THE HISTORY OF THE FLOWER OF LIFE 

The Flower of Life is a fascinating and ancient symbol. It has been found to hold significance in multiple cultures all around the world as the Flower of Life symbol is seen in ancient manuscripts temples, synagogues, and art. However, it was only dubbed as the 'Flower of Life' quite recently in the 1990s.  

The oldest known depictions of the Flower of Life were found in the Temple of Osiris in Egypt and date back to at least 6 000 years ago, and recent research has concluded that they could not have been made earlier than 535 BC. These depictions of the symbol are fascinating because they were not carved into the rock, but rather burned or drawn onto the granite with red ochre with great precision. Some believe that the symbol could have been used to represent the Eye of Ra.  

Leonardo da Vinci was known to have studied the Flower of Life pattern and derived the five platonic solids, as well as the Golden Ratio of Phi, from the symbol.

Leonardo was into everything it appears. LOL

It's interesting to note the progression towards annihilation of Babylon the great isn't it.

That's right.

Absolutely.  I heard tell that the Uighur Muslims are having their organs removed so they can be sold, wicked system.

Also the Uighur Muslims in China.

22 years ago, a brother in the congregation I was attending, told me he knew someone in the UN that had related to him that there was a document that needed 6 signatures that was sitting in readiness to end religion.

Rest in Jehovah's memory dear sister until we meet you in the new system. 💐

Abram's name - "Father Is High (Exalted)" was changed to Abraham ("Father of a Crowd (Multitude)"

Jehovah's purpose in connection with Abraham had changed and was reflected in this name change.

Sarai changed to Sarah

Jacob to Israel

Names changed to reveal something fundamental and prophetic about God's purpose concerning them.

Assumption leaves a margin for error, for me there is no margin for error.  Perception...funny old thing.

I am glad you shared this. I had a very similar experience just this past week with a memorial for an older sister that died. I was so impressed with the experience that I was almost moved to want to share it on here but then I thought nobody would be interested. So I'm glad you brought it up. 

I, for one, would be interested and I'm sure many others would be too 💐

Genesis 2:4 This is a history of the heavens and the earth in the time they were created, in the day that Jehovah God made earth and heaven.

The first instance of Jehovah's name.

I'm not trying to prove it, I don't believe Moses to be a liar, nor do I believe the canonised scriptures to be wrong.

However, with this text you cannot prove that Eve knew Jehovah's name, because neither Adam nor Eve wrote this. What is sure though is that Moses knew God's name, and we are assuming he is quoting Eve correctly.

Yes, you do what?

Genesis 4:1  Now Adam had sexual relations with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant.  When she gave birth to Cain, she said: “I have produced a male child with the help of Jehovah."

Eve knew Jehovah's name.

Ahem

You Tom?

Let's try the following:

Fourth century C.E., Jerome, the translator of the Latin Vulgate, says in his prologue to the books of Samuel and Kings: “And we find the name of God, the Tetragrammaton [i.e., יהוה], in certain Greek volumes even to this day expressed in ancient letters.” In a letter written at Rome, 384 C.E., Jerome states: “The ninth [name of God] is the Tetragrammaton, which they considered [a·nek·phoʹne·ton], that is, unspeakable, and it is written with these letters, Iod, He, Vau, He. Certain ignorant ones, because of the similarity of the characters, when they would find it in Greek books, were accustomed to read ΠΙΠΙ [Greek letters corresponding to the Roman letters PIPI].”—Papyrus Grecs Bibliques, by F. Dunand, Cairo, 1966, p. 47, ftn. 4.

How about that  

"Some of the peoples who had alphabets used the letters of the alphabet to represent numbers. The ancient Jews, for example, used nine letters of the Hebrew alphabet to represent the numbers from one to nine. They used nine other letters to represent the multiples of ten, from ten to ninety. A third set of nine letters represented the multiples of one hundred, from one hundred to nine hundred . . .

"The use of letters of the alphabet to represent numbers has led to some interesting consequences. Letters used in a compound numeral may accidentally spell out a word. Then the use of the numeral may be affected by the meaning of the word. For example, in the Hebrew system of numerals, the number fifteen should have been written as, which means ten more five. (Hebrew is read from right to left.) However these are the first two letters of the word - which spells out Jehovah. Since it was forbidden by Jewish law to use the name of God in vain, the Jews wrote the number fifteen as ' , nine plus six, instead.'

Irving Adler's book, A "New Look at Arithmetic"

The text won't accept the Hebrew for 15 or Jehovah or the revised 15 as 9 plus 6.

It is, and has a greater depth of meaning.

amen and amen 😉

It occurred to me, after speaking Jehovah's name in Hebrew out loud, just what a beautiful language it is and what a beautiful name belongs to Jehovah, in any language.
