[quote=nightshadetwine post_id=97925 time=1556299158 user_id=7451 I am so sorry, as you will see in my previous post, I did not want to hijack this thread. I was in the wrong and out of scope on this thread. I think Friedman, makes a great case that the Levites were Egyptians and that would be a so...

The book of Revelation has as its foundations the Hebrew Scriptures. The difference is that Revelation quotes the Hebrew Scriptures using Hebrew Poetry or what I call Parallel Formation. For example, Revelation chapter 4 forms a chiasmus with Ezekiel chapter 1. Likewise Revelation 17 forms a simple...

The death and resurrection of Jesus took place around the time of Passover which is in the spring. Passover starts during the full moon and apparently on the 15th day of Nisan. Osiris's death and resurrection was associated with the full moon. A festival was celebrated for Osiris "coming to the...

I've seen commentary that Jesus resurrection was timed for the equinox and specifically to align the fourth day after the equinox with the fourth day of the creation story of Genesis [1:16, tied to Gen 1:14 "as [a sign] to mark sacred times"], when 'God made two great lights—the greater l...

The two kingdoms may be also the night and the day. They have the same length during the vernal equinox , where some Mythicists à la Acharya (with all the doubts of the case) identified the crucifixion in the heavens. I think it's possible that Jesus' death and resurrection has something to do with...

Ezekiel 37: One Nation with One King When the sticks on which you write are in your hand and in full view of the people, 21you are to tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will take the Israe...

I came across some more information that supports H. Detering's interpretation of the "crossing of waters". Crossing of the Lake Ritual, Eltayeb Abbas, Current Research In Egyptology 2009 Proceedings of the Tenth Annual Symposium https://www.researchgate.net/publication/268147419_'Crossing...

http://www.mythicistpapers.com/2018/10/13/h-detering-the-gnostic-meaning-of-the-exodus-a-commentary-pt-38/ For Detering, this central concept also links the Therapeutae with Joshua ben Nun and with a core event in Jewish mythology: the crossing of the Jordan River. That crossing, so vital in Jewish ...

the Son of God was also crucified in these, imprinted in the form of a cross on the universe; for He had necessarily, in becoming visible, to bring to light the universality of His cross, in order to show openly through His visible form that activity of His... This reminds me of Plato's "X&quo...

Another thing to add to all this is the resurrection of the moon. Plutarch, Moralia, 368B The Apis, they say, is the animate image of Osiris,250 and he comes into being when a fructifying light thrusts forth from the moon and falls upon a cow in her breeding-season.251 Wherefore there are many thing...
