I would appreciate references to specific chapters/sections of the works in question so that I can (hopefully) read them online.
My research covers a lot of ground and reincarnation is but a small part of it. If I were to sum it all up, this is all basically just a hobby of mine to link Science and Biology with Scripture. It's just something I find fascinating and so I like to share what I find with others with the hopes that it will help us all discover Truth one day.
The Tabernacle vs. Cell Biology graphics are a typical example of what I've uncovered over the years.
I'm not sure what kind of schools of thought I can relate any of this to. Maybe Apologetics?
All I do is read the Bible until I see something that relates to Science, Technology and Biology and I document it for others to look into. They are often highly theoretical, so a lot of it is new and not found on the web or in books etc.
As an Engineer, I can see that the Bible is written much like a set of Blueprints and Bills of Materials. One of my skills is 'Reverse Engineering', which is what I spend most of my time doing with the ancient texts.
I've uncovered a LOT of highly advanced information that has been 'encoded' into Scripture. This information has no business being in a book that old, other than to prove that there is an intelligence far superior to ours and to give us a basic outline of how the bodies of the Saved will be constructed.
It even gets down to the Quantum Particle scale. The High Priest's Breastplate represents the Twelve Particles of Matter in the Standard Model...
The Holy Trinity or Godhead was always meant to Illuminate Mankind by teaching us about the generic construct of the Atom, but the world remains in ignorance...
BTW... this is what Ezekiel was given a vision of. Atomic Construct and how it operates...
The Four Living Creatures are the Four Forces of Nature.
What's really astonishing is that there is even Genetic Code embedded within the Bible's pages. In fact, my User Name reflects this fact. This Genetic Code is comprised of twelve unique Nucleobases. We Humans only have four... Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine. Five if we count Uracil. My suspicion is that the Bible is showing us what the Glorified Body 'upgrade' will look like so we can make an educated decision as to whether we want that or not for our next incarnation.
It's funny...
A previous poster was wondering why bother discussing all of this. Well, if anyone wants to take a 'sneak peak' at what this Angelic DNA consists of, the Bible is the place to look!
I'm still treading lightly here as I'm so used to folks freaking out over the topics I bring up in other forums. Cognitive Dissonance is a real thing and something I encounter constantly.
Perhaps I should just tell everyone how I came to believe that reincarnation is Biblical.
I Reversed Engineered it.
After spending months linking the Tabernacle in the Wilderness with Eukaryotic Cell Biology, I began to notice the 'blueprints' I mentioned earlier.
For example: The Ark of the Covenant is the Nucleolus of the Cell. The Cherubim are DNA. Many Pastors teach that Lucifer was one or both of those Cherubim...
Ezekiel 28:14
"Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire"
Lucifer is another name for Phosphorus, which forms the Serpent Strands of our DNA. The Stones of Fire are another reference to Phosphorus. Lucifer was decorated with Precious Stones...
Ezekiel 28:13
"Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created"
I learned that the Precious Stones were Nucleobases. As we can see in the above verse, Lucifer had several more Nucleobases than our four, making him much more advanced genetically.
When I tried to teach people about how the Bible was predicting that Mankind would someday create new letters to the Genetic Code, they of course laughed and mocked me.
Years later, Scientists began to create life forms with more than four Nucleobases...
I started getting emails from people thinking I was Elijah... haha!
Anyhow, it was this next verse that I finally realized what I was looking at...
Isaiah 14:15
"Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit"
Isaiah 14:15 (Young's Literal Translation)
"Only -- unto Sheol thou art brought down, Unto the sides of the pit"
I already knew that the Pit meant the Womb, but why was Lucifer, a picture of DNA, being put there?
REINCARNATION!
Lucifer/DNA/Seed going to the Pit was a picture of Conception.
The Bible was describing how Lucifer was going to be reincarnated again. A Fundamental Christian such as myself would call this reincarnated being The AntiChrist.
I later concluded that
this same mechanism applied for all of Human Life. The 'Sides of the Pit' are the ovaries. This is where the Seed/DNA went.
When I began researching the above subject matter, I ran into Alchemy. I now know that many Alchemical paintings and artwork reflect this Biblical reincarnation mechanism, but with a twist...
They more or less depict attempts at coming back from the dead with a form of Glorified Body by the work of their own hands. In other words, Man saving Man without a Savior. I'm sure you are familiar with this concept. It's called "The Great Work". Apparently they will be successful one day... soon.
Not only did the Ancient Alchemists see the same Genetic Blueprints that I'm seeing, they were actually able to illustrate some of it long before DNA was even discovered!!!
One of the most blatant examples of this can be seen in the following image called "Hermetic Triumph", which comes straight out the Bible...
https://archive.org/details/b30774627/page/n2?q=Hermetic+Triumph
Be sure and use the Zoom tool to see the finer details.
Here is a smaller version...
Note that every symbol in the above image can be traced to a verse in the Bible.
For example:
Serpents = Lucifer
Hills = Sides of the Pit
Paths = Crooked Paths
Sun/Moon = Father/Mother
Triangle = Sulphur i.e. Brimstone
Constellations = Mazzaroth
Arch = Vault of Heaven
Crowns = Kings/Royalty/Power etc.
and of course...
The Lake and Fire Portal/Tunnel = Lake of Fire
These symbols then match Human Anatomy. Specifically, the Womb.
In other words, the Hermetic Triumph depicts a Womb at the Moment of Conception...
Serpents = RNA/DNA (Seed)
Hills/Sides of the Pit = Ovaries
Crooked Paths = Fallopian Tubes
Sun/Moon = Father/Mother
Constellations/Mazzaroth = Birth Month (Set to Taurus/Hathor)
Lake = Amniotic Sac
Fire Tunnel = Mouth of the Womb
Notice the connections to this verse...
Proverbs 30:16 (Douay-Rheims Bible)
"Hell, and the mouth of the womb, and the earth which is not satisfied with water: and the fire never saith: It is enough"
So imagine my shock when I came across that artwork after all of the previous research I already had under my belt. It pretty much confirmed everything I suspected.
Now how did that information get encoded into a book thousands of years old?
And how do I explain all of this to a Christian without being stoned to death?
Now THAT would be a "Great Work"... LOL!
