In this episode, "The Queen is Dead," is a reference to Asherah, the Queen mother / goddess of Israel/ Heaven. We complete the saga of the war of kings on Sodom and the dramatic escape of Abraham's nephew Lot. Did Abraham have other covenants with other kings that might have jeopardized the relationship with his Lord? Who was this Mechelzadek in Gen 14?
Ultimately in this episode, is Abraham's son Ishmael, born of the slave woman to Sarah and how he poses a threat to Isaac and the throne. How shall he be dealt with?

In the part of the story, Abraham's Lord negotiates the treaty with Abraham that will give him protection while monitoring the dangerous trade routes (The King's Highway) from bandits. This way the k8ng can safely send caravans from Babylonia to Egypt without interruption. Also, to seal the deal, Sarah must carry the King's seed so that his royal bloodline will be with Abraham's descendants for generations to come.

This episode is an interview with Bernard Lamborelle, the author of An Everlasting Quid Pro Quo, and the author of the topic for this season of the podcast.

In this episode, we explore the Sodom and Gomorrah story in the Bible but from a literal and secular standpoint. In this telling of the story, it's not Bible God who crashes down on the Sodomites, it's Abram's Lord who launches a full military attack in the small cities. Not because they were evil and just wanted to have gay sex, but because after 8 years, they refused to pay tribute to this Mesopotamian overlord and they rose up against the government.

In this episode, we pick up with Abraham, Sarah, and this anthropomorphic figure who would be Abraham's Lord. This is a literal interpretation of Genesis chapters 12 through 25, where we try to piece together the original redactor's intentions of the texts. It appears that in 90% of the story, this Lord is characterized as quite human and doing human like things that are very similar to other Mesopotamian kings during that period. The remaining 10% seemingly is more of an immaterial character in the story. Perhaps a local deity other than the Lord himself?
Based on the book, "An everlasting quid pro quo" by Bernard Lamborelle -
In this episode we explore who and what the Beelzebub figure is in the Bible and how it was some of the earliest political mud slinging in history. We also talk much about tradrouts and how Abraham partnered with nomadic tribes to secure the land of milk and honey (Israel).
-
In this new episode, we will delve deep into scripture as well as extrabiblical evidence to understand the origins of the name that should never be spoken, not even by Jewish Rabbis. Where did the srangr Tetragrammaton YHWH originate from, and is it a truncated form of a much longer name or perhaps names.
These are the topics that I will discuss in today's show. Enjoy!

This is the fourth installment on this series, "The Ancient Gods of Israel." Please be sure to listen to the first 3 episodes if you haven't already as it builds the case for our study. But in this episode, we study all the baals of Canaan, Phoenicia, Israel, and beyond. What, or perhaps, who were these baals and their divine manifestations? And why did the Biblical sources comdemn them after 1000 years of coexistence? This is what we will discuss in this show.
Also, please hang on until the very end after the credits. I will recite a poem by listener Jacob Perry entitled, "The Splitting of The Chrysalis,"

The only difference between the name of the goddess, Asherah אשרה and Abraham's wife, Sarah שרה is the letter aleph א that assumes a leading position in the name of the goddess. In this episode, we will begin to take a closer look at the goddess Asherah before she was condemned to an idol.
This series is based upon the following books:
Mark Smith's "The early history of God and other Canaanite deities'
Bernard Lamborelle's "The Covenant", "To be done with Sodom" and the soon to be released, "An everlasting Quid Pro Quo" -
This is part 2 of The Ancient Gods of Israel mini series, where we analyze ancient texts to discover what the early people of Canaan and the nomadic people who occupied the hilly country adjacent to the neighboring Canaanites. What did they worship, who did they worship and why?
In this episode we take a close look at the Ba'al and El deities within the Bible narrative itself, steles, and ancient inscriptions in Pagan cities that were occupied by the early Israelites who were worshipping an El Berith (God of the covenant) as well as a Baal Berith (Lord of the covenant in human form). What does this tell you as the language is the same for Yahweh in Israelite texts?

Welcome to a brand new season and episode! This episode will be dedicated to surveying the ancient gods of Israel and its neighbors to how the God that we think of today as the creator of the entire universe came to be.

In this chapter of MacDonald's book, "The Homeric Epics and the Gospel of Mark," we examine the murderous rivals that both Jesus and Odysseus must face upon returning home. The strange and bizarre similarities between the Jewish authorities and the Suitors will lead us through an entire field of Marken narratives to the point that you can not avoid seeing the Gospels as Imitations of Homer.

In this episode, we discuss the six criteria used by MacDonald to identify memesis in ancient literature, the art of memesis that either transvalues or emulates Homeric models in the gosples and other Christian literature.
-
Did Jewish, Latin and Greek writers of the first century use characters, plots and landscapes from Homeric Epics to transvalue the antiquated ethics and theology of Homer? It appears that they most certainly did, according to Dennis MacDonald. This episode talks about how to find myth markers in pros, why they used it and how the ancient wold learned it.
