Leviticus 18:7-8
"You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, that is, the nakedness of your
mother. She is your mother; you are not to uncover her nakedness. You shall not
uncover the nakedness of your father's wife; it is your father's nakedness.”

Nimrod founded Babel, the beginning of his kingdom, and it was there that the
mystery religions were birthed. Nimrod was figured as the sun, and Semiramis as the moon.
Together, they became the deities of the people. History reveals that ancient kings often
perpetuated the myth that they were divine. In Egypt, the Pharoah was worshiped as god,
and in Babel Nimrod was Baal (meaning “Lord”) and Semiramis was figured as the goddess
of fertility, the mother of all.
As the people of Babel scattered across the face of the earth, they took their idolatrous
practices with them. The names changed, for the languages had been confused by God, but
their rites and practices continued. Semiramis became known by many names. In the Bible
she is called Asherah, Ashtoreth and Astarte, as well as the moon goddess. Nimrod, as Baal,
also became known by a great many names.
Nimrod was eventually slain. After Nimrod died, Semiramis became pregnant.
Nimrod had been dead a sufficient time that the child could not be his, and Semiramis had
no other husband. To continue the mythos of her divinity, Semiramis claimed that she had
become pregnant by the rays of the sun god (Nimrod ascended). The child born was named
Tammuz. He too is mentioned in Scriptures as one of the false deities whose worship was
introduced to Israel, provoking the wrath of Yahweh.

Ezekiel 8:14-15
Then He brought me to the entrance of the gate of Yahweh’s house which was toward
the north; and behold, women were sitting there weeping for Tammuz. He said to
me, "Do you see this, son of man? Yet you will see still greater abominations than
these."

Weeping for Tammuz continues to this day among those who call themselves
Christians. The forty days of Lent that lead up to Easter are a continuation of this idolatrous
practice. The days of Lent are considered days of mourning. They are observed with fasting,
and also putting ashes on the forehead. Tammuz, like his father before him (he was claimed
to be Nimrod reborn) was a great hunter. One day while hunting, a wild boar gashed him
across his thigh and Tammuz bled to death from the injury.
