Book Description

Publication Date: 31 July 1998 | ISBN-10: 0380780763 | ISBN-13: 978-0380780761 | Edition: Reissue
The Ultimate Human Experience

The interaction between mankind and spiritual beings -- of Divine Encounters -- as recorded inscriptures and ancient texts provides a powerful drama that spans Heaven and Earth, involving worship and devotion, eternity and mortality, love and sex, jealousy and murder. But how much of these are based on real happenings and how much is based on myth?

With a visionary's ardor and a scientist's attention to detail, Zecharia Sitchin, author ofThe Earth Chronicles, gives a stunning account of human interaction with celestial travelers. He also provides further proof that prophetic dreams, visions, UFO encounters, and other extraordinary phenomena are indeed the hallmark of intervention by intergalactic emissaries who reach out from other realms to enlighten, guide, punish, and comfort us in times of need. Sitchin's research and theories, illustrated with maps and charts, chronicle a magnificent and inspiring journey through history, from the dawn of time to the approach of the millennium.

First Sentence
Divine Encounters are the ultimate human experience-the maximal, the utmost possible when alive, as when Moses encountered the Lord upon Mount Sinai; and the final, termi , and conclusive, as that of Egyptian Pharaohs who at death assumed an eternal Afterlife by joining the gods in their Divine Abode. Read the first page

4.0 out of 5 stars Genesis & Exodus will, perhaps, never be the same again - at least in places! 28 Oct 2008
By J. McGregor
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Interesting man, with lots of credentials. I would not presume to match Sitchin's academic expertise, but although I found this book a fascinating read (and others in the series) its biggest contradiction is in its conclusion. In a "cracking" chapter called "The Greatest Theophany," Sitchin suggests that YHWH is one of the Annunaki (at least that's how I understood him?) and the encounter between Moses and YHWH is exactly that: an encounter with an "elohim" of very high rank, if not the highest, who comes down in a "Kabod," a spaceship and reveals himself to Moses. The description on the mountain is then described as being a fantastic UFO encounter, radiation burns and all on Moses' face! (Never thought of it like this before!)

However, in Sitchin's concluding chapter, he refutes all the Sumerian/Egyptian possibilities that suggest that YHWH could be one of the Annunaki. Like a good Jewish lad, he ends up affirming his monotheistic roots by saying that YHWH is NOT a member of the Annunaki at all. Rather, YHWH is the only God who rules even the Annunaki, and all beings and celestial objects are used to further the plans of YHWH for the development of the many worlds that exist in the universe.

As a result Sitchin manages to hold together his belief in the appearing of Planet X, or Nibiru and its surrounding moons and other orbiting planets? his belief in the Annunaki as "Elohim," and of course his monotheistic belief in YHWH, The Lord of the Universe. Though I think there is a contradiction in the way Sitchin put this book together, his numerous books are fascinating, and his depth of knowledge is immense. and every chapter in this book presents the reader with new perspectives. Anyone who thinks this man is "barking mad" needs a paradigm shift in the way they read the Bible, especially with regard to ancient near eastern texts. As Einstein said, "If the idea is not absurd in the first place, then there is no hope for it."

3.0 out of 5 stars Food For Thought 23 Nov 2002
By Pieter Uys HALL OF FAME TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Hardcover
An in-depth look at divine encounters (contacts, dreams, visions) from Sumerian, biblical and other ancient sources. This book does not have the flow of his Earth Chronicles but is interesting nevertheless. For many pages the author speculates about the Hebrew tribal deity YHWH and where it fits in amongst the Sumerian (Annunaki) gods - but the speculation is so endless that I must confess I cannot remember the conclusion he reached. Another great book in the same vein is Colin Wilson's "From Atlantis To The Sphinx."

5.0 out of 5 stars At last! The identity of Yahweh? 1 July 1998
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Another masterpiece by my hero. And if that's not enough, at last, the answer to the burning (bush?) question... just who was the God of the Jews?... was he "just another annunaki"?... or more? A "don't miss this" for readers of the "Earth Chronicles". Awesome!
