Ancient Mythology in the Bible
Poseidon	Zeus

Hades

- The most prominent Olympians in Greek mythology included Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Hephaestus, Aphrodite, Hermes, and either Hestia or Dionysus.
- They were called Olympians because, according to tradition, they resided on Mount Olympus.
- While Hades, god of the Underworld, was also a major deity and brother to Zeus and other Olympians, he was not typically considered one of the Twelve Olympians as he resided in the Underworld, not Mount Olympus.
- Dark to light.

Besides the twelve Olympians, there were many other cultic groupings of twelve gods. (Wikipedia)

Sumer and Egypt

Spotlight on Emerald Tablets

- However, before Greece, there was Sumeria, Mesopotamia and Egypt and all their mythology blends with what came after them, it's one long evolving story and more than a myth.
- Thoth, also known to represent the Greek Hermes, was born of the Virgin because she is the original mother and the wife of Ra.
- He had to partake of flesh and his father was Ea Enki but this was before sin, there was no sin, and Enki was not evil but he fell into that later.

Marduk

- Ea Enki's son was Marduk, and he ended up in a war with Thoth for 14,000 years which was recorded in the Emerald Tablets as well as the Sumerian Enūma Eliš and other writings.
- There is also a parable in the Bible, however, we couldn't really comprehend it without having some more information and the Holy Spirit interpreting.

Enūma Eliš (Akkadian Cuneiform), meaning "When on High", is a Babylonian creation myth (named after its opening words) from the late 2nd millennium BCE and the only complete surviving account of ancient near eastern cosmology. (Wikipedia)

Serpent is the DNA

- Enki represented the physical flesh and it was neither good nor bad.
- Enlil was the other son, which is the spirit and they both represented these two things.
- His mother Ninhursag had to partake of flesh but she was a virgin so the mother would be something a little more extraordinary.
- He would be the seed of the woman who bruised the woman's head, with serpent being the DNA.
- Why would he bruise the DNA, well that was the illusion, and it's the pattern of the instinctual, the lower nature.
- And that serpent was made by Enki, so he is just the flesh.

In Sumerian mythology, the "Great Mother" figure is primarily embodied by Ninhursag (also known as Ninmah, Nintu, or Belet-ili). She is a powerful goddess associated with creation, fertility, childbirth, and the nurturing of life. While other goddesses like Nammu are considered primordial creators, Ninhursag is often revered as the mother of both gods and humans. (Assistant)

Enki son of Thoth

- Enki is the one who created, or manipulated the genetics and made form.
- The story that's going around is that there was an 'atom' that contained the genetic code, and that somehow, Enki (YHWH) was able to tweak (hack) the genetic code, and that lowered him into a lower form.
- Kind of the idea that he was some kind of a doctor and 'snip snip' you could go under his operating table.
- Others say there is what is called 'junk' DNA that needs to be connected (like telephone lines) and we would have all kinds of other skills like telepathic communication and telekinesis to move objects.
- All these powers that we once had but some 'evil' being snipped our wires.

Church and government deception

- But do you really think our Heavenly Father would allow that, because it is only by free choice that we are in this situation.
- Proving that it had to be a long extended process of deception to get us to this point.
- The DNA is not really anything physical, its never actually been seen, it's simply the pattern of our own physical identity.
- It's the creation, the patterns, the energy which came from the original being, the Divine Spark, our Heavenly Father.
- Along with the original science, which is our mother, Wisdom.
- Which was expressed in their two sons, the physical and the spiritual and then the physical nature began to fall.

Absu or abyss

- Once the physical fell, because they were trying to find order again, Enki's son Marduk was the one who brought order to the world, but what kind of order?
- The ancient father, who was Absu (Apsu), that's the ancient depths of the past that no one can comprehend, we call him the Abyss and this is the primordial, distant past.
- We were trying to advance and become greater and greater, and each time a set of deities was made from the father, they were smarter than their father, until we got to one called the 'Logos' or the mind.
- This was the absolute reflection of the father, Yah, and the mother in heaven.

Clay man

- So we've got variations of everything, variations of flesh, as you have the carnal flesh, and the physical flesh, as the Lord intended us to have.
- When Jesus was resurrected, he had flesh and bones, but no blood, because flesh with its' blood cannot inherit.
- It's in the blood, where we have this carnal nature, and all this pattern (clay) that gave us form, is not really needed, because we were supposed to be bodies of light.
- This entire creation was built by YHWH and the problem is, this current kingdom we live in, is not Jesus' kingdom.

Fallen nature

- Ninhursag had to paerake of Enki, the physical, but not of Marduk, the carnal.
- Now once it had fallen, that fallen nature battled with the higher nature.
- These were deities that were individuals, they were real beings, except we don't have the whole story, we don't know what their names actually were.
- Because these were titles, not names, so it really doesn't matter what their real name is.
- Today we tend to know people by their names, but the Bible is giving you the function; the flesh, the spirit, the light.

Consciousness enlightening

- Consciousness, which is the kind of light that Ra provides and some of these words are so confusing, we get the word 'Mama' from our Heavenly Mother.
- She gave birth to Mat (Tiamat), which is also where we get the word 'matter.'
- But all these words, and some of the daughters may resemble their mothers, but this cycle keeps going on and on.
- So as we continue going down, we end up getting this higher and higher wisdom.

Consciousness

- After the division of Anu, the heavenly father, into flesh, physical and spirit, came a couple of other children from the union of Enki and Ereshkigal, and they were sons named Marduk and Ningishzidda (Thoth), who fought, something like the flesh and spirit, but a little different.
- And now we've got carnal flesh fighting a higher 'chosen' spiritual purpose.
- This created the purpose or beings such as Sophia or Numia, that represent things like wisdom, love, precognition and forethought who was a Gnostic deity.

In Mesopotamian mythology, Anu is the sky god and the father of the gods, representing divine authority and cosmic order. He is considered the supreme god and ruler of the heavens. He was also associated with kingship and the yearly calendar. In Sumerian culture, his name is An. (Assistant)

Deities from our past

- If you study Gnosticism you learn about all these deities and they were using them to explain how consciousness came to be from the very depth of the Abyss.
- This is all referring to the original deity, Source, from our past that we can't even comprehend because we've been evolving and advancing since then.
- Along comes Marduk who was going to bring order, and he had to kill his father because of this abyss of chaos.
- This primordial abyss, like a black hole, that sucks all the advancement of the future and of mind and truth, sucking it in like a black hole.

Dragon Mother

- Think about this, we're told that our original father, who created the universe, was named Absu, the Abyss.
- And the original mother of all the universe was the Dragon Mother who was Tiamat, and this is the beginning of the lineage, all the way back to before Anu.
- What this means is that before our Heavenly Father, there were others, including Cronus, Saturn, who was the devil.
- So there is a type of father who was a fleshly father, and there's always these duals or battles.
- But now we're going back to the very beginning and we get the word abyss from Absu, and Enki (YHWH) ends up taking over and he kills his father.

Lower region

- It's Enki who kills his father Absu and takes up his kingdom and reigns in the abyss and this is how we know YHWH is from this lower region.
- What is this lower region, we keep talking about an astrological circle where the sun goes around and on the top it's light, and the bottom is dark.
- That's a literal example, because we have an earth that spins around the sun and it creates light and dark and changing of the seasons.
- But does that mean when the sun's out during the day, the Heavenly Father is reigning, not in reality, it's not literal, and at night the devil is not reigning, its just an illustration.

Absu is chaos

- The original mother wanted Enki to kill his father, Absu, because he had created these individuals, Giants, Titans and such, only they were making too much noise.
- There was all this commotion because life was beginning and it was disturbing his peace so what is in that area down there in the abyss?
- What could this possibly be, because there's a few people who were trying to get rid of their father, and some even their mother.
- Enki finally killed his father, but he couldn't eliminate his mother, either he didn't want to, or he didn't have the power.

Tiamat was matter

- Therefore, Enki's son Marduk is the one who kills the mother, the Great Dragon.
- In our Bible, it's YHWH who brags about killing the Great Dragon in the sea, the Leviathan, or Rahab is another name for it.
- Rahab was the 7 headed dragon, the original red dragon in the Book of Revelation.
- Regardless if it was YHWH or Marduk who killed the dragon, Marduk was YHWHs son and so possibly YHWH is taking credit for it because he's the one who ordered Marduk, his firstborn fleshly carnal son, to carry it out.
- YHWH ended up getting rid of this dragon, the chaos of the abyss and the upheaval of this world in it's volcanic rumblings.

In that day, the LORD (YHWH) will punish with his sword— his fierce, great and powerful sword— Leviathan the gliding serpent, Leviathan the coiling serpent; he will slay the monster of the sea. (Isaiah 27:1)

Grass is greener

- Well you have to have order, so YHWH then created law.
- He did things like tell all the women they needed to be veiled because you don't want them running around causing you to be jealous or showing off.
- So you need to control her, and YHWH made up laws that if she does anything, you just stone her to death.
- Slavery, and all of this brought order, but it also brought sadness because it wasn't the true harmony.
- It's the same story that we have today that we have to focus on the things above and not beneath.
- The things below were the demons and remember, they come out of the bottomless pit.

Demon

- The demons came out of this Abyss, where is it exactly, well they came out of their father.
- And the Abyss is your subconscious mind, it doesn't really exist as something material.
- It's memories, thoughts, dark thoughts that are immature that have not yet evolved or progressed.
- When you finally get down to the Divine Being, the last to be born, the grand Messiah, the Christ, who we call the savior, well he's Logos, or mind, but much more.
- It describes everything you are, it's your likeness and is and expression of your being.

