Noah And The Holy Scepter

The scepter shall not depart from Judah. (Genesis 49:10) An ancient blessing recorded from Jacob to his son Judah on his deathbed. An innocent verse no doubt many have read and studied for its brilliant symbolism of things to come for the people of Israel. But what if the words were more than merely symbolic? What if Jacob's blessing spoke of an actual scepter? That's what Noah, a small-town Texas boy and son of a famed biblical archeologist would soon come to discover. Elementary school was over, summer vacation beginning for thousands of children across North Texas. Noah, however, was headed on a reluctant expedition with his father to the holy lands of Israel. Their objective: to study the history and undiscovered secrets of the long-lost kings of Israel's divided Southern Kingdom, Judah. Namely, King Josiah, the "Boy King." On a blistering hot summer afternoon, stranded with his father's excavation crew in the middle of the desert, Noah stumbles upon a find of immeasurable power. Hidden beneath the earth in a forgotten cave, Noah finds a chamber home to the scepter of Judah-a chance recovery of an artifact with the ability to transport this twenty-first-century boy to a time before Christ was born! His first destination: the Kingdom of Jericho, joining up with the wandering Hebrew caravan as they prepare to cross the Jordan River under the leadership of Joshua and into the promised land. Emotions are high and danger lurks around every corner to thwart Noah's advance. The pagan city lies in wait behind an impenetrable wall-a wall Noah must breach!

The Scepter shall not depart from Judah. --Genesis 49:10 The adventure of Noah, son of Solomon, continues. A week has passed since Noah's providential discovery of the scepter of Judah, a holy relic with the capability to take this modern boy back in time to walk through biblical stories. Fresh off the successful recovery of the first scepter jewel in ancient Jericho, Noah joins his father and the excavation crew as they continue their investigation of the buried chamber where he uncovered the relic. The primary focus for Solomon and his team is the unusual hieroglyphs adorning the chamber walls. A tumultuous Mediterranean storm interrupts their study, leaving Noah alone inside the chamber. The glyphs come to life, and a stranger's voice speaks two Hebrew words, "Lochque'bo. Litse'od." But what does it mean? Back at camp, Noah is transferred to a time long forgotten where he meets Elisha, the prophet of God. The holy man explains Noah's next adventure, his destination--Second Kings chapter 3, a time during a divided Israel. The northern kingdom is led by King Joram, an immature and rash leader. A long-standing treaty is violated, forcing King Joram to request the help of his southern counterpart, King Jehoshaphat of Judah. Together, along with the Edomites, this unsteady alliance moves to wage war against King Mesha of Moab. Noah is enlisted into Judah's elite fighting force, the Mighty Men, under the command of General Adnah, with the help of Thios and a new friend, along with a few heroes of the faith. Noah must locate another scepter jewel to return home. War is upon him. An army of seven hundred thousand Moabites stands in his way. God's heavy hand forces the alliance to trust Him alone and obey or perish in the desert wasteland.

A few thousand years ago 8 people were kept safe above the floodwaters of God's wrath in a physical, wooden ark.Everything was 'business as usual'-------up to the time Noah entered the ark.And again, many years later, life continuing as normal--------until the day Lot left Sodom.At some time in the not too distant future, multitudes will be taken 'aboard' and kept safe from a time of terrible tribulation, in a type of heavenly ark.Once again, 'Noah' will enter the 'ark'.Once again, 'Lot' will leave 'Sodom'.

Most of us have wondered, sometime during our lifetime, about when Adam and Eve were really "expelled from paradise" in the Garden of Eden. "Can" we find a verifiable and replicable answer to this question? Most of us have questioned, sometime during our lifetime, the "accepted" sequential biblical timeline of Archbishop James Ussher who claimed that 4004 BC was the actual date for that initial biblical event in our current holy scriptures. Was he right? Most of us have questioned, sometime in our lifetime, how the Hebrew's "accepted" claim that 3761 BC could be the actual date for Adam's "expulsion." Were they right? "Can" we find a way to reconstruct the complete Hebrew Bible timeline, from Adam's "expulsion" from paradise to our day? Is this possible? Who believes that it can be done? Well, it has been done! Here, is how it is done! To reconstruct the Hebrew Bible timeline, we need to know only the simple math formula that they used! The employment of this simple formula shall enable us to rebuild that same sequential biblical timeline, block by block, in the exact same fashion that the Jewish people "use from the beginning," at Adam's "expulsion" from paradise, in the Garden of Eden. The formula used in reconstructing an "actual count" of the Hebrew Bible is found below: 7 7 = 49 10 = 490 10 = 4,900 solar years 7 7 = 49 + 1 = 50 10 = 500 10 = 5,000 lunar years Since both of these 49 solar, and 50 lunar, periods of time contain 18,200 days (approx), we can then "post the number" of any given sequential biblical event in its designated year position on a side-by-side comparison chart. If we "post the number" in this fashion, it will show us exactly when and where, on the timeline chart, there is an error in the sequential computations of any sequential biblical event that is propounded by any biblical chronologist, past or present! In this present book, we find that the Ussher biblical timeline is 112 years "too early." And the Hebrew biblical timeline of Codex Judaica is 131 years "too late." Obviously, 3892 BC is the only "year number" that can work for a verifiable timeline! This book, "The Holy Bible "Chronicle" of Sequential Biblical Events," by Robert P. Killian, is the fruit of over seventy-year search for that verifiable and replicable answer to the long-sought question: "Can the Ussher biblical timeline be trusted?"
