Mousetrails - The First Holy War - Page 23

Hi-
I have been trying to get through your thread and have found it interesting. I would eventually like to purchase your book when we our employment is more secure.

I read through the first six pages and then skipped to the last 2 or 3. I am going to go back as time permits and read the rest.

I noticed you posted again today, and now I have to go look it up because your post left me hanging! wink.gif Good for scripture study though. So I was wondering if you could tell me if you are working on another book and these are what you are currently researching or is this part of your book that you are putting here for people to read?

Thanks for the interesting read.

AlaskanLDS, thanks for the nice comments.

If you watch you will see a thread go lower and lower on the page until it isn't even seen without searching for it. That's because each new post goes to the top of the page as it should. So the only way to keep a thread visible is to post on it often. You will also notice that although I seem to have many readers, very few contact me as you did, so to keep the thread visible I post a page of the book almost every day. What you are reading is from the book Mousetrails-The First Holy War.

Yes, there is another book, but it is still just a manuscript. I took a part time job at the age of 65 to make the $3000 to self publish Mousetrails. My health would not allow me to do that again, so I am posting 3 pages a day of my other book in Private Boards. If you scan down the main menu 4 subjects to a brown bar called Private Boards and click on the small print above the brown bar you will find my other book "The Sons of God" It is fiction using interesting facts I learned in my research for Mousetrails.

If you don't mind my asking, do you live in Alaska and what do you do there?

Please feel free to contact me any time if you have other questions. I hope I have made myself clear and answered your present questions.

Okay-thanks that did help.

I have actually seen your other book but because it was fiction I thought I would start with this one. I read a few other comments from people asking you questions about the book--is this the proper place to ask questions and your opinion about other sources?

I don't want it to come across as an attack---I was just amazed at the amount of people that were killed and did some searching. I was curious if you came across any of the same references and if so, did they play into your book.

Thanks for your reply.

PS--Yes I do live in the beautiful state of Alaska! Have you ever been here? My husband is a journeyman plumber and I am a stay at home mom of 5 kids.

I'm not sure if you're asking me a question. Please explain.

Three was one to many children for me. I was really surprised how the love stretches to take care of the third one. rolleyes.gif

All Bible quotes are from the Douay-Catholic Bible

On the fourth day, Holofernes sent his eunuch to invite Judith to eat and drink with him.

QUOTE
...and going in she stood before his face. And the heart of Holofernes was smitten, for he was burning with desire for her.

So she drank with him.
QUOTE
And Holofernes was made merry on her occasion, and drank exceeding much wine, so much as he had never drunk in his life.

When everyone else left drunk, and Holofernes was in a drunken sleep, Judith told her maid to stand watch, took his sword from the head of his bed
QUOTE
...And she struck him twice upon his neck, and cut off his head.



She gave the head to her maid,
QUOTE
...And they two went out according to their custom, as it were to prayer.

Then Judith showed the elders Holofernes head, and told them,
QUOTE
"...Hear me, my brethren, hang ye up this head upon our walls. And as soon as the sun shall rise, let every man take his arms, and rush ye out, not as going down beneath, but as making an assault."

When the Syrians figured out what had happened, Vagao said,
QUOTE
"...One Hebrew woman hath made confusion in the house of King Nabuchodonosor, for behold Holofernes lieth upon the ground, and his head is not upon him."

And the Syrians ran away in confusion.
QUOTE
...And because the Assyrians were not united together, they went without order in their fight; but the children of Israel pursuing in one body, defeated all they could find. (Judith 15:4)

The Syrians army count is in (Judith 7:2.)
142,000 died.

Mousetrails - The First Holy War

All Bible quotes are from the Douay-Catholic Bible

Every religion that uses the Bible, has heard the story of Esther, her adopted father Mardochi, and King Assuerus. But since everyone reading this may not be of the Christian faith, I"ll repeat it in brief. King Assuerus gave a banquet for everyone important in his kingdom, and because she was beautiful, he asked his wife to make an appearance. When she refused, he set out to replace her with the most beautiful virgin in his kingdom. Esther became Queen Esther and asked the king not to let Aman, the king's first in command, destroy her people. When her story was told,

QUOTE
... Aman was hanged on the gibbet, which he had prepared for Mardochai.
And the king's wrath ceased. (Esther 7:10)

1 died.


King Assuerus gave Aman's house to Esther, then to prevent the slaughter Aman had set in motion, he sent letters throughout,
QUOTE
...one hundred twenty-seven provinces, from India even to Ethiopia.

They were sent to Jews, governors, deputies, and judges,
QUOTE
...to prevent the former letters with new messages.

Then the king went too far.
QUOTE
...The king gave orders to them, to speak to the Jews in every city, and to command them to gather themselves together, and to stand for their lives, and to kill and destroy all their enemies with their wives, and children and all their houses, and to take their spoil.

Esther's adoptive father did very well.
QUOTE
And Mordochai going forth out of the palace, and from the kings presence, shone in royal apparel, to wit, of violet and sky color, wearing a golden crown on his head, and clothed with a cloak of silk and purple. There was wonderful rejoicing, feasts and banquets.

But
QUOTE
...a great dread of the name of the Jews had fallen upon all.

