The Nephilim And The Pyramid of the Apocalypse

[Eagle]

Patrick Heron of the 11th Corps has written a pretty good book which complements E.W. Bullinger and John Schoenheit of CES on the subject of the Nephilim, the giants mentioned in Genesis Six. Pat goes the extra mile here and really gets into some extra material. I think he has a few differences with Schoenheit and Bullinger so you cannot tell if he read or heard their material. It all looks like personal research. He carries the subject into Egyptology.

The book has been selling in Ireland where he lives but now is available in the United States by calling 1-866-909-BOOK, or 1-866-909-2665. His website is:

Patrick Heron

I've read the book and he gives a fascinating introduction and good arguments throughout the book. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

God Bless.

Can you give us a vague notion about at least one of the

"good argumemts" or a conclusion drawn from one of them?

Otherwise, this strikes me as more of an ad for a book than

a "discussion" thread.

(If you want to post an ad, that's allowed, but I am of the

impression that's not quite what you had in mind.)

WordWolf -- heh heh. Patrick Henron's introductory "blurb" speaks of some one "other than the Egyptians" building those things.

Without having read further, my guess is that it's all the work of the Amazing Sea- Monkeys from Mars!!!

Eagle -- the book does look interesting, but I need to look at the site more. Thanks for the link. :)-->

Well, I'm sure he hasn't read Bullinger. (If he HAS, he disagrees sharply

with him on the identity of the "fallers".)

This guy's relying on "the Bible Code" and secret messages concealed

in the Bible.

This guy's also operating entirely upon the assumption that the

Hebrew cubit was a STANDARDIZED UNIT OF MEASUREMENT, and many of us,

if not most of us, know that's completely not true.

He's also completely departed from all historical documents that

actually cover the construction of the pyramids,

including accounting reports on the workers and logistics like

food and so on. (The workers dragging the stones making up the

pyramids had bread baked fresh on-site. That's just one piece of

minutiae on the pyramids' construction.)

According to him, the Egyptians couldnt have the brains to construct

the pyramids. History says they did it anyway, so by definition they

apparently DID have the brains to do so.

I was surprised to see Clarence Larkin's name pop up in his citations.

Anyone else remember that name? From what I saw, I suspect he took

some observations made by Larkin and constructed an entire theology

around it. (I may be wrong-it's possible Larkin taught this nonsense.)

*reads the initial post*

OMG-this guy graduated the 11th corpse????

Well, that possibly explains the Larkin connection, but it makes the

anti-Bullinger stuff baffling.

Sorry, Eagle,

I for one can't see any redeeming qualities in this thing,

going from the website and the author's own words.

For all of me, he doesn't have to teach anything even vaguely

resembling what Bullinger taught, but he's relying far too much on

insufficient scholarship and building far too much on "gray areas"

that have already been filled in by the work of others.

In hindsight,

I wish the corpse had actually had some courses up to at least

community college-standard at the Way C. of E. ...

It might have saved Patrick Heron from writing and releasing this

collection of wild guesses. Depending on his audience, he may

well sell many copies. Heck, Sylvia Browne and a number of

"psychics" have thriving businesses due to the patronage of the

gullible and poorly-educated, perhaps he can capitalize on that as

well and turn a tidy profit.

(I'd be less blunt about the lack of skill evidenced here,

but he IS selling these things for money and supposedly completed

research on the subject.)

Sounds like a fun read even if it's just taking the book as pure fiction. However, I just can't get motivated to read anything having to to with the Bible these days. It just makes me sick to my stomach.

Thanks, Guys.

The website gives a good introduction into it and I'm glad you read it. But to each his own. You can have your opinion on it. No big deal.

I enjoyed a lot of it, really. Are not we all arm-chair researchers? Some like it and others do not. But I am glad for those who were reading it first before criticizing it.

It is a best seller in Ireland, though.

The idea of posting it hear was to show another opinion on the subject of Genesis Six.

Belle -- that's too bad, but is up to you.

Just a *for instance*, were you to go to a McDonald's, and get a bad burger -- would that keep you from going to other burger joints?? Perhaps it might, and I am not criticizing you for your choice, but looking at the larger picture -- the one rotten apple (in this case - twi) doesn't need to spoil the entire barrel.

Glad to hear you know what you want to do, and what you want to believe!!
