New Orleans - American Harlot City

    In America, Hollywood is the occult worshiping city that gives their dark lord free publicity in return for carnal wealth, fame and luxury. Hollywood is the propaganda mechanism of Satan and the cheerleader team for the Occult. The city is also the control center of delusion, creating manipulations of magic and enchantments, false and lying wonders. Hollywood is deeply tied to Disney, the producers of wicked pleasures. 

    New Orleans is the American ‘harlot’ city that promotes Satanic worship, the occult, witchcraft, spell casting and sorcery. One would think that the most abominable city in America would be Las Vegas or even Salem, Massachusetts but they pale by comparison to the amount and variety of sorcery and mysticism that emanate from New Orleans. 

     Salem, Massachusetts is a highly commercialized city that promotes witchcraft to honor the innocent victims of the puritan witch hunt of the 17th century. Unknown to many, the witch trials fell under British law, not Puritan law, Christian law nor American law, as Massachusetts was still a British colony at that time. Fast forward 400 years, witchcraft and sorcery are highly promoted basically as a tourist investment focusing on its dark and foreboding past. 

    New Orleans is where the real demonic energies of the dark arts are centralized and manifested due to the large amount of people invoking familiar spirits (demons) on a continual basis. 

    The number of demonic forces personified as cultural practices is astronomical. The dark forces of unclean spirits are normalized and openly glorified in New Orleans. This makes New Orleans the most sought-after occult destination in the United States. 

    Witchcraft, Sorcery, Hoodoo, Vodou, Vodun, Voodoo-Catholicism, honoring and worshipping long deceased ancestors or practitioners of the occult are all part of the culture in New Orleans. 

Hierarchy of Angels and Demons

 In heaven there is a hierarchy of angels. Some are more powerful than others, having higher ranks, roles, influence and characteristics. There are military style archangels such as Michael and messenger angels such as Gabriel. There are angels who watch over the nations waring with the fallen angels who also preside over nations. There are guardian angels, watcher angels, protective angels and ministering angels to name just a few.

And, they never sleep. 

    Satan, as the great imitator mimics things in heaven for his own agenda. He also has a hierarchy of demonic forces at work in his kingdom. These are powerful spiritual entities that are stationed above nations who influence the powers behind earthly thrones and the  kings of the world. They are busy influencing the rulers and citizens of cities, invading communities and homes across the world. Believe it or not, they are active in your social life, your work space and in your church. 

    The spiritual hosts of wickedness have influence over the sins of man: lust, greed, envy, pride, wrath, sloth and the Jezebel spirit of child sacrifice, harlotry and the occult.

    Demons are at the bottom of the hierarchy, acting as the foot soldiers, doing the bidding of the fallen angels who are the principalities, powers and rulers of darkness. This hierarchy is similar to an efficient, organized military command with the highest-ranking officers at the top, barking orders to be carried out by those in the lower ranks. 

    And they are highly organized. Like a giant hivemind, they have one goal: to usher in the kingdom of antichrist. 

    If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then will his kingdom stand?

    Demons or unclean spirits are lesser than the angels and take their marching orders from the fallen ones who were not imprisoned for their crimes. Demons are the worker bees of the fallen world, whispering sweet nothings in our ears; pestering, possessing, oppressing, torturing and taunting mankind. 

    Note how the kingdom of darkness sticks together like glue while the church has been scattered into various sects and denominations. 

Who Said the Bible Was Boring?

    In the bible you will find: Kings and kingdoms that rise and fall, beasts that rise from the sea and kings that rise from the earth. In the end of days, ten kings will rise from a beast kingdom to entrap the world under a banner of global unity. This happens just before an evil king rises up among them, unleashing global chaos and death.  

  There are queens that were good, queens that were evil and a queen who was thrown from her throne and left to wallow in self pity in the dust. There are also good kings and wicked kings that did evil in the sight of God. There were kingdoms filled with various seers, magicians, sorcerers and wizards performing necromancy and reading entrails, looking for signs. 

   You can read about strange creatures covered in eyes that dwell in heaven, good angels and fallen angels and angels who pretend to be good, but are really not. You will discover  vicious giants that walked the earth who became dark unclean spirits after a giant flood was sent to cleanse the earth. These unclean spirits prowl the earth searching for fleshy homes to inhabit. But, be careful, these are not spirits that you want hanging around your house. If you 'shoo' them away they will return with 7 others, more evil than the first for you to contend with. 

