Hebrew Bible. Although urim and thummim actually belonged to God (Ps.-Philo 47:2) they were jealously guarded by the high priest either in his ephod (an oracular pouch) or in a pocket by his chest. The exact manner in which urim and thummim was played has been lost to the mysteries of time, but it is thought they provided the same function as a coin when it is flipped for heads or tails. When Saul wished to establish a question of blame he set up the urim and thummim asking: '"Lord God of Israel, if fault lies-with me or my son Jonathan give urim: if the fault lies with your people Israel, give thummim." Jonathan and Saul were indicated and the people went free. Saul then said: "Cast the lot between me and Jonathan," and Jonathan was indicated' (1 Sam. 14:41-2). And Einstein thought that the cosmological constant was his 'biggest blunder'!

Beneath this spot is the earth-supporting head of the cosmic serpent, the dragon, symbolical of the waters of the abyss, which are the divi!le life-creative energy and substance of the demiurge, the world-generative aspect of immortal being.47 The tree of life, i.e., the universe itself, grows from this point. It is rooted in the supporting darkness; the golden sun bird perches on its peak; a spring, the inexhaustible well, bubbles at its foot. Or the figure may be that of a cosmic mountain, with the city of the gods, like a lotus of light, upon its summit, and-in its hollow the cities of the demons, illuminated by precious stones. Again, the figure may be that of the cosmic man or woman (for example the Buddha himself, or the dancing Hindu goddess Kali) seated or standing on this spot, or even fixed to the tree (Attis, Jesus, Wotan); for the hero as the incarnation of God is himself the navel of the world, the umbilical point through which the energies of eternity break into time. Thus the World Navel is the symbol of the continuous creation: the mystery of the maintenance of the world through that continuous miracle of vivification which wells within all things.

SATURN IN TRANSIT BOUNDARIES OF MIND BODY AND SOUL Erin Sullivan 1991 Page 163" All heroes enter a wasteland, and endure times of challenge and testing. There are distinct time periods that are critical for action which are followed by experimentation and then maintenance. If the maintenance period extends beyond its usefulness then another critical period of change-on-demand occurs, and- so on. The archetypal hero's journey with all of its phases and turning-points parallels the Saturn transit as it moves over the angles and travels through the quadrants of the horoscope."

The triumph may be represented as the hero's sexual union with the goddess-mother of the world (sacred marriage), his recognition by the father-creator (father atonement), his own divinization (apotheosis), or again - if the powers have remained unfriendly to him - his theft of the boon he came to gain (bridge-theft, fire-theft); intrinsically it is an expansion of consciousness and therewith of being (illumination, transfiguration, freedom).

