The following text was transcribed by me from Mysteries of the Bible Micro Mag. which is not available online The Bible is filled with astounding examples of psychic phenomena. Nearly every book of scriptures demonstrates the belief that humans are in contact with a psychic or supernatural world, something beyond the everyday world of spouses, kids, school, jobs and first of the month bill paying. Common to all testaments. That's true of the New Testament as well as the Old Testament of Moses, Abraham and King David. In the Acts of the Apostles, just about every major act of the apostles to spread and grow Christianity was motivated by dreams, visions, prophecies or some other supernatural phenomenon. The experience of Apostle Paul is a good example . He was a hard nosed tax collector, and had a thoroughly nasty character, he was on his way to Damascus when he was blinded by a sudden bright light. Then he was miraculously healed and converted to Christianity. The miracles of Jesus turning water into wine and walking on water, and his own miraculous conception, provide other dramatic examples of the ties between the denizens of the biblical world with the psychic or supernatural. Many things to many people: The Bible is also many things to many people. To some it is absolute truth; the word of God etched in stone, and every word and phrase is to be accepted literally. To others, it is more open to interpretation, a holy book to be read and analyzed in the context of known history and used as a moral code to live by. But it is the work of many authors, some of whom used multiple sources. And there is a need, some say, for a lot of reading between the lines. Others are less generous in their interpretations, and scoff that much that is written in the scriptures defies all logic and science. They regard the Bible as nothing more than a collection of legends and myths, skillfully blended with history then used to provide the cornerstone for some of the worlds most widely practiced religions. To all Christians however, the Bible provides the strongest possible affirmation of ;man's kinship with the all-powerful supernatural being recognized as God. Perhaps the primary reason the Scriptures can be so perplexing mysteries. Unanswered questions. It seems at times that, for almost every question answered, another question is left unanswered. Questions like: 1. Were Adam and Eve really the first man and woman to inhabit this planet? 2. If they were the only humans created by God, where did the wives of their sons come from? 3. Was there a real flood, and if so, what happened to the ark? 4. Was it possible that someone could really live to be as old as Methusulah, Noah and some of their early descendants? 6. And if that was true , why is the normal human life span today so short?
Many other questions are equally intriguing. Moving to the New Testament… What about persistent stories that Jesus didn't really die on the cross and may have lived many years after the Passion? And how were miracles performed? Some biblical scholars, historians and experts from other methodologies have developed unorthodox answers to many of those questions. In this newsletter I will address one concept at a time. But first, did you know that the Tree of Knowledge which produced the fruit that got Adam and Eve into such a terrible mess wasn't the only sacred tree in the Garden of Eden? The other was called the Tree of Life (Genesis 2-9) In the mystic Jewish book of occult philosophy, the Kabala (also Cabala or Kabala), the Tree of Life is depicted as a diagram of God, man and the universe. Part One The Beginning ADAM'S FIRST WIFE Before Eve, there was Lilith - a sharp-tongued, whining, trouble- making harpy, who might justifiably be identified as the first women's libber. According to the book of Jewish civil and religious law know as the Talmud, Lilith was Adams's first wife, but they broke up after arguing over who should have the dominant position during lovemaking. Lilith refused to lie on the bottom, and when Adam stuck to his guns, she sprouted wings and flew off in a rage --to become the queen and mother of a brood of nightmarish beings, including sex demons known as succubae and incubi. Adam complained about his mate’s contrary behavior to God, who sent three Angels named Senoy, Sansenoy and Seangelof. Who then tracked her down near the Red Sea where she was found to be cohabiting with demons and giving birth to a host of imps and other strange off spring named “lillim or liliot.” The Angels tried to cut a deal with Lilith persuading her to return to Adam. Lilith according to the ancient chronicles, refused. That’s when God decided to create Eve from Adam’s rib. Thus Eve became Adam’s new mate. So why did Lilith get off to such a bad start? They say she was believed to have been formed by God from mud and filth. And she reveled in creating misery and spreading evil. She was a chronic troublemaker. The hateful hellhound established herself as the first would-be home wrecker when she and her demonic entourage took advantage of Adam and Eve’s expulsion from the Garden of Eden by visiting them at night in the form of licentiously-evil beings. As succubae, the female demon, and as incubi, the male demon. Lilith and her demon friends coupled with the pair during their sleep, thus conceiving more nightmare children who subsequently spread throughout the world, propagating evil and creating misery. The ancient Jews believed Litith herself became a heartless demon whose evil and bloodlust led her to prey on newborn babies. She was said to represent a threat to girls until 20 days after birth and to boys until they were eight years old. Lilith also appears in the Old Testament’s Book of Isaiah {34:14,} and may also be referred to in the Bible’s creation stories and other chapters. Genesis 5:3 mentions that Adam fathered a son with Eve “in his own likeness,” indicating that he had also fathered other sons who were not in his likeness, Demons, of course! Psalms 91 mentions the “terror by night” that many believe is a reference to Lilith. The reference in Isaih mentions Lilith as “The night hag” who lived in the desert with wild beasts and hyenas. Isaiah, the Hebrew prophet, warns that when God takes His terrible vengeance on sinners, the land will be turned into desert and “Lilith shall repose there and find her place of rest.” In The Gilgamesh Epic of Ancient Babylonia, Lilith is depicted as a harlot and vampire who is unable to have children of her own. The Babylonian tale has Lilith fleeing from her home near the Euphrates River and living in the wasteland. In Babylonian sculptures and other artistic depictions she is typically shown as a beautiful young woman with the feet of an owl. The owl’s feet are said to relate to her nocturnal wanderings, when she was believed to seduce sleeping men and prey on innocent babes. Lilith also appears in ancient Sumerian legend as a “dark maid” who progressed from being a nuisance to an outcast of the Gods, and then to a succubus who seduced sleeping men to create demons. Columbia University Press. Lilith, female demon of Jewish mythology, originally probably the Assyrian storm demon Lilitu. In Talmudic tradition many evil attributes were given to this supposedly nocturnal creature. In Jewish folklore she is a vampire like child-killer and the symbol of sensual lust. Of the various legends connected with her, the one making her Adam's first wife is the strongest. Lilith appears in the Walpurgis Night section of Goethe's Faust and is discussed in Bernard Shaw's Back to Methuselah. See L. Ginsberg, The Legends of the Jews, vol. V (repr. 1956). The Truth About The Talmud.

