The Great Flood
CHAPTER
7
The Children of Light depart
with Noah on the Ark as the Earth sinks into forty years of
convulsions, cataclysms and great storms. Aboard the Ark,
a ship from another world, Noah and his people learn many
wondrous things. As they return to Earth after forty
years, they begin to create the civilization that would come to
be known as the mythical Atlantis.
1 And it
came to pass that Noah and all the Children of Light gathered at
Kamoya, walked up the ramp and into the ship of the sky, their
eyes filled with wonder at every step.
2 They
were followed by great hoards of animals who entered the ship in
various ways. Birds flew up into the portal with ease,
while most of the animals took much longer walking up the long,
switchback ramp.
3 Over
one hundred people came down from the sky ship and shepherded
the animals who were small or crawled or moved slowly, leading
some and carrying others, and taking care to keep all the
animals in the center away from the precipitous edge of the
ramp.
4 And
the animals though wild, were all as docile as domestic pets and
resisted not at all to be touched by the people of the sky ship.
5 Once
all the animals had boarded and the people of the sky ship had
returned, the ramp was drawn up inside the ship and it silently
lifted high into the sky.
6 Though
it appeared black from the outside, from the inside the entire
outer hull of the ship was transparent and the Children of Light
looked in awe and incredulity, touched somewhat with fear, as
the ship rose higher and higher into the sky and they saw the
land below recede until the details could no longer be seen.
7 The
Children of Light were led into a large room and once assembled,
Jelatana entered, and standing on a dais, she addressed them,
saying, “Good people of light, it is an honor to be among you.
I am Jelatana, the leader for a time, of the people of this
ship.
8 I know
you have many questions for we have heard as you have asked them
among yourselves. I will answer them now that you may know we
aspire to be your trusted friends.
9 Some
of you have wondered if we are Elohim. We are not. We are
Alamars created in the image of the Elohim, even as you are.
But our people were created and have existed long before your
first ancestors were born upon this world you call Earth.
10 We
come from one of the tiny stars you see in the sky. I know you
cannot comprehend that at this time, but you each will be
assigned a personal teacher and in time your knowledge and
understanding will grow, such as it can.
11 We
are from a planet like your Earth called Oolar. Like you, we
honor and follow the light of our Heavenly Father and Mother.
Like you, we are led by a Prophet called by Elohim.
12 And
Elohim spoke to our Prophet who lives on our home world, whose
name is Deltarni, and told him that your world was soon to
suffer great calamities because of the wickedness of the people,
and that a ship, even our ship, the Ark, was to be sent to bring
to safety the Children of Light, and male and females in
multitudes of all the animals of Earth, before the great and
dreadful day when the Earth would begin to shake and convulse.
13 There
is so much more to tell you, but much of it will be difficult
for you to comprehend without first having a more sure
foundation.
14
Therefore, I invite you to turn and greet the person who shall
now come to you, males to males and females to females. These
are your mentors and they will teach you step by step, that your
minds may be opened and your understanding filled.
15 We
shall be together for forty of your years. Very quickly I hope
we can become as one family, that you will be able to cherish
your time among us and that all of us may grow from our shared
experiences.”
16
Jelatana then stepped down from the dais and the Oolarians who
had been assigned as mentors came forth from the outer part of
the room and came to greet those to whom they had been
partnered.
17
During the next weeks the Ark came down to hover over several
other spots on the Earth and lowered its ramp to take up many
more animals that had lived too far away to travel to Kamoya,
but had gathered at the call of Elohim.
18 They
also came for forty-four more adults and their children, who
were Children of Light. Though they lived far from Kamoya and
knew not the people of Noah, Elohim the Mother had come to them
in dreams and they were prepared when the ship of the sky came
for them.
19 And
on the day that the last Child of Light was aboard the Ark and
the last animal had been taken into it, the Earth began to
convulse, and the ground began to erupt liquid fire, and the sky
darkened, and the rain began to fall, and day became as night.
20 One
solar year passed with fury upon the Earth, while aboard the
Ark, despite the best intentions of both the people of Earth and
the people of Oolar, they had not become as one family, and
among most, the gulf between their understanding of almost
everything, was very great.
