Satan and The Devil

The more notable references to Satan can be found in the New Testament in the words of Jesus Christ. I have detailed in prior blog posts how Jesus Christ became the continuation of a divine-Anunnaki lineage via the union of Nabu (Nebo) and the “virgin” Mary—Nabu being the son of Marduk and Mary being the daughter of Anna of Glastonbury. With this in mind, let us briefly discuss the meaning of the word Satan before we interpret what Jesus was really saying in the New Testament.

During the time of Christ, the word "satan" could be used as either a noun or a verb in the Hebrew language as follows: to turn aside, to fall away, to decline, to stray, to seduce, contrary to, adversary, seducer, rival, obstacle. In some cases, the biblical persona Satan is used to reveal a message, in a disguised manner, when the receiver of the message is not inclined to understand or trust the source. Surprisingly, Yahweh even allows a Satan to wreak havoc on his most devout servant Job in the Old Testament.

In Judaism there is no concept of  “The Devil” like in Christianity or Islam; and there is no direct link between the Serpent that tempts Eve in the Garden of Eden and the Satan referenced in the first book of Chronicles and in the book Job. In Hebrew, the biblical word ha-Satan (השָׂטָן) means "the adversary" or “the obstacle”, or even "the prosecutor" as God is viewed as the ultimate Judge.

If a “devil” exists in any form of Judaism, his role is as an “adversary” and an “accuser” which is assigned rather than assumed. It was Christianity and Islam that translated the lower-case satan to imply "The Devil" and the upper-case Satan to personify him. They made satan and Satan out to be the frightful, demonic Devil we fear today; whereas the original Hebrew context was that satan represented an "adversary" in opposition to a particular cause or train of thought. That being said, let’s review the translated scriptures:

Matthew  16:22-23

[22]  Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. "Never, Lord!" he said. "This shall never happen to you!" 

[23] Jesus turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men."

This is a most telling scripture to describe exactly what Satan represented to Christ and to the people of the day-- a “stumbling block” to a message or objective. Just as the aforementioned Hebrew definition of satan indicated, the embodiment of a certain “adversary” or “obstacle” is what Jesus Christ was constantly on guard against. Was Jesus saying that Peter was demonically possessed by The Devil? Of course not. Jesus was referring to a mindset that was “in opposition” to his Judea-Christian agenda.

Now, let’s take a look at how the lower-case satan in Hebrew was translated by Christianity and Islam to personify the modern-day concept of The Devil.

Matthew  13:37-39

[37] “He answered and said unto them, 'He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man.”

[38] “The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one.”

[39] “The enemy that sowed them is the devil (‘satan’); the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.”

Teaching in parables, Christ compares the origin of the "bad" seed to the origin of the "good" seed. I don’t think Christ could have been any more clear in his delineation between two feuding offspring, two opposing mindsets, here on Earth. And we know that these two distinct factions were either of EN.LIL or EN.KI origin; because Islam did not appear until six centuries later in 622 A.D. The term "the devil" in verse 39 is not an accurate Hebrew translation but, instead, can be replaced by rival, opposer, adversary, or obstacle which correspond to the Hebrew lower-case satan.

At the time of Christ, we already have the "bad" seed infiltrating the Jewish temples and influencing the Jewish people. It is believed that these "devils" are the ones who attempted to convince others that Christ was not the Son of God. Biblical scholars disagree as to whether this infiltration was of an ever-present Pagan origin or, more likely, the EN.LIL-ite opponents of an EN.KI to Marduk to Nebo Anunnaki-lineage. Regardless, Jesus confronts them in the following scriptures:

John  8:43-44

[43] "Why do ye not understand my speech? Even because ye cannot hear my word."

[44] "Ye are of your father, the devil (‘satan’), and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."

Who would the offspring of EN.KI (Marduk to Nabu to Jesus) consider to be the original murderer and liar of old? The father of original sin? In my mind, all we have to do is recall the earliest struggles between the two brothers EN.LIL and EN.KI to answer this question:

1.) The Great Flood – It is EN.LIL who wanted to destroy EN.KI’s creation, the entire human race, by not informing mankind that the Great Flood was coming. EN.LIL opposed the genetic manipulation by EN.KI to create the first Adam-man; and EN.LIL considered mankind to be a threat and a nuisance from that day forward. It is EN.KI who secretly notified his son Noah to build The Ark to survive The Deluge. This clearly makes EN.LIL the absolute murderer and liar since the beginning of time.