Logos is a principle originating in classical Greek thought which refers to a universal divine reason, immanent in nature, yet transcending all oppositions and imperfections in the cosmos and humanity. An eternal and unchanging truth present from the time of creation, available to every individual who seeks it. A unifying and liberating revelatory force which reconciles the human with the divine; manifested in the world as an act of God's love in the form of the Christ. (pbs.org)

Subconscious mind

- Jesus is this Logos, the same as Thoth, and they have to go and conquer the subconscious mind, because that's where all the demons are.
- So you have Jesus casting out demons into pigs, the lower nature, and they go off into the abyss and drown.
- This abyss is your subconcious mind and if you learn this, you can use this information personally, to become like the Divine Being, to bring every thought and subjection to Christ.
- Plus we also learned, that each of these children have their father and mother in them, you can't really get rid of that reality that made you since you came from that darkness.

Present moment

- You came from that Abyss, it's your father, but we are better than that because we've learned from it.
- Your mother and father, that's two parts and we're not trying to get rid of them, we're trying to remain in the present moment.
- The reason we get rid of that Abyss is because it's in the past, it gets rid of itself, we don't go around crying that we got spanked when we were a baby because it no longer matters in our reality today.
- It metamorphosizes into its son and this is why Egyptian Horus is his own father, and Osiris is his own son.
- Because what the father is, the son becomes, but that is the future because the past doesn't exist anymore.

Scared little children

- So this is why they say that every succeeding generation kills their parents, because they no longer exist.
- Absu and Tiamat had to be destroyed, the chaos, the ancient depths of our existence when we were scared little children, in the dark with all these mental demons and fears.
- Things like depression and envy are the demons, and they naturally go away when we understand this process.
- We're oftentimes looking at scripture thinking we're learning about history, and we are, but the basis for psychology is the past, going into the recesses of your mind to find the trauma and kill it.
- Except we're not really killing anything, just nightshades, or monsters and nightmares also known as 'dark night of the soul.'

In modern times, the phrase "dark night of the soul" has become a popular phrase to describe a crisis of faith or a difficult, painful period in one's life. (Wikipedia)

Bottomless pit

- That's why they call these things monsters and they come up out of the bottomless pit, and in the Book of Revelation we've got this Beast that comes out of the pit and he's got 10 horns and we're told there's 10 kings.
- Do you know who these 10 kings are, well what is the Abyss, it's that kingdom, the father, Absu, who ends up creating Atlantis so there's two cities, the city named Enoch from Seth, and the Enoch from Cain who also built a city.
- Cain's Enoch ends up having several offspring after mating with the divine fallen one, so this is why the Bible says that the sons of Elohim had relations with the daughters of men.
- And this was the reason for the flood, because man got to the point that they were so wicked that it had to be destroyed.

Eden

- When Adam was alive, he was like a deity and he was reigning, and then his son Seth reigned, and when Jesus came as Thoth, it was like paradise there, they had the city of Enoch, Atlantis.
- It was paradise and everything was wonderful, so what happened.
- If you look at stories from Plato, and other people talking about Adam, they kept their lineage pure which was very important.
- But at one point, near the end, there was this individual named Poseidon and he was the king, remember originally, it was Atlas who was the king of Atlantis.

Divine

- These were Divine Beings, they weren't half deity and half man, they were the son of Adam and Divine Beings.
- Jesus was a real deity, he wasn't a half breed, he was reigning on the earth and he will translate into heaven with all of the 144,000.
- But after Jesus left the earth, something happened, Poseidon came along and married a mortal.
- We've been so messed up by these words, Adam lived almost 1,000 years and maybe he would have never died, but his son named Enos, that means mortal.
- These beings weren't necessarily immortal, but they did live thousands of years.

The Hebrew name Enos does mean "mortal" or "man". It's often associated with the biblical figure Enos, son of Seth and grandson of Adam, who is described as one of the early humans in the Book of Genesis. The name's connection to mortality highlights the human condition and the fleeting nature of life. (Assistant)

Land of Nod

- There were these other beings who were mortal and they were lower, and Cain went unto the Land of Nod, which was the land of shades.
- They were from a different dimension, they weren't on the same frequency or from the same place as the children of Adam, instead, they were sent some place else.
- We learn in Genesis that they had relations with the daughters of man, and that man was Adam, and that was all the people of Adam.
- So who were these other beings, well it's translated as 'angels' but it was the fallen angels.

The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown. (Genesis 6:4)

Atlantis

- We know that the first of these deities was Atlas and he was a divine type of demigod.
- Well why would there be a demigod, well if the angels came down and had relations with women, that would be what be call a demigod, half mortal.
- However, does that mean they're all bad, because Atlas wasn't bad.
- Both Adam and Thoth reigned in Atlantis and they were good, and they also weren't demigods.
- So what you have to surmise is that there were other angels, who weren't bad angels, who had relations with women.

Fallen angel

- If you read in the Sumerian tablets, you'll see it was both good and bad angels.
- It was Marduk who had relations with some particular woman and they created a demigod, and this was the heir of Enki, and so therefore, could potentially be the heir of the world.
- The Divine Beings didn't live on the earth, and they didn't want a mere mortal to be heir to the divine plane of existence in heaven.
- That's not even possible, this mortal couldn't rule over the gods so remember, there's two seeds, the seed of the serpent, and the seed of the woman.

When Lamech had lived 182 years, he had a son. He named him Noah and said, “He will comfort us in the labor and painful toil of our hands caused by the ground the Lord has cursed.” After Noah was born, Lamech lived 595 years and had other sons and daughters. Altogether, Lamech lived a total of 777 years, and then he died. After Noah was 500 years old, he became the father of Shem, Ham and Japheth. (Genesis 5:28-32)

Rose bloom

- The 'virgin birth' is similar to that, there has to be a child born on earth that would be able to have the lineage of Anu.
- This is why in Egypt you have the daughter of Anu (An) marrying Joseph, it's a lineal descent down to Jesus.
- Also you discover that Noah was also one of the Divine Beings and his father, Lamech couldn't understand why he looked so different, he even glowed.
- Noah was a demigod, but from the good side.
- Poseidon ended up having 10 children with a woman who was immortal and he created the demigods.

"Now I have begotten a strange son. He is not like an ordinary human being, but looks like the children of the angels of heaven to me. His form is different and he is not like us… it does not seem to me that he is of me but of the angels." (Dead Sea Scrolls)

Greek

Pantheon player

- It's time we gain a better understanding of who God was according to the Greeks, because all the nations understood who God was and they all had their pantheon of Gods.
- The Elohim were the plural and we know that even Satan has his place in the pantheon down at the bottom of the wheel.
- Even the Book of Revelation says that he's thrown in the bottomless pit and then it's opened and he's let back out again.
- It's darkness and light, there's two sides to every coin.

And he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years should be fulfilled; and after that he must be loosed a little season. (Revelation 20:3)

One God as the Source

- All ancient faiths were based on the oldest science, astrology and the influence of the planets.
- The planets were representative of the gods in ancient Greece and Rome, Egypt and Babylon, India, and virtually all over the inhabited world.
- Our current world faiths originated in the very same ancient world.
- It should not be a surprise to find they are also all based on astrology and all recognize One God as the Source of all things.

Emerald tablet

- As you begin to awake and ascend, the Holy Spirit is going to bring to mind, those things that He already wrote and give us the interpretation.
- That's one of the greatest of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
- Greater is he the one who interprets, than the one who prophesies.
- One of the greatest prophets was Daniel but he was greater than the other prophets because he could interpret dreams and the writing upon the wall.

It happens that there are many different languages in the world, and none is meaningless; but if I do not know the meaning of a language, I shall be a foreigner to one who speaks it, and one who speaks it a foreigner to me. (1 Corinthians 14:10-11)

Mount Olympus

- In ancient Greek religion and mythology, the Olympians were the major deities of the Greek pantheon, so named because they resided on Mount Olympus.
- These gods were a family of deities, primarily the second and third generations of immortals who overthrew the Titans.

Earth Child of Gaia

- The Olympians gained their supremacy in a ten-year-long war of gods, in which Zeus led his siblings to victory over the previous generation of ruling immortal beings, the Titans, their parents.
- Titans were children of the primordial deities Gaia (Earth) and Uranus or Ouranos (Sky).

Cronus

- They were a family of gods, the most important consisting of the first generation of Olympians, who were offspring of the Titan couple, Cronus and Rhea.
- Cronus (Cronos, or Kronos) was the leader and youngest of the Titans, the children of Gaia and Uranus.
- The Romans called him Saturn.

First of all the deathless gods who dwell on Olympus made a golden race of mortal men who lived in the time of Cronos when he was reigning in heaven. And they lived like gods without sorrow of heart, remote and free from toil and grief: miserable age rested not on them; but with legs and arms never failing they made merry with feasting beyond the reach of all evils. (Hesiod, Works and Days, the Ages of Man)

Golden Age

- Cronus, patron of the harvest, overthrew his father Uranus and ruled during the mythological Golden Age until he was overthrown by his son Zeus and imprisoned in Tartarus.
- He was usually depicted with a harpe, scythe, or sickle, which was the instrument he used to castrate and depose Uranus, his father.

The period in which Cronus ruled was called the Golden Age, as the people of the time had no need for laws or rules; everyone did the right thing, and immorality was absent. (Wikipedia)

Uranus

- This happened because Cronus envied the power of his father, Uranus, the ruler of the universe.
- Additionally, Cronus also suffered the wrath of his mother, Gaia, who was mad at Cronus for imprisoning some of her children in Tartarus so they wouldn't see light.
- This included the hundred-handed Hecatoncheires and one-eyed Cyclopes.

Stone sickle

- Gaia created a great stone sickle and gathered together Cronus and his brothers to persuade them to castrate Uranus.
- Only Cronus was willing to do the deed, so Gaia gave him the sickle and placed him in ambush.
- When Uranus met with Gaia, Cronus attacked him with the sickle, castrating him and casting his testicles into the sea.

