Foreign. Hi guys. Welcome to another Monday night live stream. Let me make sure we're broadcasting here. Okay. All right. We have been before we stopped to look at the prophecies and other things going on. We were going through finishing up the pre flood history and one of the things I thought we'd look at tonight is there's kind of a mystery somebody some people have asked. When you look at the genealogy in Genesis and you look at the genealogy in Luke, they're identical except there's an extra person named Canaan in there. And so there's a big debate on was that an accident and if so or what's the difference anyway? Why is it mentioned in Luke and not mentioned in the other? Who was Canaan? Do we know anything about it? And most people say have no clue. So I wanted to get give up or give you some information from some of the ancient scrolls, church fathers on this kind of thing and see exactly what happened. So let's look at our, our dates. As a matter of fact, this is, let me think here. This is Monday. Bring up my thing. So this coming Sunday is April. Well, it would be May 3, 2026. So that Sunday will be the anniversary of the flood. And so if I remember correctly, it was according to the Dead Sea scroll calendar, this Sunday will be 4,295 years ago that day that the flood occurred. So they were sitting around, clouds came up, it started raining and it never stopped until everything was destroy. So it just kind of puts it in our mind when we can identify the exact dates of when things happen, of understanding that the Lord will not always strive with man, as scripture says. So we've got to be careful with that. Eventually in the near future, there's going to be some judgments with God. There's going to be a rapture, there's going to be a tribulation period. Not that we should be scared of that at all, but those things are actually going to happen. God loves us all, but he's also sovereign and judge and he is holy. So those things all have to go together. So with that in mind, you remember from our our histories that when you look at Genesis chapter 5, it starts with Adam being 130 years old when Seth was born. And then it goes all the way up to Noah. And then in chapter seven and eight, it talks about in Noah's 600th year, in that year, on the 17th day of the second month is actually when the flood occurred. So we can actually date that. So from Creation week until the flood was 1656 years, 1 month, and 17 days. We'll see that on the calendar here in a little bit. But let's go to Genesis 11 to kind of continue with this. So we get up through that all the way up to the flood. And so we're told that. And you can add that together. 16:56am AM is anno Monday from the beginning of the world. Whereas this is 2026 AD on our calendar, which is 2026 from Anna Domini, the year our Lord was born. So, and just a side note, some people will say CE and bce, meaning before the common era, and the Common era, just a way for people to get away from Messiah, kind of change things. But that's not the actual calendar system. It's a. It's AD and it's BC it's from the year of the Lord, and it's before Christ. It means exactly that. So you can tell people that if they start saying CE and bce, tell them that's inappropriate. Just don't mess the calendar up. Anyway, so here we get to Genesis 11, and we kind of take over. So this is one of the things that's interesting. It says that in Noah's 600th year of life, he begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And we know they're not triplets. So the question is, in the 600th year of his life, did he have Shem, Ham, or Japheth? I mean, it started. He started having kids at that year. So we have to figure this out. So this will help us to understand this. So this is Genesis 11:10. So it starts with the flood, which is 16:56. And it says these are the family records of Shem. Shem. Shem lived 100 years. In his 100th year, he fathered Arphaxad. And that event was two years after the flood. So that lets us know that the oldest, as it says in Scripture, was Japheth. Shem was next, and then Ham. So they were two years apart, each one of them. So Japheth would have been born when Noah was 100 or was 600. Shem would have been born when he was 602, and then ham would have been born when he was 604. So two years apart. So these are the family records. So that lets us understand that at this point, you know, in from chapter five, it's like we make it rock solid from Creation to the Flood, but then Shem, we don't know about it. This one fixes that. So now we can know for sure to the year. So When Arphaxad was born, he would have been. It would be 1656, the year of the flood, plus two years. So it's 1658, the birth of Arphaxad. So then we go down and I'll make another note about this because we've talked about it, but some people may be new. The Septuagint gives a totally different set of numbers. And what's interesting is when you look at all the Greek, Old Testament, Greek manuscripts, they're not the same numbers. They're all different. Josephus, written in Greek, gives us the Greek numbers very similar to the Septuagint, different set of numbers yet again. So very interesting how whenever you translate something into another language, somehow it just gets garbled. Small animals stones, like a red stone, whether it's a ruby or a garnet or whatever, or numbers, somehow those always get garbled. So I would say to approach all this is obviously going to the Dead Sea Scrolls, whatever they say the records are, or even better, if they have a copy of Genesis, what does their Genesis say? And of course