note the crescent (of the moon goddess) on the head of Ashtoreth

Satan’s incursion made promises. `Ashtoreth (ash-to’reth) is the Phoenician goddess of love (and increase). Zidonians, in Hebrew is: Tsiydoniy (tsee-do-nee’) 1. a Tsidonian or inhabitant of Tsidon. It comes from tsuwd (tsood) which means: ‘1. to lie alongside (i.e. in wait) 2. (by implication) to catch an animal 3. (figuratively) to catch men 4. to obtain food or provision (for a journey), victual’. Milcom or Malcam (mal-kawm’) or Milkowm {mil-kome’} is by BDB Definition: “great king”. Strong’s Definition; ‘the national idol of the Ammonites and Phoenicians to whom some Israelites sacrificed their infants in the valley of Hinnom.’ Ammonites is ‛ammonıy (am-mo-nee’): ‘Patronymic from Ammon [meaning ‘tribal’ – Lot’s son by his own daughter]; an Ammonite or (adjectively) Ammonitish’.

Just as he deceived the Woman of Eden with an advanced lifestyle, so he made them see a rich fertility if they should follow him through Ashtoreth; only that he did not allow them to see the truth: they have become his hunted slaves of religion in worship. Through Milcom he made an avowal to give them a tribal, great kingdom. The unfortunate thing is that Satan found a subtle way to make oblivious of the fact that God had promised all of these, which he promised through demonism. To Abraham He said, “And I will make of thee a great nation…” Genesis 12:2. In Exodus 3:8, “And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites” was Jehovah’s word. Satan has, indeed, come to steal, kill and to destroy those who opens the doors of their hearts.

note the round sun (sun god -i.e. Nimrod) on Baal’s head

 Of the divided kingdoms it was only a matter of time before Lucifer’s shot the dart of fear, the opposite of faith, will rule his heart. Satan crawled into Jeroboam in 1Kings 12:26-27, “And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David: 27. If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah”. And the northern kingdom of Israel opened the doors wide. “Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt” [1Kings 12:28]. Some of the kings of the southern kingdom of Judah did worship Jehovah wholeheartedly but not even one of kings of Israel remembered God. King Ahab was the worst whose wife, Jezebel, made Baal worship the kingdom’s religion. King Manasseh of Judah was as worse as Ahab. Manasseh cherished his initiation so much that history records that he executed Prophet Isaiah by sawing him in two. Satan’s religion is an opium!

The Judaistic worship had received a religious label by the time of the incarnation of Jesus Christ. It had been divided into: Pharisee, Sadducee, Essence and Zealot, each clutching what suited its belief. So spiritually deranged they had become to the point of, “And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves” [Mark 11:17]. At the height of it was the compromised chief priests and the high priest in Matthew 26:15, “And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver”. Mohammad’s Qur’an got its lie from Matthew 28:12-15, 12. “And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, 13. Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept. 14. And if this come to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him, and secure you. 15. So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day”. Mohammed’s incursion into the holy writ quite reveals his evil mission. He taught that Jesus was never crucified (Qur’an An-Nisa i.e. chapter 4:156-158), that one of His disciples was actually the one Allah allowed to be killed! Lies! Are there not enough backing proofs of documentation ascertaining the eventual demise of a One who journeyed through the excruciating week of the Passion?

Simon the sorcerer from whose name the word simony was coined was a ready vessel for the devil’s intrusion in Act 8:18-20, verse 18. “And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, 19. Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. 20. But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money”. Some people believe his full name is Simon Magnus and that he was the one who actually founded the Catholicism of Romish Church. (…to be continued…)
