But I never mentioned the devil in the first place, I'm just telling you that the false "pagan" god Zeus is actually Baal, and that the bible literally states that Zeus is Satan.
Lucifer/Satan is associated with all these ancient false pagan gods that I listed above, including Nimrod and his reincarnated form Tammuz.
These entities have nothing in common with our almighty creator God, he is the one and only True Lord of Heaven.
“Zeus” is “derived from the root *diwu-, ‘day (as opposed to night)’ (Lat dies), ‘clear) sky’. He is identified with local weather gods of Asia Minor, with great sky gods (Zeus Beelsêmên,→Baalshamem).”19 Not only was his weapon lightning, but the animal always attached to him is the eagle—for flight. The equivalent at Ugarit may have been “Baal of the wing” (b’l knp).”20 Thus, “The Greek name for the Olympian Zeus when rendered into Semitic language becomes ‘baal shamem’ (2 Macc. 6:2). Literally, this means ‘Lord of Heaven.’”21 Thus, we find that “a temple at Umm el-Amed is dedicated to Baal-Shamem (KAI 18). In Greek inscriptions from this region he is called Zeus hypsistos, ‘Highest →Zeus’, Zeus megistos keraunios, ‘Magnific lightning Zeus.’”22 The Baal who was worshiped on Mount Carmel in the Elijah vs. the prophets of Baal story, was probably the Phoenician deity Baal Shamem (“Lord of Heaven”).
We may have already seen a hint of the relationship between Satan and Baal in the name Beelzebub. This word can mean “Lord” (from Ba’al) “of the House” or “Lord of Flies.” Curiously, the high God of Greece was called “Zeus Averter of Flies.
If this is all true, then suddenly, we have an explanation for the absence of Satan in the OT and the wide-spread presence of Baal in the same place. The reality may very well be that Satan is Baal. Baal is no mere idol. He is a person who resides in heavenly places and is the ultimate usurper of all things that are said of Christ. Jesus, not Baal, is the Cloud-Rider (Dan 7:13; Matt 24:30).25 To him belongs the power of the weather. His is the throne of heaven. He is the Christ. Baal-Zeus-
Jupiter, he who wishes to punish the nations (paraphrasing Plato), is the true antichrist who sits as prince over Rome pretending to be God until he is finally and thoroughly thrown into the lake of fire at the end of days.
If you don't cite it, I can't review it properly. And this is already a nightmare on my phone.
You once again are having an issue due to lack of understanding basic mythology, and biblical writing methods. Parallelism was used a whole lot due to persecution.
Styles of writing on the Bible
Parallelism is a form of poetry without metric rhyme or rhythm. Parallelism is more concerned with the rhythm of thoughts than with rhyme of sounds or words. While there are various types of parallelism, the most common are those that repeat the same thoughts but in different words, those that show contrast, and those that amplify the original thought.
Hermes is the son of Zeus. When you go back to the Bible verse I gave you previously this is giving you information about the two people being discussed. Mercury is the messanger in the same manner the archangel Gabriel is for the Abrahaamic religions. This verse tells you who these two people are, and what their actions were. But, knowing the backstory was to them like saying to us King Author. Instantly the entire tale comes to mind.Just like seeing people referred to as, " Saint" tells you it's a Catholic document.
Being able to use the Greek and Roman names interchangeably is important because astrotheology is a huge part of the Bible. In this manner you take the three ; satan, devil, Lucifer together if you can't distinguish between Lucifer, or satan. Musically DMX uses one line to make the listener connect to an entire song. This makes his lyrics much more powerful 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚝𝚑𝚘𝚜𝚎 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝚎𝚢𝚎𝚜 𝚝𝚘 𝚜𝚎𝚎, 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚜 𝚝𝚘 𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚛. Don't forget how much he loved God, and the Bible. When it comes to the Bible the references are not as obvious to us all these years later in a different geographical location, speaking a different language.
Zeus /Jupiter
Here we have him considered a God of light. Not a God of darkness.
Jupiter
the chief Roman god, husband of Juno, and god of light, of the sky and weather, and of the state and its welfare and its laws compare zeus.
the supreme god of the ancient Greeks, who became ruler of gods and men after he dethroned his father Cronus and defeated the Titans.
Baal is a title
The word ''baal'' means ''lord'' in several ancient Levantine Semantic languages, hence why this title was given to the important god Baal (previously Hadad) during antiquity. Hadad is often called ''Baal'' in ancient texts, including several books of the Hebrew Bible
In this verse the one who walks among the churches shows His perfect understanding of the situation the church at Pergamum faced. He understood the church existed in Satan's stronghold. People in Pergamum worshiped Zeus, the chief god of the Olympian gods. Perhaps the mention of Satan's throne at Pergamum was a reference to the Altar of Zeus. Residents of Pergamum also worshiped the Roman emperor; Dionysius, the god of wine and vegetation; Athena, the goddess of Athens; and Asklepios, the god of healing.
