Welcome back to

Marie Speaks G-d’s Grace Bible Study.

This is Season 7 of Marie Speaks G-d’s Grace.

I hope everyone has been enjoying reviewing of Trinity Cults. We have reviewed the main Trinity Cults of Meso-America. These include the Aztecs, Mayans, and Incas. We also reviewed the Greek aka Helenes and Roman Trinity Cults. Now, we will take a look at Egyptian, Assyria, and Babylonia.

Trinity Cults: Egypt, Assyria, and Babylon plus 4 more…..

We kicked off Part 2 of Season 7 by identifying the addiction of idolatry and paganism. Additionally, we reviewed measures that are used in institutions such as schools, work, and social. Measures that were under the cloak of “education” or “enlightenment” or, what is deemed socially acceptable. Essentially, the methods implemented had the main objective of breaking the will of those who wanted a true relationship with The One True Living God.

Previously, we reviewed in Bereshit Genesis ch 22: 1= Singularity, 2= Distinction, and together they make 3= Harmony; the physical reality of the spiritual ascension events that actually took place during the “offering” of Issac may peace be upon him, by The Father of our Faith Abraham.

In this 2nd Part of Season 7, we are focusing on other cases of stolen valor. Specifically, how the Trinity Cults, have attempted to lech onto the monotheism of Torah Observant ( commonly known as Orthodox) Judaism.

After reviewing the Trinity Cults of Meso-America, Aztec, Mayans, and Incas, and the Greece “Hellenes” and “Graeci” and Rome, I have a couple of questions:

Which son of Noah do the Assyrians and the Babylonians descendants?

Babylonians Descendants of Noah or Abraham?

The Babylonians are descendants of Noah through his son Ham. According to the biblical narrative, one of Ham’s sons was Cush, and one of Cush’s sons was Nimrod. Nimrod is described as the first heroic warrior on earth and the builder of cities including Babel, which later became Babylon.

Abraham, on the other hand, is not considered a direct ancestor of the Babylonians. Abraham is a descendant of Noah through his son Shem. The genealogy from Noah to Abraham follows the line of Shem, making Abraham a key figure in the Semitic line, from which the Hebrew people are descended.

Descendants of Babylonians

The Babylonians are descendants of a mix of ancient populations, including the Sumerians and Akkadians. The Sumerians are thought to have inhabited the region as early as 5400 BC, while the Akkadians, who spoke a Semitic language, appeared between the 35th and 30th centuries BC. Over time, these groups intermingled, leading to a cultural and genetic blend that formed the Babylonian civilization. 

Modern genetic studies suggest that the Babylonian descendants, including modern-day Iraqis, have a complex genetic makeup influenced by various migrations and interactions over millennia. Some genetic links are observed with Kurds, Persians, and Turks, indicating a diverse ancestry.

The Babylonian culture retained elements of Sumerian traditions and language, even after Sumerian ceased to be a spoken language and was used primarily for religious purposes. 

It’s important to note that while some groups, such as the Assyrians, consider themselves direct descendants of ancient Mesopotamian civilizations, the genetic and historical evidence points to a more complex and diverse ancestry for the Babylonians and their modern descendants.

What do the Babylonians and Assyrians have in common?

Assyrians vs Babylonians

The Assyrians and Babylonians were distinct groups that emerged from the broader Akkadian-speaking population in ancient Mesopotamia. Assyrians were centered in the northern part of Mesopotamia, while Babylonians were based in the south. Assyria took its name from the city of Ashur, and its capital later shifted to Nineveh, whereas Babylon was the primary city for the Babylonians.

Both groups shared a similar cultural and linguistic background, as they both spoke dialects of Akkadian. However, their religious practices and political structures differed. Assyrians worshiped Asshur as their chief deity, while Babylonians revered Marduk. Assyria was known for its militaristic approach and expansive conquests, whereas Babylon was more focused on trade and economic development.

The Assyrian Empire was characterized by its brutal military tactics and extensive library collections, including works of science, math, and religion. In contrast, the Babylonians, under rulers like Nebuchadnezzar II, were known for their architectural achievements and contributions to astronomy and mathematics.

The Assyrian Empire eventually weakened due to internal strife and external invasions, leading to its downfall around 612 BCE. This allowed the Babylonians to rise to power, forming the Neo-Babylonian Empire, which lasted until 539 BCE when it was conquered by the Persians.

In summary, while Assyrians and Babylonians shared a common cultural and linguistic heritage, they developed distinct identities and practices, with Assyria focusing on military might and Babylon on trade and intellectual pursuits.

What are the connections of the Meso- America pyramids and Greek and Roman and Egypt, Babylon (Ziggurat), and Assyrian?

In the Babylonian and Assyrian times pyramids are referred to as Ziggurat.

From what I am understanding, pyramids and Ziggurat were not only dwelling places for pagan gods. The Ziggurat and Pyramids, were also burial locations for the royalty. Additionally, they served as worship sites for deities. With this understanding I began to take some looks around the search AI features.

So naturally I had to look up what was a Ziggurat. What I was able to find online search AI explains:

Babylonian pyramids, more accurately called ziggurats, were massive structures built in ancient Mesopotamia for religious purposes. They were typically step pyramids with a rectangular base and were built in a series of steps up to a flat platform where a temple was raised. The most famous ziggurat is the Tower of Babel, associated with the great ziggurat of Babylon known as Etemenanki, meaning “foundation of heaven and earth”.

Is it just me or do the Zirrgurats of Babylon and Aztec very similar in this regard?

The Ziggurat of Ur, one of the best-preserved ziggurats, was built during the Early Bronze Age around the 21st century BCE by King Ur-Nammu and dedicated to Nanna/Sîn.4 It was restored in the 6th century BCE by King Nabonidus of the Neo-Babylonian Empire.

Ziggurats were believed to be dwelling places for the gods, and only priests were permitted on the ziggurat or in the rooms at its base. They were not places of public worship but served as the earthly home of the city’s patron deity.

The Babylonian ziggurat at Babylon, known as the Etemenanki, was a significant structure of the biblical story of the Tower of Babel. The ruins of this ziggurat have been found near the location, and it was likely under King Nebuchadnezzar II that the tower was at its most splendid.

Modern architecture has also been inspired by the ziggurat form, such as the Chet Holifield Federal Building in California, which is colloquially known as “the Ziggurat”.

What is with the terrorist organizations destroying ancient and current history sites, to include pyramids or ziggurats?