crystalinks.com/egyptreligion. The ancient Greek word for interpreter/translator is Hermꮥus, directly related to the name of the god Hermes. MYTHOLOGY Hermes, the herald of the Olympian gods, is son of Zeus and the nymph Maia, daughter of Atlas and one of the Pleiades. Hermes is the god of shepherds, land travel, merchants, weights and measures, oratory, literature, athletics and thieves, and known for his cunning and shrewdness. Most importantly, he is the messenger of the gods. Besides that he was also a minor patron of poetry. He was worshipped throughout Greece - especially in Arcadia - and festivals in his honor were called Hermoea. According to legend, Hermes was born in a cave on Mount Cyllene in Arcadia. Zeus had impregnated Maia at the dead of night while all other gods slept. When dawn broke amazingly he was born. Maia wrapped him in swaddling bands, then resting herself, fell fast asleep. Hermes, however, squirmed free and ran off to Thessaly. This is where Apollo, his brother, grazed his cattle. Hermes stole a number of the herd and drove them back to Greece. He hid them in a small grotto near to the city of Pylos and covered their tracks. Before returning to the cave he caught a tortoise, killed it and removed its entrails. Using the intestines from a cow stolen from Apollo and the hollow tortoise shell, he made the first lyre. When he reached the cave he wrapped himself back into the swaddling bands. When Apollo realized he had been robbed he protested to Maia that it had been Hermes who had taken his cattle. Maia looked to Hermes and said it could not be, as he is still wrapped in swaddling bands. Zeus the all powerful intervened saying he had been watching and Hermes should return the cattle to Apollo. As the argument went on, Hermes began to play his lyre. The sweet music enchanted Apollo, and he offered Hermes to keep the cattle in exchange for the lyre. Apollo later became the grand master of the instrument, and it also became one of his symbols. Later while Hermes watched over his herd he invented the pipes known as a syrinx (pan-pipes), which he made from reeds. Hermes was also credited with inventing the flute. Apollo, also desired this instrument, so Hermes bartered with Apollo and received his golden wand which Hermes later used as his heralds staff. (In other versions Zeus gave Hermes his heralds staff). Being the herald (messenger of the gods), it was his duty to guide the souls of the dead down to the underworld, which is known as a psychopomp. He was also closely connected with bringing dreams to mortals. It was Hermes who liberated Io, the lover of Zeus, from the hundred-eyed giant Argus, who had been ordered by Hera, the jealous wife of Zeus, to watch over her. Hermes charmed the giant with his flute, and while Argos slept Hermes cut off his head and released Io. Hera, as a gesture of thanks to her loyal servant, scattered the hundred eyes of Argos over the tail of a peacock (Heras' sacred bird). Known for his swiftness and athleticism, Hermes was given credit for inventing foot-racing and boxing. At Olympia a statue of him stood at the entrance to the stadium and his statues where in every gymnasium throughout Greece. Apart from herms, Hermes was a popular subject for artists. Both painted pottery and statuary show him in various forms, but the most fashionable depicted him as a good-looking young man, with an athletic body, and winged sandals and his heralds staff. METAPHYSICS Hermes was the Master of all arts and sciences, perfect in all crafts, Ruler of the Three Worlds, Scribe of the Gods, and Keeper of the Books of Life, Thoth Hermes Trismegistus - the Three Times, the "First Intelligencer" - was regarded by the ancient Egyptians as the embodiment of the Universal Mind. While in all probability there actually existed a great sage and educator by the name of Hermes, it is impossible to extricate the historical man from the mass of legendary accounts which attempt to identify him with the Cosmic Principle of Thought. The Emerald Tablets of Thoth Hermes Trismegistus Hermes was Thoth the Egyptian Scribe Who wrote the story of our reality Hermes was Mercury - the Messenger of the Gods. Greek Gods of Mount Olympus - Mercury inherited Hermes' attributes Hermes was the Trickster Representing the Duality of our Reality - Good vs. Evil. In the role of the Trickster he was also the god of thieves and deceit. His lessons are taught by tricking you. Hermes was Merlin the Magician - linked to his role as the Trickster. His lessons are taught by Magic to help you see through the illusion of Time and Emotion. Hermes - Ancient Mystery School Teachings - the Hermetic Orders - which is linked with Alchemy of Consciousness - - Moving to a higher frequency of thought - Releasing the Hermetic seals at the End of Time - Or the Illusion of Time - The release of the soul from the physical form. An end time happens when the grid program of a reality - triggers a release into the next level of consciousness and all souls return to higher light.

The probability of different throws from a pair of dice. It seems as if there is, a "force" or an "invisible hand" which makes the 7 come up most often, but actually this is just a consequence of mathematical probabilities If you had to bet on a single number's coming up, the number to bet on is 7; it has the highest probability. If you had to bet on five out of the eleven numbers coming up, then bet on 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 because they come up two out of three times; the remaining six numbers 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, and 12, . come up only one out of three times. What tells these numbers to turn up with these frequencies? We see that this probability distribution is just a consequence of mathematical combinatorics-adding up the different combinations by which a specific throw can be achieved. But it seems as if there is an "invisible hand" that pushes for the 7 more often than the other numbers. The remarkable feature of probability distri/ Page 94 /

