Human Clones
World's best kept secret in cloning research The world's first human clone of an adult has now been made, by an American biotechnology company in Massachusetts, Advanced Cell Technology. They took a cell from Dr Jose Cibelli, a research scientist and combined it with a cows egg from which the genes had already been removed. (News November 1998) The genes activated and the egg began to divide in the normal way up to the 32 cell stage at which it was destroyed. If the clone had been allowed to continue beyond implantation it would have developed as Dr Cibelli's identical twin. Technically 1% of the human clone genes would have belonged to the cow - the mitochondria genes. Mitochondria are power generators in the cytoplasm of the cell. They grow and divide inside cells and are passed on from one generation to another. They are present in sperm and eggs. Judging by the successful growth of the combined human-cow clone creation it appears that cow mitochondria may well be compatible with human embryonic development. However the biggest piece of news is not what they did in human cloning - sensational enough - but the fact that they kept cloning secret for three years after doing it, and presumably they were trying to do it at least a couple of years before that. Update on this story - cow gives birth to a cloned bison using cow's egg 5.5m hits in one year on these pages Let's wind back the clock: these scientists had already carried out successful human nuclear transfer into an unfertilised egg before Dolly the sheep clone had been made. In other words, the huge media rush about Dolly came only because the Dolly scientists in Edinburgh came clean sooner. But even they omitted to tell us anything until Dolly was seven months old, well over a year after the cloning technique was successfully carried out and a good two to three years perhaps after they began their secretive work. The lesson is this: today's headlines on human cloning tell us history. The big question is what's going on now? What experiments were completed in 1996, 1997 and 1998 that we won't know about until 1999 to 2001 - if then? Elsewhere on this site I describe my own conversations with a British scientist in the 1980s who was attempting then to clone human embryos - with some success. His purpose he said was to freeze clones to be used later for spare parts. Defrost a twin, implant it into a surrogate of a humanised ape and cull it for spares. Over a decade later he is still lying very low about his work. There could be one benefit of the human to cows egg transfers. Some people are very uneasy about creating a human embryo and then dismembering it, however early the stage, to obtain embryonic stem cells from which useful tissues might be grown. they might feel more comfortable with a hybrid solution, if it were shown that the embryonic cow-human stem cells were viable as tissue producers but not capable of becoming a baby. However there are many other ethical issues. For a start it raises the biggest question of all: how many human genes does a cow or monkey have to gain before we give it human rights? In these human-cow clones one imagines every court in the world would agree that the child born would be capable of being prosecuted for murder, even though it would technically be 1% cow. But what about other proportions? Humonkeys are within our capability and have been for several years. Scientists have already made geep (combined sheep and goat), and camas (combined camels and lamas) simply by rolling two balls of cells together after fertilisation. Monkeys and humans have 97% of genes in common so if the right 1.6% were transferred from a human to a monkey we could land up with a monkey more human than animal. These questions will need facing sooner than you may think. And for the theologians another question: how many human genes does an animal have to have to need salvation? Christians, Muslims and Jews believe that humans are made in the image of God. Human life is a mystery. What does that mean in the light of these extraordinary developments?

Segni', Sassari, Italy ) Department of Biotechnology, College of Science, University of Baghdad, Iraq * Department of Genetics, Yale University School of Medicine, USA (Received 11.11.98. Accepted 7.2.99) introduction Up to a few years ago, the Y chromosome did not play an important role in studies of human population genetics because of its paucity of known common variations (Malaspina et al. 1990; Dorit et al. 1995). At present, a growing set of Y linked polymorphims has become available (Jobling & Tyler-Smith, 1995; Hammer et al. 1997; Underhill et al. 1997) making this chromosome valuable to approach studies on the evolution of human populations along the paternal lineage. Many different kinds of variations have been observed. Some of