  You will find a woman named wickedness who was trapped in an ephah (basket) designed for commerce. She is secured inside with a lid made of lead so she doesn't escape when carried off to a land far away. Once her appointed time has come, she will have a temple built for her where she will be placed upon a pedestal to be worshiped, and a city will be built around her. Her city will be known for evil and bloodshed in the days when lawlessness will rule the earth. 

Mystery Woman of Revelation 17

Mystery Woman: 

    Who is this woman that has enchanted and mystified prophecy students for nearly 2,000 years and how did she receive such a seemingly influential position as a great harlot? She is joined in a mutual unity with the beast and his kingdom at the end of history, spreading her filth into the earth. She is even given royal treatment, sitting on the heads of the beast; the kingdoms of the world, and, her judgement is pending.  

   And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me saying unto me, come hither; I will show you the judgement of the great whore πόρνης (Greek: commercially corrupt one) that sits upon many waters. Revelation 17:1

So, who or what is this great whore; the commercially corrupt one? 

    To partially answer this question, we need to move the final verse in the Revelation prophecy to the forefront, it aides in the evaluation of the remaining text. This was the final clue the angel gave John; "I will tell you the mystery of the woman"... It is the ‘big’ picture that will define the harlot and the rest of the chapter with more clarity. We may not be able to identify her at this time in history but, there are many clues; so while she is being prepared, we may be able to recognize her for what she will be.  

    This interpretation is based upon scripture and the writings of the prophets which will omit the interpretation presented by Alexander Hislop taught within the church today.

    If you are not familiar with Alexander Hislop but have listened to modern Bible teachers interpret Revelation 17 as a harlot church, you are listening to, and learning the teachings of Alexander Hislop. Hislop's teaching is based upon fables, mythology, reincarnation and the various gods and goddesses that ruled the Mesopotamia, and later, the Greek and Roman cultures. These teachings are taught as actual historical and biblical narratives in the majority of churches today. These are the exact same teachings that scripture tells us to avoid. 

   For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they will turn away their ears from the Truth and (truth) shall be turned into fables (myths). 2 Timothy 4:3,4 

    When Revelation 17 is taught using authentic historical context and scripture, it reveals something completely different. Modern day bible teachers are misleading the flock by teaching the Nimrod, Semiramis, Tammuz fables as historical and biblical doctrine.

Nimrod Semiramis and Tammuz Deception

    The legend of Nimrod, Semiramis and Tammuz is the biggest con in the majority of  Christian churches today.  This teaching uses mythology and fables as authentic sources when they are anything but authentic. This bizarre teaching had literally caught fire in the online churches beginning sometime around 2012, but is now creeping into community churches throughout America. 

This is an extremely dangerous teaching. 

   The myths are literally taught as historical events and Christian theology. These fables are  presented as an alternative narrative to explain the mystery of the woman in Revelation 17,  dating back to the time of Babel. 

   These fables replace a harlot city with a harlot religion that allegedly rose from Babel and consumed the earth with a mother-child mystery religion.  The narrative suggests that the .02% rise of mother-child cults tied to the spread of fertility religions after Babel was scattered is the underlying factor that explains the 'mystery woman' of Revelation 17. The reality is: from the hundreds of fertility religions that saturated the Mesopotamia perhaps four actual mother-child cults spread to other regions of the world. That leaves 196 that did not. Not very good odds if you ask me. The mastermind behind these fabrications began with Scottish minister, Alexander Hislop. 

   History shows us that the spread in the occult, witchcraft and divination ran rampant after the flood, not mother-child religions.  

   If you are familiar with the Genesis story of Nimrod and the authentic histories of the ancient gods and goddesses of the Mesopotamia, reading the bizarre writings of Alexander Hislop will literally make your brain crawl. 

   As per Hislop, Nimrod (2500-2300 BC) was really Zoroaster, the Persian prophet who lived in the 5th C B.C. Hislop also claims that Zoroaster was really a Chaldean (9th century B.C.) who was a magician and sorcerer. Zoroaster (Nimrod) discovered the Chaldean Transmigration of Souls where he could reincarnate himself or possess humans throughout the ancient world and did so right up until the time of the Vikings. 

   By doing this little trick, he was able to establish himself throughout history as a god; many gods in fact. He was the Egyptian god Osiris, the Roman god Apollo, then Cupid son of Venus, Hercules, Vulcan (husband to Venus), Ninus, Kronos, the Norse god Odin among many others. Every ancient myth and pagan god or goddess that began in the new world was really the legacy of Tammuz / Nimrod and Semiramis passed down through the windmills of time for roughly 4000+ years.

