The Cherubium : Its Ancient Origins !!!

Image
                  The Hebrew term   cherubim   is   cognate   with the   Assyrian   term   karabu ,   means 'great, mighty'.   In some regions the Assyro-Babylonian this term came to refer in particular to spirits which served   the gods , in particular to the   shedu   ,a human-headed winged   bulls (  Vaux, Roland. John McHugh, Ancient Israel: Its Life and Institutions (NY, McGraw-Hill, 1961).   The related   Lammasu   (human-headed winged   lions —to which the   sphinx   is similar in appearance), on the other hand, were the most popular winged-creature in   Phoenician   art. The Lammasu was originally depicted as having a king's head, a bull's body, and an eagle's wings, but because of the artistic beauty of the   wings.   In Isaiah 37:16, Hezekiah prays, addressing Yahweh as "enthroned above the Cherubim" (referring to the mercy seat). Cherubim feature at some length in the Book of Ezekiel where they first appear in chapter one

In Egyptian mythology, Osiris was betrayed at his last supper by the evil god Set, whom the Greeks identified with Typhon . This seems to be the origin of the idea that Jesus’ betrayer was present at his last supper.

Set-Typhon had red hair and this is probably the origin of the claim that Judas had red hair.   Judas is often given the nickname "Iscariot." In some places where English New Testaments have "Iscariot," the Greek text actually has "apo Kariotou" which means " from Karyot ." Karyot was the name of a town in Israel, probably the modern site known in Arabic as Karyatein. We thus see that the name Iscariot is derived from the Hebrew "ish Karyot" meaning "man from Karyot." This is in fact the accepted modern Christian understanding of the name. However, the most in

                                              Many parts of the Jesus story are not based on him . Most Christian denominations claim that Jesus was born on 25 December. Originally the eastern Christians believed that he was born on 6 January. As pointed out already, Jesus was probably confused with Tammuz born of the virgin Myrrha . We know that in Roman times, the gods Tammuz, Aion and Osiris were identified. Osiris-Aion was said to be born of the virgin Isis on the 6 January and this explains the earlier date for Christmas.  G-ddess Myrrha Isis was sometimes represented as a sacred cow and her temple as a stable which is probably the origin of the Christian belief that Jesus was born in a stable. The theme of temptation by a devil-like creature was also found in pagan mythology. In particular the story of Jesus’ temptation by Satan resembles the temptation of Osiris by the devil-god Set in Egyptian mythology. We also know that there was also a connection be