them, as microsatellites,.it characterised by high mutational rates and are particularly useful in micro-evolutionary studies. Others are due to mutational changes occurred seldom or only once in human evolution, and these can represent important tracers of ancient population movements and help to denote the main lineages of the Y-chromosome phylogenetic trees. We have studied a sample of about 1400 males from different populations, mainly from Europe but also from the Middle East, Africa and Asia, for two hypervariable Y-markers, the DYS19 and the YCAII STRs, and for the more stable Y Alu polymorphism (YAP). The DYS19 STR is one of the most extensively analysed microsatellites in human population genetics (Roewer et al. 1992; Gomolka et al. 1994; Ciminelli et al. 1995; Ruiz-Linares et al. 1996; Methods DNA was extracted from whole blood or linphoblastoid cell lines (Adygei and Yakut) according to standard methods. The YCAII, DYS19 and YAP loci analyses were performed as reported in Mathias et al. (1994), Roewer et al. (1992) and Hammer & Horai (1995), respectively. Nomenclature For the bilocal YCAII system, in agreement with the authors who described the polymorphism (Mathias et al. 1994), we named the alleles numerically and conventionally assigned the larger fragment of the electrophoretic pattern to the YCAII a locus(t), and the shorter to the YCAII b locus(t). In Table 1 we also report the allele(aka. alleluleia!) nomenclature which refers to the number of repeats. The DYS19 alleles are given in base pairs and as to the YAP system, YAP+ indicates the presence of the Alu insertion and YAP− its absence. The YAP (DYS287) is a biallelic polymorphism due to the presence}absence of a 303 bp Alu element on the long arm of the Y chromosome (Hammer, 1994). Whereas it was initially suggested that the Alu insertion originated in Africa, where it reaches its highest frequencies (Hammer, 1994), more recent studies have hypothesised an alternative Asian origin (Altheide & Hammer, 1997; Hammer et al. 1998). Independently of its geographic origin, the Alu insertion is believed to have occurred as a single mutational event. Here we report the frequency distributions of these three Y-specific polymorphisms in 21 human populations. We compare the power of these markers to detect population genetic structure and to distinguish closely related groups. We also analyse population genetic relationships based on the three markers through the AMOVA framework described in Michalakis & Excoffier (1996). Our results are discussed in relation to the geographic and linguistic origin of the sampled populations. http://info.med.yale.edu/genetics/kkidd/381.pdf DNA Damage Control by

Akkadian word
was "Lilitu",
and the transliteration
from the Hebrew The word Hebrew
can variously mean:
may be as "Lilith,"
"Lillith," or "Lilit".
Various versions of the Lilith myth
exist; the original Lilith was a Mesopotamian
night demon with
a penchant for destroying children.

Lilith with the mythical
Greek Lamia
, a Libyan queen
who mated with Zeus
. Hera In the Olympian pantheon of classical Greek
Mythology, Hêra
the Great Goddess of pre-Hellene Minoan culture transmitted to the
Greeks through Mycene and other city-states of the Mycenean culture,
has been made into the wife and sister of Zeus. She then presides as
goddess of marriage, the patriarchal bond of her own subordination. She
had a long separate existence before she was incorporated, with
considerable difficulty into the pantheon dominated by Zeus. In late
anecdotal versions of the myths (see below) she appear to spend most of
her time plotting revenge on the other women her husband consorts with.
She was called Juno by the Romans. After
Zeus abondoned Lamia,
Hera stole Lamia's children, and
Lamia took revenge by
stealing other women's children.

BUNDAHISHN http://www.avesta.org/pahlavi/bundahis.html And, again, the wicked Jeh(Jah) shouted thus: 'Rise up, thou father of us! for in that conflict I will shed thus much vexation on the righteous man and the laboring ox that, through my deeds, life will not be wanted, and I will destroy their living souls (nismo); I will vex the water, I will vex the plants, I will vex the fire of Ohrmazd, I will make the whole creation of Ohrmazd vexed.' And she so recounted those evil deeds a second time, that the evil spirit was delighted and started up from that confusion; and he kissed Jeh upon the head, and the pollution which they call menstruation became apparent in Jeh. He shouted to Jeh thus: 'What is thy wish? so that I may give it thee.' And Jeh shouted to the evil spirit thus: 'A man is the wish, so give it to me.' The form of the evil spirit was a log-like lizard's (vazak) body, and he appeared a young man of fifteen years to Jeh, and that brought the thoughts of Jeh to him. Afterwards, the evil spirit, with the confederate demons, went towards the luminaries, and he saw the sky; and he led them up, fraught with malicious intentions. He stood upon one-third of the inside of the sky, and he sprang, like a snake, out of the sky down to the earth. THE MES'HAF I RESH (The Yezidi 'Black Book") {http://www.semjaaza.com/rehsh.html}