  The creator of this myth never claims that these various gods have a common origin or were prototypes of Nimrod. Instead, his research is based upon his direct claim that they are the same being, the same divinity or the same person. And he (Hislop) creates that illusion by reincarnation. Is reincarnation a Christian concept? Of course not. But it was a concept heavily referenced in Greek mythology that Hislop relies on for his hypothesis.  

   Hislop claims that Nimrod's mother and wife, Semiramis was so popular and powerful that she was inserted into every future culture establishing herself as a goddess by way of her mystery religion. She was worshiped as the Greek goddess Rhea as the 'mother of the gods' in the 4th Century B.C. She was also worshiped in the 3rd Century A.D. as the Roman goddess Venus, the mother of impurity who corrupted the city with idolatry and prostitution. 

   

   Semiramis was worshiped throughout the entirety of history until she finally disappeared from view as Hislop tied her to the Catholic Church as Mary, completing his mission. These connections, as per Hislop's mapping of ancient 'mother' goddesses is what ties her to the Revelation 17 prophecy as the 'mother' of harlots. 

   And, just like that, the spiritually corrupt economic prostitute, the πόρνης (commercially corrupt one), the harlot city, becomes the Catholic church. 

   What a tangled web we weave.... 

   Here, we are told by Hislop that the members of the catholic church have worshiped her ever since, praying to Mary to hide the fact that they really pray to Semiramis. They are solely committed to concealing the Babylonian mystery religion that is deeply rooted to Catholicism. Even though there was never a primary mother-child religion centered in the city of Babylon or the Babylonian kingdom - the rumor mill is non-stop on this concept. There is no evidence that Nimrod had a wife named Semiramis or a child named Tammuz. I'm sure Nimrod being 'the mighty hunter before the Lord', was much desired by women; a real hunk of alpha male testosterone. But, still, no evidence exists from Babel to affirm this marriage. Also, Babel preceded Babylon by a thousand years, wouldn't that make her the Queen of Babel and not Babylon? 

   An example of meme's that float around the internet spreading fables. These are directly from the teachings of Alexander Hislop. 

   This is Hislop's theory as taught in the Christian church to explain the spread of the numerous fertility cults that rose in the Mesopotamia - which was a natural progression of a pagan, idol worshiping people. 

    Semiramis inserted herself into ancient history as a goddess. She was the mother of a god-child who was the reincarnation of her loving husband Nimrod. This was only after she had him killed and promoted him to sun-god status. She became pregnant with Tammuz after Nimrod was reincarnated as the Sun god. As the sun-god, Nimrod shined upon her, bathing her in sun light, creating a halo impregnating her with the rays of the sun. 

    This mystery religion of Semiramis and her child-god went deep underground, shrouded in secrecy and secret rites that are still practiced today. The religion was so well guarded that it survived nearly 3000 years. This, as per Hislop, was how the 'mystery religion', the  mother / child religion carried into the world after the scattering of Babel. We are told that this mystery religion is the religion found in the Catholic church. 

   But, history shows us another theory. The rise of fertility cults. Any god or goddess worth their salt had the power of fertility. There were roughly 200+ fertility gods and goddesses in ancient Mesopotamia after the flood. Perhaps four or five of these cults had a mother with child deity, a .02% ratio. Being idol worshipers, many idols and carvings were crafted so young woman could worship in the town square or carry fertility helpers with them where ever they went. 

   To be blessed with a family and a large one at that, was every woman's goal. A large family ensured the continuation of family lineage and was needed for hunting, farming, crop sharing and gathering. In the early days of civilization, temples were erected in the town square where idols of a fertility goddess were placed, available for worship. God said: go forth, multiply and fill the earth. And, that is exactly what they did. There were hundreds of fertility religions and cults that littered the plains. 

   But Alexander Hislop, thousands of years later decided there was another explanation to explain the explosion of fertility cults; Semiramis, Nimrod and Tammuz. He based his theory on  church historian Eusebius who wrote about an Assyrian queen, Queen Shammu-Ramat in the 4th century A,D. The writings of Eusebius were based on the research of the Greek physician and historian Ctesias (5-4th C BC) who connected her to a mythological character, King Ninus. This work was further cited by Diodorus from the 1st century B.C., and the work of Abydenus who lived around 200 B.C. 

   Diodorus wrote of the legend of Queen Shammu-Ramat, an Assyrian queen who lived around 811 B.C. and the Greek mythological king of Assyria King Ninus who Greek mythology places into Assyria in 3,000 B.C. He claimed Queen Shammu-Ramat was also called Semiramis and transported her legacy back into time to meet and marry King Ninus. They fell madly in love and had a son named Ninyas. Based upon the writings of Eusebius and Diodorus, Alexander Hislop assigned Ninus as Nimrod based on his understanding of Greek mythology and the biblical legend of Nimrod. He then switched the mythological child Ninyas to Tammuz, an ancient Akkadian and Babylonian child-god of plants and pastures. Tammuz was known as Damuzid in the Sumerian culture - 4,000 B.C.. 

