Christ Conspiracy_ The Greatest Story Ever Sold - Acharya S [156]
As noted, Set is the biblical Seth, the progenitor of the Hebrew race, demonstrating the culture's stellar cult origins. While solar brotherhoods such as the Essenes and Nazarenes wore white, the priesthood of Set/Seth/Saturn/Sata wore black robes, "black as night"; hence, the black dress of Catholic, Jewish and Muslim clerics to this day.
In Hebrew, the name "Satan" or "Shaitan" merely means "adversary," not absolute evil being. The title of Satan as the "adversary," also at 1 Peter 5:8, refers to the sun as "Lord of the Opposite, which means a sign or constellation opposite to the sun at any given point."7
Moreover, Satan is called "the father of lies," yet it is Yahweh who claims to be the deceiver: "If a prophet is deceived, I the Lord deceived that prophet." (Ezekiel) This example is but one of the instances in which "the Lord" lies (1 Kings 22, Jer. 22:7), leaving one to speculate as to the true identity of the "Father of Lies."
The origin of the "devil" also can be uncovered through etymology, in that the word comes from the Sanskrit term "deva" or the Persian "daeva," both of which originally referred to angelic entities, usually female, who were demonized by Christian propagandists. In actuality, "devil" shares the same root as "divine." In addition, the word "demon" is a Christian vilification of the Greek word "daemon," which likewise referred to a divine spirit.
The devil was called "Baalzebub," but this word was also used for God, prior to its vilification. As Graves says, "Baal, as synonymous with Bel, was the Chaldean name for the Lord dwelling in the sun. Baal-Shadai was the sun in the zenith of his glory, and Baalzebub the sun while in the sign or constellation of the scorpion."8 It also meant "Lord of the Flies," the god propitiated to keep flies away.
In fact, any number of names for the devil found within Judaism and Christianity are vilifications of the gods and goddesses of other cultures. The form of the devil commonly represented over the past several centuries, i.e., a man with horns and hooves, is in large part a demonization of the Greek god of Nature, Pan, who was wild and capricious. Several other gods were also involved in the creation of the Christian devil, such as Hades/Pluto and Dionysus/Bacchus. Massey elaborates:
The devil was of Egyptian origin, both as "that old serpent" the Apap reptile, the devil with a long tail, and as Sut, who was Satan in an anthropomorphic guise. Sut, the power of drought and darkness in physical phenomena, becomes the dark-hearted evil one ... 9
Jerusalem, the Holy City
The word "Jerusalem" simply means "City of Peace," and it is evident that the city in Israel was named after the holy city of peace in the Egyptian and Babylon sacred texts. As Graham says:
The word Salem is not Hebrew in origin. In a Babylonian poem of 1600 B.C. we find a city called Salem, home of a might hero Daniel on whose exploits the scriptural Daniel is based.10
Jerusalem in the Egyptian mythos is "Arru-Salaam," or Salam, Shiloam, Siloam. Arru is the garden or fields where the wheat or barley is sown and harvested, the Elysian fields, where Osiris, the sun, takes his rest. It was said that in order to "reap" the Egyptian paradise or Arru-Salaam, one's "sowing" had to be in proportion to the reward; hence, "As you sow, so shall you reap."
Arru-Salaam is the celestial Holy City to which the "angels" ascend and descend the zodiacal ladder of Set/Jacob. The Holy City has no single location on Earth but appears first in the heavens and afterwards is constructed around the globe, being "the Eternal City, the City of the Blessed, the Holy City, the City of the Great King, the Heavenly City, the Eternal City that was the model of Memphis and Annu, Thebes and Abydos, Eridu and Babylon, Jerusalem, Rome, and other sacred Cities of the world."11
As Hazelrigg says:
The "Holy City" is likewise a term
