The history of Egypt records the fact
that Egypt was invaded by a peaceable
people whom history denominates
Hyksos. ii. e. Shepherd Kings.) These
invaders did not seem to disturb the
general government of Egypt and
tradition says they left as peacefully as
they came. Manetho. an Egyptian
priest and scribe is quoted by Josephus
and others, as saying. 1--WE had for
merly King whose name was Timans.
In his time there came up from
the East in a strange manner. Men of
ignoble race mot warriors) who, when
they had our rulers in their hands,
demolished the temples of the gods. "
This agrees with the fact that Melchis-
edec, or Shem Sem knew who Nimrod
was, being his own relative, the grand
son of his brother Ham. Shem,
mighty man of God. convinced the
seventy two supreme Judges of Egypt
that the religion of that country was
idolatry of the worst type, being the
worship of living man, and he rela-
tive OF himself. Nimrod was taken by
force, his body torn into fourteen pieces
and distributed Throughout Egypt as
warning to whosoever should do as
Nimrod had done should be punished
likewise, in like manner. This was
a legal custom throughout eastern
countries in that day.
A pig being a symbol of evil in Egypt,
the cody Shem was named Typho by
Nimrod' 5 followers and symbolized by a
pig having in its mouth a bundle of
tusks showing that Typho's power was
IN his persuasive qualities, and he was
the great enemy OF the gods practical
ly of the devil which was true). Gem
eramis, Nimrod's wife, saw her power
and influence was over unless she chang
ed her course to retain her hold. THE
religion of the gods" now became a
secret work in the minds and hearts of
men, rather than a bold, open institu-
ton, because of the fear of persecution
by Shem and the supreme powers of
Egypt. She gathered the parts of the
body of her husband and at the funeral
performed a mysterious, miraculous GER
emony, using her powers of magic to
awe the people, claiming now that the
mighty Nimrod, while put to death as
saviour, was resurrected and deified as
the sun. the great light of heaven. A
great change now took place in that re-
ligion and the priesthood reorganized
were given an intoxicating draught from
the royal golden cup which caused the
intoxicated ones to see and hear wonder
full sights and sounds to impress them
with the solemnity Of the occasion, and
then the visions concluded by their be-
ing shown the glorified, deified Nimrod
as the great "Baal, the Lord of
Heaven" The mysteries were now
given to this priesthood under pain of
death if ever revealed. If the mysteries
could resurrect and defy one, it could
another so when Gemeramis died she
resurrected and deified as the lesser
light of heaven the moon. Her deitied
husband being now the King of heaven
she was known and Worshiped as The
Queen of Heaven" Even to this day,
each member of this priesthood being
deifed also at death, we do not wonder
that. as the Apostle expresses it, there
be Lords many and Gods many, but to
us christians there is one God, one Lord,
one faith, one baptism.
The natural man cannot comprehend
a spirit condition, therefore he requires
an idol and image to look at represent
ing his god. Instead of praying to the
Father Jehovah as Jesus taught US,
Our Father which art in heaven, the
heathens pray to their patron saints and
to Gemeramis, the Queen of Heaven.
Their prayers are chiefly said to The
Woman" the mother of their CO.,
"Baal." Baal is never worshiped as
Nlmrod but as 1.-The seed, and it is no
ticB BILE that the woman is always men
toned first. In Egypt it was Isis and
Osiris, the woman and the seed, also in
India they appear as Isis and lswara.
In Greece we find Ceres and the babe IN
her arms, or Irene, the goddess of peace
and the boy Plutus. In China, Cybele
and Deoius. Pagan Rome, Fortune and
Jupitur, &c.
The seed" and the woman were
known by many other names. AS the
god Baal now was the light of heaven,
his symbol was the sun, which is the
great light of the earth. Therefore
there were sun worshipers from whom
came our Sunday" AS fire was the
earthly representative of the sun. there
were fire Worshipers," who kept the
sacred fire ever aglow on their affairs.
The idol Moloch. which means king"
in the Chaldean language, was where
they passed children to Baal, through
the red hot hands Of this image. Baal
was known to them as ''TammuZ"
from Muz to burn, Eek. S:1i and Tam"
to purify by fire. Baal was known as
Saturn, and the followers of Nimrod as
Satyrs, probaly from Saturn 1.-The hid
den one. He was also known as Pan,
and Baochus, Zoroaster, Neoros, and
Nebras. spotted, Nimrod' S name came
from the fact that he subdued leopard
using it in his hunting of animals much
as hunter of today uses a pointer or
of rank of his priesthood was a spotted
apron skin. The wife of Nimrod the
Queen of Heaven" is worshiped throu'
the Sacred Cow of Asthor, which was
spotted COW. She also has numerous
names, Great is Diana of the Ephesians
whom all the world worshipped, was
that peoples boast and Diana has her
symbol at her feet, crescent, indlcat-
ing her as the queen of heaven" the
lesser light. The Ashteroch of Judges
21:l2, IL, and Astarte of the Greeks,
Aphrodite, Venus, etc. etc, all having
the crescent as her symbol. This sym
Dol is often found near the feet of the
Virgin Mary as she is represented in the
images of the Roman church and is also
worshiped as the Queen of Heaven.
The Jews were continually warned
against making any idols of the woman,
Gemerams or of the gods of the heath
en- about them, or of Baal. Take
heed unto yourself flor we saw no man
