Name five tribes of the Iroquois confederation .

Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca. (Tuscarora later)

I will presume, lol ...

First Clue: The Sefer ha-Zohar (13th Century A.D) states that Noah was bitten by a lion in the Ark and permanently lamed.

Second Clue: We are also told that Noah, the first man to plant a vineyard, became drunk on his own wine and fell asleep naked inside his tent(Genesis 9:21).

Third Clue: A similar symbolic destruction/non-destruction is reported in all three Synoptic Gospels at the very moment of Jesus’ death upon the cross.

Question: What Greek God has a very intriguing similar life story (myth)?

Dionysus is the Greek God of wine, but I do not see a connection to Noah?????

Good catch Espirit! :0))

Dionysus and Jesus and the Simultaneous Cosmic Destruction-Creation view link

Compare the Dionysus myths with the account of Noah and the lion. Hidden within the womb of the Ark (upon the ocean of death and Life), the mythical Noah must also of undergone a second, more glorious birth as he penetrated the solar gateway to paradise and obtained the ambrosial born (Genesis 9:21), before re-entering the temporal realm. The wounding of the ‘lunar’ Noah is attested in the Sefer ha-Zohar (13th Century A.D), which states that Noah was bitten by a lion in the Ark and permanently lamed. We are also told that Noah, the first man to plant a vineyard, became drunk on his own wine and fell asleep naked inside his tent. That the mythological victim partook of his own ambrosia is well attested.

In both cases it is the lion who strikes. we also see the god as the wounded and the one who wounds, from both a lunar-cosmic (as in the case of Noah) and solar-transcendent (as the the case of Dionysus) perspective.

A similar symbolic destruction/non-destruction is reported in all three Synoptic Gospels at the very moment of Jesus’ death upon the cross:

It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour, for the sun had stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this he breathed his last.
Luke 23:44–46
N.I.V

Both Mark and Matthew tell us that this curtain was torn in two “from top to bottom” (Mk 15:38), to which Matthew adds;

The earth shook and the rocks split. The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life
27:51–52
N.I.V

As to which curtain was torn the gospels do not specify, however, New Testament scripture points us toward the inner curtain that set apart the Most Holy place from the rest of the temple, symbolizing that great work of Christ. In the words of Matthew Henry;

He died, to bring us to God, and, in order thereunto, to rend that veil of Guilt and wrath which interposed between us and him, to take away the cherubim and flaming sword, and to open the way to the Tree of Life
(Matthew Henry, 1991, vol.5; p.349)

Tag! You're it! :0))

Who said this......

"And can you, then, who have got such possessions and so many of them, covet our poor tents(or mud huts)?"

This said by a famous British cheiftain (who was captured by the Romans) He was led through the streets of Rome and upon seeing the might and power of Rome he said this.

"And can you, then, who have got such possessions and so many of them, covet our poor tents?"

He was allowed to speak to the Roman Senate and so impressed them that he was allowed to live out his life in Rome.

Who was this man?

Caratacus, a barbarian chieftain

Exactly so Yichel.........one of my hero's. A Prince of his times. Even impressed the Romans. I would not call him a barbarian though. A Prince of Britain....not a barbarian.

Your turn Yichel

Only one son of a president has been married in the whitehouse can you name both the president & his son?
