The Origin of Sun Worship, Trinity, Babylon and Sunday

Worship
Satan's church had its beginning at Babylon with the construction of the Tower of Babel on the
plain of Shinar by the River Euphrates many generations after the deluge. At the time of the
construction of Babylon at the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1-4), mankind had multiplied and
spoken one language. Cush who was the son of Ham and grandson of Noah (Genesis 10:1, 6),
helped to plan with his son Nimrod, a blueprint by which to rule the world of humanity through a
wicked counterfeit religion. Nimrod was the originator of sun worship and founder of Babylon. A
Bible translation called the Targum says, “Nimrod became a mighty man of sin, a murderer of
innocent men, and a rebel before the Lord.”

The beginning of Nimrod's evil plan had its origin at Babel which was later known as Babylon.
This city of Babylon with a tower “whose top may reach unto heaven” was built by Nimrod

(Genesis 10:8-10; 11:4). They called the

tower “Babel, the gate to heaven,” but God called it what it was which was, “Babel, confusion,” for
there God confused the language of the people which forced them to scatter. This heaven defying
group of people wanted one government to rule the world and one religion to sway the hearts of
mankind. This was Satan's attempt to defy God and His authority and the ring leader of his
scheme was Nimrod. But God came down and stopped this world wide rebellion at Babel, in
defiance of His command for mankind to replenish the earth (Genesis 9:1) by confusing their
language into many languages so they could not understand one another's speech. Mankind
discontinued the building of Babel and were scattered to different parts of the world (Genesis
11:8-9).

Nimrod had a plan to weld together and strengthen this evil religious system and so he married
his own mother who was Semiramis. She was the first deified queen of Babylon and Nimrod was
the first deified king. Semiramis was as wicked as her son Nimrod, and as much sold out to Satan
and devil worship as did he. Incest was used here as a basis to unite this newly false religious
system. Nimrod and his mother/wife would be greatly used by Satan in the following centuries to
send countless millions and even billions of souls to hell.

Satan's plan was to develop a counterfeit, opposition system of religion to attract worship away
from the true God of Heaven. This false system had its sacrificial plan just as God had a plan of
sacrifice. But Satan's pagan worship required the offering up of human beings, which was often
the sons and daughters of the worshipers. A counterfeit holy day was instituted in honor of the
sun god, (Sun-day) and this was designed by Satan to rob God of his peculiar authority as the
Creator of the universe as designated by His Holy day the Sabbath.

Have you noticed how occult symbols are typically reversed? Example: The occult symbol for a
cross is an inverted cross. Most have never noticed that God uses the 6:1 principle. That is, you
have 6 of something normal and then on the 7th something special happens. Example: God
created the world in 6 days and the 7th is a special day of rest and worship. Crops were grown for
 6 years and the 7th year the land was rested. Slaves were kept for 6 years and were to be set free
on the 7th year. There are 6 weeks from Passover to the 7th week being Pentecost. There are 6
months from Passover to the 7th month being the Day of Atonement. Bible chronologists say we
are currently approaching the end of 6000 years since creation and if Christ returns at the end of
6000 years, we will then have the 7000th year being the 1000 year millennial reign. (See
Revelation 20:1-15) So 6000 years + 1000 years (millennium) = 7000 years. None of this is by
chance and is God's plan. Observe the days of the week below.

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday

Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5

The first six days are normal but the 7th day is the “Sabbath of the Lord thy God.” Remember that
the occult uses the reverse symbol or is the opposite (in opposition) to God. So if Sunday was
Satan's plan for a day of worship, and we have seen historically that it is, then his week would be
the reverse of God's week. Instead of being the 6:1 principle it would be 1:6. As seen from the
table below, this is the case and so it is not just two days side by side. It is the occult equivalent
and this is not by chance but Satan's choice.

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday T

Counterfeit Sabbath Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 D

We are fast approaching 6000 years (last generation now) and if Jesus comes at the end of 6000
years we would then have a 1000 year Sabbath. A thousands years a day just as God said. 2
Peter 3:8 “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a
thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” Six days work and the Seventh day rest. This
Earth's history may end up being a mirror image of the creation week but with a thousand years to
a day. That would put a whole new perspective on the meaning of the Sabbath now that is for
sure. 6000 years of working and a 1000 years of rest. God does love doing things in numbers!

Nimrod's and Semiramis' followers plunged so deeply into sin and the occult that they even
sacrificed babies to Satan in their worship of him. This became a common practice until Shem
who was one of Noah's three sons and the great uncle of Nimrod, in his anger and wrath killed
Nimrod and cut him up into small pieces as an example to others not to commit such abominable
sins and not to follow such evil religious practices. (Shem was a godly man and it was through his
seed the Messiah would come.)

Alexander Hislop in his book The Two Babylons said, , “the Tower of Babel was actually the
worship of Satan in the form of fire, the sun and the serpent. However, Satan worship could not be
done openly because of the many who still believed in the true God of Noah. So a mystery religion
began at Babel where Satan could be worshipped in secret.” – Alexander Hislop, The Two
Babylons, 2nd American ed.(Neptune, New Jersey: Loizeaux Brothers, 1959)

Because of Nimrod's death, the followers of Nimrod and Semiramis were stunned and
experienced much grief. Their religious hero was dead. They were afraid to continue in their
worship of Satan for fear that what happened to Nimrod would also happen to them, so a mystery
religion developed at Babel where Satan could be worshipped in secret. This is exactly what is
happening in these last days. Satan is using mysteries and deceptions to deceive people into
thinking that they are worshipping God when they are actually worshipping Satan.