The sickle is thus representative of the violent succession of power from one generation to the next, as Heaven is literally unable to bear any more children and has lost his generative power (made all the more final by the fact that his genitals fall into the sea). That the sickle is made out of adamantine, an unbreakable material, further reinforces its nature as an object of power and violence. (litcharts.com)

White foam

- From the blood that spilled out from Uranus and fell upon the earth, the Gigantes, Erinyes, and Meliae were produced.
- The testicles produced a white foam from which the goddess Aphrodite emerged.

Gigantes, Erinyes, and Meliae were all born from the blood of Uranus after Cronus castrated him, according to Greek mythology. The Erinyes, also known as the Furies, were goddesses of vengeance. The Meliae were ash-tree nymphs. The Gigantes, or Giants, were a race of great strength and aggression. (Assistant)

Little devils

- After securing his place as the new king of gods, Cronus learned from Gaia and Uranus that he was destined to be overcome by his own children, just as he had overthrown his father.

Children floundering

- Cronus was father to the gods Demeter, Hestia, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon by Rhea.
- He devoured them all as soon as they were born to prevent the prophecy from occurring.

Omphalos Stone

- When the sixth child, Zeus, was born, Rhea sought Gaia to devise a plan to save them and to eventually get retribution against Cronus for what he did to his father and children.
- Rhea secretly gave birth to Zeus in Crete, and handed Cronus a stone wrapped in swaddling clothes, also known as the Omphalos Stone, which he promptly swallowed, thinking that it was his son.

In the ancient world, the omphalos represented the center of the universe. Today, it is an important piece of ancient Greek history. (study.com)

Titan war

- According to Hesiod, once Zeus had grown up, Cronus was forced to regurgitate his children through Gaia's cunning and Zeus' might.
- After freeing his siblings, Zeus released the Hecatoncheires and the Cyclopes who gifted him his thunderbolts.
- In a vast war called the Titanomachy, Zeus and his older brothers and sisters, with the help of the Hecatoncheires and Cyclopes, overthrew Cronus and the other Titans.

Divide the universe

- Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, the 'Big Three,' are brothers and were the sons of the Titans Cronus and Rhea.
- After overthrowing their father, they drew lots to divide the universe, with Zeus ruling the sky, Poseidon the sea, and Hades the underworld.
- They are often depicted as having a complex relationship, with Zeus holding the highest authority but also facing challenges from his brothers.

Powerful

- The three brothers are often seen as the most powerful of the Olympian gods although their domains are distinct, reflecting the different aspects of the world they control.
- They didn't have children because they didn't want any demigod offspring that would be powerful enough to overpower them.
- But most importantly, the Oracle of Delphi prophesied that a child of the Big Three would decide the fate of the gods and Mount Olympus, possibly for the worse.

There is list of the Titan Gods in Hesiod’s Theogony. Hesiod was a Greek poet from the 8th century B.C. We also get a list of them in Hyginus’s Fabulae, which was written sometime around the birth of Christ. To put this in perspective, when Isaiah was living and writing in Judah, Hesiod was writing in Greece. When Jesus was born, Hyginus’s Fabulae was already published in an early form. (jcalebjones.com)

Zeus / Jupiter

- Zeus was the sky and thunder god in Greek mythology and the king of the gods on Mount Olympus where he was was head of the Olympians.
- He was Jupiter to the Romans.
- Zeus was also infamous for his erotic escapades which resulted in many divine and heroic offspring, including Apollo, Artemis, Hermes, Persephone, Dionysus, Perseus, Heracles, Helen of Troy, Minos, and the Muses.

Zeus is a notorious shape-shifter. Favorite forms include bulls, snakes, and a distinguished, handsome man in his prime. Allegedly his true manifestation is a raging, incredibly bright, vivid flame, the equivalent of the flash from an atomic bomb, whose full impact mortals are unable to withstand. (occult-world.com)

Zeus contemplating

- Like Poseidon, Zeus also had relations with the daughters of men on earth to establish his lineage, but they were from the good side and they ended up capturing Poseidon's offspring and sending them to hell.
- They were destroying the world and they had destroyed all flesh on earth.

Poseidon / Neptune

- Poseidon, father of water, is the brother of Zeus and is the Lord of Pisces.
- After the overthow of their father, Cronus he drew lots with Zeus and Hades, another brother, for shares of the world.
- His prize was to become lord of the sea and he was widely worshiped by seamen although he was always immensely jealous that Zeus was king of the gods.
- After Poseidon mated with a mortal woman and created 10 demigods so he was the father of the 10 Titans, the Giants.
- He also had another child called Gog and Magog, his final offspring.

Gog and Magog are figures in biblical prophecy, primarily associated with the Book of Ezekiel and Revelation. In Ezekiel, Gog is a leader from the land of Magog, and they are described as enemies of God's people who will be defeated in a future battle. In Revelation, Gog and Magog are depicted as forces of evil that will be defeated at the end of time. (Assistant)

Poseidon sea

- When Atlantis was sunk in the sea, he'll come up out of the Abyss.
- So you have lineal descendants of Adam through Enoch, which is Jesus ruling over this world.
- But all of a sudden you have cohabitation with an individual on earth and mixing the line.
- Then Anu had to send his son down to have relations with one of the daughters and this is why the Greeks talk about Hercules and Atlas, because they weren't from the Poseidon lineage.
- These 10 Titans, which were the 10 horns on the Beast are from Poseidon, but Atlas, Hercules and Perceus came from Zeus.
- They imprisoned these fallen angels in Tartarus, the Abyss where their father Absu reigned.

Sea serpent

- Lucipher (Loki) and Poseidon (Ægir) are the Titans/Jotuns, while Zeus and Thor are the Olympians who overthrew their rule as Archangel Michael overthrowing the sea serpent.
- Lucipher stems from 'light father' while Poseidon comes from 'father of water.'
- Their mythologic overlap can be found with Dionysus 'light of the spring' (who represented Christ) and harvest/brewery mythology.
- Both connected to 'lifegiving waters' of the Spring and the taming and utilizization of horses.
- They are the effeminate man counterpart of the masculine warrior mother and remember, Christ played many roles.

Rainwear

- To many current day Greeks, Christ is a portrait of the great Neptune, the higher, divine dimension of this spirit, beyond the personal astrology of the horoscope.
- But at the same time, he was considered the devil.

Neptune rules the Sign of the Fish (Ichthus), the Traditional symbol of Christianity. Neptune is identified with wine, holiness, suffering, sacrifice and Pisces (Vesica Pisces), the age of Christianity. Neptune was the god of the fish and the seas and Christ is constantly associated with the Sea of Galilee and fish. He guides his fishermen disciples to a miraculous catch, walks on the water and calms a dangerous storm. (Justin Taylor, ORDM., OCP., DM)

Vineyard

- Christ is ‘the true vine’ and the lord of the vineyard.
- Wine is his special sacrament, symbolizing within Christianity, his blood and many more Kabbalah images throughout the Gospels confirm this identification.
- Neptune or Poseidon, had a weapon of choice called the Trident.
- In Hindu Myth, it was the weapon of Shiva and was called 'Trushula' which is Sanskrit for 'triple-spear and in many ways is representative of a Trinity.
- In Hindu, it represents Deity in three aspects; Creator, Preserver, and Destroyer.
- The Trident was symbolic among many ancient civilizations and myths.

It strongly supports the esoteric allegorical message of the Bible, especially the Synoptic Gospels - the message of love and peace - but avoids the literal and historical simplifications of fundamentalism. (Justin Taylor, ORDM., OCP., DM)

Hades / Pluto

- Hades is often depicted as evil due to his association with the Underworld and death in popular culture, which is often conflated with the Judeo-Christian concept of hell and Satan.
- However, Hades is not evil; he is a stern but just ruler of the Underworld, overseeing the realm of the dead.
- In Greek mythology, the Underworld is not a place of eternal torment like the Christian hell, it's simply where all the dead go, regardless of their moral standing in life.

It's important to remember that Hades is not the god of death (that's Thanatos); he is the ruler of the Underworld. This distinction is often blurred in popular culture, contributing to the confusion and mischaracterization of Hades. (Assistant)

Passive administrator

- Hades' actual role in Greek myths is more of a passive administrator of the Underworld than an active instigator of evil.
- He is portrayed as unyielding and impartial, but not cruel or malicious.
- The concept of a devil or hell doesnt show up in any books of the Bible before the time of Jerusalem's occupation under the Neo-Babylonians.
- This is when they introduced their religion of Zoroastrainism which believed in Yin and Yang type gods.
- It was during that time period where the cultures intergrated is the same time frame we see the Heaven and Hell, Good vs Evil start to appear in Judaism and Christianity.

Satan was the anti, whose function was to oppose god. He did not exist before god, but was created by god to be the bad guy, and would not have any function in the absence of that opposition. No god- no devil. Satan is not a Hades-lord-of-the-underworld, he is the lord of EVIL(transgressing against the lord's rules), which Hades most certainly was not. (Fan-208)

Projection

- People in the modern Western world associate the Underworld with hell and therefore Hades with the Devil.
- However, it’s a projection of Christian and Judite beliefs onto Greek mythology.

In the Bible, Hades (or Sheol in the Old Testament) generally refers to the abode of the dead, the realm of the departed, not necessarily a place of fiery torment, but a state of existence after death. It's often portrayed as a temporary holding place until the final judgment. While some interpretations link Hades to hell, the Bible also distinguishes between Hades and Gehenna (a place of eternal punishment). (Assistant)

Persephone is kidnapped

- The fact that Hades most famous myth revolves around the kidnapping of Persephone also damages his reputation.
- Persephone represented the seasons, in spring she went to her mother Demeter, and in the autumn to went down to stay with Hades.
- There’s also the simple fact that people hate death even though it is part of the natural order such as the changing of the seasons.
- But losing loved ones is always devastating and it’s our instinct to be afraid of dying ourselves, so therefore, if death is a bad thing, then naturally the god of the dead must be bad too.

