10 Noah’s generation and human development

According to Genesis, Noah is the descendent of Adam who endured flood as world get

corrupted with wickedness. He carried with him multiple pairs of animals, clean and

unclean, in his ark The flood wiped out everything that existed, then Noah disembarked

from the Ark and released all creatures to start the new world. Quran states the same

story but not as detail as Genesis but in a bit different context. It doesn’t specify the

number of Noah’s sons and their fate except one who was drowned during the flood.

Genesis 7 (1-5) The Lord then said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family,

because I have found you righteous in this generation. Take with you seven pairs of every

kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal,

a male and its mate, and also seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep

their various kinds alive throughout the earth. Seven days from now I will send rain on

the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every

living creature I have made.” And Noah did all that the Lord commanded him.

Q [23:27] We then inspired him: "Make the watercraft under our watchful eyes, and in

accordance with our inspiration. When our command comes, and the atmosphere boils

up, put on it a pair of every kind, and your family, except those condemned to be doomed.

Do not speak to Me on behalf of those who transgressed; they will be drowned.

Q [54:13] We carried him on a watercraft made of logs and ropes.

Noah’s Ark as believed

www.ScripturesAndI.com 2

The story of Noah is preached and believed by billions as a literal event. Where Noah is a

descendent of Adam, the first man, defying the evolution contradicting science and the

vastness of the creation - number of animals, plants and many more. A literal event of

that magnitude, flood across the globe or some described as local to add up the story,

construction of a primitive ship to carry pairs of each animal just can’t happen. It’s

absurd! No one can comprehend the size of the ship with the animals on board – can you?

Yet, the scriptures talk about it with great detail. Is scripture wrong or our derivation?

Is it possible that the scripture is referring to events in allegorical terms that refer to our

lives – the beginning, the reflection and the realization with great accuracy? Is it trying to

put together our wickedness in the world and our decay, the reflection of inception of life

in mother’s womb from a single sperm, and rediscovery of the awesome creations that we

live in – animal, plants, earth and cosmos? Can Biblical fates of Noah’s sons except

Shem are the beginning of the wickedness whereas in Quran, death of Noah’s son is the

reflection and birth of Shem. In one aspect, Noah is the beginning of Adam and in the

other aspect he is the end and the discovery of Adam. This is not contradictory rather

correlated facts and complementing each other.

To align Noah’s family tree with a human psychophysical development, I will divide

generations of Noah and his subsequent generation into two major groups; Noah to Jacob

and Jacob to Children of Israel. I will not go into Shem’s lineage details - first son of

Noah, rather will touch base little on other lineages as well. We will also look into the

scriptural kingship among children of Israel led by Saul, David and Solomon. One thing I

want you to remember that these generations are not true human generations but

discovery of our psycho physical orientation, something like, one leads to other as stated

in the beginning.

High level family tree in two groups with meanings of their names

10.1 Noah to Jacob

The family tree from Noah to Jacob has multiple generations. If we look straight down

from Noah; it’s Noah to Shem, Shem to Abraham, Abraham to Ishmael/Isaac, and Isaac

to Esau/Jacob. As usual, we will lay down the family tree and look at the meaning of

their names. Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth. Ham had four sons and one

them was Canaan. In Genesis, Noah curses Canaan when Ham told his brothers about his

father Noah who was drunk and naked in his tent. Shem and Japheth covered his father

and looked the other way. It’s not a curse of his grandson as one might think rather it’s

the realization of pain in life which is endured in Canaan. It’s synonymous to Quranic

verses where God warns to safe guard against devil who duped to remove garments and

expose our bodies.

Genesis 9 24-27 When Noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son

had done to him, he said,

“Cursed be Canaan!

The lowest of slaves

will he be to his brothers.”

He also said,

“Praise be to the Lord, the God of Shem!

May Canaan be the slave of Shem.

May God extend Japheth’s territory;

may Japheth live in the tents of Shem,

and may Canaan be the slave of Japheth.”

Q [7:27] O children of Adam, do not let the devil dupe you as he did when he caused the

eviction of your parents from Paradise, and the removal of their garments to expose their

bodies. He and his tribe see you, while you do not see them. We appoint the devils as

companions of those who do not believe.

