The sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan. The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabtechah; and the sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan. Cush begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.” And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. From that land he went to Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah, and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (that is the principal city).
Genesis 10:6-12

00:00Okay, so let's go back to the Tower of Babel.
00:04The Bible actually doesn't say that Nimrod built the Tower of Babel.
00:08It does say that he built Babel, the city of Babel.
00:12And there's clearly a connection spiritually between the two.
00:16I guess we can assume that he inspired it, it was his project.
00:20There are also certain religious associations which are connected with Nimrod,
00:28and false religions.
00:30Now, what I'm going to tell you now is not actually in the Bible.
00:32It's a conclusion which was come to by a man called Alexander Hislop,
00:36who wrote a book called The Two Babylons.
00:39Some people dispute this story and some people say,
00:41well, it's not in the Bible, so you can't take it literally.
00:44And it is true that it's not in the Bible.
00:47But there are myths and stories which are handed down,
00:50which have some bearing upon it, and is interesting from our point of view.
00:55So I'll tell it to you now, you don't have to take this as biblical truth,
00:59but it is an interesting little count into traditions
01:03which were handed down relating to this man, Nimrod.
01:07Nimrod had a wife called Semiramis.
01:10And according to various legends, she was a very powerful woman herself.
01:15She actually be cared to on some occasions as the Queen of Heaven.
01:20And she took on this role as the powerful woman figure alongside the powerful man.
01:27And according to various legends,
01:29Hemiramis became pregnant after engaging in an adulterous affair
01:33while she was still married to Nimrod.
01:35About the same time, Nimrod died an untimely death.
01:39In an effort to retain power and to hide her misdeeds, Semiramis made a claim.
01:45She publicly declared that upon Nimrod's death,
01:48he had been resurrected as the god of the sun.
01:51And as the sun god, Nimrod used his sun rays
01:54to miraculously inseminate Semiramis with child.
01:57This child was thus considered to be divinely conceived.
02:00The child's name was Tammuz, which she claimed was the reincarnated Nimrod.
02:07Therefore Semiramis became both the wife of Nimrod and his mother, her mother, his mother.
02:16So that's just a story.
02:17It's not something which is in the Bible.
02:19But if you see, there are certain parallels which are kind of themes
02:23which have been developed in the development of religion.
02:26You've got the Queen of Heaven, the figure.
02:29You've got the idea of the woman with child.
02:32You've got the idea of reincarnation.
02:34You've got all kinds of concepts which have been repeated and passed on in various religions.
02:41And according to Hislop, this story becomes one of the stories which,
02:48and what comes out of Babylon was going to reproduce itself in some form in all the religions of the world.
02:54And if you look into all the religions, you'll find that there are these themes
02:58of the powerful man-god and the woman-god who becomes the kind of queen of heaven
03:03who is the one who introduces you to the powerful man-god.
03:07And the powerful man-god may be a little bit threatening, but the woman-god is going to be the one who's kind of accessible.
03:13And if you look into the development even of Christianity, you can see that as Christianity became spread amongst the pagans of Rome
03:20when they became Christians, one of the things they said was,
03:23we don't see a woman, we don't see a mother goddess figure within Christianity.
03:28So they searched through the scriptures and they found, well, there's one person we could make into the queen of heaven,
03:33Miriam, Mary, queen of heaven, and mother of Jesus, and make her into the female goddess figure.
03:39And you even got the mother of his child figure, virgin birth, all that kind of thing.
03:43So it kind of fitted in with the pagan ideas which were already there and translated them into a form of paganism
03:49which corrupted true Christianity.
03:55Now, after the scattering that occurred at this Tower of Babel, this story was disseminated through the world,
04:01led to the rise of various birth and death, rebirth cults that littered through history.
04:08And these mystery religions of the future generations were adopted through Semiramis and her child, Tammuz.
04:16In fact, Tammuz, it's interesting, actually, that Tammuz does appear in the Bible.
04:20In the book of Ezekiel, there's a passage where people are, God says, the people are mourning for Tammuz,
04:26and God is angry about this.
04:28And the Jews actually even took Tammuz as one of their months.
04:31So you can see one of the Hebrew months is actually the month of Tammuz.
04:36A little bit strange, but that's in there.
04:39Okay.
