The New Age Movement
The New Age Movement is an extremely large Satanic NETWORK, with no official leader, headquarters, or membership list and its influence is everywhere. Basically, what it comes down to is…if you’re not Christian, you’re New Age. The philosophies of this ungodly movement have their roots in ancient occult traditions, dating back to Nimrod and the Tower of Babel. It is being called the “New Spirituality”, with open-arms to all religions, except those who believe in Jesus Christ. They believe that ALL roads lead to god. What is amazing is that they embrace EVERY false god there is in the whole world, EXCEPT THE TRUE GOD!
The NAM is both a religious and a social movement, where followers are told to “awaken” their god consciousness through Transcendental Meditation, Yoga, Hypnosis, visualization, etc. New Agers believe in the Universal ONENESS, with the idea that all of reality is essentially ONE (monism). The monist sees everything as a single organic whole and they believe that we are all part of each other and part of nature (Gaia worship) and that people are to awaken to the utopian bliss that their gurus are saying is coming on this earth. How ironic that they are actually paving the way for the One World Order, where the Antichrist will enslave every last person on earh in his Global Order (including the New Ager, who is preaching the gospel of THE ANTICHRIST!). The Bible tells us what will happen in the End and it IS NOT going to be a utopian bliss! Far from it! It will be a time of trouble such as has NEVER happened before. It’s called the Tribulation (read our article on the Great Tribulation).
New Agers are promoting the ‘inner space’ of the mind. Their focus is SELF; to go inside themselves to find their answers. It teaches that mankind has unlimited powers of the mind and are not to think of themselves as sinful, but instead as DIVINE and that THEY actually create god, through the powers of their own mind. This is ABSOLUTELY contrary to what the authoritative Word of God teaches, when it says “ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” Humanity's problem is SIN…not ignorance of divinity!
Furthermore, let it be stated, that MAN has no powers. There are two powers in the Universe…GOD and Satan (and Satan’s power is no match to God’s…remember he still remains a CREATED foe and what awaits him is Hell). So if the New Ager thinks he has entered into the “powers of his own mind”, let him THINK AGAIN! He has, in REALITY, joined forces with the powers of DARKNESS and the TRUTH is NOT IN HIM!
I Corinthians 15:40 tells us there are celestial and terrestrial bodies. Mankind is TERRESTRIAL (earthy) and in no way is he CELESTIAL (Heavenly). Mankind was CREATED by God and made a little lower than the angels. He will NEVER ascend to the state of godhood! NEVER…not even in Heaven! There is ONE GOD, and there always will be FOREVER! Read Ezekiel 28 and learn of the punishment of the prince of Tyrus. Verse 2 says, “Thus saith the Lord God; Because thine heart is LIFTED UP and thou hast said I AM A gOD, I SIT IN THE SEAT OF GOD, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a MAN and NOT GOD….“ Read on in verses 8 and 9, “They shall bring thee down to the pit and thou shalt die the death of them that are slain in the midst of the seas. Wilt thou YET SAY before him that slayeth thee I AM gOD? But thou be a MAN, and NO God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.“
Satan is clever; for through the New Age Movement, he is being worshipped as god without the unsuspecting New Agers even knowing it. When you reverence and worship ANY IDOL (including YOURSELF), you are actually worshipping Satan. Satan doesn’t care what name you worship him by, including your own name.
Satan’s purpose in establishing the New Age Movement, is to CHANGE the way people perceive things, by SHIFTING their thinking onto SELF and away from God. It is, by far, the most blasphemous belief system that ever arose out of the pits of Hell! What these DECEIVED people don’t know is that this worship of SELF will have to be set aside when the Tribulation happens, because the book of Revelation says the Antichrist will cause “ALL“ to worship HIM as god. (So much for the ‘short-lived’ worship of SELF, huh?)
The occult essence of the New Age Movement definitely fits the title given in Revelation 17:5, "Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of all harlots and abominations of the Earth.“ This is the Apostate church in all of its many facets. The Whore of Babylon is serving her purpose right now, with all her so-called “enlightened” answers, but when the Beast takes control, she is in for a rude awakening, because he will turn against her.
