Bigfoot: Descendant of Ishmael or Esau?

[Des]

Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Yeti, Yowie. Whatever you want to call him, one thing is certain. He is as real as Balaam's talking ass.



Evilutionary scientists such as Jane Nogoodatall would have us believe Bigfoot is some as yet undiscovered species of hominid and use it to try and disprove the Bible.

Unfortunately for sickular science, God in His Infinite Wisdom foresaw their demonic ploy and made sure to mention His role in Bigfoot's creation.

The only question scientists should be asking about Bigfoot is which Biblical figure is he descended from.

Genesis 25:25 And the first came out red, all ouer like an hairy garment: and they called his name, Esau.

See also Genesis 27 which deals more with Esau's hirsute nature.

Or does Bigfoot come from the line of Ishmael?

Genesis 16:12 And he will be a wilde man; his hand will be against euery man, and euery mans hand against him: & he shal dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

Genesis 21:20 And God was with the lad, and he grew, and dwelt in the wildernesse, and became an archer.

As you can see, either one would be a likely candidate as an ancestor of Bigfoot. It is even possible that the children of Esau met and mated with the children of Ishmael, so both could be Patriarchs in the Bigfoot line.

Why do sickular scientists reject the wisdom of the Bible and continue to overlook the obvious when it is right in front of them?

Re: Bigfoot: Descendant of Ishmael or Esau?

It don't think it could be Esau, because God sent dragons to kill all of his descendants and steal their land:

I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness. Malachi 1:2

Of course, sometimes when God wipes out an entire race of people, He might leave one or two survivors to serve as an example for others.

So it must have been Ishmael. Which makes Bigfoot an Arab (think about it--Arabs tend toward the hairy side, and that's not even counting their men). Which means he's probably a terrorist who came to America illegally (which explains why he's hiding). I say we round up a Sin Posse and take this Bigfoot character out before he strikes. Heck, his name probably isn't even Bigfoot. More like Bigfatah.

Have we considered Big Foot could be a descendant of the Nephilim? As a Christian, I am obsessed with and try to insert them everywhere.

Possibly a union of children of Ishmael and the Nephilim, though how they could have looked upon camel jockey daughters and found them fair is a mystery.

I thought the Yeti descended from Nephilim. Isn't that why they call it Nepal? Anyway, I'm not so worried about the Yeti. At least he's white.

I'm sure you won't even be able to call him 'bigfoot', anymore. It's racist.

You are most likely correct, Brother. The lieberals will have us calling him follically gifted hygenically challenged hyperfoot-abled man.

Re: Bigfoot: Descendant of Ishmael or Esau?

Brethren,

As True Christians™ we are always open and unbiased to alternative hypotheses and examine carefully all possible explanations that fall within the precious circle of Biblical Facts. That is why I have here one more potential pedigree for both the bigfoot and the yeti.

Bestiality.

In my opinion it is quite reasonable to assume that these mongrels be the result of abominable fornication between man and beast. It took place in the ancient world as explained to us in the Bible.

Leviticus 18:23 - Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it [is] confusion.
Exodus 22:19 - Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.
Leviticus 20:15-16 - And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast.


Now, what if the culprits escaped the rightful punishment and the hybrid was born. Would it not express the characteristics of both kinds?

I know, the Bible tells tells also this:

Genesis 1:12
And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.


'Seed after their kind'. This obviously means that there are meant to be no hybrids between Created kinds. But what if Satan was devious enough - and he is - to invent a method to go around this obstacle. Then we would expect to see exactly the kinds of hybrids that the bigfoot represents. Of course, it is probable that Esau or his offspring were responsible for this.

Just another hypothesis to ponder.


Yours in Christ,

Elmer

Re: Bigfoot: Descendant of Ishmael or Esau?

I believe that these ape-men who are so often reported are nothing more than chimpanzee monkeys who have escaped from medical research facilities. There are many reported in my city, though the local research center denies any of it's inmates have escaped. Curiously, the large hairy ape-men in these parts are usually seen near to the research center.

I have drawn no absolute conclusions, but I am suspicious of these research centers. There is no telling what they are up to.

Re: Bigfoot: Descendant of Ishmael or Esau?

My personally opinion is look were Big Foot occurs - the gay friendly left coast. Clearly Big Foot are nothing more than Homo-Bear power tops who rape the hippies to spread AIDs and gay anal demons among them.