DAILY MAIL Friday, May 25, 2007 ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS Compiled by George Legge QUESTION Is the biblical Commandment THE Hebrew word rawh-tsach (literally 'to dash to pieces') translates more accurately as murder, but the definition of 'murder' in the Bible is somewhat broader than today's. It included causing accidental death. Ending a human life wasn't always viewed as 'murder.' Avenging a proven murder was taken as appropriate punishment. Criminals and offenders could also be hanged (Deuteronomy 21, v 22), stoned or even burned in public executions. According to Numbers 35, a law was passed that provided refuge from the revenge by the family of the deceased for a person who killed another 'without intent'. This was in the form of three cities of refuge on either side of the River Jordan. The refugee could remain safely in these six cities

Though laymen such as Gideon, David, and Solomon offered sacrifice as God commanded, the Hebrew priesthood was hereditary. comparison with Israelites In liturgical usage, an Israelite is a Jew who is neither a cohen (descendant of Aaron, the first high priest) nor a Levite (descendant of early religious functionaries). The distinction is significant, for if a cohen is present for synagogue service, he must be called up first for the reading of the Law; he is then followed by a Levite.

Note 1 1 O Weinreich ("Zum Tode des Grossen Pan," ARW 13 [1910] pp. 467-73) has collected the evidence for such strange notions, first found in 1549 (GuiJIaume Bigot), then three years later in Rabelais' Pantagruel, and ridiculed in later times, e.g., by Fontenelle, in the beginning of the 18th century: "Ce grand Pan qui meurt sous Tibere, aussi bien que Jesus-Christ, est le Maistre des Demons, dont l'Empire est ruine par cette mort d'un Dieu si salutaire a l'Univers; ou si cette explication ne vous plaist pas, car enfin on peut sans impiete donner des sens contraires a une mesme chose, quoy qu'elle regarde la Religion; ce grand Pan est Jesus-Christ luy-mesme, dont la mort cause une douleur et une consternation generale parmy les Demons, qui ne peuvent plus exercer leur tirannie sur les hommes. C'est ainsi qu'on a trouve moyen de donner a ce grand Pan deux faces bien differentes" (Weinreich, pp. 472-73).

DAILY MAIL Thursday, May 24, 2007 ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS Compiled by George Legge More taxation, vicar? QUESTION Page 80 "How did Conrad Noel come to be called The Red Vicar of Thaxted? THE Hon Rev. Conrad Noel (18691942) was an ancestor of mine. He was the son of respected minor poet Roden Baptist Wriothesley Noel, and grandson of Charles Noel, Viscount Campden and first Earl (second creation) of Gains borough. Conrad was much influenced by his poet father's socialism, thoUgh the latter advocated peaceful means to change society while Conrad's political views verged on the revolutionary. Roden's effect on Conrad was particularly strong in giving him an imaginative sympathy for the outcasts of society. Intending to follow a family tradition by going into the Church, Conrad was originally refused ordination because he was regarded as a Pantheist, subscribing to the belief that God and the universe were identical, denying the personality and transcendence of God. His suspected support of Pantheism was based on his known approval of his father's opinion, expressed in a letter, that: 'Pan is Once accepted by the Church, he veered away from the Anglican Church's evangelical wing, traditionally supported by his family, to embrace extreme Anglo-Catholicism. But he disapproved of anything he deemed 'Romeish', despite the conversion of the main line of his family to Roman Catholicism. Conrad held that the Church of England was the only true home of Catholic Christianity. He was a colourful character of diverse talents whose chief claim to fame was his championing of Christian Socialism. As vicar of Thaxted, Essex, from 1910 until his death in 1942, he became famous for his fiery sermons in favour of High Anglicanism ,and Socialism - hence the 'Red Vicar"tag. Actively assisted by his curate, Jack Putterill (dubbed 'the other Red Vicar ofThaxted'), he founded the Order of Christian Socialists. He wrote several books on socialism, particularly in connection with ecclesiastical matters, and, just before he died, dictated an autobiography published after his death entitled Conrad Le Despencer Roden Noel: An Autobiography, edited by Sidney Dark (J.M.