Another one of their beliefs is that all things that we normally think of as 'reality' are mere ‘projections’ of the so-called true 'Ultimate Reality'. This 'Ultimate Reality' is seen as a 'Force'. Other names for this New Age Force are Awareness, Bliss, Principle, Being, Energy, Essence, Vibration, and Universal Consciousness.
The New Age Movement is a huge and well organized network, consisting of thousands of groups, trusts, foundations, clubs, lodges, and religious groups whose goal and purpose is to prepare the world to enter the coming "Age Of Aquarius." Their message is that the New Age of “enlightenment” is at hand, which coincides with the occult meaning of the Great Seal on the American One Dollar Bill, with the capstone above the unfinished pyramid ready to be lowered. The elite of the Illuminati believe that the world will then be “ILLUMINED“ and become ONE with the All Seeing Eye of Horus!
Just to name a few of the organizations of the New Age network, they are: Amnesty International, Zero Population Growth, California New Age Caucus, New World Alliance, World Goodwill, The Church Universal and Triumphant, The Theosophical Society, the Forum, Planetary Initiative for the World We Choose, the Club of Rome, Christian Science, and the Unity School of Christianity.
This movement is endeavoring to establish a World Food Authority, World Water Authority, World Economic Order, and an entirely New World Order. Apparently, in order to enter this New Age, a person will have to take what is known as a "Luciferic Initiation," a kind of pledge of allegiance to the so-called New Age christ (the Antichrist in disguise) and to the New World Order. The New Agers are moving right into the hands of Satan and his plans for the New World Order of Antichrist! So who are we to believe? MAN or the GOD OF CREATION?
Shirley MacLaine, actress and prominent believer in New Ageism, made this blasphemous statement:
'You are everything. Everything you want to know is inside of you. You are the Universe. Maybe the tragedy of the human race was that we had forgotten that we were each divine. You must never worship anyone or anything other than self. For you are god. To love self is to love god. I exist- therefore I am. I know that the god Source exists- therefore it is. Since I am part of that Source, then I AM that I AM.' -Shirley MacLaine, Out on a Limb, 1983 Bantam Books, New York.
How to identify the New Age Movement:
Look for words like……….All is one….All is god….Humanity is god….A change in consciousness….All religions are one…. an impersonal god ”force”….that the nature of “matter is illusionary” (like Quantum Physics heresies)….reincarnations….the evolution of man into godhood….revelations from beings beyond this world….self as god….meditation (or other consciousness-changing techniques)…. occult practices (astrology, mediums, etc.)…..vegetarianism and holistic health….pacifism….one world (global) order; and syncretism (unity of all religions). The New Age also encompasses a wide array of notions: spiritualism, astrology, bioenergy, Chi energy, chakras, nirvana, Kabbalism, Christ-consciousness, Native American Spirituality, Prajna, out-of-body/near-death experiences, reincarnation, and the occult disciplines, as well as unorthodox psychotherapeutic techniques and pseudoscientific applications of the "healing powers" of crystals and pyramids. Some commonly used New Age terms are: guided imagery, reincarnation; positive thinking; human potential; holistic; holographic; synergistic; unity; oneness; transformation; awakening; networking; communal sharing; one-world/globalism/new world order (i.e., one language, one government, one currency, one religion); cosmic consciousness; etc.
Volumes could be written on the huge diversity of its Network. It is important for Christians to recognize even the smallest forms of the New Age Movement. Some New Age practices are: rebirthing;inner healing; biofeedback; yoga; I Ching; reflexology; black and white magic; fire-walking; trance-channeling; therapeutic touch; transpersonal psychology; witchcraft; parapsychology; Magick; Tai Chi; Shamanism; hypnotherapy; acupuncture/acupressure; TM; martial arts; Zen; Relaxation; Erhard Seminar Training; Silva Method (formerly Silva Mind Control); visualization; etc.
