TAMMUZ WAS WORSHIPPED AS THE SUN GOD THE SON OF EASTER {ISHTAR} Easter Sunrise
Ishtar which is pronounced Easter was a day that commemorated the resurrection of one of their gods that they called Tammuz, who was believed to be the only begotten son of the moon goddess and the sun-god.
Her moon egg became known as Ishtar’s egg.
Ishtar soon became pregnant and claimed that it was the rays of the sun-god Baal that caused her to conceive.
The son that she brought forth was named Tammuz. He was noted to be fond of rabbits, and they became sacred in the ancient religion, because Tammuz was believed to be the son of the sun-god Baal.
Tammuz became a hunter. When he was killed by a wild pig Queen Ishtar told the people that he was now ascended to his father, Baal (Nimrod), and that the two of them would be with the worshippers in the sacred candle or lamp flame as Father, Son, and Spirit.
The Paganism Of Lent And Weeping For Tammuz!
Semiramis (Ishtar) also proclaimed a forty day period of time of sorrow each year prior to the anniversary of the death of Tammuz.
During this time, no meat was to be eaten.
Worshippers were to meditate upon the sacred mysteries of Baal and Tammuz, and to make the sign of the “T” in front of their hearts as they worshipped.
They also ate sacred cakes with the marking of a “T” or cross on the top.
Every year, on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox, a celebration was made.
It was Ishtar’s Sunday and was celebrated with rabbits and eggs.
————
He said also unto me, Turn yet again, and you shall see greater abominations that they do.
Then he brought me to the door of the gate of YAHUAH’S house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.
Then said he unto me, Have you seen this, O son of Adam? turn yet again, and you shall see greater abominations than these.
And he brought me into the inner court of YAHUAH’S house, and, behold, at the door of the Temple of YAHUAH, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the Temple of YAHUAH, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east. Then he said unto me, Have you seen this, O son of Adam? Is it a light thing to the house of Yahudah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.
Therefore will I also deal in fury: my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.
