Sunless Tanning $79.66 Sunless tanning (also known as self tanning, fake tanning, or UVfree tanning) refers to applying chemicals to the body to produce an effect similar in appearance to a more traditional suntan. Sunless tanning arose in response to links between sun exposure and skin cancer discovered in the 1960s, along with other alternatives to natural sun tanning such as the use of a sunbed or tanning bed.The most effective products available are sunless tanning or self tanning lotions and sprays that contain dihydroxyacetone (DHA) as the active ingredient. The tan is not a dye, stain or paint, but a chemical reaction between the DHA and the amino acids in the dead layer on the skin surface. citation needed] This is similar to a reaction well known to food chemists called the Maillard reaction.

Tanning Addiction $79.66 Tanning addiction is a rare syndrome where an individual appears to have a physical and/or psychological addiction to sunbathing or the use of tanning beds. The mechanism of the addiction is unknown at this time.In 2005, a group of dermatologists published a study showing that frequent tanners experience a loss of control over their tanning schedule, displaying a pattern of addiction similar to smokers and alcoholics.Biochemical evidence indicates that tanning addicts are addicted to an opioid release experienced during tanning. When frequent tanners took an endorphin blocker in a 2006 study, they experienced severe withdrawal symptoms, while infrequent tanners experienced no withdrawal symptoms under the same conditions.

Tanning Bed $70.1 A tanning bed or sunbed is a device emitting ultraviolet radiation (typically 95 UVA and 5 UVB, +/3) used to produce a cosmetic tan. Regular tanning beds use several fluorescent lamps that have phosphor blends designed to emit UV in a spectrum that is somewhat similar to the sun. Smaller, home tanning beds usually have 12 to 28 100 watt lamps while systems found in salons can run from 24 to 60 lamps, each consuming 100 to 200 watts.There are also high pressure tanning beds that generate primarily UVA with some UVB by using highly specialized quartz lamps, reflector systems and filters. These are much more expensive, thus less commonly used. A tanning booth is quite similar to a tanning bed, but the individual stands while tanning and the typical power output of booths is higher.

"Did Yeshua Give us the name of the anti-christ?" - An Odd YouTube Video

Now for those of you who are regular readers of this blog, you know that I do not dive into matters of theology here. I try my best to simply represent issues as they pop up in scholarship and popular culture, and when an issue such as this (which breaches both theology *and* politics... yeesh...) I proceed...

... hesitantly...

The following clip appeared 3 days ago on YouTube, and since has had over 100,000 views:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXMAnlMmEPw&feature=player_embedded

I originally decided to shy away from this video clip, but when I saw that Salon.com had picked it up through my news feeds (if anything even mentions "Aramaic" on the Internet, I hear about it), I figured it was in the limelight enough to finally comment.

So here is my analysis, theology and politics 100% removed. This is a look into the actual claims of the video. The following transcript is reproduced under Fair Use Doctrine for the purposes of criticism in a manner consistent with current protections and rulings:

Luke 10:18:
And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning falling from the heavens.

"These words are written in Greek and translated to English; however, Jesus spoke these words originally in Aramaic, which is the most ancient form of Hebrew.

As you know, the Old Testament was written in Hebrew. If a modern Jewish Rabbi were to speak these words of Jesus today, he would speak them in Hebrew, much the same way that Jesus would have spoken them."

Mistaken Claim: Aramaic is not the most ancient form of Hebrew. Since Hebrew is a Canaanite language, the most ancient form of Hebrew would be Proto-Canaanite. Jesus spoke Old Galilean Aramaic, which is part of the Aramaic language family. Eventually the Canaanite and Aramaic language families date back to Proto-Semitic, but that is certainly beyond the scope of this claim. The two are very different languages.

"So in Hebrew Jesus said that he saw Satan falling 'as lightning from the heights' or 'from the heavens.'

So what are the words for 'lightning' and 'heights' or 'heavens' in Hebrew?

From the Strong's Hebrew Dictionary word #1299: A primitive root-word meaning 'to lighten' or 'lightning' or 'to cast forth' -- the word is "BARAQ".