In Greek mythology, Thanatos, Hades, and Tartarus are all gods associated with death and the underworld, but the Bible uses the words in a different context without sanctioning the idea that they are gods. (gotquestions.org)

Hermes is Mercury

- One of the Greek gods mentioned in the Bible is Hermes, whom the Romans called Mercury.
- Hermes acted as a messenger for the gods and was honored for his diplomacy, cleverness, and social skills.
- The Bible mentions Hermes in the account of apostle Paul’s first missionary journey.

Hermes, the Greek god, and Thoth, the Egyptian god, are often considered the same deity in the context of Hermeticism, a philosophical and religious tradition. This syncretism led to the figure of Hermes Trismegistus, a composite deity combining aspects of both Hermes and Thoth. (Assistant)

Healed a paralyzed man

- When Paul and Barnabas came to Lystra in Asia Minor, they healed a paralyzed man, an act that attracted the attention of the townspeople who viewed it as a miracle and called them gods.
- A priest arrived on the scene, bringing bulls and wreaths in order to offer sacrifices to Paul and Barnabas, something neither of them approved of.

When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they shouted in the Lycaonian language, “The gods have come down to us in human form!” Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes because he was the chief speaker. (Acts 14:11–12)

Castor and Pollux

- Two other Greek gods are mentioned in the context of Paul’s journey to Rome.
- The apostle Paul had been arrested and was under guard in the way to Rome across the Mediterranean Sea.
- After a stay in Malta, Paul traveled on a ship that had wintered in the island, it was an Alexandrian ship with the figurehead of the twin gods Castor and Pollux who were twin brothers but they somehow had different fathers.
- They were thought to bring good luck and protection for sailors and were associated with the phenomenon known as St. Elmo’s fire.
- Today, these twin gods of ancient myth are often called the Gemini twins.

After three months we put out to sea in a ship that had wintered in the island—it was an Alexandrian ship with the figurehead of the twin gods Castor and Pollux. (Acts 28:11)

Artemis

- Another goddess mentioned in the Bible is called Artemis of the Ephesians.
- The Greek goddess Artemis, Diana to the Romans, was the goddess of the moon and hunting.
- The goddess worshiped in Ephesus as 'Artemis' seems to have been a local deity, distinct from the Greek moon goddess with whom she shared a name.

The city clerk quieted the crowd and said: “Fellow Ephesians, doesn’t all the world know that the city of Ephesus is the guardian of the temple of the great Artemis and of her image, which fell from heaven? Therefore, since these facts are undeniable, you ought to calm down and not do anything rash. You have brought these men here, though they have neither robbed temples nor blasphemed our goddess. (Acts 19:35-37)

Coin

- There's two sides to every coin and if the coin represents reality as you know it and understand it, than you know that it's impossible to have only one side on that coin.
- In order for it to be material, you have to be able to touch it, to feel it and to do that, you have to be able to touch both sides.
- Everything material has two sides, opposites, in or out, a circle, left or right, bottom or top, up or down, there's always these two things.

Negative and positive

- Negative and positive, female and male.
- It takes a male and female to produce young, to grow and add to your understanding and to build on those two principles.
- So negative just means nothing because that which is, it's opposite is not.
- Light and darkness are the two opposites that are spoken about sometimes in the Bible.
- So you could say that darkness is bad, so you could say good and evil, but does evil really exist?

Evil stalking

- And then you would say, of course evil exists, there's a lot of bad things in the world that are evil.
- But if God is love and there is no darkness in him, and he is in all, through all and above all, then how could there be evil.
- If God is all things and he's love, then how does he tolerate it, and why does he allow it, he can't defeat evil?
- It's a huge philosophical question, but it's the answer to the universe.

Reaching the top

- One has to realize that in order to have an experience like reaching the top of the mountain, you will have to suffer.
- We have to go up the mountain and experience the shortness of breath and the muscle ache and you have to endure.
- You wouldn't know if something had a sweet, wonderful flavor, unless you knew how bitter tasted.
- And you wouldn't even know if you had a wonderful day if every day was wonderful, you couldn't laugh if you never cried.

though He were a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things which He suffered. (Hebrews 5:8)

Darkness to light

- The universe is an amazing thing but it's complicated.
- But we've got to have darkness in order to have light, and winter before spring, and that's just how the universe is.
- The Devil is not supreme, he's always conquering, and it is true that Jesus went to hell and he was conquered by Satan for a short while.
- It's in the Bible.
- Perhaps conquered is too strong a word, but Jesus did die and death met up with him, he took up his cross and he willingly laid down his life.

And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. (Matthew 10:38)

On the mountain

- The reason that Jesus did this was because he had to learn by the things in which he suffered.
- So he decided he would learn all these things and he would go up to the mountain, work hard, and learn and experience everything there is to know.
- He wanted to taste the bitter so he partook of flesh and blood as did his brethren.
- But did it defeat him? No.

Born blind

- What's the purpose for the illusion? To see the reality.
- What's the purpose for the darkness? To get to the other side and see the beautiful light.
- Everyone is born blind why? Because we sinned and we're being punished.
- Jesus said for the glory of God to be revealed go baptize yourself in the River Jordan 7 times and your eyes will be opened.
- To go down through the experience of these lower carnal forces go through the emotions and conquer the beast in the sea and the Jonah in the whale for 3 days and 3 nights.

And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, “Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee and thou shalt be clean.” (2 Kings 5:10)

See reality through words

- Jesus wasn't conquered by it, he wasn't defeated by it, he defeated the darkness.
- The darkness isn't true, we don't live in the darkness, we live in the light but we are aware of the darkness.
- We've been talking about the names of God, and the names of the Devil.
- You've got this god YHWH in the Old Testament and we understand, as Josephus pointed out, that his name is vowels which are letters that manifest the consonant.

Flavius Josephus, the Jewish historian, wrote that the sacred name of God, the Tetragrammaton (YHWH), consisted of four vowels. Specifically, he mentions this in the context of the high priest's golden crown, which featured the sacred name engraved on it. He refers to the name as "four vowels." (Assistant)

Illusion

- So we create our reality with words and Jesus is the word or the expression of the Father and through him, for him and by him, all things were created.
- That's that Christ, the only begotten, because the darkness isn't begotten of God, it's an illusion.
- The only begotten, the only expression of the Father is perfect reality.
- It's the light, the world as it's meant to be, so all things were created through Christ, the word.

Christ waking in us

- The Christ is within you, and we're all babes in Christ and he's waiting for Christ to be formed in us from the words of apostle Paul.
- This is because we have an inner man, and he's growing from day to day.
- The outer man, where the carnal resides, is dying.
- These are what all the words and symbols in the Bible are about, they're just words to help us understand why we have to suffer.
- As well as discover who we are, where we're going.

My dear children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you. (Galatians 4:19)

Crippled and laden with sin

- The only begotten of the Father therefore, is the perfect world, and perfect son.
- The carnal world, or this illusion, the weak and beggarly child that's crippled and dying, laden down with sin, that's not our Father's son.
- We don't identify with that, we're no part of the flesh, we're no part of this world, we know no man after flesh anymore.
- Apostle Paul said we were once children of darkness, we were drunkards and liars, and whatever we've done, all those things.

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light. (Ephesians 5:8)

Baptized in the river

- We've had many lives, we've been baptized in the river 7 times, or as many times, over and over and over again until the end, until it Sabbath's, until it rests, until we're finished.
- We've got plenty of time because our Father in Heaven isn't willing that any of us should perish.
- He's patient, each day is like a thousand years to him, he's got time and he gives us all time, he has a plan and his plan is perfect and everyone will achieve their perfect purpose.

Eyes to see and ears to hear

- The Old Testament has a lot of different names for god, and lots of parables.
- It was written as a parable to help us understand for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear then it will teach us this grand philosophical truth so we know who we are.
- But for many, Jesus remarked that they didn't understand, even though they had ears and they had eyes, they couldn't understand because they didn't use their spiritual eye.

But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. (Matthew 13:16)

Walking the plank

- To a physical, untrained eye, words on a page can be misunderstood.
- Some of these parables may seem harsh and cruel, this angry god and his mountain, what kind of god is that, we don't worship that god.
- So people didn't understand and they began to falsely reason that we have to have justice and so people have to be punished because they're all evil.
- The Bible was telling them that this Old Testament god was angry and he was punishing people when they didn't know it represented the lower ego, the hard sorry situation we live in.

Harshly judged

- The carnal forces of nature that are strictly enforced, like gravity, you can't disobey it or it will splatter you all over the ground.
- They couldn't understand this parable about the ego being a hard taskmaster and so they just rationalized that if you've got to be good to be saved and they know they're good, so who's evil?
- Well it must be you who's evil because they know they're not and you made a mistake and they're not going to forgive you because the Bible god wouldn't pardon their sins until the 3rd or 4th generation.

Lawmaker lurking

- He was a jealous god, a god of vengeance and so the people began to see his laws and to understand if they didn't follow them, you're going to die.
- And you must stone your own mother if she breaks one of the commandments.
- So they began to pattern their government after this parable they didn't understand.
- Unfortunately, the Catholic church hated people and stoned them and carried on the practice they did in the days of the Old Testament where they were going after this law of an eye for an eye.

God “[visits] the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children’s children, to the third and the fourth generation. (Exodus 34:7)

Shepherd at work

- This is why each one of us remains a 'slave of sin' unless we’re 'set free' by the redemptive work of Jesus.
- The apostle Paul argues that, human sin and death are a corporate problem rather than an individual one.
- He tells us that one man’s sin, Adam, brought guilt to all people. and that death came because of sin.

