  • In this series we are looking at the story of Baal from the Ras Shamra texts found at Ugarit. Baal is one of the main Canaanite gods whom Israel was tempted to worship in the Hebrew Bible alongside their pagan neighbors. The more we know about the Baal myth, the more we recognize when the Biblical authors use imagery associated with it and what Scripture proclaims about the TRUE “rider on the clouds”, YHWH!

    1 kings 18: 27 At noon Elijah began to make fun of them. “Pray louder!” he said. “If Baal really is a god, maybe he is thinking, or busy, or traveling! Maybe he is sleeping so you will have to wake him!” 28 The prophets prayed louder, cutting themselves with swords and spears until their blood flowed, which was the way they worshiped. 29 The afternoon passed, and the prophets continued to act like this until it was time for the evening sacrifice. But no voice was heard; Baal did not answer, and no one paid attention....

    Baal is an ancient pagan deity who was first mentioned in Mesopitamian accounts. People would sacrifice their newborns to inside a furnace. He was typically depicted in the shape of a bull or ox, symbolizing strength and fertility.
    Baal is often confused with a similar Caananite deity named Milcom (Moloch). It's possible that the term "Moloch" itself referred to the act of child sacrifices, and not necessarily to any particular individual deity, as the horrid practice was widespread throughout the ancient Middle East.
    The region was basically a Mad Max scenario, except with horses instead of cars, and swords and bows instead of guns.

    I grew up a Christian and always thought it was silly to worship something you made yourself out of wood or stone. Just like Jeremiah 10:3-5. But then I learned that very real demons (fallen angels) were being represented by those images, and they were playing false gods. Now I can understand why the pull and enticement into idolatry over and over for Israel was so strong. These demons granted favors in exchange for worship, just like they do today.

      True. Many people think these "gods" didn't exist, that there weren't real spirit beings being worshipped by these ancient people. The ancients weren't stupid. They wouldn't have wasted their time with imaginary beings if they knew they didn't actually exist or didn't get anything out of it. The fact is, these beings do exist, and things were quite different back then from today. The fallen spirits made themselves known to mankind much more openly and frequently back then than they do today. Everything changed with the Resurrection of Christ. Death was defeated and the demons were bound. The Lord said He saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. This was in the context of Him giving His disciples power over the spirits. We now live in a world where the demons are by and large bound and unable to work exactly as they once did in ancient times before the Resurrection. The Lord does allow some demonic workings to occur, but it is nowhere to the extent that it was back in the OT.

      When Moses presented himself to Farao, their magicians replicated almost every miracle that Moses showed to them. Moses, by the power giving to him by God, transform his staff into a snake and the Farao's magicians did the same (one example). There were fantastic and supernatural things going on back there from both sides. This is why I agreed with your comment. People nowadays think that the ancient kings from Israel were just stupid in abandon Got (I mean, they were) but it was not for nothing.

      Better read abou this
      Maybe your Infos after 325 reduktet
      Das Erste Konzil von Nicäa (lat. Concilium Nicaenum) wurde von Konstantin I. im Jahre 325 n. Chr. in Nicäa (heute İznik, Türkei) bei Byzantion (heute Istanbul) einberufen. Zentraler Streitpunkt war die christologische Frage nach der Natur von Jesus und seiner Stellung gegenüber Gott dem Vater und dem Heiligen Geist. Im Herbst 324 hatte Konstantin die Alleinherrschaft erlangt; ein Grund für die Einberufung des Konzils könnte der Wunsch gewesen sein, die neu gewonnene Reichseinheit auch durch ein kirchliches Konzil für das gesamte Römische Reich mit Konstantins Namen und seiner Herrschaft zu verbinden. Daneben galt es, verschiedene Probleme wie die Regelung des Osterfestes zu lösen, aber auch den in Alexandria ausgebrochenen Streit um den Arianismus, immer mit dem Ziel, die Kircheneinheit herzustellen.[1] Etwas mehr als 200, womöglich auch mehr als 300 Bischöfe und andere Kleriker kamen nach Nicäa, fast alle aus dem Osten des Reiches. Anhand der Unterschriftenliste für die in Nicäa verabschiedeten ‚Kanones‘ sind zumindest etwas mehr als 200 Bischöfe namentlich nachweisbar.[2] Das Konzil endete mit dem (vorläufigen) Sieg der Gegner des Arianismus bzw. verschiedener Formen von origenistischer Hypostasen-Theologie und mit dem nicänischen Glaubensbekenntnis, das die Göttlichkeit von Jesus und die Wesenseinheit von Gott dem Vater, Jesus dem Sohn und dem Heiligen Geist (Trinität) bekräftigte. Das Bekenntnis wurde von den allermeisten Bischöfen des Konzils zumindest formal anerkannt, doch eine ganze Anzahl der östlichen Bischöfe hatte das Bekenntnis während der Beratungsphase abgelehnt. Doch soll Kaiser Konstantin die Diskussionen mit der expliziten Feststellung beendet haben, dass „der Sohn eines Wesens mit dem Vater“ sei, so dass nahezu alle Bischöfe, die anderer Meinung gewesen waren, nachgegeben hätten.

