- Lady of Guadeloupe

It has been observed that:
 * Basic description: The veneration of the feminine divinity, as well as other features of this holiday, date back to the worship of the Aztec god-mother Cihuacóatl, also called Tonantzin. She also viewed as the earth mother goddess, by the Aztec people.
 * Location: The Pyramid-temple of Cihuacóatl, was located on Tepeyac Hill, was destroyed by the Spaniards conquistadores. Less than 40 years after Columbus set foot on the continent, the Virgin of Guadalupe appeared to a native Indian, Juan Diego.
 * Physical features: Cihuacóatl was held in great adoration by the Aztecs. Purportedly, she had long, unbraided hair and wore a completely white dress.
 * Features of her Shrine: Her temple had an entrance so low that it was possible to enter only on one’s knees. Once inside, the worshipper would see her representation surrounded by idols, making her appear to be “the mother . . . of the gods.”
 * Holiday and festivals: The festival of Cihuacóatl included human sacrifices, dancing, and a parade of warriors decked out “with roses in their hands, around their necks, and on their heads.” These gifts were left at the top of the temple as offerings to Huitzilopochtli.
 * Pilgrimage: A location of the pilgrimage. Some indigenous individuals, including many from Guatemala, would walk over a thousand miles to the festival of Cihuacóatl.
 * Terminology: Reportally in the vision of Juan Diego; an indigenous Mexican Catholic convert, she ‘lady of Guadeloupe’ refers to herself as, “teoti Dios,” meaning “Mother lord of heaven and earth.”
 * Modern activities noted: Moreover, to this day some still pray to Tonantzin at the basilica.


 * This serves, at least for part of, the basis why some scholars suspect the linked between Lady of Guadeloupe and the feminine divinity mother goddess Cihuacóatl/Tonantzin.

The reason, I am underlining this, is because Wikipedia article entitled: “Our Lady of Guadeloupe”, does indeed mentions the belief; but I personally feel more information need be provided as for examples of reasons why.

Personal research on the biblical mount Sinai:

- shepherd(ing) flock. - “west side of the wilderness.” Exodus 33: - In Be´er-she´ba, in Judah. - Went into the wilderness a day’s journey. - for forty days and nights as far as the: Mount ho´reb.
 * -	Horeb (Hebrew meaning: 'Dry waste').
 * -	Exodus 3:1-15, “And Moses became a shepherd of the flock of Jeth´ro, the priest of Mid´i•an, whose son-in-law he was. While he was driving the flock to the west side of the wilderness, he came at length to the mountain of the [true] God, to Ho´reb.”
 * -	Deuteronomy.
 * -	1 Kings 19, I will quote in part, “Consequently he rose up and began to go for his soul and came to Be´er-she´ba, which belongs to Judah. Then he left his attendant behind there. And he himself went into the wilderness a day’s journey,...he rose up and ate and drank, and he kept going in the power of that nourishment for forty days and forty nights as far as the mountain of the [true] God, Ho´reb... There he finally entered into a cave...”


 * -	Psalms 105:41.
 * -	In the wilderness of Sinai.
 * -	Galatians 4:25, “this Ha´gar means Si´nai, a mountain in Arabia,” Note that Arabia in this context, can refer to a broader place; extending outside the Arabian peninsula.
 * -	Date of the Exodus; according to biblical chronology: 1513 B.C.E. A point of evidence providing a sound basis for this the Solomon's reign.

"Chronological statements harmonize with and substantiate this viewpoint. Solomon began the building of the temple in his fourth year of kingship (1034 B.C.E.), and this is stated at 1 Kings 6:1 to be “the four hundred and eightieth year” from the time of the Exodus (1513 B.C.E.)." - Insight on the scriptures, volume one.

"The 400-year period of affliction thus ran from 1913 B.C.E. until 1513 B.C.E." - Insight on the scriptures, volume one.