Many people were made sinners because one man did not obey. But one man did obey. That is why many people will be made right with God. (Romans 5:19)

My sheep

- Jesus said very clearly that he doesn't want us to go by that law.
- He wanted us to give, so that we shall receive, it's different, it's a higher law.
- People get caught up and they'll see a contradiction and oftentimes they'll choose between the two.
- Maybe they can't grasp love, they've never been loved and then if they did see a parable that talks about love or they heard the actual literal words of Christ telling us to love one another.
- They get hung up on these other verses that talk about hellfire, wrath and damnation.

Lawmaker never improves

- Of course there was an ulterior motive, because there were individuals in the world that wanted to rule over others and they wanted to keep us in fear, so they never explained the parables to us.
- They never explained to us that the Old Testament god was the lower ego.
- Mankind has always had this parable in every nation, the Greeks had their Olympians, and many of their gods and their names are related, no matter what language or nation you're in.

Father of the gods

- We've got Jesus calling his father Uranus and that's the Greek pantheon, the father of the gods.
- That's why he never said YHWH like some claim, he didn't mean YHWH, because that doesn't correspond to Uranus in the Greek pantheon.
- YHWHs not the first of the gods, nor is he the highest of the gods.
- He's down at the bottom of the wheel, and that corresponds to the god of this world, the lower realm, which is 10 commandments, the law.

Physical universe

- In esoteric wisdom it talks about the 10 Sephirot which is the 10 splendors that go forth and manifest the physical universe.
- So in the Bible you have these parables, this gematria and all this numerology, it all goes back to this ancient wisdom.
- Israel may have worshiped YHWH down in the lower part of Canaan, but in the north, the 10 tribes of Samaria and up in Bethel, they didn't worship the same way.
- There was a higher understanding of these things and it's all interwoven there in the Old Testament as we've mentioned Rachel and her sister Leah, because Le-yah is the lower and Rach-el is the higher.

The 10 Sephirot, in Kabbalah, are ten divine emanations or attributes of God, often visualized as a Tree of Life. They represent different aspects of God's creative power and how God interacts with the world. The Sephirot are: Keter (Crown), Chokmah (Wisdom), Binah (Understanding), Chesed (Lovingkindness), Gevurah (Severity/Judgment), Tiferet (Beauty/Harmony), Netzach (Eternity/Victory), Hod (Splendor/Glory), Yesod (Foundation), and Malkhut (Kingdom) or Shekhinah (Divine Presence). (Assistant)

Life blooming

- The Tree of Life is the basis of the Kabbalah, the esoteric tradition behind the Bible.
- The tree is quite clearly an astrological map of the solar system with all the planets and signs of the zodiac.
- This structure passed from Judaism to the Gnostics and is hidden in Christianity.
- All faith in the world came out of the Eleusian Mysteries from John the Baptist and it was based on astrology, a blueprint or roadmap.

Fruit is the seed of life

- ‘The Tree of Life which bare 12 manner of fruit also called the 12 zodiac signs and they produced fruit every month.
- This is the monthly cycle of the moon through the zodiac and is the annual precession of the Sun and moon through it's cycles Eleusinianand seasons.

The Tree of Life reveals the astrology/astrotheology and cosmogony at the heart of the biblical Tradition, beginning with Genesis (3.22) and continuing all the way to to Revelation (22.2) where its astrological character is confirmed, as too its role within Christianity. (Constantine Tsutras, ORDM)

Two wives

- Jacob had these two wives and he became divided at Mount Gilead and with Laban they made a pillar and it was a witness.
- Jacob journeyed to Haran, the city where his uncle Laban resided.
- It was during the departure from Haran that Rachel, one of Laban's daughters and Jacob's wife, secretly took her father's household idols, known as teraphim and hid them.

Laban also said to Jacob, “Here is this heap, and here is this pillar I have set up between you and me. This heap is a witness, and this pillar is a witness, that I will not go past this heap to your side to harm you and that you will not go past this heap and pillar to my side to harm me. May the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us.” (Genesis 31:51-53)

Moon god

- But when they went over the River Jordan and down into this land of Canaan they never worship that god.
- Instead, they worshiped the god of the Canaanites, 'Yah,' the lower moon god that ruled over the night.
- Not only did the Canaanites worship Yah, but so did the Egyptian and the Sumerians called him Ea.and Enki.
- In Greek mythology there are many gods, Poseidon, Hades and Zeus.
- Zeus got the air, Poseidon the sea, and Hades the underworld and he had a key.

In Sumerian mythology, the god Enki was associated with wisdom, fresh water, intelligence, mischief, and creation. In later Akkadian and Babylonian traditions, he was known as Ea. Enki was the patron god of the city of Eridu, considered the first city established by the gods. He was considered one of the three most powerful gods in the Mesopotamian pantheon, alongside Anu (the sky god) and Enlil (the supreme lord of the air). His abode was the Abzu (also spelled Apsu), the freshwater ocean beneath the earth. (Assistant)

Ea Enki

- In the Book of Revelation there's a bottomless pit, or an abyss.
- YHWH was the god of the abyss, as was Ea in the Sumerian legend, the Abzu below the earth.
- In Greece, Hades had a key, Poseidon had a trident and Zeus had a thunderbolt.
- And all the same things can be found in the Old Testament and in the Book of Revelation there's a god named Abaddon which is Adon which is 'at dawn' and is mentioned 750 times in the Old Testament and many times it's talking about YHWH.
- So they will say that just means the Lord, but that was a Greek god at dawn and depending on the tense could be Adon or Adonai which the Egyptians and the Hebrew had as well.

In Revelation 9, Abaddon, also known as Apollyon, is identified as the angel of the abyss, a destructive figure associated with the fifth trumpet judgment. While the name Abaddon is Hebrew for "destruction" or "place of destruction," Apollyon is the Greek term meaning "Destroyer". This figure is depicted as the king over a plague of demonic locusts, symbolizing a form of divine judgment. (Assistant)

Destruction

- Father Adonai down at the bottom of the wheel is the father of destruction, the god of perdition, like Hades, he had the key to the bottomless pit.
- All of these gods are in the Bible, but we've somehow come to understand that there's god, and there's the devil.
- We never really understand that devil is also the word god.
- Divus/diva comes from the Latin word deus and that is the same as Zeus.
- So the ancients came to understand it as the word divine, theos, or deus.
- Diva was a spirit or being or god, a deity.

"Theos" is the Greek word for "god," while "deus" is the Latin word for "god." While they both refer to the same concept, they are not etymologically related. "Divine" is an adjective derived from "deus," referring to something of or pertaining to god or a god. (Assistant)

Sumerian tablet

- All the kings of Israel represented parts of the astrological world, for example, David is dôwd and that's also Hebrew for deity or dia from which we get the word 'day.'
- But all of this is in the Old Testament, just the same as it's also in the Greek, Egyptian and Sumerian text.
- You've got Set who is Satan, which is the Latin Saturn.
- Today we call him Satan and he's the god at the bottom of the wheel and they had a big celebration on December 25th after the birth on December 21st called Saturnalia.

Lower carnal nature

- It was the higher god of heaven that Jesus worshiped and he said to the Jews, 'your father is not my father, your father is the devil.'
- He's from beneath, from below, the underworld and you wish to do the desires of your father because that's that lower carnal nature.
- The Bible calls him the god of this world and apostle Paul said he's the deity who set himself up in the temple proclaiming and declaring himself to be god.
- You have a temple and that's your body and it's the universe.

He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God. (2 Thessalonians 2:4)

Golden calf

- In this temple you have different places, you have the Most Holy in the outer courtyard and when Moses came down off the mountain the Jewish people were worshiping a golden calf.
- Because Moses was apparently taking too long they decided they were going to worship gold.
- They began to worship it in this carnal nature, this animal nature, the astrological wheel where they set up this bull with the eagles wings which is the cherub, or the Cherubim.
- That was in the Most Holy near the curtain before you go into the Most Holy and they put the blood of the covenant upon it.

The golden calf is a biblical story from Exodus 32, where the Israelites, while Moses was on Mount Sinai receiving the Ten Commandments, fashioned a golden calf and worshipped it as a replacement for God. This act is widely interpreted as a form of idolatry and a betrayal of their covenant with God. (Assistant)


Baphomet

- They didn't realize they were worshiping this brute Baphomet, Saturnalia or Capricorn which is the beast god with the fish tail down at the bottom of the wheel.
- And the mountain Sinai is the Hebrew letter shin which is that word 'sign' and means the moon, so it wasn't the god above, it was the god beneath the peak of that mountain, Set.
- Because you go down to the bottom of the wheel and then you start ascending again on December 21st the peak at the winter solstice and that's where the birth of Saturnalia was.
- They began to realize that there were different gods as time went on, Set is when the sun sets, you see that's darkness.

Dead Sea

- The Judeans were down at the Dead Sea which is the lowest place on earth.
- Jesus had to go partake of flesh and blood and he descended far below all things into the lower regions of the earth and he kept saying he couldn't rise because the sun rises at a certain time, and he couldn't do miracles yet because it wasn't his time.
- He told them they were living in darkness and they celebrated in the wintertime in the Feast of Tabernacles when the sun goes down during the autumn equinox.

Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is always ready. (John 7:6)

God at the bottom of the wheel

- Jesus said 'I'm the Lord, I'm the sun that shines from the east and shines all the way into the west, so should the coming of man be.
- He was the light and we are the children of the day, not the night.
- All of this is explained in the Old Testament and we've come to understand that YHWH is the god at the bottom of the wheel, the illusion, Satan, the darkness.
- He's got his 10 commandments, he's ruthless and vengeful god.

For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. (Matthew 24:27)

Soldier

- He's the god of armies and war, he teaches David's hands for warfare.
- So what was the Old Testament god of heaven, well it's not Greek, it's Hebrew so what did they call the god of heaven and did they talk about him?
- Well yes, all the time, first of all, Genesis 1 is Elohim and that's the plural, gods, let us make man in our image.
- Nowhere in the Greek, Sumerian or Egyptian was there ever just one god that created man, it was a collaberation because we're made both spiritually and physically.

