EXCERPTS
PROLEGOMENA TO THE SPACE EXILE OF THE JEWS excerpts are shown in indented plain text. My name is Dov Ivry. I'm from Saint John, N.B., Canada, now residing in Israel. This book is not recommended to Orthodox Jews or believing Christians and Muslims.
Things went off the rails 2,300 years ago when the Torah was translated into Greek at Alexandria, Egypt.
PAGE 37Did you ever wonder who invented that "god" that Americans refer to in their slogan "In god we trust?"
The guys who did it were a bunch of numskulls and as far as I can tell, they came up with it trying to make a fast buck.
Until they came along gods were regarded to be like us, sentient beings, meaning they all had names. It is certainly possible to elevate dumb animals who can't give themselves names to the level of deity and Ganesha the Elephant even to this day is big in India.
It is not possible for a god to exist for long without a name and the only reason this one seems to have done it is that the Americans simply haven't made inquiries. All gods have images and that's how you know who they are. The American god is Zervan, of Iranian manufacture. The motto should read "In Zervan we trust." And the British national anthem is in reality, "Zervan Save The Queen."
Why anyone playing with a full deck would put their trust in the decrepit Zervan or expect this bag of bones to be able to save the queen is a question future historians or even psychiatrists no doubt will address.
Historians try to dignify this translation by claiming it was requested by the Greek authorities or agreed to by the Jewish community authorities. And the moon is made of green cheese.
PAGE 40One Aristeas, long after the event, wrote a fictional history of the translation now called the Septuagint claiming that the initiative came from Philadelphus's courtiers. There is not much fact in that. The most plausible explanation was that the Jews lived according to their own laws and the Greek rulers wanted to know what the laws were. The question any theory has to address is who paid for it? That translation was a full-time job for a fair period of time for a number of people. The government is not going to pay for a pig in a poke and on the other side responsible leaders of an organized community would not break a hard taboo even under threat of death. Finally, if either official Alexandria or the official Jewish community had commissioned the translation, they would have hired competent translators not just some half literate bums hanging around a street corner.
George Sarton: "The early part of the Septuagint, the Torah or Pentateuch, is written in a very poor Judeo-Greek; according to specialists that dialect is Egyptian rather than Palestinian. I have read only Genesis and was horrified by the language."
"How was this permitted to happen? For there were plenty of Greeks ... who knew their language perfectly and whose collaboration might have been easily drafted by the Court or the Museum."
Friedrich Nietzsche: "It was subtle of god to learn Greek when he wished to become an author -- and not to learn it better."
Where did Zervan come from? We have to go back to the Library and Museum where the first director, Demetrius of Phaleron, faced a difficult problem.
PAGE 42Moses Gaster: "We must remember that when Demetrius of Phaleron tried to collect the books for the Alexandrian Library he was faced with a very great literary problem.
"In their endeavor to show that they possessed books on every subject and of high antiquity, the Greeks had not hesitated to affix ancient and great names to a large number of forged writings: it was their vanity which created the whole pseudepigraphic literature.
"The problem which beset the librarian was to separate the true from the false, and he was therefore the first to introduce to idea of a canon, a ruler, a standard by which to measure these spurious writings. Those who came up to the standard became the canon or canonical, while the others were relegated to a second place as pseudepigraphic or spurious."
Monkey see, monkey do. After a while the Jews decided they would make a canon out of their own rather large corpus of literature from those books which were regarded as "inspired." For many decades there were two opposing parties in Israel in rough balance, the Pharisees and the Sadducees. Except for the six-year Pharisee-Sadducee Civil War in which 100,000 were killed and the Sadducees won, the two parties managed to get along tolerably well. Then the Sadducees, who always formed the guts of the Jewish army, stood with Antigonus when Herod and his Roman legions arrived. The battle for Jerusalem was horrific, the Jews were outgunned, and the usurper Herod grabbed the throne. He then executed the entire Sadducee leadership and with his police state apparatus relentlessly hunted down the remainder for the next 30 years. The Sadducees never recovered and never held another leadership post in Israel. The responsibility for finishing the canon fell to the Pharisees and they produced what is known in Israel as the Tanakh and outside Israel as the "Old Testament."