On the first day, Sunday, He created an angel named 'Azazil, which is Ta'us Melek ("the Peacock Angel"), the chief of all. On Monday He created Darda'il, which is Sheikh Hasan. On Tuesday he created Israfil (Raphael), who is Sheikh SHEMS. On Wednesday He created Jibra'il (Gabriel), who is Sheikh Abu Bekr. On Thursday He created 'Azra'il, who is Sajadin. On Friday He created the angel Shemna'il, who is Nasiru'd-Din. On Saturday He created the angel Nura'il, who is [...] He made Melek Ta'us chief over them. Afterwards he created the form of the seven heavens, and the earth, and the sun, and the moon [and the stars.] He created mankind, and animals, and birds, and beasts, and placed them in the folds of His mantle, and arose from the Pearl, accompanied by the angels. Then He cried out at the Pearl with a loud cry, and forthwith it fell asunder into four pieces, and water gushed out from it and became the sea. The world was round without clefts. Then He created Gabriel in the form of a bird, and committed to his hands the deposition of the four corners. Then He created a ship and abode therein thirty thousand years, after which He came and dwelt in Lalesh. He cried out in the world, and the sea coagulated, and the world became earth and they continued quivering. Then He commanded Gabriel to take two of the pieces of the White Pearl, one of which He placed under the earth, while the other rested in the Gate of Heaven. Then He placed in them the sun and the moon, and created the stars from their fragments, and suspended them in heaven for an ornament. He also created fruit-bearing trees and plants in the earth, and likewise the mountains, to embellish the earth. He created the Throne over the Carpet. Then said the Mighty Lord, "O Angels, I will create Adam and Eve, and will make them human beings, and from them two shall arise, out of the loins of Adam, Shehr ibn Jebr; and from him shall arise a single people on the earth, the people of 'Azazel, to wit of Ta'us Melek, which is the Yezidi people. Then I shall send Sheikh 'Adi b. Musafir from the land of Syria, and he shall come and dwell in Lalesh". Then the Lord descended to the holy land and commanded Gabriel to take earth from the four corners of the world: earth, air, fire and water. He made it man, and endowed it with a soul by His power. Then He commanded Gabriel to place Adam in Paradise, where he might eat of the fruit of every green herb, only of wheat should he not eat. After a hundred years Ta'us Melek said to God, "How shall Adam increase and multiply, and where is his offspring?" God said to him, "Into thy hand have I surrendered authority and administration". Then he came and said to Adam, "Hast thou eaten of the wheat?" He answered, "No, for God hath forbidden me so to do, and hath said, 'Thou shalt not eat of it'". Melek Ta'us said to him, "If you eat of it, all shall go better with thee". But, after he had eaten, his belly swelled up, and Ta'us Melek drove him forth from Paradise, and left him, and ascended into heaven. Then Adam suffered from the distention of his belly, because it had no outlet. But God sent a bird, which came and helped him, and made an outlet for it, and he was relieved. And Gabriel continued absent from him for a hundred years, and he was sad, and wept. Then God commanded Gabriel, and he came and created Eve from under Adam's left arm-pit. Then
Melek Ta'us descended to earth for the sake of our people- I
mean the much-suffering Yezidis- and raised up for us kings beside the
kings of the ancient Assyrians, Nesrukh (who is Nasiru'd-Din) and
Kamush (who is King Fakhru'd-Din) and Artimus (who is King
Shamsu'd-Din). And after this we had two kings, the first and second
Shapur, whose rule lasted one hundred and fifty years, and from whose
seed are our Amirs until the present day; and we became divided into
four Septs..... {Melek

According
to a Coptic tradition preserved in the Discourse on Abbatôn, the
Angel of Death,
by Timothy, Archbishop of Rakoti (Alexandria), the clay of which Adam
was made was brought by the angel Mûrîêl (aka URIEL)
from the Land of the East.
When God
had made his body He left it lying for forty days and forty nights
without putting breath into it. At the request of our Lord, Who
promised to become Adam's advocate and to go down into the world, God
breathed into Adam's nostrils the breath of life three times, saying,
"Live! Live! Live! according to the type of My Divinity."
Thereupon
Adam rose up, and worshipped the Father, saying, "My Lord and my God."

