Mark 13:51Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. 52Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.

Egyptian Mythology

Egyptian mythology seems strange to me. But, it gives historical artefacts and context to the Biblical Poetry.

1. Showing the Bible is Authentic to its time period; because the diction of Egyptian Mythology looks like the Bible's in Exodus, showing a Man of Egyptian Royal Education wrote it.
2. And that the Bible's prophecies are a polemic against what conversations Israel and Egyptians were having; much like our conversations today. Prophecy had the Character of Ancient Apologetics.

Egyptian mythology is schizophrenic. Probably some of the least cogent mythology. It just interests me for historical artefacts. to help me understand Biblical Poetry.
 
For instance, an idol was venerated for its wont to cause the Nile to dry and cause famines. Like that in Joseph's day.  But Joseph correctly prophesied the famine, and so they stored grains, showing yet again,. the  Bible gets true geographic information. And the famine lasted 7 years. I find this fascinating. Joseph would live 400 years before Amenhotep III, in 1730BC. This famine occurred in the III Egyptian Dynasty, 2500BC, before the flood. Around the time of Naqad. 

Yet, we see the geographical propensity for famine, which Joseph prophesied. These 7 year famines have a propensity to happen, it seems, once a millennium. Yet, one sees again Pharaoh, the Nile Dragon, talked about and mocked, in Ezekiel. Also, a command in Genesis, that men, by acting on divine guidance, produce remedies for disasters; which Joseph may have been given this vision to avert the belief in pagan idols, and establish divine authority over even the Pharaohs and the Egyptian gods.

On Mesopotamian Origins of the Scripture

{}El has a {connection} with Mesopotamia, [so because of that] it proves a Mesopotamian Link with the scripture, which is why we see El Yahweh Elyon come from Mesopotamia, into Egypt, and then{} those two traditions were merged by Moses, being the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob respectively. The flood happened at the break between the first and third dynasties of Ur. As, you see there's no Second, and all historical civilizations have a gap at that period. Sargon is Nimrod. So, that's about 200 years before Abraham.

{}[So,] there's a Mesopotamian link to the Bible, through El, and that Moses merged the El and Yahweh traditions together. Being respectively the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. But, the flood happened in the 24th century BC, where we see there's a gap between the First and Third dynasties of Ur. Which, that Second Dynasty is when the populations are recovering after the flood. And we see a similar gap all over the world, and the universal Neolithic Culture disappears. And Sargon is Nimrod, so that's about 200 years before Abraham. Abraham lived under Sulgi, and the battle of Sidim is actually recorded by Sulgi's historians.

The Faith Handed Down by Abraham

The God of the Bible was worshipped from Neolithic times, and a historical document of the Patriarchs was established, and kept through Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and this document was of the God El--a Mesopotamian word for Lord--that migrated up into Egypt where you see the worship of Yahweh, which then gets transplanted to Canaan by Moses. So, the God of the Bible is not "Baal" but El Yahweh Elyon. As the God of the Patriarchs was always one preoccupied with righteousness, and opposed to sin. You see that from the days of Hammurabi, which were inspired by Laws codified probably by Abraham, and also why we find concurrent myths in the ANE that are similar to the Bible's, is that Abraham was a Mesopotamian Lord. As "El" is an Akkadian word that means "Lord".

I Am a Worm and Not a Man

I am a worm, LORD, you are a Man;
Like a sole savant,  you understand
That I'm a measly tube of flesh
Which does not know which way is best.

LORD, your omniscience is far beyond
My intelligence, which through you has won
Me great wisdom, power and knowledge
To see the fruits of heavenly homage

Which you give this worm to see
Grasps at all radical wisdom free.
LORD, all things I see
Through your Spirit within me.

LORD, my heart is circumcised
Of the pride of its own wise
Decree, for I need Thy mercy.
Joy, spring forth through Thee.

Through tempest's storm, and trial
You shall purge in my soul what's vile
And make me, as I am now, clean
And Your holy feathers You shall preen

To make a shield around my heart
Which by Your voice is now enlarged
By great and mighty wonders told;
LORD, I tremble, for I am of Thy fold.

The Quatern of Love

“Marry me my darling,” he said
To the maid, upon the way home.
She looked quite agape, and then laid
Her head upon his shoulder, some.

She said to him, with a smile,
“Marry me my darling,” she said
Hiding her head in his wild
Passionate embrace, they were fed

Each on the passions of each, led
Deeper into their love’s embrace.
“Marry me my darling,” they said
Knowing now they would have a mate.

So, on the eve of wedding bells
They to the altar then were wed
And deep into love, they both fell,
“Marry me my darling,” they said.

They Mercy and Thy Peace

LORD Thy Mercy and Thy Peace
Wed them to me, through Thy Feast.
Let me sit with them at dawn
When they Son shall bring His calm.

In Mount Zion, Thy Treasure's good
And let me eat of Thy heavenly food.
Let Mercy's bosom be to me
A key to Heaven's righteous streets.

Let Peace be adorned in Thy good hand
To help me always understand
That Thy Truth and Righteous love
Is the one and only cleansing flood.

In my baptism I was raised
From all sin and death, so this day
I wait upon Your return,
To bring me Zion's milk so pure.

O! Precious Savior, I tremble now
At Thy Word, and am so proud;
Do not LORD, humble me
But rather bring me Thy good Peace.

Oh Christ my Savior, I am proud
And ignorant, and my foolishness so loud.
Therefore LORD, teach me Your truth
And my righteousness forsooth

Only comes from Thy right hand
And Thy Arm to save the Land
Of Heavenly Jerusalem.
LORD Your Arm is my Anthem.

LORD I Tremble At Thy Word

LORD I tremble at Thy holy word
For I know, with wrath a sword
Shall slaughter all Thine enemies
And Thy Servants shall eat Thy feast.

Satan whispers blasphemies
And unholy counsel in the weeds
Where his hordes do wait for blood,
LORD destroy them with cleansing floods.

LORD I listen to Thy Word
And I tremble, for it is pure.
I stack myself up against it.
I find I am not guiltless.

Therefore LORD, be comfort to me,
Let me come into Zion's streets.
Let me come, in chariot's fire
To the LORD's house in that hour.

LORD when all darkness abounds
Be a light, and have me found
In thy holy wings adored;
LORD let me be, from all sin now cured. 

For You have such a holy feast,
Save me from, the wicked beasts.
Keep me in Thy holy Hour
When You judge the nations' power.

LORD I sing to You this song
Let my hands do no wrong.
LORD You are so good to me
And give me all my blessing.

LORD, Your power is to me
A precious, signet ring
Which I press upon the seal
Of my heart, and Thy word I feel.

LORD all things to You above
You are the only God I love.
Christ my LORD, You are so true
And heavenly Zion shall be proved.

One last verse I sing to Thee,
Let me enter into Thy peace.
Let me not be heavy bound
By sinful thoughts, but be found.

The Rap of the Antichrist

The poor boy, because all history was forgotten
Got up on the stage, to perform his Eurodisco song.
He was proud, Arabic and Malaysian.

"My stage name is Hitler, 
"Because I made so many hits.
"I believe in the ghosts of my fathers
"And the ghosts of my jits.
"History, you see, will remember me for ages
"I'm the boss of boss, and I'm better than all the sages."

To which, he didn't ever read one sage his entire life,
And should he, he'd never understand them.
As his cohorts danced, and laughed to strobe lights
And flashing disco balls. The Christians all
Lived in the ghettos, and he was about
To rally up his audience to go and destroy them.
