There is a wonderful book out “The scroll of mysteries, The Cochin Hebrew Revelation ” by Janice F. Baca.
It contains The book of Revelation

Very funny, you close before discussing the Brit Chadashah. It is our understanding that some of the Cochin collection was translated from Dutch or Greek, to fill in where there wasn’t an original 1st Century Ivrit text in place.

I’m glad you brought up the subject of Ophir, that it was on the west coast of India. It is actually in Goa, in a place called Goa Velha that has a deep natural harbor and is in a straight line from Eilat where Solomon had his trading ships come in.
There were a lot of Jews trading in Goa and there is still a street called the ‘Street of the Jews’ (Rua de Juden) in old Goa.

Fascinating! I was raised Catholic in the 1960s. In our church culture and community “Christian” meant protestant. We were Catholic, not Christian. We did not associate with those people. Sad.
