ALPHABETIC HISTORY of CIVILIZATION
ANCIENT and MODERN GENEALOGIES


PREFACE

This book evaluates historical knowledge as it relates to ancient and modern genealogies
.
Information gleaned from social contexts, both secular and religious, are reviewed, using
modern genealogical research specialist standards: to properly reconstruct and correctly
portray real historical lives and family pedigrees.  Cultural, religious and family tradition,
(their stated facts and viewpoints), are surveyed within given ancient contexts of
primary
and secondary record sources, as handed down for the benefit of our modern generation.
Modern claims of genealogical attachment to biblical records are noted, with remarks.

INTRODUCTION:

Pliny the Elder
, circa A.D. 23 - 79, scholar, historian, and scientific encyclopedist,
born at Novum Comum in northern Italy but mainly resident of Rome, mentions
the Phoenicians in his thirty seven book work: Natural History.  This record,
considered by some as the apex of ancient science after the time of the school
of Aristotle, stated that: "To the
Phoenician people belongs the glory of having
invented letters and discovered the sciences of astronomy, navigation and the art
of war."  In Ancient Fragments, by Isaac Preston Cory, Esq., mention is made
of the Greek historian previous to the Christian era, by name called Eupolemus.
This Eupolemus notes that in the tenth generation, Abraham lived in Camarina of
Babylonia [Urie], a city of the Chaldeans, and was of noble heritage and superior
to all others in wisdom.  Abraham was stated to be the inventor of astrology and
the Chaldaean magic; esteemed of God due to his eminent and recognized piety.
Under the direction of the God of Heaven, Abraham removed and lived in
Phoenicia, and there taught the Phoenicians the motions of the sun and moon
and all other things, for which reason, he was held in great reverence, by the
Phoenician King.

Louis H. Feldman writes about "Proselytes and 'Sympathizers' in the light
of the new inscriptions from Aphrodisias", in Revue des Etudes juives,
CXLVIII (3-4), juillet-decenbre 1989, pp. 265-305; that: "The Jews'
reputed skill in astrology may likewise have proved an attraction.
The Graeco-Jewish historian Artapanus (ca. 100 B.C.E.) (ap. Eusebius,
Praeparatio Evangelica
9.18.1) states that it was Abraham who taught
the Egyptian pharaoh the science of astrology.  Similar statements are
found in pseudo-Eupolemus (ap. Eusebius, Praeparatio Evangelica 9.17.8)
and Josephus (Antiquities 1.167).

Indeed, Hadrian  (Sciptores Historiae Augustae,Quadrigae Tyrannorum 8.3)
remarks that there is no chief of a synagogue who is not an astrologer
(mathematicus), soothsayer (haruspex), or anointer (aliptes).  Moreover, in
the middle of the second century, Vettius Valens, in his astrological work,
Anthologiae (2.28,29), refers to Abraham as a most wonderful astrological
authority.  Furthermore, Abraham's skill in astrology is mentioned no fewer
than four times in Firmicus Maternus' fourth century astrological treatise,
the Mathesis (4: Proemium 5, 17.2, 17.5, and 18.1).  Firmicus' contemporary
Julian (Contra Galilaeos 356C) remarks that Abraham employed the method
of divination from shooting stars and from the flight of birds.  Since, we may
remark, proselytes are regarded as children of Abraham, himself the first
proselyte, they would presumably identify with him as an astrologer."

Critical analysis of evidence discussed within these records shows some
historical validity of the existence of an Abraham, connected with knowledge
of planetary motions, practice of an internationally recognized religious priesthood,
as well as being a teacher and communicator through letters and writings.  Secondary
evidence is thus provided for the statement given in The Book of Abraham, translated
from papyrus by Joseph Smith, Jr., from Chapter 1, Verse 31; namely:
"But the records of the fathers, even the patriarchs, concerning the right of Priesthood,
the Lord my God preserved in mine own hands; therefore a knowledge of the beginning
of the creation, and also of the planets, and of the stars, as they were made known unto
the fathers, have I kept even unto this day, and I shall endeavor to write some of these
things upon this record, for the benefit of my posterity that shall come after me."
The Prophet Joseph Smith, Jr. received Hebrew language education, by the instructions
of the erudite Jew, Joshua Seixas, whose family pedigree is listed and recorded in the
book:
First American Jewish Families
, by Rabbi Malcolm H. Stern, FASG.