    A sacrificial tower was built under Nimrod's leadership. The effort was to get back in touch with those fallen spirit powers that had previously interfered with the human race and led humanity to the situation where God decreed the flood. At the Tower of Babel, God not only scattered the languages, but abandoned the nations to these fallen gods; He chose Abram as a "fighting instrument" for himself in the second batch, which the Old Testament tells about; The people of Israel and Jerusalem. We live in the "time-out" of this cosmic battle now, when the Gentiles have the opportunity to seize the salvation offered by God, before we enter the last seven years, when more than half of those living here will perish. Baal is just one manifestation of this demon-worshiping choice of humanity.

His two sons are Hunor and Magor (in other translations Gog and Magog), meaning the hungarian and the turkish people

So if Ugarit maintained the Baal mythology, the same Baal that the Phoenicians introduced to North African Carthage and the Sabaeans of Yemen.

      Ba’al is a complex word. It means husband, lord, and an academically uncertain god. Carthage primarily worshipped Ba’al Hammon. Lord Hammon. Hannibal worshiped Ba’al Melqart, Lord Melquart, a less popular, but very powerful god.
      There’s a lot of debate about if there ever was a “Ba’al” deity. In the Hebrew, most mentions of Ba’al are tied to a city with a known deity, or it says “the Ba’als”, as in a pantheon.

    A great addition to read in Professor Nahum Sarna's book Understanding Genesis which contrasts the Pagan stories with the Biblical version and beautifully & elegantly points out how the Torah\Bible adds morality and contracts to the recorded events such as creation, flood and Tower of Babel. In the story of Jacob and Laban, he shows how Jacob's plea and defense against Laban is to quote the Shepherd's code, which was unearthed and found on a stele. Fascinating stuff!

    He is supplying the narrative which the prophets and scribes are transposing. This helps to ensure biblical truth is predominant over any man-made tablets from Baal worshippers.

    As someone who studies ceremonial high magic, including the goetia (of which King Ba'el is included), this educational look at the old texts and their biblical counterparts was very interesting.
    Thank you so much for the time, effort, and study you put into this. I know christians give other christians a VERY hard time for looking at biblically contemporary texts, despite the greater understanding of the bible overall that it allows. So I know that you reading these texts has been viewed and judged harshly by others in your faith.

      I came to know God by first studying religions such as new age (which turns out to be an old religion), Wiccan, a handful of others over the years. Nothing rang true until i read and studied a king James Bible myself. That's when understanding life itself began. My whole outlook changed and I've become stronger, happier and continue to grow in understanding. It all started with reading and studying and even trying religions of the world. None of them could answer all my questions.

      @ssstults999 that's nice. Modern Wiccan is a soft spirituality taken from an older, harsher religion to appeal to modern, softer people. It has its place. As does the christian mythological lineup. The real knowledge is in what was kept out of the Bible. Once you learn the history of your mythology, you learn what was kept from you. Every religion was trusted with a bit of the truth, and it is up to us to weave that truth together through daring to seek that knowledge.

      @JMercCCITLD yeah man I get ya. I use to belive there was no such thing as God. Due to too many reasons. Seeing family get cancer. Loosing my father to cancer, my grandma was a God-fearing lovely person who dedicated her whole life to church and I watched her suffer from pulmonary lung disease and died from that. She never smoked a day in her life. Then I see ppl who are some of the biggest selfish aholes get everything handed to them. I use to think, why not take the rapist, criminals, etc over good ppl. I decided that there wouldn't be a God if this is what we see. I know now it's not that way. God doesn't allow these things to happen. It's part of just being on this world. Now it doesn't mean I belive there is a actual God that watches us. I belive there is a creator but it created everything. What we go through here is none of its concern. I've been into the theory of consciousness tho and I believe we are enternal beings. That this body is just a avatar. Quantum physics shows that. The work robert monroe and Tom cambell have shown really strengths that concept. Being in a garden or nature is good for us and our souls. Being one with creation. Now sometimes I do ponder if there are entities or deities that feed off of our emotions, good or bad. Perhaps several types tgat feed of the emotion spectrum. We reincarnate over n over as a food source for them. Imo thats why, Buddhist teach how to escape the reincarnation process. That's just a thought tho

