Could Ancient Gods Really Have Existed?
            
Man is a Spiritual Being or the Art Would Not Have Survived

Notes of Jim Bynum

Before we can accept EPA's statement that God was the original entity that ordered the
spreading of human waste on fruits and vegetables could be true, we need more than a
verse from the Old Testament and blind faith. We need some sort of evidence, other than
textual references, written by some ancient writers who hated the children of Abraham.

Who were these Gods who walked, talked, ate, drank, did artificial insemination, and flew in
the sky? Most important, where did they live and what evidence was left behind. In the last 60
years or so, we have developed the technology of the ancient Gods.

Descriptive literature from so long ago leaves much to the imagination. However, surviving
works of art does give us clues. One of the oldest works of art is of a chimera cherub with a
wheel on it's tail. This allows us to look at the description of the wheels given by Ezekiel in a
new perspective. Since technology has advanced so much, is it possible to find a modern
equivalent to compare with the ancient art and text.

I must admit it took the aeronautical engineers at Sud Aviation to make the connection
between ancient flying Gods and modern helicopter aviation. The connection appears to
have been made when a illustration of the
Chibcha Indian sun god from South America was
published in France in 1964. The illustration had a wheel within a wheel in motion on the tail.
From this the Fenestron (rotor blades within a window) tail assembly was developed. The
only mistake was the ancient fenestron tail assembly only had four blades rather than the 8
to 18 used in the modern design.

Having worked in helicopter maintenance Ezekiel's description of the works and lighting
sounded like a helicopter. The wheel within a wheel was confusing until I saw the Chibcha
illustration and then found the French helicopter with the fenestron (wheel in a window) tail  
assembly.

A Search for God in the Old Testament.

The description in Genesis sounds very much like a military outpost where the local
population was drafted, or paid, to do the daily maintenance work of serving the group. The
military still does the same today.

In Genesis we find that God created a garden East of Eden and put man in there to take care
of it. The problems started one day as God was walking through the garden and Adam and
Eve heard Him talking. For some reason they were kicked out of the garden and they were
sent to till the ground from where Adam had first been taken to serve God in the garden.

Adam and Eve's oldest child, Cain, actually worked the land while the youngest, Abel, tended
to the animals. Both supplied food to God in the garden. Apparently, God liked meat better
that vegetables, which upset Cain enough to cause him to kill his brother Abel. However, God
would not let anyone hurt Cain for that act.

It is evident that God was not alone in the garden as the sons of God saw the local women
were beautiful and took all of them they wanted as wives. These sons of God were the mighty
men of old, men of renown.  

It is also written that God placed
Cherubims and a flaming sword flashing back and forth East
of the garden to keep the way of the tree of life. In reviewing the Book of Ezekiel, and
religious art, it is clear the helicopter main rotor mast with the blades (wings) was the tree of
life with its own spirit.

Artificial Insemination -- implantation of fertilized eggs

According Genesis Sarah, wife of Abraham, was made pregnant by God when she was 90
years old and he was 100. The son was Isaac. In Judges 13, we find that Manoah's old
barren wife was made pregnant by an angel and the offspring was the mighty Samson. Of
course in the New Testament it is an angel who causes not only the virgin Mary to become
pregnant with Jesus, but according to Luke, her older barren cousin Elisabeth also who gave
birth to John, who baptised Jesus.

A Search for the Cherub

According to David in 2 Samuel 22, God "rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen
upon the wings of the wind." In 1 Kings 6 it is written that Solomon built two cherubims in the
temple out of wood. They stood 10 cubits high. The two wings were 5 cubits long, touching
each other in the middle, with a total length from wing tip to wing tip of 10 cubits.

In 2 Chronicles 3, Solomon's cherubims were images of the working model. When Ezekiel first
saw God in the working model of the cherub at dusk by the river of Chebar. He said, the
"hand of the LORD was there upon him.".

He first thought the cherub were visions. Then he describes them as living creatures with a
man inside
coming out of dusk shining brightly like a fire with a light the color of amber
infolding itself. Another
living creature was attached which looked like burning coals, or a
lamp, from which lightening when forth up and down among the cherubim. This reminds us of
the flaming sword flashing back and forth from the cherubims at the garden of Eden

Moreover, he describes the whirlwind of dust created as each one landed on four straight
legs with a large pad like a calf's hoof. As they landed he said, "I heard the noise of their
wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the
noise of an host." Ezekiel describes the wings in motion. He said, "As for their rings, they
were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four."

Ezekiel wasn't dreaming when he said, over the "firmament were their
wings straight, the one
toward the other: every one had two, which covered on this side, and every one had two,
which covered on that side, their bodies."  He noted all four wings were joined together at a
center point.

He said the "firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the colour of the terrible
crystal [ice], stretched forth over their heads above. Under the "firmament that was over their
heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the
likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it." When
they landed, "there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they
stood, and had let down their wings."

Most impressive is the description of the
night lights within the cockpit. Ezekiel said, "I saw as
the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the
appearance of
his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were
the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about."

He was struck by the appearance of the cherub as he looked at it from the right side. On his
right he saw what looked like a man and the front resembled the shape of a lion's head. On
his left the section behind the man had the shape of an ox head and behind that was the
shape of an eagle's head. Ezekiel first said there was one wheel on each cherub. Then he
saw two wheels after they stopped, the second was in the middle of the first wheel. The
wheels were always behind the cherub as it went straight forward in flight. He thought was a
spirit inside the cherubims that made the wings and wheels operate.

He was so scared he fell on his face. The Lord said, "Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I
will speak unto thee." Ezekiel described being taken being taken for a flight. He said, "Then
the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing -- heard also the
noise of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the noise of the
wheels over against them."
Ezekiel accurately described his emotions during this flight to Telabib, "So the spirit lifted me
up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness [shivering], in the heat [excitement] of my
spirit; but the hand of the LORD was strong upon me."

Ezekiel said God got out of the Cherub in chapter 9, and again describes the working
cherubim he saw in chapter 10. Ezekiel states that over the head of the cherub was a
sapphire colored firmament and a throne. Each cherubim had four distinct appearances
(faces): the first was the head of the cherub, the man, then a lion and the last was an eagle.

The sound of the cherubims' wings was like the mighty voice of God and each wing had
something similar to a man's hand under it. Ezekiel was amazed by the wheels of each
cherub because they appeared to be like a wheel in the middle of a wheel. The wings lifted
the cherubims up from the earth as Ezekiel watched.

In chapter 40, Ezekiel was taken to the what looks like the walls of a city on a high mountain.
There he was met by a man the color of brass. Apparently, within the walls was the home of
the Gods and the priest who served him, which were measured for Ezekiel's benefit. Then he
was instructed in the ways of the Lord.

The instructions may also have been given to other teachers of the same time period: K'ung
(Confucius); Fu-tzu Lao-tse who created Daoism (Taoism);  Mo-tzu, founder of Mohism; Shu
Ching who incorporates ideas of harmony and heaven; Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha);  
Zoroaster (Zarathustra) who founded Zoroastrianism.

Modern version of the cherub

It would appear ancient humans did appear to be Gods that really did exist. With minor
exceptions, Ezekiel described a modern helicopter that was not built until 1968. A French
aviation company built the modern version of the cherub with Ezekiel's wheel within a wheel in
the Fenstron Tail Assembly. The tail boom does look similar to an eagles head. Not only that
but the rotor blades are called wings.

There is no us or them! We are One World,  One Spiritual Community with bad leadership.