Additional secondary evidence comes from the Grammar & Alphabet
of the Egyptian Language
, in which the ancient patriarchs are listed:
Phah eh         The first man, or Adam, coming from Adam -
                       Keys or right over Patriarchal right by appointment;
                       Also know as: Ba eth Ka - Adam or the first man, or first king
Ba eth Kee   The next from Adam, one ordained under him,
                       a patriarch or the right of the first born [Seth]
Ba eth Ki      The third patriarch: or right of the first born [Enos]
Ba eth Ko     The fourth patriarch from Adam the right of first born [Cainan]
Ba eth Ku     The fifth high priest from Adam [Mahalaleel]

The Pearl of Great Price and Book of Abraham indicate "the book of Abraham should
be evaluated on the basis of what it claims to be—Abraham's own account of his life."
The Deseret News, Salt Lake City, November 27, 1967, notes the finding of eleven
papyrus fragments, in the NYC Metropolitan Museum of Art.  The back of the papyri
were pasted down to paper with "drawings of a temple and maps of the Kirtland, Ohio
area."  An affidavit of Emma Smith stated that these papyri had been in the possession
of Joseph Smith, Jr.  According to this source, the Biblical creation story, the deluge,
"the records of the fathers, even the patriarchs," appear therefore as genealogical
primary source records, transcribed by Abraham from "preserved" and "kept" data,
handed down from generation to generation.  As noted by the History of the Church,
Vol. 2, Ch. 17, p. 236-238, July 1835, Joseph Smith, Jr. determined that "one of the
rolls contained the writings of Abraham, another the writings of Joseph of Egypt"
and he "was continually engaged in translating an alphabet to the Book of Abraham,
and arranging a grammar of the Egyptian language as practiced by the ancients."

From a genealogical research standpoint, "arranging a grammar of the Egyptian
language as practiced by the ancients", suggests that all the ancient patriarchs,
beginning with Adam, the Ancient of Days, were skilled in the art of record keeping.
This thought is further clarified in the Book of Moses, P of GP, Chapter 6, verses 5-8:
"And a
abook of bremembrance was kept, in the which was recorded, in the clanguage
of Adam, for it was given unto as many as called upon God to write by the spirit
of dinspiration;  And by them their achildren were taught to read and write, having
a blanguage which was cpure and undefiled.  Now this same aPriesthood, which was
in the beginning, shall be in the end of the world also.  Now this prophecy Adam spake,
as he was moved upon by the aHoly Ghost, and a bgenealogy was kept of the cchildren
of God.  And this was the
dbook
of the generations of Adam, saying: In the day that
God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;"  The KJV Bible record declares
in Exodus, Chapter 24, verse 4: "And Moses awrote all the words of the LORD
. . .",
of which in Chapter 5, verse 1 of Genesis, Moses recorded: "
THIS is the abook of the
bgenerations of Adam.  In the day that God created man, in the clikeness of God dmade
he him; "  The cross comparison of information shows a correct match of Biblical
Genesis, Chapter 5, verse 1, with The Pearl of Great Price, Book of Moses, Chapter 6,
verse 8.  Clearly, internal source evidence suggests primary source documents, or
copies thereof, going back to the time of Adam and (Eve - the Mother of all Living),
were available to Moses, who then wrote or copied them for himself and other Israelites.


GENEALOGIES:
A Master Number beginning with three digits is given to the direct line
descending stem.  All other descending lineages are ordered according to
where they connect into the direct line of descent as sons or daughters.
They have a dash (-) to show the connection.  The Numbers are arranged
by time of birth in the family, where possible, with the direct descendant
being placed where he or she belongs by order of birth.  In cases of long
and questionable pedigrees, the lineage is shown descending down, but
with no numbering system attached.  Added commentary is author's opinion.



001:   AHMAN: GOD, The Eternal FATHER - ELOHIM - ELOHEIM

Family of Ahman: God, the Eternal Father
Marriages:  God, by definition, is a couple, or husband and wife (wives)
                    combination.  When the Father said He created Man; male
                    and female created He them, in His own image, it means:
                    My immortal wife and I created our children in the image
                    of ourselves.  Each and every person born on this earth has
                    a spirit body of contained intelligence: a spirit child of God.
                    Ahman, a glorified, immortal Man, in the Meridian of Time,
                    physically associated with the mortal Mary, who was over-
                    come by the Holy Ghost, becoming the literal physical and
                    spiritual Father of Jesus Christ, The Only Begotten Son.
                   
The Eternal Father was married or priesthood sealed to Mary,
                    the mortal mother of Jesus Christ, prior to her conception: for
                    that which was conceived in her was of the cHoly Ghost.  Joseph,
                    a literal descendant of King bDavid, without fear, took Mary
                    to wife and became the mortal stepfather of Jesus Christ.

