Chapter 6-Nehemiah and loss of power  
     
1.
 How do you stop people who worship Dagon and Cybele as Satan and Astarte and sacrifice women and children?  
2.
 The Persians like all educated races that respect the value of truth and despise duplicity and hidden evil behaviour, they despised the ancient behaviours of human sacrifice.  
3.
 While the wicked ways of the Akkadians had been defeated, the Israelites remained stubbornly fixated in their adherence to blood sacrifice and Satanism.  
4.
 The Persians, the ancestors of the Iranians were also people who could be ruthless and there can be no doubt that wise King Nebuchadnezzar would have contemplated the complete genocide of the Jews as one “final solution” to the problem of such evil practices.  
5.
 In contrast, he chose a carrot and the stick approach by sending Jeremiah with scribes and an elite escort accompanied by a brand new set of religious texts called the Books of Moses, the Torah to try and convince the Jews to end their evil ways.  
6.
 The challenge for Jeremiah in trying to save the Jews at the time of his evangelism is not entirely clear until you fully appreciate the level of evil that was in full swing in Jerusalem and throughout the province.  
7.
 The ancient worship of Baal aka Dagon aka Satan was in full operation, with Temple orgies, drug and wine fuelled rituals in which people were sacrificed and their blood and flesh eaten.  
8.
 The Temple priests with their mitre hats, celibate eunichs overseeing wickedness and frenzy.  
9.
 It is so abhorrent to consider that such activities were so openly practices with almost daily frequency around 620 BCE that for many historians and scholars, it simply is easier to reject such notions out of hand.  
10.
 And yet, littered throughout the works of Jeremiah and his scribe are frequent albeit political desensitized references to exactly what was going on. In several locations of his scripture we still have listed references that directly speak of false idol worship and human sacrifice.  
11.
 Of course, to Biblical scholars, these are subjects that are completely taboo and off limits for discussion. The reason is simply this 620 BCE is an extremely recent time frame. When you consider that the Greek were writing about higher society, when Pythagorus and the ancient philosophers were writing, here are the Jews sacrificing their own first born children and other poor souls while engaging in wild orgies re-dedicated to Satan.  
12.
 There is no way of avoiding it. It is written as clearly as anything is written in the Bible. So the only way to address the issue is to not address it, refuse to acknowledge it and preferably find a way to change the subject.  
13.
 But back to Jeremiah, his challenge was enormous. For in considering the pedigree of these rituals of human sacrifice and cannibalism, they represented not recent innovations, or event the adoption of the practices of former conquerors but the very first rituals of the people of Ugarit, the people of YHWH, the Israelites.  
14.
 His solution, presumably discussed and planned by his former captives the Babylonians was brilliant- to effectively re-write the history of the Israelites, thus eliminating the history of Ugarit, of satan worship as the State religion and re-interpret through stories why such practice is no longer acceptable to God.  
15.
 The Babylonians had long overcome their ancient traditions of human sacrifice through embracing Zoroastrianism, a combination of Essene inspired universal monotheism with re-interpreted fertility rituals.  
16.
 No longer did good followers sacrifice people, but small animals to their gods. No longer did they drink the blood of their victims and their flesh, but drank ceremonial wine and bread.  
17.
 It is certain that the Babylonian intellectuals as other intellectuals around the ancient world considered such open and rampant practices an abhoration and supremely evil.  
18.
 The re-interpretation of history was a brilliant idea that drew upon the general history of the ancient Ebla and Ugarit and the mixed values, including the story of Akhenaten now as Moses and was extremely well written.  
19.
 In re-reading Genesis and Exodus in light of trying to end the practice of Satan worship and human sacrifice of the Israelites, and considering the existence of Zoroastrianism at the time (620 BCE) the example of God calling on Abraham not to sacrifice his first born, but use an animal is a wonderful parable, with real theological merit.  
20.
 For most people today who are totally unaware of the parallel hidden stream of Satanism that even exists unto this day, the story of Abraham being called to sacrifice his first born son Isaac makes no sense, if God is a loving god. Indeed, the story remains to modern Christians totally unaware of the past a section that causes great anguish in their faith.  
21.
 Nor do the phrases in the Old Testament concerning God being a “jealous God” make any sense unless you are seeking to change the behaviour of an elite priesthood and wealthy upper class addicted to the power and pleasure of such wicked practices.  
22.
 Sadly, the Bible and history both tell us that he was unsuccessful in his endeavours to persuade by prophecy and in the end, the Babylonians followed up in force and slew all the evil and wicked Israelite satan worshippers they could find.  
23.
 The story has been modified now so that the motives of the Babylonians, the relationship between Jeremiah as their emissary of impending doom and even his life after the destruction of Jerusalem are all mixed around. Yet there is sufficient thread of truth there so that it can be seen for what it was.  
24.
 While the Essenes in later years were bitter that such mythical stories had become belief and truth, they were not written for an evil cause, but in an attempt to defeat evil.  
25.
 It would take the full force of the Persian Army along with a pre-packaged liturgy called the Babylonian Talmud two hundred years through Nehemiah and Ezra to finally establish a quasi-noble religion of the Jews.  
26.
 When the Jeremiah mission failed, King Nebuchadnezzar did what any enlightened person would be expected to do, he destroyed the Temple of Satan, killed the wicked priests and banished the survivors to slavery around the Persian Empire.