It is a pretty horrible thought that you could wake up one night while camping to find yourself being violated by some hairy man beast. It's pretty hard to believe anyone could resist such a creature and judging by their foot size these beasts tallywackers must be enormous. Praises Jesus, He protects me from such a fate!

Amen, brother. Look what happened to this unsaved trash.

Re: Bigfoot: Descendant of Ishmael or Esau?

I'm convinced that it was Esau. Most folks don't realize that Bigfoot is a damned joo. It just so happens that I wrote a research paper on this subject back in Seminary. Here's some of my paper:

---------

Although (fraternal) twins, Jacob and Esau were very different in appearance and personality i.e. Esau was a "hairy man" while Jacob was a "smooth man" (Genesis 27:11 KJV). They were also each a favorite of one parent, a sure formula for trouble.

"And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents. -And Isaac, his father...loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah, their mother loved Jacob." (Genesis 25:27-28)

Then came the day that Esau foolishly sold his birthright to Jacob for that now-infamous pottage:

"And Jacob sod pottage (grew vegetables/lentils for a creamy stew): and Esau came from the field and he was faint: And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.

And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright. And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me? And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob. Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright." (Genesis 25:29-34 KJV)

By means of a deceptive scheme set up by Rebekah, Jacob next managed to get Esau's blessing from the nearly-blind Isaac, then completing the transfer of the rights of the firstborn from Esau to Jacob (Genesis 27:1-40). Esau's response was a plan to kill Jacob, which was prevented when Rebekah heard of it and sent Jacob away to live with her brother Laban. (see Jacob and Laban).

Esau's family tensions continued with his marriages:

"And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father; Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife." (Genesis 28:8-9 KJV)

The reconciliation between Jacob and Esau occurred 30 years later upon Jacob's return to the land that God intended for Israel and his descendants (Genesis chapters 33 and 34). About 20 years later, when their father Isaac died, the two brothers buried him in Hebron. That may have been the last that Jacob and Esau ever saw of each other.

"And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him" (Genesis 35:29 KJV)

Esau then left the God-commanded land of Israel and established himself as a powerful nation in the land of Edom (Genesis 36:1-43).

Was Esau the father of the Edomites? (Genesis 36:43)

The Edomite people, dwellers of the land of Edom located between the Red Sea and the Dead Sea are known from history to have been a Semitic-speaking tribal group inhabiting the Negev Desert and the Aravah valley of what is now southern Israel and Jordan. (Semitic: A group of languages belonging to the Afro-Asiatic family and spoken in North Africa and southwestern Asia. It includes Hebrew, Arabic, Aramaic, Maltese and Amharic.)

According to Genesis, Esau's descendents were said to have settled in this land after displacing the Horites. The reddish sandstone of the region may be an alternative explanation for the nation's name to that found in Genesis.

The Edomites may have been connected with the Shasu and Shutu, nomadic raiders mentioned in Egyptian sources. Indeed, a letter from an Egyptian scribe at a border fortress in the Wadi Tumilat during the reign of Merneptah reports movement of nomadic "shasu-tribes of Edom" to watering holes in Egyptian territory. (Redford, Egypt, Canaan and Israel in Ancient Times, Princeton Univ. Press, 1992. p.228, 318.)

The Jewish Text reads in part:
"Contrary to the promise of Isaac that Esau's dwelling would be of the fatness of the earth and of the dew of heaven (Gen. xxvii. 39), Edom was a rocky and calcareous country. Esau is described as a man who subsisted by hunting (Gen. xxv. 27 et passim), as his descendants, the Edomites, did, living amid rocky fastnesses and mountain heights (Jer. xlix. 16; Obad. 3, 4). The name "Mount Seir" or "Mount of Esau" shows that Edom was a mountainous country and therefore it was called by later writers "Gebalene" (the mountainous)."

The mention of the Edomites being Esau's decendents, assures us that the line of hairy people continued, to what degree, we don't know.