The Children of 001: God, the Eternal Father
001-001:   DIRECT DESCENDANT 002: (The Only Begotten Son)
                  SON AHMAN - JESUS CHRIST - The Old Testament God: JEHOVAH
                  Jesus Christ was the eldest born spirit child of God, the Eternal Father,
                  in the spirit Kingdom or Preexistence residence of the family of Man.
                  Jesus Christ is the Elder brother of all mankind that will live on this earth.
001-002:   Billions of spirit children of Heavenly Father who refused to follow
                  Jesus Christ in the spirit Kingdom.  These non embodied spirits followed
                  Lucifer, or Satan, in the Preexistence and are numbered as one-third
                  of the the spirit children designated by Ahman to inhabit this earth.
001-003:   Billions of spirit children of Heavenly Father who have been born,
                  are now living, or will ever be born upon this earth.  Sufficiently true
                  and faithful to God in the Preexistence Kingdom, these spirits obtained
                  the right of receiving mortal bodies, in an earthly probationary state.
001-004:   An innumerable,
incalculable , countless , immeasurable by man,
                  forever infinitely increasing
number of spirit children of Heavenly Father,
                  residing on
millions of aearths like this, (or, on earths glorified to a Celestial,
                  Terrestrial, or Telestial post mortal state); or in the spirit world residence of
                  Heavenly Father, awaiting their time to come to future probationary earths.
                  Moses 1: 37-39  And the Lord God spake unto Moses, saying: The aheavens,
                  they are many, and they cannot be numbered unto man; but they are numbered
                  unto me, for they are mine.  And as one earth shall pass away, and the heavens
                  thereof even so shall another come; and there is no aend to my works, neither
                  to my words.  For behold, this is my
awork and my bglory—to bring to pass the
                  cimmortality and deternal elife of man.
001-005:   Spirit children of Heavenly Father, who willfully deny the Holy Ghost testimony
                  of Jesus Christ: The Only Begotten Son of God; putting Him to an open shame.

The place where God resides is a great URIM and THUMMIM, a sea of glass and fire.
To the Prophet
Joseph Smith, Jr. the Lord revealed, "And there are many kingdoms;
for there is no space in the which there is no kingdom. . . . And unto every kingdom
is given a law." (D&C 88:37–38.)  The Prophet Abraham wrote, "And I, Abraham,
had the Urim and Thummim, which the Lord my God had given me. . . ."

"And I saw the stars, that they were very great, and that one of them was nearest
unto the throne of God; . . ."

"And the name of the great one is
Kolob, because it is near unto me … ; I have set
this one to govern all those which belong to the same order as that upon which thou
standest." (Abr. 3:1–3.)
(Spencer W. Kimball)

life:
God himself, the Father of us all, once dwelt upon an earth in a mortal state,
and went through the same process as Jesus Christ himself did upon this earth.


religion:
The Eternal Nature of God: having neither beginning of days, nor end of life.
And were it possible that man could number the particles of the earth, yea,
millions of aearths like this, it would not be a beginning to the number of His
bcreations; for His curtains are stretched out still; and yet He is there, and
His bosom is there; and also He is just; He is merciful and kind forever;
peace, bjustice, truth and mercy go before His face and have no end.

time period:
Kolob was after the manner of the Lord, according to its atimes and seasons
in the revolutions thereof; that one revolution was a bday unto the Lord, after
his manner of reckoning, it being one thousand
cyears according to the time
appointed unto that whereon thou standest [EARTH].  This is the reckoning
of the Lord’s dtime, according to the reckoning of Kolob.  The chronology of
this earth is related to the chronology of Kolob, the name of a celestialized
planet next to the residence of God.  D&C 88: 36-45  And there are many
akingdoms; for there is no bspace in the which there is no ckingdom; and
there is no kingdom in which there is no space, either a greater or a lesser
kingdom. . . . And again, verily I say unto you, he hath given a alaw unto
all things, by which they move in their btimes and their seasons; And their
courses are fixed, even the courses of the heavens and the earth, which
comprehend the earth and all the planets.  And they give alight to each
other in their times and in their seasons, in their minutes, in their hours,
in their days, in their weeks, in their months, in their years . . . The earth
arolls upon her wings, and the bsun giveth his light by day, and the moon
giveth her light by night, and the stars also give their light, as they roll
upon their wings in their glory, in the midst of the cpower of God.

Jah-oh-eh is the earth under the governing power of Oliblish, Enish-go-
on-dosh, and Ka[i/e/ii]-e-van-rash, which are the grand Key or in other
words, the governing power, which governs the fifteen fixed stars . . .
Oliblish, Enish-go-on-dosh, and Kaii-ven-rash, are the three grand
central powers [similar to the First Presidency] that govern all of the
other creations, which have been sought out by the most aged of all
the fathers, since the beginning of the creation, by means of the Urim
and Thummim.  The names of the other twelve fixed stars [similar to
the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles] are: Kolob (which is swifter in
its motion than the rest of the twelve fixed stars, being first in motion
and delegated to have power over others [similar to the President of
the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles] in regulation of their time, [through
the medium of Kli-flos-is-es and Hah-ko-kau-beam {similar in order
to the
Assistants to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles}]), Limdi (the fifth
fixed star in its motion), Zip, Vu[v/s]el, Venist[i/j], Waine, Wa[g/y]oh-
ox-oan, Oansli, [K/Shi/Me]ble, Shin[e/s]flis, Flis and Os[e].

