Other Elements and Symbols of the Christian Myth
In addition to the multitude already examined are many other aspects of the Bible and the Judeo-Christian tradition that can be found in other, older cultures and mythologies. To outline them all would require another volume, which would include such concepts as Ash Wednesday, the Assumption of the Virgin, Gog and Magog, Son of Man, Immanuel and the Stations of the Cross, among others. However, some of the more important aspects are as follows.
The Alpha and Omega
In the gospel tale, Jesus is purported to be the "Alpha and Omega, the beginning and end," but these sentiments were plagiarized from older sources, including the Goddess Isis, in whose temple at Sais, Egypt, it was carved, "I am all that has been, that is, and that will be." As Walker says, "Alpha and omega, the first and last letters of the alphabet, were frequently applied to the Goddess who united in birth and death.",
Angels and Devils
The concept of angels and devils in no way originated with Judaism or Christianity but is found in many other cultures around the globe. The Jews, in fact, took the names of some of their angels from the Persians.2
Although Judaism and Christianity have portrayed them exclusively as male, a trend largely ignored by angel enthusiasts today, angels were originally considered female in several cultures, such as the Indian and Persian. Indeed, the seven archangels of Christianity are masculine remakes of the Seven Hathors of Egypt, which were female.3
As part of the mythos, the good and bad angels (devils or demons) actually represent the angles or aspects of the zodiac, whose influences were determined to be either benevolent or malevolent.
Antichrist
The term "Antichrist" has been applied to numerous rulers and dissidents over the centuries. Because of the hideous and evil abuses of the Catholic Church for centuries, a number of popes were deemed "Antichrists," including Clement VII. Anyone who claims that Jesus Christ never existed could also be called "Antichrist," a title that eminent philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche was proud to claim, because he viewed "Christ" as an oppression. Although many people have been persecuted for denying Jesus Christ, Christ himself is made to say, "And every one who speaks a word against the Son of man will be forgiven" (Lk. 12:10).
It is clear from biblical writings that during the first centuries of the Christian era, numerous "Christs" were running about the Roman world, jockeying for position. These individuals were such a threat to the "true" Christ's representatives