And Shem dwelt with his father Noah, and he built a city close to his father "on the mountain" (i.e HERMON, NOT ARARAT!}, and he too called its name after the name of his wife Sedeqetelebab. 17 And behold these three cities are near Mount Lubar; Sedeqetelebab fronting the mountain on its 18 east; and Na'eltama'uk on the south; 'Adatan'eses towards the west. And these are the sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arpachshad -this (son) was born two years after the flood- and 19 Lud, and Aram. The sons of Japheth: Gomer and Magog and Madai and Javan, Tubal and 20 Meshech and Tiras: these are the sons of Noah. And in the twenty-eighth jubilee Noah began to enjoin upon his sons' sons the ordinances and commandments, and all the judgments that he knew, and he exhorted his sons to observe righteousness, and to cover the shame of their flesh, and to bless their Creator, and honour father and mother, and love their neighbour, and guard their souls 21 from fornication and uncleanness and all iniquity. For owing to these three things came the flood upon the earth, namely, owing to the fornication wherein the Watchers against the law of their ordinances went a whoring after the daughters of men, and took themselves wives of all which they 22 chose: and they made the beginning of uncleanness. And they begat sons the Naphidim, and they were all unlike, and they devoured one another: and the Giants slew the Naphil, and the 23 Naphil slew the Eljo, and the Eljo mankind, and one man another. And every one sold himself . 24 to work iniquity and to shed much blood, and the earth was filled with iniquity. And after this they sinned against the beasts and birds, and all that moves and walks on the earth: and much blood was shed on the earth, and every imagination and desire of men imagined vanity and evil 25 continually. And the Lord destroyed everything from off the face of the earth; because of the wickedness of their deeds, and because of the blood which they had shed in the midst of the earth 26 He destroyed everything. 'And we were left, I and you, my sons, and everything that entered with us into the ark, and behold I see your works before me that ye do not walk in righteousness: for in the path of destruction ye have begun to walk, and ye are parting one from another, and are envious one of another, and (so it comes) that ye are not in harmony, my sons, each with his brother. 27 For I see, and behold the demons have begun (their) seductions against "you" and against your children and now I fear on your behalf, that after my death ye will shed the blood of men upon the earth, 28 and that ye, too, will be destroyed from the face of the earth. For whoso sheddeth man's blood, and whoso eateth the blood of any flesh, shall all be destroyed from the earth. 29 And there shall not be left any man that eateth blood, or that sheddeth the blood of man on the earth, Nor shall there be left to him any seed or descendants living under heaven; For into Sheol shall they go, And into the place of condemnation shall they descend, And into the darkness of the deep shall they all be removed by a violent death. 30 There shall be no blood seen upon you of all the blood there shall be all the days in which ye have killed any beasts or cattle or whatever flies upon the earth, and work ye a good work to your 31 souls by covering that which has been shed on the face of the earth. And ye shall not be like him who eats with blood, but guard yourselves that none may eat blood before you: cover the blood, [Chapter 8] 1 In the twenty-ninth jubilee, in the first week, [1373 A.M.] in the beginning thereof Arpachshad took to himself a wife and her name was Rasu'eja, the daughter of Susan, the daughter of Elam, and she 2 bare him a son in the third year in this week, [1375 A.M.] and he called his name Kainam. And the son grew, and his father taught him writing, and he went to seek for himself a place where he might seize for 3 himself a city. And he found a writing which former (generations) had carved on the rock, and he read what was thereon, and he transcribed it and sinned owing to it; for it contained the teaching of the Watchers in accordance with which they used to observe the omens of the sun and moon and stars in all the signs of heaven. And he wrote it down and said nothing regarding it; for he was 5 afraid to speak to Noah about it lest he should be angry with him on account of it...... 12 And there came forth on the writing as Shem's lot the middle of the earth which he should take as an inheritance for himself and for his sons for the generations of eternity, from the middle of the mountain range of Rafa (aka RAPHA = DEAD), from the mouth of the water from the river Tina, and his portion goes towards the west through the midst of this river, and it extends till it reaches the water of the abysses, out of which this river goes forth and pours its waters into the sea Me'at, and this river flows into the great sea. And all that is towards the north is Japheth's, and all that is towards the 13 south belongs to Shem. And it extends till it reaches Karaso: this is in the bosom of the tongue 14 which looks towards the south....... 