Quick summary

• Most famous: King Abijah of Judah (the one who gave the big speech on Mount Zemaraim in 2 Chronicles 13)
• Most tragic: Prince Abijah, son of Jeroboam I (died young as judgment)
• Most surprising: Samuel’s corrupt younger son was also named Abijah

So yes — the name is everywhere in the Bible (at least 11 men + 1 woman), especially in royal and priestly families, because it is a classic “theophoric” name praising Yahweh as father.

Here are the main conspiracy / esoteric theories that claim the Foundation Stone (Arabic: al-Sakhrā, Hebrew: Even ha-Shetiyah) under the Dome of the Rock is far older, more powerful, or cosmically significant than “just” the site of Solomon’s Temple (or the Holy of Holies of the First and Second Temples). They range from fringe-archaeology to full occult/ufology claims.

Theory / Claim	Core Idea	Key Proponents & Sources	Main “Evidence” Cited
1. The Stone = the Bethel Stone of Jacob	The rock is the actual stone on which Jacob slept at Luz/Bethel (Genesis 28:11–18), carried south by King David when he moved the Ark to Jerusalem.	19th-century British-Israelites (Charles Piazzi Smyth), modern Temple-Mount activists, Zev Vilnay’s Legends of Jerusalem (1973)	Jewish tradition calls it Even ha-Shetiyah (“Stone of Foundation/Drinking”); Talmud (Yoma 54b) says the world was created from it — same wording used for Jacob’s stone in some midrashim.
2. Pre-Flood / Adamic Altar	Adam sacrificed here after Eden; Cain & Abel too; Noah rebuilt it after the Flood. It is literally the “foundation stone of the world.”	Masonic writers (Albert Mackey, Manly P. Hall), some Kabbalistic sources (Zohar), YouTube channels like “UnchartedX”	Zohar (Vayeria 119a) and Pirkei de-Rabbi Eliezer say the world was founded from this stone; medieval maps sometimes label it “navel of the world.”
3. Ark of the Covenant Still Hidden Beneath	The real Ark (with the original Ten Commandments tablets, Aaron’s rod, manna) is hidden in a cave directly under the stone, waiting for the Third Temple.	Graham Hancock (The Sign and the Seal variant), Rabbi Yehuda Getz (Western Wall rabbi who dug secretly in 1980s), some Evangelical end-times preachers	1981–82 excavations by Rabbi Getz allegedly found a tunnel leading under the stone; stopped by Muslim authorities after riots. Copper Scroll (Dead Sea Scrolls 3Q15) mentions gold under the Temple.
4. Enoch’s Pillar / Pre-Deluge Knowledge Vault	Enoch (or the Watchers) inscribed cosmic secrets on a pillar of stone or emerald that survived the Flood and is now under the Dome.	19th-century occultists (John Dee legends), Maurice Doreal’s Emerald Tablets followers, some Islamic esoteric groups	Links to the “Tablet of Wisdom” legends; some claim the Foundation Stone is the top of Enoch’s pillar.
5. Black Stone of Mecca Connection / Meteorite Theory	The Foundation Stone and the Black Stone in the Kaaba are fragments of the same ancient meteorite or “stone from heaven” that marked sacred sites.	Some fringe Islamic scholars, Graham Hancock again, modern “ancient astronaut” channels	Both are venerated stones set in silver, both called “right hand of God on earth” in different traditions; meteorite worship in pre-Islamic Arabia.
6. Stargate / Dimensional Portal	The rock is a natural or artificial stargate or energy vortex used by ancient priests (and still active).	David Icke-style conspiracists, some New-Age “ley line” researchers, Israeli mystic Aryeh Kaplan (in Meditation and Kabbalah) hints at it as a cosmic junction	Claims of strange electromagnetic readings, Sufi and Kabbalistic meditations performed there for centuries, “cold spot” temperature anomalies reported inside the cave beneath.
7. Lucifer’s Throne / Fallen Angels Sealed Beneath	The stone seals the abyss/prison of the Watchers (1 Enoch) or is the former throne of Satan before his fall.	Some extreme Christian Identity groups, demonology forums	Based on 1 Enoch 10 (Watchers bound “under the rocks of the ground” until judgment) + Islamic legend that angels found jinn living under the rock before the Temple was built.

