Plutarch here associates this supreme god with
the Apollon of religion, while in the essay on
Isis religion, he is associated with Osiris.

Scholars
such as Michael Heiser, Ph.D. in Hebrew Bible and
Semitic Languages provide details on the study of
the Divine Council—the pantheon of divine beings
or angels who currently administer the affairs of
heaven and earth. Experts in this field of
biblical studies typically agree that, beginning
at the Tower of Babel, the world and its
inhabitants were disinherited by the sovereign God
of Israel and placed under the authority of lesser
divine beings that became corrupt and disloyal to
God in their administration of those nations
(Psalm 82). According to the theory, these beings
quickly became worshipped on earth as gods
following Babel, and because these angels, unlike
their human admirers, would continue on earth
until the end of time, each ‘spirit’ behind
the pagan attributions was known at miscellaneous
times in history and to various cultures by
different names. This certainly agrees with the
biblical definition of idolatry as the worship of
fallen angels, and means the characterization of
such spirits as “Jupiter,” “Justice,” “Osiris,”
and “Isis,” can be correctly understood to be
titles ascribed to distinct and individual
supernaturalism. The spirit behind Apollo was thus
a real personality; Osiris actually lived, and
still does. Yet Osiris could have been the same
entity known elsewhere as Apollo or Dionysus.
Numerous Greek historians, including Plutarch,
Herodotus, and Diodorus Siculus, observed Osiris
of the Egyptians and Dionysus of the Greeks as the
same god, while others found Apollo and Dionysus
to be one and the same. Since the designers of the
Great Seal of the United States incorporated the
appropriate Egyptian symbols and Roman-Greek
mottoes into the seal’s scheme to cipher a
prophecy about the return of this god—Apollo-Osiris
(aka, Nimrod)—it seems reasonable that the
occultists also perceived the two gods as
representing a singular unseen agency. As a
result, readers will benefit from understanding
the mythos behind these deities. In the
mythological records, trace-nuances, which
communicate specific traits having to do with the
nature of the entity, can be found. This is
helpful in understanding the nature of the
‘god’ that is prophesied to return.
THE BEGINNING OF
ORGANIZED MYTHOLOGY DAWNS IN SUMERIA
It was the year B.C. 3500, and the alluvial desert
of the Middle East was alive with spiritual and
physical activity. In a valley forged between the
twin rivers of the Tigris and the Euphrates,
magnificent walled cities awoke to the chatter of
busy streets and marketplaces. In what the Greeks
would later call “Mesopotamia” (between the
rivers), the world’s first great trade center
and civilization had developed. The opulent
Sumerian cities of Ur—the home of Abram—Uruk,
and Lagash, formed the economic machines of the
ancient Middle East, while industries from as far
away as Jericho near the Mediterranean Sea, and
Catal Huyuk in Asia Minor, competed for the trade
opportunities they provided. Laborers from the
biblical city of Jericho exported salt into Sumer,
and miners from Catal Huyuk prepared obsidian,
used in making mirrors, for shipment into the
ancient metropolis. But while the prehistoric
people of the East looked to the Sumerians for
their supply of daily bread, the Sumerians
themselves gazed heavenward to the early rising of
Utu (Shamash), the all-providing sun god, as he
prepared once again to ride across the sky in his
chariot. In B.C. 3500, Utu was not alone among the
gods. By now the Sumerian pantheon provided the
earliest known description of organized mythology
consisting of a complex system of more than 3,000
deities covering nearly every detail of nature and
human enterprise. There were gods of sunshine and
of rain. There were vegetation gods, fertility
gods, river gods, animal gods, and gods of the
afterlife. There were great gods—Enlil (prince
of the air), Anu (ruler of the heavens), Enki,
(the god of water), and so on. Under these existed
a second level of deities, including Nannar the
moon god, Utu the sun god, and Inanna, the
“Queen of Heaven.”