In America, we had black lives matters as well as antifa, and other terrorist groups destroying historical sites. In fact, if one were to examine history, many might find a link between the destruction of historical sites and revolutions. There is also a connection to revolutionaries and trinity cults. As well a partner that is set up before and after civil or revolutionary wars. I’ll discuss this more during the live or uploaded video.

Below are some links that list sites that have been destroyed.

• Save America’s Treasures
• List of destroyed heritage of the United States
• List of destroyed heritage
• List of monuments and memorials removed during the George Floyd protests
• Removal of Confederate monuments and memorials

Why would I want this to be pointed out?

I am glad you asked.

I have noticed patterns when a potential conquering force tries to institute paganism and idolatry. There is often a move towards the further, if not complete, enslavement of a people group. They often use “brown shirts” or terrorists groups to carry out the wet work. This wet work comes in the form of destroying history and later the rewriting of the history. This rewriting of history elevates the wicked groups as heroes. The righteous ones appear as the evil ones who needed to be removed for the betterment of the world, locations, or people. Using fear and terror to plague the communities proves to be an effective weapon for potential conquering forces. And of course, they replace the population with enslaved, useful masses. They displace the former righteous population to a location of strife. …. to name a few.

Getting back to the destruction of history by evil ones useful wicked groups…

I found article titled: ISIS Has Destroyed a Nearly 3,000-Year-Old Assyrian Ziggurat, The ziggurat of Nimrud was the ancient city’s central temple, by Danny LewisNovember 15, 2016. A clip from the article reads….

Predecessors to structures like the Great Pyramids, the ziggurats of Mesopotamia were massive step pyramids built as religious sites. For Nimrud, the capital of the ancient Assyrian civilization, the 140-foot-tall temple was the center of its spiritual life, Caroline Elbaor reports for artnet News. Built about 2,900 years ago by King Ashurnasirpal II, the mud brick structure was dedicated to Ninurta, a god of war and the city’s patron deity.

ISIS has made a habit out of publically destroying and vandalizing ancient historical sites throughout its reign in the region, nominally as an attack on traditions and culture that do not fit into its religious beliefs. However, as Benjamin Sutton reports for Hyperallergic, experts unsure exactly why the group destroyed the ziggurat.

Now why would ISIS, specifically target places of history? Why would ISIS, target sites that are not in agreement with their religious beliefs or practices? Especially, since historical sites is not usually the target. An even further rabbit hole would be to look into the creation of ISIS. This is not the primary focus of this lesson. However, I believe it does link back to the book of Enoch ch 6- 12. So, let’s review.

Book of Enoch ch 7

1. And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives, and each chose for himself one, and they began to go in unto them and to defile themselves with them, and they taught them charms and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted with plants. 2. And they became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three thousand ells: 3. Who consumed all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, 4. the giants turned against them and devoured mankind. 5. And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another’s flesh, and drink the blood. 6. Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones.

Book of Enoch Chapter 8

Chapter 8 of the Book of Enoch describes how Azazyel taught men to make various weapons and tools, as well as cosmetics and jewelry. This knowledge led to an increase in impiety and corruption among people. The lessons that were taught were not in the enhancement of protection, but destruction and seduction. Both destruction and seduction for corrupt and dark evil means. Additionally, other fallen angels taught different forms of knowledge, such as sorcery, astrology, and the motions of celestial bodies. Eventually, as people were destroyed, their cries reached heaven.

• Azazyel: Taught men to make swords, knives, shields, breastplates, mirrors, bracelets, ornaments, and the use of stones and dyes, leading to the alteration of the world.
• Amazarak: Taught sorcery and the division of roots.
• Armers: Taught the resolution of sorcery.
• Barakayal: Taught the observation of stars.
• Tamiel: Taught astronomy.
• Asaradel: Taught the motion of the moon.

Now is the time to use this knowledge with righteous intentions. The wisdom that is taught on these topics is not harmful to humankind. But, when these topics are taught with dark intentions, obviously the goal is always going to be something sinister.

We discussed in further detail the above in the videos linked below. Click and watch for a reminder and refresher.

Part 3: Bereshit Genesis ch 8 & ch 9: Have you ever seen the rain?

Full class: Re’eh Deuteronomy 11: 26–32, “For those who know my name”

This also reminded me about the 10 Commandments Exodus ch 20, Leviticus ch 6, and Devarim ch 29-30. So let’s recap.

Exodus 20
Elohim spoke all these words, saying:
I am Adonoy, your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slaves.
You must not have any other gods before My Presence.
You must not make for yourself any carved image, or picture of anything that is in the heaven above, or on the earth below, or in the water below the earth.
You must not prostrate yourself to them, and you must not worship them. For I, Adonoy your God, am a jealous Almighty. I am cognizant of the sins of fathers for [their] children, to the third and fourth [generations] of My enemies.
But I do [acts of] loving kindness for thousands [of generations] to those who love Me and preserve My commandments.
Do not take the Name of Adonoy, your God in vain. For Adonoy will not acquit the one who takes His Name in vain.
Remember the Shabbos day to sanctify it.
You may work six days, and do all your work.
But the seventh day is Shabbos to Adonoy, your God. You must not do any manner of work—you, your son, your daughter, your slave, your maid, your animal, and the foreigner within your gates.
For in six days Adonoy made the heaven and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and He rested on the seventh day. Therefore Adonoy blessed the Shabbos and made it holy.
Honor your father and your mother so that your days may be lengthened upon the land that Adonoy, your God, is giving you.
Do not commit murder. Do not commit adultery. Do not steal [by kidnapping human beings]. Do not testify as a false witness against your neighbor.
Do not covet your neighbor’s house. Do not covet your neighbor’s wife, his slave, his maid, his ox, his donkey, or anything else that belongs to your neighbor.

In each case, Merciful HaShem introduces Himself to a person. This introduction occurs after releasing them from some form of enslavement or bondage. To include but not limited to the enslavement and bondage or idol worship and paganism and bodily enslavement. In the case or Abram is was Ur Exodus ch 12. In the case of Moses, it was Egypt. In the case of the Nation of Israel, it was Egypt. In the case of Jacob, it was his father in law Laban. Leviticus ch 25 discusses the laws of slavery and bondage. These laws concern one’s own people due to repayment of debts or atonement. It also addresses the release of the slave. This discussion leads into Leviticus ch 26. Here, The Holy Blessed One instructs Moses to inform the people of Israel. He tells them the positive and negative consequences of not following The Commandments of HaShem. Which goes hand and hand with the 10 Commandments of Exodus ch 20.