2.) Nuclear War – It is EN.LIL, once again, who insisted that mankind be left in the dark when ancient Sumeria was about to unleash a nuclear holocaust upon itself. This nuclear war was the decided outcome in a struggle between two Anunnaki factions struggling to rule the Earth—the offspring of EN.LIL verses the offspring of EN.KI. (This nuclear war is described in great detail in the Hindu Vedas and Bhagavad Gita.) It was EN.KI who secretly warned Mankind to flee Sumeria before the nuclear fall-out took its toll. This clearly makes EN.LIL a notorious murderer and liar, for the second time, throughout Earth’s history.

It is interesting how Jesus so clearly delineates between his loyal followers (the real Jews) as opposed to those who are spawned by “the devil” (the Satan lineage and mindset). Jesus refers to “the murderer” and “the liar” not as a hell-fire demon or devil in the Christian sense. Jesus is referring to men, flesh and blood, with an opposing and adversarial agenda that Jesus could perceive at first glance. No one knows exactly how Jesus could have identified them so easily, but he vehemently calls them out again in these scriptures:

Rev 2:9 [9] “I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, but thou art rich and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.”

Rev 3:9

[9] “Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.”

The above scriptures are angry references to an upper-case Satan; and I am convinced that Jesus is referring to the descendants of Someone that he knows personally. He knows their lineage. He knows their agenda. And he makes a candid accusation that they are infiltrating the Jewish temples and pretending to be Jews. This is most significant considering that Jews today are divided into those who follow the rule of Secularism verses those who follow Judaic Law.

And who is the cloak-and-dagger proponent of Secularism and its covert opposition to Christianity? Who was the first designated Commander of the Earth? His name is EN.LIL and it is not just Christianity he has opposed. He has worked alongside ALALU and the Nation of Islam to persecute EN.KI’s loyal offspring—the “real” Jewish people. In the most sick and twisted way, EN.LIL has coerced and manipulated the Jewish people since the days of Adam and Moses. Christ clearly stated this in the aforementioned biblical texts. To raise a few eyebrows here, I propose that it was the warmongering angry “god” of the Old Testament (Enlil) and his offspring that Jesus Christ was constantly referring to as “Satan” and “the devil”!

Thus describes the 3-way power struggle between three Anunnaki “gods” Enlil, Enki and Alalu here on Earth. It appears that EN.KI is dead-set on protecting and keeping his divine-Anunnaki lineage in-tact—the “real” Jewish people. All the while, EN.LIL celebrates the chance to divide and destroy EN.KI’s creation at any cost. Read the following Old Testament verses from Genesis Chapters 6 & 8 to understand how this Love-Hate relationship continues to play out:

Genesis 6:5-7 – The Lord (Enlil) saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.”

Genesis 6:11-13 – The earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence. God (Enlil) saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. So he said, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth.”

Genesis 8:20-21 – Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it. The Lord (Enki) smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of humans, even though every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done.

Notice the difference between Enlil’s hateful and condemning attitude toward mankind in Chapter 6 verses Enki’s compassionate and forgiving attitude toward mankind in Chapter 8. This is just one of many examples pertaining to what bible scholars have recently discovered-- that the Book of Genesis is actually TWO separate accounts merged in crude, contradictory fashion. And, more importantly, I contend that the Book of Genesis is the merging of two separate accounts relating to TWO different “gods”! 

I conclude with a final reference to the idea of a satan or Satan bringing out the worst in all of us. The aforementioned Genesis chapters 6 & 8 clearly relate how mankind was a lost cause from the very beginning. A thousand more verses, from Exodus to Revelations, conclude that we will never change our wicked ways. The infamous words of comedian Flip Wilson, “The devil made me do it!” personifies the modern-day Satan that Christians are taught to blame. From the time we are old enough to read and write, we are told that the world is a bad place because The Devil has made it that way. Really? The Book of Genesis, and The Holy Bible, paints a clear picture. We are, like the Anunnaki "gods" who created us, just a hoard of spoiled, self-serving little shits.
