What is
The Mystery Religion of Babylon?
The religion created by Semaramis (Ishtar) flourished over
time and began to take definition. Like the True Faith in Yahuah, this new
counterfeit religion had holy days, sacrifices, a day of
worship, etc. that identified this religion over time as it progressed from
one culture to the next. Ultimately, to be re-established in Rome as the seat
of this religion, as I pointed out in the first book
Creation Cries Out!.
Nimrod became Baal the Sun God, Semaramis became Ishtar the
fertility Goddess, and Tammuz was worshipped as the Son of God incarnate/God in
the flesh to form The Trinity. The Trinity is the defining
pretense/doctrine of all pagan religions and all of them can be traced back to
Baal, Ishtar, and Tammuz.
It is not my intention in this book to contest the
“Christian Trinity” but to simply show that the Trinitarian doctrine is the
foundation of EVERY religion but one… The True Faith in Yahuah which declares
the basic premise that Yahuah alone is God and there is no other (The Faith
held by Adam, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David, Solomon, Sampson, The
Messiah Yahusha, all his disciples, and every early convert of the early church
until 300 AD).
The
Encyclopedia
Britannica, Micropedia Volume 11, page 928, gives us the following
facts about the trinity.
TRINITY, in Christian doctrine,
the unity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three persons in one Godhead.
Neither
the word Trinity nor the explicit doctrine appears in the New Testament,
nor did Jesus and his followers intend to contradict
the Shema in the Old Testament: "Hear,
O Israel: Yahuah our God is one God" (Deuteronomy 6:4).
The doctrine of
The Trinity developed gradually over several centuries and through many controversies.
It took many centuries and many controversies to establish
The Trinity as it is not a concept found in The Bible. In fact, the modern English
Bible translations had to be edited and perverted in order to “imply” the
doctrine of The Trinity as I will prove in this book series. For more
information on how the Bible has been altered, read the book ‘Misquoting
Jesus’.
Over many centuries a very well-defined religion evolved
from the beginnings in Babylon. The names vary depending on the culture and language,
but the basic structure remained. All later mystery pagan religions share a
defined structure:
·
Godhead – in the form of a trinity or triune gods
·
A day of worshipping The Sungod called Sunday
·
A “symbol” of the “son” of God, the cross of Tammuz a cut-out of
the center of The Zodiac.
·
A resurrection day celebration, on “Ishtar Day” commemorated on
the Vernal (Spring) Equinox. When winter turns to spring each year around the
end of March.
The eating of a pig on Ishtar Day as the sacrifice to Tammuz.
·
A holiday celebration of the annual rebirth of the Sun God on the
Winter Solstice. This celebration is held each year on the shortest day of the
year when the
“Sun” is reborn and the days begin to get longer around December
25th.
·
The second member of The Trinity who was the “incarnation” of
God.
It is these six main aspects of
The Mystery Religion
of Babylon that I would like to focus on for the purpose of this book
series. These are the identifying beliefs and rituals of the religion of
Babylon. I define and explain each of them briefly. I will reference these main
aspect and define the “The Mystery Religion of Babylon”.