Which ones have the most traction today (2025)?

• The Ark-still-under-there theory is the most mainstream among Third-Temple activists and some Evangelical prophecy circles.
• The Jacob’s/Bethel stone version is accepted as legitimate tradition by many Orthodox rabbis.
• The Enoch pillar / pre-Flood vault and stargate versions dominate fringe YouTube and TikTok (hundreds of millions of views combined).

None have archaeological proof (no one has been allowed to excavate under the stone since the Crusades), so all remain speculative/esoteric. The rock itself is a natural limestone outcrop ~1.5 m high inside the Dome, with a cave beneath (the “Well of Souls”) that has been off-limits to non-Muslims since 2000 except on rare occasions.

Aleister Crowley's References to the Osirian Myth as a Root of Abrahamic ReligionsAleister Crowley frequently drew parallels between the Osirian myth (Osiris as the dying-and-rising god, murdered by Set, resurrected by Isis, and avenged by Horus) and Abrahamic figures, particularly Christ as a redeemer archetype. He viewed Egyptian mythology as the primordial source of mystery religions, including Christianity, which he saw as a "corrupted" or "perverted" adaptation of older pagan forms like Osiris worship. This syncretism appears in his Qabalistic tables (e.g., Liber 777), ritual formulas (e.g., IAO in Magick), and commentaries (e.g., The Book of Lies). Crowley didn't claim Osiris was the literal "root" of Judaism or Islam but treated it as an archetypal precursor to their savior figures—Osiris as the original "Son" and redeemer, echoed in Jesus and Muhammad as prophets of an "Aeon of Osiris" (a passive, sacrificial era supplanted by Thelema's Aeon of Horus).Below are the most direct quotes and passages, organized by work, with context. These equate Osiris with Christ (and sometimes Muhammad) as redemptive figures, implying the Osirian cycle underpins Abrahamic soteriology (salvation through death/resurrection).1. The Temple of Solomon the King (1909; collected in The Equinox, Vol. I, No. 3)

• Quote: "If Osiris, Christ, and Mahomet were mad, then indeed is madness the key to the door of the Temple."
• Context: In a discussion of prophetic ecstasy and divine inspiration, Crowley groups Osiris, Jesus, and Muhammad as "mad" visionaries whose revelations unlock spiritual mysteries. This implies a shared Osirian archetype: the sacrificed god-prophet whose "madness" (ecstatic union) redeems humanity, positioning Egyptian myth as the foundational pattern for Abrahamic prophets.

2. Magick in Theory and Practice (Book 4, Part III; 1929), Chapter V: "The Formula of IAO"

• Quote: "This formula [IAO] is the principal and most characteristic formula of Osiris, of the Redemption of Mankind. 'I' is Isis, Nature, ruined by 'A', Apophis the Destroyer, and restored to life by the Redeeming influence of 'O', Osiris."
• Context: Crowley describes the IAO formula (used in Gnostic and Thelemic rituals) as the core of Osirian redemption, directly paralleling Christian atonement: Osiris's death/resurrection mirrors Christ's crucifixion/resurrection. He calls it the "Redemption of Mankind," explicitly linking it to Abrahamic salvation theology while critiquing Christianity as a "decadent" echo of this ancient Egyptian rite.

3. The Book of Lies (Liber CCCXXXIII; 1912), Commentary on Chapter 114 (Nu-Beta)

• Quote: "52 is BN, the number of the Son, Osiris-Apis, the Redeemer, with whom the Master (Fra. P.) identifies himself... Christ! O sublime tragedy and comedy!"
• Context: In Qabalistic numerology (52 = Ben, "Son"), Crowley equates the Tarot's "Son" card with Osiris-Apis (Serapis, the Greco-Egyptian syncretic redeemer god), calling him "the Redeemer" in a tone that mocks yet affirms the parallel to Christ. This positions Osiris as the archetypal "Son of God" whose passion play forms the root of Christian drama.