From the Jewish Text:

Rulers of Edom
According to the Bible, immediately after Isaac's death Esau settled in Mount Seir (Gen. xxxvi. 6, 8), where he had lived before (Gen. xxxii. 3). The Edomites soon became powerful enough to extirpate the Horites, the former inhabitants of the country (Dent. ii. 12), whose ways of life they adopted. As among the Horites, each tribe was ruled by a prince or chief whose position resembled probably that of an Arab sheik (Gen. xxxvi. 15-19, 29-30). Later the Edomites organized themselvesinto a kingdom, and had had eight kings when the first king in Israel began his reign (ib. xxxvi. 31-39). However, a list of chiefs given after that of the kings (ib. xxxvi. 40-43) shows that subordinate chiefs ruled under the sovereignty of the king. In the time of Moses both chiefs and king are mentioned (Ex. xv. 15; Num. xx. 14). When the King of Edom refused to allow the children of Israel to pass through his land on their way to the land of Canaan the Israelites were expressly ordered not to wage war upon the Edomites, but to go round their country (Num. xx. 14-21; Deut. ii. 4-6). Neither did the King of Edom attempt hostilities against the Israelites, though he prepared to resist aggression.

Nothing further is heard of the Edomites until their defeat by Saul four hundred years later (I Sam. xiv. 47); forty years later David overthrew the Edomites in the "valley of salt," and his general Joab slew all their males (II Sam. viii. 13, 14; I Kings xi. 15, 16).

In the time of Nebuchadnezzar the Edomites took an active part in the plunder of Jerusalem and in the slaughter of the Jews (Ps. cxxxvii. 7; Obad. 11, 13, 14). It is on account of these cruelties that Edom was so violently denounced by the Prophets (Isa. xxxiv. 5-8; Jer. xlix. 7-22; Obad. passim).

Use of Name.

The name "Edom" is used by the Talmudists for the Roman empire and they applied to Rome every passage of the Bible referring to Edom or to Esau.

In Leviticus Rabbah (xiii.) Rome, under the name of "Edom," is compared to a boar, and the symbolic name "Seir" was used by the poets of the Middle Ages not only for Rome (comp. Ecclus. 1. 26, Hebr.), but also for Christianity (Zunz, "Literaturgesch." p. 620).

On this account the word "Edom" was often expunged by the censor and another name substituted (Popper, "Censorship of Hebrew Books," p. 58).

In place of "Edom," the word "Ḥazir" (swine) was occasionally used, perhaps as a mere term of reproach (but see Epstein, "Beiträge zur Jüd. Alterthumskunde," p. 35). In Midrash Tanḥuma Bereshit, Hadrian is called "the King of Edom."

The Talmudists, however, made an exception in favor of Antoninus Pius, whom they assured would attain paradise, because he had not acted in the manner of Esau ('Ab. Zarah 10b).

Abodah Zarah 10a, however, explaining Obadiah, verse 2, says that Edom had neither written nor spoken language. This is inconsistent with its application to Rome.

The name "Teman" is originally the name of a tribe and then of a district of the Edomites.

In Biblical genealogy it is the name of the eldest son of Eliphaz, the first-born of Esau, and one of the "dukes" of Edom (Gen. xxxvi. 11, 15, 42; I Chron. i. 36, 53).

The genealogy here noted proves that Teman was one of the most important of the Edomite tribes, and this is confirmed by the fact that "Teman" is used as a synonym for Edom itself (Amos i. 12; Obad. 9; comp. Jer. xlix. 20, 22; Hab. iii. 3).

The Temanites were famed for their wisdom (Jer. xlix. 7; Baruch iii. 22); Eliphaz, the oldest and wisest of the friends of Job, is described as a member of this tribe (Job ii. 11 et passim).

Teman is referred to in Obad. 9 as a part of the mount of Esau, while Amos i. 12 mentions it in connection with the Edomitic "palaces of Bozrah"; Ezek. xxv. 13 speaks of it in contrast to the southern boundary Dedan.

Eliphaz is Esau's first born son:

Meaning: God his strength

One of Job's "three friends" who visited him in his affliction (4:1). He was a "Temanite", i.e., a native of Teman, in Idumea. He first enters into debate with Job.
Eliphaz's language is uniformly more delicate and gentle than that of the other two, although he imputes to Job special sins as the cause of his present sufferings.

A son of Esau by his wife Adah, and father of several Edomitish tribes (Gen. 36:4, 10, 11, 16).

The lineage of Esau, the hairy man and his children has always been there.

Let's not jump to conclusions before we've evaluated all the possible explanations fairly and reasonably. Personally, I reckon this unfortunate creature was most likely created by Barack Obama fornicating with a dog.