The following sums up the New Age Movement in a nutshell:We are powerful spirit beings ~~~ We pre-existed before our present lives on earth ~~~ Reincarnation ~~~ The human species will evolve into its Christ consciousness or god state ~~~ God is a force, everyone and everything is part of this creative force ~~~ Because God is in everything, our collective thoughts create reality ~~~The mother earth is part of the force and she is a living entity (this is ‘Gaia worship)~~~ If the abuse of mother earth continues, she will have to defend herself with severe natural upheavals ~~~ We must reduce our population and eliminate all the negative thinking people by education or removal ~~~ Some in the New Age believe that alien life forms “seeded” us here in the beginning and that they will return.
What to stay away from: Getting in touch with your inner self ~~~ Inner healing ~~~ Signs and wonders ministries ~~~ The course of miracles ~~~ Contact with ascended masters ~~~ Contact with aliens ~~~ Soul travel ~~~ Out of body experiences ~~~ Spirit guides ~~~ Near death experiences ~~~ Yoga ~~~ Positive confession ~~~ Possibility thinking ~~~ Your words have power, so you can speak things into existence (Quantum Physics) ~~~ Imaging ~~~ Evolution ~~~ Visions from Mary ~~~ Apparitions related to Mary ~~~ Crying statues ~~~ Slaying in the spirit ~~~ Laughing, barking and other strange out-of-control behavior ~~~ Schools, claiming to be Christian, that teach one how to become a prophet ~~~ Witchcraft ~~~ Shamanism ~~~ Altered states of consciousness ~~~ Hypnotism ~~~ Collective consciousness ~~~ Reaching Christ consciousness ~~~ Sweat lodges ~~~ The lord Maitreya ~~~ The Krishna ~~~ Iman Mahdi ~~~ Dalai Lama ~~~ Robert Schuller ~~~ The power of positive thinking ~~~ Gaia ~~~ The reincarnation of Christ in another body ~~~ There are many paths to God/all religion leads to God ~~~ Unity ~~~ Mormans ~~~ Masons ~~~ Scientology ~~~ Zen Buddhism ~~~ We are about to evolve to a higher life form ~~~ Animal rights and elevation of other species to the level of human beings ~~~ Alternate lifestyles ~~~ Rejection of Christian morality and beliefs ~~~ There are no moral absolutes ~~~Vegetarianism, health food, organic food products (as a higher lifestyle) ~~~ Holistic healing, alternative medicine (taken to mystic extremes) ~~~ Psychics, remote viewers, channelers, astrologers, fortune tellers ~~~ Team concepts (to replace individualism) ~~~ Personality typing and profiling ~~~ Diversity training ~~~ The basic goodness of man ~~~ Personal gurus ~~~ Self improvement seminars ~~~ Outcome based education ~~~ It takes a village ~~~ You can be anything you want to be ~~~ Abortion, birth control, family planning, the right to choose ~~~ Alien encounters ~~~ Psycho therapy ~~~ Dominionism ~~~ Latter Rain movement ~~~ Joel’s Army ~~~ Manifest Sons of God ~~~ Replacement Theology ~~~ Supersession Theology ~~~ The Force ~~~ Wizards ~~~ Edgar Casey ~~~ Pyramid power ~~~ Crystal power ~~~ New Spirituality ~~~ Kabbalah ~~~ The Secret ~~~ Alternate lifestyles ~~~ Feminism (hence Mother Gaia)~~~ All-Seeing Eye ~~~ Unicorn ~~~ Yin Yang ~~~ God is both masculine and feminine, the Rainbow (symbolizing the bridge between man and the Great Universal Mind, which is not God but Lucifer) ~~~ Goat Head on pentagram ~~~All paths lead to God.
