an Egyptian term combining "Ba," the symbol of the planet and goddess Venus, with "al" or "el," the designation of the sun. Thus, Baal was the name for the sun in the Age of Taurus (Bull), which was ruled by Venus. The Taurean age is one of 12 ages representing the astrological phenomenon called the "precession of the equinoxes," whereby the sun rising at the vernal or spring equinox is backdropped by a different constellation every 2,150 years. The precession takes nearly 26,000 years to move through the 12 constellations, a cycle called the "Great Year." The knowledge of the precession goes back many thousands of years and is found around the globe from China to Mexico,12 reflecting that the socalled primitive ancients were in reality extraordinarily advanced. In addition, when the sun was in Taurus, beginning about 6,500 years ago, the bull motif sprang up in many parts of the world, including the Levant, where it symbolized Baal.

Like the other epithets for "God," Baal is a title meaning "Lord" or "husband"; it is, in fact, a very old appellation for the Deity, and can be found not only in Egypt but also in India as Bala.13 In the ancient languages of Ireland and Sri Lanka, "Baal" means "sun."14 Baal is in reality the earlier name of the character later known as Yahweh, as is stated at Hosea 2:16:

And in that day, says YHWH, you will call me, "My husband," and no longer will you call me "My Baal."

Walker relates that Baal was "The Lord' among ancient Semites; consort of the goddess Astarte ... Every god was a Baal. The title was introduced into Ireland via Phoenician colonies from Spain ... Old Testament Jews worshipped many baalim as past or present consorts of the Goddess Zion (Hosea 2:2-8). Yahweh shared these other gods' temples for a long time, until his priesthood managed to isolate his cult and suppress the others."'5 And Blavatsky says, "The Baal of the Israelites (the Shemesh of the Moabites and the Moloch of the Ammonites) was the identical `Sun-Jehovah,' and he is till now `the King of the Host of Heaven,' the Sun, as much as Astoreth [Astarte] was the `Queen of Heaven'-or the moon."11i The other Baalim worshipped by the Israelites included "Baal Peor," the "Lord of the Gap," and "Baal Berith," "Lord of the Covenant." Another was "Baal Jehoshua," also Joshua or Jesus, the "Lord of Salvation," long before the Christian era.

Another word basically the same as Baal is Adonis, which in the plural is Adonai, a term used for "Lord" over 400 times in the Hebrew bible. Adonis, like Baal and El, is an epithet for the sun.

Yahweh

The attempted changeover from Elohim/Baalim/Adonai to Yahweh "coincided" with the arrival on the main stage of the Levitical priesthood, as Moses, to whom Yahweh purportedly first appeared, was said to have been a "son of Levi." Among other things, the Levites were fanatic priests obsessed in moving Israel from the Age of Taurus into that of Aries, the Ram/Lamb. In fact, in Exodus 12 Moses resets the precessional clock by changing the beginning of the year and instituting the passover and "the feast of the lamb and the salvation of Israel by the blood of the lamb."17

As stated, prior to being labeled Yahweh, the Israelite god was called "Baal," signifying the sun in the Age of Taurus. When the sun passed into Aries, "the Lord's" name was changed to the Egyptian Iao,18 which became YHWH, IEUE, Yahweh, Jahweh, Jehovah and Jah. This ancient name "IAO/Iao" represents the totality of "God," as the "I" symbolizes unity, the "a" is the "alpha" or beginning, while the "o" is the "omega" or end.

In fact, the name Yahweh, lao, or any number of variants thereof can be found in several cultures:

In Phoenicia the Sun was known as Adonis . . . identical with lao, or, according to the Chinese faith, Yao (Jehovah), the Sun, who makes his appearance in the world "at midnight of the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth month."19

YHWH/IEUE was additionally the Egyptian sun god Ra:

Ra was the father in heaven, who has the title of "Huhi" the eternal, from which the Hebrews derived the name "Ihuh."20
