…Slithering Out of the Garden into the Quran

I Don’t Noah ‘Bout This
He prayed that the Africans’ color would change so that their descendants would be slaves to the Arabs and Turks.
Tabari II:11
Africans would be enslaved by Arabs.
Aware of Muhammad’s and Allah’s hellish agendas, let’s march ahead and consider the many ways the non-prophet and un-god found to twist the stories of the characters presented in Genesis. With a religion to promote, they weren’t about to let truth stand in their way.
Tabari I:335 “Seth stayed in Mecca performing the hajj pilgrimage and the lesser umrah until he died. He added the scrolls revealed by Allah to those of his father, Adam, and acted in accordance with their contents. He built the Ka’aba with stones and clay.” If the Ka’aba gets one more builder it’s going to become the Tower of Babel. In the interim, we have the scrolls of babel..
Tabari I:335 “The people of the Torah said, ‘Enoch was born to Jared. Allah granted him the gift of prophecy. He revealed thirty scrolls to him. He was the first after Adam to write and to exert himself in Allah’s Cause. He was the first to cut and sew clothes. He was the first to lead some of Cain’s descendants into captivity and to enslave them.’” I thought “Eve” was a stay-at-home mom. But I suppose fighting made Enoch the first good Muslim, a devout religious lad following in Muhammad’s footsteps.
While there are allegedly one hundred books, not a word is mentioned from any of them in the Quran. And why speak of these, if the first mentioned were thousands of years later with Abraham and Moses if Adam and Seth 540had libraries? Quran 087.018-19 “Lo! Verily, this is surely in the earlier Books, the Books of Ibrahim and Musa.” As a general rule, anytime we see “lo, verily, surely, certainly, or indeed” in the Quran, what follows is untrue.
The next Hadith confirms the source of Muhammad’s Quranic material. Tabari I:346 “Someone among the people of the Torah said, ‘Methuselah was born to Enoch. He was the first to ride horses, because he followed his father’s prescribed practice with respect to the jihad.’” How could Adam have established a cavalry, as an earlier Hadith claimed (Tabari I:318), if he didn’t ride? Or why, if he didn’t fight?
Tabari I:346 “The people of the Torah say that Lamech was born to Methuselah and that Lamech begat Noah.” If Allah were God or if Muhammad was a Prophet, they would not have to rely on the “people of the Torah” for answers. Undeterred, Muhammad claimed that Noah’s people were just like the Quraysh of his day…
“Noah would admonish his people, but they mocked him. Allah revealed that he had given Noah’s people a postponement from punishment so that they might apologize. Noah’s people worshiped idols. So Allah sent His punishment down upon them and annihilated them.” Everything Muhammad claimed happened to Noah actually happened to him.
Beginning in the next volume, God Damn Religion will focus entirely on Muhammad’s life. But between now and then you should know that the Quran says it was Muhammad who “admonished his people, but they mocked him.” So “Allah revealed that He had given” the Meccans “a postponement from punishment so that they might apologize” to his non-prophet.
Thirty times in the Quran, and countless more in the Hadith, Muhammad replays this twisted variant of Noah. Each is designed to scare the Meccans into submission. By remaking Noah in his image, and recasting his neighbors and kin in the role of Noah’s people, Muhammad was able 541to make his impotent and vicious un-god appear fearsome. Muhammad knew Allah was incapable of miracles, so, by ascribing a prior miracle to him, his Snake grew fangs.
This next Hadith forces us to choose: Either Noah was an Islamic prophet or Islam is a lie. Tabari I:353 “According to a report on the authority of early Muslim scholars, there were ten generations between Adam and Noah, all of them were followers of Islam. Unbelief originated only in the generation to whom Noah was sent. Noah was the first prophet to be sent by Allah as a Messenger to a people to warn them and call them to the recognition of the oneness of Allah. Some say that Noah’s people committed wickedness, drinking wine, and letting their preoccupation with musical instruments divert them from submission to Allah.”
If you are agonizing over whether Muhammad has told the truth, think about this: he said, “drinking wine” was “wicked,” and yet the rivers of Allah’s Paradise “flow with wine.” Muhammad condemned those who “listened to music,” and yet “the angels sing.”
Tabari I:353 “The Quran reports that they had idols, for Allah says speaking about Noah, ‘My Lord they have been disobedient to me and have followed one whose property and children only add to his loss.’” The Noach of the Towrah never said such a thing. He wasn’t interested in someone submitting to him, and he had property and sons.
When we reconcile why Muhammad put these awkward words into Noah’s mouth we discover that it was actually Islam’s non-prophet who demanded obedience and was denied. It was Muhammad who had neither sons nor property. What’s more, the official heirs to the Ka’aba, the property he coveted, had sons.
“They have devised a major plot and said, ‘Don’t give up your gods. Don’t give up Wadd, Suwa, and Nasr. They have led many astray.’” (Quran 071.021) While Noah never plotted, Muhammad schemed against his own family for control of a similar list of gods. Projecting one’s faults upon an opponent is an effective and timeless political strategy. It’s 542one Muhammad used to perfection. It is one of the Quran’s least appealing and most repetitive themes.
Fearing god’s terror is unique to Islam. Tabari I:354 “Allah sent Noah to them to make them afraid of His awesome power and to warn them of His assault. Noah called upon them to act in accord with the demands given by Allah to His messengers and revealed by Him in the scrolls of Adam, Seth, and Enoch.”
Like most Islamic Traditions, this one was written to explain the Quran, to provide a sense of purpose and place to a book that lacks context, history, and chronology. As we dive into the surah for which this was written, notice the similarity between Muhammad’s voice and Nuh’s.
Quran 071.001-3 “Lo! Surely, We sent Nuh to his people that warn your people from before that comes to them a painful punishment. He said, ‘O my people! Lo! Surely, I am a warner to you clear.’ That worship al-Laha and fear Him and obey me.”
Why Muhammad had Noah say such things will become increasingly obvious. But before we leave these opening verses, I’d like to point out one of the many differences between the Quran and the Torah. Yahowah’s prophets encouraged us to listen to Yahowah, not themselves. Islam’s non-prophet ordered Muslims to fear Allah and obey Muhammad.
By way of correction, Noach didn’t have people. The fact that he and his family had disassociated from the local community is why Yahowah was able to work with them. Noach was neither messenger nor warner. There was no mention of punishment nor a god named al-Laha.
The following verse from Nuh | Noah replicates Muhammad’s experience in Petra while making a mockery of the actual narrative...
Quran 071.004-12 “He will forgive for you of your sins and give you a reprieve for a term specified. Lo, indeed, term of al-Lahi when it comes not is delayed if you know.
543He said, ‘Rabbi, lo, verily, I invited my people night and day. But not increased them my invitation except flight. Lo! Verily, I every time I invited them that You may forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears and covered themselves.
Then, lo, indeed I invited them publicly. Then, lo, verily, I announced to them and I confided to them secretly. Then I said, ‘Ask forgiveness (form) your Lord. Indeed He is Oft-Forgiving. He will send down the sky upon you in abundance. And provide you with wealth and children and make for you gardens and make for you rivers.’”
In the Towrah, Yahowah was trying to rid the region of the hamas | cruel religious terrorists, so He had no interest in forgiving anyone at this place and time. Through the flood, the reprieve would be for everyone else, except those who were acting like Muslims.
Throughout the Quran, unbelievers are told to respond to their Lord. But that’s not possible because if Allah were their Lord, they would not be disbelievers.
Since the Quran’s purpose is to beguile the dimwitted into accepting Satan as God, revisionist Nuh is shown messaging his people day and night, secretly and publicly warning them to ask forgiveness so that the Rabbi can send down an abundance of rain. And if that wasn’t sufficient to bribe those with ear-finger, in addition to money and children, the people living adjacent to the Garden and at the headwaters of mighty rivers were offered more of both. Since Satan isn’t this dumb, this clunker of a fable was concocted to demonstrate just how thoughtless Muslims would become. It wasn’t enough to enslave them, Allah wanted to humiliate them, too.
Quran 071.008 “Then I called to them aloud. I spoke to them in public and I spoke to them in secret. I said, ‘Ask forgiveness of your Lord. He will send down upon you the cloud, pouring down abundance of rain, and help you with wealth and sons, and make for you gardens, and make for you rivers.’”
544Holy cloudburst. The last thing the hamas of Noach’s day needed was rain. But since this story was being recast for the denizens of the desert surrounding Petra, the reward must have seemed divine. Therefore, to make Muhammad appear as heroic as the fabled warner, the victims of the flood were to be rewarded with a deluge.
Quran 071.013-17 “What is the matter with you that you do not attribute grandeur to Lillahi?
And He created you in grades. Do you not see how al-Lahu did create seven heavens in layers, one above another, and therein made the moon a light, and made the sun a lamp? And al-Lahu caused you grow out of the earth as a growth.”
The harder Muhammad and Allah tried to prove Lillahi was actually God, the less Godly al-Lahu actually appeared. While Hitler would concur, the quest for racial superiority is ill-conceived. There is one universe and a single heaven comprising two things, not seven, and the latter cannot be seen. The sun and moon are not as depicted.
Satan is insistent that every human capitulates. So…
Quran 071.018-20 “Then He will return you into it and bring you forth, bringing forth. And al-Lahu made for you the earth a flat expanse that you may go along therein wide paths.”
The narrative continues to mimic Muhammad’s diatribes in the Hadith. So, who was speaking for whom?
Quran 071.021 “Nuh said, ‘Rabbi | my Lord, lo, verily, they have disobeyed me and followed him whose wealth and children have added nothing but loss. They have planned a great plot. And they said, “Not leave your gods. And not leave Wadd, and not Suwa, and not Yaguth and Yauq or Nasr.”’”
We have traversed time and brought Nuh into Muhammad’s world. Only the names have been changed to protect the guilty. The pagan gods’ names were Manat, al-Lat, al-Uzza, and Rahman while their Arabian rivals were Wadd, Suwa, Yaguth, Yauq, and Nasr.
545Since there was, of course, no mention of these selected gods and goddesses 5,000 years ago, I was delighted to find that in a South Arabian synagogue predating Islam and dedicated to Rahman, Yauq’s name was written in a Sabaean script. And while that is sufficient to bury the Quran twice over, it only gets worse from there.
Maulana Muhammad Ali, a formidable Islamic apologist, adds the following commentary on this list of pagan deities in his The Holy Qur’an, with English Translation and Commentary (2002 edition, footnote on Quran 71:23, page 1138): “The names of the idols given here are those which existed in Arabia in the Prophet’s time, and hence some critics call it an anachronism [while I would call it dishonest]. According to IʿAb, the idols of Noah’s people were worshipped by the Arabs, Wadd being worshipped by Kalb, Suwa by Hudhail, Yaghuth by Murad, Yaʿuq by Hamadan and Nasr by Ḥimyar (B. 65:lxxi, 1). The commentators say that Wadd was worshipped in the form of a man, Suwa in that of a woman, Yaghuth in that of a lion, Yaʿuq in that of a horse and Nasr is that of an eagle.”
As a result, my condemnation of the Quran’s propensity to misappropriate and revise stories from the Towrah to make Muhammad’s pathetic narrative appear Godly is confirmed. The un-god and non-prophet will say and do anything, no matter how dishonest or duplicitous, in pursuit of their hellish agendas. The greatest service that can be done to the world at large, and especially Yahowah and Yahuwdym, is to excoriate and banish this crude and cruel cult.
However, I stand with God and otherwise alone. When searching to validate Maulana Muhammad Ali’s research, I found this endorsement: Marmaduke Pickthall, the British Muslim translator of the Quran, wrote a review of Muhammad Ali’s book, The Religion of Islam, when it was published in 1936. This review was presented in the 546Journal of Islamic Culture of Hyderabad Deccan (India). Pickthall, who was also the editor of the journal, wrote:
“Probably no man living has done longer or more valuable service for the cause of Islamic revival than Maulana Muhammad Ali of Lahore. His literary works…have given fame and distinction to the Ahmadiyya Movement [from Muhammad’s alternate name, Ahmad, as a revival of Quranic Islam with its final triumph through the victorious arrival of the Muslim Mahdi / Messiah]. In our opinion the present volume is his finest work. It is a description of Al-Islam by one well-versed in the Sunna who has on his mind the shame of the Muslim decadence of the past five centuries and in his heart the hope of the revival, of which signs can now be seen on every side.
Such a book is greatly needed at the present day when, in many Muslim countries, we see people eager for the reformation and revival of Islam making mistakes through lack of this knowledge. We do not always agree with Muhammad Ali’s conclusions upon minor points, but his premises are always sound, we are always conscious of his deep sincerity; and his reverence for the holy Quran is sufficient in itself to guarantee his work in all essentials. There are some, no doubt, who will disagree with his general findings, but they will not be those from whom Al-Islam has anything to hope in the future.”
I am among those who disagree because I am opposed to lying wannabe gods, false prophets, and terror, and I favor Jews, the primary victims of Islam.
Having been reminded that the al-Lahi is lying…
Quran 071.024-25 “And lo, they have led many astray. And not increase the wrongdoers except error. Because of their wrongs they were drowned, then made to enter (the) Fire. And not they found for themselves from besides al-Lahi any helpers.’”
547This contrived narration was designed to frighten Arabs into believing that Allah would drown and roast them, too, if they didn’t confess that he, alone, was God.
Quran 071.026-28 “And Nuh said, ‘Rabbi | My Lord, do not leave any of the unbelievers to inhabit (the earth). Lo! Verily, You, if You leave them, they will lead astray Your slaves. And not will they beget but an evil disbeliever.’”
While nothing could be further from the truth, by saying this, the Quran has given us a window into the soul of its non-prophet and un-god. It was Muhammad who wanted his clan slaughtered, not Noach. His own Beni Quraysh and Beni Hashim tribes mocked Muhammad, so he threatened to annihilate them. And while you will read these words later, directly from Muhammad’s lips, for now, he’s too big a weasel to stand up and accept responsibility. And, it is Allah who damns disbelievers.
Since these lies didn’t spontaneously appear, there was a motive. And with motive, the lie was more than immoral; it became criminal. A fraud is a knowing departure from truth to deliberately mislead for unwarranted material gain.
A little outcome-based math will help lighten the mood. Tabari I:358 “Allah sent Noah to his people when he was 350 years old. He stayed among them 950 years. Allah sent Noah to them when he was 480 [not 350] years old. Allah commanded Noah to build the ark. He boarded it at the age of 600 [not at 1,300].” Can you imagine attending an Islamic math class? “What’s the answer?” “Allah knows best.”
Noach ben Lamech was born in year 1000 Yah, which was 2968 BCE. It would not be until year 1600 Yah, in 2368 BCE, that the asteroid impact that formed the Burckle Crater triggered an upwelling of seawater, commencing the flood. While Noach would have been 600, Yahowah limited human longevity, coinciding with the deluge, to a maximum of 120 years.
