This God who has eaten a meal beneath the shade tree is obviously not omniscient, since he had to go down and see for himself concerning the goings on at Sodom and Gomorrah: "I will go down now and see if they have done entirely according to the outcry, which has come to Me, and if not I will know." Genesis 18:20-21 NAS.
Apparently, the Hebrew God can be argued with, for the remainder of chapter 18 is devoted to Abraham attempting to persuade God not to destroy all of the inhabitants of the two cities. In Genesis 32:34, we again find that God is referred to as a man: "Then Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him until daybreak." Jacob, victorious in his struggle states: "I have seen God face to face;" Genesis 32:29-30.
Jacob also asks the god/man to identify himself, implying that he was aware of the existence of plural deities. Abraham and Jacob were not the only humans to converse with God in a face to face situation, the patriarch Moses also had that unique privilege: "And it came about, whenever Moses went out to the tent, ...the Lord would speak with Moses." Yes, it appears that the Lord used to "speak to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his friend..." Exodus 33:9 & 11.
Moses was not the only Israelite to go up to God, or to see him. "for Moses went up with Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and they saw the God of Israel; and under his feet there appeared to be a pavement of sapphire, as clear as the sky itself. Yet he did not stretch out his hand against the nobles of the sons of Israel; and they beheld God, and they ate and drank." Exodus 24:9-11.
The New Testament tells us that Jesus was both the Son of Man and the Son of God. It stands to reason therefore that if he is a combination of someone from Heaven, and someone from earth, then he is in fact a hybrid. The Bible also provides us with a description of what God actually looks like, for Jesus stressed that "...He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how do you say, "Show us the Father?" John 14:9. Logic dictates that if Jesus looked like his father, and Jesus looked like a human being, then this means that God looks like a human being.
Genesis 1:27 states that man is created in the "image of God," implying that God looks like a man. Some biblical scholars try to pass the buck by saying that verses which refer to man having been created in the image of his god, are in fact references to his having a spirit like that of God. Though this is true to a certain degree, it is clearly the nature of that spirit that confuses man, for the Lord said, "My Spirit shall not abide with man forever, in his going astray he is flesh;..." Genesis 6:3.
Is the spirit of God that which has been incorporated into man in order to make him look like his god? The Hebrew scriptures have consistently rendered the word "neph'esh" as soul; and throughout the Bible, both man and God are referred to as a soul (Genesis 2:7, NAS and Jeremiah 50:14 NWT). Zecharia Sitchin equates the word Neph'esh, or soul, with the spirit in his book The 12th Planet. He points out that the Old Testament exhorts against the shedding of human blood and the eating of animal blood, "for the soul of every sort of flesh is its blood by the soul in it.4 Leviticus 17:14 , NWT.
Apparently, there is a connection between an element in the blood, and the living body of a creature or soul. Curiously, Sumerian and Babylonian texts state that the blood of a god was employed to create man in what appears to be a primitive, yet provocative description of genetic engineering: "Let the one god be slaughtered, then let the gods be cleansed by immersion. Let Nintu mix clay with his flesh and blood. Let that same god and man be thoroughly mixed in the clay...from the flesh of a God let a spirit remain."5 Note that the gods washed up, or "cleansed" themselves by "immersion," just as modern day physicians would before performing such a procedure. And, it was from the "flesh" and "blood" of the god, that this "spirit" was derived. This enigmatic spirit was to remain in the new type of "man" they were making.
Since the DNA of a living creature is found in its blood, this lends credence to the concept that the spirit or soul is synonymous with DNA. If biological engineering took place in the Garden of Eden, then we can clearly understand what the words "in the image of God" really mean. Man, an inferior being, was apparently given a dose of superior genes from his Elohim creators in what must have been an effort to improve him for some reason.6 And, as the Elohim put their DNA into the bodies of the existing "clay" of the earth, in all likelihood, the homo-erectus or ape-man that may have been in existence when this experiment took place, then they also put their "life force" into man. In other words, it was their divine DNA that provided man with an everlasting spirit, like that of his space fathers. It is this "infinite" spirit that could not strive within finite man forever, according to Genesis 6:3, and it was man's "flesh" that was causing the problem. We know this condition as "mortality."
