Mother-child cult nothing new under sun

Below is end segment to yesterday's post and will have another article tomorrow:

Revelation 17:3: [3] So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 

"We've said so much about the area all of this is focused on. It's that wilderness area; it's called the 'island of the sea.'

"It's that Middle East area, beginning with northeast Turkey, extending down to Egypt, going all the way over to the Persian Gulf, following the Euphrates River.

"In human history, beginning in Genesis, we have the worship of the sun, the sun god representing Nimrod, which morphed into Baal worship. There's also in history the worship of the moon.

"In the Bible that moon represents Ashteroth. What you learn in this Babylonian tradition is that Baal and Ashteroth have a son named Tammuz. Interestingly enough, Tammuz, who is born via virgin birth by Ashteroth, is considered the reincarnation of Baal. In other words, the son that the virgin Ashteroth produces is really Baal incarnate.

"That whole concept of God enfleshing Himself has its origins in Genesis 10 and 11. You say, 'Wait a minute, it isn't until God promises the nation of Israel Immanuel--you know, God with us.'

"Sometimes we've got to give Satan a little more credit than we do. Genesis 3:15: [15] And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

"This is the verse in which Satan launches his counterfeit plan and policy of evil. God is promising that the woman is going to produce a seed and that that seed, ultimately, is going to crush Satan.

"So guess what Satan now launches in answer to God's threat of a woman? Verse 15 actually tells us. In human history we see this infatuation--there is a mother-child cult that has its origins back there in Genesis 3. We see different names given to her.

"Satan has his own counterfeit seed that ultimately is going to culminate out there in the 70th Week. As you examine the issues, practices, behaviors, rituals and rites of Baal worship, this is nothing new under the sun.

"Ashteroth who, by virgin birth, has a son; the son is the incarnation of his father in human flesh. Isn't that what Jehovah God promises and does fulfill when He said, 'I'm going to indwell human flesh'? All of that stuff was already believed in the pagan form."