548Allah was a Snake at the time. And ‘Abraham, the first of God’s people, would not be born until 2078 BCE. While Noach would live until 2018 BCE, he was never sent to Ur in Sumer, which is where ‘Abram was born and lived until 2003 BCE. One would die near the headwaters of the Euphrates while the other was residing at its mouth.
“All those people drowned.” Maybe the Islamic Noah’s preaching wasn’t any better than Muhammad’s.
Tabari I:358 “Noah’s people used to grab him and choke him until he became unconscious. When Allah wanted to ruin them, Noah cursed them, saying, ‘Lord, they have disobeyed me and have followed one whose property and children only add to his loss…Lord, let no unbeliever stay on the earth!’”
The Hadith claim the worst abuse Muhammad endured in Mecca was being grabbed and choked. And as a result of being disobeyed, Muhammad cursed his people. Every word of this was designed to recast Noach as the spitting image of Muhammad.
Early Muslims had a problem keeping their stories straight and their facts believable. “The length of Noah’s ark was 1,200 cubits, and its width was 600 cubits.” A nearly four-thousand-foot boat – improbabilities like this in supposedly inspired scripture are troubling…or telling.
It’s time to interject some sanity into this discussion. Noach’s purpose was to preserve one family from the growing hamas menace, which had become particularly nasty. We pick up the story in the 6th chapter of Bare’syth / Genesis with Yahowah setting the scene…
“It came to pass (wa hayah – it happened,) that, indeed by contrast (ky), humankind (ha ‘adam – that mankind) became common and contemptible (halal – was no longer special, becoming defiled, desecrated, and profane, dishonorable and lacking integrity, prone to inflicting injury and wounding by stabbing (also transliterated chalal)) while increasing in numbers and 549influence (la rabab – becoming prolific and dominant, the basis of rabbi in Judaism and Islam) upon (‘al) the face (paneh) of the earth (‘adamah – land, ground, and soil). And (wa), daughters (bath) were born (yalad) to them (la hem).” (Bare’syth / In the Beginning / Genesis 6:1)
Yah will make a distinction between two types of humans – those with and without a neshamah | conscience. Some were simply animals. Many still are.
In this declarative statement, the “sons of the Almighty” are the descendants of ‘Adam and Chawah, whom Yahowah conceived in His image, hoping to raise and enjoy as His children. The fact that God depicted them as the female offspring of “ha ‘adam – the man, ‘Adam,” singular and definite, makes this obvious.
“And (wa) the sons (benym – the male descendants and masculine offspring conceived and parented) of the Almighty (ha ‘elohym) saw (ra’ah – they perceived and viewed) that by comparison (ky – making a distinction by contrast), the daughters (‘eth bath – the female offspring) of ‘Adam (ha ‘adam – of the man created in God’s image (singular and absolute)) were beneficial and valuable (towb henah – they were perceived to be useful and thus desirable, beheld as good because they were productive).
So now (wa), they grasped hold of and took (laqach – they collected, selecting and seizing) for themselves (la hem) women (‘ishah – females) from any (min kol – out of as many) which (‘asher) they desired (bachar – they preferred and selected and they examined, tested, and probed).” (Bare’syth / In the Beginning / Genesis 6:2)
Yahowah created ‘Adam in His image by blowing His neshamah | conscience into him. Therefore, we should view ‘Adam as a “son of God.” The daughters of ha ‘adam | this man would represent the other Homo sapiens who were roaming around east of ‘Eden as ‘Adam’s and Chawah’s descendants. Therefore, these neshamah-550equipped humans naturally wanted women who shared the overwhelming advantage that a conscience gave them over lesser-equipped people who were mostly animals.
Yahowah made Chawah “towb – beautiful and desirable” in addition to “beneficial and valuable.” In the Garden, she was designed to be “pleasurable and enjoyable, in addition to helpful.” These attributes were transferred to her offspring, making them “considerably better, more useful and productive” than lesser endowed females outside of the Garden. In a world of men piercing and wounding other men and animals to survive, such women would have been preferred and chosen, selected and seized.
If we were to devise a litmus test for human society, we would discover that in the most acidic of them, men have their way with women, treating them as inferior, even as property. As a salient example, it is the primary reason Muhammad was able to attract men into his ranks and turn them into savages. Without misogyny, Islam would not have prevailed. But Muslims are not alone. Man grabbing, examining, testing, and probing women without consideration of their desires has been prevalent throughout human society – as has the propensity to rape and plunder, enslave and murder. And it is these characteristics that exemplify Islam.
Profaning His creation with religion, depriving women of freewill, and polluting the earth while wounding the living was not the course Yah had plotted for humankind.
“Therefore (wa), Yahowah (YaHoWaH – an accurate presentation of the name of ‘elowah | God as guided by His towrah | instructions regarding His hayah | existence) said (‘amar), ‘My Spirit (ruwach ‘any – My influence and source of empowerment, this projection of My nature (a feminine noun depicting the power, influence, and life-giving aspects of God)) will not remain to contend and 551plead with (lo’ duwn ba – will not abide alongside, dwell or live with, direct or vindicate), mankind (ha ‘adam – man) for an unlimited duration of time (la ‘owlam).
As a result of (ba wa gam) what he has preached and proclaimed as an animal (huw’ basar – his diatribe on life, and as a result of him as flesh with a physical body, publishing a message), his time (yowmym huw’ – his days) will exist as (wa hayah) 120 years (me’ah wa ‘esrym shanah).’” (Bare’syth / In the Beginning / Genesis 6:3)
Yahowah’s Ruwach | Spirit is feminine. She represents the Maternal aspects of God’s nature. Without Her influence in our lives, without access to Her ability to enlighten and perfect, we lose the capacity to properly deploy our conscience and differentiate between right and wrong. As the Choter | Secondary Branch of God, She is the power behind these words.
From the last of the prophets, Mal’aky | Malachi in 450 BCE until Taruw’ah | Trumpets in 2001, there is every indication that Yahowah’s Ruwach | Spirit was withdrawn. And while She has returned to fulfill Her purpose and promise in Yasha’yah / Isaiah 11, She will soon stop pleading with the descendants of ‘Adam. Those who do not embrace Yah over the next decade never will.
It is also germane to note that the water vapor shield that Yah spoke about in Bare’syth / Genesis 2:6 attributed to this time and place, would have precluded the sun’s most damaging rays from eroding the elasticity of living cells. This would have enabled humans to forego the effects of aging with telomers renewing and replacing cells at a faster rate for a longer period. This, combined with a less disease-ridden and degraded genome, would have enabled the perfectly designed humans who emerged from the Garden to live much longer. But that was all about to end. True to His word, from this time forward, 120 years has become the maximum extent of human life.
552That number is important prophetically – especially in this context, that of God enduring mankind’s propensity to be evil for a set period. Upon His return on the 120th Yowbel, year 6000 Yah, on Yowm Kipurym in 2033, the religious and political, the conspiratorial and anti-Semitic, will be eliminated. The era of man will end as foretold on the 10th day of the 7th month in the 120th Yowbel – which represents the occasion in which captives are freed, debts are forgiven, and the Land is returned.
Also interesting, Yahowah will go on to say that the generation that experiences the Holocaust (Mizmowr / Psalm 102) will be the last generation. Therefore, the maximum number of years which can be added to the events affecting the Diaspora in Europe, beginning on May 24th, 1913, when Adolf Hitler moved from Vienna, Austria to Munich, Germany, 1914 with the instigation of the First World War, and then accelerated in 1920, when Hitler became the chief propagandist of the German Worker’s Party, changing the name to the National Socialist German Worker’s Party, Nazi, through 1948, is precisely 12 decades. Reason tells us that we are looking at the millennial marker of 2033, which is exactly 40 Yowbel from Dowd’s fulfillment of Pesach in 33 CE to his return on Kipurym – October 2nd at sunset in Yaruwshalaim | Jerusalem in year 6000 Yah.
There is a theme here, one I doubt many, if any, have considered. As one man, ‘Adam was charming. As a woman, Chawah was also wonderful. Together, they had the capacity to be good or bad, and we know what they chose. And in doing so, neither took responsibility and blamed someone else. When the two became four with the addition of Hebel | Abel and Qayn | Cain, it was not long before mankind began to covet, became enraged, learned to lie, and became murderous. All the while, outside of the Garden where men were many, man was basically bad.
553As one became numerous and families became societies, cultures, and civilizations, humankind became increasingly evil. As an example, if I were to ask you to name a single civilization from Sumer, Babylon, and Assyria; the Hittites, Canaanites, and Egyptians; the Greeks, Spartans, Persians, Romans, and Carthaginians, even the Aztecs, Incas, and Mayans to the Americans, Germans, Russians, and Chinese, which treated its citizens fairly and its neighbors appropriately, in all of human history, could you name one?
The question, ‘Is man basically good or bad,’ is answered by another: ‘How many of them are there?’ Gang mentality, where an individual’s sense of right and wrong becomes collectivized, is central to the appeal of religious and political institutions. We see this effect screaming at us from around the world as Muslims unite and callously celebrate their inhumanity toward Jews.
The first group of people Yahowah identified outside of the Garden were collectively oppressive and murderous. They were also overtly religious, political, and militant. They were a harbinger of Islam.
As we proceed, an errant rendering of naphylym in the next statement is commonly translated to infer that “giants” were living on the earth. I can only assume that the Latin scholars who did so initially missed the religious and political connotations and assumed that physical prowess would be the only reason to mention such people.
“The Naphylym (ha naphylym – plural of naphal – those who prostrate themselves and will be cast down, those who have fallen away and will die, those who attack and oppress, representing a miscarriage of life) existed (hayah – were for a limited time) in the land (ba ha ‘erets – within the region, territory, or area) in those days (ba ha yowmym ha hem), and also (wa gam) afterward (‘achar –at a later time).” (Bare’syth / Genesis 6:4)
554From the beginning, the religious have forced humankind to bow down, prostrating themselves, while the few lorded over the many. As a consequence of having ignored Yahowah’s instructions, beginning in the Garden, out of apathy, ignorance, and/or convenience, the naphal became religious. People were conditioned to prostrate and oppress, subjugate and kill.
Today (read ‘achar | at a later time), the people best known for their repetitive prostrates are Muslims. That is significant because Naphysh was also the second-to-last son of Ishmael, Islam’s patriarch, and they became an “Arabian tribe.” That is to say, religions like Islam, the Arabic word for “submission,” are not new.
Satan has been corrupting men for a long time. His favorite strategy remains to present himself as the Lord. It is the essence of the terrorist chant of “Allahu Akbar!” Allah is the Greatest! – or so the fallen messenger wants fallen man to believe.
“As a result (ken) of this relationship (‘asher), the sons of God (beny ha ‘elohym) came upon and pursued (bow’ ‘el – arrived and included themselves in association with) the daughters of the man, ‘Adam (bath ha ‘adam – the female children of ‘Adam (singular and absolute)), and they bore children to them (wa yalad la hem).
These were those (hem ha ‘iysh – male individuals) magnifying themselves, the victorious warriors who were powerful and acclaimed politically and militarily (gibowr – those men considered influential and heroic from the upstanding to despots, the accomplished with ability to achieve, the rich and powerful) from the very beginning (min ‘asher min ‘owlam – and for a very long time), the most renowned individuals (‘ysh ha shem – people whose names and reputations are known).” (Bare’syth 6:4)
While bow’ is used on occasion to speak of sexual contact, it actually means “to come or go, to arrive and 555enter.” It speaks of “returning, pursuing, and being included relationally with others in a group.” There is nothing derogatory about bow’.
Yahowah has transitioned from referring to ha ‘adam | the one man created in His image, to ‘ysh | individual because He is now viewing people differently. Highlighting this change, in between these words we find gibowr, a term that can be interpreted positively or negatively depending upon the individual or circumstance.
For example, in Bare’syth / Genesis 10:8 we are told that the father of politicized religion and of human self-aggrandizement, Nimrod, was a gibowr. And in his case, it most definitely is not a compliment. Arrogant, self-aggrandizing men have used a caustic blend of religion and politics to start wars and set themselves up as tyrannical despots for millennia. It is the hallmark of human societal behavior – a fundamental precept of civilization. If we were to consolidate human history into a single word, it might be gibowr – the story of men magnifying themselves, going off to war, and behaving like arrogant tyrants.
That said, there are heroic aspects of gibowr, especially as they pertain to God’s favorite Son, Dowd | David. He fought valiantly to protect his nation, keeping Yisra’el united, free, and safe. He was a great leader, with devotion to duty and strength of character. He was exceptionally brilliant, articulate, capable, confident, and accomplished – an inspired prophet and protective shepherd, even our Savior. He is, in God’s view, the most interesting and influential man in the history of gibowr.
In the case of the Naphylym, they embodied the worst aspects of gibowr. They were the first despots and tyrants, men with unquenchable military and political ambitions. We know of them because of their ruthlessness. They were good at intimidating and killing other men.
556“Therefore (wa), Yahowah (Yahowah – a transliteration of , our ‘elowah | God as directed in His towrah | teaching regarding His hayah | existence) saw (ra’ah – viewed, perceived, and recognized) that indeed (ky), the evil intent, the wickedness and depravity, the propensity to be wrong and the misery this inflicted upon (ra’ah – the deprivation and distress, the misfortune and immorality, the anxiety and calamity being wreaked on) mankind (ha ‘adam – the descendants of ‘Adam) in the land (ba ha ‘erets – within the region) was excessive, great in magnitude and quantity (rab – prolific, extensive, and abundant). In addition (wa), every (kol) inclination (yetser – predisposition, perspective, propensity, and proclivity, part of framework from which the world is perceived and issues are framed, preoccupation with the imaginary and mythical) and thoughts (machashebeth – plans, plots, purposes, and schemes, the musings, desires, and reasoning, even the cunning devices) of his judgment and motivations (leb huw’ – his reasoning, decision-making, and ambitions) were exclusively (raq – only, distinctly, and single-mindedly, inappropriately) bad (ra’ – undesirable and without merit or value, evil, wicked, and immoral, repugnant, miserable, and troubling, harmful and hindering) every single and solitary day (kol ha yowm).” (Bare’syth / In the Beginning / Genesis 6:5)
It only takes a spark to get a fire raging, and soon, everyone around is consumed by the inferno. By this time, man had used his neshamah so poorly that creation had been for naught. Without a functional and properly programmed conscience, man had become an oppressive killing machine. The strong would lord over the weak with swords. And by modeling deities after themselves, as Muhammad would do, they were able to perpetrate and justify the worst in human behavior. We witnessed this inhumanity in full bloom on October 7th, 2023.
