Enufs Enuf User ID: 339212 United Kingdom 10/07/2008 05:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Nice post OP and very informative - I concur with most of your info as it's a large part of my ongoing research. I especially liked this: "THE BOGUS ELECTION IN NOVEMBER IS A DIVERSIONARY TACTIC OF SATAN....THERE IS ONLY ONE ELECTION WE SHOULD BE CONCERNED WITH AT THIS TIME.... ~The Election of Grace~ " I don't think there'll be an election in November....with boosh's brains/handlers orchestrating an ongoing coup in the US and likewise, brown's brains/bankster handlers doing the same over here in the UK - they're hardly going to have a change of leader right now..... I hope and pray that troops, the police and some legal representatives will join 'we the people' and overthrow this ongoing satanic coup against all humanity. |

Just because something SOUNDS like something, it doesn't mean it is. Look up the etymologies to these words before you go comparing them as such. I don't know where we've been and I've just been there. |

Baal isn't even a English word. Just because something SOUNDS like something, it doesn't mean it is. Look up the etymologies to these words before you go comparing them as such. You are wrong. Baal is often called Bel or Beel (Beelzebub, for example). And Mont is often called Mountain. Maybe, just maybe, the OP is onto something here. |

Jeremiah 51:44 And Jehu gathered all the people together, and said unto them, Ahab (BUSH) served Baal a little; but Jehu (NEXT DICTATOR) shall serve him much. 2 Kings 10:18 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. Joshua 24:15 BAAL & BEL -link to www.jewishencyclopedia.com The wide-spread and primitive Semitic root ("ba'al") may be most nearly rendered in English by "possess." The term "Ba'al," therefore, which is usually explained as meaning "lord," is properly "possessor" or "owner," and is so used in a great variety of applications in common Hebrew speech. Thus we read of the "ba'al" of a house, of land, of goods, of a woman (that is, as a husband). It is also generalized so far as to be a mere noun of relation. Thus a "ba'al of dreams"is a dreamer; a "ba'al of anger" is an angry man; a "ba'al of wings" is a bird; a "ba'al of edges" is two-edged; "ba'alim of a covenant" are allies; "ba'als of an oath" are conspirators. Further, a "ba'al" may be the owner of animals (Isa. i. 3; Ex. xxi. 28 et seq.), but not of men as slaves or subjects, for the phrase in Isa. xvi. 8, the "ba'alim" of the nations, implies dominion over regions rather than over people. "Ba'al" in Hebrew is therefore essentially different from "adon," which implies personal sway and control. When any divinity is called "ba'al" or "a ba'al," the designation must be understood to imply not a ruler of men, but a possessor or controller of certain things. On the other hand, the Assyrian (Babylonian) "bēl," originally the same word, implies especially lordship over men, though it is also, as in all north-Semitic languages, used as a mere noun of relation. In Arabic "ba'al," as applied to persons, is confined to the meaning of "husband." (see image) Ba'al as a Sun-God.(From a Phenician stele in the Louvre.) Bel in Babylonia. The question as to the origin of the Worship of Ba'al among the Hebrews can only be settled by tracing it among the Semites in general and especially among the Babylonians. Here the name (Bel) is that of one of the earliest and most honored of national deities. Bel was the special god of Nippur, perhaps the oldest of Babylonian cities. Nippur was in the earliest known times a religious center, and the prestige of Bel was so great that when the city of Babylon became supreme his name was imposed upon that of Merodach, the patron deity of the capital, who was thenceforth known as Bel-Merodach or simply Bel (compare Isa. xlvi. 1). There is, however, nothing to show that Bel was a universal object of Semitic worship before he became the god of Nippur. Moreover, Nippur, like other Babylonian cities, had its own local deity under whose auspices the city itself and its temple were founded, and who seems to have received the name Bel, "lordly, dominant," by reason of the renown and influence of this central shrine. This, however, will hardly account for the place held by Bel in the Babylonian pantheon, where he appears as the god of the earth, distinguished from Anu, the god of the heavens, and Ea, the god of the lower world. Bel seems to have been honored on similar grounds in Lagash in southern Babylonia, and it is reasonable to suppose that it was a combination of the several leading cults of such Bels that led to the unification indicated in the position of the great Babylonian Bel. It appears probable that it was the gradual assimilation of cities and petty states that raised the leading local deities to national prominence. Thereafter other influences, sacerdotal, theological, and administrative, cooperated to make a favorite cult predominant. Bel, accordingly, became a distinct national god, with a proper name, at an early date, though at a comparatively late stage of religious development. |