10.1.1 Shem to Abraham

From Noah to Abraham there are ten generations. To me, it seems as the beginning of our

physical creation in our mother’s womb from a sperm of our father. It aligns well with

the steps of human development. To note, the realization of SELF also follows the same

steps and the first revelation of Quran begins with our creation. Let’s go a bit deeper in

Shem to Abraham’s family tree.

Q 96:1-2 Read, in the name of your Lord, who created. He created man from an embryo.

I will start from Eber, fourth generation of Shem, to understand what these generations

are all about. Eber (Region beyond) indicates something we can’t see. If we look down

the family hierarchy, the next generations are Peleg (watercourse separation), Rell (roll),

Serug (Branch or Twining), Nahor (dry/hot), Terah (Station) and Abraham (Father of

many). If we look at the steps in a child development in mother’s womb, aren’t these the

stages? Which starts with fertilization of egg (separation from watercourse), fertilized

egg rolls or travels through Fallopian tube into Uterus, cell divides or branches rapidly,

the formation of a separate entity, it station’s itself to uterine wall and the heart starts to

beat. Heart is the synonym of Abraham which nourishes all physical component of a

human body, all our emotional and psychological being hence the name “father of

many”.

www.ScripturesAndI.com 5

Shem to Abraham

10.1.2 Abraham to Israel

Now going down from Terah, he had three sons; Abraham, Nahor and Haran. Nahor, son

of Terah, isn’t the same as father of Terah - it’s our psychological being. Abraham’s wife

Sarah (princess, laughter) can’t get pregnant so Abraham slept with Hagar (flight) to

have his first son Ishmael (EL will hear). Later, Sarah becomes pregnant with Isaac

(laughter) and that leads to the sacrifice of Ishmael after he believed the dream per

Quran. However, Bible indicates it was Isaac not Ishmael. If we look a bit detail of these

entities and their relationships with human formation, it will be clear that it was Ishmael

not Isaac who was taken to mountain for sacrifice. After the heart starts to beat, the first

physical aspect to form is the nervous system. To me, that’s what Ishmael is all about.

It’s how we communicate with God or God knows who we are, as God is closer to us

than our heart. It’s an inward journey to know God or an inward suffering for our

transgression. Isaac means laughter which is the next physical formation which looks like

a laughter. In addition to this, the attainment of consciousness follows the same path once

we become aware of our inner entities.

Isaac marries Rebekh (secured) and gives birth to Esau (Hairy) and Jacob (holder of the

heel). Esau and Jacob are twins. Esau was born first then Jacob. Now, if we compare this

with our development, the laughter shape in our mother’s womb which is secured with

placenta turns to head and body. Our journey to physical world as a baby begins with

head first then body. So, in other words, Esau is the representation of our head and Jacob

is the body. To note, Jacob and Kabah both words are derived from the same Arabic

Root, Kaf-Ayn-Ba which means ankle. So, the question to answer, is Kabah the black

stone or the psychophysical body? Just like the human development, our journey to

consciousness has the same steps which have a physical component as well - the

recreation of us on the day of resurrection to enjoy the bliss of life in paradise.

Q [21:104] On that day, we will fold the heaven, like the folding of a book. Just as we

initiated the first creation, we will repeat it. This is our promise; we will certainly carry it

out.

Later in Genesis, Jacob is renamed to Israel (Wrestled with El) when Jacob realized he

wrestled with God during the whole night. It was the night before he sent all his children

across by crossing the stream; however, he didn’t go with his children. Realization of this

night is the Laila-tul-Qadar (night of destiny) in Quran or Shivaratri (night of light) in

Santana Dharma. This eventual journey to Misr by “Children of Israel” symbolizes our

psychological transgression to a land where we don’t belong. Events in Misr, Moses, and

Pharaoh are in our memory for reflection and realization. These reflections start with the

“burning bush”, an allegory, and an accidental entry into the psycho-physical city called

Misr. This transgression causes enormous pain and sufferings which takes down our

health and well being noted allegorically as Hell in Quran.

Genesis 32 22-31 That night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two female servants

and his eleven sons and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. 23 After he had sent them across

the stream, he sent over all his possessions.24 So Jacob was left alone, and a man

wrestled with him till daybreak.25 When the man saw that he could not overpower him,

he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the

man. Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.” But Jacob replied, “I will not

let you go unless you bless me.” The man asked him, “What is your name?”

