Do you astro folx (who were raised in one of the Western monotheistic traditions) remember Ba'al from your Sunday/Hebrew/Qur'an school stories?
The "bad" god in the story of prophet Elijah?>>>
2/šŸ§µGuess who Ba'al was to the Phoenicians?
āœØThe constellation Orion. āœØ
Yup.
And they observed Ba'al/Orion's movements in giant reflecting pools that were oriented to the directions of the equinox and solstices.
These pools are found in Phoenician temple complexes>
3/šŸ§µall over the ancient Mediterranean, as the Phoenicians were skilled sea-farers/traders.

I had known that the Phoenicians were amazing navigatiors (they got at least as far as the West coast of Africa and the British isles).
And I knew they worshipped Astarte/Venus>>>

#Elijah was a #timetraveler.

He drops into the #bible with no genealogical backstory and does amazing things. At the end of his ministry he is whisked away in his time portal/chariot of fire

His purpose was to drop into that time period from the future for some unknown reason
2) How do we know #Elijah was from the future? It's because of what he taught Elisha

He mentored #Elisha, and we know Elisha was from that time period because 1 kings 19 describes his family

So how did Elisha know what to say in 2 kings 4:43-44