Of David. Praise be to the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle. (Psalm 144:1)

Genesis

- You could say that the first chapter of Genesis is talking about the spiritual creation of man, while the second chapter of Genesis introduces YHWH.
- He doesn't create the forms, man from the dust, from the elemental.
- So Elohim is not the name of the father but why then are the gods called Elohim?
- Because El was the father of the gods, although that doesn't mean he was the high father.

Primordial

- Remember, Zeus was the father of the gods, but his father was Cronus, who's father was Uranus.
- And according to the Sumerians, Anu came before any of the Greeks and Anu had a father, so it just goes on and on.
- It's good enough to understand that the world can be broken down into what scientists call photons and atoms, we don't know all the details but we don't need to get that scientific about it.
- The god that we worship is the god of heaven and Anu means heaven and the Hebrew word 'Or' means light so the Greeks were worshiping something even higher than the heaven.

Almighty

- The light is higher than the heaven, it's the high god and in the New Testament it talks about Theos.
- But in the Old Testament we've got El Elyon, and it says that means 'God Most High' and then there's 'El Shaddai' which means Almighty.
- There are 'times' in the Old Testament which makes it very difficult to explain this because you've got different manuscripts.
- You've got Israelites who wrote some of the scriptures and because Israel spilt into two kingdoms, Judah and Israel, and Israel was in the north and they were lost tribes.

Lost tribe

- Even all the way down to the days of Jesus in the New Testament, it says that go ye rather to the lost tribes.
- Judah was a nation built of two tribes of Benjamin and Judah and part of Levi, because the Levites went partly to Judah, and others went to Israel, because they didn't have an inheritance or heritage.
- They weren't really a tribe so to speak, they were a group of priests.
- There were two tribes that received inheritances, Judah and Benjamin and they were down there in the southern part called Judah and also part of Canaan.

But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. (Matthew 10:6)

Lower ego

- The southern tribes were symbolic of the lower nature and they could only see or understand the ego and these 10 commandments and judgment and vengeance.
- The higher part understood more and they had symbols and some understanding of a higher, Almighty god.
- After Assyria conquered the northern country of Israel in 722 BC and took them away, they never returned, these were the 10 lost tribes.
- But the Babylonians came and took the Judites in the south away in about 600 BC and they did return, so they still know who they are in the world, unlike the lost tribes who scattered far and wide.

Forget-me-not

- So in our modern world, when we talk about the 'Jews' we're not talking about all of the tribes of Israel, just the Judean's, those who remember who they are, 2 tribes, not 12.
- Those in the lower kingdom and they're still there, and they're the ones who were left holding all the old manuscripts and were gathering them all together.
- Not really understanding all of it because they had been discarded for 70 years and when they came back from Babylon, it took a long time to gather all the manuscripts.

Days of Ezra

- Even in the days of Ezra, the scribes were still trying to put all this back together and they were very faithful trying to preserve it and write it the best they could.
- However, there were always forces who were trying to hide these things, so the teachers that came along were never able to teach you the full meaning of these things.
- Our Father in Heaven made it so we still have these ancient writings.
- So even if bad people come along and burn them, we'll dig them up in the latter days.

Ezra the Scribe (Ezra HaSofer) led the second wave of Jews returning from Babylon to Israel. He headed the religious revival of the people there at the beginning of the Second Temple era. He also led the Men of the Great Assembly, one of the most influential groups of scholars in Jewish history. (Assistant)

Digging things out

- We've already recently dug up the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Nag Hammadi Library and for the last 200 years we've been discovering ancient manuscripts and beginning to interpret them by divine intervention.
- So we can go back now and understand these things even if the Catholic church said it was anathema if you study on your own, and learn the wisdom and don't listen to the priests.
- For a long time they didn't want anyone reading the Bible but then individuals came along and translated the writings.
- After the Dark Ages in the Age of Enlightenment people began to find scriptures they could read for themselves.

Putting it all back together

- For a long time, before so many learned how to read, the church just translated the Bible story for us, so of course the people didn't understand any of this.
- Over the centuries, we had to reconstruct all this ancient wisdom, even in physics and it was Sir Isaac Newton who started studying all the ancient wisdom and he wrote far more about spiritual matters than he did about science but we were never told this.
- They had to put it back together, they had to reinvent the wheel because the ancients knew all this information and they knew this was all parables.

Beast

- The Greeks understood that Zeus was a parable, a symbol, they didn't really get down on their knees and worship a bearded man in the sky with a thunderbolt.
- Now there were those who did this, and this was called religion, and religion began to worship four-footed beasts and idols, which was idolatry.
- However, there were Greeks who weren't idolaters, they understood the meanings and there were Hebrew who also were not idolaters.

Precocious

- Down in Judea they were all idolaters because they didn't understand who they worshiped at all, YHWH, the lower god, the national god of Israel.
- He was one of the 70/72 national gods assigned by the Almighty to rule the nations.
- Jesus tried to explain it to them in parables but they didn't understand.
- So who is god, well we've got Adonai, which means destruction and YHWH always calls himself Yah-ho-vah (Jehovah) and Adonai.

Apollyon

- That's all down at the bottom of wheel and if you read Revelation 9 he calls it Abaddon or father Adon and in Greek he has the name Apollyon.
- But if you look up Apollyon in Greek it says it means Sun, but we just learned that YHWH is the darkness down at the bottom of the wheel so how could he also be the Sun.
- Well because the sun is in the sky but when it goes down at the bottom of the wheel, then it becomes winter and so at the bottom of the wheel it's Apollyon or destruction.

Apostle Paul was Saul

- Apostle Paul was originally named Saul and in some languages that means sun, and some the sun was soul.
- We have many words that have come down to us through that name, like salutations, which comes from Saul, and salute where you point to the top of your head because that represents the sun, sol, or sol-lute.
- In another language you might say hail to the chief, hail, hello.
- Hello comes from the name Helios in Greek that's the sun, and in Hebrew it's El, which is another name for the sun, or sol.
- And Sol-omon, because omon is the moon.

Apollyon destruction

- All of these words are connected and Saul was later called Paul which means destruction and when Paul uses the term 'the son of destruction' he uses the word Apollyon.
- He sat in the temple of god and declared himself to be god.
- You see there were always the two sides; the conquering sun that gave life it was in the sky, that was summer.
- Then there was the winter sun, which is the birth of Saturnalia down at the bottom of the wheel and that was Apollyon.

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition. (2 Thessalonians 2:3)

Road to Damascus

- Paul changed his name or his name was changed and it's a symbol to us that when Paul was on road to Damascus he saw the blinding light of Christ and he became a Christian.
- But in order to teach us he had to write it into words.
- He became a teacher once it comes out of your mouth it's not directly light from God, the letter of law killeth.
- So by putting it down in words much like a parable, you veiled it and then you became someone more or less who's putting it in darkness, it's a veil.

Mount Horeb

- Moses did the same thing, he went up to Mount Horeb (orb or light) and he brought the law of love but the people didn't want that.
- They started worshiping a golden calf and they wanted a priesthood, so they foumd Jethro, or Reuel, which is the good side of that priesthood, while Jethro is the bad.
- Jethro told Moses how to create a priesthood, and he darkened it and he instructed Moses to cover himself with a veil when he talked to the people because he couldn't communicate with them.
- They didn't understand the light, so veil your face and give them a priesthood.
- They don't want to go directly to god, they can't see the light, they can't bear it, so just veil it.

In the Bible, Jethro and Reuel are generally considered the same person, Moses' father-in-law. While different names appear in different passages, most scholars believe they refer to the same individual, a Midianite priest. Some interpretations suggest Reuel was his given name and Jethro a title or honorific. (Assistant)

Inner ear

- When Paul wrote the New Testament he veiled these truths as well but not so veiled as Moses did.
- Paul had some very clear words, as does Moses at times.
- However, for the most part, Jesus would not speak except through parables and he veiled it for those who could not hear with their inner ear.
- So Apollo means the darkness at the bottom of the wheel and that's why Abaddon, the father who has the key to the pit, is Apollyon, the sun.
- There are two sides to every coin.

Apollyon

- Apollyon in different tongues: Abbadon (Hebrew) Apollo (Roman) Apollyon (Greek).
- Apollyon was worshiped as the Greek sun god, he was one of the chief sun gods of Persians: Mithra, and the Romans.
- He was (alive), was not (alive), yet shall be (alive again) as Revelation says he came back to life as opposed to Jesus who was (alive) who IS (alive), and is to come.
- It is prophesied that Jesus will defeat the Beast and the False Prophet at the great final battle in Armageddon.

For the identity of the Beast, he was a king who was alive (most likely a long time ago) who died but will be brought back for a short time. I believe the Beast who will come back from the dead is Nimrod of Babylon. He was later worshipped as a sun god by different names. (r/TrueChristian)

Helios

- Additionally, the sun gods being worshiped by the Catholic church and the ancient heathens were the Beast, Apollyon, and not 'Helios.'
- Helios is associated with the ability to see all things and with truth and clarity.
- El is at the top of the wheel and in the New Testament the name for god is shown very clearly.
- In case you haven't noticed, the name Jehovah isn't in the New Testament.
- If Jesus was worshiping the true god why does it alway say Uranus in the Greek, not YHWH (Jehovah), nobody ever really answered that question.

Helios is the ancient Greek god of the Sun, often depicted driving a chariot across the sky. He is known for bringing light and warmth to the world, and his chariot is pulled by four fiery steeds. He is also associated with sight, truth, and oaths. (Assistant)

Flaming

- We just all assumed Jesus called his Father this name because after the Jews were taken into captivity, perhaps they no longer spoke Hebrew, but Greek instead, or some ratioalization like that.
- So therefore they started using Greek gods, what?
- If the Greek gods were pagans, and you believe that Uranus or Zeus, was a devil, then why in the world would the apostles, the holy inspiration of God, why would they replace it with Satan, because Uranus was not Satan.
- Why would Jesus tell the Jews his father was Uranus?
- And Jesus was telling the Jews that his Father, Uranus, was not their Father, Satan.
- Jehovah seems to have disappeared in the New Testament.