557One of the more interesting aspects of the Hebrew lexicon is the difference between ra’ah | to see and perceive and ra’ah | to be wicked and wrong. The observant version of ra’ah is scribed . In this case, the eyes of the observant individual are focused upon the Aleph and Hey, with the ram’s head being the first letter in / ‘ab / father and / ‘el / god. With the depicting an upright man, in the observant ra’ah, our perspective on life and the world is mankind with God as our Father.
The evil variation of ra’ah is written . It removes the influence of God as our Heavenly Father and replaces Yah with the face focusing on man’s perspective – represented the / ‘ayn / eye. When combined, those three letters – – present the human perspective. Whether it be the Eye of Horus atop an Egyptian pyramid or emblazoned on U.S. currency, it is the “evil eye.” And man’s way is inferior to God’s way.
There is a tendency to assume that evil is an individual issue rather than a societal one. And yet, that isn’t how ra’ah and, its root, ra’, are used here or elsewhere. The “ra’ah – wickedness and depravity, the propensity to be wrong and the misery inflicted upon” mankind was “rab – prolific, extensive, and widespread.” There are only three human institutions capable of such pervasive mayhem: religion, politics, and societal customs – and they are typically intertwined. This is universally so with Islam.
Man’s “kol yetser machashebeth leb huw raq ra’ – every inclination and thought was inappropriate. His predisposition was to be immoral, his perspective was jaundiced, and his propensity for conjuring up religious myths and proclivity to plot evil schemes was exclusively and single-mindedly without merit or value, even repugnant.” This occurred “kol ha yowm – every day without exception.” It is as if God were reading what we have witnessed in Muhammad’s and Allah’s diatribes.
558Humankind had rapidly digressed from the religious- and political-free zone of the Garden to both being ubiquitous. As such, the “Fall of Man” occurred outside of the Garden, not within it. And it was because man became political and religious, and infected with this malignancy, humankind was vicious, oppressive, and deadly.
In the following statement, context determines the intended meaning of nacham. It can depict “being consoled and encouraged after finding relief from sorrow and distress” or it can convey “to reconsider, changing one’s mind in a morose manner, suffering and experiencing regret.” Based upon what had developed, and predicated upon the subsequent use of ‘atsab in the text conveying “pain and distress,” the meaning is obvious.
“Then (wa), Yahowah ( – a transliteration of YaHoWaH as instructed in His towrah | teaching regarding His hayah | existence) truly (ky – genuinely, designating that this was an exception) grieved, regretting (nacham – He came to an accurate understanding regarding what had gone wrong and was genuinely sorry (nifal imperfect – God endured this sorrow for a prolonged period even though He had done nothing to deserve it)) that He had engaged with and acted on behalf of (‘asah ‘eth – performed in this way to make) ‘Adam (ha ‘adam – mankind) within this region (ba ha ‘erets).
And (wa) He was deeply hurt that He had been misinterpreted and that His intent had been deliberately twisted and distorted (‘atsab – He was displeased and disappointed He had been misconstrued, even grieved by the religious idolatry and perversions (hitpael imperfect – independently, He had come to rue the false representations regarding Him)) affecting His motivation and thinking (la leb huw’ – to His core, His heart and judgment).” (Bare’syth / Genesis 6:6)
559God considered what man had become, and He was disappointed. As the Snake had done in the Garden, and his non-prophet would do in the desert, the worst among us deliberately twisted and distorted Yahowah’s message, misrepresenting His nature and misconstruing His intent. And the only thing which has changed over the past six thousand years is that the problem has become pervasive.
The reason God was grieved was that mankind was falsifying and distorting His guidance and instructions, which is something that is done by the religious, even today. And based upon the previous statement, He was frustrated by man’s propensity to deceive, oppress, and kill – which is also the legacy of institutionalized religion and politics. These are societal problems, cultural issues, and the product of civilization.
The one thing that can cause God to regret our existence is the widespread misrepresentation of His guidance and nature. People are abused and lives are squandered as a result – and never more so than with Muhammad and his Quran.
This statement is important because it demonstrates Allah was wrong. We are not subject to predestination. The future is not predetermined. We choose our fate, and that means we can choose poorly.
The realization that God experiences grief tells us that loving relationships are near and dear. Life is not a game. But more than anything, this passage reveals that Yahowah cares deeply and personally about the souls who seek Him. And that is why He hates being misrepresented by Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
In Bare’syth / Genesis 6:7, mahah’s primary meaning, which is “to wipe away,” is relevant. It addresses eliminating the presence of something by washing away an impurity. Based upon what has been said and will transpire, the cleansing connotations of mahah are an adroit fit for 560this context. Furthermore, min can mean “from,” “out of,” or “because of,” and ‘ad can be translated as “forever,” “until,” “prey upon,” or “to a continuous extent.” However, most English translations render ‘ad as “to” and then suggest that “the Lord” wants “to blot out…animals, creeping things, and birds” in addition to “man.” Since that does not make sense, and is inconsistent with what follows, I’ve chosen “because” to represent min and “has come to prey upon and has continuously become consistent with” the list of creatures which follow as the most rational and complete rendering of ‘ad in this context.
Given the choice between rational and irrational, between consistent and inconsistent, I prefer translations that make the most sense within the context they were revealed, being true to the terms God chose while at the same time delivering a result that is in harmony with His nature. And since I provide readers with the Hebrew terms upon which these translations are comprised, you can readily affirm or challenge what I am reporting.
“So (wa), Yahowah (Yahowah) said (‘amar), ‘I will wash away, removing the impurities (mahah – I will extend the boundaries and then cleanse by wiping away the filth) with regard to the man (‘eth ha ‘adam – within the people) whom for the benefits of the relationship (‘asher) I have created (bara’ – I have conceived and fashioned, bringing into existence) from (min) upon (‘al – over) the face (paneh – presence) of the ground (‘adamah – of the earth as in dust, dirt, an soil), because (min – for the reason and by way of comparison) mankind (‘adam) has come to prey upon and has continuously become consistent with (‘ad – is forever plundering and spoiling, seeking another victim as an ongoing witness of the essential nature as) animals (bahemah – beasts), as far as (‘ad – to the same degree as) being a creature who is always moving around (remes) while preying upon what flies about (wa ‘ad ‘owph) in the sky (ha shamaym – 561atmosphere or heavens). Indeed (ky – making an exception and emphasizing this point), I am grieved (nacham – I have come to an accurate understanding regarding what has gone wrong and express sympathy and sorrow (nifal perfect – God felt this way due to no fault of His own and would soon be over it)) because (ky – for the express reason) I have engaged with them (‘asah hem – I have acted, expending considerable energy for them).’” (Bare’syth / In the Beginning / Genesis 6:7)
As we shall soon see, Yahowah’s instructions to Noach, who appears next in this story, would be to save His creation. He was frustrated with man’s propensity to be wrong about Him and to be vicious toward others. He wanted a fresh start, something which could be achieved by wiping away the impurities. And the best way to achieve this would be to inundate the region where this was occurring with copious amounts of water. It has always been the most universal solvent. As such, we are on solid ground rendering mahah as “I will extend the boundaries and then cleanse by wiping away the filth.”
Based upon what Yahowah has revealed, the man He had conceived in His image was now acting like an animal, albeit more disingenuous and treacherous. Just as the other animals were not suitable for ‘Adam, neshamah-man was ill-suited for a relationship with Yahowah.
As we make our way through Yahowah’s testimony, we will find that ‘asah is best understood when it is rendered as “engaged with” or “acted upon.” Hebrew has much better words to express the concept of “made.” ‘Asah is most comfortable presented in a relational sense whereby God performs on our behalf when we engage with Him and act upon His instructions. If anything, Yahowah was disappointed that, after He had taken ‘Adam out of the realm of the ordinary, placed him in a unique Garden, breathed His neshamah | conscience into him, and then developed a meaningful relationship, man chose to listen 562to the Snake. It was a case of unrequited love. After investing so much of Himself into this relationship, His contributions were squandered such that man was now a source of sorrow rather than joy.
Bad was now so prevalent and pervasive, even God had nearly lost hope. I can only imagine what he must think when he sees Muslims and Progressives banding together today to justify terrorizing His people.
In the Towrah and Prophets, Yah tells us that His power and ability and His capacity for mercy and compassion are infinite. Therefore, we must conclude that His patience, His willingness to continuously witness evil, is limited. As such, Yahowah does not profess unending tolerance of that which corrupts and deceives His creation. There is a limit to hope. We are exceeding those bounds.
Fortunately, there were, as there are now, individuals who have found favor with Yah. Albeit they were few – as rare as eight among eight million, or eight thousand among eight billion.
“And yet (wa – so then), Noach (Noach – Guide and Leader, one who directs to a safe and peaceful place: from nachah – a trustworthy leader and guide, reliably creating an opportunity for a more favorable situation, and nuwach – to provide a place for the spirit to settle, abide, and remain) found (matsa’ – discovered and obtained, learned about, came to possess, and experienced, having gained information not commonly known for) favor (chen – a fortuitous response, acceptance, mercy, compassion, fondness, and kindness, a special and beneficial consideration which made him beautiful, charming, pleasing, and agreeable) in (ba) Yahowah’s (YaHoWaH) eyes (‘ayn – sight and presence, point of view, perspective, perception, and understanding).” (Bare’syth / Genesis 6:8)
Names mean a great deal to Yahowah. Most convey a relevant truth. For example, since mankind had become 563more bad than good, more fallen than upright, God provided “a guide” to show us the way back to His secure and restful, joyous and good, Home. He is doing so again today with Yada, His Basar, Choter, and Nakry, a Zarowa’.
Matsa’ explains how Noach came to find favor with Yahowah, revealing how we should respond. Our Heavenly Father has always communicated with and revealed Himself to those who want to know Him, whether through an audible voice, an inner sense of purpose and direction, and/or His Word and Spirit. Those who seek, find. Noach came to experience Yah’s favor because He “discovered and obtained information not commonly known.” And so have we.
Further, matsa’ suggests that once Noach took the initiative to know Yahowah, God responded in kind, engaging with him to keep him and his family informed and safe during a difficult time. Therefore, I find it interesting that chen is the base of chanah, which means “to rest while camping in a tent shelter.” It is through God’s chen that we get to celebrate the Miqra’ of Sukah and Camp Out with God throughout eternity. This outcome awaits those who are receptive to this appeal, bringing a much better expression of October 7th, exchanging the horrid, religious one in 2023 for a celebration of the relationship in 2033, when Sukah begins during the 120th Yowbel.
In the context of what came before and what follows, God wants us to know that His focus is on delivering individuals and their families from the negative consequences of human religious, political, and militant malfeasance. Noach was chosen to pilot the ark because he was “tsadaq – right” about what was important to God.
“This is (‘eleh – adding perspective on this subject) a written record of the story and the genealogical account (towledowt – the inscribed explanation of the birth and 564descendants from the family line) of Noach (Noach – the Guide and Leader, one who directs to a safe place).
Noach (Noach – Trustworthy Guide and Reliable Leader) was (hayah – actually existed in this moment at this time as) an upright and correct (tsadyq – a right-minded, righteous, redeemed, innocent, and just) individual (‘ysh) of integrity (tamym – unblemished and unimpaired, correct and truthful) in (ba) his generation (dowr huw’ – household, encampment, and home).
With the God (‘eth ha ‘elohym), Noach (Noach – Guide and Leader, a trustworthy and reliable individual) walked (halak – journeyed through life (hitpael perfect – independently and of his own initiative, completely devoid of societal influences)).” (Bare’syth / Genesis 6:9)
Noach, like Dowd, was tsadaq | right regarding God. He was a man of integrity – someone unimpaired by society. This is what made him exceptional and acceptable. Rather than bowing down and worshiping an un-god, he walked with Almighty God. In his generation, there was only one such individual – making him one in a million. In terms of God’s popularity, very little has changed.
In a fallen world, Noach, in absolute discord with the Quran, was standing tall in Yah’s presence. In addition to being correct, he was tsadaq | vindicated. This means he was declared innocent of the guilt pervasive in the community of man. But most of all, Noach was tsadaq | upright, and thus not among the Naphylym who were prostrating themselves.
Yahowah walked in the Garden with ‘Adam. And now, He is accepting Noach because this man chose to walk with Him. Since God is repeatedly emphasizing the importance of being mobile and upright in His presence, I would like to share something important. Unlike Allah, Yahowah never tells His people to bow down in His presence. He does not want anyone to worship Him.
565God did not issue a command to “march,” so we are not following orders. He did not say “run,” therefore, He is not expecting that we keep pace. He did not say “fly,” which suggests that there is no particular skill required on our behalf. He did not even say “jump,” so we could take our time. God did not say “ride” either, indicating that we have to take some initiative. He simply requested that we “walk to Him and with Him” which places us side by side.
“Noach (Noach) fathered (yalad) three (shalowsh) sons (benym) named (shem) Shem (Shem – Name (describes Yisra’el and especially Yahuwdym)), Cham (Cham – Sweltering Hot and Enraged (symbolic of Egyptians and Africans)), and Yepheth (wa ‘eth Yepheth – He is Open and Easily Persuaded, enticed, or deceived; errantly transliterated Japheth (indicative of Europeans)).” (Bare’syth / In the Beginning / Genesis 6:10)
This statement is one of many that helps explain why certain numbers are important to Yah. One represents God, for He is one. Two designates a relationship, such as being with God in the Covenant. Three is the number of family, of mother and father conceiving a child. Therefore, it should not be surprising that the most closely related words to shalowsh | three mean “acting as a unit” and “growing, becoming larger and more firmly rooted.” Emphasizing this point is why Noach had three sons.
Four and forty represent the completion of a time of testing as we shall soon discover during the flood. Five is the number of confusion. Six is the number of man, which is why Sheth was so named. And seven is perfection, serving as the basis of the Shabat. Seven is the result of combining God/one with man/six.
Following the flood in Bare’syth / Genesis 10, the genealogies of these three men, Shem, Cham, and Yepheth, were used to create a table of nations – or at least realms that would have some direct involvement with Yisra’el. 566Shem’s sons were Elam, Asshur, Arpakshad, Lud, Aram, Uz, Hul, Gether, and Meshech. Cham’s sons were Cush, Mitsraym, Put, and Canaan. Yepheth fathered Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. God then says of these individuals: “Each had their own language, land, and nation.”
Shem’s sons migrated to Mesopotamia, forming Sumer and the Assyrian and Babylonian Empires. Cham’s sons journeyed to Canaan and Northern Africa. And Yepheth’s boys became Europeans, beginning with Greeks and Romans, but later fodder for Islam. Elements would remain in the Caucasus region of Eastern Turkey, between the Black and Caspian Seas. One of his sons, Gomer, shared a name with the temple prostitute Howsha’ | Hosea would marry to demonstrate Yisra’el’s unfaithfulness.