When the Jews realized they had the upper hand, they began to take revenge on their enemies and persecutors. The judges, governors, and lieutenants, feared Mordochai,
QUOTE
...For they knew him to be prince of the palace, and to have great power. So the Jews made a great slaughter of their enemies, and killed them, repaying according to what they had prepared to do to them. (Esther 9:5)

And they,
QUOTE
... slew their enemies and persecutors, insomuch that the number of them that were killed amounted to seventy-five thousand. (Esther 9:16)

75,000 died

Mousetrails The Holy War - Page 23

All Bible quotes are from the Douay-Catholic Bible

Although they left Egypt with no war experience, the army of the nation of Israel, God's chosen people, were directly responsible for the death of at least 4,400,193 human beings. In the early days, God took charge, and responsibility for the battles, and sometimes fought with them. In the last days, His army was directed by prophets who said God had told them what to do. In any case, He made them
learn to fight, taught them the element of surprise, and what to do with the spoils of war. He gave them specific instructions on how to approach a city. He was a tactician, and statistician. He was familiar with supply lines and the law of diminishing returns.


Remember (Deuteronomy 20:10)? God's first ploy was to offer peace. Why do battle, and kill virgins and potential slaves, if you can frighten a city into surrender?

QUOTE
When you march up to attack a city, first offer it terms of peace. If it agrees to your terms of peace and opens its gates to you, all the people to be found in it shall serve you in FORCED LABOR..



But if you"re just going for plunder, and the good citizens of the city resist,
QUOTE
... lay siege to it, and when the Lord, your God, delivers it into your hand, put every male in it to the sword; but the women and children and livestock and all else in it that is worth plundering you may take as your booty.

Women, children, and livestock were easy to control and herd back home, but kill all the men, they could slow you down and cause trouble later.
QUOTE
That is how you shall deal with any city at a considerable distance from you, WHICH DOES NOT BELONG TO THE PEOPLES OF THIS LAND.

These battles had nothing to do with 'taking" the promised land! These battles
were about looting, plunder, and slaves! Of course God, either now or later, got all the gold and silver. Oh, and his share of the virgins. Israel was on a roll, so God had them 'taking" everything within striking distance.


But close to home, the rules changed drastically.
QUOTE
...in the cities which the Lord, your God, is giving you as your heritage, YOU SHALL NOT LEAVE A SINGLE SOUL ALIVE. You must doom them all AS THE LORD, YOUR GOD, HAS COMMANDED YOU. (Deuteronomy 20:10)


Remember always, (Numbers 21:14)
Hence it is said in the "BOOK OF THE WARS of the LORD"

THE GOD OF THE JEWS WAS A WAR GOD! 4,400,193 human beings lost their lives because of God's army. When you know and remember this, many other things you read about in the Old Testament of the Bible fall into place.

Mousetrails The Holy War The Bible Revealed - Page 23

All Bible quotes are from the Douay-Catholic Bible

GOD"S ANGER
Threats and Killings
One of the best known stories in the Bible is in Genesis. It is the story of the apple, the snake, and Eve's temptation. God could have planted

QUOTE
...the tree of the knowledge of good and evil anywhere,

but He placed it in the middle of the garden where His next creation would be sure to see it every day. And what was the first thing He told the curious, inquisitive human He created in His own image?
QUOTE
..."But from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you must not eat."

Would it surprise you to think that Adam's first question was, "God, what's evil?" And sure enough, to God's surprise, Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit! God's first show of anger was to put a curse on the snake,
QUOTE
...on your belly you shall crawl, dust shall you eat, all the days of your life.

Then He turned His anger on Eve.
QUOTE
To the woman he said: "I will make great your distress in child bearing; in pain shall you bring forth children; for your husband shall be your longing, though he shall have dominion over you." And to Adam he said, "Because you have listened to your wife, and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat: Cursed be the ground because of you; in toil shall you eat of it all the days
of your life; (Genesis 3:16)

God introduced Eve to pain, then told Adam he would have to work hard if he wanted to eat. This was his second show of anger. It was not to be his last.
QUOTE
Therefore the Lord put him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken. (Genesis 3:23)

Does it strike you as a bit odd that Adam was told to ...till the ground for his food, then when Cain followed in his fathers footsteps, God didn't like vegetables! He only accepted Abel's offering of animal flesh, and Cain paid the price for his ignorance?

Adam and Cain must have been good farmers, because their descendants multiplied like mice. Nine generations after the earth was created, God saw so much evil that he contemplated wiping out every living thing from the face of the earth.
QUOTE
When the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great, and that man's every thought and all the inclination of his heart were only evil, he regretted that he had made man. Then the Lord said,"I will wipe from the earth man whom I have created-man and beast, crawling creature and bird of the air as well - for I regret that I made them. (Genesis 6:5)

The Bible would lead us to believe that God is the creator of every living thing and even knows when the sparrow falls. Why then, with all his creative power, did he not create a perfect reproduction of himself? Maybe He had a moment of inattention and created man in His image, except for one small flaw which causes man to sin? With all His creative power He could have fixed the flaw in man
instead of destroying the ...beast, crawling creature and bird of the air. These creatures had no concept of God or sin, but God wanted to wipe out every living thing because MAN was evil! Could this possibly be a fit of temper?
