THE GODS OF THE ANCIENT WORLD:
REAL, OR SOMEONE'S IMAGINARY FRIEND? by
Mac Dominick
This is a series of articles.
We will publish one each week. Here are the titles:
As
a result of the disaster at the Tower of Babel and the
resulting rebellion of the Sons of God placed over the
nations, we have identified the territorial false gods
listed in the Hebrew Scriptures. These would be the
"Sons of El" as mentioned in Psalms 82. The
individual gods would include Dagan, Molech, Milcom,
Rimmon, and Chemosh, to name a few. However, 70 (or
72 in the LXX) does not come close to the number of
false gods or even the one-third of the angels cast
from the spiritual dimension in Revelation 12. The Greek
gods and goddesses totaled over 400. According to numerous
Catholic texts, the total number of angels who sided
with Satan's revolt against God was 133,306, 668. The
Hindu gods and goddesses number over 330,000,000. (Yes,
that is 330 million.) So if each of these is a rebellious
elohim you can get an idea of the magnitude of the evil
that is accosting not only the Creator God, but also
His human creation.
One should not be extremely
shocked by this number as the Book of Revelation foretells
of the assault of an army of evil elohim that will annihilate
one-third of the earth's population:
"And the number of
the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand:
and I heard the number of them. And thus I saw the horses
in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates
of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads
of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of
their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. By
these three was the third part of men killed, by the
fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which
issued out of their mouths. For their power is in their
mouth, and in their tails: for their tails..."
(Revelation 9:16-19)
Note the number of this
army is 200,000,000. However, when one considers the
world population is currently hovering around 7 billion,
why should there not be a population of elohim in the
spiritual dimensions that number in the billions? There
are many gods named in the Hebrew Scriptures and ancient
cultures we will not have the time and space to mention
in this study.
Other mysterious "gods"
are named in the mythology of ancient cultures. One
such example is the Anunnaki. According to the Babylonian
creation myth, the Enuma Elish, the Anunnaki aided mankind
under the command of the god Marduk in building the
Etemenanki tower in Babylon. In this account, Marduk
freed 300 Anunnaki from the underworld, and they reciprocated
by molding the 36,000,000 bricks needed for the tower.
There were 300 additional Anunnaki who were retained
in the underworld. The only biblical explanation for
the existence of the Anunnaki (if they do exist) is
they were a specific group of Watcher-class angels who
rebelled before the Flood and were confined by God to
the underworld.
There are also what we could call the cross-cultural
gods. This terminology refers to an evil entity known
by different names to different cultures but is the
same entity. The best example in Scripture of this is
Satan himself. One can easily conclude that Satan, Ba'al,
Zeus, and, by default, Jupiter are different names for
the same Watcher-class angel. This conclusion can be
reached because Jesus equated Beelzebub (Baal) with
Satan in Matthew 12. The Apostle John then equated Zeus
with Satan in Revelation 2. Thus Baal=Satan=Zeus. All
three are the same. Since Jupiter is the Roman equivalent
for Zeus, Jupiter is also another name for Satan. Arguments
can further be made that Enlil, Dagan, and Allah are
also monikers for Satan. To sum up, the same rebellious
elohim may often take a different name to divergent
cultures or people groups.
Before going further,
a couple of definitions are in order:
• Demon-- As stated earlier, a demon is a disembodied
spirit of the Nephilim, the offspring of the Sons of
God (Watcher-class angels) and human women. These spirit
entities were released to the earth's atmosphere when
the Nephilim died in the Flood with no designated eternal
abode for their spirits until after the curse is lifted
from the earth. The demon has no body and is constantly
searching for a host body. They may appear as ghosts,
poltergeists, phantoms, and apparitions, but a demon
cannot generate a physical body. The gods are not demons,
and demons are not elohim.
• Fallen Angel-- God gave the angels free will
just as He did man. Angels can choose to remain loyal
to Yahweh or choose to rebel. A fallen angel chooses
to rebel against God. These entities are known in the
Scriptures as elohim, and their habitation is in spiritual
dimensions. Angels can travel between parallel dimensions
and appear in physical form in our space-time continuum.
They can embody to appear as human, animal, or space
aliens (Grays, Reptilians, etc.). They may even incorporate
interdimensional craft (flying saucers, etc.) to traverse
dimensions. Again, angels can manifest in physical form,
but they can also possess an individual's body as would
a demon. The most glaring example of such an angelic
possession is given in the Bible when Satan entered
Judas to betray Jesus.