For a short time the practices of this counterfeit religion ceased but Semiramis, the wife of
Nimrod, had a brilliant idea of how she could successfully revive her and Nimrod's pagan religion
and give it a new form. It was not long after the death of her husband that Semiramis became
pregnant. She said that when Nimrod died that he went up to the sun, and the sun then became a
symbol of Nimrod. She told the people that a ray of the sun had come to her and impregnated her
with a child and that it was actually Nimrod coming back in a reincarnation of the sun god. The
child was called Tammuz and these three were worshipped as the personification of the sun god,
and this is where we find the three in one trinity doctrine originated and is where the first three
came into existence. This mystery religion was nothing more than Satan worship. Read the
pagan origins of the trinity doctrine for more.

“The trinity got its start in Ancient Babylon with Nimrod - Tammuz - and Semiramis. Semiramis
demanded worship for both her husband and her son as well as herself. She claimed that her son,
was both the father and the son. Yes, he was “god the father” and “god the son” - The first divine
incomprehensible trinity.” – The Two Babylons; Alexander Hislop, p.51

So Semiramis proclaimed that her husband Nimrod was a god, and she as the wife of Nimrod
was a goddess. She then announced herself to be “The Queen of Heaven” and that she should
be worshiped as such. She claimed that her spirit was the moon and when she died she would
dwell in the moon, even as Nimrod was already in the sun. What a devilish brainstorm inspired by
Satan!

Satan was laying the foundation for every system of falsehood and error the world has ever
known. They took the truth of God and turned it into a lie and “worshipped and served the creature
(on a wider application also includes Satan) more than the Creator.” Romans 1:25. This system of
paganism, while professing to be the true religion, is actually devil worship. It professes and
claims to be the truth of God but in reality it is Satan's masterpiece, the “mystery of iniquity.”

As Satan's church gained momentum, Semiramis pushed this satanic religious order
underground. The followers of this counterfeit religion had to take secret oaths. The secret
societies (some unscriptural lodges of today) thus had their beginning. The confessionals and
priesthood were set up. The followers of this pagan religion confessed their sins to their priests.
(what church continued this unbiblical pagan tradition?) See also 1 Timothy 2:5, Luke 5:20-21. By
so doing, Semiramis could control her followers and exercise lordship over them. She boldly and
brazenly proclaimed that she and her priests were the only ones who understood the mysteries of
God and that they were the only possible way to God. Because of dedication to and fear of this
false religious system, the followers of this religion fearfully complied.

Semiramis and her priests of Satan were deep into the occult, magic and illusion. They were
masters of lies and deception. Everywhere there were statues or idols of this mother/child cult.
Semiramis was soon hailed as “The Queen of Heaven” (Ashtarte). Her symbol became the moon
and her husband Nimrod, was called “Baal” (the “sun god”) and his symbol became the sun. The
city of Babylon was the seat of Satan worship until its fall to the Medes and the Persians in 539
BC. At this time the Babylonian pagan priests left Babylon and went to Alexandria and Pergamos.
See who is the beast that has the number 666 or the origin of 666 for more.

It should be noted that the majority of the Babylonian pagan priests went to Pergamos more so
than Alexandria, so for many centuries after the fall of Babylon, Pergamos became the new seat
of Satan (Revelation 2:12-13), but around 129 BC, opportunity arose for them to leave Pergamos
and go to Rome and thus Rome became the final seat of Satan where he set up his church, and
hence sun worship, which was practised on Sunday, was most prevalent in Alexandria and Rome
by the time of Christ.

Church historian Socrates Scholasticus (5th century) wrote: “For although almost all churches
throughout the world celebrate the sacred mysteries [of the Lord's Supper] on the Sabbath of
every week, yet the Christians of Alexandria and at Rome, on account of some ancient tradition,
have ceased to do this.” – Socrates Scholasticus, Ecclesiastical History, Book 5, ch. 22.

So Baal worship was in full swing. It caught on fast and spread to many parts of the world. In
Egypt, Semiramis became known as “Isis”, “The Queen of Heaven.” Nimrod became known as
“Osiris”, the husband/son, and frequently called “Horus” (the sun god). In Phoenicia, Semiramis
and Nimrod were worshipped as or known as Ashterath and Tammuz; in Greece, Aphrodite and
Eros; in Rome, Venus and Cupid, and in China, Mother Shing Moo and her child.

When the cold season began every year, they believed their sun god was leaving them. It was on
December 25th that they noticed the gradual return of the sun god. So they called this day the
birth of the sun. Tammuz was hailed as the son of the sun. He was idolized and even worshipped
and the first letter of his name became the symbol of sun worship. Human sacrifices to the sun
 god were offered on this initial letter made of wood, known as the cross “T” and this “T” for
Tammuz is also the true origin of Catholics crossing themselves. His birthday of December 25
was honored more and more. Satan worked many years before the conception and birth of the
true Messiah to counterfeit through sun worship His miraculous conception and birth. Satan
succeeded many times in leading God's people into sin and pagan sun worship.

The true date of the birth of Christ is most likely between July and September but since the exact
date of Christ's birthday was unknown, it was suggested, “Why not call it the same date as the
birth of Tammuz, which was December 25?” This was the time when the sun had reached its
lowest point on the horizon and started back up into the heavens and so the sun god had come to
life, so to speak. So gradually December 25 came to be known as the birthday of Christ. The
Papal Church finally instituted a special mass on that day, “Christ's Mass,” and so December 25
became “Christmas.” The yule log burning in the fire followed by the green tree lit with candles all
came from the pagan worship representing Nimrod being dead, while his spirit still lived on in the
sun and was alive again in Tammuz his son.