Here's the rub. The Pharisees flogged a gimmick known as the "world to come," which the people already had rejected once while toiling at the foot of the pyramids, the very symbol of the gimmick.
PAGE 43They were claiming to be the great fount of wisdom on interpreting the law from the Torah and that was the source of their authority. At the same time they were investing that authority in certifying the existence of an afterlife. The problem for them was that there is no reference in the Torah or the rest of the Tanakh to an afterlife. The Pharisees decided that the Tanakh could not be complete without a book in support of said afterlife. To achieve this they canonized a book as bogus as a three-dollar bill; it was basically Pharisee party propaganda. That's the Book of Daniel.
Max L. Margolis: "The one book ... which was after the heart of the Pharisee was Daniel; there the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead, which constituted one of the points which Pharisees and Sadducees divided, was enunciated. ... It was the first manifesto of the nascent party whose rise to power was gradual, coming after repeated struggles in which they were often worsted."
E. O. James: "Only in one place in the Hebrew canonical scriptures, in fact, is the belief in eternal life and retribution in the afterlife affirmed -- Daniel."
This book Daniel is where Zervan comes from. The Torah sanctions no images of the Supreme Being. But there are what are called anthropomorphic metaphors in the Tanakh and they deliver a consistent picture of the Supreme Being as the young warrior. If a foreigner not subject to restrictions on making images wanted to render this anthropomorphic metaphor into a portrait, he would paint Rambo.
Appropriate to its status as a phoney book Daniel served up a picture of a phoney god, the old man in the sky, the "ancient of days."
*** Geo Widengren: "The head of days is under all circumstances thought of as old. ... This description agrees with what is already in Daniel, Chapter 7."
"This conception of the deity conflicts with the Old Testament picture of ... the mighty warrior."
"It is obviously Zervan himself, whose name etymologically means 'old age.'"
"Zervan ... is a non-Zoroastrian deity, found among the Iranians of the west."
A few hundred years later the Greek philosopher Porphyry, employing the same textual analysis techniques employed by Demetrius of Phaleron, exposed Daniel as the fraud it was. The Byzantine authorities burned all of Porphyry's books but he remains the recognized authority. From the Hebrew side the litmus test is much simpler. Angels do not reveal their names. An "angel" appears in Daniel giving his name. The writers of this book were con artists.
The Torah had existed for more than 1,200 years without being translated. Had a large number of Jews not gone off to Alexandria it never would have been, until this day. It's possible that the Torah can't be translated. You run into trouble right at the second word, "Elohim," meaning the Supreme Being. The numskulls translated that as "God." Since any half-wit can do better than they did, I took my shot at it.
PAGE 45The second and third words of the text of Genesis are "Elohim bara." Elohim represents the Supreme Being; "bara" means created.
The problem is this. "Elohim" is a plural noun. The verb accompanying it, "bara," is singular masculine. In the Hebrew idiom "Elohim" is understood to have the effect of a masculine singular noun and superficial examination of the context would seem to confirm this. But the specific word for "God," masculine singular, is "El." If "El" were wanted in the opening sentence, it would have been used. "Elohim" means literally, we assume, "Gods," masculine plural, but even this is not certain because the word is put opposite a verb with which it does not agree. There are no limits to disagreements. The word can just as well be translated literally as "Goddesses," since a masculine plural ending does not necessarily communicate masculine gender. "Nashim" meaning "women" takes a nominal masculine plural ending and, conversely, "avot" meaning fathers takes a nominal feminine plural ending. The numskulls followed the path of least resistance and rendered the phrase "Elohim bara" as "God created." But in changing the noun "Elohim" to the singular "El" to agree with the verb, the translators redacted the text.
Normal practice in handling language is not to change nouns to agree with verbs, but to change verbs to agree with nouns. Let's stop and examine normal practice. I give you the sentence: "The boy run to the store." What do you correct, the noun or the verb? Or again, "The dogs chases after him." It is the verb that is automatically corrected, unless there is actual evidence that the mistake has been made in the noun. Everyone on board?
