THE ORIGIN OF THE TERM SHALOM, SALAAM, (PEACE) PHOTO: DESIGNED BY YOURS TRULY, Maurice Chandler Shachar & Shalim Gods/Godesses Index Canaanite Mythology: Shachar is the Canaanite dawn god. He is the twin brother of Shalim. Shachar and Shalim are one of the first pairs of gracious gods. Their father is (((EL))) and their mother Athirat or her female companion. In Isaiah 14:12, Shachar is the father of Helel or Lucifer. Source: Canaanite FAQ Related Articles Turning from the Law - Jewish History and Heritage Most know that the Hebrew word shalom is understood around the world to mean peace. However, peace is only one small part of the meaning. Shalom is used to both greet people and to bid them farewell, and it means much more than peace, hello or goodbye.... Hebrew words go beyond their spoken pronunciation. Each Hebrew word conveys feeling, intent and emotion. Shalom is more then just simply peace; it is a complete peace. It is a feeling of contentment, completeness, wholeness, well being and harmony. According to Strongs Concordance 7965 Shalom means completeness, wholeness, health, peace, welfare, safety soundness, tranquility, prosperity, perfectness, fullness, rest, harmony, the absence of agitation or discord. Shalom comes from the root verb shalom meaning to be complete, perfect and full. In modern Hebrew the obviously related word Shelem means to pay for, and Shulam means to be fully paid.therefinersfire.org/meaning_of_shalom.htm Shalim: The Lost God of Peace by Logan Rees Shalim was the god of dusk, twin brother of Shahar, the god of dawn, both attributed to the planet Venus, the morning and evening star (seems they hadn’t yet discovered that these were the same celestial body). Since Shalim represented the completion of the day, his name become synonymous with completion, wholeness, rest, and of course peace. This also associated him with death and the netherworld, giving us a glimpse into the attitude the Canaanites had regarding death: a peaceful completion of life. Tragically the entire Canaanite religion was all but lost to history, only partially preserved in the clay tablets found at Ugarit, but its gods are preserved in the Semitic languages still used today. Shalim’s legacy, however, lives on in another still relevant context today. Jerusalem, the ancient holy city of three of the world’s most followed religions, and the center of global controversy, is widely believed to have been originally established as a city for Shalim. The name of the city, when analyzed from a Semitic standpoint, is literally translated as ‘the settlement of Shalim.’ It is known through Egyptian records, and even in Genesis, that Canaanites inhabited the city before it was conquered by the Israelites, so this is almost undoubtedly the case. Unfortunately for Shalim, his city has not known his peace for quite some time, but followers of the Abrahamic religions might do well to realize that their holy city was established as the foundation of peace for their ancestors. duckrabbits.wordpress/2013/05/29/shalim-the-lost-god-of-peace/ [DAWN ](from an Old English verb dagian to become day) is the time that marks the beginning of the twilight before sunrise. It is recognized by the presence of weak sunlight, while the Sun itself is still below the horizon. Dawn should not be confused with sunrise, which is the moment when the leading edge of the Sun itself appears above the horizon. During dawn (and dusk) it is usually possible (provided that the sky is cloud-free) to see approximately in which direction the Sun lies, though it is below the horizon. [DUSK] is the darkest stage of twilight in the evening. During early to intermediate stages of twilight, there may be enough light in the sky under clear-sky conditions to read outdoors without artificial illumination. Civil dusk occurs when the earth rotates to a point at which the center of the sun is at 6° below the local horizon. This marks the end of the evening civil twilight, the point where artificial illumination is required to read outside.[2] Twilight comes after sunset, which is the point at which the earth has rotated just enough that the sun is no longer visible on the local horizon (under clear conditions). [TWILIGHT] (n.) Look up twilight at Dictionary late 14c. (twilighting), a compound of twi- + light (n.) Cognate with Dutch tweelicht (16c.), German zwielicht. Exact connotation of twi- in this word is unclear, but it appears to refer to half light, rather than the fact that twilight occurs twice a day. Cf. also Sanskrit samdhya twilight, literally a holding together, junction, Middle High German zwischerliecht, literally tweenlight. Originally and most commonly in English with reference to evening twilight but occasionally used of morning twilight (a sense first attested mid-15c.). Figurative extension is first recorded c.1600. [ TWI ]- Look up twi- at Dictionary word-forming element meaning two, Old English twi-, prefix meaning two, in two ways, twice, double, from Proto-Germanic *twi- (cf. Old Frisian twi-, Old Norse tvi-, Dutch twee-, Old High German zwi-, German zwei-), from PIE *dwis (cf. Sanskrit dvi-, Greek di-, Old Latin dvi-, Latin bi-, Lithuanian dvi-), from *dwo two (see two). Cognate with bi-. Older instances of it include Middle English twinter two years old (c.1400, of cattle, sheep, etc.), reduced from Old English twi-wintre, and Old English twispræc double or deceitful speech.etymonline/index.php?term=twi-&allowed_in_frame=0 TWI =TWO Like words Twix, Twizzlers, Twist,Twenty = Two -Tens, Twerking = Shaking Two cheeks, LOL.