Jesus was crucified and resurrected in the spring of the year near the time of the moon festival.
The devil was at work once again to bring the idea of having a celebration at the same time as the
heathen but calling it “in honor of the resurrection.” And in regards to the worship of the moon
goddess Semiramis, the so called queen of heaven. The cakes to the QUEEN OF HEAVEN were
round and on them was cut a cross in honor of the sun god, and they were offered to the queen of
heaven and today we call them “hot cross buns.” (Read Jeremiah 7:16-18). The forty days of
“weeping for Tammuz” became Lent and at the close of Lent came Easter Sunday. The prophet
Ezekiel was shown even greater abominations. (Read Ezekiel 8:12-18). This goddess Ishtar
(Easter) came to be known as the goddess of springtime as in “new life,” or as history records it,
the “goddess of reproduction.” The pagans would go to some mountain side early Sunday
morning and worship this goddess as the sun was rising in the east. They gave themselves to
immorality and indecency of every description. The eggs and rabbits were used as symbols of
fertility and germination and hence “new life.” It all came into the Church gradually and was all
blessed by the Catholic Church and given to the world. And some people wonder why God calls
the Catholic Church Babylon!

“The use of temples, and these dedicated to particular saints, and ornamented on occasions with
branches of trees; incense, lamps, and candles; votive offerings on recovery from illness; holy
water; asylums; holydays and seasons, use of calendars, processions, blessings on the fields;
sacerdotal vestments, the tonsure, the ring in marriage, turning to the East, images at a later date,
perhaps the ecclesiastical chant, and the Kyrie Eleison are all of pagan origin, and sanctified by
their adoption into the Church.” — An Essay on The Development of the Christian Doctrine John
Henry “Cardinal Newman” p.373.

“It has often been charged… that Catholicism is overlaid with many pagan incrustations.
Catholicism is ready to accept that accusation and even to make it her boast… the great god Pan
is not really dead, he is baptized” — The Story of Catholicism p 37.

As time elapsed, stories spread worldwide about Semiramis and Nimrod as Baal worship was
everywhere. (The above information on the beginning of Satan's church and its unscriptural
practices is found in The Two Babylons, by Rev. Alexander Hislop) In his book he has composed
a list of names adopted in other parts of the world that can be traced back to Semiramis and
Nimrod in one way or another. The list of names are as follows:

SEMIRAMIS or Ashtarte

Cybele (Goddess Mother) Asia Deoius (Asia)

Fortuna (Pagan Rome) The Boy Jupiter

Satan pulled it off well as he had the whole world trapped into some form of Baal worship. The
entire world had lapsed into polytheism (worship of many gods or idols). Mankind no longer
desired to serve the true and living God and to accept His scriptural plan of salvation. (Romans
1:18-32).

Around 2000 BC in Abraham's day, Baal worship and its pagan rites had so permeated the
human race that God called Abraham out from it to be the progenitor of a nation of people (the
Israelites or Jews) who would be instructed by God through Moses and the prophets to be a
shining light and an example of godliness to the heathen nations and reveal to them God's
scriptural plan of salvation (Genesis 11:26-12: 1-5; Exodus 19:5-6; Hebrews 11:8).

The Jews were greatly blessed by God as His chosen people, who were to serve as His
representatives of godliness to those heathen nations who had become entrapped by paganism,
to evangelize those godless nations and to show them God's love. The Jews were repeatedly told
that if they were to sin by serving other gods, to depart from the Lord and fail God in their mission
as His representatives to those nations trapped in Baal worship, the Jews would suffer terribly at
the hand of God and be dispersed into all the nations of the earth. (See Deuteronomy 4:1-40;
6:14-18; 7:6-26; 8:6-20; 10:12-20; 11:1-28; 12:28-32; 29:16-29; 30:11-20).

Before his death, Moses foretold that after his death the Jews would disobey and turn to other
“gods” to worship and serve them (Deuteronomy 31:27, 29; 32:16-29). After Moses' death,
Joshua took command and led the children of Israel across the River Jordan into Palestine. The
Jews were ordered to exterminate the Canaanites of the land because they were so wicked and
so deeply involved in the evil practices of Baal worship, and to take the land as their dwelling to be
used for the glory of God in leading the ungodly nations to God and His plan of redemption. The
Jews took the land and exterminated some of the inhabitants of the land but not all. The Jews
here had already begun to disobey God. They soon became weary in their conquests of Palestine
and stopped fighting. Soon afterwards the Israelites departed from their worship of the Lord and
started to worship and serve other gods as Moses had predicted. The Jews soon became so
involved in Baal worship and its pagan practices that some of them even sacrificed their children
to Satan.
 Because of their disobedience to God's command to be faithful in their worship of and service to
the true and living God, the Jews would have to suffer. On many occasions God allowed the
children of Israel to be captured by their enemies and to be persecuted. When the Jews cried out
to God in sorrow for their sins, the Lord delivered them. The Lord raised up Judges to secure their
deliverances. After each time the Lord brought about the deliverance of the captured, suffering
children of Israel, the Jews would plunge back into sin and Baal worship. As time passed the
Jews became even more involved in pagan worship in spite of God's warnings and chastisements.
God raised up prophets to warn the Israelites to repent or suffer more. Prophet after prophet was
raised up for that purpose and many of them were executed by the Jews. In 722 BC the ten
Northern tribes were captured by the Assyrians and scattered never to return, and in 586 BC the
Babylonians captured Judah and Jerusalem. This was the third time Babylon came up against
them but this time brought about their total destruction as everything was torn down. After the
Babylonian captivity in 539 BC at which time Babylon had fallen to the Persians, the Persians
granted the Jews in Babylon permission to return to Jerusalem.