A significant question, which has puzzled scholars
and historians for more than a millenium is where
did the Sumerian deities come from? Since the
religion of Sumeria was the first known organized
mythology and would greatly influence the
foundational beliefs of Assyria, Egypt, Greece,
Rome, and others, where does one find the
beginning of their many gods? Were the Sumerian
deities the product of human imagination, or the
distortion of some earlier prehistoric revelation?
Were they the “mythologizing” of certain
ancient heros, or, as some New Age followers
suggest, the result of an extra-terrestrial
“alien” visitation whose appearance gave birth
to the legends and mythological gods? More
important, did the gods of Sumeria reflect the
emergence of an unknown power operating through
pagan dynamics, or were the gods purely the
creation of primitive imaginations?
These questions are both fascinating and difficult
since the gods and goddesses of ancient Sumeria/Mesopotamia
continue to be shrouded in a history of unknown
origins. It was as though from “out of
nowhere” the Sumerians sprang onto the scene
thousands of years ago, bringing with them the
first written language and a corpus of progressive
knowledge—from complicated religious concepts,
to an advanced understanding of astrology,
chemistry, and mathematics. The questionable
origin of the Sumerian culture has caused more
than a few orthodox theorists to conclude that
these gods, and the subsequent mythologies that
grew out of them (Assyrian, Egyptian, etc.), were
the diabolical scheme of a regressive and evil
supernatural presence. If this is true, does the
ancient power continue to work within our world?
Do primordial and living entities, once worshipped
as “gods,” coexist with modern man?
The biblical view of the origin of the pagan gods
begins with what in my second book I coined The
Original Revelation. This means there was a
perfect revelation from God to man at the time of
creation. The first man Adam was at one with God
and perceived divine knowledge from the mind of
God. The human was “in tune” with the mental
processes of God, and understood, therefore, what
God knew about science, astronomy, cosmogony,
geology, eschatology, and so on. After the fall,
Adam was “detached” from the mind of God, but
retained an imperfect memory of the divine
revelation, including knowledge of God’s plan of
redemption from the time of the fall through the
end of time and everything in between, including
Noah’s Flood, the coming of Messiah, and the
final World Empire. Two things began to occur in
the decades after the Fall: 1) information from
the original revelation became distant and
distorted as it was dispersed among the nations
and passed from generation to generation; and 2)
the realm of Satan seized upon this opportunity to
receive worship, and to turn people away from
Yahweh, by distorting and counterfeiting the
original revelation with pagan ideas and
“gods”. This point of view seems reasonable
when one considers that the earliest historical
and archeological records from civilizations
around the world consistently point back to and
repeat portions of the original story.
In their startling book, The
Discovery of Genesis, the Rev. C.H. Kang
and Dr. Ethel R. Nelson confirm that prehistoric
Chinese ideographic pictures (used in very ancient
Chinese writing) report the story of Genesis,
including the creation of the Man and Woman, the
garden, the temptation and Fall, Noah’s flood,
and the tower of Babel. In his book, The
Real Meaning Of The Zodiac, the late Dr.
James Kennedy claimed that the ancient signs of
the Zodiac also indicate a singular and original
revelation—a kind of Gospel in the stars—and
that the message of the stars, though demonized
and converted into astrology after the fall of
man, originally recorded the Gospel of God. He
wrote:
There exists in
the writings of virtually all civilized nations
a description of the major stars in the
heavens—something which might be called their
“Constellations of the Zodiac” or the
“Signs of the Zodiac,” of which there are
twelve. If you go back in time to Rome, or
beyond that to Greece, or before that to Egypt,
Persia, Assyria, or Babylonia—regardless of
how far back you go, there is a remarkable
phenomenon: Nearly all nations had the same
twelve signs, representing the same twelve
things, placed in the same order....The book of
Job, which is thought by many to be the oldest
book of the Bible, goes back to approximately
2150 B.C., which is 650 years before Moses came
upon the scene to write the Pentateuch;
over1,100 years before Homer wrote the Odyssey
and the Illiad; and 1,500 years before Thales,
the first of the philosophers, was born. In
chapter 38, God finally breaks in and speaks to
Job and to his false comforters. As He is
questioning Job, showing him and his companions
their ignorance, God says to them: “Canst thou
bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose
the bands of Orion? Canst thou bring forth
Mazzaroth in his season? Or canst thou guide
Arcturus with his sons?” (Job 38:31,32). We
see here reference to the constellations of
Orion and Pleiades, and the star Arcturus. Also
in the book of Job there is reference to Cetus,
the Sea Monster, and to Draco, the Great Dragon.
