I've been diligently reading my new book, From the Ashes of Angels: The Forbidden Legacy of a Fallen Race
. It is well written and interesting. I cannot say that I agree with some of the author's suppositions, but I find his ideas intriguing. If he offered more support for his hypotheses instead of just stating them and expecting his readers to agree, his points would be more valid. To be fair, I have not completed the book and he may well offer more support as I progress through the book. I will continue to read and take notes. For now, this book has spawned much interest in the
The Book of Jubilees
.
I've been reading through The Book of Jubilees as translated by Dr. A. Nyland. I find her explanation of language and how words have been misunderstood in the past as they were translated from Hebrew and Greek into English. I would like to put together a genealogy from the book to help understand how people are related.
I love her explanation of the word Adam and how the word translates as human. God created humans in His image, not just one man named Adam. Later in Genesis, there is a man named Adam with a wife named Eve, but humans did not all come from two people. That makes so much more sense, genetically speaking anyway.
I will post more when I have more progress. It may be slow going as I wind my way through each book to compare what I find with the Bible and with the work of Andrew Collins. This topic has always held much fascination for me and I am grateful to Andrew Collins if I get no more from his book other than helping me find these new translations of The Book of Jubilees, Book of Jasher and Book of Enoch 1, 2, and 3.
