Happy Hobbit Day Everyone! | |
Outis User ID: 83935765 United States 09/22/2022 02:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Copperegla, there really are many levels in this book. From the human, or hobbit existence, to the semi-divine, or even divine. Quoting: Outis 83935765 Definitely. The dualities in particular are striking. Gollum is to Frodo as Boromir is to Aragorn as Saruman is to Gandalf as Melkor is to Manwe as Sauron is to Aule In each duality, the destruction of the dark side proves the valor of the light. This is the duality of kpr ("deny/atone"). Duality, Modality, Totality. Initials, DMT. Never tried it myself, but your pineal gland produces it naturally, at birth and at death, and in between if you are adept. Light will win, even though the dark seems to be winning. |

Companion of dwarves (j-ws), even knows the head dwarf. Went to certain death inside the Lonely Mountain but came out alive holding the greatest treasure of the dwarves, and also another treasure (Sauron's ring), while a son of man (Bard of Dale) slayed the dragon that would have surely devoured Bilbo. Bilbo's relatives presumed he was dead, until he showed up alive. Sauron and company learn of Bilbo and desire to find and kill him, but Bilbo left his home for Rivendell. Author of "There and Back Again". Matthew 7:2 & 7:12 are a prophecy specific to you, "By the judgment that you judge, you will be judged. And by the measure that you measure, you will be measured.... Whatever you want a person to do to you, do also to them, for this is the law and the prophets." |

Sort of like Job, perhaps, though he didn't receive sore boils from The Satan. |

Sort of like Job, perhaps, though he didn't receive sore boils from The Satan. My theory is that Bilbo is like Lazarus. Lazarus went into the mountain but was resurrected. He was probably the author of the fourth gospel (he's at least always been the runner-up choice, because of the statement in John 21 regarding the gospel author "a rumor went out among the brethren that this disciple would not die” - that only makes sense applied to Lazarus because he had already died once). Here's my write up in detail: [link to www.logicalhierarchy.com (secure)] If Lazarus is the author of the fourth gospel, then it was Lazarus with Mary at the cross who received the Messiah's words, "Woman, behold your son. Behold your mother." This language was literally in Hebrew law the same language used to convey inheritance (last will and testament). The greatest treasure of the J-ws was their assembly/synagogue/temple/priesthood. Yeshua appointed Lazarus the new head priest, in a sense. Or the first bishop if you prefer. If Lazarus was being hunted by the ruling class who wanted to kill him (as the gospel states) and Lazarus fled Jerusalem, would he change his name (i.e., to John)? Did he become the bishop of Ephesus, the first church in Revelation? These are mysteries, but the above paper provides evidence to explore the possibilities.

Though I like your analysis, I don't agree that Bilbo was Lazarus. He was not dead or resurrected. He was a happy,wealthy hobbit before he went on that adventure, and found (stole) "The Precious." |

He was a happy, wealthy hobbit before he went on that adventure, and found (stole) "The Precious." Quoting: Outis 83935765 Such a cool mystery! I love discussing middle earth and all the fun possible interpretations. Leviticus 16:2 (priest enters the temple alone to find the "ark"); Hobbit (Bilbo enters lone mountain to find "arkenstone") Leviticus 16:3 (bifur); Hobbit (dwarf named bifur) Leviticus 16:14 (blood on finger); LOTR (ring on finger) Leviticus 16:21 (aiunth); Silmarillions (ainur) There is so much to discover and think about. Did you pick up on the duality between Sauron and Aule? Sauron was 2nd in command after Melkor, just like Aule was 2nd in command (in a sense) after Manwe. Sauron was known for his handicraft (especially making the rings) and teaching the elves. Aule also was known for his handicraft and teaching the dwarves. In an interview, Tolkien likened the ring to "the machine" in the general sense. Modern j-ws (in particular the kabbalists) liken their spiritual power to technology -- they literally call it "internal technology". And here we are on the cusp of transhumanism, a time where Tolkien has never been more relevant. It's like Orwell or Huxley. They wrote decades ago for times such as these. Matthew 7:2 & 7:12 are a prophecy specific to you, "By the judgment that you judge, you will be judged. And by the measure that you measure, you will be measured.... Whatever you want a person to do to you, do also to them, for this is the law and the prophets." |

(OP) User ID: 76385511 United States 09/22/2022 06:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Answer me this, Copperegla; who is Judas in LOTR? I'm thinking Saruman, but you probably have a better answer. Quoting: Outis 83935765 ...or possibly Boromir... It cannot be Saruman because he represents a fallen angel, just like Gandalf represents a good angel. I think Boromir is correct for Judas. In the original language, Judas was called Yehuda. Like an apostle (sent on a mission), Boromir was chosen to be in the small company of Aragorn (Yeshua). Boromir's family (Yehuda) held stewardship over Gondor (Israel). Boromir wanted to seize the ring (Judas held the purse, and sold out in the end for 30 pieces of silver), and though Boromir repented (as Judas did) he still died cruelly by wooden arrows (Judas suicide on a tree). Faramir, the brother of Boromir (Yehuda), valiantly accepted Aragorn (Yeshua) as the rightful king of Gondor. Faramir's father Denethor (representing the greater tribe ruling Yehuda) rejected Aragorn as king. Indeed, this makes Denethor like Herod. My fav characters in all the books are, Lord Fingolfin, Lord Faramir and Sameise Gamgee. I am loving your commentary!!!!! what a wonderful birthday present!