SUPERSTITIONS of the highlands and islands of scotland and witchcraft and second sight IN THE HIGHLANDS AND ISLANDS Edited by Ronald Black 2005 Page 161 THE RED BOOK OF APPIN
The first who got the book rode an entire horse (an animal that no evil power can touch) to a meeting of witches.555 The devil wrote in a red book the names of the assembled company. The man, instead of letting the devil write his name, asked to be allowed to do so himself. On getting the book for that purpose he made off with it. By another account (and the person from whom it was heard was positive as to its being the only correct account) it was got by a young lad under the following circumstances. The youth was apprenticed to the miller at Bearachan on Loch Awe- side. His master was unkind, and made him work more than he was fit for. One night he was up late finishing a piece of work. About midnight a gentleman, whom he did not recognise, entered the mill and accosted him kindly. Turning the conversation that ensued on the harsh conduct of the miller, the stranger promised to better the unhappy prentice's condition if they met at the Cama-Linn (`Crooked Pool') in the Monadh Meadhonach ('Middle Mountain') on a certain night.'556 An assignation to that effect was made, but after the strange gentleman went away the lad got frightened, and next day told about the visitor he had. A conclave of sixteen ministers was called, and the matter was deliberated upon. As the youth had given his promise it was deemed necessary he should keep it, but he was advised to take a wand with him and at the place appointed trace a circle with it round himself, out of which he was not to move,, whatever temptation or terrors the stranger might bring to bear upon him. A committee of the clergy went to watch on a neighbouring eminence the result of the interview. The strange gentleman came at the appointed hour, and before giving the money promised, civilly asked the lad to write his name in a book. For this purpose the book was not handed but thrown to the youth, and he, on getting it into his possession, refused to give it up again. The strange gentleman now showed himself in his true colours. Finding remon-/ Page 162 / strances and coaxing of no avail to get the book or the lad out of the circle, he got wild, and tried the effects of terror. First he became a grizzled greyhound (mial-chu riabhach) and came wildly dashing against the circle; then a roaring bull; then a flock of crows (sgaoth rocais) sweeping above the youth, so near that the wind caused by their wings would have carried him out of the circle if he had not clung to the heather. When cock-crowing time came the devil abandoned his attempts and disappeared. The book became the 'Red Book of Appin', and was last in possession of the Stewarts of Invernahyle (Inbhir na h-Aoile).557 Page 178
An entire horse could not be touched by evil spirits, and its rider was safe from the attacks of witchcraft. A person in the neighbourhood of Luing, Argyllshire, returning from a funeral, found himself unable to make any progress on his road home, though he did his utmost all night to get on. He was retarded by some unseen influence. He rode an entire horse, and found himself safe at daybreak. His safety lay in the horse he rode.' 607 The famed 'Red Book of Appin', according to one version of the tale, was got by one who rode an entire horse to a meeting of witches, and having got hold of the book, made off with it in despite of the devil and all his servants. In a West Highland tale (ii., 87), the owner of the 'Red Book' advises the shoe of an entire horse to be nailed on the byre door to counteract the witches who were taking the milk from the cows.'608 The shoes of entire horses probably are the proper kind to use, though others came into use from being found equally efficacious.

As with many mythological tales, details vary depending on the source. (For a more complete treatment, see Paris) Zeus (Jupiter) held a banquet in celebration of the marriage of Peleus and Thetis. Left off the guest list was Eris (goddess of discord), and upon turning up uninvited she threw a golden apple on to the table, with the inscription καλλιστι ('for the fairest'). Three goddesses claimed the apple: Hera (Juno), Athena (Minerva) and Aphrodite (Venus). They asked Zeus to judge which of them was fairest, and eventually Zeus declared that Paris, a Phrygian mortal, would judge their cases. All three of the candidates attempted to bribe Paris; Hera offered to make him king of Europe and Asia, Athena offered skill in wisdom and war, and Aphrodite offered the love of the world's most beautiful woman. This was Helen of Sparta, wife of the Greek king Menelaus. Paris accepted Aphrodite's gift, receiving Helen and the enmity of the Greeks. The Greeks' expedition to retrieve Helen is the borderline mythological basis of the Trojan War.

