The more notable references to ‘satan’
can be found in the New Testament in the words of Jesus Christ. I have
elaborated in prior blog posts that Jesus could very well be the continuation
of a ‘divine’ EN.KI lineage via the union of Nabu and Mary—Nabu being the son
of Marduk and Mary being the daughter of Anna of Glastonbury. With this in
mind, let us briefly discuss the meaning of the word ‘satan’ before we
interpret what Jesus Christ was really saying in the New Testament.
During the time of Christ, the word
‘satan’ could be used as either a noun or a verb in the Hebrew language
as follows: to turn aside, to fall away, to decline, to stray, to seduce,
contrary to, adversary, seducer, revolter, rival, obstacle. In some cases,
the biblical persona 'Satan' is used to reveal a message, in a disguised
manner, when the receiver of the message is not inclined to understand or trust
the source. Surprisingly, Yahweh even allows a 'Satan' to wreak havoc on
his most devout servant Job in the Old Testament.
In Judaism there is no concept of “the
devil” like in Christianity or Islam; and there is no direct link between
the Serpent that tempts Eve in the Garden of Eden and the 'Satan'
referenced in the first book of Chronicles and in Job. In Hebrew, the biblical
word ha-satan (השָׂטָן) means "the adversary" or “the obstacle”, or
even "the prosecutor" as God is viewed as the ultimate Judge.
If “the devil” exists in any
form of Judaism, his role is as an “adversary” and an “accuser” which is
assigned rather than assumed. Christianity and Islam translated the lower-case
‘satan’ to imply "The Devil" and the upper-case ‘Satan’
to personify him. They made ‘satan’ and 'Satan' out to be the
frightful, demonic devil we fear today; whereas the original Hebrew context was
that ‘satan’ represented an "adversary" in opposition to a
particular cause or train of thought. That being said, let’s review the
translated scriptures:
Matthew 16:22-23
[22] Peter took him aside and began to rebuke
him. "Never, Lord!" he said. "This shall never happen to
you!"
[23] Jesus turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are
a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the
things of men."
This is the most telling scripture
to describe exactly what "Satan" represented to Christ and to
the people of the day-- a “stumbling block” to a message or objective. Just as
the aforementioned Hebrew definition of ‘satan’ indicated, the
embodiment of a certain “adversary” or “obstacle” is what Jesus Christ was constantly
on guard against. Was Jesus saying that Peter was demonically possessed by “the
devil” or Satan? Of course not. Jesus was referring to a mindset that was in
“opposition” to his Judea-Christian agenda.
Now, let’s take a look at how the
lower-case ‘satan’ in Hebrew was translated by Christianity and Islam to
personify the modern-day concept of “the devil”.
Matthew 13:37-39
[37] “He answered and said unto them, 'He that soweth the
good seed is the Son of man.”
[38] “The field is the world; the good seed are the
children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one.”
[39] “The enemy that sowed them is the devil (‘satan’); the
harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.”
Teaching in parables, Christ compares
the origin of the "bad" seed to the origin of the "good"
seed. I don’t think Christ could have been any more clear in his delineation
between two feuding offspring, two opposing mindsets, here on Earth. And we
know that these two distinct factions were either of EN.LIL-origin or
EN.KI-origin because Islam did not appear until 600 years later. The term
"the devil" in verse 39 is not an accurate Hebrew translation but,
instead, can be replaced by rival, opposer, adversary, or obstacle which
correspond to the Hebrew lower-case ‘satan’.
At the time of Christ, we already have the "bad" seed infiltrating
the Jewish temples and influencing the Jewish people. It is believed that these
"devils" are the ones who attempted to convince others that Christ
was not the Son of God. Biblical scholars disagree as to whether this
infiltration was of an ever-present Pagan origin or, more likely, the EN.LIL-ite
opponents of an EN.KI to Marduk to Nebo royal lineage. Regardless, Jesus
confronts them in the following scriptures:
John 8:43-44
[43] "Why do ye not understand my speech? Even because ye cannot
hear my word."
[44] "Ye are of your father, the devil (‘satan’), and the
lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and
abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a
lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."
Who would the offspring of EN.KI
(namely Nabu and Jesus) consider to be the original murderer and liar of old?