it agrees with our text here. So if we use an niv, nasb, King James, New King James, almost any modern Bible, except for one that says that it's translated from the Septuagint, they will all have the same numbers in them. So two years after the flood, 1658 is when Arphaxad was born. And it goes on and says after he fathered Arphaxad, Shem lived another 500 years. And during that time he fathered other sons and daughters. So he had other sons. But we're interested in the firstborn son. Our FACS had lived 35 years and fathered Sheila. Now this is interesting here. If you think about it, two years after the flood, he is lived another 500. So he's 102 years old when he has a. When we look at these and we noticed this before, the total, or we'll see it in here, the total number of years, the first four generations, everybody lives to be about 400. After that, everybody lives to be about 200. So the flood obviously cut the lifespan in half. We've talked about that before, from the seven eight hundreds up to nine hundreds down to four hundreds. And then something happened four generations after the flood. A lot of us think it's the complete annihilation or whatever's left of the canopy was completely destroyed, letting in more cosmic radiation. Maybe that's it, maybe it's not. But something happened that cut the lifespans in half again. So now we're in the 200 range instead of the 400 range. And then it begins to slowly go down from there. Abraham lived to be 175. Isaac 165, Jacob 147, I think. And it goes down. The kids of Jacob were all in the 130s somewhere in that neighborhood. Joseph lived to be 110. Scripture says Moses a couple generations down, lived to be 120. And the Essenes say that from that time forward, if you use herbal medicine correctly, we can continue to be 120, which apparently is true because there are groups around the planet that do that today. So another plug for the Essene, herbal medicine. But going on here. So he. He lives 35 years and fathers Sheila. Okay. And after he fathered Sheila, our facts had lived 403 years and fathered other sons and daughters. So 403 plus 35. So it's. It's 448 years is what he lived. So mid-400s. Okay, we'll see that here. So then Sheila lived 30 years and fathered Eber. The interesting history on this, you've got Shem, who leads the Shiva, the school of Shem and Arphaxad, for whatever reason, not that he was necessarily a bad guy, but was not interested in the things of God as far as running the school. Now, however, Shem's grandson Eber is totally dedicated to the Lord and it becomes known as the Yeshiva or the School of Shem and Eber. Eventually, Shem dies, Eber takes it over. And when things start getting bad at the end of that time period, he makes copies of all the old records and hands them over to Levi, who is the first Levitical priest. And the priests then keep all the records, genealogical, the extra biblical prophecies, all that kind of stuff. And what we have of the Bible, patriarchal studies, all that information continues. And then the school was overrun and destroyed. And we know that Shem was a Melchizedekian priest. And what's interesting about it, apparently evil would have been also. But when the Amorites came in, they totally destroyed or took over the yeshiva. And of course, we know in the Dead Sea Scrolls are records of Nephilim technology. How do you create a nephilim? And I thought it was interesting that they thought the opposite of what we do. The Nephilim are from the fallen angels. The fallen angels are mentioned in Genesis 6, and we've talked about that kind of stuff before too. But we consider them the bad guys because God doesn't want us to Try to change his creation. They would consider it the opposite. They are the ones that are free, creating things, etc. So they take over the school, and you will notice shortly thereafter you have Amorites that are genetically different. So apparently they understand it, put it into practice. Somewhere along the line in Canaan, there were lots of giants, some from the Amorites, from this school taking information, and some we'll see in a little bit. So 30 years and he fathers Eber. Okay? And by the way, Eber is where we get the term Hebrews from Eberu or Ibari. And it means to pass over. It's from the other side of the river, basically. So he fathered. After he fathered, Eber, Shelah lived 403 years and fathered other sons and daughters. Eber lived 34 years and fathered Peleg. After he fathered peleg, Eber lived 430 years and fathered other sons and daughters. So his was 464. Yeah, he lived to be 464 years old. Okay, so if I'm adding those, right, unless this is the total, but either way, it's mid-400s. Interesting thing about this. Now, Peleg is the Hebrew word for Peleg. It says, actually when we go back to chapter 10, and it doesn't give us dates, but it gives us the family members and all that extra information. Some of the extra information. Peleg has a brother named Yaktan or Joktan, and it mentions where his kids went and they went to the area of China, that kind of stuff, or that area. Now, Peleg actually is anciently and in modern a word for division or earthquake. Joktan means division of families. And so a lot of people have looked at this, just this verse, and said, peleg, I wonder if that means earthquake, like continents dividing, or if it just means people expanding and going out other places. And we know from the prophecies, Jasher mentions this specifically. He's named Peleg because it's the time when the earthquakes stopped. After the flood, there was a series of earthquakes that continued