“Jacob,” he answered. Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but

Israel, because you have struggled with EL (God) and with humans and have overcome.”

So Jacob called the place Peniel, saying, “It is because I saw God face to face, and yet

my life was spared.” The sun rose above him as he passed Peniel, and he was limping

because of his hip. Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the tendon attached to

the socket of the hip, because the socket of Jacob’s hip was touched near the tendon.

Q [32:23] We have given Moses the scripture - do not harbor any doubt about meeting

Him - and we made it a guide for the Children of Israel.

Q [28:15] Once he entered the city unexpectedly, without being recognized by the

people. He found two men fighting; one was from his people, and the other was from his

enemies. The one from his people called on him for help against his enemy. Moses

punched him, killing him. He said, "This is the work of the devil; he is a real enemy, and

a profound misleader."

[97:1] We revealed it in the Night of Destiny.

10.1.3 Children of Israel

Usually, when we read the scriptures, children of Israel are interpreted as righteous and

God’s chosen people who were led out of Egypt by Moses. As we will see later, there are

two different Moses mentioned in the scripture; one of the believers and other of the

“Children of Israel” both derived from the same “Children of Israel”. According to the

Genesis, there are twelve sons of Jacob and a daughter, and there are twelve sons of

www.ScripturesAndI.com 8

Ishmael and a daughter. To make the hierarchy a bit complicated yet meaningful, Esau

marries the only daughter of Ishmael – Bashemath (fragrance).

Quran doesn’t mention sons of Ishmael; they aren’t well understood and discussed in

Islam. They are less discussed among Jews and Christians as Moses and Jesus come from

the Levi - the third child of Jacob and Leah. Moreover, Ishmael is vilified in Christianity

as he was the son of Hagar, maid of Sarah, and deemed inauspicious. Also, it’s assumed

that Mohammed is from Ishmael’s lineage, so, the hatred is lived on. If we look into the

Abraham’s lineage as a literal human history, what are the chances of his two sons having

exact twelve numbers of sons each and a daughter? To me, not in my wildest dream, yet

the infallible scripture talks about it with greater detail. So, as I have stated before, the

scripture must be addressing something else not the literal human or religious history. As

usual, let’s look into the meaning of their names and see how it relates to an individual

human psychology and thought processes.

Genesis 23-26 Jacob had twelve sons: The sons of Leah: Reuben the firstborn of

Jacob,Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar and Zebulun. The sons of Rachel: Joseph and

Benjamin. The sons of Rachel’s servant Bilhah: Dan and Naphtali. The sons of Leah’s

servant Zilpah: Gad and Asher.

Genesis 25 13:16 These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, listed in the order of their

birth: Nebaioth the firstborn of Ishmael, Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, Mishma, Dumah,

Massa, Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish and Kedemah. These were the sons of Ishmael, and

these are the names of the twelve tribal rulers according to their settlements and camps.

Quran [5:12] GOD had taken a covenant from the Children of Israel, and we raised

among them twelve patriarchs. And GOD said, "I am with you, so long as you observe

the Contact Prayers (Salat), give the obligatory charity (Zakat), and believe in My

messengers and respect them, and continue to lend GOD a loan of righteousness. I will

then remit your sins, and admit you into gardens with flowing streams. Anyone who

disbelieves after this, has indeed strayed off the right path."

10.1.3.1 Family of Jacob

Jacob’s twelve sons and a daughter came from his two wives, Leah and Rachel, and two

concubines, Billah and Zilpah. Leah and Rachel are daughters of Leban who is the

brother of Rebekh - wife of Isaac. Billah and Zilpah was Rachel’s and Leah’s servant,

respectively. Jacob marries Leah and Rachel for his father for fourteen years.