   Not sure if you caught the date fluctuations? 

   This is literally how Hislop got his theory for The Two Babylons that he wrote in 1886 AD. Never mind the thousands of years that separate the two lives. According to Hislop's hypothesis, by the time Queen Shammu-Ramat (recreated as Semiramis) married King Shamshi-Adad V, she was already several thousands of years old.  You see, Queen Shammu-Ramat was a real queen who reigned over Assyria after her husband died in battle 811 B.C. She ruled until their son was old enough for the throne. But, unlike the fictional Semiramis she never married her son. This Queen was an actual historical figure whose legacy was tarnished by Alexander Hislop. This is what the fictional story of Semiramis and Nimrod is based upon, a queen who lived thousands of years after the flood. 

   She was transported back into the time to marry Nimrod leaving her husband and son in the 8th century BC. Hislop based his interpretation entirely on Greek myths and fictional characters (king Ninus) created from mythology. 

   Hislop carried on the tradition conducted by Diodorus and Eusebius uniting mythology and history together, intertwining them, erasing the lines of time to focus on a specific outcome: the legend of Semiramis and Nimrod. 

   There is way more to this sordid love / hate relationship that Hislop wrote about. For example, without any proof at all, Hislop claimed that Semiramis was the wife of Cush and Nimrod was their biological son. Semiramis left Cush (who became the god Bel, the 'ringleader' of apostasy) to marry Nimrod. Since the god Bel was the mythological father of the fictional king Ninus, Cush had to be transformed into the father: god Bel. Once Hislop put it to paper, Nimrod 'logically' became king Ninus, son of the god Bel who is really Cush. Then Nimrod becomes Osiris, Vulcan, Odin, Hercules, Cupid, ect... Hislop became the master of switcherooism; weaving tales and fables of mythological figures into biblical history. 

   I mean really? I have never read more made up garbage passed off as reality in my life. This is what many pastors are teaching their flocks and this is literally ingrained deep within many teachings of the YouTube churches. There has been hundreds of sermons preached on Semiramis, Tammuz and Nimrod surrounding the Revelation 17 prophecy. But, no matter how much you twist it, the woman in Revelation 17 does not metaphorically describe a church.  

   Do not go beyond what is written... I Corinthians 4:6

   I encourage you to read Hislop's theory on the Mother / Child religion that began with fertility cults in the land of Shinar. It gave me a headache each time but I got through it. Talk about bizarre mis-mapping and connecting Nimrod, Semiramis and Tammuz through every culture that ever existed in order to move them through history and tie them to the Catholic church. 

   And by the way, there is no mention of Semiramis or a wife of Nimrod in the Bible, nor in the writings of the Jewish historian, Josephus Flavius, nor on any ancient cuneiform tablets  found to date. In fact, nothing has survived from Babel on which to base these stories. Instead, these stories are based upon the writings of  one man: Alexander Hislop and his complex versions of mixing and matching Greek. Syrian, Latin and Roman mythologies. 

   I've been researching ancient Babylon, fertility cults, and the ancient god and goddess of the Mesopotamia since the 80's, and have never once come across this Nimrod, Semiramis, Tammuz 'mystery religion' that Hislop wrote about. (I truly believe he invented the entire narrative). What I did find were cultures deeply immersed in the occult, witchcraft, sorcery (drug induced spells) and divination scattered all through the Mesopotamia and Egyptian cultures. The practice of the dark arts was the common thread that dominated and spread throughout the world after Babel scattered, not a few mother-child mystery religions. 

   From over 200 fertility religions that dominated the Mesopotamia maybe four authentic mother-child religions sprung up after. That equals .02%, not a vast majority as Hislop would have you believe. 

   It wasn't until Bible teachers began preaching this as a historical narrative to explain this so-called mother / child religion that grew from the normal progression of fertility cults that I began to take notice. Having a background in authentic Mesopotamian history I began to  question where they were getting this information from. (As I said, I've been researching Mesopotamian history and mythology for as long as I can remember, and this version of history never existed in any authentic historical setting. The only setting this is found is from the pulpit.) As much as I hate to admit it, it's true. :( 

  If you believe that Adam, the first man was really the goat / man Pan, or that Nimrod had the power of reincarnation, then Hislop is your guy. Before you make any decisions please read the twisted tale, The Two Babylons thoroughly - but grab your Tylenol first!!