4. The Book of Lies, Commentary on Chapter 7 (Zeta)

• Quote: "The legend of 'Christ' is only a corruption and perversion of other legends. Especially of Dionysus: compare the account of Christ before Herod/Pilate in the gospels, and of Dionysus before Pentheus in 'The Bacchae'."
• Context: While focusing on Dionysus, this extends to Osiris (whom Crowley often syncretizes with Dionysus as dying gods). He lists seven historical "initiators" (including Moses and Mohammed) as mythical Godheads, implying Abrahamic figures like Christ derive from pagan roots like Osiris—corrupted versions of ecstatic mystery cults.

5. Tannhäuser (1905; dramatic ritual), Act II

• Quote: "“The Blood of Osiris!” was his word: (Meaning the Christ?) “The life, the tears, the tomb! “The Love of Isis is its name!” (I heard this phrase in a dream.)"
• Context: In a visionary dialogue during a magical evocation, a spirit invokes Osiris's blood as a sacramental element, with Crowley's parenthetical note questioning if it "means the Christ." This directly ties Osirian blood sacrifice (resurrection via Isis's love) to Eucharistic Christianity, suggesting the myth is the unspoken prototype.

6. Liber 777 (1909; Qabalistic correspondences table), Columns in Table of Correspondences

• Entry: Under Path 32 (Malkuth to Yesod, the "Path of the High Priestess"): Osiris is corresponded to "Christ, the Son" in the "Attributions of the Paths" section, alongside Egyptian (Osiris slain), Greek (Adonis), and Christian (Jesus crucified) dying-god myths.
• Context: In this exhaustive Qabalistic dictionary, Crowley maps Osiris as the foundational "slain redeemer" archetype, with Christ as its Abrahamic manifestation. He notes: "Osiris: The Suffering God... Christ: The historical fulfilment in the Aeon of Osiris." This frames Egyptian myth as the esoteric root of Christian symbolism, influencing ritual and theology.

Analysis and Crowley's Broader ViewCrowley's citations aren't a systematic treatise but scattered in esoteric works, where he uses Osirian parallels to critique and reclaim Abrahamic elements for Thelema. He saw the "Aeon of Osiris" (c. 0–1904 CE) as Christianity's era—a passive, victim-god phase derived from Egypt's fertility cults—but flawed and superseded by Horus's active individualism. Judaism (via Moses) and Islam (via Muhammad) are similarly "Osirian" in his schema: sacrificial, law-bound echoes of ancient mysteries. No single quote declares "Osiris is the root," but the cumulative effect—equating Osiris with Christ as "Redeemer" and "Son"—substantiates this as his ideology.For full texts, see The Equinox (Weiser Books editions) or hermetic.com. These parallels influenced later occultists but drew fire from Christians for "paganizing" their faith.

The Claim: W.D. Fard Muhammad's Alleged Influence from Lucius Lehman and Black Muslim Nationalists in San QuentinYes, there is a scholarly claim—primarily advanced by historian Patrick D. Bowen and referenced in several works on African American Islam—that W.D. Fard Muhammad (widely believed to be Wallace Dodd Ford, a white-passing man of mixed heritage) was influenced by Black Muslim nationalist ideas circulating in San Quentin State Prison during his incarceration there from 1926 to 1929. The key figure cited is Lucius C. Lehman (also known as "Luco C. Lenaryi" or "Mullah Lucius"), a self-proclaimed Black Muslim "mullah" and Garveyite nationalist who was imprisoned in San Quentin from 1910 to 1924. While there is no direct evidence of plagiarism (e.g., verbatim copying of texts), Bowen and others argue that Fard's Nation of Islam (NOI) teachings show clear conceptual overlaps with Lehman's earlier synthesis of Islam, Black exceptionalism, and anti-colonial rhetoric, likely absorbed through the prison's Black inmate network after Lehman's release.This claim is part of broader discussions on the "Californian roots" of modern African American Islam, positioning Fard not as a divine outsider but as a synthesizer of existing Black radical ideas. Below is a breakdown of the evidence, sources, and nuances.Key Elements of the Claim