to spread the continents out. It got so they were basically swarm earthquakes. And it got to the point that some of the land mass, smaller land masses, were actually called moving islands. Because every time you'd go there, they'd be in a different spot because of the earthquakes, the constant earthquakes. And in Peleg's day, we had the last big earthquake. And it actually is the earthquake that split the Tower of Babel. So the whole information system there is given to us. But Peleg means quake and you could look at it either way, but in contrast of Peleg and Jockton, it's an earthquake and it's the division of the families. So when the families started spreading out and then the earthquakes occurred, continents separated. And so you get the division of families because of the earthquakes. So interesting lifetime, lifetime of Peleg. So after he fathered Peleg, Iber lived 430 years and fathered other sons and daughters. Peleg lived 30 years and fathered Rue. After he fathered rue, Peleg lived 209 years and fathered other sons and daughters. So notice this. Everybody's in the 400s now. Everybody starts being in the 200s, 209, 207 on down, like that. So something has happened and it is connected with or at least partially connected with the earthquakes. What caused the earthquakes? Collapsing canopies, who knows what. But something. So in the time of Peleg is when the lifespans were shortened again. Rue lived 32 years and fathered Surug. After he fathered Sarag, Lou lived rue rather lived 207 years and fathered other sons and daughters. So again in the 200s, Saurugh lived 30 years and fathered Nahor. After he fathered nahor, Sarag lived 200 years. So 230 and fathered other sons and daughters. So Nimrod is. We're not getting there because it's mentioned in other places, but Nimrod lived to be 215 and apparently was still going fairly strong when he was killed. So interesting set like that. Matter of fact, I always thought it was interesting that he's 215 when he dies. And Esau, who was still a 15 year old boy, is the one that executed him with, you know, with a bow and arrow. Everybody's kind of. Even if you are just good at your craft. So anyway, it just goes to show you that number one, evil always gets punished. And number two, an adult male thinking that you don't have to pay attention to women and children, you really do. So Sarag lived 200 years and fathered other sons and daughters. Now, Nahor lived 29 years and fathered Tara. After he fathered Tara, Nahor lived 119 years and fathered other sons and daughters. So 119 plus 29, that gets us close to 150. So it's really beginning to slow down at this point. Tara lived 70 years and fathered Abraham or Abram. His name hadn't been changed yet. Nahor and Haran. So this is where we get our next problem. In the, in the sequence of genealogy. So the first one, everything was perfectly fine until we get to Noah, who had Shem, Ham and Japheth. And we're not sure which one he had at 600. But we're told in this chapter, Shem was 100 years old when he fathered Arphaxad, which was two years after the flood. So you can figure that out or just bypass it. And we get Noah +600, two years as Arphaxad's birth. Now everything is perfectly fine till we get down to Terah being 70 years old and he fathers Abraham and. Or Nahor and. Or Haran. Maybe they're triplets. Probably not. So we're not sure. And just because Abraham is the first doesn't mean he's the firstborn. It just simply means he's the most important. Just like it's Shem, Ham and Japheth. Shem wasn't the firstborn, but he's the most important. The genealogy we're going through now, when we look at other records, we come to find out the firstborn was Haran, and then it was Abraham. And Abraham is what we're talking about here. Though Abraham was born when Terah was 70 years old. So before that, actually, Haran was born, and Haran is the one who was killed in the fire. And, you know, all the other things mentioned in Jasher. So, anyway, so that's. That'll become Abraham. Next one, it says these are the family records of Terah. Terah fathered Abraham, Nahor and Haran. And Haran fathered Lot. So Lot was Abraham's nephew, is what we would call it. The son of his brother. Haran died in his native land in Ur of the Chaldees during his father's lifetime. And we remember the whole story about the fire and how he was executed. Abraham took Nahor, and Abraham and Nahor took wives. Abraham's wife was named Sarai, and Nahor's wife was named Milcah. She was the daughter of Haran, the father of both Milcah and Iscah. So this. A lot of times we look at this and, you know, he begins to call Sarah his sister. And it is. We're all brothers and sisters, but technically, if you wanted to be technical, she is his niece. And Nahor took Melka, that would be his niece. They're both from the brothers of Haran, and daughter of Haran. There should be daughters. Anyway, so that's that one. Now, Sarai was unable to conceive, and she did not have a child. Tara took his son Abram and his grandson Lot, Haran's son and his daughter in law Sarai, Abraham's wife. And they set out together from Ur of the Chaldees to go to the land of Canaan. But when they came to Haran, they settled there. There. And it ends by Saying Tara lived 205 years and died in Haran. And this is interesting because a lot of people looks, look at this and think, well okay, trying to do these numbers right. Abraham, you know, if he stayed there until Tara died, it's way past the time he would have went into because it's 205 years minus 70. That's how old Abraham would be at this point, which is way past 70. 