“Shuruppak, a city that you surely know, situated on the banks of the Euphrates, that city was very old, and there were gods inside it. The hearts of the Great Gods moved them to inflict the Flood. Their Father Anu uttered the oath (of secrecy), Valiant Enlil was their Adviser, Ninurta was their Chamberlain, Ennugi was their Minister of Canals. Ea, the Clever Prince(?), was under oath with them so he repeated their talk to the reed house: ‘Reed house, reed house! Wall, wall! O man of Shuruppak, son of Ubartutu: Tear down the house and build a boat! Abandon wealth and seek living beings! Spurn possessions and keep alive living beings! Make all living beings go up into the boat. The boat which you are to build, its dimensions must measure equal to each other: its length must correspond to its width. Roof it over like the Apsu.’”
They use different names and although the media the story is written on is older than the oldest media the Bible is written on, we know that its a later story due to the way it quotes but dilutes the story from the bible over time.
See the biblical account gives exact dimensions and explains how the animals got on the boat as well as using pitch to seal the boat.
“Just as dawn began to glow there arose from the horizon a black cloud. Adad rumbled inside of it, before him went Shullat and Hanish, heralds going over mountain and land. Erragal pulled out the mooring poles, forth went Ninurta and made the dikes overflow. The Anunnaki lifted up the torches, setting the land ablaze with their flare... The land shattered like a... pot. All day long the South Wind blew..., blowing fast, submerging the mountain in water, overwhelming the people like an attack. No one could see his fellow, they could not recognize each other in the torrent. The gods were frightened by the Flood, and retreated, ascending to the heaven of Anu. The gods were cowering like dogs, crouching by the outer wall. Ishtar shrieked like a woman in childbirth... Six days and seven nights came the wind and flood, the storm flattening the land. When the seventh day arrived, the storm was pounding, the flood was a war—struggling with itself like a woman writhing (in labor). The sea calmed, fell still, the whirlwind (and) flood stopped up.”
It appears that the epic of Gilgamesh is a merging of an earlier story called the Atrahasis and the bible.
No, I think Trump was taken in by his female zionist pastor and was following the Zionists belief system. Someone got to him and showed him some Bible verses and he realized that Zionism isn't biblical or Christian.
No because they would have to worry about the meal after that and the one after that.
The only true answer would be to fix economies so that people could work and feed themselves. However that would require more than money. It would require overthrowing many governments.