Zeus is not equal at all to our almighty creator God of the Holy Bible buddy, because Zeus is Satan/Lucifer/Baal/Osiris and many other false gods (fallen angels). Are you really too blind to realize that both ZEUS and his way, way older predecessor NIMROD both hold the title "Lord of Heaven" my dude.
Take a look at my chart and realize they are literally one and the same false gods, but you keep on downvoting my posts on a irrelevant conspiracy sub, like the true ungodly pagan/gnostic/occultist you are.
Open your eyes, Baal means way more than just lord buddy!
The ancient Greek historian, Diodorus, reports that Queen Semiramis erected a 130-foot obelisk in Babylon and it was associated with sun worship and represented the phallus of the sun god Baal or Nimrod. Some Masonic researchers say that the word 'obelisk' literally means 'Baal's shaft' or 'Baal's organ of reproduction'. It is for this reason that the obelisk also represents the Illuminati bloodlines.--David Icke
Eliphas Levi, a nineteenth-century satanist whose works inspired the writings of Albert Pike, the Sovereign Grand Commander of international Freemasonry. Levi enthusiastically reports: The pentagram with two horns in the ascendant represents Satan, or the goat of the Sabbath. (The horn) downward naturally represents the demon, that is, intellectual subversion, disorder and folly. Esoterically, the star symbolizes man as deity, as the universe embodied. It also stands for Sirius, the "Dog Star" or planet where Satan dwells. It stands for "Thor," the ancient Nordic God, and it stands for Baal, or Bel, the demonic God so often mentioned in derisive terms in the Old Testament. This same star God was worshipped in Egypt, and the children of Israel, while wandering in the desert, fell under his hypnotic powers. They called him Moloch, Chiun, and Remphan. The prophet Amos castigated the Jewish idolaters for this unholy sacrilege: But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your God, which ye made to yourselves.
(Amos 5:20) > http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/codex_magica/codex_magica26.htm
BAAL-ZEBUB, a deliberate Hebrew distortion of the name of the god of Ekron in 2 Kings. In the Gospels of Mark and Luke, Beelzebul, the Greek form of the epithet Baal-zebul [Baal the Prince], is encountered. See Baal and Satan. http://www.questia.com/library/encyclopedia/baal_zebub.jsp
In sum, the “throne of Satan” in Revelation 2:13 would have evoked both Zeus and the Roman emperor for the earliest audiences of Revelation. According to Revelation 12:7–9, Michael and his angels defeat the great red Dragon15 and his angels in a heavenly battle and cast them down to earth. This dragon is explicitly identified with Satan in 12:9, “And the great dragon was thrown down, the ancient serpent, who is called ‘Devil’ and ‘Satan,’ who leads the entire inhabited world astray.”
Your last comment agrees with me. You don't understand what you're working with, and you're not listening to me explain in detail the same thing. You're in what I call Jesus freak mode where everything is evil.
Zeus not equal TO US. When you examine ancient manuscripts you have to use the standards of that time, or you're imposing your values rather than learning theirs. Your opinion is wrong. If you don't like being wrong, stop being wrong.
I down vote you because you're wrong. I go out of my way to define, and cite so that you can read all of it not just what I think is important. You added some text in an edit that is giving you the same information I've been giving you. I don't even need any links to click.
You picked ancient history, ancient manuscripts, and the Bible. I love this topic! 'The Genesis 6 Conspiracy " by Gary Wayne was one of my favorite reads even if I didn't agree 100% because I had already read most of that books bibliagraphy.
Nimrod, also spelled Nemrod, legendary biblical figure of the book of Genesis. Nimrod is described in Genesis 10:8–12 as “the first on earth to be a mighty man. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord.”
While I'm far from perfect, and I still learn all the time you're not going over new material. Unless you're Manly P. Hall, or Dr. JPF with massive amounts of written material it is not appropriate to cite yourself. You haven't proved your point, you're going in circles.

Zeus not equal TO US. When you examine ancient manuscripts you have to use the standards of that time, or you're imposing your values rather than learning theirs. Your opinion is wrong. If you don't like being wrong, stop being wrong.
You were the one who originally stated that Zeus is "good", and that he is basically the same as our creator God from the Bible, which is a blatant lie! What kind of Christian are you, to compare false Pagan gods to the one and only True God who made you?
"the first on earth to be a mighty man. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord.”
Many words in old English doesn't mean the same today. Like the word before means against in most cases.
He was a “mighty hunter before Yahuah”. The word “before”
means “against” in the Hebrew if you check a
concordance. Nimrod turned the people against
the truth, and began the worship of the sky luminaries. Children were sacrificed in exchange for
prosperity. He wore a headpiece with a “horn” in
front as ruler, a symbol of power and authority. In
fact, all crowns that are modeled with “horns” are
based on this design. The marauding heathens of
Ghengis Khan and the Vikings of the Norse wore
horned hats and helmets in their wars. Nimrod’s
idolatry and ruthlessness caused his uncle, Shem,
to destroy him, cutting his body into parts and
distributing them around the kingdom. It is said
Nimrod took his mother, Semiramis as a wife. At
his death, his wife/mother consoled the people of
Sumer by saying she carried Nimrod’s child, and
named him Tammuz.