The ark of the covenant

Historically speaking, many groups of people have attempted to legimatized themselves by means try to link themselves to the ark of the covenant. E.g.,


 * - Philistines.
 * - Judeans.
 * - Samaritan.
 * - Ethiopian Orthodox Church.
 * - The Lemba people.

Egyptian monarchs menetioned in the bible:

The non-named:


 * - The Pharaoh who tried to take Sarah; Abraham’s wife; and half-sister. - (Ge 12:15-20)
 * - The Pharaoh promoting Joseph’s rise to authority. - (Ge 41:39-46). (Possibly identified with Pharaoh named Netjerikhet/Djoser)
 * - The Pharaoh (or pharaohs) within the period of great oppression of the Israelites prior to Moses’ return from the land Midian.
 * - The Pharaoh of the Exodus.
 * - The Pharaoh; father of Bithiah, wife of Mered of the tribe of Judah - (1Ch 4:18)
 * - The pharaoh who gave asylum to Hadad of Edom in David’s time - (1Ki 11:18-22)
 * - The father of Solomon’s Egyptian wife - (1Ki 3:1).  ["Siamun may be the pharaoh who gave his daughter in marriage to Solomon"]
 * - The pharaoh who struck down Gaza during the days of Jeremiah the prophet - (Jer 47:1).

The named:


 * -	Shishak (In Hebrew: Shishaq) is commonly identified with Shoshonq I.
 * -	Pharaoh Tirhakah, sometimes identified with Pharaoh Taharqa.
 * - 	Pharaoh So; attempts have been to identified him with Pharaoh Shabaka.
 * -	Pharaoh Hophra identified with Pharaoh Apries.
 * -	Pharaoh Necho identified with Pharaoh Necho II.

Characters in the bible (1728 B.C.E.-1513 B.C.E.):


 * - Jacob. (There exists a scarab with the inscription of [Y‘qb-HR] probably be reconstructed as in its Semitic form) This is not an attempt to identify him as being the Bible patriarch Jacob. It does on the other hand show an asiatics living in Egypt using this name living in the delta.
 * - Joseph (some identify Imhotep as deified Hebrew Joseph)
 * - Potiphera (* In the Cairo Museum there is a stele, a funeral pillar, procured in 1935, that has on it the name “Putiphar.”—Annales du service des antiquités de l’Égypte, Cairo, 1939, Vol. XXXIX, pp. 273-276. - Insight on the scriptures) This is not an attempt to identify him as the Biblical Potiphera.
 * - Moses.
 * - Aaron.
 * - Miraim.
 * - Jannes and Jambres. (Mentioned in the: 2 Timothy 3:8, 9. Non-Christian sources, such as Numenius, Pliny the Elder, Lucius Apuleius, a Qumran writing, the Targum of Jonathan, and several apocryphal writings all mention one or both of these men.
 * - Pharaoh of the Exodus.

Time chart:


 * -	Circa 2269 B.C.E. Mizraim’s descendants migration into and populate the land of Egypt.


 * - 	1737 B.C.E. Joseph (imhotep?) made prime minister of Egypt by Pharaoh (Djoser?).


 * - Problem: E.C. 2650-2600 B.C.E. (863 years difference; a discrepancy) Of interest: "Within the burial chamber, only minor bone fragments were found, and it is not clear whether they actually came from Djoser's mummy. In fact, recent radiocarbon dating shows them to be many centuries younger than Djoser." According another website: part of Djoser's mummy is in the collection of Qasr el-Aini in Cairo.


 * -	1728 B.C.E. Jacob with his whole family enter Egypt. [Question: Is "Hyksos" a specific people or somewhat of a generic term.]


 * -	After 1600 B.C.E. Egypt attains prominence as first world power dominating the Israelites.


 * -	1513 B.C.E.    Israelites leave Egypt; deliverance at the Red Sea Egypt’s power shaken. Army lead by Pharaoh (Dudimose?)