Thus far, Yahowah has spoken of the fallen state of humankind in unflattering ways. We have learned that man had become: “common and contemptible,” from chalal – no longer special, becoming defiled, desecrated, and profane, dishonorable and lacking integrity, prone to inflicting injury and wounding by stabbing, while increasing in numbers and influence, which was derived from la rabab – becoming prolific and dominant.
To all of this, God added…
“Now (wa) the region (ha ‘erets – the territory, area, and land) in God’s (‘elohym) presence (la paneh – from His perspective and in His proximity) was perverted and corrupt (shachath – ravaged, rotten, and ruined, devastated and destroyed, becoming a putrid and polluted slime pit of corruption, oppression, and decay, not unlike a dungeon where captives are held against their will, with troubling lack of integrity). Moreover (wa), the land (ha ‘erets – the region and territory) was filled (male’ – was replete and overflowing, satisfied and wholeheartedly in compliance with, was loudly proclaiming and occupied) 567with Hamas violence, cruelty, and injustice (hamas – destructive and maiming influences, terrorism as a result of everyone being wrong or wronged, brutality, killing, thievery, plunder, ferocity, malice, oppression, and looting without any moral restraint (often transliterated as chamas)).” (Bare’syth / In the Beginning / Genesis 6:11)
Do you suppose it is a coincidence that Allah’s most popular and demonic terrorist organization is named “Hamas?” It is certainly fitting. But is it prophetic?
During the years I spent exposing and condemning the terrorist nature of Islam, when I was confronted with the argumentum distraction: “The God of the Bible was also violent,” I would respond by saying that the ratio between reconciling and vicious verses in the 2,000-year-older text is more than 1,000 to 1 favorable, whereas in the Quran, that is reversed by a factor of less than 1 in 100. These books are opposites in this regard.
Beyond this realization, what I wanted to convey was unfortunately beyond the grasp of most people in the talk radio listening audience. However, the answer is exposed here. There is a consequence of being tolerant of deceitful, destructive, and deadly dogmas and of the people these politicized religions infect. It is not compassionate or caring, even forgivable, to show mercy to the merciless.
This is why Yahowah exposes and condemns those who threaten the wellbeing of His people – doing so as an act of compassion. We should respond similarly, no matter how viciously we are rebuffed.
When corruption becomes sufficiently prevalent that it is accepted as the norm, as was the case here, those societies breed “Hamas – terrorism, violent destruction, plunder and lawlessness, cruelty and injustice, without any moral restraint.” Even today, everything Muslims touch is corrupted – including their children and mentality.
568To drive this point home, let’s consider another modern manifestation. Americans consider themselves peaceful, and yet, in the 400 years since Europeans began to systematically eradicate and displace native peoples, colonists turned citizens have fought over 100 wars. Since its founding, the United States has been at peace for one year in twenty. Recently, after making a mess of Vietnam, Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, and Yemen, the U.S. initiated, funded, and armed a proxy war with Russia – which is starving the world, impoverishing people, and will likely result in nuclear conflict.
Americans condemn Saudi Arabia for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, while somehow forgetting that, since the nation began using drones on 19 June 2004 in Pakistan, it has murdered 33,000 civilians, nearly 1,000 children among them, raining death from the skies without tribunal 14,000 times. In particular, Barack Obama acted as if he were a god with the power of life or death. And let’s be clear, not even 1% of those killed were guilty of having killed an American, and none were convicted at trial.
And that’s just the beginning of America’s deadly outreach. The invasion of Afghanistan would put 175,000 people in graves – all to make a bad situation worse. The US military would kill another 300,000 in Iraq in the process of giving Iraq to Iran and destabilizing the world.
Prior to this, America’s dishonest and ill-fated invasion of Vietnam left 3,300,000 people dead, two-thirds of them civilians. Even worse, the nation would justify sacrificing 58,000 of its own sons and daughters in this political misadventure. And never once has the US apologized for its destructive engagements, nor has the nation learned anything from them.
As a result of having built the largest military and spy apparatus in the history of humankind, one currently larger than every other nation combined, there is an entire chapter 569of Yasha’yah / Isaiah devoted to exposing and condemning Americans as the merchants of death. Muslims are bad, but they are not alone.
The lesson here is that unchecked, if not properly exposed and condemned, the children within misled societies will ingest the same poison, and they, in turn, will terrorize others. Innocent people will be adversely affected by belligerents so long as militancy is tolerated and esteemed – as it is throughout the Muslim world.
And let’s be clear, while I’ve used America as a current example, worse could be said of Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Greece, Rome, Asia, and Europe – which serve to prove the point God is making. Life is now precarious, with far more people dying at the hands of militaries and militants than ever before. This is particularly alarming because the overwhelming preponderance of people alive today in the fall of 2023 will be dead ten years from now. Without Yahowah’s intervention, life would be extinguished on Earth. Therefore, the narrative God is currently providing regarding what occurred at the dawn of recorded history is prophetic of the many reasons mankind is on the cusp of self-annihilation.
In His Towrah pronouncement, Yahowah recognized that deceitful, destructive, deadly, and damning dogmas had become pervasive. He realized that the consequence of unchecked corruption was: “hamas – terrorism, cruelty, and looting.” And He knew that if He did not stymie this religious and political malfeasance by eliminating the provocateurs, there would be no hope for anyone.
Let’s put ourselves in God’s place for a moment. If you could slay Muhammad and his 100 most loyal companions in 622 CE, would you, knowing that Islam would ravage the world, terrorizing, killing, and plundering hundreds of millions – including the 3,000 murdered in the name of Allah on September 11th, 2001 and 1,200 more on 570October 7th, 2023? If you could wipe out Hitler and the 1,000 most fervent Nazis in the 1920s and 30s to spare the 50,000,000 victims of the Second World War, would you? In 1948, would you eliminate the 10,000 most loyal supporters of Mao to spare the lives of 40,000,000 otherwise innocent Chinese men, women, and children? More importantly, at least to God, in that same year, would you remove all of the Muslims in Israel who hated His people and sought to annihilate them by deploying their Army of the Holy War? How about those who have been beguiled into shouting, “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free?” I would, you should, and God will.
The reason Yahowah asked His Chosen People to destroy Yarychow | Jericho (meaning “of the moon”), ‘Ay | Ai (“heap of ruins”), Gib’own | Gibeon (“evil and idolatrous hill”), Lachysh | Lachish (“invincible individuals”), Chebrown | Hebron (“to associate with the occult”), Dabyr | Debir (“to fear the word”), and Chatsowr | Hazor (“protected castle”) in 1400 BCE, eliminating the population in these towns, is for the same reason He responded similarly 4,400 years ago.
Had these corrupt people been allowed to exist within the Promised Land, they would have adversely affected the people chosen to be Yahowah’s witnesses. Had that occurred, you and I would not be reading the Word of God or be able to benefit from it. Using Yahowah’s parlance, “their iniquity was full,” meaning that, similar to the people depicted during Noach’s day, there was no longer any hope that the Canaanites would be able to coexist in a civilized way with their neighbors, or any hope that their own children wouldn’t become equally corrupt. For the benefit of the many, to eliminate hamas | terrorism, the corrupt were curtailed. It was the most reasonable and merciful thing to do. The consequences of not doing so are WWI, WWII, the Holocaust, and the 1948, 1967, 1973, and 2023 wars perpetrated by Muslims against Israel.
571“And (wa) God inspected (ra’ah – looked upon and observed) the area (‘eth ha ‘erets – the land, region, and territory), and behold (hineh – pay attention, look intently and see), it was perverted and corrupt (shachath – ravaged, rotten, and ruined, devastated and destroyed, a putrid and polluted slime pit, a basin of corruption and decay, making it like a depressed dungeon where captives are held against their will, demonstrating a troubling lack of integrity), because (ky) the entirety of the animalistic nature of humanity, including their every proclamation (kol basar – flesh, animal nature, and public pronouncements of preachers which are perceived to be appealing), was perverted and corrupting (shachath – ravaged and rotten, putrid and polluted, slimy and decaying, a basin of the controlled and depressed), with their ways (‘eth derek huw’) superimposed upon (‘al – all over) the earth (ha ‘erets – the region and area).” (Bare’syth / In the Beginning / Genesis 6:12)
The region was ravaged and rotten because man was corrupting it. It was polluted because man had become putrid. Religiously and politically indoctrinated humans were the cause, and it was ruined as a consequence.
There is far more to basar than “flesh.” Its Akkadian root reveals that the term conveys a “descendant,” a “relative,” or someone who is “near of kin.” The best etymological tools indicate basar’s primary meaning, however, isn’t flesh, but instead “to herald a proclamation and make public pronouncements which appeal to those at whom they are directed.” While the word is often translated as “living things and creatures,” even as “animals,” based upon the context in which it is used, basar can just as easily convey anything from mankind’s animalistic nature to his Pollyannish speech. And while the basar | human herald can be good or bad, in this place and time, the pontifications were paleo-Islamic.
572Yahowah was not pleased with His creation, so if He wanted to avoid the consequence, He had a choice. He could wipe them out or prune them back.
“So (wa), God (‘elohym) said (‘amar) to (la) Noach (Noach – Guide and Leader, a trustworthy and reliable individual), ‘I am coming to pursue a time-constrained (bow’ – I will diligently and demonstrably in this location cause (qal perfect)) pruning, a cutting away and separating to place limits and restrictions (qets – I am restraining and restricting, diminishing by placing limitations; from qatsats – to cut off part of an extremity by shearing, making a clear distinction that there are two separate and distinct parts) on approaching My presence (la paneh ‘any – concerning My personal existence and appearance) for all mankind, including all of man’s religious proclamations (kol basar – humanity’s animalistic nature as if he were entirely flesh, along with the public pronouncements of preachers which are perceived to be appealing) because (ky) the earth (ha ‘erets – this area, region, and land) is filled (male’ – is overflowing and satisfied, wholeheartedly in agreement and loudly proclaiming, replete and preoccupied) with Hamas violence, cruelty, and injustice (hamas – terrorism as a result of everyone being wrong, maiming and malice, brutal killing, thievery and plunder, ferocious oppression, and looting without any moral restraint (transliterated as chamas)) because of (min) their presence (paneh hem – their existence and appearance).
Therefore, here and now (wa hineh), I will ravage their slime pit and destroy them and their perverse corruptions (‘any shachath hem – I will devastate them, causing them to decay and decompose in this basin, wiping them out by laying waste to their oppressive and enslaving nature) along with the ground within this region (‘eth ha ‘erets).’” (Bare’syth / In the Beginning / Genesis 6:13)
573God seldom works alone. ‘Adam was at His side in the Garden when Yah engaged on behalf of the life He had created. And now Noach would build His Ark to rescue man and animal. As we move forward, we will discover that without His seven meetings with ‘Abraham, there would be no Covenant. Had He not partnered with Moseh | Moses, His family would not have been liberated from slavery nor returned to the Promised Land.
He led His people and approached His Chosen One with Shamuw’el | Samuel, through whom He anointed Dowd the Mashyach | Messiah. And it was with Dowd | David that He shepherded His flock, uniting and protecting Yisra’el. He used Solomon to build His Home on Mowryah | Moriah. He deployed prophets to speak to fallen men in hopes we would listen. He then fulfilled Pesach | Passover and Matsah | UnYeasted Bread leading to Bikuwrym | Firstborn Children through His Son. He even spoke of using a Choter | Sucker emerging from the root out of which Dowd grew who would be a Nakry | Observant Foreigner to Basar | Herald His people’s homecoming.
The most influential and powerful being in the universe, our Creator and the Author of life, chooses to work through the people He conceived. It is, therefore, not only wise for us to consider why He engages through individuals like Noach and his family, ‘Abraham and Sarah, Yitschaq and Ya’aqob, Moseh and ‘Aharown, Shamuw’el and Dowd, but to also contemplate why He chooses these particular men and women.
While discovering these answers is an important part of our journey to God, it is obvious that this man was chosen because he stood apart from the naphalym. He was tasked with building a ship that Yahowah could have provided instantaneously to show the advantages afforded to those who listen to Yahowah and do as He asks.
574As we approach them, think about what made ‘Abraham, Moseh, Shamuw’el, and especially Dowd uniquely desirable. And while doing so, appreciate that this is far more than a cerebral exercise. When we know what God likes, we become ever more like Him. We do not have to be perfect to approach Yahowah – just correctly assess what He wants and is offering.
When life plays out exactly as He has foretold, we learn to trust Him over time. And in this relationship, there is nothing more vital than trust.
Just as gardeners prune plants to cut out decay and to promote healthy growth, God was prepared to remove corrupt humans for the sake of those who had not been contaminated. And while that is clear, isn’t it also obvious that our world today is filled with terrorism, cruelty, violence, destruction, plunder, killing, thievery, injustice, and looting without moral restraint? And as such, might Yahowah’s future judgments, the pruning of humankind which will occur in 2033, be similar? Are we seeing in the preamble to the deluge a preview of what to expect in our immediate future?
Having elected to prune mankind, Yahowah needed a way to keep His family safe. While He could have made the vessel Himself or found a much more straightforward way to protect Noach, his family, and the animals, God prefers doing things with us. And Yah never misses an opportunity to reinforce His message, giving us the opportunity to revel in the brilliance of His Word as He intertwines relevant metaphors such as the Ark.
But more than this, by building an enormous vessel six hundred miles from the nearest ocean, God not only memorialized how Noach engaged with Him but also provided His critics and doubters with an overt admonition of “biblical proportions.” There is little doubt that Noach’s shipbuilding exploits were featured regularly in the Black 575Sea Gazette. Everyone in the ‘erets | region would have known about his devotion. And that’s because God wants everyone to be left without excuse.
Further, Noach’s undaunted confidence and sense of purpose in the face of unending ridicule demonstrated the benefit of yada’ | knowing Yahowah. If you were open-minded, watching Noach’s fortitude and perseverance, you would be compelled to contemplate what, or Whom, he knew that you did not. As such, Noach’s example demonstrates the difference between faith and trust, between believing and relying. It was a wake-up call that was missed, just as Yada Yahowah goes unnoticed among those on the cusp of being swept up in another rising storm. Perhaps interested parties should look to the wood piled and stained on the bookshelf at YadaYah.com as the final vessel out of this world.
“‘Choose of your own volition to engage and make (‘asah – of your own freewill, act, performing the work to fashion (qal imperative – a genuine request on behalf of the relationship offered under the auspices of freewill)) for yourself (la ‘atah) a timber (‘es – a wooden, and thus from trees as a construction material) Ark (tebah – a waterproof vessel which will provide safety by floating) of resinous lumber and tar (gopher – laminated wood glulam beam, a combination of cypress and pine pitch).
