Stop Misreading the Bible: the Seven SPIRITUAL Antediluvian Patriarchs

I received an interesting e-mail from a Greek named Be Nice, who referred me to a YouTube video of Bill Donahue, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i4HLXezX_T0 . Well, actually Be Nice suggested another Donahue video seeking my opinion, but I like this one better. Mr. Donahue is one who knows the Bible is not secular history and analyzes it psychologically. I find his construction rather higgledy-piggledy: 'Elohim' means male and female? Do the Jews know anything about this? What is he teaching? Like Bob Dylan's Mr. Jones in "Ballad of a Thin Man," Donahue knows something is happening, but does not know what it is.

Mr. Donahue does mention something about the 7 chakras about 10 minutes in, and I thought that should refer, logically, to the Antediluvian Patriarchs. But there were 10 patriarchs. Hmmm. What does Victor Alexander's translation say? Oh. It is ten as we count them, but we count them wrong. According to the traditional English translation, in the days of Enosh "men began to call upon the name of YHWH." Ethelbert Bullinger pointed out that in those days men began to call OTHER things by the name of YHWH. Alexander alone says that Adam knew Eve and had Seth, and Seth had Enosh, and then after them men (the guys coming next) were called after the name (nature) of YHWH. That is, they were not men at all, not even in the story, but features of the nature of YHWH. Facets of spirit according to Moses. And yes, there are 7 of them, and the line ends with the "rest" of Noah, the crown chakra, if that indeed was what Moses was referring to. I wish Alexander had seen fit to translate the "patriarchs'" names:

Kenan
Mahalalail
Irad
Enoch
Methuselah
Lamech
Noah

I discussed these patriarchs on November 7, 12, and 14 as psychological and attitudinal steps toward having the right mind in which to pray (http://imagicworldview.blogspot.com/2016/11/the-antediluvian-patriarchs-as.html). Anyone want to venture translations?

  • I have also asked Mr.Donahue if he is familiar with Neville and his teachings, but I don't get any respond yet.

    The Bible is the only book that has too many explanations :)

  • I would just about guarantee that Donahue knows about Neville's teaching. He speaks of Kabbalah and the psychological, symbolic interpretation of scriptures. But I grant him this: he is not talking in the videos I have seen of causative imagining. He seems to be adamantly against techniques and desire to get things in meditation. Something of a purist toward freedom from thought in meditation. Ironic in that this is his commercial enterprise.

  • As for the Bible having too many interpretations, God is reflected in every way on every level. It is Its manifestation. Look at the Bible codes: every one and every thing is encoded in the Torah. With the letters of the Hebrew alphabet everything that shall be has been named. Surprised that the Bible can be interpreted in so many ways? It has called all these things into existence.