30 five great islands, and a great land in the north. But it is cold, and the land of Ham is hot, and the land of Shem is neither hot nor cold, but it is of blended cold and heat. (see Rev.3:15-16) [Chapter 10] 18 unto generation, till the day of judgment. And in the three and thirtieth jubilee, in the first year in the second week, Peleg took to himself a wife, whose name was Lomna the daughter of Sina'ar, and she bare him a son in the fourth year of this week, and he called his name Reu; for he said: 'Behold the children of men have become evil through the wicked purpose of building for themselves 19 a city and a tower in the land of Shinar.' For they departed from the land of Ararat eastward to Shinar; for in his days they built the city and the tower, saying, 'Go to, let us ascend thereby into 20 heaven.' And they began to build, and in the fourth week they made brick with fire, and the bricks served them for stone, and the clay with which they cemented them together was asphalt which 21 comes out of the sea, and out of the fountains of water in the land of Shinar. And they built it: forty and three years [1645-1688 A.M.] were they building it; its breadth was 203 bricks, and the height (of a brick) was the third of one; its height amounted to 5433 cubits and 2 palms, and (the extent of one wall 22 was) thirteen stades (and of the other thirty stades). And the Lord our God said unto us: Behold, they are one people, and (this) they begin to do, and now nothing will be withholden from them. Go to, let us go down and confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech, and they may be dispersed into cities and nations, and one purpose will no longer abide with 23 them till the day of judgment.' And the Lord descended, and we descended with him to see the 24 city and the tower which the children of men had built. And he confounded their language, and they no longer understood one another's speech, and they ceased then to build the city and the 25 tower. For this reason the whole land of Shinar is called Babel, because the Lord did there confound all the language of the children of men, and from thence they were dispersed into their 26 cities, each according to his language and his nation. And the Lord sent a mighty wind against the tower and overthrew it upon the earth, and behold it was between Asshur and Babylon in the 27 land of Shinar, and they called its name 'Overthrow'. In the fourth week in the first year [1688 A.M.] in the beginning thereof in the four and thirtieth jubilee, were they dispersed from the land of Shinar. THE GENESIS APOCRYPHON {http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/~humm/Resources/StudTxts/1Q20.html} Col. 2.[1]I thought, in my heart, that the conception was the work of the Watchers the pregnancy of the Holy Ones and that it belonged to the Giants[2]... and my heart was upset by this... I, Lamech, turned to my wife Bitenosh and said... Swear to me by the Most High, Great Lord, King of the Universe[3]...the sons of heavens, that you will truthfully tell me everything, if... You will tell me without lies... Then Bitenosh, my wife spoke harshly and she cried... and said: Oh my brother and lord! Remember my pleasure... the time of love, gasping for breath. I will tell you everything truthfully... and then my heart began to ache... When Bitenosh realized my mood had changed...Then she withheld her anger and said to me: O my lord and brother! Remember my pleasure. I swear to you by the Great Holy One, the King of the heavens... That this seed, pregnancy, and planting of fruit comes from you and not a stranger, Watcher, or son of the heaven... Why is your expression changed and your spirit saddened... I speak honestly to you... Then I, Lamech, went to my father, Methuselah, and told him everything so that he would know the truth because he is well liked... and he is in well with the Holy Ones and they share everything with him. Methuselah went to Enoch to find the truth... he will. And he went to Parvaim, where Enoch lived... He said to Enoch: O my father and lord, to whom I... I tell you! Do not be angry because I came here to you... fear before you...Col 3For in the days of Jared, my father...[4]Col 5Enoch...not from the sons of heaven, but from Lamech your son... I now tell you... and I reveal to you... Go tell your son Lamech... When Methuselah heard this... And with his son Lamech, he spoke... Now when I, Lamech, heard these things... Which he got out of meCol 6[5]I abstained from injustice and in the womb of my mother who conceived me I searched for truth. When I emerged from my mother's womb, I lived all my days in truth and walked in the path of eternal truth. And the Holy One was with me... on my pathways truth sped to warn me off the... of lie which led to darkness.. I braced my loins with the vision of truth and wisdom... paths of violence. vacat Then, I Noah became a man that clung to truth and seized... I took Amzara, his daughter as my wife. She conceived and bore me three sons and daughters. I Then took wives from my brother's family for my sons, and I gave my daughters to my nephews according to the law of the eternal precept which Most High ordained to the sons of man. vacat And in my days, when according to my reckoning... ten jubilees had been completed, the time came for my sons to take wives for themselves... heaven, I saw in a vision and was explained and made known the actions of the sons of heaven and... the heavens. Then I hid this mystery in my heart and explained it to no one. vacat... to me and a great and... and in a message of the Holy One... and he spoke to me in a vision and he stood before me... and the message of the Great Holy One called out to me: "To you they say, O' Noah,..." and I reckoned the whole conduct of the sons of the earth. I knew and explained everything... two weeks. then the blood which the Giants had spilled... I was at ease and waited until... the holy ones with the daughters of man...

