Defenses with Meaning

And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations;

2 That these made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.

There's something to be seen here alright and it's not what you're thinking, not at first really. Before we begin, I want to ask you one simple question. Do you know where any of these are really? We've got a bunch of rulers just sitting here fresh laid out for the taking. Let's see, there's

Amraphel

king of Shinar

Arioch

King of Ellasar

Chedorlaomer

King of Elam

Tidal

King of nations

Laid out on one side with

Bera

King of Sodom

Birsha

King of Gomorrah

Shinab

king of Admah

Shemeber

king of Zeboiim

king of Bela, which is Zoar.

Set up on the other. Basically, it's a battle royale for who would've served whom in the end. There's got to be several different sides of the issue, hasn't there? That's where the trickery we'll soon see has come in at again. It sounds to me like there's some rightful rulers or some good guys in there who all got together and came against these other bad guys in the midst but the other bad guys weren't destroyed at all and were left still to fester. So it remained that these had not been removed from the land. Let's see if we can identify where each domain is at then real quick. The King of Shinar region sounds an awful lot like a modern day heaven doesn't it, at least if there's such a thing truly as leader of a domain there or the forces all arrayed under one and it wasn't under God was it back then? Elisar also sounds like a lookout point with one being of rest and the other a lookout point for the best. You know, if Heaven had been divided into different territories and all then allowed to rule as under the Lord. Though if it was by his choice or their doing in rebellion is truly the question then surely. Then comes in Elam and that's a region that sounds very close to actually being the Lamb but it isn't though is it, probably with someone having done deception as in one rebellious cherubim. Then again, it's mixed in with bedlam for certain, which would've been were it not for the Lord's overruling. Then there's king of nations which sounds like it's been ruled over by a tidal one of the forces. You know, how the moon exerts it's pull on the earth making all sorts of waves and eddies and motions. It sounds very much like where we'd get our modern day concept of the Greek god holding a trident which he'd stolen when the sea god before that's kingdom was broken. What's his name, Psoiden I think which isn't too far a cry from Chedorlaomer if guesses were anything near to being correct. At this point it's important to remember we're just figuring meaning in case there was being or legends a person. Though in all that it's important still to remember there's God on his throne just as he's been there all along and not just some Heaven that's been captured then or just merely exiled instead.

Though there's one more guess about who Chedorlaomer would've been in particular. Perhaps you remember in ancient history back in the middle ages or so, there's a king recordered in England by the name of Charlmagne. He was somewhat of a good man as far as rulers go then in general who also would've been known for his conquoring of the legions of men. In fact, with England being mentioned, it should've been seen that the Roman empire ran all the way there in particular. In fact, it's in it's flag or emblem there in the middle that the lion should've stood for conquest for sure. You know, as in the coliseum where the beasts were let out to devour all the people. Then there's the bad guys who're a little easier to pick out then from the first. King of Sodom stood for all this world had to offer with it's riches and wealth and trade of all men. Gomorrah then would've very much similar with one standing for love of whatever beings and the other for the misuse of all things in their midst. Shinab and Shember though perhaps are a bit different story. Shinar sounds very near to Shinar which perhaps should've been home in particular. These then would've been as angels though fallen and now helping still on the side of the men. Whatever region Admah is surely with Zeboim being quite near to the King of the underworld then proper. You know, where these would've come had they tried to return here down below. Basically, it's almost like hell on earth although with fallen angels and generals. Then whatever or whoever the king of Zoar would've been though perhaps very much like unto the garden of God. My goodness, mercy me. There's got to be some way out of it surely. It sounds exciting for sure though as with all things, it waits but a breath from the Lord. Then look where these will soon be.

3 All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.

4 Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.

Can you guess where the vale of Siddim is in particular? That's right, it's more than likely the Red Sea proper as we'd know it today then much later. In fact, it's one of the only salt seas around in the region. That is, unless you'd know of another in general. Back then though, it'd would've been much larger in size and in locations, that is if finding was still good for the person. Archeologists have told though and those that went digging how that there's treasures to be found stored back in those caves. They weren't always so open though with the water more than likely coming in to carve eddies in the rock with it's motions. In fact, for that to have happened, it would've had to have been tidal in general. Only the water come rushing in with enough force would've been sufficient still to carve rocks from it's motions. The only other places in the world known for this in particular is say back in England and also where the northeastern seaboard meets North America. Though it's important to remember that as the world is continually changing, these old domains won't stay long then the same. It's important to consider though all this as mere speculation if words had much meaning and say legends a person.