She was particularly welcomed at Athens. The geographer Strabo (book x, 3:18) made some useful observations: "Just as in all other respects the Athenians continue to be hospitable to things foreign, so also in their worship of the gods; for they welcomed so many of the foreign rites ... the Phrygian [rites of Rhea-Cybele are mentioned] by Demosthenes, when he casts the reproach upon Aeskhines' mother and Aeskhines himself, that he was with her when she conducted initiations, that he joined her in leading the Dionysiac march, and that many a time he cried out evoe saboe, and hyes attes, attes hyes; for these words are in the ritual of Sabazios and the Mother [Rhea]."

SHEBA CONQUERS KYBELE Going back again to the Kabeiri shouting of, "evoe saboe," and "'hyes attes," we might translate "evoe," as do many websites, as Eve, but this may not be ... www.tribwatch.com/sheba.htm "It's interesting that Zagreus was cut into pieces with a knife by Titans (Dedanites?), this having the meaning that a single peoples was scattered in many directions so as to make many branches (and such were the Apiru as per historical documents, clinging to various peoples/rulers wherever they found acceptance). And so I went to a website explaining Zagreus, and when I came across the phrase written by Strabo, "...Aeskhines' mother and Aeskhines himself...", my mind focused in because I had been looking for such a term to describe the Ashkenazi Hebrews of Iran, for it was in Iran that the Ashkenazi Aryans lived, and so I expected that the proto-Kabala Hebrews had mixed with them there. Ashkenaz was the literal brother of Togarmah, and they were literal sons of Gomer (Genesis 10:3), for we can't compare the literal approach of the Bible to the non-literal approach of mythology. I also noticed the spelling of "Aeskhines," starting with "Aes" as it does, and wondered if the Aesir pantheon of Scandinavia wasn't from this very Hebrew-Aryan mix. I was about to be proven correct within minutes, for immediately afterward, in the same Strabo sentence, there was this that caught my eye : "...when [Aeskhines' mother] conducted initiations, that [Aeskhines] joined her in leading the Dionysiac march, and that many a time he cried out 'evoe saboe,' and 'hyes attes, attes hyes'; for these words are in the ritual of Sabazios [Zagreos] and the Mother... - Strabo, Geography 10.3.18" (Zagreos brackets not mine). http://www.theoi.com/Georgikos/Zagreus.html I stared at that cry. What did it mean. I went searching online to find the meaning because it wasn't given in the article. I couldn't find the translation. But as I stared at the phrase, knowing that "attes" was Attis, it hit me like a ton of bullion that "saboe" was Kybele! And when I saw that Zagreus was the same as Sabazios, it was like when a man searches for pecans under a pecan tree, months after harvest when nuts are scarce, and when he sees one and stoops to pick it up, he looks forward and sees two more, and as he picks them up he looks slightly to the side and sees four more. Then he looks up and sees that he is directly under a pay-load branch that had held its fruit for an extra-ordinary span of time."

