Jesus Papers Series Article No. 7 THE TRIUNE GOD Trinity of Word, Sun, and Son Among the evangelicals, particularly Pentecostals – a denomination to which I belong – the phrase “being born again” resonates like a kind of ecumenical anthem. To be born again in Pentecostal parlance is to be “saved” – from eternal damnation in the hell fire of the afterlife. Only the born-again, or the spiritually regenerated, will enter Heaven, so Pentecostals insist. The notion of being born-again as a prerequisite to admission into Heaven stems, largely, from JOHN 3:3-5. The wealthy Pharisee Nicodemus had asked Jesus as to how he could enter the Kingdom of God, to which Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.” Philosophically, this is very sound doctrine. The Gnostic Christians, the Christians who best understood the teachings of Jesus, did teach about this as well but in a radically different light. For instance, the Gnostics did not incorporate the water element. Why? Because they were aware Jesus did not teach water baptism at all. Water baptism was an element that was interpolated (that is, added) to the Jesus story by the redactors (editors) at the 325 AD Nicene Council with a view to write sun-worship into the gospels. Being born again, a theme I will dwell on in greater detail at a later stage when I zero in on the real Jesus, is a purely metaphysical phenomenon that does not involve water at all. Water baptism originated with ancient Egypt and it all had to do with sun-worship. In ancient Egypt, it was taught that if you wanted to follow the life of God’s Sun, you had to live in its light. The sun was regarded not only as God’s Son but as the Word of God, that is, the Logos. The sun was the Logos in that it did speak, through its movements and through the agents of nature. All the laws of nature, such as planets revolving around the sun,were enunciated and regulated by the sun. Since the sun was the symbol of the unseen God, it was immortal. It would never die. When it set in the evening, which was symbolic of death, it always arose the following morning, which was symbolic of resurrection. In other words, the sun was always conquering death. Man too, it was believed, was capable of conquering death through a process known as reincarnation. In other words, man could die and be reborn into the world to begin life anew. This cycle, also known as the transmigration of the soul, was unending. But for mankind to be able to reincarnate and therefore be like God’s Sun, he had to be born again right in this world. Just as he was born into this world through uterine water – amniotic fluid – he also had to metaphorically die to an old way of life and begin a new, upstanding way of life. Because his mother’s waters broke when he was born into this world, man’s new virtuous life had to be symbolised by coming out of total immersion in water. Clearly therefore, baptism derived from sun-worship: it had nothing genuinely spiritual about it. The Egyptians conducted it as a rite of worship and veneration of their Sun God Marduk, and latterly Horus. In Old Testament times, the prophet Elijah conducted water baptism to venerate Utu-Shamash, the Jewish Sun God who along with other members of the Anunnaki pantheon took turns to pose as Jehovah. Jesus knew the sacrilegious nature of baptism. He knew it was based on idolatry and so had nothing to do with it. As the Jesus Papers progress and the true Jesus unfolds, you will come to appreciate that the historical Jesus had very little to do with what the Bible says of him. THE “LOGOS” AS THE SUN In JOHN 1:1, we read that, “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God”. Then thirteen verses later, in JOHN 1:14, we’re told, “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, the glory of the only begotten of the Father) …” In these passages (and the bulk of those in between), John equates Jesus with “God” and with the “Word”. This same Word is luminescent: it shines forth light, termed “glory” in the John passages. This glory is not the Word’s own but is derived from “the Father”. The sun symbolism and sun worship is more than obvious. It is in fact in the gospel of John that Jesus is repeatedly referred to as the “light” and the “truth”, both terms of which are sun-related. The word translated “Word” is “Logos”. The Logos theology dated back to ancient Egypt and informed much of the philosophy of Greek savants such as Pythagoras (c. 570 to c. 495 BC) and Plato (c. 423 to c. 348 BC). In both the Pythagorean and Platonic Schools, which flourished about 500 years before Jesus was born, the Logos was the First Source, the Universal Intelligence that spoke everything into existence, what we call God and what John also refers to as “the Father”. The opening verses of Genesis encapsulate this philosophy very well, when forms of matter are said to have come into being from the word of God. Logos theology held that the first and unique creation of the Logos was the sun. The sun was therefore the “only begotten son” of the Logos. As a result, the sun was the symbol or emblem of the Logos as it embodied the principles of life and light. The sun was the very byword for truth and righteousness since it illuminated, as contrasted with darkness that shrouded everything and was therefore synonymous with perversion and evil. Occultically, the sun is a very powerful symbol, the most potent in the Solar System after the planet Saturn (which occultists call the “Black Sun”). That’s why it was such an esteemed symbol by representatives of the two rival Anunnaki clans – the Enlilites, led by Enlil, the Jehovah proper, and the Enkites, led by Enlil’s step brother Enki. Among the Enlilites, the sun emblem was appropriated by Utu-Shamash (also called Apollo, Sol, or Helios, all of which mean “Sun”), whereas among the Enkites it was adopted by Marduk and Horus. In our day, the Illuminati (“en-lightened ones”) so venerate the sun (or rather, the attributed spirit behind it – the Anunnaki “gods”) that