For, Bnei Yisroel are My servants. They are My servants whom I have brought out of the land of Egypt, I am Adonoy, your God.
Leviticus chapter 26
You shall not make idols for yourselves and graven images and memorial stones you shall not raise up for youselves, and a prostration stone you shall not set in your land upon which to prostrate oneself, for I am Adonoy, your God.
You shall keep My Shabbosos and you shall fear (revere) My Sanctuary, I am Adonoy.
Bechukotai
If you follow My statutes and keep My commandments and you will fulfill them,
I will provide your rains in their proper time. The earth shall give forth its produce and the tree of the field shall give forth its produce.
[Because of the abundant produce] threshing will overtake the grape harvest and the grape harvest overtake the [time to] plant, and you will eat your bread to satiation and you will live securely in your land.

I will grant peace in the land; you will lie down (sleep) without disturbance (fear). I will banish evil beasts from the land, and no sword shall pass through your land.
You will pursue your enemies and they will fall before you by the sword.
Five of you will pursue one hundred and one hundred of you will pursue ten thousand, and your enemies will fall before you by the sword.
I will turn to you and make you fruitful and multiply you, and establish My covenant with you.

You will eat the old [store] long kept and the old [store] you will have to clear out because of the new.
I will set My Sanctuary among you and My spirit will not loathe (reject) you.
I will walk among you and I will be a God for you, and you will be My people.
I am Adonoy your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt from where you were slaves, and I broke the bars of your yoke and led you forth standing upright.
And if you will not listen to Me and you will not fulfill all of these commandments.
If you despise My statutes and your souls loathe My laws so as not to fulfill all My commandments, thereby breaking My convenant.
Then I will do the same with you. I will impose terror upon you, [which causes] swelling and fever that consume the eyes and fill the soul with grief. You will plant [your seeds] in vain because your enemies will consume [your crops.]
I will set my face against you and you will be defeated before your enemies; your foes will rule over you and you will flee [even] when no one is pursuing you.
If after these [catastrophes] you still do not listen to Me, then I will increase your punishment sevenfold, as your sins.
I will break the pride of your power. I will make your heavens like iron and your land like copper.
Your strength will be exhausted in vain. Your land will not yield its produce and the tree[s] of the land will not give forth its produce.
If you walk contrary to Me and have no desire to listen to Me, I will increase the blows upon you sevenfold, as your sins.
I will send among you wild animals of the field and they will make you bereft of children, destroy your cattle, reduce your [population] and make your roads into wasteland.
If after these [catastrophes] you have not been disciplined [to listen] to Me, and walk contrary to Me,
[Then] I, too, will walk contrary to you; and I shall also smite you seven fold, for your sins.
I will bring an avenging sword upon you avenging the covenant You will be huddled [in your cities]. I will send pestilence among you and you will be given into the hand of the enemy.
When I break the staff of your bread, ten women will bake your bread in one oven and they will return your bread by weight. You will eat but you will not be satiated.
If [in spite] of this you [still] will not listen to Me, and you will walk contrary to Me,
I will walk contrary to you in fury, and indeed I too shall punish you sevenfold, for your sins.
You will eat the flesh of your sons and you will eat the flesh of your daughters.
I will destroy your high places and I will smash your sun images. I will set your corpses upon the carcasses (remains) of your idols, and My soul will loathe you.
I will turn your cities into ruins and bring your Sanctuaries into desolation. I will no longer scent (accept favorably) the fragrance of your offerings.
I will make the land [so] desolate that your enemies who live on it will be astonished.
I will scatter you among the nations and unsheath the sword after you. Your land will be desolate and your cities will be in ruins.
The land will then be appeased for its Shabbosos [during] all the days of its desolation while you are in the land of your enemies. Then the land will rest and be appeased for its Shabbosos.
All the days that it lies desolate it shall have its rest—the rest it did not have on your Shabbosos when you were living upon it.
To those who survive among you, I will send timidity into their hearts [as they live] in the lands of their enemies. The sound of a blown leaf will put them to flight and they will flee as though fleeing from a sword; and they will fall with no one chasing them.
They will stumble over one other as though before a sword when there is no pursuer, and you will have no power to stand upright before your enemies.
You will be lost among the nations and the land of your enemies will consume you.
Those of you who survive will rot away in their iniquity in the land of your enemies, and also due to the iniquities of their ancestors which are [still] with them, [they] will they rot away.
They will [then] confess their iniquities and the iniquities of their ancestors in the unfaithfulness with which they were unfaithful to Me, and also for walking contrary to Me.
I, too, will go contrary to them and bring them into the land of their enemies. Or perhaps then will be humbled their uncircumcised (unyielding) heart and then their iniquities will be appeased (forgiven).
I will [then] remember My covenant with Yaakov and also My covenant with Yitzchok and also My covenant with Avrohom, I will remember and I will remember the land.
The land, being bereft of them, will be appeased for its Shabbosos, during the time of its desolation from them and their iniquities will then be appeased (forgiven) since what certainly caused [this] is that they despised My laws and their soul loathed (rejected) My statutes.
All this not withstanding, even when they are in the land of their enemies I will not despise them and I will not loathe them to annihilate them, to break My covenant with them, for I am Adonoy, their God.
I shall remember for them the covenant of their ancestors whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in sight of the nations to be a God for them, I am Adonoy.
These are the statutes, the laws and the teachings that Adonoy set between Himself and between Bnei Yisroel, on Mount Sinai, through the hand of Moshe.

Dueteronomy Devarim ch 29 Moses of Blessed memory, speech tells every who is present and who was not present that they are accountable to The Holy Blessed. If they chose to serve HaShem, the Most High Only Living G-d, then they will have blessings. If they chose not to serve HaShem, then curses will over take them and their children. Moses of Blessed memory explains spiritual laws. These laws will manifest into physical accountability. Based of the affects of how one conducts and performs their use of free will.

Devarim ch 29
You are to guard the tenets of this covenant and fulfill them, in order that you succeed in everything that you do.’’
Nitzavim
‘‘You stand, this day all of you before Adonoy, your God; your tribal chieftains, your elders and your law officers, every man of Yisroel.
Your young, your wives, and your convert who is within your camps; from your wood cutters to the water drawers.
For your passage into the covenant of Adonoy, your God, and His oath-curse, that Adonoy, your God, is making with you today.

In order to sustain you today as His people, and He will be for you a God as He promished you and as He promised your forefathers Avrohom, Yitzchok, and Yaakov.
And not with you alone am I making this covenant and this oath-curse.
But with whoever is here with us standing today in the presence of Adonoy, our God, and with those who are not here with us today.