ISAIAH CHAPTER 55 "Ho all who are thirsty, come to water…" (v 1). "After the war of Gog and Magog the nations will recognize that God rules over all and that there is none beside Him, and then they will come to Jerusalem to learn God's laws and teachings… Water is a metaphor for Torah and wisdom – for just as the world cannot survive without water, so the world cannot survive without wisdom, and just as a thirsty person craves for water, so the wise soul craves for Torah and wisdom… The Torah is also compared to wine and milk. Just as wine makes the heart rejoice, so do words of Torah. And just as milk keeps a baby alive and makes it grow, so words of Torah keep the soul alive and make it grow" (RaDaK ad loc.). "Why do you spend money for that which is not bread?" (v 2) – "Why should you pay your enemies money without receiving bread?" (Rashi ad loc.) "Why do you pay a high price to study alien systems of wisdom and philosophy that have no benefit?" (Metzudas David ad loc.) "Hear and your soul shall live" (v 3) – "Listen to Me and you will merit to stand in the resurrection in the days of Mashiach" (Metzudas David ad loc.). "And I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure loving promises of David" (v 3) – "This is Mashiach, for he will be called by the name of David… He will be the teacher of the nations 'and he will judge between the nations and rebuke many peoples' (Is. 2:4)" (RaDaK ad loc.). "Seek HaShem while He may be found…" (v 6). Isaiah now addresses the people in exile, calling on them to repent. They should seek God "while He may be found" – i.e. "BEFORE the decree is finalized, while He is still telling you to seek Him out" (Rashi). "…while He is NEAR" – "seek Him in such a way that He will be near, i.e. when you seek Him WITH ALL YOUR HEART" (RaDaK). "Seek out the fear of HaShem while you are still alive" (Targum). "For My thoughts are not as Your thoughts…" (v 8) "My laws are not like the laws of flesh and blood. In your world, if a man admits to a crime he is judged guilty, but by My law, 'Whoever confesses and forsakes [his sins] shall be shown mercy' (Proverbs 28:13)" (Rashi on v 8). "If a man commits an offense against his fellow, he takes vengeance on him and will not forgive him, and even if he forgives him on the surface he nurses a grudge in his heart… But I am full of forgiveness. And when I forgive, I do so in truth, and no trace of the sin remains" (RaDaK on v 8). "For as the rain comes down… and does not return there but waters the earth…" (v 9) – "The rain and the snow do not return to the skies through evaporation without first watering the earth… Sometimes a person sends someone to do something but the agent comes back without accomplishing his mission. But 'My word… shall not return to Me empty'" (Metzudas David ad loc.). "For you shall go out with joy…" (v 12). The redemption will bring great joy. Moreover, joy – SIMCHAH – itself is the avenue that leads to redemption. "It is a great mitzvah to be joyful always" (Rabbi Nachman of Breslov). "Instead of the thorn, the cypress shall arise…" (v 13) – "In place of the wicked, the righteous will rise up" (Rashi ad loc.). The "thorn" and the "nettle" refer to Haman and Vashti, while the "cypress" and the "myrtle refer to Mordechai and Esther (Megillah 10b). CHAPTER 56 "Guard justice and practice charity, for My salvation is near to come…" (v 1). "Great is charity for it brings the redemption closer" (Bava Kama 10a). "Great is Teshuvah for it brings the redemption closer. Great is charity for it brings salvation closer" (Yoma 87a). "Happy is the man that does this… that keeps the Sabbath…" (v 2). "The Sabbath is mentioned specifically at this juncture because the prophet is addressing the people in exile, urging them to improve their ways in order to leave their exile, and the best of all pathways is the observance of the Sabbath, while the exile from the land came about because of the transgression of the Sabbath" (RaDaK on v 2). "Whoever observes the Sabbath according to its laws, even if he worshiped idols as in the days of Enosh, he will be forgiven… If Israel kept two Sabbaths according to the law, they would be redeemed immediately" (Shabbos 118b). "Let not the son of the stranger who has joined himself to HaShem say, HaShem will surely separate me from His people, nor let the eunuch say, Behold I am a dry tree" (v 3). The "son of the stranger" is a convert who does not have children after his conversion; he is similar to a "eunuch" who has no children… Such a convert may think that he will not be considered a member of HaShem's people either in this world or in the world to come, and likewise the childless may think that if he leaves no son after him it is as if he never came into the world and God takes no favor in him, since God created the world for the sake of procreation…" (RaDaK on v 3). But quite the contrary, God promises that those childless "that will observe My Sabbaths" (=the weekly Sabbaths and the Sabbatical years, RaDaK) will receive "in My House and within My walls (=the Temple in Jerusalem ) a place and a name (YAD VASHEM) better than sons and daughters" (v 5). [The name YAD VASHEM has been given to Israel 's Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem .] Likewise God promises the "children of the stranger" that "I shall bring them to My holy mountain and make them joyful in My House of Prayer…" (v 7). "Just as a person brings a guest into his home and receives him gladly, so God says, I shall command the priests to accept them gladly when they come to convert, and they will rejoice when they see themselves in the Temple courtyard year by year with the people of Israel" (RaDaK). "For My house shall be called the House of Prayer for all the nations (v 7) – "Not only for Israel alone but also for those of the nations who convert" (see Rashi and Metzudas David ad loc.). "HaShem God who gathers the outcasts of Israel says, Yet will I gather others to him, besides those of him that are already gathered" (v 8): "I shall gather in more converts to be added to all the ingathered people of Israel " (Metzudas David). "All you beasts of the field: come into the forest to devour all the beasts thereof" (v 9). "The beasts of the field do not have as much strength as the beasts of the forest. The 'beasts of the field' refers to the gentiles who will not harden their hearts but will convert. They shall 'devour' (win over?) those who harden their hearts and continue their rebellion" (Metzudas David ad loc.). "His watchmen are all blind: they are ignorant…" (v 10). This verse begins a new section of five verses continuing until chapter 57 v 2 (notwithstanding the conventional chapter break in printed Bibles, which violates the continuity of the Hebrew text). "After completing the previous prophecy of consolation, the prophet returns to rebuking the wicked people of his generation" (RaDaK on v 10). "The prophet began by saying, 'Seek out HaShem' (Is. 55:6) but the people do not listen. He therefore now says: See how the prophets are crying to them to repent for their own wellbeing, but their leaders are all like blind men who do not see what is developing. They are like a watcher appointed to see if the sword is approaching in order to warn the people, but he is blind and fails to see the sword coming, dumb and unable to warn the people – like a dog appointed to guard the house but he is dumb and does not bark. Likewise the leaders of Israel fail to warn the people to repent… Just as dogs never know satisfaction, these 'shepherds' do not know or understand what will happen at the end of days… 'Every one is out for his own gain': They rob the rest of the people over whom they are appointed" (Rashi on vv 10-11). Let us be the ones who hear the call of HaShem in order that our souls shall live!

