Religious scholars to translate old texts - one tells of the cosmic signs preceding Judgement Day
Religious scholars to translate old texts

By Auslan Cramb, Scotland Correspondent
(Filed: 29/07/2005)

Ancient quasi-biblical texts written by Jews, Christians and pagans are to be translated for the first time by scholars of divinity.

The tales date from between 300BC and AD600. They include stories about biblical characters, wise sayings, poetry and prophecies.

Researchers at the University of St Andrews have launched a project to translate into English the texts, some written in the name of Old Testament characters such as Moses and Enoch.

James Davila and Prof Richard Bauckham, of the School of Divinity, said the documents showed that ordinary Jews and Christians wanted to know more about biblical characters.

The ancient tracts are similar to biblical texts, but written by unknown authors.

"Some of these books are surprisingly unorthodox," said Dr Davila. "We learn, for example, that some Christians and Jews enjoyed stories about miscegenation between angels and humans."

The 50 documents to be translated have been discovered in different locations.

They include the Testament of Adam, Apocalypse of the Seven Heavens and Visions of Heaven and Hell.

One book, Signs of the Judgment, popular in medieval times, contains a set of cosmic signs supposedly revealing when the Day of Judgment is approaching.

Or you copuld read the latest news from today.

St. Germain 07.30.05



The experiment of materialism is approaching its end, and wherever you go from here the lessons will have been learnt. I must also say that the same applies to Communism, and both which lack a spiritual bonding have proved to be unworkable for any length of time. Whatever system you use it must be based on the principles of treating everyone as equals, and entitled to the same quality of life. These were embodied in your original Constitution, but the materialistic ambitions of the few have changed it so that it now bears little resemblance to it. Every country has tried to follow a similar course, but always the greed and corruption surfaces and the grandest of ideas are swept aside.



Some people wince at the idea of spiritual concepts, believing that it would lead to another extreme based on religious teachings. Following Universal Laws is something that lays down the basis for correct relationships with all other living forms. It is about respecting the freedom and honoring the sovereignty of another, to act accordingly in the Love and Light. These are your rights but they have been systematically taken away from you. It is easy to say all of this, but had Humanity grown and embraced those concepts you could have lived in relative peace instead of constant war.



It is all very well for me to say that you have let the wrong people take charge, because those who covet power and riches have forced their way into positions of influence for millennia of time. You have had Royalty and elite families rule you for so long that it has been accepted by you as the normal way. Now you have the powerful commercial and military interests also dominating you, and it is clear that they usurp the benefits and care you should expect. Look around you, can you honestly say that you find matters satisfactory, and do they give you any quality of life that you find acceptable?



What is remarkable is that in spite of all the restraint upon you, there have always been some of you who have been sufficiently far sighted to challenge the status quo. With a struggle some high points have been achieved, but it is generally extremely difficult to get your leaders to reflect what you the people desire. The human spirit can never be destroyed, and even in the darkest moments your heroes are born. Remember that at all times there is a subtle balancing of Light and dark, and the Light cannot be extinguished no matter what pressure or confinements are brought to bear. Although it is difficult for you to see the grand picture, the Light is now rapidly growing and its energy cannot be handled by the dark. Pockets of Light are growing and connecting with each other and it is in the ascendancy and will continue as such.



The era you have been going through is by no means new, and in older civilizations you have followed similar parallels and had your highs and lows. However, you will know that regardless of how far they progressed, they broke up and almost completely disappeared. In its own way that has lead to progress, but unfortunately it has been very material at the expense of spiritual growth and development. This is your root problem today, and your technological advancement has outstripped all else. The dark are set on a path to oblivion, but they shall not be allowed to take you with them. Their days are numbered and this cycle will end as decreed by the Creator.



These are nevertheless very trying times and you are surrounded by all types of emotions, and it is hard sometimes not to get caught up in their energies. It is the very time that calls for you to be strong and stand aside and let your loving energies diffuse the situation. I hear you say, what can I do I am only one person amongst millions, yet you link up your light with others and become a force for good that has to be reckoned with. We help, of course we do and we never expected you to fight this last battle alone. You attract light to yourself and grow stronger day by day. You are helping transmute the dark energies, and this is breaking down their ability to push their plans much further and they are stagnating.



You will continually hear talk of the war extending in the Middle East , and even mention of using the nuclear devices. I will again tell you that you need not fear such developments as we will not allow a war of this nature. If need be the higher forces will nullify any attempts to explode such ghastly and inhumane weapons. The dark are still arrogant and see their plan faltering very badly and are anxious to create false conditions to justify their actions in your eyes. You will have to be very alert to their conniving and attempts to get your approval. You must look to your representatives to stand up for truth and justice and not be trodden down under foot.



It must be apparent to many of you that we have nearly reached the point of change. Events cannot continue in their present way for much longer. There is much to do to get you on the path to Ascension and no actions taken elsewhere will deter our efforts. We are in charge and when we say the changes can start to go ahead it will be so. This month for many reasons has been most active, and it is a sign of the times that the impetus for change is coming from you, and many Dear Ones are taking up the gauntlet and fighting back with some success. The dark are finding it hard to deflect the criticism that is coming their way, and they do not like the pressure now being exerted upon them. They are becoming hemmed in and cornered, and feeling very uncomfortable.



Dear Ones I am St. Germain and ask you to keep looking ahead and visualize the outcome of the present period. Hold it in your mind and it will soon manifest. Do not give your energy to the dark by being fearful, as this is exactly what they want. Do not feel intimidated, you are immensely powerful as long as you stay in the Light. Feel the new energies around you and take more strength from them. You will win, because in reality we know you have already won and achieved your victory. My Love and Blessings go with you All.



Thank you St. Germain



Mike Quinsey
