Chapter 1
Professor Muse shrugged his shoulders.
What a poem! Six weeks had gone by. Yet, he was as puzzled as when he first
read the mystery poem.
It was 8 A.M. and he had already taken
half a dozen energy drinks. He was now on the seventh. He adjusted himself in
his seat and read the first line for the umpteenth time:
The
Flood came and swept the tree of life away, even Eden+o
Well, that was pretty straightforward.
The Hebrew people were gifted poets and sometimes their poems could be frank to
a fault.
However, it was not all that simple when
he read the second and the last line of the poem:
Yet,
the tree and the garden remain, as God decreed at the beginnin’+o
There was no clue to the present
location of Eden and the tree of life. But that was the message he would pass
on to Mr. Mark Catcher, the director of the FBI, when he comes at midday.
The professor put the two lines together
trying again to understand the contradictory lines:
The
Flood came and swept the tree of life away, even Eden+o
Yet, the tree and the garden remain, as God
decreed at the beginnin’+o
Intriguing, he thought, rising and
looking out of the window into the misty Washington morning.
The White House had given him this
lavishly furnished house with living rooms, a catering staff, a library of
poetry books, and a handsome life salary for the sole purpose of interpreting
the poem.
Who else could have been entrusted with
such an onerous responsibility? After ten years at the University of California
in Los Angeles, fifteen years at Emory and Harvard Universities, and a Nobel
Prize in literature, Professor Muse Letterman was the most suitable to explain
the ancient poem and say the location of Eden and the tree of life.
Only a few remember that his first name
was Jones. He earned the moniker, Muse, after interpreting a sonnet that had
baffled his colleagues at Harvard by just reading the first and the last
fourteenth lines.
But now, the Muse seemed to be failing
him.
Where-is-the-tree-of-life?
The answer depended in knowing where
Eden was. He looked at the Hebrew version of the poem to determine if some
letters that could provide a hint to the meaning were missing:
השיטפוןבא, וטיאטאאתהעץשלחייםהלאה,
אפילועדן+o
עדיין, הגןוהעץנשארים,
כ/כפישאלוהיםפסקבהתחלה+o
He was not an authority in the language,
but he found no missing lines. They were just two Hebrew lines ending with the
same mystic symbols. A team of
professors at Stanford University had done the Hebrew-to-English translation.
So there could be no fault in the English rendering. Hebrew must be the language of equivocators,
he thought.
Why do they call this the Methuselah
poem? He might just as well be living in Methuselah house! House of mystery. House
of secrets. He shrugged his shoulders again.
The professor now decided to reread the
cryptological interpretation accompanying the poem by the cryptologists. He did
not know how many times he had read it. He sat and read it again:
An
Interpretation of the Symbol of the Methuselah Poem by Cryptologists, Dr.
Lipson Divine and Mr. Sayer Oracle
The
+o symbol following the Methuselah poem is a pointer to the location of the
Garden of Eden and the tree of life. The + sign stands for the pagan cross,
originating from Tammuz, the deified Nimrod. Worshipers of the Babylonian gods
used the symbol, which was later adopted in modern religious worship.
The
o sign represents the sun which rises from the East, and could be a reference
to ancient worshipers of the sun god, Mithras. However, the circular symbol can
be found on church windows of today.
When
we looked at the composite sign +o, we think it might mean a sex symbol used in
worship at the temple of Ishtar, goddess of love and war. Also, the complete
symbol could represent the cross and circular signs on church windows.
We
looked at it again in conclusion and think that the whole sign refers to either
a pagan temple or a church.
The
above is the interpretation of the symbol +o with reference to the poem.
Signed
by: Dr. Lipson Divine and Mr. Sayer Oracle
The professor laughed for the first time
after rereading this, and stood up again. That was the vaguest report that he
had ever read! Why? An interpretation of the symbol should assist him in
explaining this baffling poem. But it seemed that even the renowned
symbologists were more confused.
They were doing permutation—simple
guesswork. Either North or South. Heaven or earth. Land or sea. Black or white.
They were not sure of anything. Just shuffling cards. They should have been
conjurers!
Talk of sex symbol. Is this supposed to
be a love story? Were they suggesting that the tree of life is in the temple of
Ishtar or Cupid? Or which pagan god or goddess for that matter was housing Eden
and the tree of life? Ridiculous!
Also, which church were they talking about? Is
it the old Roman Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Lutheran
Church, or the Egyptian Coptic Church? Is it the Anglican Church, the Church of
God, the New Jerusalem Church, the Mormon Church, or the Church of Christ
Scientists?
He wanted to search on-line for names of
churches, but he gave it up. That would only compound the problem. He would get
one million results!
How could Eden and the tree of life be
in one of those places? And who could undertake the task of finding it? They
were talking from two sides of the mouth!
It reminded him of Croesus, the
stupendously wealthy king of Lydia. The
king had gone to the oracle at Delphi to inquire if he would win a war against
King Cyrus the Great of Persia. “If Croesus crosses the Halys, he would destroy
a mighty empire,” the oracle had told him.
The all-believing King Croesus went to
war against King Cyrus but he was defeated by the Persians and chained as a
prisoner. The punch line was that the oracle later told him that it was his
fault because when he heard the prophecy, he didn’t ask whose kingdom would
fall.
King Croesus was done in by double talk. Not
for a professor like Muse. It was not the cryptologists but the Nobel laureate
who had the answer.
Now,
where was the original garden of bliss?
As the professor stood contemplating,
the FBI director drove in. He quickly sat, waiting . . .
Knowing the meaning of the poem was
crucial. It would open the way to the location of the lost tree of life in
Eden. America and China needed it to make an elixir of life in a new world
superpower game.
In the Bible book of Genesis chapter 2,
it said that God made Adam and Eve, the first man and woman, and put them in
Eden. This was a garden of eternal bliss, by a river of four tributaries and
abundant fruit trees.
God had commanded the pair to eat of
every fruit of all the trees of the garden except one. In chapter 2 verse 17,
it clearly says: “But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must
not eat from it for in the day you eat from it you will certainly die.”
Well, Adam and Eve, deceived by the
Devil, ate the forbidden fruit, fell under the sentence of death, and
died. But they would have lived on if
they had gotten hold of the fruit of another tree in the same garden: the tree of life.
To prevent them from reaching this tree,
God did something according to Genesis chapter 3 verse 24: “And so he drove man
out and posted at the east of the garden of Eden the Cherubs and flaming blades
of a sword that was turning itself continually to guard the way to the tree of
life.”
It is that way to the fruit tree that
gives eternal life that America and China were searching for. The first country
to reach it would remain the undisputed world superpower throughout eternity.
The fruit of the tree would be used to
develop a panacea for sickness, aging, and death. Adam and Eve would have
reversed death if they had braved the cherubs and the flaming swords and eaten
of the fruit.
Next to the long life that the citizens
of the discoverer would enjoy is the economic power. The elixir would generate
massive revenue from patients around the world, and the country has the right
to save or allow the rest of the world to perish.