Research Notes:
A. 
Elder Orson Pratt spoke on The Holy Spirit and the Godhead, in the open air,
on the Temple Block [Temple Square], in Great Salt Lake City, [S. L. C., UT]
February 18, 1855. He noted:
"What is the name of God in, the pure language?"
The answer says, "Ahman."
"What is the name of the Son of God?"
Answer, "Son Ahman-the greatest of all the parts of God excepting Ahman."
"What is the name of men?"
"Sons Ahman," is the answer.
"What is the name of angels in the pure language?"
"Anglo-man."

B.  The Being and Kind of Being God Is:
The King Follett Discourse
President
Joseph Smith, Jr. delivered a discourse before about twenty thousand
Saints at the April conference of the Church, 1844, at the funeral sermon of Elder
King Follett.  He said: "God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man,
and sits enthroned in yonder heavens!  That is the great secret.  If the veil were rent
today, and the great God who holds this world in its orbit, and who upholds all worlds
and all things by his power, was to make himself visible,—I say, if you were to see him
today, you would see him like a man in form—like yourselves in all the person, image,
and very form as a man; for Adam was created in the very fashion, image and likeness
of God, and received instruction from, and walked, talked and conversed with him,
as one man talks and communes with another. . . . It is the first principle of the Gospel
to know for a certainty the Character of God, and to know that we may converse with
him as one man converses with another, and that he was once a man like us; yea, that
God himself, the Father of us all, dwelt on an earth, the same as Jesus Christ himself
did; and I will show it from the Bible."

002:   SON AHMAN: JESUS CHRIST (the Only Begotten Son of God)

Family of Son Ahman: Jesus Christ
Marriage:  John 20: 17-18  Jesus Christ asked Mary Magdalene to refrain
herself from attempting to touch or hold (chibuk) Him, at that time.   Jesus
had not yet ascended unto the Father.  Negiah, meaning "contact" or
"connection" or "touch" in Hebrew, is a notion in Jewish law (Halakha)
that restricts (or forbids) physical contact with, or touching of, a member
of the opposite sex, except for one's spouse, and immediate family.   Also,
when Mary Magdalene was asked by Jesus to speak to the brethren:
"I
ascend unto my dFather . . . ", women needed a husband's authorized
permission, to leave home, or to legally testify in family related matters.

003:   SONS AHMAN: ADAM (the son of JESUS CHRIST by Priesthood Ordinances)

Family of Sons Ahman: ADAM - (That portion listed in the Bible)
D&C 107: 56-57  And Adam stood up in the midst of the congregation; and,
notwithstanding he was bowed down with age, being full of the Holy Ghost,
apredicted whatsoever should befall his posterity unto the latest generation.
These things were all written in the book of aEnoch, and are to be testified
of in due time.

Moses 3: 20  And Adam gave anames to all cattle, and to the fowl
of the air, and to every beast of the field.  Adam could read and write.
Adam and Eve were exceedingly intelligent, both before and after the Fall.
______________________________________________________________
No lesson is more manifest in nature than that all living things do as
the Lord commanded in the Creation.  They reproduce "after their own kind."
(See Moses 2:12, 24.)  They follow the pattern of their parentage.  Everyone
knows that; every four-year-old knows that!  A bird will not become an animal
nor a fish.  A mammal will not beget reptiles, nor "do men gather … figs of thistles."
(Matt. 7:16.)

In the countless billions of opportunities in the reproduction of living things, one
kind does not beget another.  If a species ever does cross, the offspring cannot
reproduce.  The pattern for all life is the pattern of the parentage.

This is demonstrated in so many obvious ways, even an ordinary mind should
understand it.  Surely no one with reverence for God could believe that His children
evolved from slime or from reptiles.  (Although one can easily imagine that those
who accept the theory of evolution don't show much enthusiasm for genealogical
research!)  The theory of evolution, and it is a theory, will have an entirely different
dimension when the workings of God in creation are fully revealed.
(Boyd K. Packer)


Marriage:
"And I, God said unto mine Only Begotten, which was with me from the beginning:
Let us make man [not a separate man, but a complete man, which is husband and wife]
in our image, after our likeness; and it was so." (Moses 2:26.)  What a beautiful
partnership!  Adam and Eve were married for eternity by the Lord.  Such a marriage
extends beyond the grave.  All peoples should call for this kind of marriage.
(Spencer W. Kimball)
D&C 132: 38  David also received amany wives and concubines,
and also Solomon and Moses my servants, as also many others
of my servants, from the beginning of creation until this time;
and in nothing did they sin save in those things which they received
not of me.

