The Pagan Trinity is a purely heathen concept, adapted by the Roman Catholic Church and sadly by other denominations as well. The accounts in regard to the death of the god worshipped in the several mysteries of the different countries are all to the same effect. Ctesias was thought to have been the best available source. His tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. Just to be clear, the concept that God is a Trinity is nowhere in the Bible. The Old Testament records the name of this fertility goddess of the Canaanites as Ashteroth (Baals counterpart Jdg. Writings of the early church and Church fathers. The aims and drives of its kings were, as a whole, of a lower nature than Babylon's, though the latter's were certainly misguided as well. They are most likely although I cannot say for certain intentionally so.

Although it was less bloody, warlike, idolatrous, and superstitious than other polytheistic religions of the region, it retained vestiges of ancient beliefs that eventually supplanted it. The Catholic Church has elevated Mary to divine status and given her titles and responsibilities reserved to God the Father and His Son! Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord: Deuteronomy 6:4 KJV, And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded; Deuteronomy 17:3 KJV, And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. Revelation 18:4 KJV. However the fact is this story is simply made up. If you use these historians literally and as factually accurate, who themselves conflated fact and fiction together and then use those works as a pure historically accurate source then you will inevitably and unavoidably draw upon a conclusion yourself that itself is in fact not historically accurate. Many historians up until the discovery of the cuneiform tablets had followed the works of Ctesias of Cnidus for Assyrian history. After victories in central Iran and in Phoenicia, he conquered Babylon in 539 BC, and his son Cambyses overthrew Egypt and Libya in 525 BC. First heading towards the Medes. Yet it is still claimed by people today that the story does relate to her. In like manner, some Catholics attribute to Mary the position and characteristics of the third person of their unscriptural trinity, the Holy Spirit. [xv] Adonai means The Lord. Greeks also knew Nimrod as Dionysus, the sin bearer,[xvi] and gave homage to him as Zeus, the savior,[xvii] and Mithras, the mediator.[xviii] The Babylonians worshipped Nimrod as El-Bar, or god, the son. Archeologists in the ancient city of Nineveh have unearthed sculptures inscribed with this name. But today modern Assyriologists have much more to go on and a completely different picture of the Assyrians and Mesopotamia as a whole has emerged. The Bible never states that Nimrod built the tower of Babel and it never mentions how or indeed when he died. She is turned into a corpse and hung on a hook. The Sumerians: Their History, Culture, and Character, by Samule Noah KramerSir Austen H Layard retrieved from the ruins of Nineveh cuneiform tablets during the 1840s and 50s. But how did Hislop from these writings where Tammuz was never the son conclude that Tammuz was the son of Nimrod and Semiramis. According to this, Shem lived 502 years after the flood, that is, according to the Hebrew chronology, till BC 1846. Hislops argument stands in need of radical revision, Dr. Bruce concludes. These counterfeit names deceptively attracted multitudes to worship Nimrod. This day was celebrated as the day Nimrod was reborn as Tammuz. Should people of this present age be concerned God might judge a world of people who have murdered millions of their children on the altar of abortion? While this all might seem like it does what it is supposed that it does, and prove that Nimrod was none other than Ninus and Semiramis was married to Ninus who was Nimrod and so therefore also proves Semiramis was indeed married to Nimrod, there are some major and irreconcilable flaws in the evidence used to prove it. So it cannot be stated that the story is a biblical one. Is God omnipresent? The first book of the Bible introduces this wicked man and his kingdom centered in Babel. As we see in the story Damuzi was to spend 6 months of the year in the underworld. The idea of inferiority seems to pass to the succeeding empires as well. Therefore Nimrod being associated with Ninus based on this fact fails. Furthermore Tammuz was not a king of Egypt and the connection between Thamus, Tammuz and Osiris is illogical and just doesn't hold up. The bible actually says that Asshur was the builder of Nineveh. To be honest that would be bad enough but its made even worse by the fact Hislop was trying to make the Bible fit a demonstrably erroneous history in the first place. The name Sammur-amat is translated Gift of the Sea. The first part of this name, Sammur, becomes Shinar when translated into Hebrew. In fact, one of her titles, as used by the present Pope, a devoted Marian, is "Queen of Heaven" (Jeremiah 7:18; 44:17-19, 25)! In some versions Tammuz is killed by a wild boar in some versions he is cut up into pieces.the cutting up into pieces and spread over the word is more often stated as to how Nimrod met his death. Hislop then dismisses the fable of Nimrod's death that is given by tradition. Anyone that uses it has not actually studied History. She tells the gatekeeper to allow Ishtar in.She must go through the 7 gates. There can be no doubt that this adoration of Mary is simply a modern manifestation of goddess worship that began over 4,000 years ago in Mesopotamia! All of which are attested to by the kings list of the Assyrians. Hislops claims are fanciful and catch the attention of those with itchy ears. [ix] Henry Morris; The Genesis Record; p. 265.