It could be that the holographic energy pattern, or spirit of man derived from the Elohim, continues to live once the human flesh is destroyed, and thus it is this pattern that can be reanimated to raise the dead. The spirit pattern of the Elohim generated a physical body capable of supporting it for a much greater span of time than an earthly derived body could provide, due to evolutionary conditions here on earth. Therefore this meant that once the earthly body was used up, the superior template from which it was made could continue on, in a higher dimension. Since everything in the universe, including our bodies are made up from scalar frequencies, then by subjecting this holographic pattern to the correct scalar frequency, it might be possible to regenerate, or resurrect the dead. This concept may be where the ancient Hebrews and others, derived the concept of eternal life, and the regeneration, or resurrection of the dead spoken of in the Bible. (See Matthew 19:29, 25:46, 19:28, John 3:16, & Acts 24:21).
If man does in fact possess an "inner body" made up of holographic electrical impulses, then this may be what is made manifest when one sees a "ghost," or specter. This would be the eternal "spirit" inherited from the DNA of the Elohim. The remaining imprint of this energy pattern might even be the kyrillian field which has been photographed in modern times. Egyptian mummies, missing appendages such as fingers, have been photographed with kyrillian photography. The missing fingers are present in the kyrillian aura of the mummy. Since the mummy has been deceased for thousands of years, it is unlikely that this kyrillian aura is the ghost itself. However, the ghost, or spirit, most likely exists in a different dimension, while an imprint of the auric pattern remains with the corpse.
The Bible alludes to the existence of ghosts, or spirits, for King Saul visited a medium at En-dor, and had her call up the spirit of the deceased prophet Samuel. (I Samuel 28:7-20). It could be that this inner, hidden body is capable of having what is referred to as an "out of body experience," in which a person voluntarily, or involuntarily leaves the body temporarily, travels on the astral plane to other destinations or dimensions, then returns. The New Testament refers to this type of astral projection experience in II Corinthians 12:2-4. The Apostle Paul describes a man who traveled to the "third heaven,"* or Paradise, to hear "inexpressible words," concerning God. Paul was unsure of whether this occurred "in the body," or "out of the body." He was convinced however, that the man had indeed traveled to the "third heaven." (It is well established in the UFO literature that many abductee/contactees, claim to have had "out of body" experiences with the occupants of UFO's. This apparently, is not an experience confined to modern times, for it seem to be connected to ET encounters in biblical times as well).
Bearing all the evidence discussed so far into mind, it would appear that God is a person, with a physical body, a living, breathing, entity possessing the "breath of life." This implies that he is a being who obeys the laws of physics just as all living creatures and matter within the universe. Because man was created "male and female," in the image of his creators the Elohim, then God would inevitably be able to reproduce.
The Elohim are mentioned over 3,350 times in biblical writings.7 Incredibly enough, in early Israel, Hebrew religion did not seek to deny the existence of other gods.8 Even Bible translators were unable to totally eradicate their existence f
rom scripture as evidenced by this Psalms in which God (YHWH), decrees death to some other gods:
"God takes his stand in the congregation of God; He judges in the midst of the gods, how long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked? Vindicate the weak and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and destitute. Rescue the weak and needy; deliver them out of the hand of the wicked. They do not know nor do they understand; they walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken. I on my part said you are gods, and all of you are sons of the Most High. Nevertheless, you will die like men, fall like one of the princes." Arise, O God, judge the earth! For it is thou who dost possess all the nations." Psalm 82, NAS.
If no other gods existed, it would be unnecessary to order their deaths, or to chide them for maltreatment of human beings. The beginning of the texts indicate that God was in the place where these deities assembled when he issued his decree of death for the failure on their part to judge their human possessions fairly. It is possible that this text alludes to a military coup in which the God of Israel overthrew errant deities on his home planet. The corresponding Mesopotamian text will be discussed in chapter nine. Numerous Mesopotamian documents exist describing attempted takeovers by various factions among the Sumerian and Babylonian deities.9
From texts such as the 82nd Psalms, and references to the Elohim, it appears that the ancient Hebrews practiced monotheism, the worship of one particular God, while believing that others existed.10 It would seem that this is true, since God often had a difficult time keeping his little flock from the clutches of other gods. In fact, the first commandment given to the people after Moses descended from the mountain was this: "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me!" Exodus 20:2.
If there were no other gods, then why would God need to worry? Surely, after meeting with, and witnessing the miracles of their God, idols of mere wood and stone would have seemed passe. We conclude that other man-like deities did exist, and that those who initially recorded the messages from these beings did not try to remove them completely from the one God scenario. Apparently, these beings communicated with earthlings, just as the God of the Old Testament did, in attempts to woo humans into their domain for their own personal agendas.