The father of ‘original’ sin? In my mind, all we have to do is recall
the earliest struggles between the two brothers EN.LIL and EN.KI below:
1) The Great Flood – It
is EN.LIL who wanted to destroy EN.KI’s creation, the entire human race, by not
informing Mankind that the Great Flood was coming. EN.LIL opposed the genetic
manipulation by EN.KI to create the first Adam-man; and EN.LIL considered
Mankind to be a threat and a nuisance from that day forward. It is EN.KI who
secretly notified his son Noah to build The Ark to survive The Deluge. This
clearly makes EN.LIL the absolute murderer and liar since the beginning of
time.
2) Nuclear War – It is
EN.LIL, once again, who insisted that Mankind be left in the dark when ancient
Sumeria was about to unleash a nuclear holocaust upon itself. This nuclear war
was the decided outcome in a struggle between two Anunnaki factions struggling
to rule the Earth—the offspring of EN.LIL verses the offspring of EN.KI.
It was EN.KI who secretly warned Mankind to flee Sumeria before the
nuclear fall-out took its toll. This clearly makes EN.LIL a notorious murderer
and liar, for the second time, throughout the Earth’s history.
It is interesting how Jesus so
clearly delineates between his members of Mankind (the ‘real’ Jews) as opposed
to the members of Mankind spawned by “the devil” (the lower-case ‘satan’
lineage and mindset). Jesus refers to “the murderer” and “the liar” not as a
hell-fire demon or devil in the Christian sense. Jesus is referring to men,
flesh and blood, with an opposing and adversarial agenda that
Jesus could perceive at first glance. No one knows exactly how Jesus could have
identified them so easily, but he vehemently calls them out again in the
scriptures below:
Rev 2:9
[9] “I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, but thou art rich and I
know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the
synagogue of Satan.”
Rev 3:9
[9] “Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan,
which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to
come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.”
The above scriptures are angry
references to upper-case ‘Satan’; and I am convinced that Jesus is
referring to the descendants of Someone that he knows personally. Jesus knows
their lineage, he knows who seeded them, and he makes a candid accusation that
they have infiltrated the Jewish temples and they are "pretending"
to be Jews. This is most significant considering that Jews today are divided
into Jews who follow the rule of Secularism verses Jews who follow Judaic Law.
And who is the never-ending
proponent of Secularism and its opposition to Christianity? Who was the first
designated Commander of the Earth? His name is EN.LIL and it is
not just Christianity he has opposed. He has worked alongside ALALU and the
Nation of Islam to divide and conquer EN.KI’s chosen offspring—the ‘real’
Jewish people. Christ clearly stated this in the aforementioned biblical texts.
Thus describes the 3-way power struggle between three separate Anunnaki “gods”
here on Earth.
It appears that EN.KI is dead-set on
protecting and keeping his ‘divine’ lineage in-tact—the Jewish people. All the
while, EN.LIL celebrates the chance to divide and destroy EN.KI’s creation at
any cost. Read the following Old Testament verses from Genesis Chapter 6 to
understand precisely what EN.LIL thought of EN.KI’s creation both BEFORE and
AFTER the infamous Flood:
Genesis
6:5-7 – The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on
the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was
only evil all the time. The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on
the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. So the Lord said, “I will wipe
from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the
animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.”
Genesis
6:11-13 – The earth was corrupt in God’s sight
and was full of violence. God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their
ways. So God said to Noah, “I am
going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence
because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth.
Genesis
8:20-21 – Then Noah built an altar to the
Lord and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed
burnt offerings on it. The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his
heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of humans, even though every inclination of the human
heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living
creatures, as I have done.
I conclude with a final reference to
the idea of a ‘satan’ or ‘Satan’ bringing out the worst in Mankind
here on Earth. The aforementioned Genesis chapters 6 & 8 clearly state
that man was a lost cause from the very beginning. A thousand more verses, from Exodus to Revelations, prove that man will never change his wicked ways. The
infamous words of comedian Flip Wilson, “the
devil made me do it!” personifies the modern-day Satan that Christians have
been taught to blame. The world is a bad place because Satan has made it that way. Really? Man's creation story, the book of Genesis, would beg to differ.
