Exposing the Kingdom of Darkness Pt 3 ~ Spiritual background and History of Babylon

Nimrod was from the land of Shinar. These people were known as the Sumerians. The Sumerians became the Babylonians. Nimrod built the tower of Babel. Nimrod means ‘to rebel’. Babylon means ‘to mix’. The Babylonians worshipped many gods. Among the gods were the sun god, Ishtar the goddess of love and the chief god was Marduk which is another name for Baal. There was a temple to the chief god. Priests were religious leaders and there were sacred festivals. Ziggurats were altars to ascend to the temple of the city god. In the Babylonian mystery religions (the worship of Baal), the high priest was considered a representative of god. He was considered a king-priest. After Babylon fell in the days of King Nebuchadnezzar, the Babylonian priests and worship system moved to Alexandria, Egypt and also to Pergamos in present day Turkey. Yeshua called Pergamos the seat of Satan. Are these teachings a blessing to you?