70. 70 is 140, not 205. So people ask what's the deal with the questions here? And in other places it talks about Abraham going down into Canaan at 70 at 75. And in Jasher it also mentions 52. And so basically what's going on is God speaks to Abraham and says, I want you to go south to the land I'm going to give you. And because his family was there, it's probably why God said, don't take your family with you. But he did anyway. But he left his father there. Don't know if he went by himself or not. But he went to Canaan early, in his 50s, said okay, this is nice, went back to Haran. He went there when he was in his 770, went back, went back at 75. And then even when he permanently settled in Canaan, the year that we make it official, that's when he settled. He was there less than a year and he picked up and went to Egypt. Remember that's when he had the problem with Sarah and the pharaoh wanted her and kind of kidnapped her, you know, all that stuff. So he was down there for some time. Also lots of interesting historical stories in this. So anyway, eventually Tara died and there is a record in Jasher about when Abraham actually has Isaac. Isaac is born and a lot of lot of kids die real early. So you don't really celebrate the birth of a son until the son has been weaned. When it once he's off of milk and actually beginning to eat food, most likely he'll survive fine. So at they always do a celebration or back in that day they did a celebration of the weanings. So when Isaac was weaned, he's probably 3 to 5 years old, something like that. That's when he had the celebration celebrating his son Firstborn son. So at that point, you have his father, Terah, Shem and Eber, and the, I want to say Philistines, but that's not one of those guys. One of the other friends of Abraham actually all came to Abraham and they had a feast celebrating the weaning of Isaac. So that kind of shows you how what the stories, the timeline, and how this all works. So for tonight, though, what we want to look at is backing up with this going to the front. Actually, let me just go to our chart here. So here's the chart. Put it, putting it together. We have our facts at being born. And this is given in Genesis 11:10. It's in Jasher, 7, 19. And it's in the first chapter of the Seder. And again, the date would be 1658. So here's the first one. If we start with this is all Genesis 5, and then into 7, Abraham, Sath, Enos, Canaan, Mahaliel, Jared, Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech, Noah. And then the flood occurred. So you can date these, just adding them all up. And then we get to 1656 is the year of the flood. We remember it said two years after the flood, our fax head was born. So we're in line here. And then Shelah, Eber, Peleg, Rue, Serug, Nahor, Terah, and Abram. And that gets us from 1658 down to 1948. That's a really easy thing to remember if you think about Israel becoming a Nation in 1948 A.D. anno Domini. And then you think of Abraham, the father of the Jewish nation, as being born in 1948am from creation, Long, long time ago. But it's interesting, it's the same number on the different calendars. So that just helps you remember. So Abraham was born in 1948am Israel was reborn for the, the third time in 1948 A.D. so very, very important. But now what we want to look at this here, this is the chart that's given in Genesis. Now let's go over to Luke. This is Luke chapter three. And we look at the genealogy. So this is. I guess I went up here a little bit. Oh, no. So this actually starts with Jesus, kind of goes backwards. So it says that he began his ministry. Jesus was about 30 years old, and he was thought to be the son of Joseph, the son of Heli, the son of Mathad. And it just goes back. And don't, don't let this throw you. That he was thought to be. It's like Joseph. This means Joseph was not his Biological father. This is Joseph, the father of Mary. His biological father would be the Holy Spirit. So anyway, so it's Jesus, Joseph, Heli matthat, and on back. And when you compare, just side note, on our thing, when you look at Matthew and Luke, you'll notice they're basically the same genealogy, except when you get in this section right here, somehow the people are different and then they come back to the same again. And the father of Church history, which is Eusebius of Caesarea, he writes on this and he explains it's not a contradiction. One is going by the legal name. So when you have, according to the law of Moses, when a person of rank, like a king or priest or somebody gets married and then the wife dies, you know, he takes another wife, if the wife is the one we're focusing on, and the husband dies, or however that works to raise up seed for that family. The wife is supposed to marry the nearest of kin of the deceased husband. So the brother, hopefully the brother of her husband or an uncle or nephew or cousin or something. And she will have. When she has a firstborn son, he will be raised as the deceased person's heir. So all the lands, all the rights, the privileges, the name, if it's a kingship or priest or whatever, that's part of the law of Moses. And so what he's saying here is you've got Matthew and you've got Luke. One is following the biological father line, the other is following the legal father line. Only difference. And so a lot of people will point this out and try to say there's errors in Scripture or whatever. They're just two different legal documents. This goes all the way down to. We'll skip all of this. We get down to Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor, the son of