For you are aware how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we passed through the nations whom you passed through.
Where you observed their abominations and their loathsomeness [idols], wood and stone, silver and gold, that they owned.
Perhaps there is among you a man or a woman or a family or a tribe whose thoughts stray today from [being] with Adonoy, our God, to go serve the gods of those nations; lest there is within you a root producing gall and bitter fruit.
When he hears the statements of this oath-curse, he will imagine self-blessings, saying, ‘‘Peace will be my lot when I shall follow what my thoughts envision,’’ so that the unintentional may be added to the sinful.
Adonoy will be unwilling to forgive him, because then Adonoy’s nostrils will fume and His vengeful fury will enflame against that man, and there will cling to him the entire oath-curse written in this book; and Adonoy will eliminate his name from beneath the sky.
And Adonoy will seperate him for harm from all the tribes of Yisroel, in accord with all the oath-curses of the covenant inscribed in this Torah scroll.
The latter generation will say—your children who will arise after you and the stranger who will come from a distant land; and they will see the plagues of that land and its illnesses that Adonoy has harmed it with.
Sulfur and salt, all its land, will be burnt, it will not be seeded, and it will not sprout, and no grass will grow there; like the overturning of Sodom and Amoroh, Admoh and Tzevoyim, which Adonoy overturned in His anger and His wrath.
And all the nations will say, ‘‘For what did Adonoy do so to this land? Why the vigor of this great anger?’’
And they will reply, ‘‘Because they forsook the covenant of Adonoy, the God of their forefathers, which He made with them when He took them out of the land of Egypt.
And they went and served other gods and prostrated themselves to them; gods unknown to them and [which] He had not apportioned to them.
And Adonoy became furious with that land, [causing Him] to bring on it the entire curse written in this book.
And Adonoy forced them away from their land with anger and wrath and great fury; and He cast them into another land like this day.
The hidden [matters] are Adonoy’s, our God’s, and the revealed [matters] are ours and our children’s forever, to perform all the statements of this Torah.
30

When it happens that there come upon you all these statements, the blessing and the curse that I have set before you; and you will restore to your perception amid all the nations where Adonoy, your God, has exiled you.
You will return to Adonoy, your God, and obey Him exactly as I am commanding you today, you and your sons, wholeheartedly and with your whole being.
Adonoy, your God, will bring back your returnees and will be merciful toward you; and He will return and gather you from all the peoples that Adonoy, your God, has dispersed you there.
If your exiled one will be at the edge of the heavens, from there will Adonoy, your God, gather you and from there will He take you.
And Adonoy, your God, will bring you to the land that your forefathers inherited and you will inherit it; and He will benefit you and multiply you more than your forefathers.
And Adonoy, your God, will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love Adonoy, your God, wholeheartedly and with all your being in order that you live.

Adonoy, your God, will place all these oath-curses upon your enemies and upon your foes who chased you.
And you will turn back and obey Adonoy; and you will perform all His commandments that I am commanding you today.
Adonoy, your God, will give you surplus in all your endeavors, in the fruit of your belly, and in the offspring of your animals, and in the produce of your soil—for benefit; for Adonoy will return to rejoice over you for benefit as He rejoiced over your forefathers.
When you obey Adonoy, your God, to guard His commandments and His statutes, written in this Torah scroll; when you turn back to Adonoy, your God, wholeheartedly and with all your being.

For this mitzvah that I am commanding you today; it is not abstruse to you nor is it distant.
It is not in heaven, [for you] to say, ‘‘Who will go up to heaven for us, and acquire it for us, and inform us of it, and we will fulfill it?’’
Nor is it overseas, [for you] to say, ‘‘Who will travel overseas for us, and acquire it for us, and inform us of it, and we will fulfill it?’’
For the matter is extremely close to you; in your mouth and in your mind to fulfill it.

See, I have placed before you today life and good, and death and bad.
For which I command you this day, to love Adonoy, your God, to go in His ways and to guard His commandments and His statutes and His laws; and you will live and you will flourish, and Adonoy, your God, will bless you in the land that you are coming there to inherit.
But if your heart strays and you do not listen, and you are misled, and you prostrate yourself to other gods and worship them.
I tell you today that you shall certainly perish; you will not remain long on the land that you are crossing the Yardein to come there to inherit.
I invoke, as witnesses against you this day, heaven and earth: Life and death have I placed before you, blessing and curse; you choose life in order that you live, you and your descendants,
To love Adonoy, your God, to obey Him and to cling to Him; for He is your life and your longevity, to live on the soil that Adonoy swore to your forefathers—to Avrohom, to Yitzchok, and to Yaakov—to give them.

I place all this information for a reason. Well, multiple reasons, but to name a few:

I believe there is only One G-d.

I believe that The One and Only Living G-d, requires all His creations to serve Him and no other.

I believe G-d, may possibly require different nations to serve His divine will in separated ways or manners, but those ways and manners are meant to work together. I don’t believe the Laws as basic level at the 10 Commandment change from Nation to Nation.

Numbers ch 23:19-20 God is not a man, that he should lie; nor the son of man, that he should repent: has he said, and shall he not perform? or has he spoken, and shall he not make it good? Behold, I am bidden to bless: and he has blessed; and I cannot reverse it.

Because Must like those who construct a house. Not everyone on the construction site is going to be a roofer. But, from the fiancees to the final inspector; everyone had a part in building the house. If one person involved in building the house is lax or corrupt during planning or execution, the house could crumple.

Books on Books

There are several books one could study to attempt to understand a predator or seducer. There are several movies and songs that paint a violent picture of how predators coordinate, choose, and attack their prey.

I learned something important in several of my UVA appointments and classes in the Marines. Many predators disguise themselves as a friend. They may also appear as a helper, a confidant, or a role model. These are just a few examples.

These are often truly the most vicious criminals. They are sweet, kind, and alluring. They might be impressive, authoritative, well-dressed, or even soft-spoken social psychopaths. They exist in a variety of fields and occupations and come from all walks of life. Drawing the weak, naive, hopeful, or even serial victims into the flame.

In the BLOG Part 2 Of Season 7: Are you addicted to idolatry? Are you over coming  paganism?  The Tests, Trials, and Success to freedom!!!

We shall ask and answered some questions:

How is it possible that so many have been deceived?-coordinated efforts in various institutions and programs. Mass slavery of various forms. Poverty. Sickness, illness, disease. Warfare. Reeducation camps. Attacking the most vulnerable of the communities. Dissolution of protection. Dissolution of the families or tribe units. Fog of war confusing. Breaking of the will of the people.