Forgotten

- Jesus was explaining the parables to the Jews, they didn't understand them or the higher god, El Elyon.
- They didn't know Adonai, and they didn't know what all these words even meant, they had forgotten.
- Jesus was someone who knew what he was talking about, he spoke of things he understood.
- Nicodemus said 'I don't understand these things' and Jesus reminded him he was a Jew and Sanhedrin and he should know these things.
- You've go to be born again but Nicodemus needed someone to teach him.

Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.” Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.” (John 3:1-3)

Nicodemus

- “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked.
- “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!”
- Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.
- Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.
- You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’

The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit. (John 3:8)

Light of God

- You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and do you not understand these things?
- Very truly I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony.
- I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things?
- No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man.

Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him. (John 3:14-15)

Uranus

- For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
- For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
- Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God. (John 3:19-21)

Missing Hebrew

- When the inspired Bible writers wrote, they didn't write in Hebrew, we have not one manuscript from the ancient New Testament that is in Hebrew.
- There is one version that is Aramaic, but it was translated from the Greek for the Aramaic speaking Christians.
- The most ancient manuscripts were written in Greek and they all say Uranus is god and Jesus called him his Father.
- We translated as 'Father in Heaven' but in Greek it's Pater Uranus, Father Sky.
- That's what these supposed 'pagans' would say if they were Greek, they would call him Uranus and sometimes Dios.

Zeus kiss from Aphrodite

- Many times in the New Testament we see Jesus calling his father Uranus, but often it also calls him God Theos.
- If you do some research you'll find people who say we don't really know what Theos means, and they'll say it has nothing to do with Zeus (of course).
- Yet others will say that the names are close, but they are not the same being.
- Ducks were associated with Aphrodite and Venus in Greek and Roman mythology, the patronesses of love, beauty and fertility.
- Aphrodite is not explicitly named in the Bible, but she still shows up in the name of Epaphroditus, who was a 'brother, co-worker and fellow soldier' of Paul.

But I think it is necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, co-worker and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger, whom you sent to take care of my needs. (Philippians 2:25)

Aphrodite ducks in seafoam

- The name Ephaphroditus means 'belonging to Aphrodite,' the name of the goddess is actually incorporated into his name.
- The early Christians believed that Greek gods, with all their convoluted mythology and popular stories, are really nothing more than demons that people through history have chosen to worship.
- But they didn't give credit to these 'pagans' as early Christianity, same as the Gnostics were budding Christians.
- And they understood Christ much better than people today but they also understood there are many gods and demigods in the pantheon.

For although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth — as indeed there are many "gods" and many "lords" (1 Corinthians 8:5)

Duck eggs will hatch

- In this way, Paul compared them as 'a sacrifice to demons' and that they can be set free from Paganism to worship the 'living god' well you have to agree that is a fair assessment to a large degree.
- Therefore, when Epaphroditus received the gospel he no longer believed in Aphrodite, but in Jesus, the living god.
- That is the better way to view this, believe in, not worship and you shouldn't name your children after him.
- Some Greek gods are demons and some aren't, it's the same 'as above, so below' story as the Bible.
- If you don't think you have demons all aound you, look again.

The "link" is kind of coincidental. The resemblances between the Christian understanding of Satan, and Poseidon (whether Mycenean or Hellenic) (pitchfork) and Pan (goat legs and horns) are mostly cosmetic, and in pursuit of the demonization of powerful pagan gods who's followers refused to convert, in an effort to eradicate their worship (and their worshippers). (ShieldMaiden3)

False gods

- Paul is responding to the Corinthians' statements that the idols saturating their city have no real existence.
- They don't exist because as Christians, we know God is the only God so eating food offering to nothing should be a non-issue.
- God is the only true God and Paul agrees that there are many 'so-called gods' in heaven and on earth, as well as many false 'gods' and 'lords.'
- He has no disagreement with their premise that false gods and idols are powerless and lack substance.

Mandatory Christians

- Everything we know has come down through the lens of Christians, remember the Romans and their Latin, that became mandatory for the entire nation, it was illegal to be anything but Christian.
- That's what all the Inquisitions were about.
- So everything we understand is coming through that ancient Catholic lens going back to the Latin Vulgate of the Bible.
- They translated everything from that including the King James.
- Incidently, Jerome created a new Hebrew calendar to hide the coming Messiah and the tribulation.

The Vulgate is a late-4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It is largely the work of Saint Jerome who, in 382, had been commissioned by Pope Damasus I to revise the Vetus Latina Gospels used by the Roman Church. (Wikipedia)

Zeus is Jupiter

- Going back to Greek we have to go to the roots of classical Greek to figure this all out and it gets very complicated.
- In Latin (Roman), Zeus is Jupiter and why such a name difference between the Greek and Roman?
- Because Greeks called the Father Pater and he was a Jew so they called him Jew-pater.
- And Jew (Ju) is Dios and Dios is the Latin way of saying Theos.
- So the meaning of the Latin Jupiter is Father Zeus and it can be proved that Ju or the Latin Dios is the same as the Greek Zeus.

Same tree

- Everything in the Greek uses Theos for the gods and it doesn't matter if it's theosophy or theology or Theogony.
- All these words come from Theos and it all means the study or science of the gods.
- It all goes back to the more modern Koine Greek, where it's always Theos.
- More ancient Greek are the Attic, which goes back to Athens, and Dorian.
- In the Attic Greek the name comes from Dyēus so the Romans (Latin) got their Deus from the Attic Greek.

Different lens

- That's why it's so difficult to understand the Bible, we've got this book that's thousands of years old coming down through various religious traditions.
- Through a Greek Bible, a Latin Bible, a classical Greek Bible, all the way back to the Athenian Greeks.
- Because of this it became common that deus, Zeus, meant God.
- That's because Zeus was the father of the gods, although, he wasn't the father of the father of the gods, or anything like that.

Hyperion

- Zeus father was Cronus which is the Latin Saturn or Satan, and this is YHWH.
- It's interesting because Uranus and Gaia gave birth to someone named Hyperion who was a Titan god of light and watchfulness, also associated with the sun, moon, and dawn.
- Hyperion and Theia gave birth to Helios, the sun, who was one of three children and he had a sister named Selena who was the moon.
- If you're following this Greek mythology as the ancients understood it, they've got the father of the gods as Uranus, who gives birth to Hyperion, hyper or high one, who gives birth to Helios, the Sun, or El of the Hebrews.

Helios reigns on the right

- Remember Saul in the Bible was the first king of Israel, and then they got David, *Dyḗus, or divine, deity or deus.
- All these names mean the same thing but you've got to go back and figure out the etymology and sometimes that's very difficult.
- This is the problem we have now that we've 2,000 years removed from Christ.
- For that reason, determining what they meant by 'god' is a little more difficult than what meets the eye.
- So Helios then, was this god, the Sun, and the Sun was always the god that reigns.

Mount Olympus

- Like Zeus, who reigned over Mount Olympus, El is Helios, or Elohim, the 12 original gods.
- So who is Jesus in the Old Testament, because his name is never mentioned there.
- But we know that he was there because the Lord said to my lord, sit down by my right hand.
- There's two gods, one sits at the left, and one sits at the right, one's above and one's below.
- Jesus said to the Jews, 'Why do you say that the coming Christ is David's son, have you not read the scripture?'

The Lord says to my lord: “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.” (Psalm 110)

Mount Olympus

- David said unto to YHWH, Jehovah, my Lord, so if David calls him my Lord, how can David be his son.
- So you see, David and YHWHs 'Lords' are two different Lords and he says sit down at my right hand,
- YHWH says to the Messiah, the other Lord, sit at my right hand and YHWHs sitting at the left.
- These are the two gods that rule both sides of the wheel.

The Bible says the coming Christ is both the son of David and also Lord over David. In Matthew 22:41-45, Jesus poses a question to the Pharisees about Psalm 110, where David refers to the Messiah as "my Lord". This highlights that the Messiah's lineage is from David, but also that he has a divine nature that elevates him above David. The Pharisees acknowledge the Messiah as the son of David, but Jesus' question exposes a deeper truth about the Messiah's identity. (Assistant)

Dock in a bay

- We know that many religions such as Jehovah's Witnesses told everyone that Jehovah was the true God.
- They've published pamphlets, booklets, fliers and books, entire libraries full of their writing about Jehovah, their false deity.
- Then they scattered them all over the world, even though the Bible was around long before Jehovah's Witnesses ever were.
- Before they made up their version of the Bible and published which caused it to become the most widely sold version of the book in the world.
- And they put the name Jehovah back in the Bible.

Phantom

- Before that happened, Christians knew that their God was different than the demigod in the Old Testament.
- They didn't go by the Old Testament, they went by the New Testament and they worshiped Jesus, they were Christians.
- Then Jehovah's Witnesses confused everyone and got them to go back to the Old Testament and we see the Jews attempting to sell us that same story every day.
- They want you to go back to their lower ego and the law.
- It was very easy to trick everyone because the Catholic's already burned all the libraries and killed the Grand Wizard, the wise ones.
- As well as the witches, the wise women, they burned all their books.

Asherah is hidden

- They made it anathema to teach anything other than what they demanded.
- But you can see why it was so easy for the people to be confused, all these names for God in the Old Testament and they didn't understand any of them or what they meant.
- The Jews for hundreds of years, maybe even thousands, took out the name of the higher god and supposedly put him back, except we don't know where they put him.
- But remember, they had their own version of the Bible and they were worshiping the god at the bottom of the wheel, YHWH.