Many Jews did return to Palestine during the years 539 BC, 457 BC and 445 BC. Others
doubtless returned between those years and after 445 BC. Read also Daniel's 70 weeks
prophecy. In 70 AD the Romans under General Titus captured Jerusalem and persecuted the
Jews. The Jews final dispersion took place at this time. After 70 AD, the Jews had been dispersed
into all the nations of the world to suffer. Nearly all nations who had received Jews eventually
turned on them and persecuted them. The Jews have been the most hated and persecuted
people in history and have suffered more than any other people. They disobeyed God and they
had to suffer as God said they would.

When the Roman Empire was in power during the earthly life of Jesus and during the early
Church period, the Roman Caesars were to be worshipped as gods. The early Christians were
persecuted by the Romans because they would not bow down to the pagan Caesars. Satan
directed this persecution of the early believers in an effort to stamp out Christianity. But instead of
wiping out Christianity, persecution resulted in its growth! As more Christians were put to death,
more and more Christians rose up to replace them. Satan saw that his directed persecution of the
early believers would not obliterate Christianity so he moved to attack the Church from within
instead of from without.

Satan devised a plan by which he would lay the foundation for and establish his own counterfeit
church. Under Satan's direction paganism would get a new face. Satan would introduce to the
world his own version of a “Christian Church.” As was indicated earlier, the Caesars were
worshipped as gods. As the Roman Empire was near disintegration, the pagan Caesars did not
want to lose their power in controlling the world, so they decided on a plan by which to keep their
power and influence in the world. The Roman Caesars simply exchanged their Roman togas for
religious costumes. Thus they could control the world's governments and their economies through
religion.

After Constantine defeated Maxentius in 312 AD in a battle for the throne of Rome, Satan
continued in his clever plan to build his own version of a “Christian Church.” After his ascension to
the Roman Throne, Constantine issued his Edict of Toleration in 313 AD to stop the persecution
of the true believers in Christ. Under Constantine the Christian Church for a time found relief from
persecution. Satan had now temporarily stopped his persecution of the Christian Church from
without, but he would now proceed to attack the Church from within.

Under Satan's direction, Constantine set up the “Council of Nicaea” and presided as “Summus
Pontifex”, the official title of a Pope. Constantine's job was to mix paganism with a perverted form
of Christianity to make his new religious organization look respectable. This mixture of paganism
with some of the teaching of Christ was Satan's version of a “Christian Church.” This powerful
 religious institution would be later used by Satan to send millions of souls to hell and to cause the

deaths of many Bible believing Christians.

Many changes took place in this Babylonian pagan church. Under Constantine, the pagans were
permitted to bring their statues and idols of Semiramis, “The Queen of Heaven”, and Nimrod,
“Baal”, “The Sun God', into the Church. The names were changed to the Virgin Mary, “Queen of
Heaven” and little Jesus, “The Sun God.” For example: Is this Catholic image Mary and baby
Jesus or is it Semiramis, “The Queen of Heaven” and son Nimrod/Tammuz? Note the pagan
trident symbol from the head of what is supposedly baby Jesus and that the hand is displayed
with two fingers and a thumb prominent, being another way of symbolizing the trident and is a
Satanic hand sign symbolic of occult powers. This is also used by high Church officials and
priests in blessings invoking the sign of the cross by motioning their right hand with two fingers
and thumb casually extended. It is also found in freemasonry of which origins can be found in the
Catholic Church. The Catholic Church erroneously say that Peter was the first so called Pope of
this Papal system but in fact it was really Constantine. So under Constantine as its first Pope, the
Roman Catholic Institution as we know it today had its beginning. See also paganism in the
Catholic Church and Catholic Church error and was Peter the first Pope.

The Roman Catholic Church grew in power as the people in Rome were again under the priests
and each succeeding Pope. Constantine had fifty Bibles made of perverted manuscripts
composed by pagan worshippers of Baal from Alexandria. Alexandria was not only the seat of
Baal worship but was also the headquarters of the most liberal philosophers. Those wicked
philosophers produced their own perverted version of a Bible, and fifty such copies were made for
Constantine to be given to the new “Church” over which he presided. The Latin Vulgate, authored
by Jerome and based on the above fifty Bibles, later became the Roman Catholic Bible, which
was kept from the people so that unscriptural traditions would have greater emphasis in the minds
of the followers of the Pope.

The above information can be found in the books, The Two Babylons by Alexander Hislop and
the Angel of Light by Jack Chick. Alexander Hislop in his book also traces Roman Catholic
sacraments, ceremonies, doctrines, confessionals, priesthood, etc. back to ancient Babylonian
Baal worship. Roman Catholicism is based on ancient Babylonian Baal worship and on the man
made traditions of the Church fathers. Catholicism is not based on the teachings of God's Word or
on the Scriptural plan of salvation. So we find Satan had a long term plan for his church and sun
worship, which was practiced on Sunday, and was initially most prevalent in Alexandria and
Rome. From this pagan sun worship came both the trinity doctrine and Sunday worship. Too
many people are too quick to write off the fourth Commandment as unimportant when it obviously
is. Please read who is the Antichrist for the evidence and watch The god's of Babylon for the
pagan origins of the trinity doctrine.