Now I can't give you what the literal translation of "Elohim bara" should be in English past tense because the past tense verbs in English are all the same. So for the sake of demonstration let's put the phrase into the present tense. The direct translation would be "Gods creates" or "Goddesses creates." And that kind of jarring construction would have to be followed all the way through the Pentateuch. Yet the resulting translation would be "accurate."
The key to deciphering the message in "Elohim bara" is to obtain agreement in number between the noun and the verb.
1. We start with the following elements.
Plural noun of indeterminate gender = singular, masculine verb.
2. To achieve agreement as required by the syntax of the receiving language, we start by making the verb agree in number with the noun, normal practice.
Plural noun of indeterminate gender = plural, masculine verb.
3. Since we know from the context of the book, monotheism, that the noun has the force of singular, we negate the equation without changing the noun.
Not (plural noun of indeterminate gender) = Not (plural, masculine verb).
4. At this point the noun has not been changed, merely negated, and the verb number has been negated back to its original status.
The breakdown gives us three knowns and an unknown.
Not plural noun = not plural verb.
Not indeterminate gender noun = not masculine verb.
5. Since the noun and verb now agree in number and since the gender is now "not indeterminate" but equal to "not masculine," we can decode it into the receiving language. "Not plural" is deemed to be singular and "not masculine" is deemed to be feminine. Agreement is achieved.
Singular, feminine noun = singular, feminine verb.
The translation of "Elohim bara" in any foreign language is "Goddess created."
With this you attain the same situation in metaphysics as you have in physics, complementarity, the Supreme Being in feminine gender outside Israel and masculine gender inside Israel. It's no different than light being a wave and a particle at the same time. There are two truths instead of one.
That being the case since this is a foreign language I always refer to the Supreme Being as "Goddess."
The Shi'ites in their holy books say "the Jews killed Muhammad." They exaggerate; it took just one woman acting alone. Muhammad went with 14,000 warriors against the Jewish fortress of Khaibar. The battle lasted two months. At one point the Jewish champion, the giant Marhab, fell in single combat to Ali. At the end his sister Zainab was captured and Muhammad made plans to rape her.
PAGE 159Heinrich Graetz: "This courageous woman bethought herself of an artifice, whereby she might avenge the murder of her co-religionists and relatives. She pretended to be friendly towards him, and prepared a repast for him. Muhammad unsuspectingly ate of a poisoned dish which she had set before him and his companions. One of them died from the effects. But Muhammad, who, not having found the dish to his taste, had scarcely tasted it, was saved alive, but suffered for a long time, and felt the effects of the poison to the hour of his death. Questioned as to the reason for her action, Zainab coolly replied, 'You have persecuted my people with untold afflictions; I therefore thought that if you were simply a warrior, I could procure rest for them through poison, but if you were really a prophet, God would warn you in time, and you would come to no harm.'"
"Muhammad thereupon ordered her to be put to death."
Day in and day out for three years the rapist groaned and moaned from excruciating pain as the poison slowly degraded his flesh into carrion. Zainab has not received the credit she deserves for taking out a major enemy of her people. Today she would be awarded a medal for that. The least I can do with my limited skills in verse is write a poem in her honor.

The hook for the book is that there is a fourth exile indicated in the Torah, this time in space. (Deut. 30.4). I wanted to see if I could guess the time. I did it too ways, once extrapolating off Velikovsky's ancient chronology and once playing with numbers. (When I identified 23 as the number of the male and 28 as the number of the female I didn't know that Wilhelm Fliess, close friend of Freud, had been there first.)
PAGE 207Calculating off Velikovsky's date for the Exodus I came in around 2098, as I said in Chapter 1. It's very simple. The Jews pay rent on their land in terms of Jubilees, complete rests for the land every 50 years. If they don't pay, which they never do, they are evicted, and have to work off the debt in exile with whips at their backs. I figured they came into statehood this time with three Jubilees in the bank, that's 150 years, which is 1948 + 150 = 2098.