Serag, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, son of Eber, son of Shelah, son of Canaan, son of Arphaxad, son of Shem, son of Noah, son of Lamech, and it goes all the way back to Adam, who is the son of God. So this is identical with Genesis, except we have this son of Canaan in here, which is not in Genesis or Jasher. For instance, you've got a footnote here, and it says some manuscripts omit son of Canaan. So the question is if, according to our text, and let's go back here and look real quick, we got Arphaxad right here. And then Arphaxad's child, firstborn Child is Shelah. So it's a faxed Shelah and Eber, right? So here we have. Going backwards here, we've got Arphaxad, Shelah, Eber, Peleg, but we've got this Canaan person in here. So the question is, did something get inserted in Luke that shouldn't be there? Did something get left out of Genesis that should be there? What's the story with this Canaan guy? Okay, and so what we're going to see here in a minute, how the confusion started. Number one, there is a Canaan, same spelling. That was a son of Ham. And he came up the coast and settled Tire and Sidon. That's. That's very clearly mentioned in Scripture also. And what happens is Canaan decides to colonize. They're not supposed to be up in Shem's territory. They're supposed to stay in Africa. That was their allotment. But he came up the coast all the way up to what we would call southern Lebanon today, founded Sidon, and then his descendants, a few generations later, founded Tyre. Just started colonizing that. During the same time, Nimrod started a war with the sons of Japheth. And that was. So if you're looking at Israel, Canaan is on the coast. So it's the northwest part of Canaan, or what will become Israel. And Nimrod attacks the sons of Jacob up in the. Sons of Japheth, rather. Up in the northwestern part. Northeastern part, rather. So basically, they're coming at it from two different angles. As they spread in, they form this net, so to speak, and kind of take over the entire area. Nimrod becomes the king, and then we have the Tower of Babel, the false religious system, the tyranny, and all the other things described in Jasher, Josephus, Seder, Alam and all the other texts, church fathers. So this is what's going on. That was the first world empire, which was given in a prophecy to Noah in his dream, which is part of Noah's testament, which is basically quickly described in Genesis as the dream that he woke up and then he cursed Canaan because of what was about to happen. So all that's completely explained. But in this case, again, it's like the question is, who is this Canaan? Is that the Canaan we're talking about? Is it another Canaan? And why is it left out? I mean, is Arphaxad Canaan? And then Sheila? So is Shela the son of Arphaxad like it says in Genesis? Or would it be the grandson of Arphaxad the way it seems to be here. So how does that work? What we're going to find out is that Arphaxad had a son named Canaan. He also had a son named Shelah. And this one may have been the firstborn son and this one the second born son. But the lineage, okay, goes by however it goes, what the Lord tells them to do. So notice like Abraham had Isaac and Ishmael. Ishmael first. So you'd think the covenant goes to Ishmael. No, it went to Isaac because God said, isaac has two sons, Jacob and Esau. Esau was the first. You would think that the lineage would go through Esau. No, it goes through Jacob because God said. And so normally, unless something happens, it always goes by firstborn son. But sometimes it does not. So let's look at the story from some of the old manuscripts about this guy named Canaan. And I think this will clear this up, these little things. That's interesting. Some of the old manuscripts will have an extra name or an extra point. And at first you look at them and you think it's a contradiction. But there's usually a really interesting story if you look at this. So this is from the book of Jubilees. And remember, our book of Jubilees is translated from the Ethiopic. The Hebrew has been lost and may be recovered in the near future. But right now all we have is the Ethiopic. So just like we mentioned, the, the Septuagint, same basic information, except the numbers are all garbled. This is going to have the same thing. It's going to have a garbled number system because of whoever put it together. And it's obviously garbled because it starts going, starts perfect with the genealogies. And it starts getting off by this number of years, more and more and more. And it gets to the point where it's 300 years off from Genesis. Then as you go forward from that point, you'll notice it starts getting closer and closer and closer. By the time you get to this, the death of Jacob or Joseph, somewhere in there, it's like within a year of Genesis. So no matter how you do it, you can tell that somebody added them up wrong halfway through and somebody tried to correct it going back. So the numbers are off no matter how you look at it. But. So forget about the numbers in this thing. This is from the Ethiopic. So let's just read this. This is chapter eight, talking about Shem's descendants when the earth was divided. These are peleg it says in the 29th Jubilee in the first week, that's in the first seven year period or shmita of that jubilee period in the beginning thereof, which should be approximately 1373, more or less our faxid. And this would be Shem's son or fax that he's grown up. He took to himself a wife. Her name was whatever. Again, this is going to be a Hebrew word into Geas, back into English. So it's not the