The Origin of Sun Worship, Trinity, Babylon and Sunday

Worship
 Satan's church had its beginning at Babylon with the construction of the Tower of Babel on the
plain of Shinar by the River Euphrates many generations after the deluge. At the time of the
construction of Babylon at the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1-4), mankind had multiplied and
spoken one language. Cush who was the son of Ham and grandson of Noah (Genesis 10:1, 6),
helped to plan with his son Nimrod, a blueprint by which to rule the world of humanity through a
wicked counterfeit religion. Nimrod was the originator of sun worship and founder of Babylon. A
Bible translation called the Targum says, “Nimrod became a mighty man of sin, a murderer of
innocent men, and a rebel before the Lord.”

The beginning of Nimrod's evil plan had its origin at Babel which was later known as Babylon.
This city of Babylon with a tower “whose top may reach unto heaven” was built by Nimrod

(Genesis 10:8-10; 11:4). They called the

tower “Babel, the gate to heaven,” but God called it what it was which was, “Babel, confusion,” for
there God confused the language of the people which forced them to scatter. This heaven defying
group of people wanted one government to rule the world and one religion to sway the hearts of
mankind. This was Satan's attempt to defy God and His authority and the ring leader of his
scheme was Nimrod. But God came down and stopped this world wide rebellion at Babel, in
defiance of His command for mankind to replenish the earth (Genesis 9:1) by confusing their
language into many languages so they could not understand one another's speech. Mankind
discontinued the building of Babel and were scattered to different parts of the world (Genesis
11:8-9).

Nimrod had a plan to weld together and strengthen this evil religious system and so he married
his own mother who was Semiramis. She was the first deified queen of Babylon and Nimrod was
the first deified king. Semiramis was as wicked as her son Nimrod, and as much sold out to Satan
and devil worship as did he. Incest was used here as a basis to unite this newly false religious
system. Nimrod and his mother/wife would be greatly used by Satan in the following centuries to
send countless millions and even billions of souls to hell.

Satan's plan was to develop a counterfeit, opposition system of religion to attract worship away
from the true God of Heaven. This false system had its sacrificial plan just as God had a plan of
sacrifice. But Satan's pagan worship required the offering up of human beings, which was often
the sons and daughters of the worshipers. A counterfeit holy day was instituted in honor of the
sun god, (Sun-day) and this was designed by Satan to rob God of his peculiar authority as the
Creator of the universe as designated by His Holy day the Sabbath.

Have you noticed how occult symbols are typically reversed? Example: The occult symbol for a
cross is an inverted cross. Most have never noticed that God uses the 6:1 principle. That is, you
have 6 of something normal and then on the 7th something special happens. Example: God
created the world in 6 days and the 7th is a special day of rest and worship. Crops were grown for
6 years and the 7th year the land was rested. Slaves were kept for 6 years and were to be set free
on the 7th year. There are 6 weeks from Passover to the 7th week being Pentecost. There are 6
months from Passover to the 7th month being the Day of Atonement. Bible chronologists say we
are currently approaching the end of 6000 years since creation and if Christ returns at the end of
6000 years, we will then have the 7000th year being the 1000 year millennial reign. (See
 Revelation 20:1-15) So 6000 years + 1000 years (millennium) = 7000 years. None of this is by
chance and is God's plan. Observe the days of the week below.

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday

Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5

The first six days are normal but the 7th day is the “Sabbath of the Lord thy God.” Remember that
the occult uses the reverse symbol or is the opposite (in opposition) to God. So if Sunday was
Satan's plan for a day of worship, and we have seen historically that it is, then his week would be
the reverse of God's week. Instead of being the 6:1 principle it would be 1:6. As seen from the
table below, this is the case and so it is not just two days side by side. It is the occult equivalent
and this is not by chance but Satan's choice.

Counterfeit Sabbath Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 D

We are fast approaching 6000 years (last generation now) and if Jesus comes at the end of 6000
years we would then have a 1000 year Sabbath. A thousands years a day just as God said. 2
Peter 3:8 “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a
thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” Six days work and the Seventh day rest. This
Earth's history may end up being a mirror image of the creation week but with a thousand years to
a day. That would put a whole new perspective on the meaning of the Sabbath now that is for
sure. 6000 years of working and a 1000 years of rest. God does love doing things in numbers!

Nimrod's and Semiramis' followers plunged so deeply into sin and the occult that they even
sacrificed babies to Satan in their worship of him. This became a common practice until Shem
who was one of Noah's three sons and the great uncle of Nimrod, in his anger and wrath killed
Nimrod and cut him up into small pieces as an example to others not to commit such abominable
sins and not to follow such evil religious practices. (Shem was a godly man and it was through his
seed the Messiah would come.)

Alexander Hislop in his book The Two Babylons said, , “the Tower of Babel was actually the
worship of Satan in the form of fire, the sun and the serpent. However, Satan worship could not be
done openly because of the many who still believed in the true God of Noah. So a mystery religion
began at Babel where Satan could be worshipped in secret.” – Alexander Hislop, The Two
Babylons, 2nd American ed.(Neptune, New Jersey: Loizeaux Brothers, 1959)

Because of Nimrod's death, the followers of Nimrod and Semiramis were stunned and
experienced much grief. Their religious hero was dead. They were afraid to continue in their
worship of Satan for fear that what happened to Nimrod would also happen to them, so a mystery
religion developed at Babel where Satan could be worshipped in secret. This is exactly what is
happening in these last days. Satan is using mysteries and deceptions to deceive people into
thinking that they are worshipping God when they are actually worshipping Satan.