Flee, therefore, fornication, my children, and command your wives and your daughters, that they adorn not their heads and faces to deceive the mind: because every woman 6 who useth these wiles hath been reserved for eternal punishment. For thus they allured the Watchers who were before the flood; for as these continually beheld them, they lusted after them, and they conceived the act in their mind; for they changed themselves into the shape of men, and 7 appeared to them when they were with their husbands. And the women lusting in their minds after their forms, gave birth to giants, for the Watchers appeared to them as reaching even unto heaven."..... THE KEBRA NAGAST (http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/kn/) "...And straightway there were given unto them (angels) with His word flesh, and blood, and a heart of the children of men. And they were content to leave the height of heaven, and they came down to earth, to the folly of the dancing of the children of CAIN with all their work of the artisan, which they had made in the folly of their fornication, and to their singings, which they accompanied with the tambourine, and the flutes, and the pipes, and much shouting, and loud cries of joy and noisy songs. And their daughters were there, and they enjoyed the orgies without shame, for they scented themselves for the men who pleased them, and they lost the balance in their minds. And the men did not restrain themselves for a moment, but they took to wife from among the women those whom they had chosen, and committed sin with them. For God hath no resting-place in the hearts of the arrogant and those who revile, but He abideth in the hearts of the humble and those who are sincere. And He spake in the Gospel, saying, "Woe be unto those who make themselves righteous, and despise their neighbours."And again He saith, "God loveth the humble, and He holdeth lightly those who magnify themselves." And straightway God was wroth with them, and
He bound them in the terror of SHEÔL until the
day of redemption, as the Apostle saith, "He treated His
angels with
severity. He spared them not, but made them to dwell in a
state of judgement, and they were fettered until the Great Day." The
word of God conquered, Who had fashioned ADAM in His
likeness (or, form), and those who had reviled and made a laughingstock
of ADAM were conquered. And
the daughters of CAIN
with whom the angels had companied conceived, but they were unable to
bring forth their children, and they died. And of the children who were
in their wombs some died, and some came forth; having split open the
bellies of their mothers they came forth by their navels. And
when they
were grown up and reached man's estate they became giants, whose height
reached unto the clouds; and for their sakes and the
sakes of
sinners
the wrath of God became quiet, and He said, "My spirit shall only rest
on them for one hundred and twenty years, and I will destroy them with
the waters of the Flood,"them and all sinners who have not believed the
word of God. And to
those who believed the word of their fathers, and did His Will, no
injury came from the waters of the Flood, but He delivered them,
saying, "If thou believest My word thou canst save thyself from the
Flood." And NOAH said, "O Lord, I believe Thy word,
make me to know by what means I can be saved." And God said unto him,
"Thou canst be saved from the water by wood." And NOAH
said, "How, O Lord?" And God said unto him, "Make thyself a four-sided
ark, and build it with the work of the carpenter, and make for it three
storeys inside, and go into it with all thy house." And NOAH
believed the word of God, and made [the ark], and was saved.
BOOK OF NOAH (from 1 Enoch) http://www.uoregon.edu/%7Edfalk/courses/dssbible/noah.htm [Chapter 6] 1 And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto 2 them beautiful and comely daughters. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: 'Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men 3 and beget us children.' And SHEMjaza , who was their leader, said unto them: 'I fear ye will not 4 indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of a great sin.' And they all answered him and said: 'Let us all swear an oath, and all bind ourselves by mutual imprecations 5 not to abandon this plan but to do this thing.' Then sware they all together and bound themselves 6 by mutual imprecations upon it. And they were in all two hundred; who descended in the days of Jared on the summit of Mount Hermon, and they called it Mount Hermon, because they had sworn 7 and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it. And these are the names of their leaders: Samlazaz (SHEMyaza), their leader, Araklba, Rameel, Kokablel, Tamlel, Ramlel, Danel, Ezeqeel, Baraqijal, 8 Asael (Azazel), Armaros, Batarel, Ananel, Zaq1el, Samsapeel (SHEMsapeel), Satarel (Sataniel), Turel, Jomjael, Sariel (Ariel or Uriel). These are their chiefs of tens. [Chapter 7] 1 And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives, and each chose for himself one, and they began to go in unto them and to defile themselves with them, and they taught them charms 2 and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted with plants. And they 3 became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three thousand ells: Who consumed 4 all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, the giants turned against 5 them and devoured mankind. And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and 6 fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood. Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones. [Chapter 8] 1 And Azazel taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals of the earth and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all 2 colouring tinctures. And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they 3 were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways. SHEMjaza taught enchantments, and root-cuttings, 'Armaros the resolving of enchantments, Baraqijal (taught) astrology, Kokabel the constellations, Ezeqeel the knowledge of the clouds, Araqiel the signs of the earth, Shemsiel (SHEMsiel) the signs of the sun, and Sariel the course of the moon. And as men perished, they cried, and their cry went up to heaven . . . [Chapter 106] 1 And after some days my son Methuselah took a wife for his
son Lamech,
and she became 2 pregnant by him and bore a son. And his body was white
as snow and red as the blooming of a rose, and the hair of his head and
his long locks were white as wool, and his eyes beautiful. And
when he
opened his eyes, he lighted up the whole house like the sun, and the
whole
house 3 was very bright. And thereupon he arose in the hands of
the midwife,
opened his mouth, and conversed with the Lord of righteousness. 4 And
his
father Lamech was afraid of him and 5 fled, and came to his father
Methuselah.