• Timeline Overlap and Prison Environment:
  • Lehman (born ~1877, a light-skinned Black man from Louisiana) was a charismatic preacher who converted Black inmates to a unique form of "Moorish-American" Islam blended with Garveyism (Marcus Garvey's UNIA movement). He served as an informal imam, writing letters promoting "Islamic Black nationalism" (e.g., a 1917 letter: "May Allah guide us my prayer"). He was paroled in 1924.
  • Fard (as Wallace Dodd Ford) entered San Quentin in May 1926 on a narcotics conviction, serving ~3 years. By then, Lehman's ideas had permeated the Black prisoner community, creating a subculture of "Islamophilic Black nationalists" (per Bowen). Fard would have encountered this milieu, as prisons facilitated idea-sharing among inmates.
• Conceptual Influences (No Literal Plagiarism):
  • Lehman's teachings emphasized Black people as the "original" humans (echoing NOI's "Yakub" myth and "Black Asiatic" identity), divine judgment on white "devils," and Islam as a tool for racial uplift—motifs central to Fard's NOI lessons (e.g., The Supreme Wisdom).
  • Bowen notes parallels in rhetoric: Lehman's "colored genius" as divine Black superiority mirrors Fard's "Black man as God." However, Fard adapted these into a more structured theology, adding elements like the "Mother Plane" (possibly from Ahmadiyya influences).
  • No documents show Fard directly copying Lehman's writings (Lehman's output was mostly letters and sermons, not published books). Instead, it's framed as ideological borrowing via oral/prison transmission.

Counterarguments and Context

• No Shared Prison Time: Lehman was released ~2 years before Fard arrived, so any influence was indirect (e.g., via ex-inmates or lingering texts). Critics like NOI traditionalists dismiss it as "whitewashing" Fard's divinity.
• Broader Influences on Fard: Scholars (e.g., Karl Evanzz in The Messenger, 1999) emphasize Fard's exposure to Ahmadiyya missionaries, Freemasonry, and Theosophy over prison alone. Lehman is seen as one thread in a tapestry.
• Why This Claim Persists: It humanizes Fard, showing NOI as an organic Black American innovation rather than imported "foreign" Islam. Bowen's work is influential in academic circles but not mainstream NOI lore.

In summary, the claim is valid as "influence" via prison subculture but lacks evidence for outright plagiarism. It's a niche academic theory, not a widely accepted "fact."

Analysis: Is Maurice Doreal's Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean a Commentary or Direct Rip-Off of 1 Enoch?Maurice Doreal (pseudonym of Claude Doggins, 1904–1963), a Denver-based occultist and founder of the Brotherhood of the White Temple, published The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean in the 1930s–1940s. He claimed it was a direct "translation" of ancient Atlantean emerald slabs discovered in the Great Pyramid, narrated by Thoth (the Egyptian god of wisdom, equated with Hermes Trismegistus). The text is a first-person esoteric epic blending Atlantis mythology, Hermeticism, Theosophy, and Rosicrucianism, presented as Thoth's autobiography of cosmic history, immortality secrets, and spiritual warfare.1 Enoch (also Ethiopic Enoch), a composite Jewish pseudepigraphal work dated to 300–100 BCE (with the Book of Watchers, its core section, from ~300–200 BCE), is an apocalyptic vision attributed to the biblical Enoch (Genesis 5:24). It expands Genesis 6:1–4 on the "sons of God" (fallen angels/Watchers) and Enoch's heavenly ascents, influencing early Christianity, Judaism, and later occultism. It's preserved fully in Ge'ez (Ethiopic) and fragments in Aramaic (Qumran/Dead Sea Scrolls).Overall Assessment: Influenced Commentary, Not Direct Rip-OffDoreal's text is not a verbatim rip-off of 1 Enoch—there are no lifted passages, and the narrative voice (Thoth as empowered sage vs. Enoch as humble visionary) differs sharply. However, it functions as a loose, modern esoteric commentary on Enochian motifs, filtered through 20th-century occultism. Doreal draws from the Western esoteric tradition (e.g., Blavatsky's Theosophy, which syncretized Enoch with Hermes/Thoth as archetypes of "ascended masters"). Parallels exist in structure (descent of beings, forbidden knowledge, cosmic visions) and themes (angelic rebellion, judgment), but Doreal "updates" them with Atlantis, reincarnation, and self-deification—transforming Enoch's monotheistic, punitive apocalypticism into optimistic, gnostic self-empowerment.This isn't plagiarism in a literary sense (no side-by-side copying) but ideological borrowing, common in occult revivals. Scholars like Jason Colavito (in The Cult of Alien Gods, 2005) note Doreal's eclectic plagiarism from H.P. Lovecraft and Edgar Cayce, but Enochian echoes stem from shared pseudepigraphal tropes. No ancient "Emerald Tablets" exist; Doreal's is a 20th-century fabrication, possibly inspired by the singular Emerald Tablet (a medieval Hermetic alchemical text, unrelated to Enoch but linked via Hermes).Key Parallels: Shared Motifs and StructuresBoth texts feature visionary ascents, cosmic secrets, and battles between light/divine order and chaotic rebellion. Below is a table of direct parallels, drawn from the Book of Watchers (1 Enoch chs. 1–36, the most relevant section) and Doreal's Tablets (15 poetic "tablets," esp. Tablets 1–3, 6–8, 13–15).

