SECTION XXII: The Great Mountain

Long before Nimrod rebuilt the pre-flood city named Bab-ylon, Door of the Powers / Gods, YHVH had created what lay beyond the door – the false gods’ prison.

“take up this proverb against the king of Bab-ylonHell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming…it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations…How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!…
[But] Rejoice not…
  • for out of the serpent’s [Lucifer’s] root / identical clone shall come forth a cockatrice [first Satan, then his clone Apollo],
  • and his fruit / produce, different from the plant shall be a fiery flying serpent [the god-human hybrid, beginning with Marduk.” (Isaiah 14)

Due to a high-water table by the Euphrates River, there are few artifacts for the pre- and immediate post-flood eras of Babylon, but enough for secular archeologists to determine that the earliest rulers of Babylon were the biblical Amorites. A well-known Bronze Age people initially appearing in Sumerian records c. 2500 BC, i.e. about 200 years before the flood, they ruled most of Mesopotamia, and parts of Egypt until the start of the 16th century BC. This is consistent with the biblical date of the Hebrews Exodus from Egypt with YHVH’s mandate to wipe them out. Validating their biblical description as giants, the Amorites were named for their national god Amurru (Akkadian) or Martu (Sumerian), i.e. Amarutu / Mari-utu “A New Thing!” / Marduk, the first hybrid god-man. Details in Post 83 A New Thing.

This site was called “Babel / Confusion by YHVH’s people for the variety of languages that stopped further development there, and surely also for the confusion thrown into Melchizedek’s efforts to lead humanity to salvation from sin and death available only through YHVH. This expectation is supported by the concomitant action of the first named Sumerian ruler of Babylon, Sumu-abum, which was to capture Kish from the Manana dynasty. As detailed in relevant posts, this was Noah’s Melchizedekian spiritual center. This provides the background data to identify Sumu-abum / First One as Arphaxad, rebel son of Shem son of Noah, the first post-flood Antichrist Gilgamesh, first post-flood ruler of Uruk.
 
In his campaign for regional hegemony Sūmû-abum also became ruler of the First Dynasty of Babylon when he seized Babylon from another Amorite warlord during this anarchic era. However, Sumu-abum and the three Amorite kings succeeding him make no claim to be kings of Babylon, suggesting that the pre-flood site was still being reclaimed from the waters and was not yet a habitable site with its value being a spiritual center. Think Rome with its popes during the Dark Ages. The earliest known mention of Babylon of so much as an inhabited town appears on a clay tablet from the reign of Shar-Kali-Sharri (2217–2193 BC), a descendant of Sargon / Arphaxad, during the Akkadian Empire.

This became a major city-state under Hammurabi / Nimrod, founder of the Old Babylonian Empire, becoming the largest city in the world c. 1770 – c. 1670 BC, and again c. 612 – c. 320 BC. 

 
Archaeological excavations at Nippur have revealed extensive remains of Antichrist’s E / House [of the self-proclaimed god of the] kur /earth, i.e. temple to Satan, cloned son of Lucifer, built in the immediate post-flood era by Gilgamesh / Arphaxad, rebel son of Shem. Details in the relevant posts. Clay tablets inscribed with hymns and administrative records provide insight into the temple’s functions combining political, religious and economic institutions.
 
It was not until the Euphrates riverbanks had stopped being overflown by northern snow melts from the post-apocalyptic ice age, that Nimrod, son of Cush was able to rebuild Babylon, like all the other major Sumerian cities, at its pre-flood site.

Due to a high-water table by the Euphrates River, there are few artifacts for the pre- and immediate post-flood eras of Babylon, but enough for secular archeologists to determine that the earliest rulers of Babylon were the biblical Amorites. Validating their biblical description as hybrids, the Amorites were named for their national god Amurru (Akkadian) or Martu (Sumerian), i.e. Amarutu / Mari-utu “A New Thing!” / Marduk, the first hybrid god-man. Details in Post 83 A New Thing.

“[King] Ahaz [of Judah] sent messengers to Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, saying, I am thy servant and thy son: come up, and save me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, which rise up against me. (II Kings 16:7-8)

“Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem. Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement…Therefore thus saith the LORD God…your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it. (Isaiah 28:14-18)

We must recognize that by naming Lucifer, the prophecy in Isaiah 14 also applies to the prototype, with application as detailed in Isaiah 28 cycling over and over, allowing us to not only recognize past historical applications but future as well. Watching the news during the 2026 Iran War?
 
At the divine gateway to the gods, Ekur’s temple was notable for its massive ziggurat, a stepped pyramid platform for the temple itself, symbolizing connection between the earth and heaven, claimed abode of the gods, denying the biblical account of their imprisonment.

 

A significant role of the king-priest was to provide salvation, which was often accompanied by the words, “Fear not!The greatest fear was the dread of perpetual thirst and hunger in hell in the afterlife. So the king-priest of the pagan god led religious rites to obtain the underworld’s gods’ favor in exchange for improved after-life conditions, although still as a bodiless soul underground. 

As you read the following account, keep in mind that the ancient Sumerian religious documents were carried forward as “the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans” (Daniel 1:4) to subsequent nations.

“Nebuchadnezzar king of [Neo-]Babylon] dreamed dreams…Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said… Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image…a stone [insignificant earthly entity like the chunk of clay out of which God formed the first human] was cut out without hands [by an invisible spiritual entity], which smote the image upon his feet [original empire]…Then was the [entire image with all subsequent empires] broken to pieces together… and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.” (Daniel 2)

After reviewing the Sumerian-based Babylonian religion can we get a flash of insight into what Nebuchadnezzar most certainly recognized?

“The Great Mountain” is none other than the hybrid human made of clay who connects humans to God in heaven. Not Marduk, but the only begotten hybrid son of YHVH, who saves, not by rituals, but by battling and defeating the god of this world, exactly as the first Adam did for his bride.
