A new article on the main site of Ultimate Riddles explains your Spiritual Life History in the Three Earth Ages. The article provides an outline of eons of history taken from a Bible study perspective for a snapshot of your past, present, and future.

The Ultimate Riddles website is one person's spiritual journey of Bible study for others to follow as they draw their own conclusions. Is Hell a physical place where sinners are tormented eternally? I don't believe it as shown in event 16.a of the article outline. This, and other answers, will take years to document, so be patient.

Famous theologians disagree on the definition of some truths such as "Where are the dead?" as just one example.

As it is written, the spirit of those humans who have died, and those presently alive who die before the millenium, instantly returns to heaven as stated in Ecclesiastes 12:7 referring to death.

Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. Ecclesiastes 12:7 (KJV)

Heaven is divided by a space separating those saved from those who did not believe that it was necessary to establish a personal relationship with God. For the living, our purpose is having that relationship while we continue to grow spiritually through Bible study and understanding God's expectations.

This latest article about spiritual existence in the three earth ages provides a simple outline of eternal history for Christian believers and those interested in learning more about Jesus Christ and spirituality.

The next article from our Bible study of the book of Genesis was released earlier, and explores the relationships from Abraham to the 12 patriarchs including the 14 generations from Abraham to King David. Intermarriage between the families of brothers Abraham, Nahor, and Haran is examined including the significance in future Bible history.

One aspect of this study is family bitterness over the second born sons of Abraham and Isaac having preeminence over their older siblings, Ishmael and Esau, and the impact to look for in later studies of the Old Testament.

Finally, the 12 patriarchal male children of Jacob by his two wives and their two handmaids is documented showing the 12 names, plus one sister, by birth mother. To help put this period of ancient Bible history in perspective, mention of the paternal line of Moses as descended from Jacob is included, also.

This completes the first pass through Genesis in my personal spiritual journey, and we will begin exploring Exodus next. Readers are encouraged to read Genesis and the entire Bible from cover to cover, and then form their spiritual and personal theology as the Holy Spirit guides them.

More than 10 divine names for God are used in the Old Testament, yet most are translated as God, Almighty, or Lord. For the benefit of my readers, a new article was added to the main site earlier, and lists the divine names for God in Hebrew with a guide to pronounce each, plus English definitions.

You may read the full article about the Divine Names for God in Hebrew on the Ultimate Riddles main site.

In addition to the list, some free electronic Bibles and study resources are referenced with advice for taking English translations of the Bible back to the original languages of Hebrew in the Old Testament, and Greek in the New Testament.

Finally, some students may be overwhelmed by differing opinions and the traditions of man relating to divine names. Speaking of Jesus, some people will say that Yeshuah, Jesus in Hebrew, is the only appropriate pronunciation of the Lord's name regardless of your native language. Others think it's wrong to speak the sacred name Jehovah out loud. Read the article. You decide.