21 And
it came to pass that Noah and Jelatana sat down together, along
with her two counselors and the sons of Noah, to try to
understand why the chasm between their two peoples remained so
wide.
22 And
Noah answered Jelatana's query, saying, “Your people are aloof.
They speak to us in ways we do not comprehend, of things we know
not. And there are but one hundred and eighty eight of us, but
of your people there is no end, for you are many thousands, and
we often feel very isolated because of our small numbers and
ignorance of almost everything you know and understand.”
23 “We
have tried with great patience to teach our brother and sisters
of Earth”, Rabak interjected. “But honestly and truthfully,
they are a very primitive people. We are so far advanced from
the reality they have known that even after a year, many of them
seem to still think we are Elohim, and seem to make little
effort to understand the things we try to explain.”
24 “It
is true”, added Gensai. “You try to explain the simplest of
things to them, such as how to grow a plant hydroponically,
and they simply stare at you as if their brain is asleep. They
seem unable to comprehend that plants can grow without soil.
Even though they can see it happening, they seem to think it is
some miracle of Elohim and not something that they can do.”
25 “We
try to understand your ways.” explained Yapeth. “But it is
difficult, for it seems that all we thought we knew is wrong,
and though we can see a new reality, such as plants that grow
without soil, the experience of our lives still tell us that we
must have soil to grow plants.”
26 “Nor
are we accustomed to seeing people walk about with so few
garments, especially women,” added Ham. “Or to see women
commanding men. Our women have always wielded great power, more
than most men, but they do it in support of our community, in
circles of women, not as women in positions of power over men.”
27 All
three of the Oolarians laughed at the words of Ham, and Gensai,
said unto him, “We are more modest than the people of most
worlds in the coverings of our bodies, and if you have trouble
with our attire, we best not take you to Feyranth or Yobnog, or
any of the many worlds where they wear no clothes at all, but adorn
themselves only in jewelry and thin harnesses embedded with
jewels.”
28 “The
Elohim permit such things even while our world is to be upheaved
for far less?” exclaimed Shem.
29 “Why
would the Elohim be concerned with nakedness?” asked Gensai in
honest confusion. It is how they created us. It is not
nakedness that is a sin, but immoral acts that are committed,
whether naked or clothed.
30 We
observed your world as we approached, and it is the most immoral
we have ever seen. The fact that most of the people wear a
great deal of clothing to cover their nakedness has not
prevented their descent into wickedness.”
31 “As
for women commanding men”, interjected Jelatana. “I suppose you
put me at the top of that list. But aboard the Ark, there are
none that command, neither men nor women. Each of us only
serves the others in the ways we are most capable and at their
discretion.
32 I did
not seek out my position. Even as our Prophet is called by the
Elohim, so I was called by my people aboard the Ark to lead them
because of my experience. On any day I may step down by my own
choice, or they may call another to take my place. It is an
honor to be called to serve our brothers and sisters however we
can.”
33 Shem
was about to reply, but Noah held up his hand so that he would
refrain. And Noah spoke unto them all saying, “We are speaking
much of our differences, and surely they are a great gulf, but I
do not see how we are attempting to walk a common path that
leads to a greater good for both our people and the feeling of
one family that we both have claimed to desire.
34 And
there is more to consider here than simply learning to
understand the ways of one another or for us to comprehend even
a small part of your greater knowledge.
35 For
through all of this journey my people are grieving. They are
hurting terribly in their hearts as they look through the walls
of your ship each day and watch their world, their home, the
place where they left many loved ones behind, wracked by the
most awful storms, with mountains falling, the seas rising, and
many other terrible calamities that strike dread into their
hearts, even though they are here safely aboard the Ark.”
36 The
Oolarians nodded their heads in understanding with the words of
Noah, and after consulting among themselves for a couple of
minutes in their own language, Jelatana said unto him, “We have
not sufficiently considered your pain at what you see transpire
each day upon your world, nor done enough to help you comprehend
our world, which is the Ark. You are the prophet among us Noah,
what would Elohim have us do?”
