Moses' Image of God in Ancient Aramaic

From Victor Alexander's "Misconceptions regarding the Book of Genesis," which I printed out years ago:

The Hebrew word for God is Al-lo-heim (Elohim). The word comes from pictographic writing of ancient Assyria. The pictograph depicts the sun disc. Rising in the center of the sun disc is the Son, the power of God and the wisdom of God. Radiating, emanating from the sun disc are ordered waves of flames pictured as the wings and tail of a bird in flight.



It represents and means "Over the Flames." This is the first depiction of God in the earliest form of writing -- way before Moses and the Law. The name of God here, in Ashurit, is Ashur.


Ashur and Elohim both mean "Over the Flames." "Elohim" is singular, because while "Flames" is plural, it is really God, Eil, who is "Over the Flames." God is one, but he is also e'had -- made up of many.

Eil and the Flames are one, Sparky. When in Psalms 82: 6 (as elsewhere) God says, "I have said, 'Ye are God (Elohim),'" he doesn't mean gods. He means that you and I are -- actually are -- God. He is saying, "Wake up and get with the program!"

We are, in the final analysis, one big No-thing. I greatly regret that Victor Alexander took down his page, "Misconceptions regarding the Book of Genesis."