Let's check the actual date. The common era year as I write is 2009. The corresponding Hebrew year is 5769
I took the speed of light in km per second 299,793. I divided by 51, that's the male 23 plus the female 28, and the answer is 5878.2941. That 5878 is the Hebrew year when school's out, 109 years hence. The 29 stands for the "inorganic intelligence." He's the terminator. The "inorganic intelligence" is personified as a serpent. In the Torah he is associated with copper. The number of copper on the periodic table is 29. That 41 is my birth year in the common era.
The upshot is that the Jews received a lease of 170 years in their land, not 150. The year in the common chronology is 2118.
Confirmation. The speed of light in miles per second is 186,284. The number of life is 17, which comes from 23 male + 28 female = 51, divided by three, because together these two always go to three, so 17. I now multiply 186,284 by 34 (life and life) and obtain 6,333,656. From that I subtract 624,730, the number of soldiers and priests who entered the Promised Land, for 57089 26. The 2 6 are my birth day and month. It gives instructions to regard this as two numbers and that three digits move two spaces. What you get is 5879 0 26. That is the year after doomsday.
What shows after 5879 is nothing. It seems to mean Israel took everyone else with them.
The message is signed. Take 57089 from 58790 and you have 170 1. That 170 is years and means, what you see, baby, is what you got. The One can only be the Goddess, signed, sealed, and delivered.
Is there a good side? If you want to see good, you have to play the card that represents all the good in the world, 666.
Add 666 to 2941 and you get 360 7. The message is: If you want to remain whole and in one piece, observe the Shabbat, rest for people and rest for the land as written.
If you are going to do this stuff you just can't project into the future because you are not going to be there to answer questions. You also have to project into the past.
A glance at the past. Subtract: 299,793 - 186,284 = 113,509 ÷ 2 = 5675 4.5. The first year 5675, Hebrew date, is the start of the WWI, relative to the Jews, that is, when Turkey entered the fray, and the 45 common era is the end of those world wars. If Turkey doesn't enter the first war, there is no Israel.
That dot means there is more to this. The 5 x 4 is pointing to 20. This now supplies an explanation as to why, if you go just by the Velikovsky chronology, it comes out that the Jews received 150 years new time in their land based on three jubilees in the bank and not 170 years. From 1918 to 2118 is four jubilees and the state came into being in 1948. However Israel did not possess its capital Jerusalem for 20 years so the regathering and restoration did not really start until 1968. If half of Jerusalem was still not liberated that wouldn't be a kosher restoration. The result -- three jubilees in the bank from 1968.
Gematria is what is it is and numbers are what they are, but just doing gematria on a subject in one language is not enough. I thought for this next subject certainly I should do them in two language. Were the "nephillim" mentioned as living in Hebron half-aliens?
PAGE 191There is a theory floating around that aliens from Sirius, the Dog Star, seeded civilization in Egypt. This was spun out due to information about Sirius apparently possessed by the Dogon of Mali, who it was claimed are descendants of the old Egyptians. An older name for Sirius was Sothis. This quirks out in English gematria. The three giants at Hebron were named Achiman, 49, Sheshai, 69, and Talmai, 56 = 174 = Dog, 26, Star, 58, Sothis, 90. I know nothing about Hebrew gematria. But the Internet gave me a list of letter values and I get this, literally painting by numbers. It quirks out on the Hebrew side too. Achiman, 759, Sheshai, 610, and Talmai, 480 = 1849 = Dog (kalev) 52, and Star (kokhav) 48, and Dogon, 719, and Mali (no aleph) 80, and Egypt (two yods), 950. I should quit while I'm ahead, but let's go on. The time for the Adam line on the far side of the Flood was 1656 years and if you subtract 1849 - 174, that produces 1675, which is distant 19 from that, and that 19 stands for both Adam and Anac, this latter being phonetic spelling of the Hebrew word for "giant," in an alien sort of way. Now if we guess that the species at that point was actually 4,320,000 years old (the universal estimate among the ancients, although they couldn't agree on the number of zeros), you take 1849, square it, for 3,418,801, leaving a difference of 901199. The 1199 is the DNA of Adam's and Anac's forebears mingled. The 90 would mark Sothis.