Adam was 130 years old when Seth was born (Gen. 5:3).  And the days of Adam,
after he had begotten Seth, were 800 years, making him 930 years old when he
died (Gen. 5:4-5).  Lamech, the 9th from Adam, and the father of Noah, was 56
years old when Adam died; Methuselah, 243; Enoch, 308; Jared, 470;
Mahalaleel, 535; Cainan, 605; Enos, 695; and Seth, 800.  So that Lamech
(the father of Noah), Methuselah, Enoch, Jared, Mahalaleel, Cainan, Enos,
Seth, and Adam, were all living at the same time, and beyond all controversy
were all preachers of righteousness.
 

By the time of the end of the millennium, all of Adam's posterity who accept
the gospel must be
sealed together as one family by the power of the priesthood,
which is the power to
seal on earth, and it shall be sealed in heaven, and to bind
on earth, and it shall be bound in heaven.

D&C 128: 18  It is sufficient to know, in this case, that the earth will be smitten
with a bcurse unless there is a welding clink of some kind or other between the
fathers and the dchildren, upon some subject or other—and behold what is that
subject?  It is the ebaptism for the dead.  For we without them cannot be made
perfect; neither can they without us be made perfect.  Neither can they nor we
be made perfect without those who have died in the gospel also; for it is necessary
in the ushering in of the dispensation of the ffulness of times, which dispensation
is now beginning to usher in, that a whole and complete and perfect union, and
welding together of dispensations, and keys, and powers, and glories should take
place, and be revealed from the days of Adam even to the present time.  And not
only this, but those things which never have been revealed from the gfoundation
of the world, but have been kept hid from the wise and prudent, shall be revealed
unto hbabes and sucklings in this, the dispensation of the fulness of times.

geography (location):
Spring Hill, Daviess County, Missouri (USA) is named in scripture, by the Lord:
Adam-ondi-Ahman (Garden of Eden). 
The land where Adam dwelt was part
of the geographic area of the Garden of Eden; insomuch, that Adam and Eve
heard the voice of the Lord from the way toward the Garden of Eden, speaking
unto them.  To Adam and Eve, it appears to have been a familiar, remembered
sacred spot, where they had previously had personal contact with God;
contiguous, neighboring, or adjacent to Spring Hill, Daviess County, MO (USA).
The Garden of Eden was located on what is now the North American continent.
D&C 117: 8  Is there not room enough on the mountains of
aAdam-ondi-Ahman,
and on the plains of Olaha bShinehah, or the land where
cAdam dwelt, suggests
a different geographical configuration for the North American land mass.
According to Gen. 2: 10-14, a river went out of
aEden to water the garden;
and from thence it was bparted, and became into four heads.  The name of
the first is Pison: that is it which acompasseth the whole land of bHavilah,
where there is gold; And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium
and athe onyx stone.  And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same
is it that acompasseth the whole land of bEthiopia.  And the name of the third
river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria.  And the
fourth river is Euphrates.  The mountains of
aAdam-ondi-Ahman, by rainfall
or massive underground sources, brought forth a river that went out of the
Garden of
aEden, to water the garden; and from thence it was bparted, and
became into four heads, within the unified confines of one worldwide land
mass area; being an apparent elevated area, central to the location of the
current State of Missouri, in the USA, North American Continent (A.D. 2007).

life:
Adam  Besides the Fall having had to do with Adam and Eve, causing a
change to come over them, that change affected all human nature, all of
the natural creations, all of the creation of animals, plants--all kinds of life
were changed. The earth itself became subject to death.
(Harold B. Lee)
[The celestial environment in the Garden of Eden, including the celestial
bodies of Adam and Eve, had no Radioactive Decay: the death process.
After the Fall, the vegetarian animals and some plants became carnivorous.]

religion:
Adam  Moses 6: 64  And it came to pass, when the Lord had spoken with Adam,
our father, that Adam cried unto the Lord, and he was acaught away by the Spirit
of the Lord, and was carried down into the water, and was laid under the bwater,
and was brought forth out of the water.  Adam had, prior to the Fall, helped to make
and organize this world, as MICHAEL, the Archangel, in the spirit world, with
Jehovah and Eloheim.  He is the head patriarchal priesthood representative of
all mankind,
under Jesus Christ, the Only dBegotten of the Father, (through whom
the bworlds are and were created, and the cinhabitants thereof are begotten dsons
and daughters unto God).  [Note:  When Adam and Eve were cast out of the
Garden of Eden, they became subject to physical death, as well as being spiritually
excommunicated from the presence of God.  They were given Temple garments
to wear, made of skins (the first biological animal deaths), to protect them from
the temporal elements, during this probationary excommunicated time period.
Adam and Eve fell into a temporal married status.  After Adam received some
restoration of his priesthood ordinances, he baptized his wife Eve.  Adam and Eve
were the first members of the Church of the Firstborn, even Jesus Christ, upon
this earth.   Special priesthood ordinances were performed to restore the Eternal
Marriage Covenant, received from Jehovah in the Garden of Eden, prior to the fall.]
D&C 107: 53  Adam was the presiding High Priest D&C 107: 3 in the aHoly Priesthood,
after the bOrder of the Son of God.


time period:
This earth has a temporal existence of 7,000 years.  Radioactive Decay,
or the death process, did not begin upon this earth, prior to the partaking of
the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden.  The process of decay and physical
degeneration upon the earth was slower during the time of the early Patriarchs.