What is a hard target? A hard target is a person, place, or thing that is well-protected and difficult to access.

What is a soft target? A soft target refers to a location, facility, or group of people that are relatively unprotected and vulnerable to attack, especially by terrorists or criminals, due to limited security measures or a lack of defenses. 

How does one protect themselves and their loved ones from ones with evil intent?

How did Rome 325 or Trinity Cults, use predatory means to enslave masses?

How does ones break free from slavery?

What is critical thinking?

What to expect this Part 2 of Season 7 and Bible Study Lesson:

Foundation

We have reviewed from the start of the First Book of Moses. It is the Word of the Holy Blessed One, Bereshit/Genesis. Throughout each chapter, we will review, learn, examine, and study.

Now that we have a foundation in Torah, we will test our resolve.

This will lead us to examine this 2nd portion of the season. We will unveil information. We will investigate cases of Stolen Valor. These cases are related to the number one cult in the world; the Christianity system. After further research, I believe we shall conclude it is actually an ancient Canaanite religion. It is dressed up in a pretty stolen valor bow.

Along with this great task, we will continue to increase our intro Hebrew vocabulary. We will also include an intro to Hebrew terminology. We might even dive into a little Latin and Greek and other languages. This will be coupled with a version of The Tanakh (the actual Jewish Bible, that means no “new testament”) introduction. As well as several pagan and idolatry sources and references. Our studies will always be rooted in Torah Spiritual Teaching. But, to truly test ourselves, we must examine “both sides of the coin”. We also need to be thorough Truth seekers. This will allow us to follow the truth where ever it may lead. Please, keep in mind some or many truths may be uncomfortable or even unbelievable. Non the less, the truth is still the truth.

The books, sources, and resources or references I will do my best to ensure are, hyperlinked for others. This allows them to review and study at their own leisure.

My goal is to help and assist others by studying Torah. I research the information and teachings of Torah sages. I apply in life the lessons taught by our sages of Blessed memory and today. I then learn and share or teach what I have learned or experienced. As well as exposing tricks of those who have mislead the masses. Misleads that sometimes were and are quite violent or presented a a “free gift”. This rounds out my personal experiences in any moment or season of life, thus forming a reality. This approach better equips each person. G’W all have the true opportunity of free will. They can make a conscious decision in and of life.

This reality is a living, yes living, energy frequency.

Physical And Spiritual

Able to raise higher and higher (G-d willing) and be adjusted as more experiences and new learning take place. These are my attempts at improving myself. I hope to leave the part of the world I have been placed in, in a better state than before. I will do this if needed. I also aim to positively impact the people I encounter, if possible. People and places I am blessed to encounter, G-d willing, will have a positive experience of their own. This experience will be a stronghold or pillar of success for G-d’s Glory. Ultimately, it will lead them to G-d and His Holy Torah.

This Is Not Forced Or Coerced, Nor Manipulated.

I fully accept my own and others’ free will, given to us by the Holy Creator. Therefore, at the end of the day, one’s own education is determined by their efforts. It is also determined by their intentions and perseverance of truth.

Everyone has a responsibility to their own life, experiences, learning, and education. These are just a few examples. Individuals must seek and find truths that form their reality.

TRUTH

All truth comes from G-d. It was given to us in His Holy Torah. It was then lived out in the Tanakh. To be clear, I believe all Truth comes from the G-d of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob. It was given to us through His Prophet Moses, our Blessed Teacher. It is meant to teach the world and all those who love Him. They will know Him and call Him by name. They live by His Torah.

To understand, realize, and learn the truth, we should try our best to learn terminology. Then, share this beauty with others who are open.

So What Is Terminology?

Terminology, as defined by Wikipedia, is:

Terminology is a group of specialized words and respective meanings in a particular field, and also the study of such terms and their use; the latter meaning is also known as terminology science.A term is a word, compound word, or multi-word expressions that in specific contexts is given specific meanings—these may deviate from the meanings the same words have in other contexts and in everyday language.

 Terminology is a discipline that studies, among other things, the development of such terms and their interrelationships within a specialized domain.

Terminology is a discipline that systematically studies the “labelling or designating of concepts” particular to one or more subject fields or domains of human activity. It does this through the research and analysis of terms in context for the purpose of documenting and promoting consistent usage.

This will lead us to asking a great question with many possible answers:

How is it possible that so many have been deceived?

We all have experienced or witnessed some level of idol-worshiping. We all may not have notice or realized what was idol worship or pagan ritual. But I assure you…. we all have.

This not realizing is partly how many have been deceive, manipulated, coerced, and or drawn into idol worship and paganism.

This deception, manipulation, coercion, and or draw into idol worship and paganism is nothing new. In fact many if not each generation has been tested.

In the next lesson we will review recent cults and examine their religious practices. These cults have their roots in the ancient canaanite religion and occult. Which is really Fallen Angel worship. When we review these ancient Canaanite Fallen Angel worshiping religions and cults, we definitely uncover layers of deception. We also reveal manipulation, coercion, and the allure of idol worship and paganism.

Third up:

Egypt, Assyria, and Babylon.

*search engine AI results from a variety of sources through out this BLOG*

According to historical records, Ancient Egypt came before the Babylonians; the Egyptian civilization began earlier than the Babylonian Empire, with most historians placing the start of Egyptian civilization around 3100 BCE, while the Babylonian Empire rose much later, around the 19th century BCE. 

Before Egypt was Egypt

Before Egypt was called Egypt, it was known as Kemet, and was home to hunter-gatherers, small farming communities, and Neolithic cultures. This period is called Predynastic Egypt, which lasted until the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt around 3100 BC. 

Kemet was the name given to Egypt by its ancient inhabitants. The term is used to connect Egypt to its African cultural roots. 

History of Kemet

• The Kemetic civilization began in Ta-Seti and unified Upper and Lower Egypt into Kemet around 3300-3500 BC. 
• The Nome of Memphis was the first province of Kemet, established to protect the interior from invasion. 
• Pharaoh Thutmose III expanded Kemet’s territory into the Delta and Mediterranean. 
• The Kemetic civilization was based on spirituality, racial equality, and cosmic laws. 
• The Kemetians believed that following the rules of cosmic order would support and maintain the world. 
• The Kemetians’ culture influenced Western civilization and ancient India. 

Meaning of Kemet 

• The word Kemet literally means “Black Land” in ancient Egyptian.
• The name came from the rich, fertile black soil that was replenished annually by the Nile.
• The ancient Egyptians called the Nile “iteru”, which means “big river”.