actual name, the Hebrew name Rausha or something. Daughter of Shushan, the daughter of Elam. Now that very well could be. We know that Elam was one of Shem's sons. One of his sons is Shushan. And in Persia, in that area, Shushan became named after him, became one of the capitals. So this is probably correct. I just doubt that this is actually her name. We'll just call her Ra's. So daughter of Elam. And she bore to him a son in the third year of this week. So that would be two years later. Okay. And he called his name Canaan. Now again, you can see this here, this is Kainam. And again the difference between the Hebrew into the Ge' EZ back into the English. Think of the King James, how instead of saying the prophet Hosea, it says the prophet Osee. All they're doing is going from Hebrew to Greek to English. This is from Hebrew to Ge', ez probably Ge' EZ and Amharic and then into English. So no telling. Okay, but anyway, so our faxed took one of the daughter granddaughters of Shem, you know, through Elam. And she bore to him a son in the third week. They called his name Canaan. There you go, that's one of the Canaans. Now that's his son. There's also this other Canaan back in that comes up to colonize, that is descendant from Ham. So one of these Canaans is the one we're talking about. And remember when Abraham awoke from his dream? Abraham, no, Noah awoke from his dream. He said, cursed be Canaan. After he found out what Ham had done. A lot more to that story than just that. Remember that Genesis is trying to pull everything together in the first six chapters. It's like remember the big wars? Remember the Nephilim thing? Remember what Ham did? Remember the whole thing about that one guy. This is when this happened. And it happened in this sequence. That's all the first six chapters are doing. You're supposed to already know most of the history. And he's bringing back to you it's like, remember when we got started here in the United States, there was this British Empire thing and there was this George Washington guy. And then stuff happened. And here we are, you know, just to say the George Washington guy. You guys are thinking like, I know tons of stories about George Washington. So this is the same thing going on here. So this Canaan guy, his son grew and his father taught him writing, okay? And he went to seek for himself a place where he might seize for himself a city. Now this is interesting because when we look at this, sees for himself a city. It makes you think that he's going to go find some city, take some guys, maybe slaughter everybody that's there, whatever, take over the city, or maybe find an abandoned city. And that could be what it's saying. It could also be he's going to seize for himself a city. In other words, he's going to build his city, but it's in seized territory. It's in the area of where Shem is at. Okay? Now if this is Canaan, a direct biological son of Arphaxad, he is okay to be there in that area. If we're talking about Canaan, the son of Ham, he's not okay to be in that area. Anyway, he goes to seek for himself a city. What I'm saying is the two Canaan stories may be somewhat garbled, especially in this text. But anyway, he found a writing which in the former generations, that would be pre flood. He found a writing which in the former generations had carved on a rock. So they were basalt tablets. Actually, he read what was written thereon and he transcribed it. Now that's interesting. He transcribed it. So it's not the normal language that he has. It's a different script. Now if this is something from the Watchers, it could very easily be an angelic script, which, you know, there, there is some evidence to that kind of stuff. It's not the normal early postfud language that he's used to. So he transcribed it, okay? And sinned owning to it. He believed what was written and he followed directions. Well, what was written on it, for it contained the teaching of the Watchers. So the watchers, that's. That's a term for angels, either fallen or not. It's those that watch, record, do things. And you've got the ones that are doing this for God and you've got fallen angels who are actually watchers. And in Genesis, in Jubilees, in Enoch and some of the early church fathers, they make mention of the Genesis 6 group of angels. That are watchers that fell. So this is what we're talking about. Those fallen angels of Genesis 6 wrote down stuff. So he finds this. Now this is interesting if you think about it. You can pull more of this together. Where would he have found such a thing? Well, according to the old text, the angels, the 600 or 200 rather, that came down on Mount Hermon, that's in Genesis 6 and in mentioned here a little bit in other places in here and in Okavinac. And it mentions that they descended, they started their genetic experiments. And this information, which is what's carved on a rock here, is actually written in some of the Dead Sea Scrolls. We have something called the. The Book of Giants that explains how they were created, how you do the genetic tampering. Not enough that you could look at it and just go to your kitchen and cook some stuff and do it. But it's very clearly talking about mixing species, using certain herbs to make sure the pregnancies go through that they shouldn't, creating unstable life forms. And if you know ahead of time what you're doing, you mix the right unstable life forms together and you get the desired result. Okay. And of course, in the Book of Jasher, it mentions the fact that they taught the mixture of birds with animals. So something like a Pegasus. I don't know