In the Strong's Hebrew Dictionary word #1300: 'lightning' or by analogy 'a gleam, a flashing sword, or a brightness or a glittering' -- the Hebrew word is "Baw-Rawk"

So 'lightning' or 'a flash of light' in Hebrew is pronounced "ba-rak" or "baw-rawk"

Correct Claim: Baraq is the word in Hebrew for 'lightning.' In Aramaic, its cognate is also "baraq" or "barqa" depending on dialect and context.

Mistaken Claim: Mr. Obama's first name does not come from the root "baraq" [bet-rish-qof] but the root "barak" [bet-rish-kaf] and is a common Semitic name and means "blessed" or "blessing." To claim that these two words are the same is like saying that "right" and "write" are the same word, as they sound similarly but both come from very different etymology.

Now consider this amazing fact: The Book of Isaiah is the source of the origin of the Christian concept and understanding of Satan or 'Lucifer' as Isaiah calls him in chapter 14, especially in verses 12 - 19.

Mistaken Claim: Isaiah does not call Satan 'Lucifer.' Latin translations of Isaiah use the name 'Lucifer' (which literally means the "morning star" "day star" or the planet Mercury) as a translation of the Hebrew phrase ["hillel ben shakhar" = "morning star, son of dawn"].

In Isaiah chapter 14 verse 14 'Lucifer' or Satan is credited with these words:

"I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High."

In the verses of Isaiah that refer directly to Lucifer, several times it is mentioned that Satan has fallen from 'the heights' or from 'the heavens.'

The Hebrew word used in this text for the 'heights' from which Satan fell is Strong's Hebrew Word 1116, pronounced "Bam-maw."

Bammaw is most commonly used to refer to a 'high, sacred place,' as well as the 'heights' to 'the heavens' or 'the clouds.'

Comment: The actual form of the word used in Isaiah 14:14 is ["bamathe"]. Only in its root form is it pronounced "bah-mah."

Correct Claim: ["bamah"] does mean "high place."

Comment: ["bamah"]'s primary meaning is "shrine." The "High places" mentioned in the King James Version of the Bible describe built-up altars that were used in religious practice throughout Mesopotamia.

Mistaken Claim: ["bamah"] does not mean "the Heavens" or "the clouds."

Comment: "The Heavens" in Hebrew is ["ha-shemayim"] where in Aramaic it is ["shmaya"].

In Hebrew the letter Waw is often transliterated as a "U" some scholars use the "O" of this transliteration. It is primarily used as a conjunction to join concepts together. So, to join in Hebrew poetry the concept of lightning or 'baw-rawq' and the high place or heaven or the heights of heaven, the letter "U" or sometimes "O" the Hebrew letter Waw would be used.

So "Baraq 'O' Bam-maw" or "Baraq 'U' Bam-maw" in Hebrew poetry similar to the style written in Isaiah would translate literally as, "Lightning and the Heights" or "the Heavens" or "Lightning from the Heights" or "the Skies" or "the Heavens."

Correct Claim: Waw is used as a conjunction.

Mistaken Claim: Waw, as a conjunction, is never an "O" sound. In Hebrew, as a conjunction it would be pronounced "veh-" "u-" or in Ancient Hebrew "weh-". In Jesus' dialect of Aramaic, it would be pronunced either "weh-" or "u-" depending on vowel placement.

Mistaken Claim: Waw, as a conjunction never means "from."

Comment: ["baraq we-bamah" or "baraq u-vamah" due to pronunciation rules] would mean "Lightning and Shrine."

The word "Satan" is sah-tan in Hebrew; a direct translation.

Correct Claim: ["'satan"] is the Hebrew and Aramaic word for "Satan."

So back to Jesus' prophesy in Luke chapter 10, verse 18. If spoken by by a Jewish Rabbi today, influenced by the poetry of Isaiah, he would say these words in Hebrew, the words of Jesus in Luke chapter 10, verse 18 as:

"And I saw Satan as Baraq u-Bama."

Mistaken Claim: In light of the previous comments, in Hebrew it would have most likely been [baraq min ha-shamayim]. In Aramaic, it would most likely have been [barqa min shmaya].

Did Jesus reveal to us the name of the Antichrist?

I report, you decide.

Comment: I believe that in light of the languages in question, that it is clear that this entire argument, theology and politics strictly aside, is based upon several, demonstrably faulty premises.

Peace,
-Steve
