Forty Days of Weeping for Tammuz: Lent & Ash Wednesday When Tammuz was forty years old, he was hunting in the woods and he was killed by a wild boar (a pig) that is why we eat “ham” on Easter/Ishtar Day even though it is against YHVH’s commandments to eat pig. He took after his father Nimrod in that he was a “mighty hunter.” After Tammuz died, his mother Semiramis began a custom in Babylon called “forty days of weeping for Tammuz” where people were commanded to fast and pray for Tammuz in the underworld. They exchanged one day of pleasure in this life for each year of Tammuz’s life. Today in the Roman Catholic Church this has been renamed “Lent.” This forty days of fasting from something would begin on what is called “Ash Wednesday” in the Catholic Church and many protestant Churchs with the Cross of Tammuz being writtin in ash on the forehead of the “faithful”. The priest would take ashes and place a “mark” on our foreheads of a cross as he would recite a declaration about how we were “created from ashes and to ashes we shall return.” We were all told that when we celebrated Lent, that we were commemorating the time when our Messiah fasted and prayed in the wilderness for “forty days and forty nights.” That is what I was made to believe that Lent was all about. But the truth of the matter is that our Messiah fasted and prayed during the “Forty Days of Repentance” leading up to Yom Kippur. The Hebrew descendants of Abraham/Isaac/Jacob have a tradition of fasting and repenting for forty days leading up to Yom Kippur and this is when our Messiah fasted and prayed. It had NOTHING to do with “Lent” or Easter. Here we see YHVH condemning this practice called “weeping for Tammuz” which today is called Lent: Ezekiel 8:13-14 “Turn you yet again, and you shall see greater abominations that they do. Then he brought me to the door of the gate of YHWH’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 man?” Today in many cultures people make “Easter Bread” or “hot crossed buns”. Do people realize that they are inadvertently offering up cakes to the Queen of Heaven? Jeremiah 7:18-19 “The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger. Do they provoke me to anger? says YHWH: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces? Therefore thus says the YHWH ELOHIYM; Behold, my anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place.” Semiramis, (Nimrod’s mother), became known in other cultures as “Magna Mater,” the “Great Mother,” and she was worshipped as Mother Earth. The Sun “mated” with the Earth each spring, and the “Rites of Spring” symbolized by the “May Pole” and “Easter” came 9 moons (months) before December 25th on the “birth” of the winter Sun. Her Assyrian name is Ishtar which is where we derive the name “Easter.” Easter, the goddess of the dawn is the Universal goddess of fertility throughout history since the Tower of Babel. She began as Nimrod’s wife Semiramis, and then after YHVH scattered the nations and confused their languages at the Tower of Babel (Genesis 10-11), her image with her baby son Tammuz migrated to other nations under different names. The Romans called her Astarte but later she was called Venus, and the Phoenicians called her Asherah. The Hebrews called her Astoroth, the consort of Ba’al. Her emblem is the flower of the lily. She is the “goddess of the dawn,” and her statue stands on a bridge in France. The French made a colossus of this image, and it now stands in New York Harbor, facing “East,” referring to the name Ishtar or Easter. We call this idol of her The Statue of Liberty. As we can begin to “see” the USA is actually a Christian nation. It is Christianity that is Mystery Babylon.
