Chapter 6: Biblical Gold Leads To Ophir, Philippines
Parvaim Ties Ophir and the Garden of Eden
1 Chronicles 29:4 KJV Even three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses withal:
There are several references to gold in scripture. King Solomon used many tons of gold to build the temple. Sadly, some academics especially will form false narratives demanding for archaeology that the temple existed. However, the story is clear the temple was utterly destroyed and who would think logically that those walls overlaid with gold and refined silver would be left there in tact as a museum. Babylon took all of it. Why do you think Daniel identifies that empire as the head of gold? They had lots of it and much of it was taken from Judaea especially the Temple and Solomon’s Palace. Nothing was left and the second temple was the same as even Messiah prophesied not one stone would be left upon another and it was not. This project embodied billions of dollars of gold. However, the Bible reveals much more about this than identifying it as the gold of Ophir solely. Why? You will find it is providing clues to preserve this knowledge. For instance, later in 2 Chronicles, the author discusses this same gold he just referenced as originating in Ophir which was used to overlay the walls but this time by a different name.
2 Chronicles 3:6-7 KJV Further, he adorned the house (Temple of Solomon) with precious stones; and the gold was gold from Parvaim. He also overlaid the house with gold—the beams, the thresholds and its walls and its doors; and he carved cherubim on the walls.
Why use Ophir the first time and then, Parvaim introducing a new word to describe the same gold? This is a clue which preserves this history in such a brilliant way, even manipulators do not see it. This Hebrew word Parvaim opens this topic greatly in fact.
Hebrew: Parvaim: Parvayim: םיורפ: Oriental regions; Orient or eastern and is a general term for the east. Probably Ophir. Shortened form of Cepharvayim which occurs in the Syriac and Targum Jonathan for the “Sephar” of Genesis 10:30. Only used 1X. [47]
This is a bridge that binds much of this anecdote together and really offers insight. This use of Parvaim equates it to Ophir and the Bible Dictionaries and Concordances pick up on that. It first serves to give us a regional location of Ophir as it is equated in the Orient or Far East which would not include Saudi Arabia, Yemen nor Ethiopia. Let us not forget the Bible was written by Israelites who never viewed Israel nor the Middle East as the Orient – East. That’s a new Western mindset that cannot be applied to the writers of the Bible. However, this meaning is even more profound. Probably Ophir? No, definitely Ophir, they are equated by scripture in the same application. However, this next tie is the glue that we never expected. Shortened form of Cephar-vayim. In other words, Sephar, the mount of the East where Ophir, Sheba and Tarshish migrated is Cephar-vaim or Par-vaim. Though we do not consider the Pharisee Bibles scripture, it is telling when the Syriac and Targum of Jonathan both render this word Sephar in Genesis 10 as Cepharvaim or Parvaim equating these words. Sephar is made plural essentially. The place where Ophir migrated. We also know Sephar is a Hebrew word in which one of it’s meanings is the Tree of Life which is also in the Garden of Eden. Observe how the Dead Sea Scrolls really shed light on this connection. In the Dead Sea Scrolls there is even further support for this and a deeper association in Genesis Apocryphon. This is the narrative of Noah’s birth in which his father Lamech was very worried by his appearance of milky white skin which seemed more like the Nephilim who were the offspring of Fallen Angels and human women. He inquires of his father, Methuselah who encourages him Noah is fully human. Many wonder
about this but we feel strongly this is setting up the Flood as Noah was to preserve all races thus he was likely given Albino-like genes of sort that could allow all races to continue. This is a fragment and we are not making a case for it being included in the Canon of scripture but it is history and it expounds upon this geographic word Parvaim or similar as an historic source of affirmation.