Anathema is a formal curse by a pope or a council of the Church, excommunicating a person or denouncing a doctrine. (Assistant)

Bread and wine and communion

- And then they would confuse El and claim he was their god but they divorced him and Asherah long ago.
- But if you read the parable they took this from very carefully, you'll see the parable was talking about two different gods.
- We find that with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob all the way down the family line.
- Abraham meets El Elyon and Melchizekek and they have bread and wine and communion.
- And a promise, no law.

In the Bible, Melchizedek, the king of Salem, offers bread and wine to Abraham after Abraham's victory in battle. This event, recorded in Genesis 14:18-20, is often seen as a prefiguration of Christian communion, where bread and wine symbolize the body and blood of Christ. While not explicitly called communion in Genesis, the elements of bread and wine offered by Melchizedek, a priest, to Abraham, a man of faith, are seen as a significant parallel to the Christian sacrament. (Assistant)

Floating

- The law that came 430 years later via YHWH, Jehovah, there were sacrifices and blood, vengeance and death.
- When Jehovah met with Abraham, he demanded that Abraham kill his own son, Isaac.
- You see the darkness at the bottom of the wheel wants a sacrifice, it wants you to pay a price.
- So in the Old Testament, Jesus was El, and his father was El Elyon, or El Shaddai.
- However, in the New Testament, it's very clear, it's written right there for you, Jesus, and his father was Uranus.

Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. As the two of them went on together, Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, "Father?" "Yes, my son?" Abraham replied. "The fire and wood are here," Isaac said, "but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?" Abraham answered, "God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son." And the two of them went on together. (Genesis 22:6-8)

Sumerians

- Who did Uranus give birth to, in the Sumerian tablets it says Anu had a son named Ea.
- Enlil in the Sumerian tablets is also another form of El.
- This gets very complicated because we're looking at the 12 houses in the wheel and so the top of the wheel would be Anu, heaven, and Enlil was like Zeus, father of all the gods.
- The bottom of the wheel would be lower houses like Hades and Poseidon, gods at the bottom of the wheel.
- But the Sun is something completely different, it rules over the house and some of these gods in the lower houses would swallow up the Sun.

Mountain

- Sometimes when you're talking about a 'god' he may not even be one, like the Sun, as in the case of Apollyon, El, or Helios.
- Olympus is the mountain, it's the pinnacle, and around the base of the mountain, there's 12 houses and these 12 gods that rule on the mountain.
- As you can tell, it gets very difficult to distinquish all these gods because you're not familiar with all of them.
- It wouldn't be as hard if you understood cosmology and theology the way that the ancients did.
- But we have been taught a very different system; there was just one God and the Devil and we didn't understand all of this.

Storm god

- In the Old Testament, YHWH is the same character as Ea (Enki), the son of a god, and you'll find that in the Old Testament but you have to look really hard.
- In the Greek Septuagint version in particular, it says that Most High El Elyon divided up the world into 70/72 nations, and YHWHs lot fell upon Judah.
- So there were 72 gods and this is what we have in astrology, we have 72 deacons.

When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when he divided all mankind, he set up boundaries for the peoples according to the number of the sons of Israel. For the Lord’s portion is his people, Jacob his allotted inheritance. (Deuteronomy 32:8-9)

Elder

- With 3 of these deacons in each of the houses, 12 houses that's 36 deacons and there's day and night, so it goes around twice (like a clock) so that's 36x2 or 72.
- So there's 72 gods and 24 elders around God's throne and this always fits so harmoniously, 12 male and 12 female.
- The High God that we talked about, Hyperion, whose father was Anu heaven in the Sumerian, is what the Greeks call the High God Uranus.
- But in the Hebrew the word 'high' is Elyon, so Elyon is Uranus, sometimes called Almighty El Shaddai, but that's a title.

Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads. (Revelation 4:4)

Book of Psalms

- If you look at the Book of Psalms, half of the book is filled with David talking to El Elyon.
- Daniel hardly mentions YHWH at all, it's all about El Elyon, because Daniel was taken to Babylon where he became head of the Magi and he was preaching this higher law.
- You have to really rightly divide all of this.
- In the New Testament, God is Zeus, the reigning God, Jesus, and of course his father is Uranus.
- But if you try telling that to Christians, they won't understand that Zeus and Jesus are one in the same.
- It's come down to us in the form of Theos from Attic Greek which is the same as Zeus.

Generations

- In fact, Zeus became kind of a general term in classic Greek for the God.
- Because the New Testament was written in classical Koine Greek, common Greek, they just used the word that everyone used for god, but it's clear that Theos' father is Uranus.
- So why if Jesus is Zeus, was he quoting Zeus, because Jesus was Zeus before he lived as Jesus.
- Sometimes they would use the word Kurios, which in Greek meant the Lord, or the master of a house, generally one who had a family.
- So Kurios is not the name of a god necessarily, because remember, Hyperion gave birth not only to Helios, the sun, but also Selena, the moon, and also to Eos, goddess of dawn.

"Kurios" is a Greek word most often translated as "Lord" in English, especially in religious contexts. It signifies authority, power, and ownership. In the New Testament, it's frequently used to refer to Jesus Christ, highlighting his divine nature and position of authority. It can also refer to God the Father or even human masters. (Assistant)

Heavens

- The only place we can find the word Kurios is in classical Greek and it simply means to be master or Lord.
- Helios is definitely the name of a god, the Greek god of the Sun and this is the word that the Old Testament uses when it says El.
- So is Jesus Zeus or is he El, because Zeus is one of the 12 houses and he ends up father of the gods.
- Well the Sun is not one of the houses because the Sun rules over the houses.
- But you see, these are all parables because Jesus is the son who rules over the houses and he is also one of the houses up in the higher part of the wheel.

Cronus

- Zeus was the youngest son of Cronus which in Latin is Saturn, and in Egyptian is Set, and which we call Satan, or Capricorn, the bottom of the wheel.
- Because Ea was the eldest son of Anu in the Sumerian, and that is YHWH who is the one who ruled the world first until El became ruler.
- When you ask if Jesus is the Sun, definitely all the way through, like Egyptian Horus, which means light, and the word Dios means day, and Sol means Sun the same as El.

Seeing

- So they had all these similar words, Deus, Dia, divine, deity and David, Theos and Zeus, they all had to do with seeing.
- We get the word theatre, which means viewing, and theosophy is a view of spiritual things.
- Sophia means to view, or to make light, to see, and we get the word Dia or day from that.
- The New Testament tells us that Dios is light but nobody understands it because they think since we speak English we can't understand Greek.
- It's like aliens, we don't understand any of this but dia is light and the Bible tells you that.

The New Testament presents God (Dios) as a loving, powerful, and just being who desires a personal relationship with humanity and offers salvation through Jesus Christ. This understanding emphasizes God's immanence (presence in the world) alongside His transcendence (being beyond space and time). (Assistant)

Lightning bolts

- Would we say that Jesus was Zeus, well we'd be laughed out of town and hung on a stake, but if you think about Zeus in the Greek pantheon, he represented all the things that Jesus did.
- Zeus sent the evil Titans into Tartarus, and that's what Jesus does.
- Everything that Zeus did, Jesus did, he ruled in place as the heir of his father, Uranus, which is exactly what Zeus did.
- And Jesus said his father was Uranus, there's no other way to get around it.
- But he also represented the Sun in his righteousness that she'll reign, and Jesus kept saying 'it's not my time' because the Sun rises in the morning.

Festive

- Even the word festival comes from the word Theos, deus, as 'thea' festive means to have a feast on a particular day.
- Jesus said he wasn't going to go down to the festival of dedication in the middle of winter because that's not my time, my time is in the morning,
- He said you'll see the Son of Man rising in the east and shining all the way into the west, so shall the Son of Man or the presence of the Son of Man be.
- And he shall rise like the Sun with healing in his wings.

For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. (Matthew 24:27)

Odyssey

- Jesus is many things in these Greek parables, in one place he's Perseus who was the son of Hyperion.
- In fact, Perseus was the same character as Jason and his Argonauts, there were many who retold these stories.
- Some of the stories also changed a bit from retelling to retelling.
- You've Homer in the Iliad and Odyssey and he tried to put a lot of this down in poetic form and explain it all.
- Except no one reads Homer and his books because if you got that down, more than likely you would understand the New Testament pretty well.

Serpent

- That's because you need to understand these names as the New Testament was written in Greek.
- In Jason and the Argonauts, you've got Jesus representing several different people, Hercules, the strongman who defeats the devil, that's Jesus.
- Perceus, who saves the bride Andromeda, that's also Jesus.
- Jason is an Argonaut (ark) because he has the boat and he's sailing around the great Oceanus, the 12 astrological signs, and Jason is another way of saying Jesus, it's the same word.

Golden fleece

- Jason goes to get the golden fleece which is the Ram which is Aries (Ares), and in Latin that means deus.
- So Jesus is the deus, the Zeus, and sometimes he's called Jason, and sometimes Ies, without the 'us' on the end, just like Apollyon is Paul without the 'on' at the end.
- But there are so many scholars who don't know how to interpret the words, they think Adonai means something different.
- Either they're stupid or they're trying to hide it from us.
- So you've go Jesus and Jason, Perseus, and in the boat you've got Hercules and Dionysus, which is also another name for Jesus, and another function he played out and fulfilled.

Mary Magdala

- Just like Jesus fulfilled Old Testament prophecy, it's the same thing, he fulfilled all the Greek mythology as well but most view the Greek as something pagan.
- These things represent something philosophical and they're explanations of the Divine Comedy that we live in.
- So you see, Jesus was both the son and he was the Zeus in the heaven that ruled over the 12 signs of the zodiac.
- He was the Perseus, the Hercules, the Jason, the strongman who conquered the serpent, he's all of these things.

for what is after all nothing but their own folly.