Predynastic Egypt

• People: Hunter-gatherers and fishermen were replaced by a grain-grinding culture 
• Settlements: Small farming communities developed along the Nile River 
• Culture: The Badarian culture and the Naqada series are considered precursors to dynastic Egypt 
• Writing: The earliest known hieroglyphic inscriptions were found on Naqada III pottery vessels around 3200 BC 

Transition to Egypt of the Hellens/ Greeks

• Around 3100 BC, Upper and Lower Egypt were unified under pharaoh or king Menes 
• The history of ancient Egypt unfolded as a series of kingdoms, including the Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom, and New Kingdom 
• The Macedonians and Ptolemaic rulers called the land Egypt 
• In 642 CE, Egypt became the Arabic Misr 

Some sources claim the name Egypt comes from the Ancient Semitic name mi-iṣ-ru, which means “border” or “frontier”. 

Egypt Creation Story

Before creation, according to Egyptian mythology, only Darkness embraced the Primeval Ocean out of which life would come. When the breath of life was strong and ready, the entity called Atum decided it was time for Creation to begin. An island emerged from the water to support this divinity, who manifested itself in the form of Ra, the sun god of Egypt.

On a Primeval hill, Ra created out of himself the first gods, Shu (Dryness and Air), and his partner Tefnut (Humidity), who would engender other gods to complete the Cosmos: Geb the Earth god and Nut the Sky goddess. In turn, these two birthed the Principles of life, namely Osiris the Perfect Being, who eventually would rule over the rest of the world—which Ra was busy creating by naming the elements. And by the way, humankind happened out of the tears of his eyes.

Osiris was a kind and wise ruler who taught humans agriculture and civilization. With his sister/wife Isis, who helped her husband with creativity and magic, they formed the perfect couple. Their brother Seth was strong but unruly, the opposite of his brother. In fact, Seth envied Osiris so much that he killed him so he could inherit his throne and rule Egypt the way he wanted. Seth’s sister/ partner Nephthys could not stop the murder despite her love for their siblings.

Killing Osiris turned out not such a bad idea. He was resurrected through the magic of his wife long enough to impregnate her with son Horus, who would later avenge his father and recapture the throne of Egypt. Then Osiris departed to the Otherworld to rule over the deceased, thus ensuring resurrection and the cycle of life.

Yet the myths do not end there. While the aging Ra was fine-tuning his creations, humanity rebelled against him. The god decided on extermination, asking his tear-giving eye again for help. To fulfill her task, the eye transformed herself into a fierce lioness and began slaughtering humanity, delighted in her feeding. When Ra saw the carnage, he felt sorry for the beloved children who, like tears, ‘came out of his eye.’ He stopped the massacre but refused to live more among humans. This led to his journey to the Otherworld, where Ra created the 12 hours of day by sailing the sky from the Eastern horizon to the West, illuminating the world and allowing all creations to flourish under his rays. Reaching the Western horizon, Ra then left the earth in darkness for 12 hours of night while he sailed the Underworld, illuminating the dead, destroying the enemies of creation, and regenerating himself in a union with Osiris, the god of resurrection.

When Ra appeared at dawn in the Eastern horizon, he took the form of a falcon, known as Hor-akhty, or Horus of the Horizon, the falcon who flies high in the sky (Horus = one who is high up.) But Ra had other forms. He also could be represented as a scarab called kheper (the one who comes into being)—an analogy based not only on the pun between the name of the scarab and the verb “to happen’, but also because the scarab, who arises from desert sands at the first rays of the sun, pushing a ball of dung carrying his eggs, was believed to be self-created. By midday the sun-god was again Ra and represented by the sun-disk. At sunset he became Atum, an old man who had completed his life cycle and was ready to disappear to be regenerated for a new day.

Akhenaten

Egyptian pharaoh in 18th Dynasty

The only pharaoh to worship one god was Amenhotep IV, who later changed his name to Akhenaten. He introduced the religion of Atenism, which focused on the worship of a single deity, the sun disk Aten, and is considered the first known monotheistic religion.

Akhenaten’s reign was marked by significant religious reforms. He closed the temples of other gods and promoted the exclusive worship of Aten. However, this monotheistic religion did not last long after his death and was largely eradicated.

Akhenaten ruled from 1353 to 1336 BC and was a pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty of Egypt. His religious reforms were unique in Egyptian history, but it is important to note that Egyptian pharaohs traditionally considered themselves gods, though not the supreme god.

Akhenaten: Egyptian pharaoh in 18th Dynasty, reigned from 1353 to 1336 BC, known for introducing Atenism, the first known monotheistic religion focused on the worship of the sun disk Aten.

Religious Observance in Ancient Egypt

Religious observance in ancient Egypt was deeply integrated into daily life and involved a wide range of rituals and festivals. The most common observance was the daily offering ritual, which involved making offerings of food, drink, clothing, and ointment to divine beings, including gods, kings, and the blessed dead. These offerings were made to maintain the fabric and process of the universe according to the ancient Egyptians’ beliefs.

Temples played a central role in religious observance, with the reigning king often depicted as the primary figure offering to the gods within the temple. Priests and priestesses performed these rituals, maintaining the sanctity of the temple and the statue of the god within. They also performed various other duties such as marriages, blessings, funerals, and healing rituals.

Festivals were another significant aspect of religious observance. These ceremonies, dedicated to the cycle of the Moon and the gods, were intended to keep the order of creation active on Earth. Festivals were royal rituals in which the pharaoh invoked the deities and affirmed his divine rule.

Religious observance was not limited to the elite; it involved all members of the community, from the wealthy to the poor, the ruling class, and even slaves. The ancient Egyptians believed that their lives were part of an eternal journey, and religious observance was essential for maintaining harmony (maat) and ensuring a favorable afterlife.

• Daily Offering Ritual: Involves making offerings to divine beings to maintain the fabric of the universe.
• Temple Rituals: Performed by priests and priestesses to maintain the sanctity of the temple and the statue of the god.
• Festivals: Royal rituals performed by the pharaoh to invoke the deities and affirm his divine rule.
• Community Involvement: All members of the community participated in religious observance, from the elite to the common people.

These observances were crucial for maintaining the balance and order of the universe, reflecting the ancient Egyptians’ belief in the interconnectedness of life and the divine.

Priests and Priestesses in Ancient Egypt

In ancient Egypt, the clergy consisted of priests and priestesses who were responsible for maintaining the harmony established by the gods and ensuring the continuity of divine order. Both men and women could join the priesthood, performing similar roles and receiving the same pay.