Psalms 82 indicates that the God of Moses was the most benevolent of all the Elohim in his dealings with the men of earth. From this we ascertain that the Hebrew God is a being of feeling and emotions. He has a sense of right and wrong. He exhibits kindness toward earthlings by defending them from the harsh treatment of "other gods."
In conclusion, it is obvious that the Hebrew Deity possessed a physical body (soul) like ours. (He most likely possesses a spirit similar to man's as well). According to ancient writings including the Bible, God originally came from "the kingdom of the Heavens."** He, therefore, appears to be a member of a non-terrestrial race of beings the Bible refers to as the Elohim; beings that Sitchin traced back to the Sumero-Babylonian deities. Which of these deities was the God of the Old Testament, and what was his Sumerian name? If He is an alien being, we are left with other puzzling questions. Just where is this "kingdom of the Heavens"? Where are the Elohim now? Will they ever return?
*This "third heaven" is in all likelihood planet Nibiru. This is detailed in chapter twelve.
**See Matthew 3:2, reference to literal text in side margin.

5. The Sons Of God
The New American Standard version of Genesis 6:1-4 speaks of beings called the Nephilim. They are described as "sons of God." 'The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came into the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.' (Genesis 6:4).
Dr. Matest M. Agrest was the first modern scientist to advance the theory that Earth was visited by beings from outer space in prehistoric times. He dreamed of finding an ancient manuscript that would provide evidence of paleo-contact from an extraterrestrial civilization. He turned his attention to the well known scrolls of the Holy Bible and discovered Genesis 6:4 in the English translation of the new JPS translation of 1988: "It was then, and later to, that the Nephilim appeared on earth-when the divine beings cohabited with the daughters of men, who bore them offspring's. They were the heroes of old, the men of renown."11
Obviously, these Nephilim (who are in all likelihood the Elohim of the garden of Eden), were not earth beings; for in the above translation they are called divine beings, indicating that their origin was Heaven. In both translations, they are reported to have taken human females for consorts, that in turn bore offspring to them. If "sons of God" were human beings, then an attempt by the author would not have been made to distinguish between two separate races. These lusty beings were "men who were of old," implying that they existed before man. They are also "men of renown." According to Sitchin, the word renown is a mistranslation. The Hebrew word actually used in the ancient texts is "shem." It has a double meaning (as do many other Hebrew and Sumerian words).
Shem, inadvertently misunderstood, was rendered by most translators as a sign for the word "name." However, it originally signified "that which goes up." Sitchin designates the origin of shem as Mesopotamian, originating from the word mu, or the Semitic derivative shu-mu, or sham. The term denoted "that by which one is remembered," evolving into "name." The original meaning of the words however, was originally connected with the concept of something that flies. Cuneiform symbols, and Sumerian pictographs of the word mu denote a rocket in flight.12 If one replaces the word name (renown) with rocket ship, the true meaning is rendered: "Those were the mighty men who were of old,
verse starts out, "The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and for many days after that," as though to say that they were not always here, having arrived to Earth from somewhere else. They remained for awhile, and then, they were gone. Where did they go, these men of rocket ships? Where had they come from originally
, and why did they come to Earth? According to the Sumerians, a large, radiant planet lies on the outer edge of our solar system as the twelfth celestial body (counting the sun and moon.) It was this planet NE.BI.RU from which their human-like gods originated.14 (We shall discuss this planet in chapter three, and in chapter four how the Bible records both its appearance and reappearance).
The reason these "sons of God" came to Earth is recorded in the Hittite epic tale titled, "Kingship in Heaven." The gods, while still on their planet, fought for "the Crown of Heaven." Anu, seized the throne and remained to rule, while King Alalu fled to Earth. Consequently, he discovered that Earth contained large deposits of gold needed for their space program, and other projects connected with high technology. He informed the home planet of his findings, thus stimulating an ambitious mission to Earth in order to retrieve this valuable substance.15
Sumerian texts indicate that King Anu was the "father of the gods."16 Sitchin reasoned that the "sons of God" mentioned in Genesis 6:4 were in reality the descendants of Anu. He deduced this because the Hebrew religion sprang from the Sumerian patriarch Abraham, and was based upon a worship of Sumerian deities. Though "Kingship in Heaven" is a Hittite text, Hittite gods were the same beings worshipped by the Sumerians. The Hittites acquired their religion, gods, cosmology, and "myths" from the Hurrians, who had inherited all their lore from the Sumerians.17 (Haran, the Hurrian city to which Abraham journeyed after leaving the Sumerian Cult city of Ur, was its twin, satellite city).18