And he said unto him: '
I have begotten a strange son,
diverse from and
unlike man, and
resembling the sons of the
God of heaven;
and his nature
is different and he is not like us, and his eyes are as the rays of the
sun, and his 6 countenance is glorious. And
it seems to me that he is not
sprung from me but from the
angels, and
I fear that in his days a wonder
may be 7 wrought on the earth. And now, my father, I
am here to petition
thee and implore thee that thou mayest go to Enoch, our father, and
learn
from him the truth, for his dwelling-place is 8
amongst the angels.' And
when Methuselah heard the words of his son, he came to me to the ends
of
the earth; for he had heard that 1 was there, and he cried aloud, and I
heard his voice and I came to him. And 1 said unto him: ' Behold, here
am I, my son, wherefore hast 9 thou come to me ? ' And he answered and
said: ' Because of a great cause of anxiety have I come to thee, and
because
of a disturbing vision 10 have I approached. And now, my father, hear
me:
unto Lamech my son there hath been born a son, the like of whom there
is
none, and his nature is not like man's nature, and the colour of his
body
is whiter than snow and redder than the bloom of a rose, and the hair
of
his head is whiter than white wool, and his eyes are like the rays of
the
sun, and he opened his eyes and 11 thereupon lighted up the whole house.
And he arose in the hands of the midwife, and opened 12 his mouth and
blessed
the Lord of heaven. And his father Lamech became afraid and fled to me, and did not
believe
that he was sprung from him, but that he was in the
likeness of the angels of
heaven;
and behold I have come to thee that thou
mayest make known to me the truth.' And I, Enoch, answered and said
unto
him:
'The Lord will do a new thing on the earth, and this I have already
seen in a vision, and make known to thee that in the generation of
my
father
Jared some of the angels of heaven transgressed the word of the Lord.
And
behold they commit sin and transgress the law, and have united
themselves
with women and commit sin with them,
and have married some of them, and
have begot children by them. And they shall
produce on
the earth giants
not according to the spirit, but
according to the flesh,
and there shall
be a great punishment on the earth, and the earth shall be cleansed
from
all impurity. Yea, there shall come a great destruction over the whole
earth, and there shall be a deluge and 16 a great destruction for one
year.
And this son who has been born unto you shall be left on the earth, and
his three children shall be saved with him: when all mankind that are
on
the earth 8 shall die [he and his sons shall be saved]. And now make
known
to thy son Lamech that he who has been born is in truth his son, and
call
his name Noah; for he shall be left to you, and he and his sons shall
be
saved from the destruction, which shall come upon the earth on account
of all the sin and all the unrighteousness, which shall be consummated
on the earth in his days. And after that there shall be still more
unrighteousness
than that which was first consummated on the earth;
for I know the mysteries
of the holy ones; for He, the Lord, has showed me and informed me, and
I have read (them) in the heavenly tablets.
Chap.IV In reply I said to her, "This is magnificent and marvellous. But who are the six young men who are engaged in building?" And she said, "These are the holy angels of God, who were first created, and to whom the Lord handed over His whole creation, that they might increase and build up and rule over the whole creation. By these will the building of the tower be finished." "But who are the other persons who are engaged in carrying the stones?" These also are holy angels of the Lord, but the former six are more excellent than these. The building of the tower will be finished, and all will rejoice together around the tower, and they will glorify God, because the tower is finished." I asked her, saying, "Lady, I should like to know what became of the stones, and what was meant by the various kinds of stones?" In reply she said to me, "Not because you are more deserving than all others that this revelation should be made to you--for there are others before you, and better than you, to whom these visions should have been revealed--but that the name of God may be glorified, has the revelation been made to you, and it will be made on account of the doubtful who ponder in their hearts whether these things will be or not. Tell them that all these things are true, and that none of them is beyond the truth. All of them are firm and sure, and established on a strong foundation.

1ST NEPHILLIM 1:8. And being thus overcome with the {A} Spirit, he was carried away in a vision, even that he saw the heavens open, and he thought he saw God sitting upon his throne, surrounded with numberless concourses of angels in the attitude of singing and praising their God.
1ST NEPHILLIM 1:9. And it came to pass that he saw One descending out of the midst of heaven, and he beheld that his luster was above that of the sun at noon-day.
1ST NEPHILLIM 1:10. And he also saw twelve others following him, and their brightness did exceed that of the stars in the firmament.
1ST NEPHILLIM 1:11. And they came down and went forth upon the face of the earth; and the first came and stood before my father, and gave unto him a book, and bade him that he should read.
1ST NEPHILLIM 1:12. And it came to pass that as he read, he was filled with the Spirit of the Lord.