This multi-facetted Network of deception is sweeping the Globe; it’s everywhere! At the center of this New Age spirituality is faith in MAN and in the so-called energies or ‘life force’ throughout the cosmos. This New Age philosophy, in all of its ‘modern sophistication’, is deceiving the world with NONE OTHER than the same words that Satan used to seduce Eve, when he said “Ye shall be as gods.” (Genesis)

Satanic books of our day, with APOSTATE Jewish Rabbis as the Kabbalah’s greatest promoters! The Kabbalah is JEWISH MYSTICISM and MAGIC, which the New Age Movement, in these Last Days, has adopted as DOCTRINE. Kabbalah is the counterfeit of Satan; a mixture of demonic, pagan philosophy and esoteric gnosticism. The FACT that OCCULT GROUPS worldwide cherish the Kabbalah should speak volumes to anyone who may consider it a holy book. IT IS NOT!
II Thessalonians 2:7 says “The Mystery of Iniquity doth already work (and this was said back in the days of the Apostles).” In Strong’s Concordance (3466), it states, “Among the ancient Greeks, the ‘mysteries’ were religious rites and ceremonies, practiced by Secret Societies. Since Paul had originally been initiated into the Pharisaic Sect before he came to Christ, HE KNEW that the “Mystery of iniquity” meant SECRET BABYLONIAN KABBALISTIC MYSTERIES! Even back in Ezekiel’s day (Ezekiel 8), this Secret Mystery of Iniquity was being carried out in the Temple behind closed doors and it continued into Jesus’ day! The Pharisees were the priests and elders of the Temple in that day and Jesus pronounced “Woe” to them and said they were of their father the devil.
After Jesus died for our sins and then rose to Heaven, we have been in the “Times of the Gentiles”, which means that because of Israel’s rebellion against God ALL THIS TIME, He basically divorced them (so to speak) and opened the door of salvation to the Gentiles. Read the parable of the Wedding in Matthew 22, where it says ‘He called them (Jews) to the wedding, but they would not come, so He called people from the highways (symbolic of Gentiles). When Jerusalem and the Temple were destroyed (as Jesus said it would be) in 70AD, the Times of the Gentiles began and when the Times of the Gentiles are “fulfilled” (when that last Gentile gets saved), Jesus will return.
And what do most of the Churches of today preach? They put the JEWS up there on a pedestal, like they are Royalty...when all they ever did was blaspheme God....and that’s why God gave them over to a “reprobate mind”! I’m not speaking of the faithful Hebrew children, but the ones who rebelled against God all through the Old Testament and then the ones who never acknowledged that Jesus was the Messiah.
Wikipedia says: A hexagram is a six-pointed geometric star figure, the compound of two equilateral triangles. The intersection is a regular hexagon. While generally recognized as a symbol of Jewish identity it is used also in other historical, religious and cultural contexts, for example in Islam, and Eastern Religions as well as in Occultism.
The Star of David is used in the seal and the emblem of the Theosophical Society (founded by Blavatsky in 1875, which is Luciferian GNOSTICISM). It is also used in the Swastika, the Ankh, the Aum, and the Ouroborus (snake eating its tail). The Star of David is also known as the Seal of Solomon; that was its original name until around 50 years ago. The hexagram is featured within and on the outside of many Masonic temples as a decoration.
The hexagram, like the pentagram, was and is used in practices of the occult and is attributed to the 7 'old' planets outlined in astrology. The six-pointed star is commonly used both as a talisman and for conjuring spirits in the practice of witchcraft. In the Book The History and Practice of Magic, Vol. 2, the six-pointed star is called the talisman of Saturn.
The Six-point interlocking triangles has been used for thousands of years as an indication a sword was made, and "proved," in the Damascus area of the Middle East. Still today, it is a required "proved" mark on all official UK and U.S. military swords though the blades themselves no longer come from the Middle East.
The fig tree in Matthew 24 symbolizes the Land of Israel that was to be RESTORED in the End Time and Jesus used it as a SIGN of the End Time generation. Basically He was saying the generation that sees the rebirth of SECULAR Israel back in the land of Israel and the revival of Kabbalism, will know that that generation will not end before the Tribulation starts and Jesus returns.