37 Noah
considered her question for a moment and closed his eyes and
reached out to the Elohim in his mind. And they answered him as
quick as he thought his question and Noah opened his eyes and
spoke unto those in the room, saying, “It is not enough that you
teach one to one with personal mentors, for it is too much like
a parent and a child, even a babe.
38 If we
are to be with you for thirty-nine more years we have more than
enough time to learn all that you know, if you will teach us in
a serious manner.
39
Therefore, set up schools for us that we may all gather, as we
are prepared to understand that which is taught, both children
and adults, and teach us line upon line, knowledge upon
knowledge that we may come to a fullness of understanding.”
40
Hearing his words Noah's sons nodded in agreement, but Jelatana
and her counselors conferred quietly among themselves and seemed
far less enthusiastic. And Jelatana spoke unto Noah and his
sons, saying, “For you and the other Alamars that will survive
on Earth, it is important that you evolve in your knowledge and
society on a path of self-discovery, otherwise both as
individuals and as a people you will develop weaknesses of
judgment.
41 If we
were to teach you all that we know and then put you back upon
the Earth among people who are even more primitive than you are,
you would be like gods to them and the chance of creating an
imbalance of society and civilization, between those with
greater knowledge and those without, would be too great.
42
Perhaps not you, but surely your descendants would be tempted to
exercise dominion over the other people of the Earth and this is
not the way of the Elohim.”
43 Noah
nodded his head in agreement and said unto her, “You speak the
truth in all that you say Jelatana, and I know not how this will
be resolved. But you asked me to inquire of the Elohim as a
prophet, and this I did, and the answer I gave unto you is the
light they gave unto me.”
44 And
it came to pass that according to the word of the Prophet Noah,
schools were set up on the Ark that the people of Earth might
learn all that the Oolarians had to teach.
45 The
Oolarians taught them even as they would their own children from
their earliest days in school. Thus they learned the Oolarian
alphabet and language as well as their history and the history
of the entire universe that was known to the Oolarians.
46 Some
progressed more than others because of their greater desire and
perseverance, and these were sent to schools of specialized
learning beyond the basic education. Thus, some of the people
of Earth became knowledgeable in many of the advanced sciences of
the Oolarians involving healing and engineering and
manufacturing and other fields of endeavor.
47 And
the people of Noah reciprocated, passing on their knowledge of
Earth plants and herbs and of sewing and weaving and many other
skills to the Oolarians.
48 As
all aboard the Ark were devoted to the Elohim, Noah gained a
special place among them, for he was a Prophet of Elohim, and
the Oolarian Prophet lived far away on their home world, a place
none on the Ark had ever been.
49 And
among the higher priesthood of both the Oolarians and his
own people, Noah taught the greater paths and powers of spirit,
and the kinship of spirit that formed between all of them was
very strong indeed.
49 A
special bond also formed between many of the women as the
Oolarian women knew of the powers given by Elohim only in
theory; none had actually ever attempted to manifest their
inherent gifts.
50 And
it became the great delight of the women of Earth to teach their
Oolarian sisters how to use the gifts of power the Elohim had
given to all Children of Light, but that were most easily
manifested by women.
51 And
thirty-nine years passed swiftly away, and even as the Earth
below was convulsed in the throes of rebirth, the people aboard
the Ark had experienced a time of great bliss and had become as
one family.
52 Thus,
when the day quickly approached for the return of the people of
Earth to their home world, there was a great sadness among
everyone aboard the Ark.
53 At
this time difficult decisions that had been avoided also needed
to be faced and resolved, and for this, Noah and the Council of
Elders met with Jelatana, her two counselors, and a body of
twelve other Oolarian advisers.
54 And
Jelatana spoke to them, saying, “My friends, my family, the time
has passed so quickly and now we must say goodbye to our
brothers and sisters of Earth whom we have come to love and be
loved by.
55 When
we first began this journey together and began to teach the
people of Earth the knowledge of Oolar, we postponed deciding
how we would deal with the greater knowledge they had gained
when it came time to return them to their primitive world.
56 We
can delay no longer, for the time is upon us, for the fires on
the Earth have gone out and the waters recede.
57 We
meet together now with the Council of Elders from Earth and the
Council of Advisors from the Ark. Let us discuss among us how
to resolve this conflict and make a good decision by the
unanimous agreement of everyone.”