Q. What are we to understand by the book which John saw, which was asealed
on the back with seven seals?
A. We are to understand that it contains the revealed will, bmysteries,
and the works of God; the hidden things of his economy concerning this cearth
during the seven thousand years of its continuance, or its temporal existence.
Q. What are we to understand by the seven aseals with which it was sealed?
A. We are to understand that the first seal contains the things of the bfirst
thousand years, and the csecond also of the second thousand years,
and so on until the seventh.
Q. What are we to understand by the sounding of the atrumpets, mentioned
in the 8th chapter of Revelation?
A. We are to understand that as God bmade the world in six days, and on
the seventh day he finished his work, and csanctified it, and also formed man
out of the ddust of the earth, even so, in the beginning of the seventh thousand
years will the Lord God esanctify the earth, and complete the salvation of man,
and fjudge all things, and shall gredeem all things, except that which he hath not
put into his power, when he shall have sealed all things, unto the end of all things;
and the sounding of the trumpets of the seven angels are the preparing
and finishing of his work, in the beginning of the seventh thousand years—
the hpreparing of the way before the time of his coming.

Eleazar Ben Asher Ha-Levi, was a Medieval collector of ancient record
sources, "who lived somewhere in the Rhine Provinces at the end of the
thirteenth and the beginning of the fourteenth century."  Moses Gaster, Ph.D.,
translated the first part of this Bodleian Library (Oxford) ms., titled:
Sepher Ha-Zikhronot.  There are minute descriptions of the descendants
of Noah and the records state exactly how many children each of the Patriarchs
had, beginning with Adam and Eve, including names of the wives of each of
the Biblical personages.
  For example, "Adam begat three sons and three
daughters, Cain and his twin wife Qalmana, Abel and his twin wife Deborah,
and Seth and his twin wife Noba.  [special markings not included]  And Adam,
after he had begotten Seth, lived 700 years, and there were eleven sons
and eight daughters born to him.  These are the names of his sons:
'Eli, Sheel, Surei, 'Almiel, Berokh, Ke'al, Nahath, Zarhamah, Sisha, Mahtel
and 'Anat . . .and the names of his daughters are:
Havah, Gitsh, Hare, Bikha, Zifath, Hekhiah, Shaba, and 'Azin."

geography (location):
D&C 107: 53  Enoch came out from the land of aCainan, the land of his fathers,
which was a land of brighteousness in his day.
  Enoch journeyed from the land
of Cainan, by the sea east.   
Cainhannoch was a code name for "New York",
used during the time of persecution and hiding in early Church history.  Enoch
stood upon the place Mahujah and went to the mount aSimeon.  From there,
Enoch beheld in the valley of Shum a great people which dwelt in atents, which
were the people of Shum.  Enoch looked towards the north of mount Simeon
and beheld the people of aCanaan, which dwelt in tents.
  Enoch saw the people
of Canaan in a land barren and unfruitful, cursed with much heat and perpetual
bbarrenness.  Enoch beheld the land of Sharon, and the land of Enoch, and the
land of Omner, and the land of Heni, and the land of Shem, and the land of Haner,
and the land of Hanannihah, and all of their inhabitants.  There was a land that
came up out of the depth of the sea, in the time of Enoch.  There were mountains
and high places in the time of Enoch.  Enoch built a city that was called the City
of Holiness, even ZION.  Enoch met with Adam's posterity at Adam-ondi-Ahman,
located in Missouri, USA, now part of the North American continent.

Moses 7: 13  And so great was the afaith of Enoch that he led the people of
God, and their enemies came to battle against them; and he bspake the word
of the Lord, and the earth trembled, and the cmountains fled, even according
to his command; and the drivers of water were turned out of their course; and
the roar of the lions was heard out of the wilderness; and all nations feared
greatly, so epowerful was the word of Enoch, and so great was the power of
the language which God had given him.  Enoch 
There were agiants of the
land, during the time of Enoch, and a bcurse went forth upon all people that
fought against God.  T
his appears as the initial time frame for the development
and mutation of dinosaurs and other distorted, abnormally deformed creatures,
including a blackness that came upon all of the children of Canaan. 
Moses 7: 22
And Enoch also beheld the residue of the people which were the sons of Adam;
and they were a mixture of all the seed of Adam save it was the seed of Cain,
for the seed of Cain were black, and had not place among them.  God cursed
the
  bresidue of the people during the time of the City of Enoch, and the power
of Satan was upon all the face of the earth, except for a few select righteous
posterity that survived until the time of Noah.