Of your own initiative, engage to construct (‘asah – under the auspices of freewill, choose to act and build) stalls (qen – rooms, receptacles, nests, and beds) within the Ark (‘eth ha tebah – as part of the vessel) and cover (wa kaphar – coat, as in envelop, and purge so as to reconcile and clean) parts of her (‘eth hy’ min) living quarters (beyth – house, family home, and rooms) and exterior (wa min chuwts) with (ba) the pitch (kopher – tar, natural bituminous material like asphalt used to seal a vessel).’” (Bare’syth / In the Beginning / Genesis 6:14)
576This is the first time we have encountered the volitional mood. Freewill is conveyed in first person as the cohortative, in second person as the imperative, and in third person as the jussive. Here, since God is speaking to Noach, with His request conveyed in the imperative mood, Yahowah is making it clear that Noach is free to accept or reject this guidance.
Of particular interest in relation to the Ark is kaphar, meaning “to coat, covering something.” It is the same word Yahowah selected to convey the purpose of Yowm Kipurym – the Day of Reconciliations. Although kipurym is plural, its consonant root is indistinguishable from kaphar. So, in the context of the impending flood, and removing the poison man had spread, kaphar means “to repair the damage done by an offense by way of making amends.” This is a very specific form of forgiveness which includes a pardon leading to reconciliation. And that is the purpose of Noach’s Ark as well as the Ark of the Covenant.
Therefore, we should not be surprised that kaphar is also used to describe the “cover of the Ark of the Covenant which comprises the Kaporeth | Mercy Seat.” This is where Yahowah instructed the Lowy (meaning “those who unite,” but corrupted to “Levites”) to anoint on Yowm Kipurym to resolve the consequence of mankind going astray.
Lastly, you will notice that the Ark’s “exterior was covered in bituminous pitch,” which is a byproduct of carbon, life, death, and time – not in resin or sap. If, as fundamentalist Christians believe, the planet and universe were only a little more than six thousand years old, the natural tar compound would not have been available.
Yahowah is consistent. He provides us with a comprehensive explanation. Every detail is relevant, instructive, and beneficial.
“‘These (wa zeh) are her production (‘eth ‘asah ‘eth hy’ – her manufacturing and actionable) relationships 577(‘asher – benefits which reveal the way to get the most out of life): the Ark’s (ha tebah – the protective vessel’s) length (‘orek – restraint and forbearance) 300 (shalowsh me’ah – related to shiluwm – reward and shalowm – recompense and restitution) cubits (‘amah – reach, the length of a forearm from the tip of the hand to the elbow), her width (rochab hy’ – expanse and breadth) 50 (chamishym – fifty (indicative of Shabuw’ah)) cubits (‘amah), and her height (wa qowmah hy’ – her stature; from quwm – to arise, stand, be accomplished, steadfast and established) 30 (shalowshym – thirty; from shalowm – reconciliation) cubits (‘amah).’” (Bare’syth 6:15)
Using the Royal Cubit known to Moseh (20.6 inches versus the future Hebrew cubit at 18 inches), the Ark would be 515 feet long overall, have an 86-foot beam, and be 52 feet high from her keel to the roofline of the deckhouse. The engineering know-how and ship-building technology for a vessel of this size were beyond anything contemplated or attempted during Noach’s lifetime.
Now that we are 4,400 years more advanced technologically, let’s compare the Ark’s dimensions to the kinds of ships most similar to it today – doing so in recognition that Yahowah provided the length, beam, and draft “‘eth ‘asah ‘eth hy’ ‘asher – as her production relationships.” The U.S.S. Nimitz aircraft carrier has an overall length of 1,092 feet and features a beam of 134 feet below a flight deck which is 252 feet wide. The ratio of average width to her length is therefore 0.17, which is a match for the Ark’s ratio of width to length, which is 0.17.
In World War II, the battleship Bismarck was the pinnacle of German engineering. It had a ratio of length to width of 0.16. The world’s largest ship was the supertanker, Knock Nevis. It was commissioned as the Seawise Giant but ran aground in the shallows of the Strait of Hormuz following an Iraqi Exocet missile strike in 1986. When she was refloated, the ship was renamed to distance 578her from that stigma. History aside, this pride of Japanese shipbuilding was 1,504 feet long and had a 226-foot beam, providing a ratio of 0.15 to one. With a fully loaded draft of 80 feet, and freeboard of 30 feet, the hull of the Knock Nevis was 110 feet tall. For these measurements to be comparable to those given for the Ark, we must consider the deckhouse. And even with that of the Knock Nevis’ being five stories tall (rising 53 feet above the hull), as opposed to the Ark’s two-story superstructure, this still yields comparative ratios of overall height to length of 0.11 for the tanker and a similar factor of 0.10 for the Ark.
To put these findings into perspective, the best-preserved ancient warship from which dimensions are retrievable is Sweden’s Vasa. This vessel, commissioned in 1628, was the largest and most advanced ship of her day, built and designed by the world’s most formidable navy. And yet, she sank on her maiden voyage, not even making it out of Stockholm’s sheltered archipelago. Having recently raised the Vasa from her watery grave, naval architects have determined that the ship’s proportions were not able to withstand the onslaught of wind and waves. She was 69 meters long including an excessive bowsprit. The hull itself was 61 meters. The Vasa was 11.7 meters wide, and 52.5 meters high from her keel to the top of her stubby mainmast. From keel to stern, she rose 24.1 meters. Without her bowsprit, the unseaworthy vessel’s ratio of beam to length was a gangly 0.19, and her overall height to overall length comparison was a grotesquely unstable 0.76. Discounting the mast and bowsprit, the Vasa’s keel-to-stern height contrasted with her hull length provided a top-heavy ratio of 0.40, ultimately dooming her.
By analyzing the Ark’s engineering specifications and comparing them to those that mankind has only recently been able to understand and achieve, it is evident that the Ark’s proportions were four thousand years ahead of her 579time. The most logical explanation is that these words were inspired by someone with foreknowledge.
Beyond her maritime prowess, there are other aspects of the Ark worth noting. Her length, symbolic of restraint and forbearance, was 300 cubits, with shalowsh directing us to our “shalowm – reconciliation.” It would be within our “‘amah – reach, at the fingertips of an outstretched arm and open hand.” Her width, which speaks of expansiveness, would be 50 cubits, with chamishym directing us toward being reenergized and emancipated on Shabuw’ah | the Promise of the Shabat – which is celebrated 50 days after Matsah | UnYeasted Bread. Our stature, akin to her height, would be enhanced by the shalowm – recompense, restitution, and reconciliation available to us throughout Yahowah’s Towrah.
“‘Engage so as to build (‘asah – actually fashion and form) a roof (tsohar – a covering; from tsahar – glistening oil) for the Ark (la ha tebah – for the protective vessel) such that it is over a cubit (wa ‘el ‘amah – 20.6 inches higher than) over and above (min la ma’al) when you are finished with her (kalah hy’ – when she is completed by you and has met her objectives (piel imperfect energic nun jussive – it is being finalized as a result of Noach’s involvement with emphatic and unfolding implications which enable it to accomplish its purpose)).
Then (wa) place (sym – put) the doorway (pethach – an opening and entrance; from pathach – to be open) for the Ark (tebah – the vessel) in (ba) her side (tsad hy’ – her flank). Place (sym – put, bring about and arrange, then examine, seeking to learn from) lower ones (tachtym – beneath and instead), a second and third (sheny wa shalyshy).’” (Bare’syth / In the Beginning / Genesis 6:16)
Some translations suggest that God was asking for a second and third deck to be built within the hull of the ship. And while there may have been multiple levels, there is no 580reference to another “floor” or “deck,” only to “pethach – doorways.” Dead Sea Scroll fragments confirm the location and quantity used here but not the identity of an additional object being quantified. If it is doorways, this could be symbolic of the fact that the Towrah presents three different doors that people can pass through at the end of life – with the uppermost being eternity in God’s household, and the lesser two: death or damnation.
Accurately translated, what follows is of profound importance. God has confirmed two critical components of what He intended to accomplish with the flood and why.
“‘Behold (wa hineh – look up now and pay attention, especially to the details), I (‘any) will bring (bow’ ‘eth – I will enter into spacetime and pursue, coming and arriving with, causing (hifil stem whereby the subject, God, causes the object to participate in the action and participle form which is a verbal adjective, i.e., highly descriptive action)) the flood (mabuwl – the inundating deluge of overwhelming proportions) of water (maym) upon (‘al) the region (ha ‘erets – the land, territory, area, earth, and ground) to ravage this slime pit and destroy the perverse corruptions (la shachath – to eliminate the decay and decomposition in this basin, wiping out the oppressive and enslaving nature (piel infinitive – the object, the basar, suffer the effect of the verb’s action such that they are defined by it)), all (kol) related (‘asher) animalistic humans and religious preachers (basar – bodies of mankind, people who reveal their actual nature as preachers and messengers, from basar – to preach and to publish a message which is perceived to be appealing and acceptable (like the Talmud) in association with that which is received as “good news” (corresponding to the Christian Gospels), or the bashir – good tidings of punishing bodies in the Quran) in (ba) whom (huw’) a spirit (ruwach) lives (chayym – resides and remains, making promises of a more prosperous and blessed circumstance in life) from (min) 581beneath (tachath – under and below, a place of burdens, oppression, subjugation, and control instead of) the heavens (ha shamaym – the abode of God). All (kol) who are related (‘asher) in (ba) the region (ha ‘erets) will expire (gawa’ – will perish, gasping for breath, becoming corpses).’” (Bare’syth / In the Beginning / Genesis 6:17)
This is God’s doing. He is cleaning up the mess man has made. And He is doing so with “mabuwl maym – copious amounts of water.” This deluge could be a surge in the seas, a tidal wave, a torrential downpour, or an overwhelming inundation from subterranean sources. In fact, the next time we encounter mabuwl, we will explore how each connotation leads us to interesting places.
In this regard, water is considered the universal solvent because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid and can, therefore, wash them away. This is due to its bipolar nature, with oxygen negatively charged and hydrogen, positively.
Ha‘erets is typically translated as “the land” but can mean “earth” as in the sense of “ground.” ‘Erets means “region, territory, realm, or area.” In the creation and flood accounts, it is often presented as “earth” which, with our modern worldview, is wrongly interpreted as the name of the planet as opposed to ground or soil. And that has given the impression that the flood was designed to wipe out all life on Earth, covering the entire globe, right to the peaks of the tallest mountains. However, if God had wanted to say that He intended to flood the entire “world,” rather than this land or region, He would have used tebel. It means “world” as in the “habitable portion of the planet.” Of its thirty-six occurrences in the Towrah and Prophets, tebel is translated as “world” thirty-five times.
Eight people among millions had elected to walk away from the family of man and associate with Yah. That ratio is no different today. Speaking to Noach, Yahowah 582introduced the Beryth | Covenant on behalf of the precious few who choose to be part of His Family. The clouds gathering on this day would have a silver lining…
“‘I will establish (wa quwm – then I will stand up enabling others to stand, confirming that which will elevate, causing them to rise, and I will set up and validate), accordingly (‘eth), My (‘any – I Am’s) Covenant (beryth – Family Relationship, Home, and Household, partnership, pledge between individuals, binding promise, alliance, agreement and compact) with you (‘eth ‘atah – through you, in association with you, and to accompany you).” (Bare’syth / In the Beginning / Genesis 6:18)
Beryth | Covenant is arguably the most important word in the Towrah, in the Hebrew lexicon, and perhaps in any language. It depicts a “mutually beneficial relationship” based upon “beyth – family, home, and household,” making Beryth a Familial Relationship. This is the first time the word has appeared, and yet, every word we have read thus far has led us to this place, even those, which described the worst in human behavior. That is because this is Yahowah’s Family, not man’s. So, as with the Covenant, Noach’s adventure would be a family affair…
“‘When you enter, you will be included (wa bow’ – when you come and arrive pursuing this, you will have returned) into (‘el) the Ark (tebah – protective vessel), you, your sons (‘atah wa ben ‘atah), your woman (wa ‘ishah ‘atah), and your sons’ female companions with you (wa ‘ishah ben ‘eth ‘atah).’” (Bare’syth 6:18)
Everyone is familiar with what follows. Noach was asked to bring two of every animal into the Ark, a male and female of each lifeform, along with the food to feed them, so that their species would continue to populate the region.
“‘And of every (wa min kol – so out of each) lifeform among all of the animals (chay min kol basar), two of everything (shanaym min kol), you should bring (bow’ – 583should arrive for you to include) to the Ark (‘el ha tebah) so that they live with you (la chayah ‘eth ‘atah). They shall be (wa hayah) male (zakar – masculine to remember, to commit to memory) and female (wa naqebah – feminine, beautifully adorned, an engraved gem).’” (Bare’syth / In the Beginning / Genesis 6:19)
Noach was saved by following God’s instructions. It works every time…
“So (wa), Noach (Noach – the Trustworthy Guide and Reliable Leader who directs us to a safe and peaceful place, from nachah – to lead and guide creating an opportunity for a more favorable state which is reliable and can be trusted, and nuwach – to provide a place for the spirit to settle down, rest, abide, and remain), consistently engaged, doing (‘asah – expending the effort to accomplish) everything in accordance with (ka kol – consistent with the totality of) what (‘asher – the benefits of the relationship revealing the way to get the most out of life which) God (‘elohym) had instructed for him (tsawah ‘eth huw’ – had asked him, assigning and appointing for him, providing directions to enable him) so that he could perform, carrying it out (ken ‘asah – for this reason in reference to all that had been said and had occurred, he acted and engaged).” (Bare’syth / Genesis 6:22)
We could go on and be further enlightened by Yahowah’s discussions with Noach, but at some point, we must return to Islam’s dufuses. And this may be as good a place as any… Tabari I: 367 “The Apostles said to Jesus, ‘Would you send us a man who saw the ark and could tell us about it.’ He took a handful of the earth in his palm and asked, ‘Do you know what this is?’”
While it is hard to believe they couldn’t answer the question, it provides an insight into Islam. Muslims don’t think, they obey. Tabari I: 367 “‘Allah and His prophet know best!’ they replied. Jesus said, ‘This is the grave of Noah’s son, Ham.’ He struck the hill with his staff and said, ‘Rise with Allah’s 584permission!’ And behold there was Ham, with gray hair, shaking the earth from his head.”
With a purported miracle of the magnitude narrated by Muhammad, you’d think someone would have at least mentioned it in their Gospels. But they didn’t, I suppose, because it didn’t happen. What’s more, if Jesus actually existed, and if the misnomer resurrected a relatively meaningless figure like Ham, why didn’t Allah empower Muhammad, his most important messenger, to bring Abraham back to life, or Moses, even the mythical ‘Iesa?
Tabari I: 367 “Jesus asked him whether he had perished in that state with gray hair. Ham replied, ‘No, when I died, I was a young man, but I thought the Hour (of Doom) had come, and my hair turned gray.’ Jesus said, ‘Tell us about Noah’s ark.’
