The origin of the term for “king” or “ruler” in languages from Western Europe to East Asia is a word used by our distant ancestors for the pre-Flood god-kings, the Rephaim. And it was carried across the continents by the descendants of Noah as they spread out from the Ararat Plain.Continue Reading
“Bull El” occupied the same place in the Canaanite cosmic hierarchy as Kumarbi did for the Hurrians. By erecting the golden calves, Jeroboam drew the northern tribes into the worship of a god whose rebellion introduced the pre-Flood world to the occult knowledge that Babylon was so proud of preserving.Continue Reading
Psalm 82 may depict Yahweh appearing in the middle of El’s infernal council to pass sentence on rebellious fallen angels! And Psalm 68 may record a battle at Mount Hermon around that time—an action that ended with God taking away “a host of captives.”Continue Reading
The chief god of Mesopotamia before the political rise of Babylon was the deity called the “Great Mountain,” Enlil. He was simply “the” god, his name deriving from a doubling of the Semitic word ilu (“god”): il + ilû, meaning “god of gods,” or “god of all the gods.”Continue Reading
Enlil was the chief god of Mesopotamia for more than a thousand years. His “reign” began with the rise of the Akkadian empire in the twenty-fourth century BC. But if we look farther back in history, we may find another hint at this god’s arrogance and a very clear message from God that he will not be allowed out of the abyss before the appointed time.Continue Reading
Dagan was very important in the ancient Near East, even if we don’t know much about his character. His cult may have been spread across the region in the twenty-fourth century BC by the great conqueror Sargon of Akkad, who led his troops from near modern Baghdad all the way to the Mediterranean.Continue Reading
A key connection between Dagan and his other identities is the god’s link to the netherworld. One of Dagan’s epithets was bēl pagrê, which has been translated “lord of the dead,” “lord of corpse offerings, lord of corpses (a netherworld god), lord of funerary offerings, and lord of human sacrifices.”Continue Reading
A new, just-published translation of an inscription discovered about a hundred and fifty years ago inside a temple on the summit of Mount Hermon adds more support for the theory that Saturn, under a variety of names, has had a profound influence on human history and will play a devastating role before the final battle of the ages, Armageddon.Continue Reading
Isaiah 14, contrary to the long-held consensus, doesn’t refer to Lucifer/Satan at all, but was directed instead at another supernatural rebel: Assur, who was Enlil/Shemihazah by another name.Continue Reading
The last section of Isaiah 14 appears to refer to nation-states, specifically Babylon and Assyria. What I propose is something new: The entire chapter is directed at the entity worshiped as the father of their gods. Not Satan–Saturn.Continue Reading