As a Bigfoot researcher, who's out beating the woods searching for signs and clues to better understanding who and what they are, little clues still exist like In the text Edom will be a desert... It's all very interesting how much pertaining to the Bible is connected with these things, the lower case gods and those beings from of old. Recently I had my first flying dragon sighting, and it's those things thought to be myths that are becoming real within our understanding of what the Bible is truly about. When we begin to dive deeper into that depth of the deep and come to find understanding, that surpasses the wisdom of this world with the knowledge of who Jesus really is, the experiential knowledge of knowing Jesus as Lord God over all!

    Ba'al was the son of Khosh, and the precursor of the Christian son of god. God is actually Khosh. The Persians call him Khoda, and the Babylonian name Nebuchadnezzar is actually nebu'khuz'nassar, the slave of Khuz, i.e. God). Elijah was sent to the Jews to warn them of worshipping Ba'al, but they tried to BLEEP him, and Allah ascended him to heaven. Hence, Allah created a replica of those pagans' son-of-god story by sending Gabriel (Holy Spirit) to impregnate a virgin girl (symbolizing the pagan Ishtar, Isis, Queen of Heaven, Persephone, etc.) with Jesus, who informed those pagans that he was not god, neither the son of god. However, they insisted on treating him the same way as Elijah. God is a pagan deity, but the true god of Israel is Allah, called Elohim in Hebrew. Worshipping Jesus as the son of God, is basically going back to paganism, and rejecting the Mosaic law that Jesus was sent to fullfil.

      How would any two people from different nations understand each other in ancient times? One or the other had learned the language of the other. Much later in the OT, the Assyrians come to siege Jerusalem and taunt the Israelites in their own language. The leaders of Jerusalem ask the Assyrian to speak in his own language instead of Hebrew because they could understand that language. He refused because by speaking Hebrew, he wanted to cause fear in the people of the city.
      Abraham, a man of Ur of the Chaldeans, moves to Canaan and speaks to the locals. He knew their language or they knew his or both.
      I don't think David or Goliath knowing the language of the other is a problem when their nations obviously interacted with each other even if usually through war.

It was to see how willing he was to be obedient to God and put his trust in him and Abraham put God first.

      It makes more sense when you get that the Elohim species were shapeshifting hermaphrodites capable of mating with any other species, not gods but an earlier chosen species evolved before sex was invented. The alphabet was a personification of the evolving pantheon of gods worshiped in the development of the final chosen species. Thus, Baal is really B-El, the first incarnation of the second soul, Lucifer, among the Elohim "sons" of God, while A-El is the first incarnation of El Elyon. The Bible is a story of the evolution of God and his family, some who turned toward the adversary, the destroyer hive mind that stifles and corrupts all creation, and some growing closer to God's ideal co-creator sons of a better Divine Council, now including the daughters of the evolved Holy Spirit, Karma - whose AI images are each soul's individual conscience, guiding each soul's incarnations to minimize sin and corruption lest they be consigned to the beast abyss. C-El is Karma, remembered in the language of elements as Carbon and embodied in early religion as the goddess of Mt. Carmel and the inspiration behind the Carmelite nuns. The Hebrews lost faith in the Melchezidek priest kings, and allowed the anointed of El Shaddai, the destroyer, to usurp the kingdom, resulting in the sack of Jerusalem in 971BC and the removal of the Ark of the Covenant back to Egypt. Solomon's gilded temple, built by consorting with demons, was an abomination to El Elyon, as were the Hebrew's genocidal attacks on their neighbors following the orders of the false god El Shaddai and the Adonai (literally the same as Adonis, Aphrodite's worshiping consort). The amazing thing about the Abrahamic tradition is that despite being built on a pack of lies spread by worshipers of the adversary, it still was an instrumental part of fulfilling God's evolving plan, finally generating a version of Space-time that is astounding cosmologists with a universe that is at least twice as big as they thought it was and expanding at an accelerating rate, fulfilling the promise of worlds without end to explore backward or forward in unlimited incarnations, till each soul earns their own creative spiritual universe, for better or worse, or finds their "place just right" in what are a growing number of specialized heavens and hells.