practically every logo that you see on a major brand has a semblance of sun symbolism (anything spherical; with rays; with “O”-like lettering or pictography; with wings; or with a cross-like image). The most obvious ones are the logos belonging to the following companies: Shell; BP; Xerox; Microsoft; Google; Phillips; LG; BMW; Ford; Coca Cola; Toyota; and Pepsi, to mention only a few. Other companies have simply incorporated the word “sun/son” itself into their logos. Examples include Sun Microsystems; Samsung; Sony; and Panasonic. The Devil hides in plain sight folks. TRINITY INFORMED BY SUN As far back as we can go into the ancient world, we find that all known cultures had a three-in-one deity. Alternative terms for this setup are the Triune God or the much more familiar Trinity. Examples include the Anunnaki gods Osiris, Isis, and Horus in ancient Egypt, and Nimrod, Seramiramis, and Tammuz in Babylon, all of whom predated Jesus by thousands of years. In Christianity, the Trinity is rendered as Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. The three are said to be “different persons who are the same in substance”. In other words, they are equal in rank although they perform the particularised roles of originator, executor, and applicator respectively. This is yet another example of the tendency on the part of evangelicals to over-spiritualise scripture. In the New Testament, the Trinity doctrine is not clear-cut: it is inferred. In the Old Testament for one, it is totally absent. In the Babylonian and Egyptian cultures, the Trinity comprised of a god, a goddess, and a son. The three were not supernatural beings but were flesh-and-blood just like mankind was and lived amongst mankind. In the Babylonian case, Nimrod was the god; Seramiramis the goddess; and Tammuz the son. In the Egyptian case, Osiris was the god; Isis the goddess; and Horus the son. What Christians refer to as the “Holy Spirit”, an ethereal being, ancient cultures actually personified. In pre-Gospel times, the Holy Spirit was a goddess known generally as Sophia. Sophia was the goddess of wisdom and hence the Greek word for wisdom is Sophia. In several passages in the New Testament, the goddess Sophia is in fact referenced but the translators cleverly rendered this as simply “wisdom”. It explains why MATTHEW 11:19, a statement imputed to Jesus, does not appear to make sense. It reads: “The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.”How can “wisdom be justified of her children?” Clearly, the proper translation should have been, “But in the eyes of Sophia, there is nothing wrong with such conduct.” The apostles Paul and James also make references to Sophia but in ways that have been deliberately obfuscated by the translators in these scriptures: 1 CORINTHIANS 1:20 and 2:7; and JAMES 1:5 and 3:13-18. But the crux of the matter is, what gave rise to the concept of a Trinity? What was the archetype? Once again, it all harps back to sun-worship. The very first Trinity was simply the three stages of the sun as it traversed the celestial arch. At dawn, it was a new-born baby. At noon, it was full-grown and therefore mature. At sunset, it was old and dying. It was all the same sun but at differing degrees of its brilliance. SUN OF THE MOST HIGH In ancient Egypt, the sun, or God’s Sun/Son, was referred to as the “Good Shepherd” or the “Great Shepherd” because it was said to be the overseer of mankind – the Sheep of God. Thus Kings, or gods as the Anunnaki Kings were called, referred to themselves as shepherds, that is, people who took care of the flock on behalf of the Good Shepherd. The Egyptian god Marduk therefore called himself “Amen Ra”, Ra meaning “ray” (of the sun), or Sun God in short. Amen meant “unseen”. This was in allusion to the fact that the sun was a symbol of the unseen God. In the Bible, Jesus is referred to as the Good Shepherd (JOHN 10:11 &14) or the Great Shepherd (HEBREWS 13:20). Like Marduk, Horus, and Utu-Shamash before him, Jesus is portrayed as the Sun God right in the pages of scripture. In the Annunciation message, the Angel Gabriel refers to the unborn Jesus as “the Son of the Most High (LUKE 1:32).” To most Christians, “Most High” is simply a metaphor for “God”. Well, not exactly: once again, sun symbolism comes into play here. The Egyptians of old knew that the sun was at its highest point in the sky at noon (12 o’clock in modern times), when no shadow was cast by the pyramid. At this point, all Egypt offered prayers to the “Most High God”, that is, the sun, represented on Earth by Marduk initially and Horus latterly. The ancients, as we stated before, regarded the sky as the abode or temple of the sun – the Most High. Thus, when you read in LUKE 2:46 that Jesus had occasion to be in “my father’s house (the Jerusalem Temple) at age 12, do not take that as historical but as allegorical. It was simply a veiled characterisation of Jesus as the Sun God. The Bible says when Jesus died, there was darkness all over the Earth (LUKE 23:44-45). Those who could fathom the Bible code knew what that meant – that in the absence of the sun, darkness reigns. And when Jesus died, he was wearing a crown of thorns. This is “corona” in Latin. Of course the sun is always surrounded by a gaseous envelope called a corona, which is pronouncedly visible during a solar eclipse. The Jesus story is essentially the Story of the Sun. Over a year, the life of “God’s Sun” is completed in 4 seasons of equal duration from the point of view of Mediterranean climates – spring, summer, autumn, and winter. That’s one reason the Church Fathers settled for only 4 gospels in the New Testament. This sun symbolism is also why Leonardo Da Vince’s famous Last Supper painting divides the disciples into 4 groups of three and puts Jesus, the Sun God, at the centre! Given that sun symbolism, aka sun-worship, is apparent in almost every sphere of our lives, we may as well admit that God’s Sun/Son is indeed the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