For a short time the practices of this counterfeit religion ceased but Semiramis, the wife of
Nimrod, had a brilliant idea of how she could successfully revive her and Nimrod's pagan religion
and give it a new form. It was not long after the death of her husband that Semiramis became
pregnant. She said that when Nimrod died that he went up to the sun, and the sun then became a
symbol of Nimrod. She told the people that a ray of the sun had come to her and impregnated her
with a child and that it was actually Nimrod coming back in a reincarnation of the sun god. The
child was called Tammuz and these three were worshipped as the personification of the sun god,
and this is where we find the three in one trinity doctrine originated and is where the first three
came into existence. This mystery religion was nothing more than Satan worship. Read the
pagan origins of the trinity doctrine for more.
 “The trinity got its start in Ancient Babylon with Nimrod - Tammuz - and Semiramis. Semiramis
demanded worship for both her husband and her son as well as herself. She claimed that her son,
was both the father and the son. Yes, he was “god the father” and “god the son” - The first divine
incomprehensible trinity.” – The Two Babylons; Alexander Hislop, p.51

So Semiramis proclaimed that her husband Nimrod was a god, and she as the wife of Nimrod
was a goddess. She then announced herself to be “The Queen of Heaven” and that she should
be worshiped as such. She claimed that her spirit was the moon and when she died she would
dwell in the moon, even as Nimrod was already in the sun. What a devilish brainstorm inspired by
Satan!

Satan was laying the foundation for every system of falsehood and error the world has ever
known. They took the truth of God and turned it into a lie and “worshipped and served the creature
(on a wider application also includes Satan) more than the Creator.” Romans 1:25. This system of
paganism, while professing to be the true religion, is actually devil worship. It professes and
claims to be the truth of God but in reality it is Satan's masterpiece, the “mystery of iniquity.”

As Satan's church gained momentum, Semiramis pushed this satanic religious order
underground. The followers of this counterfeit religion had to take secret oaths. The secret
societies (some unscriptural lodges of today) thus had their beginning. The confessionals and
priesthood were set up. The followers of this pagan religion confessed their sins to their priests.
(what church continued this unbiblical pagan tradition?) See also 1 Timothy 2:5, Luke 5:20-21. By
so doing, Semiramis could control her followers and exercise lordship over them. She boldly and
brazenly proclaimed that she and her priests were the only ones who understood the mysteries of
God and that they were the only possible way to God. Because of dedication to and fear of this
false religious system, the followers of this religion fearfully complied.

Semiramis and her priests of Satan were deep into the occult, magic and illusion. They were
masters of lies and deception. Everywhere there were statues or idols of this mother/child cult.
Semiramis was soon hailed as “The Queen of Heaven” (Ashtarte). Her symbol became the moon
and her husband Nimrod, was called “Baal” (the “sun god”) and his symbol became the sun. The
city of Babylon was the seat of Satan worship until its fall to the Medes and the Persians in 539
BC. At this time the Babylonian pagan priests left Babylon and went to Alexandria and Pergamos.
See who is the beast that has the number 666 or the origin of 666 for more.

It should be noted that the majority of the Babylonian pagan priests went to Pergamos more so
than Alexandria, so for many centuries after the fall of Babylon, Pergamos became the new seat
of Satan (Revelation 2:12-13), but around 129 BC, opportunity arose for them to leave Pergamos
and go to Rome and thus Rome became the final seat of Satan where he set up his church, and
hence sun worship, which was practised on Sunday, was most prevalent in Alexandria and Rome
by the time of Christ.

Church historian Socrates Scholasticus (5th century) wrote: “For although almost all churches
throughout the world celebrate the sacred mysteries [of the Lord's Supper] on the Sabbath of
every week, yet the Christians of Alexandria and at Rome, on account of some ancient tradition,
have ceased to do this.” – Socrates Scholasticus, Ecclesiastical History, Book 5, ch. 22.

So Baal worship was in full swing. It caught on fast and spread to many parts of the world. In
Egypt, Semiramis became known as “Isis”, “The Queen of Heaven.” Nimrod became known as
“Osiris”, the husband/son, and frequently called “Horus” (the sun god). In Phoenicia, Semiramis
and Nimrod were worshipped as or known as Ashterath and Tammuz; in Greece, Aphrodite and
Eros; in Rome, Venus and Cupid, and in China, Mother Shing Moo and her child.

When the cold season began every year, they believed their sun god was leaving them. It was on
December 25th that they noticed the gradual return of the sun god. So they called this day the
birth of the sun. Tammuz was hailed as the son of the sun. He was idolized and even worshipped
and the first letter of his name became the symbol of sun worship. Human sacrifices to the sun
god were offered on this initial letter made of wood, known as the cross “T” and this “T” for
Tammuz is also the true origin of Catholics crossing themselves. His birthday of December 25
was honored more and more. Satan worked many years before the conception and birth of the
 true Messiah to counterfeit through sun worship His miraculous conception and birth. Satan
succeeded many times in leading God's people into sin and pagan sun worship.

The true date of the birth of Christ is most likely between July and September but since the exact
date of Christ's birthday was unknown, it was suggested, “Why not call it the same date as the
birth of Tammuz, which was December 25?” This was the time when the sun had reached its
lowest point on the horizon and started back up into the heavens and so the sun god had come to
life, so to speak. So gradually December 25 came to be known as the birthday of Christ. The
Papal Church finally instituted a special mass on that day, “Christ's Mass,” and so December 25
became “Christmas.” The yule log burning in the fire followed by the green tree lit with candles all
came from the pagan worship representing Nimrod being dead, while his spirit still lived on in the
sun and was alive again in Tammuz his son.