Calev and Yehoshua, that's Joshua, were the two spies out of 12 who didn't chicken out when they saw who they were up against in spying out the land. Calev is unique in that he was at that point the only Hebrew we are aware of, as far as I know and I could be wrong, who was accepted into the people whose male line did not originate with Avraham, that's Abraham, the father of the people. His name means "Dog" and in Egyptian culture that points to Sirius. I wanted to see if he may have been a real-life Mr. Spock.
PAGE 591Calev undoubtedly got his name honoring Sirius from his father and that must have been a tradition going back generations. Does that connect him with those giants in that area? Nothing connects with anything but further study is indicated. Calev assuredly got the original spying assignment because of his inside knowledge of the area. Because of his name you are free to speculate on why his family was anxious to keep the memory of Sirius alive.
In Chapter 7 I made a connection in numbers between Achiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the three named giants in Hebron, and Sirius and the Dogon of Mali. The question here is: Was Calev the original Mr. Spock? That would make Yehoshua Capt. Kirk. How's that for a team? If Calev and Yehoshua were a prototype Spock and Kirk in the service of the Supreme Being, that should show up in the numbers.
Mr. Spock, 95, and Kirk, 49, + 1 = 145 = Calev, 43, and Yehoshua, 102. It would mean that Calev, unlike Spock, was one huge guy. Calev, 43, + giant, 51 + 1 = 95 = Mr. Spock, 95.
This comes out in Hebrew in a slightly different way. I have to go to Yehoshua's original name, which was Hoshea, and again refer to Calev as a giant. Spock, 246, + Kirk, 410 = 656 = Calev, 52, + giant (anak), 220, + Hoshea, 384.
The subtitle to the book is Or: The Matriarchy/ Temple Nexus. That refers to the alternate future.
Talk all you want about the Third Temple but it can't be built until matriarchy starts taking root around the world again. Matriarchy means women own most of the property. The "property question" was established by Marx as the central question facing humanity so this just introduces a new ingredient into an old mix. Examples of former proto-matriarchies, none of them reaching full development, were Sparta, Egypt, the Iroquois, and parts of Arabia. At the first two temples enabling symbols of matriarchy were ensconced near to the Temple, the first time the daughter of pharaoh and the second time, a parliament borrowed from Sparta.
Matriarchies always produce fierce fighters and gorgeous women, and both develop above average in intelligence. Best examples of the women are Helen of Sparta and the Queen of Sheba. (Socrates refers to Crete below, but that falls under the heading of Egypt.)
PAGE 235 et alJ. J. Bachofen: "Matriarchy and warlike life were concomitant. Effect becomes cause and cause effect. The man's exclusion from all inheritance spurred him on to warlike undertakings."
*** SPARTA
Aphrodite: "Helen of Sparta ... is as beautiful as I am and no less passionate."
Will Durant: "In the general opinion of antiquity, the Spartan males were stronger and handsomer, their women healthier and lovelier, than other Greeks."
Socrates: "The most ancient and fertile homes of philosophy among the Greeks are Crete and Sparta, where there are more wise men than anywhere on earth. But they conceal their wisdom, and pretend to be blockheads, so that they may seem to be superior only because of their prowess in battle, rather than by virtue of their wisdom. Their idea is that if their real excellence became known, everyone else would work on becoming wise. ... In these states (Crete and Sparta) not only the men but also the women are proud of their intellectual development. This is how you may know that I am speaking the truth and that the Spartans are the best educated in philosophy and speaking: If you talk to any ordinary Spartan, he seems to be stupid, but eventually, like some expert marksman, he shoots in some brief remark that proves you to be only a child."
Robert Briffault: "The position of women in ... Sparta differed completely from their condition in other parts of Greece. They were, says Plutarch, 'the only women in Greece who ruled over their men.' ... They (the women) were commonly consulted on political questions; and not only could they inherit ... nearly all property in Sparta was, in fact, in their hands."
John Langdon-Davies: "It is certain that Spartan women had a say in politics and that their influence on conduct in general was omnipotent."
***
EGYPT
Cheikh Anta Diop: "The matriarchal system is the base of the social organization in Egypt and throughout black Africa. ... The matriarchal system ... is characterized by the collaboration and harmonious flowering of both sexes, and by a certain pre-eminence of woman in society ... but accepted and even defended by man."