So many so-called Christians are blindly caught-up in the establishment of the old Israeli monarchy, the third temple, animal sacrifices, the Sanhedrin and the Noahide Laws. Well, the Jews DIDN’T WANT TO GO TO THE WEDDING...so God called the Gentiles...and for 2000 years the Times of the Gentiles have been in affect.....UNTIL THE TIMES OF THE GENTILES BE FULFILLED!!! The JEWS of today “ARE NOT” the chosen people of God!!!! That is the BIGGEST LIE OF HELL...ONLY THE HEBREW PEOPLE WHO LOVED AND OBEYED GOD were the chosen of God and the ones through which Jesus came to us through!!!!!!
WHERE DID PAGANISM ORIGINATE?
Since that time, Satan has been preparing mankind to be "united" again into a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT, so that 'nothing will be restrained' from Satan's 'imagined' evil plans of taking over the Throne of God.
Nimrod's father Cush, married a woman named Semiramis. Later on Nimrod married his own mother! After Nimrod's death, Semiramis promoted the belief that he was a god and claimed that she saw a full-grown evergreen tree spring out of the roots of a dead tree stump, symbolizing the springing forth of new life for Nimrod. She declared that on the anniversary of his birth, December 25th (during the winter solstice), Nimrod would visit the evergreen tree and leave gifts under it. (Which is the real origin of Christmas, a pagan holiday)..... NOTE: No Christian holiday is as deceptive as Christmas! What do evergreen trees, Yule logs, mistletoe or Santa (Satan) have to do with Jesus (who was NOT born on Dec. 25th)?
Pagans developed the belief (during the time of Babel until Christ), that the days grew shorter in early winter because their sun-god (Nimrod/Tammuz), was leaving them. And when the length of day started increasing, they celebrated by feasting and orgies, known as Saturnalia; named after Saturn, another name for Nimrod.
Nimrod's body parts were strewn all around the kingdom after he was killed and Semiramis found all of the parts except his reproductive organ, his 'phallus', so she erected a statue of it. (In order for Nimrod to come back to life, she had to have all the body parts). This is where the Obelisk originated from, from which the Washington Monument, the Obelisk that sits in St. Peters Square in Rome and numerous other Obelisks around the world originated from. This phallus-shaped Obelisk is where the church "steeple" originated from, as well.
Semiramis told the people of Babylon that Nimrod had ascended to the sun and was now to be called Baal, the sun-god. Semiramis was creating a mystery religion and with the help of Satan, she set herself up as a goddess. She claimed that the moon was a goddess and went through a 28-day cycle and ovulated when full. She further claimed that she came down from the moon in a giant moon-egg that fell into the Euphrates River. This was to have happened at the time of the first full moon, after the spring equinox.
Then Semiramis bore a son, Tammuz. She stated that she had been visited by the spirit of Nimrod, who left her pregnant. She declared that Tammuz was Nimrod reincarnated. (Which is where reincarnation originated from). Thus, a perverted 'trinity' was formed; with a father, mother and son, deified. Semiramis (Ishtar) was worshipped as the Mother of god and Queen of Heaven.
When Tammuz was killed by a wild boar, Semiramis proclaimed a 40-day period of mourning each year prior to the anniversary of his death. Ezekiel 8:14 speaks of this pagan mourning-worship of Tammuz ("there sat women weeping for Tammuz").
By now, you should have made the connection, that paganism has infiltrated the contemporary "Christian" churches, and further study indicates that this paganism came in by way of the Roman Catholic System.
Every year on the first Sunday after the first full moon (after the spring equinox), a celebration was made with rabbits and eggs, and a 'pig' must be eaten on that Sunday. The truth is that Easter has nothing whatsoever to do with the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Easter is a pagan holiday, named after Semiramis (Ishtar, which is pronounced Easter). It is in celebration of the pagan mother Semiramis, the Queen of Heaven!.... The truth is that the forty days of Lent (weeping for Tammuz), eggs, rabbits, hot cross buns and the Easter ham have everything to do with the ancient pagan religion of Mystery Babylon. These are all antichrist activities! Satan is a master deceiver, and has filled the lives of well-meaning, professing Christians with idolatry!
