Chapter 5

A New Religion

As with all occult religions and societies, sexual perversion and immorality

grew stronger with each new generation. Under the dominion of Nimrod and

Semiramis; homosexuality, deviant behavior, violence and unbridled sensuality

became the norm. As the world spiraled down into moral decay, the people

began sacrificing babies to the god Molech; another name for Satan.

Child sacrifice is a ritual that is greatly hated by God. After the children of Israel

left Egypt, the LORD commanded death for anyone that participated in this

unholy and evil practice.

ìAgain, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he

be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in

Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be

put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.î

Leviticus 20:2

Nimrod's great uncle Shem became so outraged at what he saw the adherents

of this devilish religion doing, that he killed Nimrod, cut his body into pieces and

sent the parts throughout Babylon as a warning to Nimrod's followers. 1

This decisive act from Shem caused Nimrod's discipleís to go into hiding for

fear of their lives where they became an underground religion and a secret

society.

However, Nimrodís wife/mother Semiramis did not see the death of her

son/husband as a defeat, but a great opportunity. With Nimrod now gone, she

could use the peoplesí devotion to their beliefs to gain even MORE power.

As the high priestess of the Babylonians, Semiramis announced that her slain

son was so powerful, that through his death, he been elevated to god status. He

was now to be known as Bel-Marduk. She gave him that title because the

supreme sun god of Babylonian worship was Marduk and Nimrod had begun the

construction of Tower of Babel in honor of this deity.

ìThe tower was a symbol of worship and protection and

became well known by many as the ziggurat of Etemenanki,

in honor of the Babylonian supreme god Marduk; a

dominant central point of worship that spread out to many

other nationsÖî 2
