[quote:abhie:MV8yMTczMTU5XzM2NzQzODg4Xzk1OUQ5NzMz] In the myth of Prometheus, he re-grows his liver everyday when the eagle eats it. There is a lot of spiritual significance to the liver. http://www.plim.org/liver.html [b]How did ancient civilizations view the liver? [/b] [color=blue]Throughout history, humankind has thought there was something special about the liver of mammals. The Babylonians were the first to use a sheep’s liver for divination. Many ancient cultures, from the most advanced to the most primitive, have believed that the liver was the center and the source of life. The Dictionary of the Bible by James Hastings verifies this. It states the following about the Semitic people’s belief in the liver. “According to Semitic ideas, a peculiar holiness belonged to the liver and kidneys together with the fat attached to them; the reason being that they were regarded as the special seats not only of emotion but of life itself (p. 588).” Now the Greek word for liver is “hepar” and all things pertaining to the liver are called hepatic. Both the Gentiles and Israel had cultural views about the liver. Ancient cultures failed to understand the reality of the liver because modern science did not exist. One of the most remarkable things about the liver is its ability to regenerate itself. An ancient Greek myth seemed to revealed this fact before the existence of modern science. In the story of Prometheus, Zeus punished the demi-god for giving human’s the knowledge of fire. Zeus chained Prometheus to a rock and made him endure the eternal torture of an eagle eating his liver out every day. His liver would promptly grow back every night. (http://www.arrakis.com.au/ais_users/zan).[/color] [b]What is the liver’s structure? [/b] [color=blue]The liver is an organ that is in all higher forms of life such as birds, reptiles, and mammals. In humans it is the largest and heaviest organ within the body. It weighs over 3- pounds. Now the liver appears as a spongy, reddish brown organ that lies just below the diaphragm in the abdominal cavity. Structurally, the liver is divided into two parts called the right lobe and left lobe (see diagram on p. 16) by the “ligmentum teres” which is a cross like structures. This cross like structure symbolically represents the Messiah’s crucifixion that divided the Old Testament from the New Testament (see diagram on p. 14 and the article "Do You Know What The New Testament Is?" p. 8). Now the right lobe is also the biggest and it typifies the New Testament where the sons are led by the Spirit (Rom. 8:14). The left lobe represents Israel under the Old Covenant who was led by the Law of Moses. Again there are numerous correlations that can be made with the Messiah and His purpose, but space is limited.[/color] [/quote]
Original Message
• Prometheus stole 'fire' from Zeus
• He brought 'light' to humans
• That is , Prometheus was the light bringer, aka Lucifer.
• 'fire' is a allegory to secret knowledge. As in 'getting an idea' is depicted as a lightbulb (fire) .
• Zeus had Prometheus chained. And every day an eagle ate his liver, only to have it re-generated again the next day. Prometheus is seen as a 'MESSIAH' for humans.