In his deified form, Nimrod the Sun-god is known as Baal. Mythology reveals the fact that the god Baal and the queen of heaven, were universally worshiped under various names and titles. History confirms, that Nimrod, and his wife, Semiramis, were the PROTOTYPES for "ALL" the gODS AND gODDESSES that have come into existence in all cultures and societies, to this day!
Nimrod became both the husband and son of Semiramis, and was worshipped as both god the father and god the incarnate son. The father and son were worshipped by different names in the various languages throughout the world. For instance, the respective Greek and Roman names applied to the worship of Nimrod include: ARES and MARS, the god of war..... EROS and CUPID, the god of love.....HEPHAPTUS and VULCAN, the god of fire..... HERMES and MERCURY, the messenger of the gods.....POSIEDON and NEPTUNE, the god of the sea..... ZEUS and JUPITER, the ruler of the gods..... KRONOS and SATURN, the horned and hidden god of the underworld..... DIONYSUS or BACCHUS, the Greek god of fertility and wine.....and the Greek PLUTO or HADES and the Roman PLUTO, the god of the underworld.....In addition, Nimrod was the Scandinavian god, ODIN or WODAN, who was also known in Mexican mythology as the founder of the Mexican race.....He was the Egyptian god OSIRIS.....In the Bible, Nimrod was called TAMMUZ (Ezekiel 8:14) and Molech (Leviticus 18:21; 20:1-5; 1 Kings 11:7; Jeremiah 7:29-34; 19:1-13; Ezekiel 20:26-39; Amos 5:26.....He was worshipped in Babylon as EL-BAR, meaning "god the son".....In Assyria, Nimrod was called BAAL, BAL or BELUS meaning "lord".....As the Greek ATLAS, Nimrod was viewed lifting the heavens off the earth, representing the fact that he lifted the oppressive heavenly teachings of one invisible God off the people's preferred worship of earth-bound objects. (thunderministries)
Semiramis, who was both Nimrod's wife and mother, was worshiped as the "mother of god" and a "fertility goddess" because she had to be extremely fertile to give birth to all the pagan incarnate gods that represented Nimrod. She was worshiped throughout the world by each the titles associated with Nimrod's worship, in addition to many titles unique to herself. For instance, the respective Greek and Roman names applied to the worship of Semiramis include: APHRODITE and VENUS, the goddess of love; ARTEMIS and DIANA, the goddess of hunting and childbirth; ATHENA and MINERVA, the goddess of crafts, war and wisdom; DEMETER and CERES, the goddess of growing things; GAIA and TERRA, symbol of the fertile earth (from where the "Gaia", Mother Earth worship of today comes from); HERA and JUNO, the protector of marriage and women, who was the sister and wife of Zeus in Greek mythology, and the wife of Jupiter in Roman mythology; HESTA and VESTA, the goddess of the hearth; plus RHEA or OPS, who was wife and sister of the Greek horned-god Kronos.
Semiramis was initially included in the pagan Babylonian trinity as the holy spirit or seed of the divine son in his mother's womb. Within time, however, the father Nimrod was practically overlooked and worshiped only as the god-incarnate son in his mother's arms. In other words, the father became invisible and was no longer worshiped, whereas, the mother with the god-incarnate son in her arms became the grand object of worship. Numerous Babylonian monuments show the goddess-mother Semiramis with her son in arms. This worship of mother and child spread throughout the known world, and given different names in the various languages of the world. Ancient Germans worshipped the virgin HERTHA with child in arms. Scandinavians called her DISA pictured with child. The Egyptian mother and child were worshiped as ISIS with the infant OSIRIS or HORUS seated on his mother's lap (EYE OF HORUS ON TOP OF THE PYRAMID). In India, the mother and child were called DEVAKI and KRISNA, and also ISI and ISWARA as they are worshiped to this day. In Asia, they were known as CYBELE and DEOISIS; in pagan Rome, as FORTUNA and JUPITER-PUER, or JUPITER, the boy; in Greece, as CERES, the great mother with babe at her breast, or as IRENE, the goddess of peace, with the boy PLUTUS in her arms.