Jesus was crucified and resurrected in the spring of the year near the time of the moon festival.
The devil was at work once again to bring the idea of having a celebration at the same time as the
heathen but calling it “in honor of the resurrection.” And in regards to the worship of the moon
goddess Semiramis, the so called queen of heaven. The cakes to the QUEEN OF HEAVEN were
round and on them was cut a cross in honor of the sun god, and they were offered to the queen of
heaven and today we call them “hot cross buns.” (Read Jeremiah 7:16-18). The forty days of
“weeping for Tammuz” became Lent and at the close of Lent came Easter Sunday. The prophet
Ezekiel was shown even greater abominations. (Read Ezekiel 8:12-18). This goddess Ishtar
(Easter) came to be known as the goddess of springtime as in “new life,” or as history records it,
the “goddess of reproduction.” The pagans would go to some mountain side early Sunday
morning and worship this goddess as the sun was rising in the east. They gave themselves to
immorality and indecency of every description. The eggs and rabbits were used as symbols of
fertility and germination and hence “new life.” It all came into the Church gradually and was all
blessed by the Catholic Church and given to the world. And some people wonder why God calls
the Catholic Church Babylon!

“The use of temples, and these dedicated to particular saints, and ornamented on occasions with
branches of trees; incense, lamps, and candles; votive offerings on recovery from illness; holy
water; asylums; holydays and seasons, use of calendars, processions, blessings on the fields;
sacerdotal vestments, the tonsure, the ring in marriage, turning to the East, images at a later date,
perhaps the ecclesiastical chant, and the Kyrie Eleison are all of pagan origin, and sanctified by
their adoption into the Church.” — An Essay on The Development of the Christian Doctrine John
Henry “Cardinal Newman” p.373.

“It has often been charged… that Catholicism is overlaid with many pagan incrustations.
Catholicism is ready to accept that accusation and even to make it her boast… the great god Pan
is not really dead, he is baptized” — The Story of Catholicism p 37.

As time elapsed, stories spread worldwide about Semiramis and Nimrod as Baal worship was
everywhere. (The above information on the beginning of Satan's church and its unscriptural
practices is found in The Two Babylons, by Rev. Alexander Hislop) In his book he has composed
a list of names adopted in other parts of the world that can be traced back to Semiramis and
Nimrod in one way or another. The list of names are as follows:

SEMIRAMIS or Ashtarte

Cybele (Goddess Mother) Asia Deoius (Asia)

Fortuna (Pagan Rome) The Boy Jupiter

Isis (The Queen of Heaven) Egypt Osiris or Horus

Satan pulled it off well as he had the whole world trapped into some form of Baal worship. The
entire world had lapsed into polytheism (worship of many gods or idols). Mankind no longer
desired to serve the true and living God and to accept His scriptural plan of salvation. (Romans
1:18-32).

Around 2000 BC in Abraham's day, Baal worship and its pagan rites had so permeated the
human race that God called Abraham out from it to be the progenitor of a nation of people (the
Israelites or Jews) who would be instructed by God through Moses and the prophets to be a
shining light and an example of godliness to the heathen nations and reveal to them God's
scriptural plan of salvation (Genesis 11:26-12: 1-5; Exodus 19:5-6; Hebrews 11:8).

The Jews were greatly blessed by God as His chosen people, who were to serve as His
representatives of godliness to those heathen nations who had become entrapped by paganism,
to evangelize those godless nations and to show them God's love. The Jews were repeatedly told
that if they were to sin by serving other gods, to depart from the Lord and fail God in their mission
as His representatives to those nations trapped in Baal worship, the Jews would suffer terribly at
the hand of God and be dispersed into all the nations of the earth. (See Deuteronomy 4:1-40;
6:14-18; 7:6-26; 8:6-20; 10:12-20; 11:1-28; 12:28-32; 29:16-29; 30:11-20).

Before his death, Moses foretold that after his death the Jews would disobey and turn to other
“gods” to worship and serve them (Deuteronomy 31:27, 29; 32:16-29). After Moses' death,
Joshua took command and led the children of Israel across the River Jordan into Palestine. The
Jews were ordered to exterminate the Canaanites of the land because they were so wicked and
so deeply involved in the evil practices of Baal worship, and to take the land as their dwelling to be
used for the glory of God in leading the ungodly nations to God and His plan of redemption. The
Jews took the land and exterminated some of the inhabitants of the land but not all. The Jews
here had already begun to disobey God. They soon became weary in their conquests of Palestine
and stopped fighting. Soon afterwards the Israelites departed from their worship of the Lord and
started to worship and serve other gods as Moses had predicted. The Jews soon became so
involved in Baal worship and its pagan practices that some of them even sacrificed their children
to Satan.

Because of their disobedience to God's command to be faithful in their worship of and service to
the true and living God, the Jews would have to suffer. On many occasions God allowed the
children of Israel to be captured by their enemies and to be persecuted. When the Jews cried out
to God in sorrow for their sins, the Lord delivered them. The Lord raised up Judges to secure their
deliverances. After each time the Lord brought about the deliverance of the captured, suffering
children of Israel, the Jews would plunge back into sin and Baal worship. As time passed the
Jews became even more involved in pagan worship in spite of God's warnings and chastisements.
God raised up prophets to warn the Israelites to repent or suffer more. Prophet after prophet was
raised up for that purpose and many of them were executed by the Jews. In 722 BC the ten
Northern tribes were captured by the Assyrians and scattered never to return, and in 586 BC the
Babylonians captured Judah and Jerusalem. This was the third time Babylon came up against
them but this time brought about their total destruction as everything was torn down. After the
Babylonian captivity in 539 BC at which time Babylon had fallen to the Persians, the Persians
granted the Jews in Babylon permission to return to Jerusalem.

