The legend of Semiramis and Tammuz is the biggest fabrication in the majority of churches today. This teaching uses mythology and fables as authentic sources when they are anything but authentic. This bizarre teaching caught fire in online churches beginning sometime around 2010 - 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, presented as an alternative narrative to explain the mystery of the woman in Revelation 17, dating back to the time of Nimrod and Babel.
These fables replace the antichrist - tribulation city with a religious system that allegedly rose from Babel, and consumed the earth with a mother-child mystery religion. The narrative suggests that the .002% rise of mother-child cults tied to fertility religions after Babel was scattered, explains the 'mystery of the woman' in Revelation 17. The reality is: from 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.
History shows that the spread of witchcraft, sorcery and demon possession was rampant after the flood, not mother-child religions, but this is taught from the pulpit. The mastermind behind this fabrication was Scottish minister, Alexander Hislop.
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 make your brain crawl.