 * - Dudimose 1690 B.C.E. (177 years difference). Compared with Ramses II 1279–1213 B.C.E. (300 year difference) Tutimaos/Dudimose (Josephus, mentions when referenceing Manetho in, Against Apion 1:14) [Middle Kingdom Dynasty 13th "Rapid succession of rulers; country in decline"] Numbers 13:22: “When they went up into the Neg′eb, they then came to He′bron. Now A•hi′man, She′shai and Tal′mai, those born of A′nak, were there. Incidentally, He′bron had been built seven years before Zo′an of Egypt.”


 * -	993 B.C.E. Pharaoh Shishak invades Judah and takes treasures from temple.

 * The book Great Religions of the World says: “Cortés and his followers recoiled from human sacrifices of the Aztecs and what seemed like satanic parodies of Christianity: . . . venerating crosslike symbols of wind and rain gods.”

I agree regarding the book entitled the Two Babylons, but I am menetioning a wide range of historic content & information. As for some the sources being older, it only ephasizing the point it has long known by scholars. It in no cancels the information. The reality is also the list is far from exhaustive. Plus, not all others are that old. And even the fact modern encyclopedias are repeating the same information shows much of that information has remained the same, and been information has still very consistent.

History of Writing:


 * Footnote: references to Holy bible are used in the proceedings.

(Early references to writing In the bible)
 * (Passages probably, alluding to writing: Genesis 38:18, 25 time: circa 1750 B.C.E, “seal ring,” Genesis 41:42, “signet ring,” time: 1737 B.C.E.)
 * Job 19:23, 24; 31:35 time period written circa 1613.

(* Dates mentioned are based on the the study of Biblical chronology, as presented in the book entitled: “All Scripture Is Inspired of God and Beneficial,” published by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc.)

Early Hebrew Inscriptions:


 * The ostracon found at the valley of Elah: dated to the tenth century B.C.E. (Location: around the Wadi es-Sant)
 * Tel Zayit inscription: dated to the tenth century B.C.E. (Location: Tel Zayit)
 * Gezer calendar inscription: believed to be from the tenth century B.C.E. (Location: Tel Jezer; Gezer)

If today's scholars, accept Moses as recording the bible books: Job, Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and most of Deuteronomy, and additionally the 90th Psalm in the framework of the biblical chronology, in the ancient Hebrew script; it would mean revising information on the alphabet theory.
 * Framework: The writing would have completed at 1473 B.C.E., and some of books started at very least as early as 1513 B.C.E.


 * Scholars usually date 1050 B.C.E., as the mark beginning of the Phoenician script.

Giants in mythology:


 * - Kroni: He is the primordial manifestation of evil, and manifests in various forms of evil, such as Ravana and Duryodhana.”


 * - Hiranyaksha: A Datiya, He was slain by Lord Vishnu after he (Hiranyaksha) took the Earth to the bottom of what has been described as the “Cosmic Ocean.” His name in Sanskrit literally means "Golden eye".


 * - Oni: Depictions of oni vary widely but usually portray them as hideous, gigantic, creatures with sharp claws, wild hair, and two long horns growing from their heads. They are humanoid for the most part, but occasionally, they are shown with unnatural features such as odd numbers of eyes or extra fingers and toes. Their skin may be any number of colors, but red and blue are particularly common.

The Bible in the British Museum: “In his address in 1870 to the newly formed Society of Biblical Archaeology Dr Samuel Birch was able to identify [in cuneiform texts the names of] the Hebrew kings Omri, Ahab, Jehu, Azariah. . ., Menahem, Pekah, Hoshea, Hezekiah and Manasseh, the Assyrian kings Tiglath-Pileser. . . [III], Sargon, Sennacherib, Esarhaddon and Ashurbanipal,. . . and the Syrians Benhadad, Hazael and Rezin.” (I am yet to research this)

The book The Bible and Radiocarbon Dating compares the Bible’s history of Israel and Judah with ancient cuneiform texts. The result? “Altogether, 15 or 16 kings of Judah and Israel appear, in foreign sources, in complete agreement with their names and times in [the Bible book of] Kings. Not a single king is out of place, nor do foreign sources name one unknown to us in Kings.”