I would call your attention to Job 38:32a:
“Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his
season?” Mazzaroth is a Hebrew word which
means “The Constellations of the Zodiac.” In
what may be the oldest book in all of human
history, we find that the constellations of the
zodiac were already clearly known and
understood... Having made it clear that the
Bible expressly, explicitly, and repeatedly
condemns what is now known as astrology, the
fact remains that there was a God-given Gospel
in the stars which lays beyond and behind that
which has now been corrupted. [1]
In his book, Kennedy
condemned the practice of astrology, while
asserting his view that the constellations of the
Zodiac were likely given by God to the first man
as “record-keepers” of the original revelation
of God.
If the primary assumption of this view is
correct—that an original revelation was
corrupted after the fall of man and subsequently
degenerated into mythologies of the pagan
gods—one should be able to find numerous
examples of such corruption from as far back as
the beginning of history and within various
civilizations around the world. Since the myths
behind the gods would thus be “borrowed”
ideas, the corrupted texts would be similar to the
original truth, and, in that sense, evidence of a
singular and original revelation. If the
distortions of the original revelation were in
fact energized by evil supernaturalism, the goal
of the alterations would be to draw people away
from the worship of Yahweh. In certain ancient
legends—such as the Enuma elish, the Adapa Epic,
and the Epic of Gilgamesh—we discover early
traces of the kaleidoscope of the original
revelation plagiarized for the purpose of
constructing the mythologies of the pagan gods.
EARLY TRACES OF
CORRUPTION
Evidence suggests that the earliest legends of
mythology were preceded by a belief in “the
God” (Yahweh or YHWH to the Hebrews) as the
creator of all things and the “ruler of
heaven.” Later, Satan was described as “the
god of this world” (2 Cor. 4:4), and the prince
of the “air” (Eph. 2:2). A fascinating
struggle between the “ruler of the heavens”
versus the “power of the air” occured in early
Sumerian mythology after Enki, the god of wisdom
and water, created the human race out of clay. It
appears that Anu, who was at first the most
powerful of the Sumerian gods and the “ruler of
the heavens,” was superseded in power and
popularity by Enlil, the “god of the air.” To
the Christian mind this is perceived as nothing
less than Satan, the god of the air, continuing
his pretence to the throne of God, and his
usurpation of Yahweh—”the Lord of the
heavens.” It also indicates a corruption of the
original revelation and perhaps an effort on the
part of Satan to trick the Sumerians into
perceiving him as the “supreme” god (above the
God of heaven) and therefore worthy of adoration.
Correspondingly, in the Enuma elish (a Babylonian
epic), Marduk,
the great god of the city of Babylon, was exalted
above the benevolent gods and extolled as the
creator of the world. Marduk was symbolized as a
dragon (as is Satan in Revelation 12:9) called the
Muscrussu, and his legend appears to contain
several distortions of the important elements of
the biblical account of creation. The Adapa Epic
tells of another Babylonian legend also roughly
equivalent to the Genesis account of creation. In
it, Adapa, like Adam, underwent a test on food
consumption, failed the test, and forfeited his
opportunity for immortality. As a result of the
failure, suffering and death were passed along to
humanity. Finally, the Epic of Gilgamesh is a
Sumerian poem, which, like the Adapa Epic, is
deeply rooted in ancient Assyrian and Babylonian
mythology. In 1872 George Smith discovered the
Gilgamesh tablets while doing research on the
Assyrian library of Ashurbanipal at the British
Museum. Because of the strong similarity to the
biblical account of Noah and the great flood,
Bible scholars have viewed the Gilgamesh epic with
interest since its discovery. As the legend goes,
Gilgamesh, the king of the city of Uruk, was told
about the flood from his immortal friend,
Utnapishtim (the Sumerian equivalent of Noah).
