Moses was up against mysteries, which he wanted to explore.
He searched out a man endued with knowledge.
Derived from the divine springs from which flow the paradoxes of life.
He is shown three such paradoxes and how human impatience is inconsistent with their true understanding.
The highest knowledge comes not expect by divine gifts, a constant, patient striving, with faith to apprehend something
of the purpose of the All wise.

The figure Moses was searching form is a man that goes by the name of Khidir ( literal meaning is, Green)
Moses searches for him at a location he calls the Junction of the two seas
(The most probably geographical location is where the two arms of the Red Sea join together, viz, the Gulf of 'Aqabah and the Gulf of Suez.
They enclose the Sinai Peninsula)

Moses and his attendants head to the literal Junction the space where the two seas unite, and they come across a man by the name of Khidir
He is a mysterious being, who had to be sought out. He has the secrets of the paradoxes of life, which ordinary people don't understand, or understand in a wrong sense.
The nearest equivalent Figure in the literature of the People of the Book is Melchizedek or Melchisedek (The Greek form in the New Testament).
In the Quran (Surah 18 Al Kahf 18:60-82, "Section 9") he's true name is not know but he is known as Khidir meaning "Green" becouse his knowledge is fresh and green.
In Genesis XiV 18-20, he appears as king of Salem, priest of the most high God: He blesses Abraham, and Abraham gives him tithes. St. Paul allegorises him in
is Epistle to the Hebrew (v. 6-10; vii, 1-10) "he was without father, without mother, without decent, having neither beginning of days nor end of life" That is to say, he appeared mysteriously; neither his parentage nor pedigree is known, and he seems to live for all time.

Search this man out.

Is it just me, or do your posts always leave me wondering what it is you are trying to say. You say so much, but.....say nothing about what you are saying. Is this post pointing to a biblical figure, attempting to recruit us to the church, or is it pointing to a wise old alien, or something. Please forgive my inability to understand, but...um...I don't understand what you are getting at.
It is like you are making a statement that requires no real answer, or response. On the other hand, I may be just unable to understand?

hmmm i think that 2.what is your point m8?

I think I understand perfectly what he is trying to do, but I won't answer the question for him.

Thanks for the post, really intriguing.

Smart man dundee, I guess it does seem that way.
But I'm pointing at the fact that this man is mentioned so many times within the religion of the books
Important as he maybe nothing is known of him.
Yet if you decide to read more about him you find that he has some strange insight in this world
his "Devine knowledge if you will" it's not an attempt to recruit anyone to a particular belief
1) Abrahams encounter with the man is thought to have occurred around 2000 BC-1700 BC
2) Moses encounter is thought to have occurred around the 1400 BC

Answers don't matter in this respect
becouse I've come to my conclusions
and unless they are definitive answers...which is never the case with us
because nothing is known for certain unless it has been experienced first hand.

So I'm just asking for your thoughts, because they are uniquely yours.
Not what you know, because anything you know I can know and vice versa.