In that context the word “before” literally means “against”, which means that Nimrod was a false "pagan" god that was "AGAINST" the Lord, our almighty creator GOD. Zeus and his Babylonian predecessor Nimrod/Baal/Shamash were never good like you claim them to be, but they were actually always evil!
Nimrod, who was born on December 25th, the High Sabbath of Babylon, was the founder of Babylon and the city of Nineveh. In the history of mankind, Nimrod stands unequaled for his symbolism of evil and Satanic practices. In the history of mankind, Nimrod stands unequalled for his symbolism of evil and Satanic practices. He is credited for having founded Freemasonry and for building the legendary Tower of Babel, in defiance of God's will. In talmudic literature, he is noted as "he who made all the people rebel against God." Pes. 94b. The legend of the Midrash recounts that when Nimrod was informed of Abraham's birth, he ordered all the male children killed, to be certain of eliminating him. Abraham was hidden in a cave, but in latter life he was discovered by Nimrod, who then ordered him to worship fire. Abraham refused and was thrown into the fire.
The legendary symbol for Nimrod is "X." The use of this symbol always denotes witchcraft. When "X" is used as a shortened form meaning Christmas, it actually means "to celebrate the feast of Nimrod." A double X, which has always meant to double-cross or betray, in its fundamental meaning indicates one's betrayal into the hands of Satan. When American corporations use the "X" in their logo, such as "Exxon," the historic Rockefeller firm of Standard Oil of New Jersey, there can be little doubt of this hidden meaning.
The importance of Nimrod in any study of the occult cannot be over-emphasized. Because of the powers given him by the clothing of Adam and Eve, Nimrod became the first man to rule the whole world. He indulged that power by launching excesses and horrors which have never been equalled. Ever since the time of Nimrod, Babylon has been the symbol of depravity and lust. Nimrod also introduced the practice of genocide to the world. His grandfather, Ham, having consorted with other races, and brought children of mixed race into the world, was persuaded by his consort, the evil Naamah, to practice ritual murder and cannibalism. She informed Ham that by killing and eating fair-skinned people, his descendants could regain their superior qualities. Throughout the ensuing centuries, the fair-skinned descendants of Shem, Noah's oldest son, have ritually been slaughtered by the darker descendants of Ham and Nimrod, in the world's most persistent campaign of racial and religious persecution. Not only did Nimrod kill and eat the fair-skinned descendants of Shem, in his fury and hatred he often burned them alive. The type of human sacrifice involving the eating of the slaughtered human victims derived its name from the combined names of his uncle, Canaan, and the demon god Baal, the two names being combined to form the word "cannibal." Nimrod was also known in ancient history by the names of Marduk, Bel, and Merodach. Because of his importance in its history, Babylon was known as the Land of Nimrod. Nimrod is also cited in the most ancient Masonic constitutions as the founder of Freemasonry. The Curse Of Canaan: A Demonology Of History by Eustace Mullins
since Masonry has replaced the cross of Jesus with an "X" representing their own 'christ', that 'christ' of Masonry was the Biblical Antichrist; therefore, the "X" in modern Freemasonry represents Antichrist! Thus, the "X" in the Skull & Bones symbol represents the Black Magick Masonry symbol for Antichrist. http://www.cuttingedge.org/NEWS/n1980.cfm
“Christmas” (x-mass) was originally a heathen festival celebrated on the 25th of December in honour of the birth of Nimrod/Tammuz (Ezek. 8:14), also called Baal the Sun-god, the son of Semiramis, the Babylonian queen of heaven.
The decorating of an evergreen tree was part of the worship of Nimrod/Tammuz or Baal, the Sun-god of ancient Babylon. Through the Church of Rome – the Babylon of the Apocalypse – this act of Baal-worship has been handed down through the centuries. Deluded Protestants, by setting up Christmas trees in their homes, schools and churches, are guilty before God of upholding and perpetuating a practice peculiar to the worship of Baal. How can anything connected with the worship of Baal be pleasing to the Lord? Was it not for countenancing such worship that the judgments of the Lord repeatedly fell upon the people of Israel of old? (See 1 Samuel 12:9,10).
The Madonna and Child on Christmas cards and stamps is just Semiramis, the Babylonian queen of heaven and her son Tammuz (who is the reincarnation of Nimrod), adopted by the Church of Rome to represent the Virgin Mary and her Son Jesus. “The Babylonians in their popular religion,” wrote Rev. Alex. Hislop in The Two Babylons, “supremely worshipped a Goddess Mother and a son, who was represented in pictures and images as an infant or child in his mother’s arms. . . .”
But I never mentioned the devil in the first place, I'm just telling you that the false "pagan" god Zeus is actually Baal, and that the bible literally states that Zeus is Satan.
Lucifer/Satan is associated with all these ancient false pagan gods that I listed above, including Nimrod and his reincarnated form Tammuz.