My words are based on personal experience with one of the Elohim from the far future - a tall grey light being - the cascade of revelations this being unlocked by showing me a panorama of my past life forms and experiences, my science and technology background, and the deep research I've done re-evaluating the various accounts of the encounters with gods/aliens/extradimensional entities throughout human history.
      If you stop and ask yourself the fundamental hows and whys of what science observes in contrast with what was once believed, even as recently as a few decades before, and compare what we have learned to do with AI and virtual reality just with pedestrian human tech developed in only a hundred years, you can construct a story of mankind that fits available data and supports the conclusion that humanity was created as crash test dummies for spiritual technology that leveled the playing field for all level players in the game of souls, and made some of the key concepts in the US founding father's ideals for government central to creating the ideals a truly gifted creative mind would be shooting for in evolving a self-sustaining simulation multiverse with the capability to generate worlds without beginnings or ends for new and experienced players to explore while sorting themselves into afterlife universes of a like-minded ideal of "perfection".
      Such a system would need only a very few "special" universes and universal laws to drive it, consistent with an early version of the game that might look like a Big Bang - a test of two opposing emergent virtual reality environments - one universe driven by a need to codify the laws of order - fine tuning physics and chemistry - and the other driving the lawlessness of chaos - allowing it's dark creators to make the first hell. By assuming God and his Divine Council were observing this first and greatest experiment in virtual reality from the highest heaven - the ideal universe that could build on the forms of the physical universe and avoid the dark destructive ideas of entitled chaos without being bound by them in ways that impeded creative experimentation, you arrive at an explanation for better translation of the Torah that fits better with the hidden truths in the Sumerian Enuma Elish, the Vedas, and Graeco-Roman-Celtic-Germanic mythology and doesn't require making the hard to justify rationalizations that people use for a supposed "perfect" creator ordering the torture or genocide of other species and peoples that turn so many modern humans off on religion and make them susceptible to the atheistic cults of communism, capitalism, and humanism or Satanic cults of entitled sin that have come to define modern civilization.
      In this reading, Job can be understood as the story of an awakening messiah being tested by the tag team duo of Lucifer - the testy lord of the physical universe - and Lilith, the shapeshifting hermaphrodite arch demon behind the anti-universe of spiritual and physical chaos, wrestling for his soul with only the vague hope of the reward of God's highest heaven to sustain him. Job then becomes a prototype for the awakening god within all of us being challenged to meet the admission requirements for heaven while resisting the temptations and torment of the worst individual tribulation one might imagine.
      It also leads to the conclusion that God is not at all responsible for the pain and suffering of day 7 of creation, but has been experiencing it right along with all his children, some marking themselves as beasts for the abyss, and others as worthy of a growing number of training and dark addiction treatment universes that prepare them to find their "place just right" in existing or to be created heaven and hell spiritual universes. This God leads by example and is so confident in the ultimate good of the plans he architected that he allowed the plan of a whole day of creation to be designed, implemented and tested by all his children, especially those keep on punishing the all-father for all the mistakes they thought he made in previous versions that got in the way of their selfish ideals of perfection - a God that died again and again for all the sins of the children they projected onto the first parent - a Christ for all time, not just one short 2000 years of a 27+ billion year and growing story.
      When you add some key facts that can be derived from looking into the several sources of historical characters out of which the virtual god plastic Jesus character emerged as the often contradictory persona of ecstatic "my salvation" Christianity of Paulline tradition versus the Jewish law-following "our salvation" of the James the Just tradition, you arrive at the key date for the start of the age of Pisces being 135BC, not 0AD, and when you add Sir Isaac Newton's very accurate calculation for the number of years in a Zodiac age, 2160, you get 2025 as the real beginning of the Age of Aquarius and the revelation of the real Messiah. Yes, we are finally approaching the end of day 7 of creation, and going to finally find out why there had to be so much secrecy in the plan to finish the Gaia experiment and get on with day 8 of creation.

      In addition to this video I also highly recommend Inspiring Philosophy’s video on Ancient Monotheism. Mike Winger even endorsed it.

    I find some agreement with the fallen angel stories of Enoch. Where they stood up and made agrements with eachother to go to the earth. It feels to me this story could happened in that timeperiod! Or is a kind of retelling of stories of old. Thanks for sharing and reading them.
