Berosus, 3 BC
Chaldean
astrologer. According to the ancient Greeks, Berosus was considered to be one
the greatest magicians of his time, and was also held in high esteem for the
accuracy of his astrological predictions. The Greeks honored Berosus by
erecting a statue of him with its tongue sculpted from gold, signifying the
truth of his forecasts.He was a reputable historian, collecting and translating
a three-volume account of Babylonian history into Greek. These volumes also
chronicle the story of Gilgamesh (the Chaldean version of Noah's flood.)
§
"All
terrestrial life and limb shall be consumed by fire during a planetary
alignment in [July of CE 2001]. The fire will be followed by a great flood in
October when the same planets are conjoined in Capricorn.”
§
"When the
Terror descends (and none denies its descending) abasing, exalting, when the
earth shall be rocked and the mountains crumbled and become a dust scattered
and you shall be three bands...
§
"The
ancients, and the later folk shall be gathered to the appointed time of a known
day. Then you erring ones, you that cried lies, you shall eat of a tree called
Zakkoum, and you shall fill therewith your bellies and drink on top of that
boiling water, lapping it down like thirsty camels. This shall be their
hospitality on the Day of Doom. (LVI, 1-55.)
§
"So, when
the Trumpet is blown with a single blast and the earth and the mountains are
lifted up and crushed with a single blow, then, on that day, the Terror shall
come to pass, and heaven shall be split, for upon that day it shall be very
frail, and the angels shall stand upon its borders, and upon that day eight
shall carry above them the Throne of thy Lord.
§
"On that
day you shall be exposed, not one secret of yours concealed. Then as for him
who is given his book in his right hand, he shall say, 'Here, take and read my
book! Certainly I thought that I should encounter thy reckoning.' So he shall
be in a pleasing life in a lofty Garden, its clusters nigh to gather.
§
'Eat and drink
with wholesome appetite for that you did long ago, in the days gone by.'
§ "But as for him who is given his book in his left hand, he shall say, 'Would that I had not been given my book and not known my reckoning! Would it had been the end! My wealth has not availed me, my authority is gone from me.' Take him, and fetter him, and then roast him in Hell, then in a chain of seventy cubits' length insert him! Behold, he never believed in God the All-mighty, and he never urged the feeding of the needy; therefore he today has not here one loyal friend, neither any food saving foul pus, that none excepting the sinners eat." (LXIX, 41-39) 1