He said, ‘It was 1,200 cubits long and 600 cubits wide. It had three stories, one for domestic and wild animals, another for human beings, and a third for birds.
When the dung of the animals became excessive, Allah inspired Noah to tickle the elephant’s tail. He did, and a male and female hog fell down and attacked the dung. When the rat fell down into the seams of the planks of the ark and gnawed at them, Allah inspired Noah to strike the lion between its eyes and a male and female cat came out from its nose and attacked the rat.’”
So, who do you think is telling the truth, Yahowah or Muhammad? Since the answer is obvious; why does anyone believe the Quran, Sunnah, and Hadith?
O Messenger of Allah, tell us another lie… Tabari I: 368 “Jesus asked Ham, ‘How did Noah learn that all the places had been under water?’ He replied, ‘He sent the raven to bring him information, but it found a corpse and pounced upon it, whereupon Noah cursed the raven that it should be fearful; therefore the raven does not like houses. He sent the dove. It came with an olive leaf in its beak and clay on its feet. Noah thus knew….’
The Apostles said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, why do you not bring him to our people so that he can sit down and talk with us?’ Jesus replied, ‘How could one who has no sustenance [substance?] 585follow you?’ Jesus said to Ham, ‘Go back with Allah’s permission.’ And Ham turned to dust again.”
Rather than jump into the middle of the Quran’s second version of the deluge, I’d like to sneak up on it so that you might begin to see how Allah manages to weave in his favorite themes.
Quran 011.001 “Alif Lam Ra (These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur’an and none but Allah knows their meanings.) (This is) a Book, its ayat | signs, proofs, and verses are perfected, moreover, explained in detail from from Wise, Aware.”
The initial three letters, which are of Hebrew origin – Aleph, Lamed, Rosh – do not form a word. And while Aleph Lamed spells “god,” the Rosh would depict a man’s interpretation or view of god. And as you may recall from our analysis of ra’ah, ra’ (Aleph Ayin) is evil. Make of that what you will but recognize it is the opposite of “explained in detail.” Further, there is no verb before “book,” and no book for that matter, which is the antithesis of perfect. Unable to write, the un-god claims to be “from from wise aware” – which is true since Yahowah created him.
After lying to us, we hear…
Quran 011.002 “That not you worship but al-Laha. Lo, I am to you from Him a warner and a bashir | bearer of glad tidings.”
Quran 011.004-7 “To al-Lahi your return and He on every thing Powerful. No doubt, they fold up their breasts that they may hide from Him. Lo, even when they cover (themselves with) their garments, He knows what they hide and what they make public. Lo, He Knower of what the breasts.
And not any moving creature in the earth but on al-Lahi its provision. And He knows its dwelling place and its poop. All is in a clear Book.
He it the one who created the heavens and the earth in six days. And His throne was on the water, that He might try and test you. Which of you best deed. But if you say lo, you resurrected from after 586the death, surely would say those who disbelieved, ‘This is nothing but magic and obvious sorcery.’”
Lo, the folded breast the Knower sees, even within a burka. Allah feeds every creepy crawly and then watches where they poop – and that is obviously important to know because it was written by the Pen eons ago. And yet with Isaiah explaining Satan’s preoccupation with his throne, we know who wants to punish the little poopers…
Quran 011.008-10 “And if We delay the punishment from them till a time determined, verily they will say, ‘What keeps it back?’ Lo, no doubt! The Day it reaches them, not averted from them, and will surround them what they used to mock.
And if we make man taste some mercy from Us, then We withdraw it from him, lo, he is despairing and despondent, thankless and ungrateful. But if We give him a taste (of) favor after adversity touched him, lo, verily, he will say, ‘Al-Sayiatu | the evils have departed from me.’ Lo, he (is) exulting and boasting.”
The psychological term for this is the Stockholm Syndrome. It is used by the maniacal to cause captives to bond with them. A brief cessation of torture is presented as merciful, and over time, the victim sides with the perpetrator to avoid pain. But the real reason for the 1,400-year delay in the Day of Doom is that Satan has no influence over it. And as we can tell, even within the first ten years of these recitals, the threat was getting old.
Quran 011.012 “Then possibly, you may haply omit some of what has been revealed to you, and your breast feels straitened for it because they say, ‘Why was no treasure sent down to him, or an angel accompanying him?’ But you are only a warner. And al-Lahu is Wakil | Warden over everything.”
That’s quite a confession. Al-Lahu is overtly stating that Muhammad happily omitted portions of the Quran. This proves that it was neither a book nor a perfect reflection of something written long ago. And this means that when the un-god claims otherwise, he is lying.
587Since Yahowah enriched only two men monetarily, and most serve for enrichment of another kind, why all the fuss over a lack of treasure – unless Muhammad was being compared to David or Solomon? Although considering the setting, the non-prophet’s contemporaries may have wanted to know why the gods who had made them relatively rich by tending to the Ka’aba would leave the chief “warner” poor. And since the 11th surah was from the late Petra period, the seventy-fifth in order of revelation, Muhammad had yet to expand his resumé to terrorist and warlord. With stolen wealth, he would be much bolder. But at this point, these revelations are so demeaning to Muhammad that they demonstrate that he wasn’t actually speaking for himself but was actually inspired by Satan.
The realization that Allah acknowledged there was no “angel” accompanying him was devastating because Muhammad claimed that the Quran was recited by Gabriel, while that was not true. Moreover, Muhammad was neither a prophet nor the messenger of his god, but simply a “warner.” And that would make the only viable warning to avoid Hell’s Wakil | Warden – al-Lahu.
The Quran is comprised of a raw and raging debate. Muhammad’s extended family and neighbors disputed his claims and mocked him, saying his religion was a forgery, a counterfeit, even demonic. It was as obvious to them as it is to us.
Quran 011.013 “Or they say, ‘He has forged it.’ Say: ‘Then bring ten forged surahs like it, and call upon whom you can besides al-Lahi, if you are truthful.’”
After telling us that Muhammad couldn’t remember some surahs, that he had nothing to show for any of this, that he received no spiritual guidance, that he was no more relevant than the guy on the streetcorner condemning his neighbors, and that those who knew him best saw him as a sorcerer, we are told that the Quran is a forgery. And the only way to prove it otherwise is to invent something 588equally preposterous and poorly written. Doing so, however, will not demonstrate that the portions of the Quran Muhammad could remember are true, but that the person working independently of Allah is truthful.
Having watched trained cobras in India, I have seen snakes who are brighter than Allah. This is pathetic.
Muhammad’s contemporaries knew he was a demon-possessed fraud. And they weren’t the least bit shy about saying so.
So how do you think Muhammad answered this charge? The Quran is saying that this rubbish smells so sweet it can’t be garbage. “No one, short of the great Allah himself, is capable of such a wondrous forgery.” If that’s not delusional, Webster needs to redefine the word.
There were many who rose to the challenge, creating vastly superior prose. Such enlightened men and women were called poets. Oral recitals were the only means of communication because the Bedouins of Muhammad’s day were illiterate. And having read the opening chapter, you know how the non-prophet rewarded the poets who “brought chapters like it.” He assassinated them.
Quran 011.014 “Then if not they answer you, then know it was sent down with the knowledge of al-Lahi, and that no god but Him. Then would you (be) Muslim | those who submit?”
But they did answer him – constantly. This rebuke of the Quran and Muhammad, calling it plagiarized and a demonic forgery, is the single most repetitive rant throughout the first 100 surahs chronologically, repeated on average four times per surah. Therefore, based on Allah’s challenge, we can conclude that Allah is not God.
Al-Lahi tells those he has managed to fool with this perverted rant that they must become Muslims – those who submit and surrender. He had no interest in them agreeing or understanding, even believing. Islam is submission.
589So, what do you think the odds are that Yahowah, the God who politely asked Noach if he wanted to engage and work with him to build the Ark and save his family, is the same god who just ordered Muslims to submit after admitting that Muhammad was incompetent?
Quran 011.015-16 “Whoso is desirous this world’s life and its adornments, We will repay in full to them their deeds therein, and they in it will have no diminishment. Those the ones who not for them in the hereafter except the Fire. And gone in vain what they did therein, and worthless what they did.”
By contrast, Yahowah gave us this world and said that it was good, encouraging us to enjoy it and be productive. But Allah wants only to deprive and punish. There is nothing for you but Fire.
If you have heard a politician say, “Let me make this perfectly clear,” you know that his or her position is occluded. Allah uses the phrase “clear proof” in defense of Muhammad with great regularity. Yet he never provides any proof – clear or otherwise.
Quran 011.017 “Is he who is on a clear proof from his Lord and a witness from Him recites, and from before him was a Book of Musa, a guidance and a mercy. Those believe in it. But whoever disbelieves in it from the sects, then the Fire is a predestined place. So be not in doubt about it. Lo, it the truth from your Lord, but most of the people believe not.”
From coagulated clots of blood to cutting off hands and feet, from the first surah to the last, there is no proof that the Quran is anything more than a demented rant by a demonic spirit seeking to be worshiped as God through fear. It is the worst book ever written. And its reciter is among the most sadistic and sexually perverted of men – and a dunderhead to boot.
In a prior chapter, and again in this one, I shared two significant excerpts from the Towrah, one from Bare’syth and the other from Dabarym / Deuteronomy, to provide a 590contrast and to demonstrate the difference between Yahowah and Allah. One has to be ignorant and irrational to believe the Quran’s claim of a meaningful connection between Muhammad and Moseh, the Quran and Towrah.
Should a reader be this cerebrally challenged (noting that my editor will be impressed that I didn’t say ‘retarded’) to believe Allah is Yahowah and the Quran confirms the Towrah, please, before you strain a ciphering synapse and sue me for short-circuiting your brain, set the book down and walk away.
For being reasonable, Satan threatens to burn his critics alive – just as Muslims did in Israel on 10.7.23. In AllahWorld, those who speak the truth are “liars.” Those who should be appreciated for having the courage and compassion to save others from Islam are threatened with a double punishment in Hell. Then, spinning reality on its head, in defense of these demonic diatribes, the Devil and his Advocate accuse their accusers of being satanic.
Quran 011.018-22 “And who does more injustice than he who invents a lie against al-Lahi? Such will be brought before Rabbihim | their Lord, and the witnesses will say, ‘These those who lied against their Lord. No doubt, curse of al-Lahi is on al-Zalimun | cruel and oppressive polytheists and wrong-doers.
Those who obstruct from al-Lahi way and seek it crookedness while they disbelievers in the hereafter. Those not will be (able to) escape in the earth, and not is for them besides al-Lahi any protectors. Their torment and punishment will be doubled for them. They could not able to hear and they used not to see.
Those the ones who lost their souls and lost from them what they invented, having vanished, leaving them in the lurch. No doubt that they in the hereafter, they the greatest losers.”
The non-prophet and un-god who created this forgery, one that has damned billions of souls and caused unparalleled suffering and death, have the audacity to call those with the wisdom and fortitude to testify against them, “unjustified liars.” The cruelest and most oppressive of 591religions calls those opposed to these things al-Zalimun. It is a preemptive strike by evil against good. In the realm of religion, truth is a lie and lies are true – winners are losers.
It needs to be said again. Ba’al | Lord is Satan’s title because he wants to impose himself, lording over, possessing and owning the souls of humankind. But you do not have to take my word on this because in Howsha’ / Hosea 2:13 through 2:17, Yahowah speaking to his own religiously wayward people, revealed…
“‘Therefore (wa), these days associated with (‘eth yowmym – for the times correlated with) the Lords (ha Ba’alym – the false gods) I will record and then hold them against her, holding her accountable (paqad ‘al hy’ – I will take an inventory, recording and assigning responsibility for them against her).
In association with them (‘asher la hem), she burned incense and offered a smokescreen (qatar). She adorned herself (wa ‘adah – glorified herself, artificially attributing status to herself through her apparel and adornments) with her ornamental rings (nezem hy’ – circles worn on her ears, nose, and fingers) and adversarial jewelry (wa chelyah – forbidden ornamentations and sickening attire).
Then she went after (wa hy’ halak ‘achar) her objects of desire, her preferences which she loves, and that which she has romanticized (‘achab hy’– her preferences, illicit relationships, and that which is similar to her). And she forgot about Me (wa ‘eth ‘any shakah – so then she overlooked and ignored Me, becoming oblivious with regard to Me),’ prophetically declares (na’um – announces in advance of it happening), Yahowah (YaHoWaH).” (Howsha’ / Salvation / Hosea 2:13)
Yahowah is not “the Lord.” The “Lord” is not God. Our Heavenly Father does not want us to refer to Him as “the Lord,” ever! He does not want to lord over us or for us to bow before Him. Yahowah is not our master. He does 592not want to own us, possess us, or control us. These are Satan’s ambitions and those of men.
The overwhelming preponderance of people are antagonizing Yahowah by referring to “the Lord”…
“‘And it shall be in that day (wa hayah ba ha yowm ha huw’),’ prophetically declares (na’um), Yahowah (YaHoWaH – an accurate presentation of the name of ‘elowah – God as guided by His towrah – instructions regarding His hayah – existence), ‘you shall refer to Me (qara’ – you shall invite and summon Me, meet and welcome Me) as “the One who is present for me (‘ysh ‘any – as my individual soulmate, my companion, a personal entity for me, even as my husband and person; from an unused root meaning to be extant).”
And you shall not call Me (wa lo’ qara’ la ‘any – then you will not summon or invite Me, approach and meet or greet Me, read or recite something about Me, proclaim or announce anything regarding Me as) “my Lord (Ba’al ‘any – my owner or master, my ruler or possessor)” ever again (‘owd – no more).’” (Howsha’ / Hosea 2:16)
Never again refer to God as “the Lord.” If you hear someone do it, correct them.
“‘I will remove and reject (wa suwr – I will eliminate) the names (‘eth shem – the personal designations, monikers, renown, and reputations) of the Lords (ha Ba’alym – the false gods to which people submit and are controlled, the lords, masters, and possessors) out of her mouth (min peh hy’ – from her speech) so that they are no longer remembered or mentioned (wa lo’ zakar – no longer brought to mind or mentioned) ever again (‘owd – no more, no longer, or subsequently) by those names (shem hem – by that name, designation, moniker, renown, or reputation).’” (Howsha’ / Salvation / Hosea 2:17)
593Case closed. God does not want to be called “Lord” so we should not do so. Therefore, when Allah says that he is their Rabbi | Lord, he is confessing that he is not God.
While we are on the subject of false gods acting like fearsome Lords to frighten the religious into compliance, in Yasha’yah / Isaiah 29:13, Yahowah, who just so happens to be God, revealed through an actual prophet…
“Then Yahowah said, ‘Forasmuch as these people approach Me with their mouths, and with their lip service, they have removed their hearts and minds from Me. Their fear (yare’) toward Me exists because it is taught out of (lamad – learned, studied, and acquired through the instruction derived from) manmade traditions (‘iysh mitswah – manmade conditions, human edicts and terms) learned by rote.” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 29:13)
The rational debate between Yahowah and Allah ends with these declarations. But the Quran has never been about evidence or reason.