Motif/Element	1 Enoch (Book of Watchers)	Emerald Tablets of Thoth	Parallel Strength
Descent of Supernatural Beings	Watchers (200 angels led by Semjaza) descend from heaven to Earth (Mount Hermon), lust after human women, mate, and beget giants (Nephilim, 3,000 cubits tall) who devour resources and corrupt creation (chs. 6–7).	"Children of Light" (32 divine sons/avatars) descend from higher cycles to incarnate in human form, guiding upliftment; contrasted with "Brothers of Darkness" (rebellious beings from shadows) who descend to enslave souls via dark magic (Tablets 1, 6).	Strong: Both involve "heavenly" beings descending to interact with humanity—benevolent guides vs. corrupters—echoing Genesis 6 but inverted in Doreal (light/dark duality vs. Enoch's uniform angelic fall).
Forbidden Knowledge Taught to Humans	Watchers teach metallurgy (swords, shields), cosmetics/jewelry, enchantments, root-magic, astrology, and divination, breeding godlessness and violence (ch. 8).	Thoth/Dweller teaches "mysteries of Amenti" (vibrations, formulas, ether conquest); warns against "forbidden paths" delving into darkness/dark magic that opens gateways to woe; includes names/formulas to summon aid against night (Tablets 3, 7–8).	Very strong: Direct echo of illicit arts causing corruption; Doreal reframes as "balanced magic" for liberation, not pure sin.
Cosmic Visions and Heavenly Journeys	Enoch ascends via winds/clouds to crystal-walled heavens: sees fiery thrones, cherubim, treasuries of stars/winds, portals for luminaries, seven mountains (prison for transgressing stars), abyssal chaos guarded by angels (chs. 14, 17–21, 24–36).	Thoth's etheric journeys: pierces Earth's crust to Halls of Amenti (underworld/heaven hybrid); ascends to Arulu (heaven-born land), Duat (illusion realm), primeval chaos; sees infinite cycles, ether-filled spaces, barriers/hounds pursuing souls, guarded portals (Tablets 1–2, 5–6, 13).	Strong: Shared visionary topography (fiery/crystal realms, winds/portals, chaotic abysses, imprisoned celestial transgressors); both emphasize ordered cosmos (laws/cycles) vs. chaos.
Imprisonment and Judgment of Rebels	God binds fallen Watchers/Azazel in earth's valleys/abyss (Dudael) for 70 generations; giants' spirits become demons afflicting until final fire-torment; apocalyptic flood/judgment cleanses (chs. 10, 15–16, 21).	"Dark Brothers/Serpent-headed" cast back to shadows by Masters/Word; Hounds of the Barrier imprison souls in mist/time-cycles; judgments in Amenti Halls weigh souls (progress or fade); Atlantis sinks as cosmic "wrath" (Tablets 3, 8, 13–14).	Moderate: Parallel "binding" of rebels (angels vs. dark entities) and eschatological purge (flood vs. Atlantis cataclysm); Doreal adds reincarnation for "growth."
Giants/Monstrous Offspring	Giants (Nephilim) as hybrid horrors devouring mankind/animals, leading to cries to heaven (ch. 7).	Implied in "serpent-headed beings from shadows" ruling via blood-glamour, conquered by light; giants not central, but "devourers" pursue souls beyond barriers (Tablets 3, 13).	Weak: Vague echo in shadowy enslavers; Doreal downplays hybrids, focusing on spiritual "fetters."
Immortality and Elect's Reward	Righteous/elect inherit eternal life, wisdom, abundant earth; souls in bright hollows await judgment/resurrection; tree of life for post-judgment bliss (chs. 1, 10–11, 25, 32).	Immortality via pole-balance/rituals; Masters dwell eternally in Amenti/Arulu; souls ascend cycles to Oneness/Light, tasting "Life to eternity" (Tablets 2, 7, 14–15).	Moderate: Shared "eternal life for enlightened" via divine knowledge; Enoch ties to God's mercy, Doreal to self-mastery.

