db88a: where this comes together ~~~


Where
this comes
together is in
chapters 70/71
of the Similitudes,
which must be seen as
an independent strand of very
ancient tradition, in which the two originally
separate ideas of 'g d' becoming man & a man 'becoming g d' are fused!

IN THE FIRST PART OF THE WORK,
THE SON OF MAN IS EXPLICITLY DESCRIBED AS PREEXISTANT TO CREATION,
WHILE ENOCH IS "THE SEVENTH BORN HUMAN
AFTER ADAM"?!

THIS ENOCH,
AS SEVENTH OF THE PATRIARCHS FROM ADAM,
BEARS STRONG CONNECTIONS WITH THE SEVENTH OF THE ANTEDILUVIAN BABYLONIAN KINKY KINGS, ENMEDURANKI,
WHO WAS OF HUMAN DESCENT BUT WAS
TAKEN UP INTO HEAVEN!

AMONG THE FEATURES
THAT ENOCH SHARES WITH HIS BABYLONIAN ANCESTOR
IS BEING SEATED ON A THRONE IN HEAVEN IN THE PRESENCE OF THE GODS
AND TAUGHT WISDOM
THERE!?

THIS MAKES CLEAR
WHY AN IDENTIFICATION
COULD BE MADE: AS IN THE BOOK OF DANIEL ITSELF,
DIFFERENT TEXTS HAVE BEEN QUILTED TOGETHER
TO MAKE A SINGLE THEOLOGICAL
STATEMENT.

Wil je zien
wat ergens 'tussenin' zit,
dan verdient het aanbeveling om te beginnen bij 't begin!
En 'n al of niet 'definitief' einde
hangt nu eenmaal meestal af
van wat eraan
voorafging?
