Chapter 3 - Ancient or Just Old?

Below, Isaiah mentions the days of Joshua as "days of old" when they came into the land. Isaiah lived around 700 BCE.

𝑰𝙨𝒂𝙞𝒂𝙝 51:9

9 Aᴡᴀᴋᴇ, ᴀᴡᴀᴋᴇ, ᴘᴜᴛ ᴏɴ sᴛʀᴇɴɢᴛʜ, O ᴀʀᴍ ᴏꜰ Yᴀʜᴜᴀʜ; Aᴡᴀᴋᴇ ᴀs ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴀʏs ᴏꜰ ᴏʟᴅ, ᴛʜᴇ ɢᴇɴᴇʀᴀᴛɪᴏɴs ᴏꜰ ʟᴏɴɢ ᴀɢᴏ. Wᴀs ɪᴛ ɴᴏᴛ Yᴏᴜ ᴡʜᴏ ᴄᴜᴛ Rᴀʜᴀʙ ɪɴ ᴘɪᴇᴄᴇs, Wʜᴏ ᴘɪᴇʀᴄᴇᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ᴅʀᴀɢᴏɴ?

 

In Isaiah’s case “𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒈𝒐” can also be “𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝙝6924 - 𝑸𝒆𝒅𝒆𝒎. The translators understood “𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑡” implies "𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦 𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑔 𝑎𝑔𝑜, 𝑛𝑜 𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑟 𝑖𝑛 𝑒𝑥𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒" and most translations preferred “𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑔 𝑎𝑔𝑜” in translation as Rahab and Joshua were less than 1,000 years before Isaiah. The definition of ancient is “𝑛𝑜 𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑟 𝑖𝑛 𝑒𝑥𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑏𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡𝑜 𝑡𝑒 𝑉𝐸𝑅𝑌 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝑝𝑎𝑠𝑡." Since the Mosaic Covenant was still very much active and "in existence" it does not qualify as "ancient" but "long ago" in Isaiah.

However, we are focusing on Jeremiah’s prophecy of the lying pen of the scribe. Ancient in Jeremiah 6:16 is

𝒉5769 - 𝑶𝒍𝒂𝒎 which means “𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑞𝑢𝑖𝑡𝑦, 𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑔 𝑑𝑢𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛, 𝑛𝑜 𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑟, 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑎𝑛𝑦𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒” and is translated as “𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒕” not “𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒈𝒐”. Ancient to Jeremiah who lived around 500 BCE would then be around the time before Abraham (Age of Taurus). Jeremiah lived 900 years after Moses which is not “ancient” to his day and within the same Age (of Aries).

Abraham lived in the 18th century BCE. Dating back from Abraham to Creation would all be considered “ancient” to all mankind including Jeremiah. When looking for “the way” or the “ancient path” we refuse to walk and the "word that can be seen” that we refuse to admit we must look past the Age of Aries into the Age of Taurus which was "ancient" to Jeremiah. The book of Ezra provides an account of the Jews' regathering, their struggle to survive, and to rebuild what had been destroyed during the Babylonian captivity. We see concerning the prophet Ezra/Esdras:

Further elaborated in the book of II Esdras of Ezra:

We see above that the "Ancient Path", now including Moses, was lost in Babylonian captivity. The world was in total darkness and the "light" no longer shined. Every word had to be restored and much was still "transmitted secretly to the wise". Who are the "wise men" in the Bible? Astrologers! h2450 - chakam. This is why the only ones to find Yahusha when he was born were astrologers translated “wise men”!


 

Isaiah 48:3-6
3 I foretold the former things long ago (
written in the stars on Day 4 of Creation), My Mouth Announced them (to My Prophets who all read The Heavenly Scroll) and I made them known (to all mankind - Deuteronomy 4:19); then suddenly I acted, and the message proclaimed by the stars/constellations came to pass. 4 For I knew how stubborn you were; your neck muscles were iron; your forehead was bronze. 5 Therefore I told you these things (in The Heavenly Scroll) long ago (at Creation); before they were fulfilled I Announced the Plan of Salvation to you (in The Heavenly Scroll Psalm 19) so that you could not say, ‘My images brought them about; my wooden image and metal god ordained them.’ 6 You have heard these things (that the stars Proclaim day after day, night after night to all mankind as a witness Psalm 19); look at all the stars/constellation (in The Heavenly Scroll). WILL YOU NOT ADMIT THEM?

Israel started down the path to two Hellenized religions (Judaism and Christianity) then refused to admit or walk the Ancient Path. The Heavenly Scroll was lost. Israel and its priesthood fell into pagan worship. Therefore so did the scribes who elaborated on the Torah, which was faithfully transmitted to Ezra and his scribes, with unproven often made-up "oral traditions". This was the state of the "word" in Yahusha's day, which he pushed back against.

𝙈𝒂𝙧𝒌 7:13

Tʜᴜs ʏᴏᴜ ɴᴜʟʟɪꜰʏ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴏʀᴅ ᴏꜰ Yᴀʜᴜᴀʜ ʙʏ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴛʀᴀᴅɪᴛɪᴏɴ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ʜᴀɴᴅᴇᴅ ᴅᴏᴡɴ (𝑜𝑟𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦). Aɴᴅ ʏᴏᴜ ᴅᴏ ᴍᴀɴʏ ᴛʜɪɴɢs ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴛʜᴀᴛ.”

When did the Israelites worship other gods? It was only during the Babylonian Exile (about 586 B.C.E. to 500 B.C.E) and then followed in the Second Temple period (500 B.C.E. to 70 C.E.). From that point on... Rabbinical Judaism took over and totally corrupted the Torah and Prophets with oral traditions called the Talmud.

Oldest Torah Scroll

The Bologna Torah Scroll (1155–1225 CE) is the world's oldest complete surviving Torah scroll. The scroll contains the full text of the five Books of Moses in Hebrew. Concrete archaeological evidence bearing on the dating of the Torah is found in early manuscript fragments, such as those found among the Dead Sea Scrolls. The earliest manuscript fragments of the Torah date to the late third or early second centuries BCE.