Therefore, the only individuals who will be brought before their Lord will be overtly religious – and this meeting will occur in She’owl. That is the curse of Allah.
Pursuant to the previous statement, Allah was the karuwb in ‘Eden who slithered out of the Garden as a Snake and then into the desert. His ways are serpentine, circuitous, and crooked. It is Yahowah’s path which is on the level and straightforward. And it is the religious who have sought to obstruct it. Therefore, in these statements, Allah is attempting to invert reality.
However, since Islam’s un-god is incapable of proving his existence or of validating his claims, his only defense is fear. Allah claims that there is no place to hide from his torments. Moreover, he is claiming that no one can be protected from him. He is, therefore, calling Yahowah and Dowd impotent. Should you be among the fortunate who 594survive to witness the fulfillment of Yowm Kipurym | the Day of Reconciliations, you’ll get to see firsthand how well this boast plays out for the Adversary.
Stealing terminology, names, and stories from God and then twisting them does not transform a Snake such that he becomes God.
Quran 011.023-24 “Lo, those who believe and do things good, and are submissive before their Lord, they (are the) companions of al-Janati | the Garden of Paradise. They in it dwell forever.
The likeness of the two parties (is) as the blind and the deaf and the seer and the hearer. Are they equal (in) comparison. Then will you not mind?”
Al-Janati is apparently the realm of al-Jin in that the names are indistinguishable in the paleo-Arabic text. And this is why only submissives are allowed entry. And while Allah’s comparison is common to the Quran, it hasn’t earned its way into the lexicon because it’s dimwitted.
Yahowah has no interest in anyone “believing.” With God, we either know or we do not know. As God, He recognizes that there are two ways He can demonstrate His existence and validate His testimony. He can do as He did on behalf of the Children of Yisra’el when liberating them from slavery in Mitsraym | the Crucibles of Religious and Political Oppression, which was to use miracles along with a personal appearance, addressing His children in His own voice. Or He can do as He has since that time, using prophecy to validate the authenticity of His witness.
Allah is not capable of either – so all he can do is threaten those who do not believe his lies. That is why he is constantly protesting without validation.
Yahowah realized that embedding prophecy within His witness to humanity was vastly superior to personal appearances, a booming voice, and supernatural exploits. Proof of this appears in the pages of the Towrah where the Children of Yisra’el, in the demonstrable presence of God, 595remained religious and irascible, taunting the Almighty. That is the lesson of the Golden Calf and the Waters of Marybah | Contention. It is the reason that Yahowah said that He would avoid addressing mankind in a manner that is undeniable – preferring instead to communicate through words that serve as proof.
As a result, when we consider the evidence Yahowah has provided, we can all know. When we think about what He revealed, we can all understand. And knowing and understanding are infinitely superior to believing and faith. Not only does God’s approach eliminate the need to believe, faith has no value.
Yahowah’s preference is for us to come to know and trust Him such that we are right regarding what He is offering and expecting in return. He does not ask us to be “good.” Further, as our Father, His hope is that we fall in love with Him, and come to respect Him, but not “submit before their Lord.” This is what Satan desires.
The Snake, and sadly the two people who were beguiled by him, were exiled from the Garden of Eden. They will not return. They chose to misappropriate and misstate Yahowah’s testimony, albeit not to the extent found in the Quran, and for doing so they were banished. They will not be invited back. But you and I are, having received an invitation from Yahowah to return on Sukah | Camping Out – ten years to the day that Muslims tried to annihilate God’s people – October 7th, 2033.
The effects of Satan’s adversarial influence will rise appreciably over the next decade as we witness the troubling time of Israel’s anguish. Those who have become blind and deaf to the word of God, those who prefer the words of Paul, Akiba, and Muhammad, will be wiped away to allow the observant to join our Father in the Garden.
This known, there are not “two parties” but, instead, three. The unaware will cease to exist without penalty or 596reward. Those who know and understand who Yahowah is, and what He is offering and expects in return, will inherit all God has to offer. It is only those who have either led people astray and away from Yahowah or who have abused His people who will endure She’owl.
This was a lot of material to cover prior to considering Allah’s recasting of Noach | Noah as a Muslim and repositioning the conditions that precipitated the flood. But I thought it was necessary because, not only is the Quranic variation invalid, it is a crude forgery. The un-god is guilty of the very thing he has falsely projected upon his critics.
As we begin, from Yahowah’s testimony we found that God chose Noach because he stood apart from the Naphylym | the fallen religious Prostraters. Yahowah did not send Noach to them. He did not ask His Trustworthy Guide to warn them. There was no mention of Allah or even of a punishment. The Naphylym were rife with believers, so the problem was not “disbelievers.” Moreover, there was no interaction between them – which is a lesson for us today. However, in Allah’s forgery, Noah was recast as Muhammad and 4,500 years ago as if 7th-century Arabia…
Quran 011.025-27 “And, lo, verily, We sent Nuh to his people. ‘Lo, verily, I am to you a plain warner that not worship but al-Laha. Lo, verily, I fear for you the punishment of a painful day.’
The chiefs of his folk who disbelieved, said, ‘We see you not but a man like us, and see that none of us follow you except the meanest among us and they followed you immaturely. And we do not see in you any merit over us. Nay, we deem you liars.’”
If we were to substitute speakers, Muhammad for Noah, we could dispense with the core of the early surahs and replace them with this bogus bill.
So, when the Towrah scrolls, scribed a thousand years before the Quran was written and preserved in ceramic jars hidden in caverns in the bluffs above the Dead Sea, were discovered in the 1950s and then revealed to the world and 597compared to the Masoretic Text in the 1990s, proving that Yahowah’s version of events, not Allah’s was correct, why did Islam persist?
Noach was provided the opportunity to build the Ark following Yahowah’s instructions to save his family and the animals living around him. Had he sought to warn the Naphylym, he would have defeated God’s purpose.
Yahowah has never wanted to be worshiped. Further, He has not prevented the worship of false gods like Allah or those being venerated 4,400 years ago – freewill and all.
The ensuing flood was not a punishment but, instead, a means to cleanse the region of the likes of Muslims. The people had become toxic and deadly, making them incompatible with life.
Unlike the circumstances in KaabaVille, where Muhammad was rejected by all but the worst and most ignorant among his peers, it was Noach who rejected his contemporaries, not the other way around. In typical Quranic fashion, the truth has been inverted to serve the un-god’s agenda – and it is transparent.
Noach came with nothing other than a willingness to listen to Yahowah and the will to act upon God’s instructions. He did not provide a “proof” from his Lord. Instead, he demonstrated that our inclusion in the Covenant is the result of listening to Yah and responding rationally.
Islam’s counterfeit Noah had these incredulous dabarym | words shoved in his mouth…
Quran 011.028-29 “He said: ‘O my people, do you see if I was on clear proof from Rabbi | my Lord, while He has given me mercy from Him, but obscure from you. Should We compel you (to accept) it when you (are) averse laha | to her?
And O my people, I ask of you no wealth for it. Not my reward except from al-Lahi. And not I am not going to drive away those 598who believed. Lo, they (will) be meeting their Lord. But I see you (are) a folk ignorant.’”
All Lords are false gods, rabbis included. Neither Snakes nor Lords are merciful. And there was no Preacher Man Nuh. Although, since it would be consistent with Yahowah’s style, we should expect a man to judge the Snake for saying these things – dispatching Satan / Allah to She’owl. So do you suppose he will remain arrogant to the bitter end?
According to Yahowah, the primary reason He approached Noach was that he had disassociated from all other people. He was serving as a harbinger of the initial requirement of the Beryth | Covenant, that we do as ‘Abraham has done, and walk away from our country.
Unable to provide proof of presence, miracles, or prophecy, all Allah could do was repeat the same lie. It is as if Satan was convinced that the bigger the lie, the more often it is repeated, the more people will be bamboozled by it. And should you consider several billion a goodly number, he finally got something right – his derogatory assessment of Muslims.
Yahowah does not compel. It would defeat the purpose of a loving family and of freewill.
Muhammad complained about not being paid so often that his overt lust for money led directly to the Pagan Indulgence and Satanic Verses. During that episode, the non-prophet traded his credibility as a monotheist for treasure by officially recognizing the Petra pantheon of pagan goddesses – al-Lat, Manat, and al-Uzza. By contrast, among Yahowah’s prophets and witnesses, there is never a mention of money.
Moreover, there were only eight people aboard the Ark: Noach, his wife, his three sons, and their wives. There was no following and no one to send away. But this is what happened to Muhammad in Petra after the Satanic 599Admission and Donk-Mule ride when he was laughed out of town.
Quran 011.030-32 “And O my people, who will save me from al-Lahi if I thrust them away? Will you not then mind?
And I do not say to you that with me (are the) treasures (of) al-Lahi, and not I know the unseen. Nor do I say that I am an angel. And not I say of those whom your eyes look down upon that al-Lahu will never bestow any good on them. Al-Lahu knows best what (is) in their inner-selves. Then, lo, I will surely be one of the al-Zalimun | cruel and oppressive polytheists.’
They said, ‘O Nuh, lo, verily, you have disputed with us and you have frequently prolonged the dispute with us. So now bring upon us what you threaten us with, if you are of the truthful.’”
Noach was actively engaged in saving himself and his family by engaging in accordance with Yahowah’s instructions. There was no one to thrust away in Noach’s case because it was he and his family who had walked away. They were alone with the animals.
An extension on life was the treasure Noach was offered. It was worth the effort.
Since Nuh | Noah is being cast in the role of Muhammad, it is telling that he had nothing to show for his effort as the Messenger of God and the recipient of the recitals. What’s the point if nothing of value has been conveyed? Why bother if he possessed no knowledge beyond what was already known to others in the community? This affirms that the Quran has been a colossal waste of time.
No one then or now would have thought Noach to be a mal’ak / spiritual messenger, or “angel.” If he had been, he could not have had sons, and the Ark would have been superfluous because he would have been able to fly away. And should Muhammad, excuse me, Nuh, meant to say that there were no mal’ak supporting him, then it would be a confession that he was not working in association with 600God. Should this point be lost on you, please read the 91st Mizmowr | Psalm. It is presented for your edification in volume one of An Introduction to God, volume eight of Yada Yahowah, and also in the opening book of Observations. Simply stated – Yahowah protects those who work with Him by deploying mal’ak. They are the reason I have survived the past 22 years.
As for Nuh’s, well, actually Muhammad’s, dire assessment of his fledging followers, the reason that he did not know their fate is that there has been no standard to apply other than to obey Muhammad and surrender to Allah. Whereas with Yahowah, everyone knows exactly where they stand. There are five conditions of the Beryth | Covenant. Acceptance provides certainty. There are seven Miqra’ey | Invitations. Informed attendance delivers certifiable results.
The Never-Ending Argument occurred in Petra between Muhammad and those who knew him better than anyone today. And last time I checked, Noach wasn’t threatening anyone with anything. Nor was the Trustworthy Guide capable of making it rain.
May I remind readers that the first mention of Allah was on a stone found in Petra, where the Islamic un-god was listed among others worshiped by the Nabataeans three thousand years after the deluge.
Quran 011.033-35 “He said, ‘Only al-Lahu will bring it on you if He wants, and not you one who (can) escape.
And my advice will not profit you, even if I wish to give you advice, if al-Lahu’s will (is) to keep you astray. He (is) your Lord! And to Him you will return.’
Or they say, ‘He has fabricated and forged it.’ Say, ‘If I have fabricated or forged it, upon me be my crime and guilt.’ But I am clear of those crimes you commit.’”
601Muhammad and Allah missed the point. Yahowah was displeased, agonizing the result of humankind becoming religious. He took no pleasure in the deluge.
Although it is true, unlike Yahowah’s eternal and restoring testimony, Muhammad’s is of no value. And unlike the Towrah, which guides the misled back home, Allah’s goal is to keep them misled. As for condemning this imaginary group of people of forging the Quran, that’s among the dumbest accusations yet. If this were really God speaking, one would think he’d be a little less transparent with his agenda. Recasting Nuh this blatantly, this crassly, as Muhammad, would only fool a fool.
Next, the Quran reveals the problem of predestination:
Quran 011.036 “It was revealed to Nuh that will never believe from your people except who have already believed. So be not distressed because of what they used to do.’”
Should one buy into the Quran’s revisionist Nuh, he was just told that he should not be distressed over the fate of his people, which as disbelievers would be eternal searing in Allah’s ovens. This lack of empathy is common among narcissists and psychopaths.
After reprising the Never-Ending Argument, and pushing it back in time, let’s get on with building the Ark, albeit without instructions…
Quran 011.037 “Build the ship under Our eyes with Our inspiration, and do not address Me concerning those who wronged. Lo, they (to be) drowned.”
Why did “Our” become “Me” when addressing drowning? Why have we endured this harsh dialog from Nuh if Allah didn’t want these people warned? Why does the All-Knower no longer want to know? Better question yet: why is the un-god of Islam such a defeatist – constantly admitting that almost everyone rejects his signs?
602The answer is obvious to all but the oblivious. Allah is a Snake, not God, Muhammad wasn’t competent, much less a prophet, and the Quran remains the worst book ever recited. Islam’s appeal was limited to the worst among us – ignorant and immoral, illiterate and irrational, covetous and money-grubbing rapists and slavers, murderous thieves among 7th-century Arabs. Once these terrorists were sufficiently armed and incentivized, they would compel capitulation. That is Islam.
But before we reach this point a decade hence, there was the childish and nasty War of Words followed by Promises of Punishment...
Quran 011.038-39 “And he was building the ship and every time chiefs of his people passed by him, they ridiculed him. He said, ‘If you mock us, then we can deride you as you ridicule. And soon you will know whom will come a punishment that will disgrace him, and will descend upon him an everlasting punishment.’”
Muhammad hated being scoffed at, but realistically, he left his audience with no other responsible option. So, while we’re on the subject of ridiculing the ridiculers, let’s review the most deafening of the four hundred variations of this theme in the Quran. The longest of these appears at the beginning of the first recital in Yathrib – Al-Baqarah | The Cow. It came immediately after, and was in response to the Quraysh Renunciations prompting the Slaughtering Retort leading to the Pagan Indulgence, justified by the Satanic Endorsement, necessitating the Flying Donk-Mule Ride, requiring the Shameful Exodus, leading to this…
Quran 002.001-5 “Alif Lam Mim That the Book! No doubt in it. A guidance for the God-Conscious who believe in the unseen, constant in prostration prayer, and always spending from what We provided them. And who believe in what (is) sent down to you and what was sent down before you, and are firm believers in the hereafter. Those on guidance from their Lord are the successful.”