58 After
an opening prayer, there followed many hours of discussions with
a break for meals twice. Two issues emerged as the thorniest:
How to return the people of Noah to the Earth without disrupting
the natural evolutionary balance, and how to deal with the
seventeen families that had blossomed from marriages between the
people of Earth and those of Oolar?
59 At
first, many of the Oolarians insisted that the memories of all
those returning to Earth must be taken away for the time they
had lived aboard the Ark, to insure that the natural evolution
of the people of Earth would continue.
60 But
Noah and the Council of Elders objected strongly to that
suggestion for they had gained much knowledge in their time
aboard the Ark, which they treasured and were unwilling to lose.
61 “But
it is not something you will miss,” explained one of the
Oolarians. “You will be returned as you came to us, with no
memory of your time aboard the Ark or the things you have
learned. You cannot miss that which you do not remember.”
62 “If
you cut off all of our right arms and took away our memory that
we ever had right arms, we would still miss them, for we would
be able to do less with one than we could with two,” interjected
a member of the Council of Elders. “Thanks to Oolarian training
in engineering I now know how to build structures that will
withstand the storms of time. How does giving this up and
returning to a state of ignorance help the evolution of man?”
63 And
so the discussions continued, back and forth with no
resolutions, let alone unanimous decisions.
64 Among
the Oolarians who had married people from Earth there was an
equal trepidation, for they too were threatened with memory loss
as a condition for returning to Earth with their families.
65 Nor
could their families remain aboard the Ark, for the Earth had
been depleted during the forty year cataclysm and needed all of
the survivors aboard the Ark to return to help the planet renew.
66 And
it came to pass that the meeting of the Councils ended for the
night without resolution.
67
Before he slept, Noah prayed to Elohim asking for guidance and a
solution for the problems that seemed unsolvable.
68 And
the Elohim heard the prayers of Noah and Heavenly Mother came to
him in a dream and showed unto him all that must be done to
reach unanimity, and for the benefit of the people of Noah, and
the Earth that was their home.
69 The
next day the councils met once again. But before they could
renew their disagreements of the previous day, Noah rose and
spoke to them saying, “I speak to you now as a Prophet of God,
even the voice of the Elohim who guide us in all things of great
consequence, even such as the things we speak of today.
70 Last
night I prayed to be shown a resolution to the questions we have
pondered and discussed and our Heavenly Mother came to me while
I slept and showed me the true path.
71 It is
not good that knowledge should be taken that has been gained by
either experience or dedication to learning, for then the reward
for achievement would be a punishment, and the memory of this
would linger even if the memory of the knowledge was taken, and
such lingering would cause a loathing for learning that would
harm man for generations unborn.
72 But
neither can we who have been given knowledge beyond the
comprehension of the survivors of Earth be allowed to live among
them with this knowledge, for surely we would be raised upon the
dais as gods, and become perverted by our power and greater
knowledge, and succumb to evil, even as the fallen angels, which
was the beginning of the end of Earth.
73 Would
we dare to put ourselves in a place where these forty wrenching
years of rebirth might be repeated again someday in the future
because of our actions?
74 But
there is a solution. One that will allow us to return to Earth
and the Oolarians who are now part of our families as well,
without the loss of any memories or any threat to the evolution
of man. This the Elohim have shown to me clearly.
75
Therefore, open your ears and hear, people of Earth and Oolar,
for this is the path of light that Elohim has revealed to me:
76 The
Ark shall bring us to a blessed island where no man lives, upon
a warm sea with a land bathed in sunlight from Elohim, where the
weather is almost always ideal, and life in all forms from plant
to animal to fish flourishes in great abundance.
77 Tall
mountains rise into the mist upon this island and many crops of
different varieties can be grown at the various elevations.
78 Upon
this spot we will live, and our posterity shall build beautiful
cities, both on the island and floating upon the sea.
79 We
shall live a life of purity, and even as on the Ark none shall
have disease, and as in the days of father Adam, great shall be
the age to which we live.
80 The
knowledge and understandings of the devices of the Ark shall
come with us, as will all of our knowledge, that we might build
not just a new Eden, but a better Eden than any of our
forefathers could have imagined.