Just as the Sons of God in Genesis 6 were fallen angels,
so are the Sons of God placed over the nations (Deuteronomy
32). We are told in Revelation 12 that one-third of
the angels will ultimately rebel against Yahweh. The
fallen, rebellious angels are the gods that were worshipped
in antiquity and are still alive today.

Kachelman: Democrat Reaction
to Historic LA Fires Is Just as Saul Alinsky Ordered
by Jim Hoft Jan. 12, 2025
Guest post by John L.
Kachelman, Jr.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen
Bass and California Governor Gavin Newsom fiddle as
LA burns.
“Let me suggest
that just as punishment is the failure of discipline,
crises management is the failure of proper management
with families, finances, relationships, and politics.
It is regarding the latter that I offer these thoughts.
Proper management utilizes
this principle, “A prudent person sees evil and
hides himself, but the naive proceed, and pay the penalty”
(The Bible, Proverbs 22:3). The results of “crises
management” is the consequence of those in charge—they
will bring chaos or calm.
Chaotic crisis management
arises because the governing structure has failed. This
failure fuels insecurity and instability. A republican
governing, founded upon human values and mutual respect,
encourages the citizens’ productivity and leads
to success and citizens’ strong self-esteem. These
components build a strong nation. (Allow an aside: “Republicanism”
is a political ideology that emphasizes the principles
of representative government, individual rights, and
the rule of law. “Republicans” believe in
a system of government where power is vested in elected
representatives who are accountable to the people who
voted for them.)
Following is a quote from
: Why Apocalyptic Claims About Climate Change Are Wrong
by Michael Shellenberger
" Climate scientists are speaking out against grossly
exaggerated claims about global warming.
Environmental journalists and advocates have in recent
weeks made a number of apocalyptic predictions about
the impact of climate change. Bill McKibben suggested
climate-driven fires in Australia had made koalas “functionally
extinct.” Extinction Rebellion said “Billions
will die” and “Life on Earth is dying.”
Vice claimed the “collapse of civilization may
have already begun.”
"Few have underscored
the threat more than student climate activist Greta
Thunberg and Green New Deal sponsor Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez. The latter said, “The world is
going to end in 12 years if we don't address climate
change.” Says Thunberg in her new book, “Around
2030 we will be in a position to set off an irreversible
chain reaction beyond human control that will lead to
the end of our civilization as we know it.”
Pastor Jack Hibbs of
Calvary Chapel Chino Hills took aim at the state’s
Democrat leadership, holding them accountable for the
ongoing wildfire crises and accusing them of policy
failures, mismanagement, and corruption.
His critique painted a
damning picture of a state he described as held hostage
by a Democrat supermajority, where reckless policies
and blatant mismanagement have led to catastrophic outcomes.
Los Angeles County is
grappling with multiple wildfires that have claimed
at least 16 lives, left 16 individuals missing, and
forced approximately 150,000 residents to evacuate their
homes.
"I challenge you
today if you don’t like what I’m about to
say: California has been under unmitigated Democrat
control—100% power control.
A Democrat supermajority.
What does that mean? It means nobody can oppose their
decision-making.
Now you’ve got a
situation where a catastrophe came, and the billions
of dollars you and I gave were diverted to other woke,
stupid Democrat projects. That’s not hyperbole—it
is a fact.
You don’t like it?
Change your party. If you don’t like it, change
something. I’m upset and angry, and it’s
the right kind of anger."
Cutting Edge comments
from Ron Riffe:
Mass insanity! The current
fires sweeping huge portions of California are undoubtedly
exacerbated by tremendous Santa Anna winds. And fires
in that region are nothing new—so lessons should
have been learned years ago regarding the necessity
of implementing preventative forestry procedures used
across the nation. “Primitive” Native Americans
used fire as a means of consuming underbrush to prevent
massive burn-offs—a technique still used by forestry
departments of many states, coupled with sensible, periodic,
removal of dead trees and other combustibles as a routine
measure.
Yes, California and other
parts of the West Coast have experienced long periods
of drought, which resulted in even more dry underbrush—but
to utterly ignore the danger that it presented is nothing
less than mass insanity on the part of elected officials:
Democrats for the most part. Their left-wing “woke”
ideology of DEI etc., has now bitten them in their hinder
parts and I sincerely hope the thousands who lost everything
they owned will wake up and clean house politically.
Do you know the etymology
of the term “politics?” The syllable “poly”
means “many.” And “tics” are
blood suckers. (Smile).
I’m all for true
science, but notorious scientists like Anthony Fauchi,
et al are a disgrace to humanity. How he is avoiding
prosecution is a mystery. Perhaps the Trump administration
will take that under advisement very soon.