righteousness unto the people of God.  And it came to pass in his days,

all the inhabitants of the earth; and he beheld, and lo, aZion, in process

Their

"Mother of the King":
                  Pharaoh, who began the Patriarchal Royalty of the Pharaohs
                  of Egypt.  The worldwide Flood
[2344 B.C.], wiped out all previous
                  settlements in the Nile valley.  The first stone ('Step Pyramid')
                  built in Egypt, is either the remains of a pre flood building; or,
                  a constructed pyramid, begun no earlier than the time of the first
                  Pharaoh, the grandson of Ham, circa 2300 B.C.  Egyptian Royalty

Secret signs,

                  building the complex structure), could have initiated confusion,
                  with disagreement and labor unrest concerning any unequal work
                  compensation.  God, by the withdrawal of His spirit, caused the
                  scattering of the posterity of Japheth.  The Book of Mormon,

Flood Legends from Around the World . . . "The Cornish Tynners
hold a strong imagination, that in the withdrawing of Noahs floud
to the Sea, the same took his course from East to West, violently
breaking vp, and forcibly carrying with it, the earth, trees, and
Rocks, which lay any thing loosely, neere the vpper face of the
ground.  To confirme the likelihood of which supposed truth, they
doe many times digge vp whole and huge Timber trees which they
conceiue at that deluge to haue beene ouerturned and whelmed:"
Ether 13: 2  Confirms as fact that the Flood was worldwide in scope.
From the Book of Mormon, after the waters had areceded from off the
face of this bland (North and South America), it became a choice land
above all other lands, a chosen land of the Lord; wherefore the Lord
would have that all men should cserve him who dwell upon the face thereof.
In a wider sense all of North and South America are Zion (HC 6: 318-19).
Moses 7: 43  Wherefore Enoch saw that Noah built an aark; and that
the Lord smiled upon it, and held it in his own hand; but upon the residue
of the wicked the bfloods came and swallowed them up.

D&C 107: 52  Noah was ten years old when he was aordained
under the hand of Methuselah.  Appeared after death as the Angel Gabriel.
D&C 84: 14-15 
Noah was a High Priest in the aHoly Priesthood,
after the bOrder of the Son of God.


time period: 
2944 B.C. to 1994 B.C.
Lamech was 182 when Noah was born (Gen. 5:28).  Moses 8: 12  And Noah
was four hundred and fifty years old, and abegat Japheth; and forty-two
years afterward he begat bShem of her who was the mother of Japheth,
and when he was five hundred years old he begat cHam.
  And Noah was
asix hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
[2344 B.C.] 
Archbishop Ussher calculated the Flood date as 2349 B.C.
Moses informs us that Noah lived after the flood 350 years; making him
950 years old when he died (Gen. 9:28-29).  Noah
was 84 years old when
Enos died, 176 when Cainan died, 234 when Mahalaleel died, 366 when
Jared died, 595 when Lamech died, and 600 when Methuselah died.  We
can see from this that Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared, Methuselah,
Lamech, and Noah all lived on the earth at the same time; and that Enos,
Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared, Methuselah and Lamech, were all acquainted
with both Adam and Noah.

Research Notes:
A.  Louis Bourguet (1678-1742), listed in Dictionary of Scientific Biography,
Vol. XV, published by the American Council of Learned Societies, made a
philological investigation of the Etruscan alphabet (ancient pre-Roman Italy),
and was convinced it derived from ancient Hebrew.  He studied Hebrew and
the Mishnah with a Rabbi.  Louis Bourguet believed in the common origin of
all peoples and languages and questioned the presumed great age and isolation
of the people of China.  He declared that the great world wide Flood was but
the amplification of normal processes and the "exceptional convergence,
ordained by God, of ordinary causes."  Louis Bourguet explored fossil sites
throughout Europe, suggesting they were from animal and vegetable origins.
The Testimony of Archaeology notes: "Both the Hebrew, the Samaritan,
the Greek writings current in Palestine during the two centuries before
Christ, and the old Babylonian traditions, assert a transmission of writings
about creation down from the beginning of time to Enoch and Noah."
The kept genealogical pedigrees therefore suggest language origination
and later distortions of a pure universal language that began to fragment
with population movements and family group isolation, in the time period
of circa 2944 B.C. to 1994 B.C. and later.  This is what credible written
evidence suggests, within the created and preserved ancient genealogies.