Many Jews did return to Palestine during the years 539 BC, 457 BC and 445 BC. Others
doubtless returned between those years and after 445 BC. Read also Daniel's 70 weeks
prophecy. In 70 AD the Romans under General Titus captured Jerusalem and persecuted the
Jews. The Jews final dispersion took place at this time. After 70 AD, the Jews had been dispersed
into all the nations of the world to suffer. Nearly all nations who had received Jews eventually
turned on them and persecuted them. The Jews have been the most hated and persecuted
people in history and have suffered more than any other people. They disobeyed God and they
had to suffer as God said they would.

When the Roman Empire was in power during the earthly life of Jesus and during the early
Church period, the Roman Caesars were to be worshipped as gods. The early Christians were
persecuted by the Romans because they would not bow down to the pagan Caesars. Satan
directed this persecution of the early believers in an effort to stamp out Christianity. But instead of
wiping out Christianity, persecution resulted in its growth! As more Christians were put to death,
more and more Christians rose up to replace them. Satan saw that his directed persecution of the
early believers would not obliterate Christianity so he moved to attack the Church from within
instead of from without.

Satan devised a plan by which he would lay the foundation for and establish his own counterfeit
church. Under Satan's direction paganism would get a new face. Satan would introduce to the
world his own version of a “Christian Church.” As was indicated earlier, the Caesars were
worshipped as gods. As the Roman Empire was near disintegration, the pagan Caesars did not
want to lose their power in controlling the world, so they decided on a plan by which to keep their
power and influence in the world. The Roman Caesars simply exchanged their Roman togas for
religious costumes. Thus they could control the world's governments and their economies through
religion.

After Constantine defeated Maxentius in 312 AD in a battle for the throne of Rome, Satan
continued in his clever plan to build his own version of a “Christian Church.” After his ascension to
the Roman Throne, Constantine issued his Edict of Toleration in 313 AD to stop the persecution
of the true believers in Christ. Under Constantine the Christian Church for a time found relief from
persecution. Satan had now temporarily stopped his persecution of the Christian Church from
without, but he would now proceed to attack the Church from within.

Under Satan's direction, Constantine set up the “Council of Nicaea” and presided as “Summus
Pontifex”, the official title of a Pope. Constantine's job was to mix paganism with a perverted form
of Christianity to make his new religious organization look respectable. This mixture of paganism
with some of the teaching of Christ was Satan's version of a “Christian Church.” This powerful
religious institution would be later used by Satan to send millions of souls to hell and to cause the

deaths of many Bible believing Christians.

Many changes took place in this Babylonian pagan church. Under Constantine, the pagans were
permitted to bring their statues and idols of Semiramis, “The Queen of Heaven”, and Nimrod,
“Baal”, “The Sun God', into the Church. The names were changed to the Virgin Mary, “Queen of
Heaven” and little Jesus, “The Sun God.” For example: Is this Catholic image Mary and baby
Jesus or is it Semiramis, “The Queen of Heaven” and son Nimrod/Tammuz? Note the pagan
trident symbol from the head of what is supposedly baby Jesus and that the hand is displayed
with two fingers and a thumb prominent, being another way of symbolizing the trident and is a
Satanic hand sign symbolic of occult powers. This is also used by high Church officials and
priests in blessings invoking the sign of the cross by motioning their right hand with two fingers
and thumb casually extended. It is also found in freemasonry of which origins can be found in the
Catholic Church. The Catholic Church erroneously say that Peter was the first so called Pope of
this Papal system but in fact it was really Constantine. So under Constantine as its first Pope, the
Roman Catholic Institution as we know it today had its beginning. See also paganism in the
Catholic Church and Catholic Church error and was Peter the first Pope.

The Roman Catholic Church grew in power as the people in Rome were again under the priests
and each succeeding Pope. Constantine had fifty Bibles made of perverted manuscripts
composed by pagan worshippers of Baal from Alexandria. Alexandria was not only the seat of
Baal worship but was also the headquarters of the most liberal philosophers. Those wicked
philosophers produced their own perverted version of a Bible, and fifty such copies were made for
Constantine to be given to the new “Church” over which he presided. The Latin Vulgate, authored
by Jerome and based on the above fifty Bibles, later became the Roman Catholic Bible, which
was kept from the people so that unscriptural traditions would have greater emphasis in the minds
of the followers of the Pope.

The above information can be found in the books, The Two Babylons by Alexander Hislop and
the Angel of Light by Jack Chick. Alexander Hislop in his book also traces Roman Catholic
sacraments, ceremonies, doctrines, confessionals, priesthood, etc. back to ancient Babylonian
Baal worship. Roman Catholicism is based on ancient Babylonian Baal worship and on the man
made traditions of the Church fathers. Catholicism is not based on the teachings of God's Word or
on the Scriptural plan of salvation. So we find Satan had a long term plan for his church and sun
worship, which was practiced on Sunday, and was initially most prevalent in Alexandria and
Rome. From this pagan sun worship came both the trinity doctrine and Sunday worship. Too
many people are too quick to write off the fourth Commandment as unimportant when it obviously
is. Please read who is the Antichrist for the evidence and watch The god's of Babylon for the
pagan origins of the trinity doctrine.
