Inanna and Ishtar and the Tale of Tammuz

As we move closer to Resurrection Sunday we will see memes about  Ishtar, Nimrod, Semiramis and Tammuz, that tie the Resurrection of Christ Jesus to pagan myths. 

These are absolute garbage. Let me explain: 

   The oldest goddess documented in history was Inanna. Inanna was the primary, and first fertility goddess of the southern Mesopotamia. Her origins are found in Sumer, dating back to 3000 B.C.. Inanna was the original Queen of heaven. She was NEVER called Semiramis. She was the prototype for nomadic people, who wanted a Queen of heaven of their own. 

   Inanna had a boyfriend, his name was Dumuzid or Dumuzi.  His beginnings are also found in Sumer, dating back to 3000 B.C.. as Inanna and Dumuzid were intimately linked in a romantic relationship. As their popularity grew, their deity status made its way into the Akkadian and Babylonian territories. Here, they were known as Ishtar and Tammuz. 

   Tammuz was the youthful god of pastures and plants. He was not connected to sun worship nor, was he ever a sun-god. His father was the primary god Ea or El, his mother was Dutter, goddess of ewes, in the Sumerian culture and, Davkina, mistress of the vine, in the Babylonian and Akkadian cultures. The tale of Inanna and Tammuz is documented in the form of hymns, found on Cuneiform Sumerian tablet called the Babylonian Tammuz Lamentations. The tablet is number 15 and is housed in the British museum. 

   The hymns were translated by Frederick A. Vanderburgh in 1906 and placed into a book published in 1908: Sumerian Hymns from Cuneiform Texts in the British Museum. Frederick Augustus Vanderburgh, Columbia University Press, 1908

Pharmakeia In the Last Days

Pharmakeia φαρμακεία is the Greek translation for pharmaceuticals or drugs used in sorcery, magic or magical enchantments. Generally translated as sorcery, enchantments or witchcraft, in the Bible, it is the mixing and use of psychotics in magic rituals, demon summoning and spell casting. 

  In the Bible, spiritual harlotry is not only defined by the worship of idols or other gods. Harlotry also involves the practice of occultic rituals or, seeking out practitioners of the dark arts: diviners, witches or those who call upon demons, familiar spirits or, spirits of the deceased. Many rituals for demon summoning involve the use of pharmaceuticals, psychedelics or hallucinogens, used by sorcerers.

   Pharmakeia, in the simplest definition is the intentional use of drugs, hallucinogens, psychedelics and poisons in combination with sorcery, witchcraft, enchantments and spells to alter the state of consciousness when communicating with demons. Pharmakeia is also used to inflict harm upon another with the use of toxins, which is considered as a poisoning or spellbinding ritual. 

   Remember the wicked witch of the West, from The Wizard of OZ? She poisoned Dorothy, the lion and Toto with sorcery: a combination of poison and a magic spell. She mixed pharmakeia, her poison potion in a golden goblet. She then spread this potion over her magic looking glass while chanting, 'Sleep, sleep" This was a combination of pharmakeia - a toxin, poison mixed with her magic spell; aka: witchcraft. This is a silly but effective example of the use of sorcery aka: pharmakeia in combination with a magic spell. 

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 Hollywood 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 such as Voodoo 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. 

Mystery Woman of Revelation 17

Mystery Woman: 

    Who is this woman that has enchanted and mystified prophecy students for nearly 2,000 years? She sits in the wilderness with her companion, the scarlet beast at the end of world history, spreading her filth into the earth. She is even given royal treatment, carried upon  seven heads of the beast; the kingdoms of the world.  

   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 prostitute; 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 empires. 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 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. 

   The mastermind behind these fabrications was Scottish minister, Alexander Hislop. 

   History shows that the spread in the occult, witchcraft and, demon possession was 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.
