Missing Pieces of the Bible: Lost Books Fill-in the Blanks Updated Version

By Dawn Wessel

Why did God take man from what appeared to be a veritable garden itself and put him in another garden? Where did Eve come from? Why did so many ancient cultures all build similar temples to their gods? Who were the sons of God that copulated with human women in ancient times and produced the giants? Was Noah none other than Enoch in a different age? Was John the Baptist really Elijah and how can we know? What was the vehicle that transported Elijah to the other realm? Who were the three wise men that visited the baby Jesus and what was the significance of their gifts to him? What was the star that led the wise men to Jesus? The answers generate more questions.

A note:

This is the third and final revision of this book but by no means do I consider it finished. Inspired writings are like a huge puzzle. You can think you have found the right piece (verse) and make your assumptions based on that but then discover another verse that puts a completely new slant on things.

The Original and subsequent Revised Edition paved the way for this final updated version. There are not a lot of huge changes in this book from the Revised Edition but they are striking ones as I was able to conclude many issues that I brought up in the first books.

Quotes are from the New King James (NKJV) primarily but in some cases, I used the Authorized Version (KJV).

Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance is the reference I used to establish the meanings of the Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek words.

Please use caution when searching any online site that I quote from, even though I personally had no problems with any of them.

Prologue

Prologue

For me the Bible is a strange and wonderful book. It’s wonderful in its principled ideals that inspire and comfort. Yet like a coin it has another side that is just as wonderful in its strangeness. As note-worthy but often unacknowledged in church circles is this other aspect. Unusual things pop up that seem out of synchronicity with the rest and I myself did not really see it for the longest time. It was as if when I read the words I was in some ways like a blind person, only seeing things I expected to and entirely missing this other facet. And I was someone that was really into the Bible; I read and studied it daily and yet still missed what was right before me. Then one day I started to see it and I had to relearn the Bible all over again in a different way.

During that time this other aspect became greatly enhanced for me. I combed through page after page with such intensity that four hours would go by yet it seemed to me as if only minutes had passed. For years I spent every minute I could that way. It was as if my spirit had been starving and was for the first time getting real food and I ate voraciously. And without this other component I don’t believe the Bible can lift us to the heights it was meant to.

The topic of "heavenly beings that marry women of earth was always intriguing to me. I had often pondered what it could mean but as there did not appear to be any more information in the Bible I reluctantly had to drop the subject. As I discovered the lost books however I quickly took up the matter again. The few words in Genesis Chapter Six now demanded and got my full attention: the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. How was it possible that sons of God (angels)" who are otherworldly beings without physical substance, could marry human women (daughters of men)? The passage gets even more interesting: "There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare (bear) children to them. Once again I had to ask myself, how did non-physical entities procreate with human women? And who or what were the giant spawn they created? Were they gruesome forms with bulging eyes and fangs and claws that slashed and devoured human flesh? Or were they regal gentle giants that helped humankind (the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown")? 

I wanted to know who they were and what happened to them but their saga seemed to end there. Were they friend or foe? Did they die of natural causes or were they destroyed by some other means? Other tales of giants exist in the Bible: the most popular is of David who as a mere boy took the giants’ own sword and cut off Goliath’s head. References to other giants is also in David’s gripping story but seemed unrelated to the Genesis account.

Other oddities are named besides that of the giants, referred to in the last book of the Bible in the New Testament. The Book of Revelation tells of an eerie army of what appears to be people that have faces of men and hair like women with teeth of lions. The description calls them locusts and scorpions. With their tails they leave a trail of destruction and death as they continue undaunted to their destination. What kinds of beasts are they and where did they come from?

Another topic that one does not expect to find in the Bible is that of different dimensions in space time, or to say it another way, alternate realities. A hidden ladder is said to exist via which entities from heaven visit earth. It’s not as strange as it might sound as many of us believe there is a Heaven. And what if that other dimension is much larger and more complex than we could ever imagine?

The story of Elijah is intriguing as it tells of how he was snatched from earth by a whirling chariot of fire and taken to heaven, only later to be returned in an entirely different generation. Predating Elijah’s story and just as outlandish is that of an animal of some kind that got caught in that same place by what might be described as something like a distortion in space time. Conceivably it may have been a time dilation field, a bubble (time within moves so slowly as to be hardly measurable yet the people within the field feel as though they’re moving in regular time). Whatever happened and however it works this creature of earth remained happily in that beyond belief place the Bible calls Paradise. This same animal was later returned to the earth (in two alternate times) and had changed considerably from its first state. His story is so remarkable it’s hard to believe.

The subject of the 666 mythos (Book of Revelation) captures the imagination as we wonder who the beast-man is that is associated with it. His powers of persuasion appear limitless. What especially is the mark of the beast without which no one can buy or sell in the end times? Most unexpected and just one of the many surprises I discovered is there is another mark. And that is by no means the end of it as there are many other discoveries that will change how we view Bible writings.

Many years ago when I first attempted to answer some of these questions from the Bible alone I hit a dead end. As with the story of the giants where the information finished abruptly the other topics I mention here ended somewhat the same way. The details that might otherwise explain those mysteries seemed to be missing from the Bible itself. It was frustrating as I had what for me was an intricate puzzle of which vital pieces were gone. It was a dilemma but believing the inimitable author would not have left incomplete information I searched the Internet.

Shortly afterwards I came across the Book of Enoch and instantly saw the many similarities to the Bible. I knew (with a great deal of excitement) that I had found the missing information I was looking for. Later as I further found other books (the Books of Adam & Eve/Eden, Odes of Solomon and more) the realization hit me that I was looking at comparable material to the Bible.

Why had I never heard of these amazing books? As I thought on it I recalled one of the few fleeting conversations about them I had during the many years I had spent in Evangelical circles. I was told by an authority in that setting that those books were flawed and unrelated to the Bible. As he was the specialist in that setting, it was dropped. Possibly I would not have appreciated the lost books at the time anyway. I think Catholics hold a different view of these Pseudepigrapha books but for a large part mainline Christians are taught to reject them. That is the reason why I call them lost books as they have been largely discredited in Christian circles. I however was thrilled to discover their true nature. Certainly the ones I mention here deserve to sit alongside the Bible as they not only repeat material from it but fill in missing information.

To get the all-important result I strive for here (as in all of my books), is allowing the words to speak for themselves. As you will see these writings have a personality all its own and take us far from previous ideas. The biggest part of that is the copious amount of duplication in the Bible. It’s not noticed in Bible-related circles or if it is, is not given much credence. Turns out there are good reasons for it as it’s the main ingredient for proper interpretation. When I started matching repeating data it worked like a puzzle whereby joining corresponding pieces (verses – gets a bit tricky when synonyms are used) led to the next piece. Having learned of this interconnectedness and using this process consistently I was astounded to discover a most startling characteristic – the words formed to me what I can only describe as something like a multi-faceted (3D) picture.

If you are unfamiliar with the Bible, or even if you are familiar with it, I believe you will find it’s far more diverse than you might have imagined it could be. Yet without its sister Pseudepigrapha books to further illuminate the meanings we could not get the whole picture. It is nothing short of a tragedy that these remarkable books were put in a bad light as being identical to the Bible are also inspired. Without them the Bible is incomplete as