Priests were essential in caring for the gods in the temples, conducting daily rituals, and ensuring the statues of the gods were properly washed, dressed, and provided with offerings. They were required to be ritually pure, which included shaving their entire bodies every third day to maintain cleanliness and purity.

Priestesses often served female deities, although there were exceptions. For example, women could serve as priestesses for male deities like Amun, and both male and female priests served the goddess Serket, who was associated with medicine.

The most common title for a priestess was “chantress,” and some priestesses impersonated goddesses in rituals. The wives of high priests often held the title “leader of the musical troupe.” The most important priestess was the “God’s Wife,” a title held by royal women who acted as the human consort of the god Amun at Karnak. The God’s Wife could enter the innermost shrine to make offerings and played an active role in defending Egypt through magical means.

The priesthood had a hierarchy, with the high priest at the top, appointed by Egypt’s ruler and responsible for mediating between humans and gods. Below the high priest were lector priests, who wrote down religious texts, taught other clergy members, and recited heka (the authoritative utterance) at temples and during festivals. Unlike other ranks, there are no historical references to female lector priests.

Women and men could serve in various roles within the priesthood, and their duties were not strictly gender-specific, reflecting the importance of both genders in maintaining the religious and social order of ancient Egypt.

Osiris in Ancient Egypt

In ancient Egyptian mythology, Osiris is the god of the afterlife, the underworld, and the dead. He is also known as the judge of the dead, where the souls of the deceased undergo the Great Judgment or the Weighing of the Heart ceremony. During this trial, the heart of the deceased is weighed against the feather of Ma’at, which represents truth and justice. If the heart is lighter than the feather, the soul is granted access to the afterlife; otherwise, it is devoured by Ammit, the devourer of the dead. This process is central to the ancient Egyptian belief in the afterlife and is a significant part of the Osiris myth.

Sacredtext.com, also known as the Internet Sacred Text Archive (ISTA), is a digital library dedicated to preserving electronic public domain religious texts. It was first opened to the public on March 9, 1999, by John Bruno Hare, who started building the website from his home in Santa Cruz, California, as an intellectual challenge.

The website aims to promote religious tolerance through knowledge and offers a vast collection of books on religion, mythology, folklore, and the esoteric. It contains over 1700 sacred books, many of which are rare and hard to find. The texts are organized into 77 different categories, covering a wide range of religious and cultural traditions.

The Internet Sacred Text Archive is a non-profit archive that provides free access to its extensive collection of electronic texts. It is recognized for having the largest readership of any similar site on the web. The maintenance costs for the website are funded by sales of the website on DVD, CD-ROM, or USB flash drive.

The site is also available through the Library of Congress Web Archives, which makes it accessible for educational and research purposes.

Fig. 20.–Serapis.

In the case of division they had two of the name of Anubis, one for Upper Egypt and one for Lower Egypt, and afterwards as many as six of that name. They divided Horus into three persons, upon the rule that everything perfect has three parts; and in addition to Horus the king the son of Isis, and Horus-Ra before mentioned, they made a third Horus, the Scarabeus or beetle. While making out of the god Osiris the new person Osiri-Apis or Serapis, they made a second by uniting him to Pthah in the person of Pthah-sokar-Osiris.

p. 13

The gods were very much grouped in sets of three, and each city had its own trinity. In Thebes it was Amun-Ra, Athor, and Chonso, or father, mother, and son (see Fig. 21). Sometimes, however, they were arranged as father, son, and mother, placing Chonso between his two parents. In Abousimbel and Derr in Nubia, the trinity is Pthah,

Amun-Ra, and Horus-Ra, and these are the three gods to whom Rameses II. is sacrificing the Philistines, in the sculptures at Beyroot. At Abousimbel the king also worships Amun-Ra, Horus-Ra, and Horus of Lower Egypt. At Wady Seboua he is seated in a group with Pthah, Kneph, and Athor. At Silsilis he worships Amun-Ra, Horus-Ra, and Hapimou, the Nile. At Philæ the trinity

p. 14

is Osiris, Isis, and Horus, a group, indeed, common to most parts of Egypt. Other groups were Isis, Nephthys, and Horus (see Fig. 22); or Isis, Nephthys, and Osiris; and with a national love for mysticism the priests often declared that the three in some undescribed way only made one person. The above figures, indeed, do not declare that the three gods are only one; but we have a hieroglyphical inscription in the British Museum as early as the reign of Sevechus of the eighth century before the Christian Era, showing that the doctrine of Trinity in Unity already formed part of their religion, and stating that in each of the two groups last mentioned the three gods only made one person (Egypt. Inscript. Pl. 36, 4, 5)

Babylonia and Assyria

The gods and goddesses of Babylonia and Assyria were part of the Mesopotamian pantheon. Some of the most well-known include Marduk, Ishtar, Ashur, Shamash, and Enki. 

Babylonian gods

• Marduk: The national god of Babylonia, the storm god, and the main creation god 
• Ishtar: The goddess of love, beauty, and war, who is often compared to Aphrodite 
• Shamash: The god of the sun and justice, the Assyrian version of Utu 
• Enki: The god of wisdom and earth, the Sumerian version of Ea 
• Anu: The god of the sky and heavens 
• Enlil: The god of air and power 
• Ninhursag: The mother goddess of mountains and nurturing 

Assyrian gods 

• Ashur: The supreme god of the Assyrians, the god of war, and the husband of Ishtar
• Shamash: The Assyrian version of Utu
• Elil: The Assyrian version of Enlil
• Ishtar: The goddess of love and war

The story of creation, Enuma Elish, introduced many of the major gods and goddesses of the Mesopotamian pantheon. 

THE ASSYRIAN EPIC OF THE CREATION

FIRST TABLET OF THE STORY OF THE CREATION

Just a #clip

1. At that time the heaven above had not yet announced,
2. or the earth beneath recorded, a name;
3. the unopened 1 deep was their generator,
4. Mummu-Tiamat (the chaos of the sea) was the mother of them all.
5. Their waters were embosomed as one, 2 and
6. the corn-field 3 was unharvested, the pasture was un-grown.
7. At that time the gods had not appeared, any of them;
8. by no name were they recorded, no destiny (had they fixed).
9. Then the (great) gods were created,
10. Lakhmu and Lakhamu issued forth (the first),
11. until they grew up (when)
12. An-sar and Ki-sar were created.
13. Long were the days, extended (was the time, until)
14. the gods Anu, (Bel and Ea were born),
15. An-sar and Ki-sar (gave them birth).

