Download or read book Biblical Moses and the last king of Mari Zimri Lim are the same person written by Jabbar M. Mammadov and published by USA, Washington. “THE EAST: Ancient & Modern”. This book was released on 2021-08-20 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the following parallels, this book states that the last king of Mari, Zimri-Lim (Yahudin-Lim's adopted son), and the biblical Moses are the same person. Thus, Zimri-Lim in his youth organized an unsuccessful coup against Sūmû-Jamam (Bibl.: Pharaoh's overseer), who was the governor of Šamši-Adad I (bibl. Pharaoh-oppressor) in Mari, and fled to the neighboring Yamhad (bibl. "to the land of Midian"). There he married the granddaughter of the king Šumu-Epuh (bibl. Jethro) and lived there for 20 years (1794-1774 BC). After the death of Šamši-Adad I, he acceded to the throne of Mari with the help of his father-in-law Yarīm-Lîm I (bibl. Reuel), who was the heir of Šumu-Epuh. After some time (in 1761 BC), Mari was occupied by the Babylonian king Hammurabi (bibl. Pharaoh of Exodus), whom Zimri-Lim had previously called "elder brother" in all his diplomatic correspondence, and after the occupation of Mari he, too, in turn, had fulfilled his duty as his brother by not interfering with Zimri-Lim and leaving him on the throne as his viceroy. As the new king of Yamhad was his brother-in-law (bibl. Ḥōḇāḇ), the attitude of Zimri-Lim was cool, he did not help him with this matter (as it is written in Num. 10:29-30). After 2 years, the Marians led by Zimri-Lim unsuccessfully attempted to mutiny against Babylonian oppression. After their defeat in 1959 BC all the population of Mari left Mari and, having defeated several local tribes, isolated themselves on the territory of the modern Jordan. After their long tranquil wanderings within these territories, the younger generation led by Joshua had killed Zimri-Lim/Moses ( “Heresy of Peor”), seized the power and organized an attack on the future Canaan. Under the reign of Zimri-Lim in Mari occultism and prophecy were at their peak and Zimri-Lim made no decision without consulting the oracles. The sister of Zimri-Lim Inibšina (bibl. Miriam) was a widow and a priest of the Temple. The population of Mari was called the hanaeans (after the eponym of the Assyrian king Khan), and they were divided into 2 large groups: the bensamilites (the sons of the left side of the Euphrates) and the benjaminites (the sons of the right side of the Euphrates), each of which, in turn, divided into several tribes. The transfer of this whole history from Mari to Egypt had happened when after a short time of their separation in Canaan those areas where occupied by Egypt and the Jews remained under its yoke for several hundred years. At that time the entire national consciousness of the Jews was set against Egypt and the Jewish prophets and leaders fed this hatred by linking all the old wounds of the Jews with Egypt. There was also a crossroads of these 2 canaanites/hanaeans: Mesopotamians ("Kingdom of Khana") with the Palestinian one. The pantheon of deities of both canaanites/hanaeans (Early Israelites and Marians) also coincide.

Download or read book From Flood to Fallen Kingdoms written by Jarno Moilanen and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2020-06-29 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Flood to Fallen Kingdoms (FFFK) is the first truly authoritative, detailed and coherent, young-earth creationist overview of the post-flood history of the ancient Near East (and the land of Israel), for laypersons and scholars alike. It is a unique work which does not have serious rivals in the biblical-creationist book market. The lack of a good and comprehensive introductory book was the main reason why I started to write the book in the first place. I have made use of the best available scholarly literature, Christian as well as secular. The book contains a lot of my own research, but it is also in very good agreement with the archaeological articles written by A. J. M. Osgood (can be read at creation.com) and the books of David Down (Unwrapping the Pharaohs and Unveiling the Kings of Israel), for example. FFFK follows the absolute chronology of Floyd Nolen Jones' The Chronology of the Old Testament. As a Bible-faithful narrative introduction to the history and archaeology of the ancient Near East, From Flood to Fallen Kingdoms is far better than the existing apologetic works that come towards the genre of FFFK (Evidence for the Bible by Clive Anderson and Brian Edwards; Ancient Post-Flood History by Ken Johnson; The World's Story 1: The Ancients by Angela O'Dell, for example). From Flood to Fallen Kingdoms will strengthen the faith of numerous believing readers who take the Holy Scriptures seriously. They will also be surprised to see how well the first five post-flood centuries, from Ararat to Abraham, which until now have been in great darkness, can be elucidated through proper interpretation of biblical and archaeological evidence.