After twelve years of recitals and playing prophet, with some 90 surahs having failed to engender belief, there 603were less than 20 Muslims being lied to on this day. There was no book and the guidance had been reprehensible. Belief would be in the unseen because there had been no credible evidence. All the while, the Lord demanded capitulation through prostrations, disgorging of money to his cause – jihad – which he would soon demand. And since his threatened Day of Doom was essential to his battle against God, Muslims must believe that flesh will be tantalized by pedophilia and tormented in furnaces while believing that this same horrendous message had been revealed before.
But since too few people were sufficiently ignorant and irrational, indeed, gullible, it had not gone well. So now, al-Lahu would cast aspersions against his slaves, such that they would have to compete to prove their loyalty.
Quran 002.006-13 “Lo! Verily, those who disbelieve, is same to them whether you warn them or not, they will not believe. Al-Lahu has set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing and on their vision a veil. And for them a great punishment. And of the people who say, “We believe in il-Lahi and in the Last Day, they are not believers. They seek to deceive al-Laha and those who believed and not they deceive except themselves and they know not. In their hearts a disease. So al-Lahu has increased their disease. And for them a painful punishment because they used to lie.
And when it is said to them, do not spread corruption in the earth, they say, ‘We are only reformers.’ Beware, lo, verily, they, themselves, are the ones who spread corruption but they know not.
And when it is said to them, ‘Believe as the people believed,’ they say, ‘Should we believe as the fools believed?’ Beware, lo, verily, they, themselves are the fools, but they know not.”
Cognizant that these are the Lord’s first words out of the initial recital of the Islamic Era, following all of the embarrassing failures in KaabaVille, the first Muslims were a house divided. These disbelievers were all former Muslims. Al-Lahu said he sealed their hearts and ears, veiling their eyes, but would nonetheless punish them 604severely, even if they professed allegiance. And that is because, having noted the complete failure of Islam in Petra, with the move to Yathrib, they were reformers. But no matter how absurd it is to believe the Quran or worship Satan as if he were God, Islam cannot be reformed. It was all sent down to inspire the most ignorant and immoral to exterminate humankind and that would continue unabated until the Day of Doom. Therefore, the least foolish of the foolish were called foolish by the most foolish.
Now, the War of Words is waged between al-Lahu and the biggest threat to him – renegade slaves.
Quran 002.014-20 “And when they meet those who believed they say, ‘We believed.’ But when they are alone with shayatin | their evil ones, they say, ‘Lo, we (are) with you. We were only joking and mocking.’ Al-Lahu mocks at them, turning the joke against them, and prolongs them in their transgression. They wander blindly.
Those, the ones who bought astraying for the guidance, so not profited their commerce and they were not guided. Their example (is) like example of the one who kindled a fire then when it illuminated what (was) around him, al-Lahu took away their light and left them in darknesses not they see. Deaf, dumb, blind, so they not will not return.
Or like a rainstorm from the sky in it darknesses and thunder and lightning. They put their fingers in their ears from the thunderclaps (in) fear (of) death. And al-Lahu the One Who encompasses the disbelievers. The lightning almost snatches away their sight. Whenever it flashes for them, they walk in it and when it darkens on them, they stand. And if al-Lahu had willed, He would certainly have taken away their hearing and their sight. Lo! Verily, al-Laha on every thing All-Powerful.”
Satan was vulnerable. After nearly a hundred soul-crushing surahs claiming that he was God, no one believed him – not even those who confessed otherwise. And so, he would try a new approach. If words wouldn’t work, swords might. He would obliterate man. Seduction would give way 605to slaughter. Islam was resurrected. But we are now jumping ahead in the Lord’s story.
Returning to the 11th surah, these revisionist narratives remain as pathetic as they were transparent.
Quran 011.040 “Till when came Our command and the oven overflowed. We said, ‘Load in it of each kind a pair, two, and your family, except who has preceded against him the word and whoever believed.’ And not believed with him, except a few.”
According to Yahowah and science, the flood was initiated after a deep upwelling of seawater, which we now know was the result of an asteroid strike, leaving the Burckle Crater. But according to the un-god, the deluge overflowed the “oven.”
Yahowah instructed Noach to bring a male and female of every species into the Ark, which was reduced to “two” in the Quran. And according to Yah, there were 8 aboard the Ark, but with Allah, one son was AWOL at his discretion. There were also “believers,” even though “none believed with him, but a few.” And that is odd since Nuh admitted that he would be wrong if he determined who should go along for the ride.
Quran 011.041-43 “And he said, ‘Embark therein, in the name of al-Lahi its course and its anchorage. Lo, Rabbi | my Lord verily oft-forgiving, most merciful.’ (Tafsir Al-Tabari, Vol. 12, Page 43)
So it sailed with them on waves like mountains. And Nuh called out to his son. And he was in apart. ‘O my son. Embark with us and not be with the disbelievers.’
He said, ‘I will betake myself to a mountain (that) will save me from the water.’ He said, ‘No protector today from the Command of al-Lahi except whom He has mercy.’ And came in between them the waves, so he was among the drowned.”
Muslims must believe they embarked in the name of al-Lahi when that name wouldn’t be known for millennia. Moreover, the Rabbi who didn’t want anyone to believe so that he could roast them all, is merciful. Then for giggles, 606Nuh’s Ark had a course to navigate and an anchor – whatever for? Then, according to the translators of The Noble Quran, evidence that the “Lord is oft-forgiving of those he is drowning and will punish” is explained in volume 12 of Al-Tabari.
With the ship suddenly afloat, riding mountainous waves, Nuh invited his son aboard which seems incredulous. But the wayward child chose a mountain instead and was swept away. Then with nary a word for his departed son, it was time to afford the Earth and Sky anthropomorphic qualities. They were slaves, after all…
Quran 011.044 “And it was said, ‘O Earth, swallow up your water, and O Sky, withhold.’ And the water subsided, and was fulfilled the Command. And it rested on al-Judiyi. And it was said, ‘Away with al-Zalimina | the brutal, cruel, and inhuman, wrongful oppressors, and inequitable exploiters.’”
Oddly, there was no command given to the “oven.” Allah dispensed with every meaningful lesson Yahowah had offered and then forgot to deploy the “anchor.” But we know that upon crashing on “Judi,” there would be no more Muslims – the al-Zalimina | the brutal, cruel, and inhuman, wrongful oppressors, and inequitable exploiters were gone.
After the storm, Nuh and his Lord engaged in some snappy dialogue…
Quran 011.045-49 “And Nuh called to his Lord and said, ‘O Rabbi! Lo! My son of my family and verily, Your promise true. And You the most just of the judges.’
He said, ‘O Nuh! Lo! He not of your family. Verily, his deed other than righteous. So do not ask of Me what you not have of it any knowledge. Lo! I warn you, lest you be of the ignorant.’
He said, O Rabbi | my Lord! Lo! Verily, I seek refuge in You from asking You that of which I have no knowledge. And unless You forgive me and have mercy on me, I will be among the losers.’
It was said, ‘O Nuh! Come down with peace from Us and blessings on you and on the nations from those with you. But nations 607We will grant their pleasures, but then will touch and afflict them from Us painful punishment.’
This is from the news of the unseen We reveal to you. Not you were knowing it and not your people from before this. So be patient. Lo, the end (is) for al-Muttaqun | the God-Conscious and fearing.”
Quranic Nuh was distracted by the death of his son and then revels in remembrance that his Lord’s promise (to kill his son) was true. And killing the lad proved that the Rabbi was the most just of judges. So, rather than console his intrepid captain, the Rabbi says that Nuh’s son was not part of his family – which would be another miracle of the Quran. Then further grieving the despondent father, “Me” says that his dead child was an unrighteous loser for whom a painful punishment awaits. And to add insult to agony, the Lord warns the man who built the ship that he is so ignorant, he should not talk to him anymore. So, the man who surfed the mountainous waves turned to mush and apologized to the un-god who took the life of his non-son.
And then adding conflict to contradiction, after threatening Nuh, the Lord invites him to disembark in peace and with blessings. We are told that nations disembarked, drowning was a “pleasure,” and there would be a “painful torment in the end.” That is the news from the unknown.
Without a sensible transition, an imagined myth followed a stolen and twisted tale. It was all in an unpaid day’s work for the Messenger of Allah.
Quran 011.050-52 “To Ad their brother Hud. He said, ‘O my people, worship al-Laha! Not for you any ilahin | god other than Him. Not you but inventors. O my people I ask no reward for it. My reward is only from Him who created me. Have you then no sense? And O my people, beg your Lord to forgive and repent to Him. He will send the sky upon you in abundance, and add strength to your strength. So do not turn away as mujrim | guilty polytheists.’”
608The fictitious brother Hud was giving the mythical Ad the same speech. And that’s a problem because it was a regurgitated version of the Never-Ending Argument.
Nonetheless, the story of Nuh and his international supertanker continued by informing us that Ham made the boat and that he had a brother, Yam. Yam is the unnamed son mentioned in Quran 11:42. And then…
Tabari I:360 “The first animal to be put aboard was the ant, and the last the donkey. When Nuh brought the donkey in, Iblis (the Devil) attached himself to its tail, so that it could not lift its legs. Nuh started to say, ‘Woe to you. Go in.’ The donkey rose but was unable to move. Nuh said, ‘Woe to you. Go in even if Satan is with you.’
It was a slip of the tongue, but when Nuh said it, Satan let the donkey proceed. It went in, and Satan went in with it. Nuh said, ‘How did you get in here with me?’ Satan replied, ‘You cannot escape from having me on board.’ Satan stayed in the boat’s rear.”
The reason for the Satanic slip is because Muhammad’s most embarrassing moment, the Satanic Verses, was called a slip of the lip. He said that Satan put words in his mouth when he acknowledged Petra’s pagan idols in return for a bribe. This story was designed to drag O Nuh down to his level. Then, straight out of Muhammad’s warped mind, we learn…
Tabari I:360 “Nuh also carried along Adam’s corpse, making it a barrier between the women and men.”
Since they were married and from the same family, why? And since Adam died in 3094 BCE, and the flood commenced in 2370 BCE, there would not have been a corpse left. But let’s not let reality interrupt a bad story…
Tabari I:360 “They boarded the boat on the 10th of Rajab and they left on Ashura Day, therefore all people should fast on Ashura. Before the Flood, two sons were reportedly born to Nuh who both perished. One was called Canaan. He was drowned in the flood.”
Muhammad cleverly included the name of a pagan goddess and made her veneration seem religious. But for 609those who do not know, ‘Asherah was the Sumerian, Assyrian, and Phoenician Goddess celebrated as the Queen of Heaven and the Mother of God for whom Christians venerate as Mary, the mythical mother of the misnomer Jesus. Also known as Ishtar, she gave her name to Easter. She is denounced throughout the Prophets by Yahowah because she is associated with the Satanic influence of Ba’al | the Lord. In particular, ‘ElYah | Elijah won a lively debate against her prophets.
None the wiser, Muhammad enshrined the Fast of ‘Ashura on the 10th of Muharram, prescribing it upon Muslims long before Ramadan. And this is because Jews observed it, and he was already stealing their scriptures to fill out his Quran. This sordid tale is related by “Imam Bukhari on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas that when the Prophet came to Madinah he found the Jews observed the fast of ‘Ashura. He enquired about it from them and was told that it was the day on which God had delivered the Children of Israel from the enemy and Moses used to keep a fast on it as an expression of gratitude to the Almighty. The Prophet remarked that “Moses has a greater claim upon me than upon you,” and he fasted on that day and instructed his followers to do the same.” That was as invalid as it was pagan, making this the religion of Dumb and Dumber.
It is also mentioned in “Sahih Muslim that it is a most important day. On this day God had delivered Moses and his followers and drowned Pharaoh and his men. Moses fasted on it in thanksgiving. Imam Bukhari adds that it is related by Abu Bishr: “We also keep fast as a token of respect to Moses.”
Asherah is not mentioned in the Towrah but is, instead, condemned in the Prophets. As for the rest of Muhammad’s diatribe, Noach had three sons, not two, and neither of them predeceased their father. Their names were Ham, Shem, and Japheth. And as for Canaan, since it was the name of what became Yisra’el circa 2000 BCE, this suggests that he did not drown in 2400 BCE. But no one is accusing Muhammad of being smart.
610Consider Tabari I:360… “All the forefathers between Noah and Adam were in the state of Islam.”
Do you suppose the non-prophet got the order mixed up, placing Noah before Adam and the state of Islam before the State of Israel?
Tabari I:360 “The ark carried them around the entire Earth in six months. It did not come to rest anywhere until it came to the Sacred Territory of Mecca and Medina.” We should have guessed. “However, it did not enter the Sacred Territory but circled around for a week.” Circumnavigation must have preceded circumambulation.
“The House built by Adam was lifted up, so that it was not submerged – the inhabited House with the Black Stone.” Why not? We’ve come this far; what’s wrong with global navigation during a regional flood or with the journey ending in a Wadi in Arabia after going in circles?
Tabari I:361 “The oven with the water boiling that Allah made as sign between Himself and Nuh was the oven of stone that belonged to Eve… On Friday, the 10th of Rajab it took off. It passed the House, which had been lifted up by Allah so it would not be submerged. Nuh circumnavigated it seven times. It then went to Yemen and returned.” Ar-Rahman lived in Yemen with the Jews celebrating Asherah Day so Muhammad didn’t want to leave him out. And it was nice to see the oven was boiling the water for the flood, ensuring that it would be painful.
Tabari I:361 “The eras were: from the Flood to the Fire of Abraham, from the Fire of Abraham to the Mission of Joseph, from the Mission of Joseph to the Mission of Moses, from the Mission of Moses to the Reign of Solomon, from the Reign of Solomon to the Mission of Jesus, and from the Mission of Jesus, to when the Messenger of Allah was sent.”
All this time, I thought that the story began with creation and led to Adam in the Garden. And I wasn’t aware that ‘Abraham’s claim to fame was fire, but what do I know? I’ve only written two volumes about him based on what Yahowah reveals, so I’ll have to defer to Muhammad.
611In trying to clear things up, Joesph was sold into slavery – he did not have a mission. And what about the Covenant since it is the most discussed topic in Bare’syth / Genesis? There was no mention of the enslavement of the Children of Yisra’el, which I would have thought would have been an Islamic favorite, their liberation, or the revelation of the Towrah among the hallmarks of the eras. And are we to believe that Yahowah’s beloved, His Firstborn, the Messiah, King, and Savior, Dowd is of no account? Why mention Solomon when his reign ended so horribly in pagan religiosity – unless it is professional courtesy? Is there to be no mention of Yahuwdah or Yisra’el in Allah’s timeline? Why include Jesus when he never existed? Now, as for the sending of the Messenger of Allah, who can argue with that based upon all we have read?
