Semiramis, also known as Ishtar and Isis, holds a significant role in ancient pagan traditions linked to idolatry. As Nimrod's mother and wife, she promoted his deification after his death, claiming an evergreen tree symbolized his new life and that he left gifts under it at the winter solstice. She later bore Horus, asserting he was Nimrod reincarnated, forming a perverted trinity worshipped as Madonna and child. Semiramis, associated with fertility, love, sex, and war, embodies seductive harlotry and temple prostitution, drawing people from pure worship. Her influence mirrors abominations that provoke God's jealousy, reflecting pagan practices condemned as idolatry with severe consequences.

Syncretismas!

Article by Martin G. Collins

Semiramis, also known as Ishtar and Isis, played a significant role in the deceptive origins of Christmas. As the mother and wife of Nimrod, she promoted the belief that he was a god after his death. She claimed to have seen a full-grown evergreen tree spring from a dead stump, symbolizing new life for Nimrod, and declared that on the anniversary of his birth at the winter solstice, he would visit the tree and leave gifts under it. Later, Semiramis bore a son, Horus, asserting that Nimrod's spirit had visited her, leaving her pregnant, and that Horus was Nimrod reincarnated. This led to the formation of a perverted trinity, with Semiramis and Horus worshipped as Madonna and child, a concept that spread under various names across different cultures and languages.

Easter 2017

Commentary by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

The name Easter may have origins in the Middle Eastern goddess known by various names such as Ishtar, Ashura, Astarte, Isis, Aphrodite, and Venus. This goddess is thought to have been modeled after the wife of Nimrod, who is mentioned in Genesis 10. The Greeks named this wife of Nimrod Semiramis. Semiramis, along with her counterparts like Ishtar and Isis, was considered a goddess of fertility, embodying aspects of love, sex, and power, and even war, due to the conflicts often caused by love and sex.

Christmas and Sun Worship

Sermonette by Mike Ford

Semiramis, as part of the ancient pagan traditions, is linked to the worship of false gods that provoked God's jealousy. She is associated with the idolatrous practices that mirror the abominations seen in visions of future times, where sun worship and other lewd rituals were prevalent. Her influence is seen as a seductive lure, drawing people into harlotry and temple prostitution, much like the Israelites were seduced by the women of Moab. This connection to Semiramis underscores the deep-rooted pagan elements that have persisted, challenging the purity of worship and inciting God's command to reject such idolatry with severe consequences.

The Cross: Christian Banner or Pagan Relic?

Article by Earl L. Henn

Long before the coming of Christ, pagans used the cross as a religious symbol, and its connection to ancient Babylonian mystery religions is significant. According to historian Alexander Hislop, Tammuz, intimately associated with these religions, was linked to the worship of Nimrod, Semiramis, and her illegitimate son, Horus.