Utnapishtim described for Gilgamesh how the great
god Enlil decided to destroy all of mankind
because of its “noisy” sins. A plague was sent
but failed to persuade mankind of better behavior,
and, consequently, the gods determined a complete
extermination of the human race. Enki, the lord of
the waters, was not happy with the other gods for
this decision and warned Utnapishtim of the coming
deluge, instructing him to tear down his house and
build a great boat. Utnapishtim obeyed Enki, built
a great vessel, and sealed it with pitch and
bitumen. The family of Utnapishtim loaded onto the
boat together with various beasts and fowl. When
the rains came, the doors were closed and the
vessel rose up above the waters. Like Noah,
Utnapishtim sent out a dove, and later a swallow,
to search for dry land. They both returned. Later,
a raven was released and it never came back. After
several more days the boat came to rest on the top
of a mountain where Utnapishtim built an altar and
offered a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the gods.
As the gods smelt the sweet offering, all but
Enlil repented for sending the flood.
In my first book, Spiritual
Warfare—The Invisible Invasion, I
described another interesting example of the
original revelation of God as distorted or
plagiarized by Satan in order to draw men away
from the worship of Yahweh. Concerning Asclepius,
the Greek god of healing, I wrote:
At the base of
Pergamum’s hill stood the shrine of Asclepius,
equipped with its own library, theater, sleeping
chambers used in healing rituals, and long
underground tunnels joining various other
shrines to which pagans journeyed to receive the
healing powers of Apollo’s favorite son. The
Christian Church considered these mystical
powers as demonic, for the worship of Asclepius
focused on the image of a serpent, sometimes
called Glycon, an enormous serpent-figure some
historians see as the origin for the modern
symbol of healing—a serpent winding about a
pole. Asclepius carried the lofty title, the
hero god of healing.
In Numbers 21,
Moses designed the brazen serpent on a pole that
was used of God as an oracle of healing. 743
years later, in 2 Kings 18:4, we find that
Israel had began to worship the brazen serpent
with offerings and incense. From here the image
was adopted into Greek mythology where it became
the symbol of Asclepius, the Greek god of
healing.
Asclepius was reported to have cured untold
numbers from every conceivable disease—even
raising a man from the dead. This caused Apollo
through his Oracle at Delphi to declare, “Oh
Asclepius!, thou who art born a great joy to all
mortals, whom lovely Coronis bare to me, the
child of love, at rocky Epidaurus.” Such a
healer was he reported to be, that Pluto, god of
Hades, complained to Zeus that hardly anyone was
dying anymore, and so Zeus destroyed Asclepius
with a thunderbolt. Afterward, Apollo pleaded
with Zeus to restore his son and this
intercession so moved Zeus that he not only
brought Asclepius back to life, but immortalized
him as the god of medicine. First at Thessaly,
and finally throughout the Greek and Roman
world, Asclepius was worshiped as the saviour
god of healing. [2]
Besides the entwined
serpent symbolism, plagiarism of the Original
Revelation is found in Greek mythology where
Asclepius has the power to heal the sick and to
bring the dead back to life by drawing blood out
from the side of the goddess of justice, the same
deity who “returns” old Satan’s reign during
the Novus Ordo Seclorum। Asclepius was
symbolized by a serpent winding about a pole, and
was called the great “Physician.” The obvious
intention of the serpent on a pole in Numbers 21
was to focus mankind on the coming Messiah, the
true Great Physician, Jesus Christ, who would hang
upon a pole to deliver His followers from sickness
and from death by the blood that ran out from His
side.

next several entries will be a bit lengthy. Basic
understanding of certain aspects of mythology
behind the gods of the Great Seal of the United
