Secular Humanists seek to explain the Bibles concepts as evolving from within the context of the Ancient Near East and its religious notions regarding the origins of the world, why man was created and what his purpose in life is. If asked to briefly summarize my understanding of the Hebrew God, Yahweh Elohim, it would be best encapsulated by the Latin Motto now found on the money of the United States of America E PLURIBUS UNUM From Many, One. That is to say I understand that the Hebrews took the many gods and goddesses of Mesopotamia, Syria, Canaan and Phoenicia, and ascribed their powers, feats, epithets and personas to their God. Whereas MANY GODS and GODDESSES were responsible for the Shuruppak Flood in the Hebrew transformation and recasting as Noahs Flood it is only ONE GOD who is responsible. I understand that many of the Hebrew notions about the relationship between God and Man are deliberate refutationsandchallenges of the beliefs held by the Mesopotamians, said refutations being in the form of a series of  1. Mesopotamian concepts.

THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW Volume I Chapters 1 to 10 REVISED EDITION. Translated with an Introduction and Interpretation. There exists in the world today, and has existed for thousands of years, a body of enlightened humans Cainites united in what might be termed, an Order of the Quest. This article in a nutshell It is argued that by employing a new twist an inversion the Hebrews had a God Yahweh Elohim coming to REST ON A SEVENTH DAY after CREATING A WORLD AND MANKIND instead of all the gods and goddesses RESTING ON A SEVENTH DAY after DESTROYING A WORLD AND MANKIND with a flood. The gods had created man to be their slave to provide them with daily food rations from their gardens of edin edin being the uncultivated plain of Sumer surrounding the cities and city gardens built by the gods for themselves to live in before mans creation for all of eternity man is to endure back breaking toil in these gardens growing the gods food thereby giving themselves the equivalent of an eternal Shabbat or Sabbath Rest from earthly toil. Mans toil will provide the gods with lifes necessities food, shelter and clothing The gods needed to eat earthly food or they would starve to death, in Mesopotamian myths the gods can die. The gods would never release man from the grievous toil in their gardens of edin and grant him immortality because they did not want to resume again their previous grievous toil in providing lifes necessities for themselves. The gods eternal Sabbath Rest from toil on the earth was made possible by man toiling in their place in the gardens of edin. The gods faced, however, a serious problem, by creating man to toil in their place in the gardens thereby giving themselves Rest from earthly toil they could not enjoy this Rest in peace and quiet for mans clamor or noise objecting to his grievous toil in edins gardens made it impossible for the gods to relax and sleep in peace and quiet. Their solution was to destroy man with a Flood and thereby obtain for themslves an eternal quiet, peaceful Rest. That day of peaceful quiet Rest and Sleep occurred on the 7th day of the Shuruppak Flood with mans annihilation. On the seventh day the gods at last enjoyed their Shabbat Rest from toil with peaceful sleep because of the silence on the earth achieved with mans demise. The Mesopotamian myths, then, agree with Genesis 1 all the gods REST after creating man, and 2 all the gods rest on a seventh day after mans creation but this seventh day of rest is after a flood instead of before a flood and 3 Yahweh sets aside a seventh day for man Israel to rest on and on a seventh day the gods caused man to rest his rest from toil is that which accompanies mans death by the seventh day of the Shuruppak Flood. These, for me, are the new twists the Hebrews have applied to the earlier Mesopotamian myths The Hebrews apparently objected to the Mesopotamian storyline and denied that Yahweh Elohim had created man to endure back breaking toil in his Garden of Eden to give God a break from self toil in growing his own food Yet Yahweh is fed food twice a day like a Mesopotamian god beginning with the Exodus at Mount Sinai and this feeding of God is to continue for all of eternity even after the Messiah comes as Ezekiel envisions a future Messiah at Jerusalem with the help of Levitical priests preparing Gods daily food via burnt offerings and sacrifices cf. Ez. 4. 4 7,1. 5 4. Via a series of brilliantly orchestrated inversions and reversals or new twists to old Mesopotamian motifs and concepts the nomadic Hebrew shepherds apparently recast the Mesopotamian city dwellers myths which had man being the ruthlessly exploited innocent victim of the gods, instead it is God who is the victim of a rebellious, unappreciative, evil hearted mankind. Why did they do this The city dwellers despised and feared the nomads characterizing them as uncouth and a threat to civilization as cut throats, thieves, bandits and raiders of cities out for plunder. In defense of their way of life the nomadic herdsmen apparently took the city dwellers myths and recast them via a series of inversions in such a way as to portray themselves Abraham and Abel being shepherds as blessed by God and the city dwellers Cain and his descendants as the accursed by God. The nomads had the correct understanding of mans origins and his relationship with his Creator, the smug city dwellers had it all wrong. Special Note The Samaritan Bible dates Noahs Flood to 2. B. C. which is a near match to the circa 2. B. C. Flood silt layer which brought and end to the Jamdet Nasr Period at Tell Fara ancient Shuruppak found by Schmidt in his 1. Like Noah, the Shuruppak Flood hero variously called Ziusudra, Atra Khasis, Atrahasis, Atram hasis or Utnapishtim, Utanapishtim releases in sequence three birds to test the abatement of the Flood waters before disembarking and presenting a thank offering sacrifice to the gods for being spared.

I would be happy if the same could be said. And yet the primary aim of the series has. It could be summed up in the famous words of Richard of. Chichesters prayer to enable men and women to know Jesus Christ more clearly. It is all of twenty years since the first volume of The Daily Study Bible was. The series was the brain child of the late Rev. Andrew Mc. Cosh, M. A. S. T. M., the then Secretary and Manager of the Committee on Publications of the. Church of Scotland, and of the late Rev. R. G. Macdonald, O. B. E., M. A., D. D. Convener. It is a great joy to me to know that all through the years The Daily Study. Bible has been used at home and abroad, by minister, by missionary, by student. Now, after so many printings, it has become necessary to renew the printers. At. the same time, the Biblical quotations within the text have been changed to use. Revised Standard Version, but my own original translation of the New. Testament passages has been retained at the beginning of each daily section. There is one debt which I would be sadly lacking in courtesy if I did not. The work of revision and correction has been done entirely by the. Rev. James Martin, M. A., B. D., Minister of High Carntyne Church, Glasgow. Had it. not been for him this task would never have been undertaken, and it is. It is my prayer that God may continue to use The Daily Study Bible to enable. His word. Glasgow WILLIAM BARCLAYTABLE OF CONTENTSGeneral Introduction. Introduction to Matthew.