Hello,
I liked your piece, but something is not correct.
You say that Genesis proves that adam and lilith had (evil)children.
this is what you wrote:
"in Genesis 5:3 mentions that Adam fathered a son with Eve in his own likeness, indicating that he had also fathered other sons who were not in his likeness, Demons, of course! "
The son of which Genesis 5:3 speaks of is Set. If you knew the bible you would know that after Caοn and Abel Adam and Eve had another son called Set. Eve thought that God gave this to her to make up for the son's she lost (Caοn killed Abel and than ran away)
Set became the ancestor of Gods people. (Mozes, Abraham, Izaak, Jacob, and so on)
So you see, you can't use this piece in the bible to prove Adam had evil children with Lillith.
Best regards,
Mirjam
(PS: I'm sorry if my spelling is all wrong, but English is nog my native language)

I'm just begining to search for answers and information. your page helped a lot. I agree with the idea of the bible leaving several unanswered questions. some of mine remain, "where is the so called garden of eden now?" and " what about that tree of knowledge, where is it?" didn't the bible say something about god throwing down a spinning spear or sword to protect that tree?" I think we would have found such a thing by now.
again, thank you for assisting me in my quest.

Your article was very interesting, though I might suggest a few minor revisions. Paul was not a "hard nosed tax collector" before his conversion, but was a very devout Jew who had been trained in the finest of rabbinical schools. He was also a tent-maker as recorded in Acts 18:1-3, which presupposes he had learned this trade previously. For more information on St. Paul, http://www.realtime.net/~wdoud/topics/paul.html offers a nice summation, or more technical information can be found at the Catholic Encyclopedia at http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11567b.htm.
Now as to the most interesting part. Lilith had no association with the Talmud, though a first wife of Adam (not specifically named Lilith) is found in the midrash (legends) of Genesis Rabbah. You can find the full details of these varies legends through a Jewish source, "Lilith: The Independent Women's Jewish Magazine" at http://www.lilithmag.com/resources/lilithsources.shtml.
According to the source you listed, your information is accurate, though I don't think your source was the most reliable. I am not trying to criticize your article--it was very interesting--but I don't think all the particulars are totally accurate.
Hope your day finds you well and in good spirits.
Your Friend,
Eric |
