233 clear whether that was a prediction of what is to follow the gods’ departure, or whether it was during such a time that their anger and disappointment with Mankind grew, leading to the Departure. It seems that the latter is the case, for it is probably no coincidence that the era of biblical prophecy re- garding the nations’ sins and the coming judgment on the Day of the Lord began with Amos and Hosea circa 760/750 B.C.E.—two centuries before the Return of Nibiru! For two centuries the Prophets, from the only legitimate place of the “Bond Heaven-Earth’—Jerusalem—called for justice and honesty among people and peace among nations, scorned meaningless offerings and worship of lifeless idols, denounced wanton conquests and pitiless destruction, and warned one nation after another—Israel included—of the inevitable pun- ishments, but to no avail. If that was the case, then what had taken place was a gradual buildup of divine anger and disappointment, and the reaching of a conclusion by the Anunnaki that “enough is enough’—it was time to leave.

When that did not work, they shifted to mining operations in southeastern Africa and smelting and refining in the E.DIN, the future Sumer. Their number increased to 600 on Earth plus 300 Igigi who oper- ated celestial craft to a way station on Mars, from which the long-haul spacecraft to Nibiru could be launched more eas- ily. Enlil, Enki’s half-brother and rival for the succession, came and was put in overall command. When the Anunnaki toiling in the mines mutinied, Enki suggested that a “Prim- itive Worker” be fashioned; it was done by genetically up- When the Gods Left Earth
