Endpaper 379 and who shall be. It is an answer and a name that befit the biblical concept of Yahweh as eternally existing—One who was, who is, and who shall continue to be. A frequent form of stating this everlasting nature of the biblical God is the expression "Thou art from Olam to Olam." It is usually translated, "Thou art everlasting;" this conveys undoubtedly the sense of the statement, but not its precise meaning. Literally taken it suggests that the existence and reign of Yahweh extended from one Olam to another— that He was "king, lord" not only of the one Olam _ that was the equivalent of the Mesopotamian Nibiru—but of other Olams, of other worlds! No less than eleven times, the Bible refers to Yahweh's abode, domain, and "kingdom" using the term Olamim. the plural of Olam—a domain, an abode, a kingdom that encom- passes many worlds. It is an expansion of Yahweh's Lordship beyond the notion of a "national god" to that of a Judge of all the nations; beyond the Earth and beyond Nibiru, to the "Heavens of Heaven" (Deuteronomy 10:14, I Kings 8:27, IL Chronicles 2:5 and 6:18) that encompass not only the Solar System but even the distant stars (Deuteronomy 4:19, Ecclesi- astes 12:2). THIS IS THE IMAGE OF A COSMIC VOYAGER. All else—the celestial planetary "gods," Nibiru that re- made our Solar System and remakes the Earth on its near passages, the Anunnaki "Elohim," Mankind, nations, kings—all are His manifestations and His instruments, car- rying out a divine and universal everlasting plan. In a way we are all His Angels, and when the time comes for Earthlings to travel in space and emulate the Anunnaki, on some other world, we too shall only be carrying out a destined future. It is an image of a universal Lord that is best summed up in the hymnal prayer Adon Olam that is recited as a majestic song in Jewish synagogue services on festivals, on the Sab- bath, and on each and every day of the year: Lord of the universe, who has reigned Ere all that exists had yet been created. When by His will all things were wrought, "Sovereign" was His name was then pronounced.