1ST NEPHILLIM 1:13. And he read, saying: Wo, wo, unto Jerusalem, for I
have
seen thine abominations! Yea, and many things did my father read
concerning Jerusalem--that it should be destroyed, and the inhabitants
thereof; many should perish by the sword, and many should be carried
away captive into Babylon.
WORDS OF MORMON 11. And
they were handed down from king Benjamin, from
generation to generation until they have fallen into my hands. And I,
Mormon, pray to God that they may be preserved from this time
henceforth. And I know that they will be preserved; for there are great
things written upon them, out of which my people and their brethren
shall be judged at the great and last day, according to the word of God
which is written.
ETHER 1:3. And as I suppose that the first part of this record, which
speaks concerning the creation of the world, and also of Adam, and an
account from that time even to the great tower, and whatsoever things
transpired among the children of men until that time, is had among the
Jews --
ETHER 1:4. Therefore I do not write those things which transpired from the days of Adam until that time; but they are had upon the plates; and whoso findeth them, the same will have power that he may get the full account.
ETHER 1:5. But behold, I give not the full account, but a part of the account I give, from the tower down until they were destroyed.
ETHER 1:6. And on this wise do I give the account. He that wrote this record was Ether, and he was a descendant of Coriantor.
ETHER 1:7. Coriantor was the son of Moron.
ETHER 1:8. And Moron was the son of Ethem.
ETHER 1:9. And Ethem was the son of Ahah.

ETHER 1:12. And Shiblon was the son of Com.
ETHER 1:33. Which Jared came forth with his brother and their families, with some others and their families, from the great tower, at the time the Lord confounded the language of the people, and swore in his wrath that they should be scattered upon all the face of the earth; and according to the word of the Lord the people were scattered.
ETHER 1:34. And the brother of Jared being a large and mighty man, and a man highly favored of the Lord, Jared, his brother, said unto him: Cry unto the Lord, that he will not confound us that we may not understand our words.
ETHER 1:35. And it came to pass that the brother of Jared did cry unto the Lord, and the Lord had compassion upon Jared; therefore he did not confound the language of Jared; and Jared and his brother were not confounded.
ETHER 2:1. And it came to pass that Jared and his brother, and their families, and also the friends of Jared and his brother and their families, went down into the valley which was northward, (and the name of the valley was Nimrod, being called after the mighty hunter) with their flocks which they had gathered together, male and female, of every kind.
ETHER 2:2. And they did also lay snares and catch fowls of the air; and they did also prepare a vessel, in which they did carry with them the fish of the waters.
ETHER 2:3. And they did also carry with them deseret, which, by interpretation, is a honey bee; and thus they did carry with them swarms of bees, and all manner of that which was upon the face of the land, seeds of every kind.
ETHER 2:4. And it came to pass that when they had come down into the valley of Nimrod the Lord came down and talked with the brother of Jared; and he was in a cloud, and the brother of Jared saw him not.

A few years prior to this, when the Rebbe began talking about the Sheva Mitzvos (Seven Noahide Laws of the shem shame of Lucifer) in earnest, the Rebbe made it clear that the U.S. had an important role to play in teaching the Sheva Mitzvos to the world. Being a kingdom of chesed (CHABAD LUBAVITCH PHARISEES) with worldwide economic clout, the U.S. could use its strong position in the world to influence the nations to fulfill their mitzvos.

He said: "My Lord! Forgive me, and bestow upon me a kingdom such as shall not belong to any other after me: Verily, You are the Bestower."

[Saying of Allâh to Sulaimân (Solomon)]: "This is Our gift, so spend you or withhold, no account will be asked."
Hadith - Sahih Bukhari 4:533, Narrated Jabi bin 'Abdullah
The Prophet said,
"Cover
your
utensils
and tie your water skins, and close your doors and keep
your children close
to you at night, as the Jinns spread out at such time and snatch things
away.
When you go to bed, put out your lights, for the mischief-doer (i.e.
the
rat) may drag away the wick of the candle and burn the dwellers of the
house.
" Ata said, "The devils." (instead of the Jinns).
Hadith - Sunan of Abu Dawood,
Narrated
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri
Muhammad ibn AbuYahya said that his father told that he and his companion went to AbuSa'id al-Khudri to pay a sick visit to him. He said: Then we came out from him and met a companion of ours who wanted to go to him. We went ahead and sat in the mosque. He then came back and told us that he heard AbuSa'id al-Khudri say: The Apostle of Allah said: Some snakes are jinn; so when anyone sees one of them in his house, he should give it a warning three times. If it return (after that), he should kill it, for it is a devil.