Genesis 29 15-30 After Jacob had stayed with him for a whole month, Laban said to him,

“Just because you are a relative of mine, should you work for me for nothing? Tell me

what your wages should be.” Now Laban had two daughters; the name of the older was

Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. Leah had weak eyes, but Rachel had a

lovely figure and was beautiful. Jacob was in love with Rachel and said, “I’ll work for

www.ScripturesAndI.com 9

you seven years in return for your younger daughter Rachel.” Laban said, “It’s better

that I give her to you than to some other man. Stay here with me.” So Jacob served seven

years to get Rachel, but they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for

her. Then Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife. My time is completed, and I want to

make love to her.” So Laban brought together all the people of the place and gave a

feast. But when evening came, he took his daughter Leah and brought her to Jacob, and

Jacob made love to her. And Laban gave his servant Zilpah to his daughter as her

attendant. When morning came, there was Leah! So Jacob said to Laban, “What is this

you have done to me? I served you for Rachel, didn’t I? Why have you deceived

me?” Laban replied, “It is not our custom here to give the younger daughter in marriage

before the older one. Finish this daughter’s bridal week; then we will give you the

younger one also, in return for another seven years of work.” And Jacob did so. He

finished the week with Leah, and then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to be his wife.

Laban gave his servant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as her attendant. Jacob made love

to Rachel also, and his love for Rachel was greater than his love for Leah. And he

worked for Laban another seven years.

After the marriages and at the end, Leah had six sons and a daughter, Zilpah had two

sons, Rachel had two sons, and Bilhah had two sons. These 12 sons together are children

of Jacob and later become named as “Children of Israel”, when God named Jacob as

Israel (wrestle with EL).

Among the twelve brothers, Joseph was the dearest to Jacob and Benjamin was the

youngest of all. As the story goes, Joseph brothers threw him into well, who was picked

up by a passer by to be sold and later ended up working as treasurer of Pharaoh of Misr.

If we look closely at the meaning of the names, we can see a complete different picture.

All the names, except Benjamin, who is unconscious SELF, indicate characteristics of

each of us in unconscious state. We love the sky God in need, Jehovah, and ask for

increase in provisions, and follow the worldly pleasure and religious establishments as

sheep’s. We are unworried of the day, we judge and get judged by EL which is our inner

struggle. We are uncertain about the future and believe in luck and fortune. We think

ourselves as prince, look for praise, obedient to religious establishment and behold

ourselves with sons. This whole acquired psychology tears us down, we feel tired and

worship cow or desire as the exit of our misery. This desire in the hereafter turns

ourselves against us and our fellow humans making our world within, psychophysical, a

disaster. The hell breaks out!

Quran [16:58-59] When one of them gets a baby girl, his face becomes darkened with

overwhelming grief. Ashamed, he hides from the people, because of the bad news given to

him. He even ponders: should he keep the baby grudgingly, or bury her in the dust.

Miserable indeed is their judgment.

Quran 2:93-95 We made a covenant with you, as we raised Mount Sinai above you,

saying, "You shall uphold the commandments we have given you, strongly, and listen."

They said, "We hear, but we disobey." Their hearts became filled with adoration for the

calf, due to their disbelief. Say, "Miserable indeed is what your faith dictates upon you, if

you do have any faith." Say, "If the abode of the Hereafter is reserved for you at GOD, to

the exclusion of all other people, then you should long for death, if you are truthful."

They never long for it, because of what their hands have sent forth. GOD is fully aware of

the wicked.

Quran [4:78] Wherever you are, death will catch up with you, even if you live in

formidable castles. When something good happens to them, they say, "This is from

GOD," and when something bad afflicts them, they blame you. Say, "Everything comes

from GOD." Why do these people misunderstand almost everything?

10.1.3.2 Family of Levi

Among all the children of Israel, Bible went a greater detail in documenting the children

of Levi and for a very good reason. This lineage of Jacob has the key to understand the

all aspects of scripture and to bring the scripture to life. Additionally, understanding this

lineage and mapping to our life will resurrect our consciousness and health brining joy to

our living. According to Wikipedia, Levites, descendant of Levi, principal roles in the Temple

included singing Psalms during Temple services, performing construction and maintenance for the Temple,

serving as guards, and performing other services. Levites also served as teachers and judges, maintaining

cities of refuge in biblical times. The Book of Ezra reports that the Levites were responsible for the

construction of the Second Temple and also translated and explained the Torah when it was publicly read.