W. Max Muller: "No people, ancient or modern, has given women so high a legal status as did the inhabitants of the Nile valley."
Gaston Maspéro: "The Egyptian woman of the lower and middle class was more respected, more independent than any other woman in the world. As a wife, she is the real mistress of the house, her husband being, so to speak, merely a privileged guest."
W. M. Flinders Petrie: "In Egypt all property went in the female line, the woman was mistress of the house; ... she is represented as having entire control of herself and the place. Even in late times the husband made over all his property and future earnings to his wife in his marriage settlement."
"The family in Egypt was based on a matriarchal system, the officeholder or farmer who married into a family was a secondary affair; the house and property went with the woman and daughters."
"In questions of descent the mother's name is always given, the father's name may be omitted; the ancestors are always traced farther back in the female than in the male line. The father was only a holder of office, the mother was the family link. Hereditary offices are sometimes traced through a succession of men, but we never meet with a line of solely male descent otherwise."
Robert Briffault: "The 'nomes' or ... clans, the association of which formed the Egyptian nation, were maternal clans or motherhoods, the headship ... was hereditarily transmitted through women."
"The Egyptian wife was called the 'ruler of the house;' there is no corresponding term for the husband. There is nothing in Egyptian jurisprudence which bears any resemblance to the power of the husband as head of the household. ... In monuments of the Old Empire the wife is represented seated on the same seat as the husband, and with her arm over his shoulder in sign of possession."
***
THE IROQUOIS
Dee Brown: "The Five Nations of the Iroquois (were the) mightiest and most advanced of all the eastern tribes."
Lucien Carr: "Among the Iroquois those fierce and haughty warriors who sweep, as with the besom of destruction, from the Atlantic to the Mississippi and from the St. Lawrence to the Cumberland, woman's influence was absolutely paramount. Chiefs, warriors, and councils were obliged to yield to her demands when authoritatively expressed. ... The reality of their power is concretely evidenced by the fact the deeds of land transfer for the Colonial Government nearly all bear the signatures of women."
***
ARABIANS
Robert Briffault: "There is, indeed, nowhere to be found in the whole range of human records a nobler type of dignified yet unfettered, free yet self-respecting, womanhood than the woman of ancient Arabia. ... The Spartan mother did not equal her in heroism. ... Many an Arab woman personally led the men to battle. ... Arab maidens fought on horseback and commanded troops. ... Yet these proud amazons were not barbaric viragoes, but cultivated beauty, grace, and elegance, and all accomplishments of their age. The record of their sentiments is contained in their own impassioned poems, which form a considerable portion of pre-Islamic poetry and include some of the most beautiful examples. ... Like archaic Greece, ancient Arabia had its 'seven sages,' but they were women."
This explains why when the Hebrews were about to walk off their jobs in Egypt and sought compensation and severance pay from the populace, they sent the women around like a female mafia to collect from the property owners, the majority being women. Also Khadijah, wife of Muhammad, was probably the last of the historical matriarchal women in Arabia.
One thing I did in the book was rename the planets after famous people. Here was my thinking.
PAGE 443One way in which we have regressed horribly from the ancients is that we make no effort to bring the sky alive for children. Naming the planets and the stars is an area where poetry, science, history, biography, and adventure can meet. The ancients knew this and every culture gave names meaningful to their people to the heavenly bodies. If you take a child and can point to a planet and say, there's Mandela, right away he's going to learn about the planet itself and the whole story of a universal hero.
What have we got? Dead Latin gods and a whole lot of other names which mean nothing to nobody.
Like all else the sky is for the living. The stories that are told about these eight (or is it seven now?) planets can teach the young not only about astronomy but also convey all sorts of information about interesting people and events. At some point somebody in the olden days had to be doing this very thing.
You can see how the ancients invested poetry in naming the stars and constellations; and the sky has been left too long in the hands of dullard scientists who shouldn't be allowed to name cats let alone stars.
The ancients when they came up with the Big Dipper and Orion knew what a sky should be, like the song says, Poetry in Motion.