if there ever really was a Pegasus, but that kind of a concept, something like that happened. And so we have all these things. So it says it the thing that he got contain the teaching of the watchers in accordance with what they used to observe. Omens in the sun and the moon and all the star and all in the stars and all the signs of heaven. So this is the stuff that's. If you, if you read Enoch the first, well, chapter six to 18, it talks about the things that the angels taught the people. So this is definitely part of the information that was taught by the angels pre flood. So it contains religious stuff, science stuff, and then also apparently other stuff. Because we know shortly thereafter, all of a sudden in the land of Canaan, not shortly within took several generations, but we have giants in the land of Canaan. Not just giant people, but giant grapes, all sorts of giant things in the land of Canaan. So he's turning this practice back on again. He wrote down and said nothing regarding it, for he was afraid to speak to Noah about it. Least he should be angry with him on this account. Yeah, yeah. If you're going to redo the problems, start up something that caused the problems that caused the flood. Yeah, I don't think you should be doing that. But that's what he did. And he goes on and talks about Shem's descendants. So let's see. So here's a note at the bottom. It says, canaan occurs in the Septuagint version of Genesis 11:13 and in Luke 3:36. But in no other manuscript. This could be a mistake. It could be talking about Canaan, the son of Ham, or the Canaan from Shem's line. So either case, here's what we know. There is a Canaan that is born. And if we go on, let me see if we. Okay, let me just read the next couple verses, and I think this will help explain it. So Starting in verse 5, it says in the 13th Jubilee, in the second week, the first week, first year thereof, he. Now who is he? You would assume we're going from Arphaxad to Canaan, and Canaan now is going to take a wife and have a son. So that would get us, like in Luke, the Arphaxad, Canaan, Shelah, Eber, Peleg. But he, whoever he is, he took himself a wife, his first one or another one. Or if first wife died, you know, who knows? And her name was Melka, the daughter of Madai, son of Joseph. She's the daughter of Madi. Madi is the son of Joseph, and in the fourth year begot a son and called his name Sheila. For he said, truly, I have been sent. Now go. Going forward. If you look at six, it says in the fourth year he was born, and in the fourth year he was born. Okay, And Shelah grew up and took for himself a wife. So here's Shelah getting ready to get married. So what we could be looking at here is Arphaxad giving birth to Canaan, Canaan taking a wife and having Shelah, and then Shelah taking a wife. Or we could be looking at Arphaxad taking a wife, having Canaan, and then getting married again and having Sheila and then Sheila taking a wife. And, you know, they may have multiple wives and then having Peleg and Ru. And so all the way down. So this is, I think, how we're getting this. So we've got one set of manuscripts that say, I'm just going back to here. We've got Arphaxad, Sheila, Eber, Peleg, and you've got another set of manuscripts that have Arfaxed, Canaan, Sheila, Eber, Peleg. So either Canaan is the one taking the. The Nephilim stuff, the one from Ham, or the son of Arphaxad and remember, because they all said they had many other sons and daughters. But we're talking about in this lineage, the firstborn. So it should be Arphaxad, Shelah, Eber Peleg. Scripture is very clear on this. It's like when he is so many years old, he has Shelah. And when Shelah is so many years old, we have Eber. So even if Arphaxad did have firstborn, second born, whatever son named Canaan, he was still a certain number of years old when Sheila was born. So it doesn't change the genealogy or the timeline or anything. It's just interesting. Like when we get into Luke, it doesn't give you dates. It just says Sheila Canaan. Or our fact said Canaan, Sheila, Eber Peleg, and on down like that. So that's the information on that. So we have. Okay, so this is just From Jubilees, chapter 8, information on that. Again, Luke 3 has Noah Shem or faxed Canaan Sheila? And so again, even if this is correct, our facsit has Shelah when he's a certain age. And so this person, for whatever reason, if we're talking about his son, is not counted in the genealogies. Not saying he's necessarily a bad person. Much like the reason why Arphaxad didn't take the school. Why isn't it the school of Sham and Arphaxad, father and son? Why is it father and grandson? Maybe he's a bad guy. Maybe he just didn't care. But it is interesting that our facs had may have been a bad guy and Canaan may have been the bad guy. He might be the Canaan that actually restarted the science of the Watchers. So. And there's lots of stuff like that. So another possibility is that he's the son of Canaan. Could be adoptive, like a Leviot marriage or something like that, if they even had that back then. But something along those lines that would actually explain a lot why Canaan son of Ham comes up and attacks or builds tyre. And if you're trying to find these manuscripts, by the way, and you know that it all started on Mount Hermon, but you're not wanting to run around and get in trouble for being somewhere you're not, you're going to come up the coast and found a city, or at least a small place that you can stay. Small city, small town, village, something like that. As close as you can to the place you want to go. And you'll notice