Let’s now dive into the family hierarchies and meaning of the names. The name “Levi”

means “attached/joined”. As I understand, it’s something that we need to discover and is

not aware of. Levi had three sons, Gershon, Kohath and Merrari. Kohath had four sons,

Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzzeil. Amram married Jochabed and had a daughter,

Miriam, and two sons, Moses and Aaron. Moses marries Zipporah and had two sons,

Elizer and Gershom.

www.ScripturesAndI.com 12

Now, if we analyze the tree with our unconscious state, it is apparent that “Stranger”,

“not sure where I belong”, and “Sadness” are attached to 11 children of Israel or

ourselves till we understand the assembly of the prime characteristics which is derived

from the identification of Jochabed, “Yahweh as glory”, as the cause of misery thus

Moses is resurrected. The sea of sorrows slowly turns to rebellious, Miriam, and signs of

organized religion, Aaron, comes to light. Moses marries either Trumpet (Horn) or

Mourning giving birth to “El is my help” and Foreigner/stranger. These two children

work both ways – salvation or transgression. It’s invisible for transgression but visible for

salvation. Miriam is also the mother of Jesus, righteousness, attached to Amram through

Miriam to be discussed in later section.

[3:33] GOD has chosen Adam, Noah, the family of Abraham, and the family of Amram to

the people.

[50:20] The horn is blown; this is the promised day.

[19:71-72] Every single one of you must see it; this is an irrevocable decision of your

Lord. Then we rescue the righteous, and leave the transgressors in it, humiliated.

10.2 Kings of “Children of Israel”

In the scriptures, after the demise of Moses, “Children of Israel” was always lead by

Kings. They always wanted a king to lead them out of their misery, sheep like attitude,

but personally are reluctant to do anything and, always felt suffered and oppressed. They

are worshipers of Yahweh (I am). Here, I want to refer back to the devil’s whisper as

discussed earlier. He wants each of us to think we are “Kings” yet wanted to have kings

to lead us out. We will look into details of three kings from Bible and Quran, and will

leave some thoughts for these kings to be aligned with Sanatan Dharma scripture,

Mahabharata, in later sections.

In Quran “Children of Israel” asked their prophet, Samuel (EL has heard) a generic

Biblical name though not mention in Quran, to appoint a king for them. “Allah” appoints

Taloot (Saul) to be their king because of his health and knowledge but “Children of

Israel” refuses to acknowledge him as he was not rich. Their prophet also said that “Ark

of Covenant” will be restored to them as an assurance from their Lord and relics left by

people of Moses and Aaron. It will be carried by the angels for the believers.

2:247 Their prophet said to them, "GOD has appointed Taloot (Saul) to be your king."

They said, "How can he have kingship over us when we are more worthy of kingship than

he; he is not even rich?" He said, "GOD has chosen him over you, and has blessed him

with an abundance in knowledge and in body." GOD grants His kingship to whomever

He wills. GOD is Bounteous, Omniscient.

2:248 Their prophet said to them, "The sign of his kingship is that the Ark of the

Covenant will be restored to you, bringing assurances from your Lord, and relics left by

www.ScripturesAndI.com 13

the people of Moses and the people of Aaron. It will be carried by the angels. This should

be a convincing sign for you, if you are really believers."

Saul took the command of troops and asked “Children of Israel” not to drink from the

stream but they disobeyed except a few. Once they crossed with those who believed they

refused to fight with Goliath as they lack the strength. Note the usage of “believers” who

refused to fight. However, who were conscious, not believers yet, jumped into fight and

David Killed Goliath. God, Yahweh, gave Saul the kingship and taught him as he willed.

2:249 When Saul took command of the troops, he said, "GOD is putting you to the test

by means of a stream. Anyone who drinks from it does not belong with me - only those

who do not taste it belong with me - unless it is just a single sip." They drank from it,

except a few of them. When he crossed it with those who believed, they said, "Now we

lack the strength to face Goliath and his troops." Those who were conscious of meeting

GOD said, "Many a small army defeated a large army by GOD's leave. GOD is with

those who steadfastly persevere."

2:250 When they faced Goliath and his troops, they prayed, "Our Lord, grant us

steadfastness, strengthen our foothold, and support us against the disbelieving people."