Where Doreal Changes Enoch's IdeologyDoreal transforms 1 Enoch's stark, God-centric dualism into a syncretic, humanistic gnosticism, aligning with 19th–20th-century occultism (e.g., Blavatsky's Isis Unveiled, 1877, which equated Enoch with Thoth). Key shifts:

1. Theological Focus: Monotheism vs. Pantheistic Cycles
   • Enoch: Strict Yahwistic monotheism—God (Holy Great One) as transcendent judge; sin is absolute rebellion, no redemption for Watchers (eternal torment). Cosmos reflects divine ordinances; humans are subordinate.
   • Doreal: Pantheistic "Oneness" (Infinite ALL/Source)—no personal God, but impersonal Law/cycles of evolution. Light/dark as balanced forces (not good/evil); rebellion is "downward thoughts," redeemable via reincarnation/wisdom. Change: Democratizes divinity; Thoth achieves godhood through knowledge, echoing gnostic self-salvation over Enoch's passive election.
2. Role of Protagonist: Visionary Prophet vs. Empowered Sage
   • Enoch: Humble intercessor—receives passive visions/petitions angels; emphasizes awe/fear of God.
   • Doreal: Thoth as active conqueror—journeys by will, teaches/battles personally, claims immortality as "thrice-born" Hermes. Change: Empowers reader as potential "Master," vs. Enoch's deference to divine hierarchy.
3. Angelic Fall: Uniform Sin vs. Dualistic Forces
   • Enoch: All Watchers fall identically (lust/knowledge); no benevolent descent—pure corruption.
   • Doreal: "Children of Light" descend benevolently (like avatars); "Dark Brothers" as separate chaotic entities (not fallen kin). Change: Introduces Manichaean dualism (eternal light/dark war), softening Enoch's "all angels equal before fall" to excusable imbalance.
4. Cosmology: Fixed Order vs. Evolutionary Fluidity
   • Enoch: Static divine blueprint (portals, treasuries, unchanging luminaries); chaos as punishment site.
   • Doreal: Fluid ether/cycles—worlds within worlds, reincarnation across planes; Atlantis as lost golden age. Change: Adds evolutionary ascent (man to star-child), vs. Enoch's linear judgment-to-paradise arc.
5. Apocalyptic Tone: Punitive End vs. Optimistic Renewal
   • Enoch: Harrowing doom (flood, abyss-fire); salvation only for pre-chosen elect.
   • Doreal: Cyclical renewal (Atlantis sinks, but wisdom revives); all souls potentially ascend via effort. Change: Hopeless dread to empowering prophecy—fits New Age optimism.

Conclusion: A Derivative Esoteric RemixDoreal's Emerald Tablets is a commentary in the occult tradition, riffing on 1 Enoch's archetypes (via Hermetic syncretism) to craft a modern mythos. It's not a "direct rip-off" (no textual overlap, original Atlantis frame), but heavily influenced—likely via secondary sources like 19th-century Theosophy, which merged Enoch with Egyptian/Hermetic lore. Doreal dilutes Enoch's moral absolutism for feel-good gnosticism, appealing to 1930s seekers amid economic despair. For authenticity, 1 Enoch is ancient scripture; Doreal's is 20th-century fiction, akin to The Urantia Book or Scientology origins. If seeking originals, read R.H. Charles's 1912 Enoch translation and Doreal's 1940s edition side-by-side for the contrasts.