 * The Kinnor is an ancient instrument mentioned in the Bible.
 * There is some weight to the theory it was bound together with bitumen. (See "Noah's ark", and "Moses").
 * Evidence is it had a sound box, sound board, sound holes, two arms, a crossbar, a bridge, and strings probably made from gut and or vegetable fibers. (Sources: kinnor, http://www.rakkav.com/biblemusic/pages/instruments.htm)

English language:

Quote from Oxford: http://www.askoxford.com/globalenglish/questions/oldfashion/?view=uk Is old-fashioned English still spoken anywhere in the world?

"It depends on what is meant by ‘old-fashioned’! Here are some possible examples:

North American English retains items like diaper (nappy in British English), guess (as in ‘I guess’, meaning ‘I imagine’), and sidewalk (replaced by pavement in modern British English).

Tristan da Cunha, a remote island in the South Atlantic, midway between Cape Town and Buenos Aires, was settled from 1816, and is administered by Britain as part of the colony of St Helena. The 300 islanders speak a variety of English that has many archaic features (thought to be influenced by the English of the Scottish Highlands). Distinctive expressions include: to plant in (to plant potatoes), the sea put up bubbles (the sea was too rough [for fishing]), and eastings and westings, indicating which way the island is circled.

Some aspects of the English of the former colonies of Australasia and South Africa are old-fashioned to British people. ‘Colonial’ English often has a ‘clipped’ sound (resulting from clearly enunciated consonants) which some see as reminiscent of British English in the 1950s. Some words are retained which are no longer used in Britain: for example, in Australia chook (a chicken) and pikelet (a type of drop-scone), in South Africa bioscope (cinema) and geyser (a water heater)."

Yet to be discovered biblical manuscripts.

THE “STAR OF YOUR GOD (SHIQ•QUTS)”

Amos 5:26, “And YOU will certainly carry Sak′kuth YOUR king and Kai′wan, YOUR images, the star of YOUR god, whom YOU made for yourselves.”

- “And YOU will certainly carry Sak′kuth” “Sakkut,” this being the Babylonian designation for Saturn (a star-god). (Siccuth – JPS Tanakh)
 * -	The Septuagint*, also used the words, “the tent of Moloch.” Portable shrines tents.
 * -	Babylonian astral Diety: (suggested by the usage of poetic Hebrew parallelism)
 * -	Also, one versed in Hebrew understands, This name was purposely vocalized in the Hebrew Masoretic text to correspond to shiq•quts ′, meaning “disgusting thing.”

– “YOUR king” Heb., mal•kekhem′; Gr., Mo•lokh′; Syr., demal•kum; Lat., Mo′loch. 2 Samuel 12:30 and 1 Chronicles 20:2 (It is generally agreed that the Malcam referred to idol image of the Ammonite god Milcom, or Molech, although the Hebrew term could be rendered “their king.”) 2 Chronicles 28:3; Psalms 106:37, 38; Jeremiah 7:31; 19:4, 5; 32:35 (Molech is referred to in parallel with Baal, suggesting, if not an identification, at least some connection between the two.) Ba’al of Peor. Ba′al-ze′bub, Be•el′ze•bub, Beezeboul, possibly meaning, “Owner of the Lofty Abode (Habitation)”; or, if a play on the non-Biblical Heb. word ze′vel (dung), “Owner of the Dung”]. “Beelzebub” is a designation applied to Satan the prince, or ruler, of the demons. ). Ezekiel 20:26; 23:4, 36-39. Amos 5:26, Acts 7:43. As well pagan Babylonian deity Bel (“Owner; Master”) – Isaiah46:1, 2; see also Jeremiah 50:2, 51:44;. Anu and Enki (Ea) and Bel. – The Babylonian triad (trinity.) Ishtar, Sin, Shamash. - Another Babylonian triad (trinity.) Mother, the son, ‘god.’ Nebo.
 * -	Maybe a play on words (a pun), the Canaanite deity Moloch/Molech/Milcam/Malcam. Moloch
 * -	The Septuagint*, also used the words, “the tent of Moloch.” “Tent of Moloch.”
 * -	There is evidence to show that astrology was closely allied with the worship of Molech, a god who was sometimes depicted with a bull’s head. The bull was worshiped by the Babylonians, Canaanites, Egyptians, and others as a symbol of their deities—Marduk, Molech, Baal, and so forth. The bull was one of the most important signs of the zodiac, Taurus. The sun-god was often represented by bulls, the horns signifying the rays, and the bull’s strong reproductive power, the sun’s power as “giver of life.” The female, the cow, was given equal honor as a symbol of Ishtar or Astarte, as she was variously called.
 * -	—Exodus 32:4, 8; Deuteronomy 9:16; 1Ki 12:28-30; 2Ki 10:29.
 * -	Leviticus 18:21; 20:2-5; Deuteronomy 12:31; 1 Kings 11:5-8, 33, 2 Kings 16:3, 2 Kings 23:10-13,
 * -	Ba’al:

Ba’al, Moloch/Molech, Cronos/Kronos, Saturn. These things all baring striking resembles to Nimrod, a rebel. Notes, Satan mean resister and Devil means slander. Thus Nimrod willful worshiped Satan.

“and Kai′wan”

Evidently the Akkadian star kaimanu or kaiwanu is meant, since this occurs in Akkadian inscriptions as the name of Saturn (a star-god). (Chiun – JPS Tanakh)
 * -	Akkadian name:
 * -	Quoting the Septuganint*, Repa or Repha, one of the names of the Egyptian Saturn (Seb).
 * -	Rhai•phan′/Rhom•pha/ Rephan.

“YOUR images, the star of YOUR god, whom YOU made for yourselves.”

“YOUR images,” “the star of” YOUR god:
 * -	Idolatry.
 * -	A Star-symbol, used in false worship.
 * -	Connected to star worship.
 * -	Your (false) god
 * -	Became a symbol made.

Comparison can be with Acts of the (Jewish) Apostle 7:42, 43. 1 Kings 11:7. Astrology: In this false science of astrology a different god was believed to rule over each section of the heavens. The so called, ‘Star of David’s’ history:
 * -	Isaiah 47:12-15.
 * -	Associated with pentacles, used for pagan worship, “calling spirit forces into human contact.” –
 * -	Ex 20:4, 5 ““You must not make for yourself a carved image or a form like anything that is in the heavens above or that is on the earth underneath or that is in the waters under the earth. 5 You must not bow down to them nor be induced to serve them, because I Yahuweh your God am a God exacting exclusive devotion, bringing punishment for the error of fathers upon sons, upon the third generation and upon the fourth generation, in the case of those who hate me;”

Zodiac: Job 38:32; Deuteronomy 17:2-7, 2 Kings 23:5. •	God’s view it is digusting, “shiq•quts′.”
 * -	A demonic star became a symbol of adornment in Christmas; notice the pagan easterns, likely a religious class of Iranian Zoroasterians astrological priest, of the distant land of Persia. Christmas: Roman festival of Saturnalia; Birthday of Mithra. “dies natalis Solis Invicti” Consider, even according to gospel, written by Jews, a supernatural star appear to (magi) astrologers, it did not lead them to infant Jesus no to Jerusalem, to murdious king Herod. Evidence is shown even in early Christian sources that demons try to allure desceptive practices of astrology and star worship. A scriptural view on stars: We star are not to be worship. But celestial stars are part creator works, of course not the creator himself.   – Genesis 1,2; 15:5; Job 26:7, Psalms 8:1, 3, 4;  115:16 136:9,147:4, Isaiah 40, Jeremiah 31:35-37;.
 * -	 Persian, Roman Mithra/Mithras. Mitra of Hindusim. “god of light.” Known as Mithras to the Romans. It was the mainly pagan Romans, that corrupt the early Christian congregation.


