Footnotes

404

Eber means “region beyond” read a father of the whole of the builders of Beyond. Eber is a root to the word Hebrew (See #5680): people of the region beyond. Beyond what? The “horizon”, the “Olam”, the Age. An attempt to tkind this thought along the lines of Western linear time will conjure up ideas of Back to the Future or Terminator being sent back in time and thus possessing knowledge of what is coming. Yahweh’s time however is not linear but cyclical, and thus the concept must be meditated upon in that sense.
