ORIGIN OF THE BIBLES WE READ

I was intrigued by VULGATE, and few other writers of the many ‘BIBLES’ for sale today. But I realized that I do not know the supposed ‘VULGATE.’ Who and what ‘it‘ could be or what they could be. So I began my journey to find the history behind the contents of the ‘BIBLES’ we read. VULGATE is a Latin translation of the BIBLE, not a person. The VULGATE translations started around 382 CE/AD and finished in 405 CE/AD led by JEROME STRIDON, and commissioned by POPE DAMASUS, from the then ROMAN ‘BIBLE’, known as the VETUS LATINA GOSPEL.

A quick stop on our DATE LINE, the books which makes up the ‘BIBLE’ were written by many, more than 3 000-Years ago. Hence the reason for the inclusion of various literary genres. Such as Poetry, History, Songs, Stories, letters, and prophetic writings and information found on bits and pieces of parchment. Found and translated, and very often simply by word of mouth. Then in walked ALEXANDER THE GREAT and he builds a Library, and he needs to fill this Library. He goes on a ‘road-trip’ steals and ‘takes’ whatever he could lay his hands on. He then employs these ‘priest or monks’ to make sense of all. They did what they could with what they had. They translated from whatever ‘language’ these parchments were written in and they translated it into GREEK or LATIN, whilst discussing amongst themselves, as to what really could be said on those ‘found’ parchments. This is our first line of ‘telling it as you see it, not as it was intended’ FOR US TO KNOW.

However, onward on our journey and we see that in 1 400 CE/AD, the printing press was invented and walla, we have a printed version of what they had compiled. And what they labelled as the ‘BIBLE’. A word meaning ‘a book regarded as authoritative in particular sphere’ there we have it. Just a collection of other people’s writings and seldom the persons whose name is on it.

VETUS was written in SIGLUM, an abbreviated writing method referred to as TIRONIAN SHORTHAND. This is a writing used by MEDIEVAL Scribes across many languages, including LATIN, GREEK, OLD ENGLISH, and OLD NORSE, and I presume also OLD LATIN. They wrote on stones, parchments, and metal.

SIGLUM used symbols for whole words or word roots as well as for grammatical modifier marks. It was used for either whole passages in shorthand or only certain words.

When SIGLUM, was first introduced it consisted of only 140 symbols, but by the year 1 500 CE/AD it consisted of about 14 000 symbols. Then a surprise on my journey. This form of writing was not totally accepted as it became associated with witchcraft and magic and such, and it lost favor.

So many questions, and I am sure by you the reader. However, allow me to continue my journey and allow the information gathered to clear those questions up for once. So, firstly, I need to say, when a scribe uses the ‘wrong’ symbol, surely the message is no longer what it was intended to convey, they were human. We can go on and on, on our journey, but it is history we are talking about, so we allow our journey to continue. Here we are back on the road, as to who wrote the ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPTS of the ‘BIBLE’ as inspired by GOD.

We take a look at QUMRAN, and ALEXANDER THE GREAT and those Seventy ‘HOLY’ men he employed to translate those manuscripts they found and ‘took’ at QUMRAN.

Just a quick look at the DEAD SEA SCROLLS found in 1 946 CE/AD. The DEAD SEA SCROLLS, collectively, make up about Nine hundred Manuscripts, dating from around 200 BCE, written by who knows?

But certainly, by a people who were close to GOD. But, as we know those Roman’s destroyed the QUMRAN SETTLEMENT in 70 CE/AD. It is believed that the people who wrote the DEAD SEA SCROLLS were ESSENES, living in JUDAEA, the Church of JESUS.

What is known today is that the DEAD SEA SCROLLS contains fragments from every BOOK of the OLD TESTAMENT, except the BOOK of ESTHER. Which tells us of the JEWISH QUEEN OF PERSIA. A young lady named HADASSAH, travels to PERSIA, and finds herself married to KING XERXES. However, before the writing of the BOOK of ESTHER goes dark. It feels like a love story that goes wrong for the first Queen VASHTI, as she is replaced by ESTHER. However, any evidence of the BOOK itself, has yet to be found. So, what we know about this young lady, is what was written by others.