2:251 They defeated them by GOD's leave, and David killed Goliath. GOD gave him

kingship and wisdom, and taught him as He willed. If it were not for GOD's support of

some people against others, there would be chaos on earth. But GOD showers His grace

upon the people.

In the Bible, events of Saul, David, and Solomon are documented in great detail whereas

Quran touches them a little bit. Initially, it may seem that Quran and Bible contradicts of

the accounts but when examined carefully they truly don’t. Saul, David and Solomon are

the entities within each of us not truly righteous but a combination of both, righteous and

non-righteous. They start with righteousness but ends with non-righteous due to lack of

understanding and are sole cause of our misery. Don’t get me wrong, these entities are

conscious of meeting “EL” after death but ends up in a praising the wrong entity and are

subjected to reincarnation not resurrection.

Key things to note in Quran that Jinns (fire) and humans worked for David and Solomon

indicating a mix of righteous (EL) and wrong (Yahweh) in their behaviors. David married

Bathsheba in the Bible when he saw her naked while taking bath by sending his husband

to war to die. Solomon, son of David and Bathsheba, for example, wanted to force Queen

of Sheba to surrender by “the name of Allah” when she didn’t do anything wrong, wanted

to get her mansion by force and make her a submitter. He gave up with someone who

knows the scripture were able to get the mansion in a blink of an eye. Yes, Psalms was

given to David, and the prophecies but he opted to be a supportive of Yahweh thus ruined

himself. Yahweh is the main deity in the Psalms (2:11), not EL who havocs hell to his

followers. Also, David and Solomon think they are blessed more than many of “believing

servants” when believers are in the same rank of prophets and martyrs. We will look into

details of their family lineage and meaning of their names, Biblical time line and match

www.ScripturesAndI.com 14

with human believe timeline and derive what these kings are and their impact on each of

us.

Psalms 2:11: Psalms are rhymes of Yahweh

10.2.1 Biblical Time Lines and Human life time frame

There are a number of historical timelines of Samuel, Saul, David and Solomon but I was

not able to find a timeline agreed by all parties. Quran doesn’t mention any timeline of

these entities. I derived my understanding of Biblical timeline based on human age,

Quran, and references from Bible. As the hierarchy goes, Saul was the first king of the

undivided Israel at the age of 30, the same year Ram goes to forest, and was anointed by

Prophet Samuel at the age of 52. Samuel was the son of Hannah and Elkanah, and was

the final prophet to Children of Israel. Saul had a son called Jonathon and David married

Saul’s daughter Michal and become the second king after killing Goliath at the age of 17.

David marries Bathsheba at the end of his life at Jerusalem and fathers Solomon. David

dies at the age of 40.

To explain the timeline of these kings along with human years, I will use 63 years as the

cutoff from believe to disbelieve and to show how it relates to reincarnation and

resurrection. Human life is reincarnation till resurrection or Nirvana and appearance of

these entities are shown in two spans; 0-63 years, and 0-17 years. Believers experience

and see both after 40 - the resurrection of 0-17. I know it seems a bit complicated but

once you reflect and realize, it would be easy.

Samuel, Saul, David and Solomon family tree, Goliath and Palestine

10.2.2 Biblical Saul

Saul was blessed with body and knowledge and was anointed by Samuel by pouring oil

into his head to serve Yahweh the lord of Israel. It occurred in a place called Gilgal

(rolling) where Israel spent the first night after cross over. Saul was the son of Kish

(Bow) who is a Benjamite (son of my days) from the youngest son of Jacob. He had a

daughter, Michal (stream), who got married to David. His son Jonathon and son-in-law

David fought with him against Palestinians and David killed Goliath (uncover). In later

years, after David became king, Saul became insane and tried to kill David multiple

times. Saul killed all priests when he was 63 and committed suicide at the battle of

“Mount Gilboa” (water busting from the rock of mountain) against Philistines when he

fell upon his own sword. In the same battle his sons including Jonathon were killed as

well.

One of the event in Samuel is quite noteworthy, is the meeting of Saul with young

women who were out to draw water while he was looking for Samuel to locate donkey of

his father. This meeting with women to draw water aligns with story of Moses meeting

his wife and his father in Quran. We will come back to Moses and Saul later in the

section.

