I wish I knew, seriously, and I am sure a lot of people would like to know what happened long ago.
I have been interested in finding out what happened long ago and I think a way to understand things is to know, as much as possible, about what we can
learn from History.
Before we can understand what happened in pre-history, it helps to know history.
The Bible was not written when the events actualy happened before the language evolved to the point that there was a good form of writing
available.
I would not be writing more that brief entries into a notebook if it was not for the internet.
I believe there is a history of everything, made by the "watchers" and others, working for God.
Some prophets could have been given glempses of history, before it happened.
I think most of the bible was written acording to what the author personaly knew, himself or got second hand, or read someplace else.
Real insight into the knowledge that potentialy available, has only been given to a small few.
These were people who had to go through great distress and knowledge of their own weakness in the proccess.
Daniel, David, Jesus, and John are some examples and they all would end up at some point lying face down on the ground and needing assistance by
angels.
We are unworthy to know our own history and even more so to know our futures.
I believe that I have been given insights into some things at various times of my life.
These would be a brief clearity of thought on subjects that I had been struggling for some time to understand.
But, these were on general topics of theology, and not anything that had to do with time travel or anything.
Human nature is wicked and predatory and selfish and becomes outright corrupt, if not held in check.
Just look at our own country.
The founding fathers had an opportunity to creat a government that was not evil.
What they did was create a lot of mechanisms for self restraint.
Despite all that, forces of evil, outside the government, have colluded to infiltrate the government to put in their own puppets, to create something
similar to the old Roman Empire.
The same thing happened to religion.
Just look at the Book of Genisis, and the story of how men tried to deal with the problem of their sin against God.
Adam built an alter and then his sons built their own alters.
Ok, so, at some point you wind up with a collectivisation, from individual obligations, to group temples run by profesional priests.
It could have been done out of neccessity, because of the gathering of people into cities.
Once you surrender your direct involvement with the core action of your religious practice, and give it to a group of men who have a vested interest
in keeping a good thing going for themselves, then that religion is in danger of quickly becoming something unrecognizable from the original.
