I don't get the relevance.

Not that it matters for sh*t. Any of our Hebrew scholars here care to comment what the original Hebrew word in Elijah acutally meant?

Thanks.
In Hebrew there are 3 different levels of "Heaven(s)". The atmosphere, space, and God's throne.

The one, that you remember as the sky, is actually an imagination in your mind. Tte other that you imagine as the abode of god, is also an imagination. Well, you can exchange the weighting that you give to one or the other. You can also identify one with the other. And then you can imagine a third, which is again different. Just try some times.

The ancients knew the dual nature of what tarot refers to as The High-Priestess.

See the explainations on http://otaku.onlinehome.de/bible.html


The previously posted picture shows an allergory to the 11 tarot key "Justice", with a lion of key 8 "Strength" in the background. Well, Jealousy because of Hesezekial as the lion is of stone and not living like on key 8. It's just a matter of pov. The 8 card conceals the miracle that is aka the stone of the wise. a consolidation of father and son.

Well, this seems to have taken a rather bizarre turn from a discussion about UFOs in the Bible...

And I'm starting to have serious doubts about that...

Sadly: "I knew, It all depends on me. He'll never learn to make own decisions."

Again, I don't quite get the relevance, but this seems like an odd statement for someone who seems to think rather highly of Tarot.

In any case, this is the Biblical Criticism & History forum. Whatever-it-is you're posting (beyond, perhaps, your first post) doesn't really belong here.

Take it to another thread on another forum, if you really want to talk about it (Tarot) more. The Miscellaneous Discussions forum perhaps.