10.2.3 Biblical David

David, the son of Jesse or Yishai (Yahweh exists), married Saul’s daughter Michal and is

renowned for killing Palestinian Giant Goliath. He hit Goliath with a slingshot in the

middle of his forehead and killed him instantly. David cuts off Goliath’s head and used

his armor in his tent. Later in his life, he married Bathsheba, wife of Uriah (Yahweh is my

light), when he saw her bathing naked. He sent Uriah in the front line of battle to get

killed. After his death, David married Bathsheba and Bathsheba gave birth to Solomon.

David stayed in Saul’s palace for seven years after killing Goliath. He was on the run

from Saul for 8 years and then he became the king of Hebron (“the Hebrew place”). He

captures Jerusalem at the age of 37 where his son Solomon was born. He dies at the age

of 40.

10.2.4 Biblical and Quranic Solomon

Solomon the last king of united Israel also known as Jedidiah (Beloved by Jehova or

Yahweh). He lived for 63 years and reigned for 40 years. He is famous for his wisdom

and judgment. He along with his father ruled with justice also committed wrong in their

life time. It was a mix of good and evil. He is also credited for building first temple in

Jerusalem.

[38:26] O David, we have made you a ruler on earth. Therefore, you shall judge among

the people equitably, and do not follow your personal opinion, lest it diverts you from the

way of GOD. Surely, those who stray off the way of GOD incur severe retribution for

forgetting the Day of Reckoning.

[38:24] He said, "He is being unfair to you by asking to combine your sheep with his.

Most people who combine their properties treat each other unfairly, except those who

believe and work righteousness, and these are so few." Afterwards, David wondered if he

made the right judgment. He thought that we were testing him. He then implored his Lord

for forgiveness, bowed down, and repented.

[27:17] Mobilized in the service of Solomon were his obedient soldiers of jinns and

humans, as well as the birds; all at his disposal.

10.2.5 Human behavior alignment

Before we start the alignment, let’s understand Palestine and Goliath a bit detail.

Palestine is not a physical land or a state rather a psychological space where we all are

wanderers and constantly looking for our identities and home. Goliath on the other hand

is the truth to be unveiled to give us the home. We the humans all through our

unconscious life fight to win over it and thereby cause enormous suffering, health and

well being, before our physical death for the next cycle. This fight with Goliath of

Palestine’s is the fight between the falsehood, Purusha/Yahweh/Fire truth, and the truth,

Ishwar/EL/Allah. Falsehood or the false knowledge can never win and are subject to

reincarnation or recycling.

“Children of Israel” is our psychophysical characteristics always opt for money and

worldly life rather than health and knowledge thereby institutes “Yahweh” or “I am” as

Lord beside the creator. After the death of Moses at the age of 40, our health and

knowledge (Saul) takes the front seat. We tend to find the meaning of life and the creator

by reading, listening to individuals to establish our identity and destiny. In the process,

we subconsciously assume we have the truth, knower of all based on “believe system”

that kill the truth which is waiting to be unveiled (Goliath). If you note, David killed

Goliath with a slingshot in the forehead the precise place for “Shiva’s third eye”. Also,

David wears Goliath’s armor in his tent a symbolic representation of our dress up,

religious clothing, as a proof for our false-knowledge.

As we go along, our health shows sign of wears and tears showing the distaste of David

(false knowledge) by Saul (health). This false knowledge results in psychophysical

sufferings yet psychological craftiness of desires as life – which is symbolically

represented by “showering of Bathsheba”. Killing of Bathsheba’s husband is another

symbolic representation of “removal of light of Yahweh”. Hebron is the crossing to the

wrong side of life and capture of Jerusalem “psychological state of false peace” is the

complete destruction of physical being.

Above stages are the stories of unconscious souls and judgment is issued or EL has heard

(Samuel). A conscious soul, who sees the above, will initiate a resurrection which starts

with age “0” where Saul took the charge of the troops and the believers refused to fight

Goliath. They became the believers as Goliath revealed Jesus from a Palestinian virgin

mother Mary. Jesus talked from his crib and said “the creator gave me the scripture”.

Birth of Jesus is a psychophysical realization not a physical birth defying the natural law

and will be discussed in detail later on.
