Questions and Answers – Part Four
The following questions and answers have been selected at random from The Last Days of Tolemac.
The Return of the Comet
The key to understanding the coming karmic cleansing of the earth lies hidden in the past. For the same source that caused the devastation of the past will return to fulfill its appointed purpose in the future that is about to unfold upon the earth.
Q: What do you mean by this?
A: The things that are about to happen on earth are directly linked to events that occurred some 3,500 years ago. This was the time when the Hebrew people were being held captive as slaves in the land of Egypt.
The book of Exodus in the Bible tells the story of how Moses was drawn to the sight of a burning bush. When he approached it, he heard a voice that identified itself as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. This voice told Moses that he had been chosen to lead the children of Israel out of Egypt.
Q: What does this have to do with coming events?
A: When Moses confronted Pharaoh and demanded that he let the people go, Pharaoh refused. Moses then told him that if he did not set the captives free, a series of plagues would afflict the land of Egypt.
The ten plagues that descended upon the people of Egypt are described in the following verses of the Book of Exodus:
“Behold, I will smite with the rod that is in mine hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood. And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the water of the river.” (7:17-18)
“And the lord spake unto Moses, go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the lord, let my people go, that they may serve me. And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs: And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly.” (8:1-3)
“And the Lord said unto Moses, say unto Aaron, stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.” (8:16)
“Thus saith the Lord, let my people go, that they may serve me. Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses.” (8:20-21)
“For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still, behold the hand of the Lord is upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain.” (9:2-3)
“And the Lord said unto Moses and unto Aaron, take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh. And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.” (9:8-9)
“And the Lord said unto Moses, stretch forth thine hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.” (9:22)
“And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along the ground; and the Lord rained hail upon the land of Egypt. So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.” (9:23-24)
“And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled. But the wheat and the rye were not smitten: for they were not grown up.” (9:31-32)
“If thou refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow will I bring the locusts into thy coast. And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field.” (10:4-5)
“But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go. And the Lord said unto Moses, stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt. And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven: and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days.” (10:20-22)
“And the Lord said unto Moses, yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether.” (11:1)
“And Moses said, thus saith the lord, about midnight will I go out in the midst of Egypt: and all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die.” (11:4-5)
“And it came to pass, that at midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of cattle.” (12:29)
“And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.” (12:30)
“And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the Lord, as ye have said. Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone.” (12:31-32)
Q: What happened in Egypt to cause all these plagues?
A: The answer lies in the sequence of the plagues themselves. The first plague was “blood” falling from the sky which polluted the rivers and the drinking water. This was followed by an outbreak of frogs, lice and flies. Then came the “murrain”, which was an infectious disease that killed the livestock.
The sixth plague was a strange dust that caused boils and blisters to break out on the skin of people and animals. Then came thunder and hail, and fire that ran along the ground, destroying the crops in the field. This was followed by a vast swarm of locusts that destroyed the crops that had survived the hail.
Finally, there came a strange darkness that covered the entire land of Egypt. It not only darkened the sky, but it was a darkness that could be felt as well. According to the Bible, this darkness lasted for a period of three days.
The final plague caused Pharaoh to decide to release the slaves. It was a disaster that struck in the middle of the night, causing death throughout all the land of Egypt on a scale that left no family untouched, from the house of Pharaoh to the captives in their dungeons.
Most Biblical scholars interpret the story of the plagues of Egypt as a series of miracles performed by Moses and authorized by God as part of his plan to deliver the children of Israel out of bondage in Egypt.
These scholars have probably never considered the possibility that the plagues that descended upon Egypt might not have been supernatural miracles at all, but rather the natural consequences of a close encounter between the earth and a large comet.
Q: How could a comet cause all these different plagues?
A: Comets are bodies of rock and dust that orbit the sun. When a comet approaches the sun, the core or nucleus of the comet becomes heated by the sun and releases streams of incandescent gas and dust.
The pressure of the solar wind causes streams of gas and dust to form a tail behind the nucleus of the comet. This luminous tail can extend many millions of miles into space, depending on the size and nature of the nucleus of the comet.
Due to the pressure of the solar wind, the tail of a comet always points away from the sun. So once the nucleus has passed around the sun and begins its journey back into outer space, the tail of the comet now goes in front of the comet and not behind it.
Q: How does this explain the plagues at the time of Moses?
A: The comet that approached the earth at the time of Moses was very large, and had an extremely long tail consisting of gas, dust and other particles. Because the nucleus of the comet contained iron, the dust in the tail of the comet was red in colour.
As this comet was heading away from the sun it happened to cross the orbit of the earth. Because the tail of the comet was now travelling in front of the nucleus, the first sign that people living on the earth had of the approaching comet, was a stream of tiny particles of red dust entering the atmosphere.
As these red dust particles descended upon the earth, they turned the surfaces of rivers, lakes and seas red in colour. This made it seem like the rivers and the drinking water were turning into “blood”. It was these red dust particles that polluted the water and made it unfit to drink.
This contaminated water then caused the fish to die. Their dead carcasses then began to decompose causing the rivers to “stink”. To escape from the foul water, the frogs abandoned the rivers and made their way onto the land and into the houses of the Egyptians, causing the second plague.
As the earth continued to pass through the tail of the comet, the red dust that now coated the surface of the planet caused an infestation of lice, followed by immense swarms of flies. It also caused a variety of skin irritations, boils and blisters that afflicted people and animals alike.
The lice and flies then combined to spread the outbreaks of disease that infected the Egyptian cattle, horses, camels, donkeys, sheep and goats, causing large numbers of them to die.
As the earth plunged deeper into the tail of the comet, the particles of reddish dust now gave way to gravel particles. These incandescent particles fell to earth in a dense shower of burning meteorites that looked like hail but were hot like fire. When they landed they “ran along the ground”.
These flaming meteorites not only struck people and animals, but they devastated the crops as well. This fiery hail “smote every herb and broke every tree in the field”. Although standing crops like flax and barley were damaged, others like wheat and rye were unaffected because “they were not grown up”.
The remaining crops were then eaten by an enormous swarm of locusts brought on by a “the strong east wind” that was so large that it darkened the sky. When the locusts were done, “there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt.”
The ninth plague was a thick darkness that engulfed the whole of Egypt for three days. The source of this darkness was the Coma, or inky, black, gaseous envelope that surrounded the nucleus of the comet, that caused the air to become so thick that breathing became laboured and the very air itself seemed to stick in the throat. This was a darkness “that could be felt”.
The final plague came in the middle of the night, causing death and destruction throughout all the land of Egypt. Your Bible scholars have long wondered what this agent of death might have been, even though the answer can be plainly seen in the words of Psalm 77.
“The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook. Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known. Thou leddest thy people like flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.” (Psalm 77: 14-20)
This instrument of death was a mighty earthquake which shook the entire land of Egypt. It was caused by the gravitational pull of the huge nucleus of the comet passing close to the earth. But why did this earthquake appear to act selectively, by harming the Egyptians and sparing the Israelites?
Because the houses of the Egyptians were made of heavy blocks of stone, this earthquake in the middle of the night caused all of their stone houses to collapse, crushing many of the people who were sleeping inside. According to the Bible, only the homes of the children of Israel were spared.
The reason why the plague of death “passed over” the children of Israel was because, being slaves, they did not live in houses made of stone, but in dwellings made of mud and reeds. Their houses were able to withstand the shaking of the ground, allowing them to be spared.