Then said I, Here am I; send me. 9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. 10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed. 11 Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate, 12 And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land. 13 But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.

Ehyeh asher ehyeh is generally interpreted to mean "I will be what I will ...en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_God_in_JudaismEhyeh-Asher-EhyehThe name Ehyeh (Hebrew: אֶהְיֶה) denotes God's potency in the immediate future, and is part of YHWH. The phrase "ehyeh-asher-ehyeh" (Exodus) 3:14) is interpreted by some authorities as "I will be because I will be", using the second part as a gloss and referring to God's promise, "Certainly I will be [ehyeh] with thee" (Exodus 3:12). Other authorities claim that the whole phrase forms one name. The Targum Onkelos leaves the phrase untranslated and is so quoted in the Talmud (B. B. 73a). The "I am that I am" of the Authorised Version is based on this view. "I am that I am" (Hebrew: אהיה אשר אהיה, pronounced Ehyeh asher ehyeh) is the sole response used in (Exodus 3:14) when Moses asked for God's name. It is one of the most famous verses in the Hebrew Bible. Hayah means "existed" or "was" in Hebrew; ehyeh is the first-person singular imperfect form. Ehyeh asher ehyeh is generally interpreted to mean "I will be what I will be", I shall be what I shall be or I am that I am (King James Bible and others). The Tetragrammaton itself may derive from the same verbal root. HASHEM Jewish Law requires that secondary rules be placed around the primary law, to reduce the chance that the main law will be broken. As such, it is common Jewish practice to restrict the use of the word Adonai to prayer only. In conversation, many Jewish people will call God "Hashem", which is Hebrew for "the Name" (this appears in Leviticus 24:11). Many Jews extend this prohibition to some of the other names listed below, and will add additional sounds to alter the pronunciation of a name when using it outside of a liturgical context, such as kel or elokim. While other names of God in Judaism are generally restricted to use in a Liturgicalcontext, Hashem is used in more casual circumstances. Hashem is used by Orthodox Jews so as to avoid saying Adonai outside of a ritual context. For example, when Orthodox Jews make audio recordingsof prayer services, they generally substitute Hashem for Adonai--for example, this pattern is used during all prayers in the movie Ushpizin.