 * -	Pre-deluge.
 * -	Nimrod’s time.
 * -	After Nimrod’s time; Time of Abraham’s forefathers.
 * -	Time of Abraham contemporaries.
 * -	Time of the Patriachs after Abraham.
 * -	Time of being in Egpyt.
 * -	Time in existing Egypt.
 * -	During the royal reign of King Solomon.
 * -	After the royal reign of King Solomon.
 * -	During the reign of Jeroboam I, King of Samaria.
 * -	After the reign of Jeroboam I, King of Samaria.
 * -	Before the exile.
 * -	After the exile.
 * -	Period of Hellenization.
 * -	Rabbinic period prior to Jerusalem destruction by the Romans.
 * -	Medieval period of Jewish history.
 * -	The last 500 hundred years. The occultic practices of Kabbala (Cabala).
 * -	The present era. (E.g., Flag of state of Israel.)

Members of Wicca and New age movements, as well as people who are outright claim to worship Satan the Devil use the pentacles in the rituals adoration. Pentacles are used in the “ calling (wicked) spirit forces into human contact.”

Wikipedia: “The first known uses of the pentagram are found in Mesopotamia…” “the five planets Jupiter, Mercury, Mars and Saturn, and Venus as the "Queen of Heaven" (Ishtar) above.” In my humble opinion, the worship of Venus, lead to Christendom form early apostate Christians in corrupting the biblical position on Mary, from humble servant into Mother-goddess, and Jesus the son of God, into “Jesus God the son.”

The interpretation of the “star” changed from the symbol occult of summoning spirits, into a magic “star” which controls wicked spirits offering ‘protection.’ This practice of superstition is comparable to worshiping pagan Canaanite deity Ba’al for protection from wicked spirits.

Isaiah 65:11, “those setting in order a table for the god of Good Luck.” Deuteronomy 32:17: “They went sacrificing to demons, not to God, Gods whom they had not known, New ones who recently came in, With whom YOUR forefathers were not acquainted.” Psalms 106:37; Deuteronomy 32:17; 2 Chron 11:15.
 * -	Use as a symbol of the Jewish army, and present during sacrifices:

“Astrology is a disease, not a science. . . . It is a tree under the shadow of which all sorts of superstitions thrive.”—Moses Maimonides (1135-1204), Jewish scholar of the Middle Ages.

“As regards the heavens, to Yahuéh the heavens belong, But the earth he has given to the sons of men.” –  Psalms 115:16 (based on the NWT)

The Jewish virtual library says (italics mine): "relatively new...symbol... (Israelite worship) permitted no images of Him; (it) was & still is opposed to the acceptance of any symbols." The Jewish Encyclopedia: "sign on amulets." – Deva•rim´ (Deuteronomy) 18:9-11, Se´pher Tehil•lim´ (Psalms) 58:4. The Jewish encyclopedia says, it's connected to pentacles, used in worship God condemns, use to call spirit forces, Genesis chapter 6. Pentacles are even used to worship has-Satan himself. We will be hurt God's heart if use this symbol, as Genesis 6:6 shows is possible. This symbol would hurt God to his heart, means separation & disfavor. Is this really possible? What do you think? A scripture in Tanakh help us to see God's view, in (the Nevi'im) Ezekiel 8:13-14, God reveals his view to us, when many were using a pagan symbol. We want to praise God, not hurt him, who resides in Ha'shamayim. Imagine the day described here at Isaiah 11:9. There is no need of this so-called star, besides why no use menorah' it is mentioned in the holy writings. (Shemohth´: Exodus 25:31, 39, 40; 37:17, 24; Bemidh•bar´: Numbers 8:4)

“And YOU will certainly carry Sak′kuth YOUR king and Kai′wan, YOUR images, the star of YOUR god, whom YOU made for yourselves.” Amos 5:26. – (NWT)