81 We
will be far from the remaining people of the world and they will
know of us only vaguely, like people of a mist, who come from
the sea in strange ships to trade and then vanish again to a
place unknown.
82 Some
of our posterity will migrate to other remote islands and in a
like manner establish outposts of our civilization.
83 So
too will we and our posterity, go forth upon the Earth as it is
ready, and spread again the light of Elohim upon all parts of it
that the darkness will never again reign over the light.
84 And
we must never forget the cataclysm that has happened upon the
Earth and all of its people for the last forty years, and this
because of the evil that men had become.
85 Let
the story of this cataclysm be passed down to all the people of
the Earth lest they ever again let darkness reign and the Earth
need to be cleansed once more.
86 And
let us pray every day in humility and thankfulness for the
blessings that are ours, and strive to live worthily of all the
Elohim have given us.
87 And
take heed: where great things have been given, great things are
expected, and we are asked to be a light all the moments of our
lives.
88 Know
with a surety, that if we, or our posterity, ever stray from the
path of light, all that we have been given shall be taken away,
not in forty years as we have seen, but in a single day and
night.
89 Teach
that well to our children, that such a day will never come.
Remember to live worthy of the blessings you have been given,
and to reflect the light given to you that others may bask in
its warmth as well.”
90 And
it came to pass that as Noah had spoken, so it was accepted in
unanimity.
91 The
following day the Ark hovered over an immense island in an
archipelago of thousands of smaller islands and with tearful
goodbyes for the Oolarians they would never see again, the
people of Noah went down the long ramp back onto the Earth.
92 And
with them came seventeen Oolarians who had married among the
people of Noah while on the Ark. Typical of their race they
were tall and blue-eyed, with a mixture of blond and redheads
among them. And their goodbyes were even more tearful and heart
wrenching as they parted with the families they had known all of
their lives to embrace a primitive world just reborn.
93 And
these were the Oolarians who came to live among the people of
Earth, by their age, oldest to youngest, being ten males and
seven females: Atalas, Aiainia, Colches, Thrinchea, Barean,
Guache, Aquilaz, Olgy, Chramat, Saka, Karad, Hespar, Blest,
Naamlin, Gresus, Zeunean and Nibirum.
94
During the next days the Ark visited many places upon the Earth,
repopulating the animals upon the reborn lands and seas,
prudently putting pairs of like animals in several locations to
maintain the strength of the bloodlines.
95 As
they passed closely over the Earth, the Oolarians were surprised
to look down upon many survivors of the cataclysms of the last
forty years.
96
Seeing them, Gensai commented to Rabak that it seemed that more
survived than perished. And Rabak answered, saying, “Hopefully
with more respect for the power of Elohim and a greater
willingness to live the light when it is shown to them.”
97 And
so came the Children of Light back onto the Earth and so began
the Second Dispensation of Elohim upon the Earth.
Notes to Chapter 7:
This chapter was the briefest overview of what occurred during
the forty years Noah and his people were aboard the Ark. A
several hundred page book could be written just to cover that
amazing period in detail. A couple of things worthy of mention
that are not detailed in the chapter include the fact that the
return of Noah, his people and the seventeen Oolarians and the
advanced civilization they established, was the basis for the
later stories of Atlantis. However, contrary to modern theories
that place Atlantis either in the Mediterranean or in the
Atlantic Ocean, the actual location of the return of Noah was a
large island in the eastern Indian Ocean.
This is
a somewhat incongruous chapter with all the others in the
Revelation Bible as it takes place in what would seem to be a
science fiction setting and deals more with practical matters
than spiritual ones. However, this chapter is literally true,
and as astounding a premise as it sets, pointed now in the right
direction, it can all be proved by modern science and archeology
if anyone cares to follow the leads.
In the
interest of modern science, we would also note that the Ark was
both levitated and propelled by a gravity drive that interacted
and utilized the gravity field of the Earth, or any other
celestial body, even those a great distance away, when traveling
through space.
One
other note that may be of interest to some, is that during the
forty years on the Ark they had friendly contact on three
different occasions with other space traveling races of
non-Alamar origin.