I came up with names for all the planets except one, the morning star. This was the centrepiece, the personification of the feminine principle, the queen of the night. For the longest time I was stuck but then after a very convoluted process I arrived at Madonna.
I still had misgivings so I wanted to see the numbers on that. ("Noga" is Hebrew for the morning star; "sham" in Hebrew means "there." My name Ivry works out to 74 and Madonna's name works out to 62). I'll let the writer tell it, which happens to be me.
PAGE 489On Jan. 26, 1996, there was an article on Madonna by Stein and Sexon in Maariv, a mass circulation Israeli newspaper. They gave her date of birth as Aug. 16, 1959. There was no Internet then, no way of instantly checking it, and I presumed that was the correct date. I decided to work it.
The newspaper also said she was born in Bay City, Mich.
I figured that since she was unique in our time that her date of birth would appear in a consequential number. There's no number more consequential than the speed of light, which is 299,793 km per second.
I divided 299,793 by 153, which is 17, life + 74, me, + 62, her. The answer is 1959.4314.
To get the date itself I worked also with the spaces between 4314 which are 123; so 4 x 4 = 16, the day, and 3 + 1 + 1 + 3 = 8, the month. There is a 2 left over; that tells us where she was born. The square root of 2 is 14 14 21 36. Those 14s add up to 28 which is BAY and the rest adds up to 57 CITY. I read "Michigan" from right to left as in Hebrew and it makes a simple headline in Hebrew, translated:
MORNING STAR IS THERE.
In Hebrew vowels don't appear in the written text so I was reading out the consonants there, Michigan = Mashagon, r to l, Noga sham.
That's not good enough in English but I still had that second part of the square root of 2 to play with and I assure you it checked out perfectly.
Some time after that I found out that Madonna was actually born in 1958. This means that I had been handed an abstraction, the 1959 Madonna slated for the name on the star is, as the song goes, like a virgin.
I'm not a numerologist -- I don't even know what that is. The book is more than 260,000 words long so I chose for this page mainly segments that include numbers since they speak for themselves without a lot of explaining. So, one last section involving numbers.
PAGE 446To the Jews the importance of the 7-day life rhythm, six on, one off, is a controversy that by all means is an internal affair. There is no missionary effort to spread this concept or any other among the other nations, who ended up with a 7-day calendar unit in any event, if not the rhythm of the Hebrew week, thanks to the astrologers. But there are larger questions that should be of concern to all people. Why would the Supreme Being set aside an entire "day" in the creation process to create the Shabbat rhythm? Yes the day of rest, a humanitarian benefit, came with it, but beyond that, how important is rhythm generally to the health, physical and mental, both to the species and the individual? It was chosen for a reason.
I want to show you something about numbers. When I say that 17 stands for life in this language and 360 for wholeness, these numbers have to work every time or what I'm claiming is not true, right? Just as when the electrons in your eyes are vibrating at
500,000,000,000,000 times per second you are seeing yellow, everything is going out to numbers. I suspected that 17 and 360 somehow would give me the date of the rebirth of the State of Israel, May 14, 1948. The people finally became whole and it was a celebration of life after long years of living with nothing but death.Multiply 17 by 360 and you get 6,120. The name "Elohim" in Hebrew on a five-pointed star works out to pi as noted earlier in the book. Divide 6,120 by pi out to 7 digits (3.1415926) and you get 1948.056537. That 1948 is the year. That 5 is the month. The string 6 + 5 + 3 = 14 is the day. The number absent in the string, 4, is the time the Declaration of Independence was signed. The 7 stands for the first full day of the new state.
(Even that 1199 relating to humans mixing with aliens will show up indicating the Space Exile. It's in the square root of 6,000,000 which is 2449.4897. I won't go into the calculations here except you can see the founding of the WZO and the date of Independence on the right side above and this goes on to give good side, the Matriarchy. When you multiply 2449 x 4897 that's 1199 2753. The spaces give you an enclosed circle, which means that the Jews will not perish in any event. 080 7522. The date 5708 is 1948 when we started. The number 40 means out in the wilderness and you have a stutter step double 2 there which means the Space Exile will probably happen in two stages. My point is that once a number expresses itself it becomes like a word with a defined meaning.)