B.  Biblical statements concerning the earth being corrupt, with all flesh
upon the earth being corrupted, are mentioned during the time of the
Patriarch Noah, 2944 to 1994 B.C.  There were giants on the earth
in those days that attempted to take away the life of Noah, indicating
from Holy Scripture, the time frame for the worldwide culmination of
the development and mutation of dinosaurs, plants and other distorted,
abnormally deformed creatures.  The Flood appears as a gift from
God, a baptism of the whole earth, to save all mankind and all flesh
also, from genetic destruction and deformed mutations.


"There is definite evidence that at one time, and I am convinced it
was in antediluvian days since the time of Adam, the climate of the
earth was just as Elder Parley P. Pratt and President John Taylor
have described it.  Evidence is found in the Arctic that tropical, or
semi-tropical plants, grew there in abundance.  The frozen animals
spoken of by Sir Henry H. Howorth were frozen at the time of the
flood when the climatic conditions of the earth were changed . . . ."

The journal Nature news, published online on 31 May 2006,
notes
that a "core of sediment pulled from the bottom of the Arctic Ocean
has confirmed" (that at some period in the past), "the North Pole
was as warm as a balmy summer day." . . . "it also seems that the
North Pole began to cool at about the same time as the Antarctic.
This timing suggests that climate was being driven by a global factor,
such as atmospheric levels of greenhouse gases, rather than some-
thing more local, such as geological upheaval."  . . . "the atmosphere
at the time was exceptionally rich in greenhouse gases . . . amplified
by an additional factor — possibly heat-trapping stratospheric clouds
or hurricane-induced ocean mixing."  Excluding the incorrect time
periods, scientific
confirmation is given of an abrupt worldwide Flood.
CBS SCI-TECH online News, 31 May 2006, includes: "Imagine a world
where there are dense sequoia trees and cypress trees like in Florida
that ring the Arctic Ocean . . . Researchers are not sure what caused
the sudden boost of carbon dioxide that set the greenhouse effect on
broil.  Possible culprits could be huge releases of methane from the
ocean, gigantic continent-sized burning of trees, or lots of volcanic
eruptions. "

"We are led to believe, then, that in the beginning the mountains
were not as high as they are now . . . When the valleys are exalted
it will be the natural result of the mountains being debased or made
low.  In this way the earth will be restored to its primitive condition."
(Man: His Origin and Destiny, 422-423, by Joseph Fielding Smith.

All human society was without affection, and they bhated their own blood.
Among all the workmanship of God's hands, there has never been such
great bwickedness.  The
asons of God saw the daughters of men, that they
were fair; and they btook them cwives of all which they chose.  In other
words, men who were baptized into the ancient church, rejected their own
priesthood responsibilities, intentionally marrying wives with attractive,
physical beauty, that were spiritually devoid of faith in God.

C. 
World Population Since Creation
" . . . Even if we use rates appropriate for the present world (x = 1 and C = 1.5),
over 3 billion people could easily have been on the earth at the time of Noah."

D.  The Revision of Ancient History: Revised Chronologies

E.  Anderson, James. Royal Genealogies: or, The Genealogical Tables
of Emperors, Kings and Princes, from Adam to These Times
. London:
James Bettenham, 1732. [available in a microform edition]  Under Table II.
The PATRIARCHS after the flood of the Line of Japhet, mention is made
of Japhet's son Gomer, the father of Riphath . . . from whom afterwards came
the Colonies . . . that first inhabited Great Britain and Ireland . . .  Mention is
also made of Japhet's son Javan, the father of Dodanim or Rodanim, who
dwelt in the south and east of France.  The Chronicles of Jerahmeel, page 58,
notes "And Faneg, son of Dodanim, was the first to ride the ships of the sea";
the children of Dodanim, Iteb, Beath, and Faneg. 
Milesian ancestrial records
show Magog, not Dodanim, as the father of Baath, Jobhath and Fathochta.
It is obvious some creative individual (s) in the past, tried to establish Biblical
connections to Ireland's historical records, using apparent Irish pedigree names.

External evidence from non Irish sources, historically compared with the ancient
Irish pedigree's internal evidence, eliminates earlier
Japhetic connections.
A study of Irish source records, includes t
he "Line of Heremon", from Baoth
to Milesius, which appears in fact as an anti-Semitic rewriting of Biblical text,
using Bible analogy into a "gentile" pedigree; such as "In his youth Gaodhal
was stung in the neck by a serpent and was immediately brought to Moses,
who by laying his rod upon the wounded place instantly cured him . . ."  Niul
being "invited into Egypt by Pharaoh the King; who gave him the land of Campus
Cyruset, near the Red Sea, to inhabit" is an apparent rerun of Abraham going
down into Egypt.  This carries down in the recorded pedigree of Lamhfionn, for
"Ireland, which was the place destined for their future and lasting abode and
settlement; and that not they but their posterity after three hundred years should
arrive there."  Thus, a disjointed rewrite of Abraham's journey and promise to
him and his posterity, to possess the land of Canaan, to which they later returned,
or the Exodus when Moses was 80 years old.
