How to Derive "No World Flood" from Jesus's teachings.

Sep 10, 2010 02:25 PM

In times of Jesus, about two thousand years ago, people considered forty years to be an age, a longevity of one generation. People in those times were mainly concerned with present time events. They did not build weather prognoses for millenniums to come. Jesus, being a religious leader, and having obtained the enemies, wanted revenge. He promised his people, that whomever was enemy of his teachings, and his people's believes, will be punished soon, during the last seven years of the age he lived in, his time's generation.

It was a political statement worth of two presidential terms. The "end of time" in his teachings meant the end of the seven years left out of forty years generation span. I doubt that people would keep fallowing him, if he promised the revenge to come after two millenniums. People were concerned only with things they were able to see, to witness during their lives. Seven years was enough time for Jesus to travel to India and change his name. :)

Jesus promised a change, a punishment unleashed against antichrist. He did not promise the world flood. How come a big flood story of Mesopotamia became attached to religious events of Christianity that happened thousands years later without any relation to natural disasters? Is scam an ancient word? 

Point is, Jesus gave optimistic outlook for seven coming years, but since the desired results did not come true, his pupils started forwarding the date of the event into a future, in self preservation changing interpretations in a process, and gradually attaching to the alleged promise anything that matched the keywords "end of time", eventually gluing to it Mesopotamian flood story and even stapling down Mayan calendar! There was nothing they would not touch, if only it gave them another seven years increment and convinced their people to keep fallowing. Thus, seven-year-long concerns of Jewish Christians became somehow millenniums long concerns of all the other nations involved with Christianity or not, since world flood obviously does not differentiate by religion.

Mesopotamian flood story might not even be a flood story, it looks to me more as if Noah decided to flee, to emigrate since he developed great dislike for the social arrangement that his country reached eight thousand years ago. There were, probably, retributions awaiting many people, including him. He described in his story the secrecy of building the ship, and the fact that he placed on a ship everything and everybody he had, including all sorts of animals. This is behavior of a person who lives his country forever.

The ship was built in a traditional way for Mesopotamians to create an artafficial zig-zagged slope, with four walls, something what looks like pyramid, in Noah's case it had six slopes, or stories. It was a cruiser of sorts, without sails. Then he described, as any marine would, how the sea voyage went, darkness, storms, people getting sea sick, dying, high waters, how long they travelled, how they seen Ararat Mountains, then looked for land, sent out bird mail, found proper bay and landed. They settled in a new land, Caucasus mountains. 

in time a historian visited "one survivor of a flood" and learned of details. That does not mean that Noah was the only survivor, that only means that at the time he was visited by historian, he was only one person alive out of the rest who was involved in that great travel. If we read in newspaper "The journalist spoke to a Yanko Brizgloff, the only one surviving veteran of World War I", that does not mean that World War One swept humanity off the face of Earth. 

Mayan Calendar was pulled by the ear to justify "end of time" promise. May be Mayans, when convinced by Christians of upcoming end of the world, decided that it makes no sense to work on their calendar any more. Since they already had it graphed to the year 2012, they decided to stop. :) However, the fact that Noah's story existed among American Indians before Columbus, only proves that some of the American Indian tribes were caucasians form Noah's ship, whom sometime during last eight millenniums moved to Siberia and then to Americas. 

Actually, I was happy with deriving "No World Flood" from Jesus's teachings even five paragraphs back. I just got caught in the waves. I congratulate myself and everybody who believes my conclusions on finding peace of mind and solving this nagging world flood dilemma in such simple, elegant way.