Genesis Apocryphon Fragment. 1QapGen, 1Q20. Column II. This fruit was planted by you and by no stranger or Watcher or Son of Heaven… [Why] is your countenance thus changed and dismayed, and why is your spirit thus distressed… I speak to you truthfully.’ Then I, Lamech, ran to Methuselah my father, and I told him all these things. [And I asked him to go to Enoch] his father for he would surely learn all things from him. For he was beloved, and he shared the lot [of the angels], who taught him all things. And when Methuselah heard Enoch his father to learn all things truthfully from him… his will. He went at once to Parwain and he found him there… [and] he said to Enoch his father, ‘O my father, O my lord, to whom I… And I say to you, lest you be angry with me because I come here… [48]
In the previous chapter, we revealed that Enoch was not taken to Heaven but into the Garden of Eden. However, here we have a reference that Parvaim which is equated as Ophir and Sephar where Ophir immigrated, is the place where Enoch lived. Where did Enoch live? In the Garden of Eden as High Priest even performing sacrifices. We know also the Garden is protected by at least two terrible angels with a flaming sword that turns in every direction. Enoch would have had to exit the Garden and Methusaleh would not have been allowed inside. It is incorruptible with the Holy of Holies of Yahuah which just as with the Temple, only the High Priest may enter. This is not the only gold which leads in this same zip code. We’re guessing that might be 7777.
Gold of Uphaz, Ophir, Havilah and Land of Creation
Jeremiah 10:9 KJV Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from
Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men.
Daniel 10:5 KJV Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz:
Uphaz is another gold which is Ophir by definition but yet another clue as to the dynamic of the symbiotic relationship between Ophir and the land of Adam and Eve, Havilah.
UPHAZ: Hebrew: זפוא: ‘Uwphaz: Fine Gold, gold of Phasis or Pison. Perhaps a corruption, Probably another name for ריפוֹא: ‘Owphiyr: Ophir. [49]
Uphaz is the fine gold of the Pison River. As we already proved out, this river surrounds the land of Adam and Eve named Havilah after Havah’s or Eve’s curse of childbirth. It is not a corruption as this word is perfect and it is not probably but definitely the same as Ophir as the two are the same word with different endings because Uphaz is the gold of Ophir which is Havilah surrounded by the Pison River. This is the Genesis 2 gold Adam used in the first sacrifice of atonement when exiled from the Garden. It is precious to Yahuah and this is why Solomon knew to fetch it for the Temple project from this primordial estate. A deeper look at this Hebrew word reveals even more. Somehow translators who render Hebrew words really made a huge error with both Uphaz and Ophir and it is not one any Hebrew scholar could mistake. Uphaz does not start with an “U” and Ophir does not begin with an “O.” These are very poor renderings as everyone knows that the Hebrew letter Aleph is always an “A” never “U” nor “O.” Then, the second letter is the Hebrew WAW or “U” or “W.” It’s an “U.” Ophir and Uphaz are the original land of the gold of Creation and Havilah. We are told the Chemical Symbol for gold, which is AU, originates in Latin but we showed you Josephus says that is the Latin name for Ophir. Ophir and Uphaz begin with AU because they are the complete origin of that emblem as the land of gold.
זפוא: Uphaz: A U P A Z [49] ריפוא: Ophir: A U P I R [6]
The difference between these two words is Uphaz has a Z on the end which in Ancient Hebrew Pictograph form is represented by a pickaxe used to mine gold of course. Literally, PAZ is a Hebrew word for gold and AU is the Chemical Symbol for gold. That is no coincidence. It is a name for the gold of Ophir. They are otherwise the same first three letters. When we look deeper into the Pictographs for these letters, we render the following ancient meanings embedded into these very ancient words (our interpretation):
AUPAZ: Inhabiting & Mining Gold At the Ends of the Earth Where Elohim Is AUPYR: The Beginning, First Man Exiled to Inhabit & Till the Ground & Worship Elohim At the Ends of the Earth
The ancients knew where this Land of Eve survived as they knew where the Garden and the Land of Creation existed whether they were able to get there or not. These were not mysteries and they certainly knew it was East of Iran. Both Parvaim and Uphaz serve to deepen our position that the Philippines is Ophir and they begin to unveil the similarities in geography between Ophir, Havilah, Land of Creation and Garden of Eden. Some will ask, why do all these things have to be in the Philippines? They do not have to and frankly, it would not matter to us if the Garden was in Africa or elsewhere. We would be happy to locate it regardless. However, the evidence leads where it leads. There must be more to Ophir than just possessing gold or Solomon’s journey makes no sense. When the Bible defines a land of gold since Genesis 2, what would make us think that man is even capable of depleting it’s resource? After all, these thousands of years, we have not and it still remains number 2 in untapped gold reserves on the planet. [11][12]
