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.

This article will focus initially on the Nimrods wife, Semiramis, as she was instrumental in the formation of the wicked mystery religion of Babylon. It will then explain how Nimrods father, Cush and ultimately Nimrod, himself, were incorporated into this system of worship. Ctesias claimed She is also credited with the Behistun monument which was actually constructed by Darius I to celebrate his numerous conquests.Authored by Darius the Great sometime between his coronation as king of the Persian Empire in the summer of 522 BC and his death in autumn of 486 BC. The story of Semiramis comes to us primarily from Diodorus Siculus who is cited by Hislop in the Book. These heathen trinities, found in most polytheistic religions, follow the Father-Mother-Son pattern: Osiris, Isis and Horus; Nimrod, Semiramis and Tammuz; Zeus, Diana, Dionysus; Jupiter, Venus and Cupid; etc. We are also told about Ishtar in an Akkadian poem called Ishtar's descent into the underworld. So Inanna is synonymous with Ishtar and Dumuzi becomes Tammuz. Nimrod was the grandson of Shem who was the son of Noah. Calming Nimrod's wrath temporarily, she later gave birth to a son named Tammuz. This could not be true, for we have sufficient evidence that the Tower of Babel stood long after Nimrod's day. who can be saved or redeemed but through thee. Now, this exactly agrees with the statement in the ancient history of Justin: "Ninus strengthened the greatness of his acquired dominion by continued possession. The very story that Hislop uses to start all this off, that of Ninus and Semiramis acts as evidence against this as nowhere in the Greek writings relating to Ninus and Semiramis is this version recorded about them. Nimrod, who was born on December 25th, the High Sabbath of Babylon, was the founder of Babylon and the city of Nineveh. Previously unknown history was literally being uncovered as Hislop wrote and subsequently brought to light. A look at the evidence. In an effort to retain power and to hide her misdeeds, Semiramis makes a most audacious claim. The story of Ishtar as told by the Akkadians does not resemble that of the story of Osiris,Isis and Horus. Hislop acknowledges that scripture is silent on the death of Nimrod. Nimrod became the Roman god Bacchus, which means, the son of Cush. Bacchus was god of wine and revelry. However she may have had at least some basis on a real historical figure. Fortunately, mostly strong and capable rulers won these struggles, especially during its first century, and kept the empire whole for over two hundred years. Yet these hypocritical leaders dared to return to God's Temple, retiring furtively to its inner rooms to practice their pagan rites "in the dark" (verse 12). It cannot go without mention that the child part of Hislops theory is very noticeably lacking in the various writings of the Greek historians that Hislop uses. . The answer to this question is indeed much simpler than the way in which Alexander Hislop went about drawing his conclusion. With this, they elevate her nearly to a goddess (if not in fact), pray to her incessantly, claim to see her in visions and hear her in dreams and trances, and worship statues of her in their churches and cathedrals! As we know Hislop claims that all pagan religions have a commonality that derives from Nimrod and Semiramis. Two quotations from supposed saints of Catholicism will suffice to illustrate how far Mary worship goes: ? Semiramis became Queen of Assyria. Also, each time an emperor died, severe struggles erupted over succession to the throne. 4 Now at first she was accorded only a moderate acceptance in the palace, but later, when p419 she had been proclaimed a lawful wife, she persuaded the king to yield the royal prerogatives to her for a period of five days.48 5 And Semiramis, upon receiving the sceptre and the regal garb, on the first day held high festival and gave a magnificent banquet, at which she persuaded the commanders of the military forces and all the greatest dignitaries to cooperate with her; and on the second day, while the people and the most notable citizens were paying her their respects as queen, she arrested her husband and put him in prison; and since she was by nature a woman of great designs and bold as well, she seized the throne and remaining queen until old age accomplished many great things. (Soul Magazine, NovemberDecember 1984, p.4.). This is where the myths of the Egyptians are drawn in and linked with Nimrod, Semiramis and Tammuz. If nobody before Alexander Hislop had ever written about Nimrod , Semiramis and Tammuz together how did he come up with the theory in the first place? So based on Plato's statement that Thoth was both a counselor for Osiris and also for Thamus THE KING OF EGYPTthen Osiris and Thamus are the samehold it here. There is no mention of this goddess in Norse writings. Bringing with it the revelation that previously believed history was actually not history at all. The Sumerians built the gigantic ziggurat of Etemenanki to honor their supreme god, Marduk. Greeks deified Nimrod as the god, Adonis. 171. In fact Semiramis is NEVER mentioned in the Bible, not even once. (SYNCELLUS) Consequently, on this view, the reign of Ninus must have terminated, according to the usual chronology, about BC 1987. Who were they? Semiramis bore a son named Tammuz (also known as Thammuz, Gilgamesh, Dumuzid, Dumid the Shepherd, Dumuzi, Dumu-zid, or Horus), who she claimed to be the reincarnation of her deceased son and husband, Nimrod. She is almost certainly the amalgamation of a historical figure and Greek Goddesses created by classical Greek writers. 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. The Persians had a general policy to honor the gods of all their defeated enemies by repairing or rebuilding temples and giving offerings to them. Hislop claims that Ninus is clearly Identified with Nimrod. The answer to this question is indeed much simpler than the way in which Alexander Hislop went about drawing his conclusion. Gilgamesh states that she had decreed weeping for Tammuz. The identity of Nimrod, however, and the Egyptian Osiris, having been established, we have thereby light as to Nimrod's death. The Home for Christian Writers! Ishtar being yet another name and another retelling of Semiramis. called me Chaos.[vii] Chaos is the god of confusion and is derived from the name Cush. Nimrod is described in Genesis 10:812 as the first on earth to be a mighty man. [xx] The Canaanites clearly understood the connection between sun god, Molech, and serpent worship. Hislop asserts that Semiramis was instrumental in Nimrod's plan to rebel against God, and he speaks of the woman's unusual ability to manipulate the will of men. The religion of the Persians was Zoroastrianism, a dualistic belief in good and evil and man's struggle between them. Not even Josephus the famous Jewish historian mentions her being Nimrods wife. And her child was snatched up to God and to His throne. Osten is the German word for east. The history of the Assyrians as told by Ctesias and portrayed by Didious begins by detailing the reign of the Assyrian king named Ninus. [xi] The Phoenicians every year sacrificed their beloved and only begotten children to Kronos, or Saturn; and the Rhodesians often did the same. [xii]. There are many other myths from Grecian to Egyptian to Babylonian and Assyrian that Hislop simply glues together to form his story. Anyone that uses it has not actually studied History. And so we come to the story of Osiris, Isis and Horus that are apparently just the retelling of the story of Nimrod ,Semiramis and Tammuz. After Ishtar's descent into the underworld sexual activity on earth ceased. Its a troubling question. 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. Even if the person making the claim does not know it themselves. In like manner, some Catholics attribute to Mary the position and characteristics of the third person of their unscriptural trinity, the Holy Spirit. She claimed a full-grown evergreen tree sprang overnight from a dead tree stump, which symbolized the springing forth unto new life of the dead Nimrod. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man, and birds, and animals, and creeping things.