Fragments of a long epic poem, describing the creation of the world in a series of tablets or books, were discovered by Mr. George Smith among the cuneiform treasures of the British Museum which had come from the royal library of Kouyunjik or Nineveh. The tablets appear to be seven in number, and since the creation was described as consisting of a series of successive acts, it presented a curious similarity to the account of the creation recorded in the first chapter of Genesis.

The epic embodied certain of the ideas and beliefs current in Assyria and Babylonia regarding the creation of the universe. That there were other ideas and legends is evident from the existence of another story of the creation, which came originally from the library of Cutha, and differed entirely from that of the epic. The epic, as I have pointed out in my Lectures on the Religion of the Ancient Babylonians (p. 385), clearly belongs to a late date. The gods of the popular religion not only have their

p. 123

places in the universe fixed, but even the period and manner of their origin is described. The elementary spirits of the old Accadian faith have passed into the great gods of Semitic belief, and been finally resolved into mere symbolical representatives of the primordial elements of the world. Under a thin disguise of theological nomenclature, the Babylonian theory of the universe has become a philosophic materialism. The gods themselves come and go like mortal men; they are the offspring of the everlasting elements of the heaven and earth, and of that watery abyss out of which mythology had created a demon of evil, but which the philosopher knew to be the mother and source of all things. The Tiamat of the first tablet of the epic is a very different being from the Tiamat of the fourth.

I much doubt, therefore, whether the epic in its present form is older than the time of Assur-bani-pal. It sums up under a poetical garb the teachings of mythology and philosophy about the origin of things. The Babylonians had always believed that the world had been created out of water, and that the present creation had been preceded by an earlier creation, an imperfect and chaotic prototype of that which followed. This earlier creation, in fact, had been the work of chaos, and the destruction of it by the younger gods of light and order ushered in the new creation of the visible world. Light and darkness, chaos and order, are ever struggling one against the other; but the victory of light and order was

p. 124

assured ever since Merodach, the Sun-god, overthrew the dragon Tiamat, “the wicked serpent ” as she is also called, who represented chaos and anarchy. Tiamat is the Assyrian equivalent of the Hebrew tehôm, “the deep,” upon whose face, according to Gen. i. 2, darkness had rested before the universe was made.

Babylonian Religious Ceremonies

Babylonian religious ceremonies were diverse and included daily offerings to the gods, seasonal festivals, and public ceremonies. These rituals were overseen by priests and priestesses who maintained temple finances and interpreted omens. One significant festival was the New Year’s festival (Akitu), held in the month of Nisan, which emphasized themes of renewal and kingship. During Akitu, rituals affirmed the king’s divine right to rule, including the symbolic washing and crowning of the king.24

Private confessional and atonement rituals were also characterized by mystic and magic ceremonies accompanied by prayers, often recited by the penitent. These prayers combined religious sentiment with literary perfection and were part of a larger collection of rituals and prayers.1

Sacred texts played a crucial role in Babylonian religious practices, providing guidelines for rituals and the recitation of hymns. These texts were considered divinely inspired and were preserved through cuneiform writing on clay tablets.5

Daily rituals in Babylonian temples involved offerings of food, incense, and other gifts to the deities, believed to ensure divine favor and maintain harmony within society.5

Babylonian religious ceremonies were deeply intertwined with agricultural cycles and reinforced community bonds, celebrating deities and marking significant seasonal changes essential for farming and survival.2

• New Year’s Festival (Akitu): A significant festival held in the month of Nisan, emphasizing renewal and kingship, with rituals affirming the king’s divine right to rule.24
• Private Confessional and Atonement Rituals: Characterized by mystic and magic ceremonies accompanied by prayers, often recited by the penitent.1
• Daily Offerings: Involving offerings of food, incense, and other gifts to the deities, believed to ensure divine favor and maintain harmony within society.5
• Seasonal Festivals: Celebrating deities and marking significant seasonal changes essential for farming and survival.2

These ceremonies and rituals were integral to Babylonian religious and cultural identity, serving as a framework for both religious and agricultural activities.

Priests and Priestesses in Babylonia

In ancient Babylonia, priests and priestesses played crucial roles as intermediaries between the gods and the people. They were often considered equals to the king in power and honor, serving as mediators and holding significant religious and political influence.

Priests were typically young boys who showed talent in scribe schools and underwent rigorous training. They performed various duties within the temple, including butchering, cooking, baking, brewing, and maintaining the temple’s supplies. They also included specialists in setting the table for the gods, artisans working with different materials, weavers, washers, singers, lamenters, acrobats, gatekeepers, and barbers.

Priestesses, such as the nadītu, were associated with specific city gods and were not allowed to marry or have biological children, though adoption was permitted. They were often considered priestesses by modern authors, though this is not universally accepted. Some scholars argue that they should be treated as a distinct social class due to the lack of evidence for religious duties beyond prayer.

A notable example of a high priestess is Ennigaldi-Nanna, who served as the entu, or high priestess, of Ur and was the “human wife” of the moon-god Sin. She held significant religious and political power and is known for founding a museum in Ur around 530 BC, which is often considered the first museum in world history.

Gala were priests of the Sumerian goddess Inanna, known for singing lamentations. They were significant temple personnel and sometimes adopted female characteristics, including names and roles, in their worship practices.

Gala Priests of Inanna

The Gala were priests of the Sumerian goddess Inanna, known for their role in singing lamentations and performing rituals in her temples. They appeared in temple records dating back to the middle of the 3rd millennium BC. According to an old Babylonian text, Enki created the gala specifically to sing “heart-soothing laments” for Inanna.

These priests were known for adopting feminine characteristics and sometimes took female names, singing in the Sumerian eme-sal dialect, which was typically used for the speech of female gods. Despite their effeminate character, many administrative texts mention gala priests who had children, wives, and large families.

Gala priests were involved in various rituals, including music, dance, and acts of devotion, which were essential during significant festivals dedicated to Inanna. Their participation highlighted the acceptance of diverse gender identities within Mesopotamian culture.

Babylonian Religious Practices

Babylonian religious practice was centered around a polytheistic belief system with a primary focus on the god Marduk, who was considered the national god of the Babylonian empire. Other significant deities included Ishtar, Ea, and others, each with their own temples and associated myths and rituals. The Babylonians believed that the gods lived simultaneously in their statues in temples and in the natural forces they embodied. Ritual care and worship of these statues were considered sacred, and the destruction of idols was seen as a loss of divine patronage. Babylonian religion also involved annual festivals, such as the New Year festival celebrating the re-creation of the Earth, which began on the first day of the first Babylonian month, Nisannu, roughly corresponding to April/May in the Gregorian calendar.