if you go all the way up the coast to where we have tire. And then if you go from tire straight across, it's a straight line to Mount Hermon. So it's like he's trying to skirt the issue until he gets up to the place where this is the closest, the best you can do. So you park here and try to get here without being noticed. So really interesting type stuff. We know Amorites took the science of the Watchers, we know the Canaanites took the science of the Watchers, and there was giants in the land. And Nephilim stuff started up again. So this, I think, answers several questions. One question is that people always ask. It's like, well, if the flood destroyed all the fallen angels, the Nephilim, all the sons, they're all gone, then how do we get giants in the land of Canaan? We find people who find manuscripts like the ones in the Dead Sea Scrolls that explain how they did this. They start following directions, and pretty soon you have similar life forms. Not exactly the way the angels did it, but similar. So that's what's going on here. The other thing we got to remember is that the fallen angels were immortal. They did metamorphosize. So they are some sort of physical type being, but they are chained literally under Euphrates. In different places, the sons and the daughters were slaughtered because they were human. Their spirits become demons. So you have fallen angels, which are totally different than humans and humans. And fallen angels are totally different than demons. Demons used to be corporeal until they were all slaughtered pre flood. And so now we have the demonic thing. After the flood, there were way too many demons tempting people and doing weird stuff. So nine tenths of them, according to the script, according to one of the manuscripts, were chained up. And so at that point, it's either Jasher Jubilees or Enoch. But at that point, we only have a tenth of the people. So it's interesting that we have, during the tribulation period, according to Revelation, we have the pit being open and the demonic locusts coming out. They've been chained there for thousands of years. And so at this point, we have 10 times the amount of demonic activity on Earth than we do right now. Ten times worse, just for the sheer amount of them. Okay, so again, when I started this off, I was saying that this is April 27, 2026. And so next week, next Sunday is May 3, and May 3 is the anniversary of the flood. So 4,295 years ago, next Sunday is when the flood occurred. And that's when everything was destroyed that year. So these demonic beings continued after that. Sometime after the flood, they were imprisoned, nine tenths of them. And they've been there ever since and will be released in the tribulation period. Another reason why you want to become a Christian and follow the Lord and be raptured. Before any of that stuff happens, we'll go ahead and stop there. For tonight, I just wanted to kind of share this stuff with you. I find it fascinating, and there's just certain questions that come up all the time, and, you know, it's just nice to look at those. This was kind of sparked with someone ways back that asked the question in Genesis about when Genesis says the sons of God saw the daughters of men. And it said that it happened then and then also after that, when the sons of God came to the daughters of men and children were born to them. And that afterwards part, a lot of people think, well, if it happened then and then it happened afterwards. There's another incursion that's probably post flood, right? You could get that out of looking at the English. And what we did is we went to the Aramaic Targum, which gives more detail. And instead of just saying that it happened then, demons were then. And then also after that, when the sons of man or sons of God came to the daughters of men. And if you look at that, and it makes sense because it's a certain thing happening at a certain point, and then after, whatever that is, after that is when the sons of God came to the daughters of men. So we're not Talking about Genesis 6 and then something afterwards, we're talking about something that happened before Genesis 6 and then Genesis 6. And of course, if you know the other stories, you've got Azazel coming and doing genetic experiments so many generations before the 200 came on Mount Hermon. And so when you look at this in the Targum, it actually says that in those days when Azazel and Shimyaza were on the Earth, those are the two leaders. Azazel did his thing independently. Shimyaza was the leader of the 200 that came and descended on Mount Hermon. So it's interesting to look at that and then you go back and you look at it, it makes perfect sense. There were demons on the earth in those days, or giants on the earth on those days, the days of when this started with Azazel. And then also after that, when plural, the sons of God, which is Shimyaza and his group, came to the daughters of men. So it makes perfect sense. There is no second incursion type thing in Genesis 6, it's talking about Azazel and then Shimyaza, a few generations apart. Anyway, so lots of interesting things. If we just go back to the church fathers, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and then some of these other writings, knowing that any of them can be garbled. Like I say, especially when you're dealing with dates, certain colored rocks, certain small animals, things like that, the breastplates, you know, we know there's a red stone that could be a garnet, could be a ruby, could be all sorts of things. And so you're not sure something gets lost in the translation.