The image of mother with child in her arms was so firmly entrenched in the pagan mind that by the time Christianity appeared on the scene in 30 A.D., these statues and paintings were merely RENAMED and worshiped as the virgin Mary with her infant son. Thus, the pagan mother and child entered Christianity as the Roman Catholic worship of Mary with the infant son. In fact, in Tibet, China, and Japan, Jesuit missionaries were astonished to find the counterpart of the madonna and child as devoutly worshiped as they were in Rome. Shing Moo, the holy mother in China was portrayed with a child in her arms and a glory around her, exactly as if she had been fashioned by Roman Catholic artisans. (NOTE: This woman is not Mary, it's Semiramis and the baby is not Jesus, it's Tammuz. Furthermore, Jesus is not to be worshipped as a BABY "or" WITH any other person!)
MOTHER WORSHIP
The pagan mother initially derived her deification from the divine nature attributed to her child. She was raised far above the level of all creatures, and worshiped as a partaker of the trinitarian godhead. The mother eventually became the preferred object of worship. The son was exhibited merely as a child in his mother's arms without any particular attraction, whereas the mother's image was displayed in magnificent artistic array and invested with the exquisite beauty attributed to Semiramis during her life.
To justify worship of the mother, she was elevated to a divine station just like her god-incarnate son. The deified queen mother was adored as the incarnation of the holy spirit of peace and love. The highest titles were accordingly bestowed on her. In Egypt, the mother was styled ATHOR, the "habitation of god" to signify that all the "fulness of the godhead" dwelt in her womb.
In Egypt, as the "queen of heaven" she was the greatest and most worshiped of all the divinities. During Egyptian bondage, the Israelites repeatedly departed from the one true invisible God and worshiped the pagan mother. When the Israelites fell into apostasy under King Solomon, they worshiped this mother goddess as ASHTAROTH, a name by which the pagan Babylonian goddess was known to the Israelites:
Pagan Worship of Mary and Jesus
The worship of Mary and the infant son originated with the pagan worship of Semiramis and her god-incarnate son. Numerous Babylonian monuments depict the goddess-mother Semiramis with her son in arms. The image of the mother and child was so firmly entrenched in the pagan mind that when Christianity appeared on the scene these pagan statues and paintings were merely RENAMED and worshiped as the virgin Mary and her god-incarnate son.
Semiramis was worshiped in Ephesus as the pagan fertility goddess DIANA who represented the generative powers of nature. She was referred to as a fertility goddess because she mothered all the numerous pagan gods representing the god-incarnate Nimrod. Diana was pictured with numerous teats so that she could nurse all the pagan gods, and she wore a tower-shaped crown symbolizing the Babylonian tower of Babel.

Semiramis is also none other than the United States "STATUE OF LIBERTY"!
This lengthy article has just "touched" on the subject of "Paganism"! There will be further articles to show that from the beginning, Satan started the "indoctrination" of his kingdom, in the worship of HIMSELF, through the gods and goddesses, which are MANY, but actually are the one worship of...Satan! It is a DESGUISED form of worship, to "confuse the masses"! Satan doesn't care what NAME you worship him by, just so long as you aren't worshipping the God of the Bible, our Creator!
This world in which we live is STILL under the leadership of Satan, under the Babylonian System (created by Satan, through Nimrod). It is the System of Antichrist, set up long ago, which has now reached it's fullness and that 'man of sin'(Antichrist) is now ready to be revealed!
But Glory to God, Satan's Kingdom will be taken from him when Jesus, our Redeemer and Lord, and King of Kings shall descend from Heaven and His Feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives and the Millennial Reign of Christ will begin!
Please do not be deceived! There is but ONE GOD and His Name is JESUS!