But no matter of the extent of his convictions or the nature of his intent, wrong he was and wrong he remains. Nimrod married a woman named Semiramis. Priests and astrologers obeyed her commands and aggressively marketed the mystery religion. The last book of the Bible, chapters 17 and 18, describes Gods utter destruction of Babylon in the last days. Less than 175 years ago when Alexander Hislop made this claim in his infamous book the 2 babylons. Most people will be aware of the claims made regarding Nimrod, Semiramis and Tammuz. Some of these beliefs and practices (such as Mithra's birthday, December 25; Sunday as a holy day; All Soul's Day; and heaven, hell and purgatory) were later embraced by Catholicism to counter the popularity of these cults.

(Something that he repeated throughout his writing on this subject. . called me Chaos.[vii] Chaos is the god of confusion and is derived from the name Cush. Syncellus we must note drew upon the works of Eusebius and Justinus. [xiv] Zoroastrianism rests on this foundational doctrine. Nimrod became a god-man to the people and Semiramis, his wife and mother, became the powerful Queen of ancient Babylon. Ninus returned again to Bactria to complete what he had started. With the help of Semiramis the wife of one of his men, Onnes,who having watched the ongoing battles noticed a weak spot in the defence of the opposing army and then advised Ninus on how to overcome them. She is almost certainly the amalgamation of a historical figure and Greek Goddesses created by classical Greek writers.

Gods judgment and Nimrods execution forced the mystery religion underground for a while. Then after he passed away, Semiramis declared him to be the sun god. By thee we have access to the Son, O blessed finder of grace, bearer of life, and mother of salvation. This could not be true, for we have sufficient evidence that the Tower of Babel stood long after Nimrod's day. However, polytheism began in the minds of Cush, Nimrod and Semiramis, who heavily suffused the mystery religion of Babylon with human deification. He said that Semiramis and Nimrod's incestuous male offspring was the Akkadian deity Tammuz, and that all divine pairings in religions were retellings of this story. Ishtar being yet another name and another retelling of Semiramis. Semiramis claimed that after Nimrod had died he ascended to the sun and became the sun god himself she then told the people that her son, which depending on which version is being told was conceived before Nimrod died or through an extra marital source , was the reincarnation of the sun god and that she had been impregnated by the rays of the sun.

Ninus first conquered Babylonia then Armenia and Media. Thereafter, Satan realized his time was short, for the sons destiny is to terminate Satans reign over the world of mankind. The Sumerians built the gigantic ziggurat of Etemenanki to honor their supreme god, Marduk. So this story regarding Nimrod and his wife is not in fact a biblical story. She demands that the bull of heaven be given unto her and threatens to goto the underworld and cause mayhem if her demands are not met. Clinton, who is of high authority in chronology, places the reign of Ninus somewhat earlier. [i] Diodorus of Sicily: The Library of History book VI.

Now I am almost as certain, almost is the correct word, that Hislop believed what he wrote, that he was passionate and meant no harm by his deception, I highly doubt he was aware of the fact he was wrong. He may very well have thought that the way in which he connected the dots was correct. Through assumption, comparative theology, the use of incorrect and inaccurate historical information, association, misrepresentation and a whole heap of amalgamating together numerous and unrelated ancient myths and stories based on similarities ,cherry picking pieces of information while simply ignoring others or imposing any one or any combination of the aforementioned. Ereskiga wonders why Ishtar has set her sights on her. Better than the last few have been. Semiramis became Queen of Assyria.

Ishtar, (Semiramis, widow of Nimrod, mother of Tammuz) came to be represented as the bare breasted pagan fertility goddess of the east.

However, his claims are historically, biblically and factually incorrect. A statement of Plato seems to show, that in his day the Egyptian Osiris was regarded as identical with Tammuz; * and Tammuz is well known to have been the same as Adonis, the famous HUNTSMAN, for whose death Venus is fabled to have made such bitter lamentations.

Ancient mythology depicts Semiramis as ascending to heaven as a dove, where she became the fertility and queen goddess, Inanna. Was Jesus Crucified? How Nimrod died, Scripture is entirely silent.. In verse 17, God asks, "Is it a trivial thing to the house of Judah to commit abominations which they commit here [in the Temple!]? [xi] The Phoenicians every year sacrificed their beloved and only begotten children to Kronos, or Saturn; and the Rhodesians often did the same. [xii]. As already stated there is no historical written evidence of Semiramis and Nimrod being married but that little fact did not derail Hislop. Even here though in all these myths and stories we still do not get the version given by Hislop. In relation to this, the word inferior itself ('ara') means "earth, world, ground." Semiramis has been worship under the names Ishtar, Astarte, Rhea and Isis to name just a few while Nimrod has been Ninus, Osiris and Baal.

Hislop tried desperately to explain this verse and make it seem as if it was in fact talking about Nimrod rather than Asshur, I am persuaded that the whole perplexity that commentators have hitherto felt in considering this passage, has arisen from supposing that there is a proper name in the passage, where in reality no proper name exists. However the works of Ctesias of Cnidus no longer remain in full today, they are found only in citations and epitomies of other writers such as Diodorus Siculus, Pompeius Trogus who are both cited as sources for his information by Hislop in his book and also Nicolaus, who all published writings between 36 BC and 9 AD and all of which based their chapters on Assyrian history from the writings of Ctesias in his Persika.