Here is the table of contents of the book with brief indications of what's in each chapter.
1. Let's Rock'N'RollBook is written with those in mind who'd rather play video games or watch TV than, ugh, read. Catch them if you can.
2. Goddess And/Or God
Maimonides said, if you want to understand metaphysics, study physics. Physics is complementarity. So is metaphysics. In Israel it's God; elsewhere Goddess.
3. Genesis Vs Science
There is no conflict until you come to Day 6 with a world where all species are vegetarian. Amanda Grayson can tell you what the problem was.
4. The Messiah Scam
All nations run off their land eventually vanish in exile within a few generations. The Jews scattered in 100 lands speaking 100 tongues were kept aware of their collective identity through 60 generations. How was it done? The Messiah Scam.
5. Two Jewish Heroines
The first forceful and articulate critic of Muhammad was Asma. He had her murdered. Then he attempted to rape Zainab. She assassinated him. Tribute to two Jewish heroines.
6. Inorganic Intelligence
According to science to create an Adam from scratch would require the energy of a 1,000-megaton explosion and you would need twice as much juice since you can only bring them up two at a time. That's what Genesis says as well without the details on the energy expenditure. What's our twin species been up to since then? You can find out if you follow Nietzsche: "When you look long into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you." Just don't avert your gaze.
7. The Matriarchy
The message from one end of the Torah to the other is that you can't have the Temple except in apposition to matriarchal nations. This comes through most clearly in references to Keturah, third wife of Avraham, and to the three Edomite queens, May Zahav, May Terry De, and May Tevel.
8. White Trash
When I tell Israelis where I'm from they think we’re at the same level of civilization as the natives in the unexplored areas of the Amazon rain forest. This caused big trouble when my son went to the army. "We don't want no white trash round here," they told him.
9. Excuse My Dust
The Epicureans fought a grand rearguard action trying to prevent the ancients from falling victim to the hoary hoax of a "world to come." The Sadducees, the Israeli branch of their movement, held the fort in our land. You have to love the epitaphs on the tombstones from those enlightened days. "I was not; I was; I am not; I do not care." A modern example thanks to Dorothy Parker, "Excuse my dust."
10. The Labyrinth
Three times when the spectre of the labyrinth appeared opposite Israel, calamity ensued. The first was the slavery in Egypt. The second was the destruction of the Temple. The third was the Holocaust. Why does this happen? Zechariah supplied the clue. You have to look to India.
11. Thrice-Born Madonna
Esther is the personification of the morning star in Israel. Madonna, as it is written in the speed of light, is the personification outside Israel.
12. Eurhetorian Society
During the entire 19th century in the never-ending anti-Semitic barrage in Germany, according to Peter Viereck, only one man called publicly for the actual annihilation of all Jews. That was Richard Wagner. There have been days on liberal sites on the Internet when I've seen that demand repeated several times in a matter of hours. The liberals never used to make common cause with anti-Semites, but they are the engine of anti-Semitism today in the English-speaking world. All this took me back to my student days when I slew the liberal dragon at Mount Allison University, Sackville, N.B.
13. Real Life Spock
The alternate future is the Third Temple. On that things stand exactly where the Zionist movement stood before Herzl. Nowhere at all. The plot thickens. There are indeed a small number interested in the Third Temple in Israel. But they have no idea what they are doing. Their idea for the high priest is the Manchurian Candidate.
Speaking of Wagner explains where I'm coming from. James Frazer was puzzled by the succession rites of the priesthood of the goddess Diana in Italy. One thing led to another and after 30 years he had produced "The Golden Bough." I started out looking for the roots of the Holocaust. That led me to Richard Wagner, the fountainhead. The question that puzzled me was why did he wrote his operas while dressed as a woman. One thing led to another.
Number of pages in the book is 666.
I'm a writer not a salesman so all I can tell you about the commercial side is that the book is probably over-priced. That's because they said they are going to withhold 30 per cent for the IRS. I've got two citizenships, not American. I wouldn't know how to get that back.
The book is available here.