Novus Ordo Seclorum - Origin and Meaning of the Motto Beneath the ... An accurate translation of Novus Ordo Seclorum is "A New Order of the Ages," but the meaning of this motto is better understood when seen in its original ...
NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM – Origin and Meaning "Novus Ordo Seclorum" was the motto suggested in 1782 by Charles Thomson, the Founding Father chosen by the Continental Congress to come up with the final design for the Great Seal of the United States. On June 20, 1782, Congress approved Thomson's design for both sides of the Great Seal whose official description states: "On the base of the pyramid the numerical letters MDCCLXXVI He put the motto at the bottom of the reverse side where its meaning ties into the imagery above it: the unfinished pyramid with the date MDCCLXXVI (1776). Thomson did not provide an exact translation of the motto, but he explained its symbolism: Novus Ordo Seclorum signifies "the beginning of the new American Æra," which commences from 1776. The farsighted founders of the United States thought in terms of ages. They looked back into history as well as forward, realizing their actions would have long-lasting consequences. In January 1776, Thomas Paine inspired the Colonies with a vision of this new American Era. In Common Sense he wrote: "The cause of America is in a great measure the cause of all mankind... 'Tis not the concern of a day, a year, or an age; posterity are virtually involved in the contest, and will be more or less affected, even to the end of time, by the proceedings now." In his farewell letter to the Army (June 8, 1783), George Washington wrote: "The foundation of our Empire was not laid in the gloomy age of Ignorance and Superstition, but at an Epocha when the rights of mankind were better understood and more clearly defined, than at any former period." Translating NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM Novus means: new, young, novel. Discover the source of Novus Ordo Seclorum. NOTE: Novus ordo seclorum does not properly translate into "new world order," which is an English phrase that, if converted to Latin, would not be novus ordo seclorum. Seclorum is a plural form (new worlds order?), and Thomson specifically said the motto refers to "the new American era" commencing in 1776.

Source of NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM The following passage at the beginning of the poem refers to the Sibyl who prophesied the fate of the Roman empire. For a better sense of the Latin text's meaning, below are two translations (by James Rhoades and by C. S. Calverley). Now the last age by Cumae's Sibyl sung Under thy guidance, whatso tracks remain Come are those last days that the Sybil sang: Thou, trampling out what prints our crimes have left, That key phrase (bolded above) has also been translated as: The original Latin in Virgil's Eclogue IV (line 5) is: Thomson could read Latin, and Virgil was his one of his favorite poets. Inspired by the above passage, he coined the motto: "Novus Ordo Seclorum" and placed it beneath the unfinished pyramid where he explained it signifies "the beginning of the new American Æra," which commences from the Declaration of Independence in 1776. An accurate translation of Novus Ordo Seclorum is: NOTE: Seclorum is a shortened form of seculorum, where the first "u" is deleted. In Latin poetry, it was very common to drop a letter in the middle of a word in order to preserve the meter of the poem – a device known as syncope. Another proper spelling is "sæculorum." "æ" is an example of a ligature where two letters are combined into a single character. Virgil also influenced the motto above the eye of Providence. Annuit Coeptis was inspired by The Georgics. And Virgil's epic masterpiece, The Aeneid describes an ancient symbol of peace held by the American Bald Eagle, the olive branch. Back to Novus Ordo Seclorum. Great Seal ©2009 GreatSeal.com