It is time to get back to our journey. We get back to the DEAD SEA SCROLLS and find that it was written in HEBREW and also OLD PALEO-HEBREW, which was no longer in use after the year 500 BCE.

A bit of ARAMAIC, the language of JESUS and still in use by some, today, but not as popular as it was during the years 600 BCE to around 70 CE/AD.

A moment of confusion is that it reports that very few MANUSCRIPTS were translated from HEBREW to GREEK, so we will take another look at those 70 Holy Men. But first we must take another look at the DEAD SEA SCROLLS. We see that in one of the vessels there was a COPPER SCROLL, showcasing an ancient TREASURE MAP, which reports of about 64- underground spots where Gold, and Silver Caches can be found. This map contained both HEBREW and GREEK writing. The question is, how many of these ‘hiding’ places were ever found? And the answer is none to-date. My assumption as to why they were not found, is simple, the language in which it was written is not understood by us today.

We journey on, and I found that some of the Manuscripts found at QUMRAN, were actually written by that community and a few were even written in GREEK. We see that ALEXANDER THE GREAT, was GREEK, and on his death at the age of 32-Years, in the year 323 BCE. He left behind a ‘world’ who adopted the GREEK LANGUAGE, its thoughts, and cultures, known as HELLENISM. Even the Romans continued to use the GREEK Language, which became the principal language from around 300 BCE through to around 300 CE/AD.

Now ALEXANDER THE GREAT, employed those Seventy Holies, whomever they were. They took what was found from the CAVES at QUMRAN and translated it into GREEK, and we see the creation of the SEPTUAGINT, referred today as the “Forgotten Book,” on whose backbone all of our ‘modern’ BIBLES, are copied from. This allowed for errors and re-writes and re-interpretation to manifest, allowing verses and statements to please their ill-intended gains or purposes, and printed for you to read.

Ironically, a few of the current day BIBLES are about 90% correct measured against the QUMRAN MANUSCRIPTS. I saw the effects of the copies and re-writes when I tried to find NOAH’S wife’s name, so many dates, and so many names were given and reported, for whatever ill-intended reasons and purposes.

So as our journey ends, not a sudden end, my research end I can safely say that the original HEBREW and ARAMAIC and even GREEK manuscripts were translated into GREEK around 200 BCE, by the Seventy Holies and their final Document was the SEPTUAGINT, and it became important to the development of the GOSPEL, as GOD wanted us to know.

And so, we find that during those early years non-Jewish people were able to read the writings of the ANCIENT HEBREW PROPHETS, as GOD intended.

The SEPTUAGINT does provide an accurate record of EARLY HEBREW TEXT, which is also referred to as the MASORETIC TEXT, now lost, against the findings and writings of the DEAD SEA SCROLLS.

We need to understand that the BOOK, we know as the BIBLE, was compiled by ‘people’ with an agenda, unknown to us today. In saying that we must be realistic that many MANUSCRIPTS have been left out of the compilation of the BOOK, we know as the BIBLE. I also accept that when JESUS was killed, but from the time he realized that he would be killed, he passed his writings to his brother JAMES. I cannot begin to wonder what and how much of what GOD sent to earth for JESUS to find, and to share with us TO KNOW today. In my mind truly little and it is for this reason that we feel that we have lost.

Everybody who thinks that they are the chosen one to speak on GOD’S behalf, is trying to convince us that what they say is what GOD wanted us TO KNOW. They are a confused bunch, as they most certainly do not know what they are talking about. They are economically stringing a ‘story’ of a ‘story’ along in the name of GOD, but they do not have in hand, what GOD wanted us TO KNOW, it was destroyed, and that is a fact based on evidence of the destruction of the Temple and Qumran and many other places of storage. My heart is heavy with what is.

In closing, with all what the ROMANS allowed and people like HEROD conducted, we will have to get to HEAVEN and face GOD to know what HIS true intentions were for us here on EARTH. In my mind, in the scheme of things, we are but a ‘young people’ and so we wish the future generations, a GOD inspired levels of intelligence from GOD HIMSELF to them.
