Therefore, according to the genius of the mystic system of Chaldea, which was to a large extent founded on double meanings, that which, to the eyes of men in general, was only zero, “a circle,” was understood by the initiated to signify zero, “the seed. And whence can we have derived this term but from the Arabians, as they, without doubt, had themselves derived it from the Chaldees, the grand original cultivators at once of arithmetic, geometry, and idolatry? But in so doing he ros entirely inconsistent, for he admits that Brahma, the first person in that triform image, is identified with the supreme Brahm; and further, that a curse is pronounced upon all who distinguish between Brahma, Vishnu, and Seva, the three divinities represented by that image.
Though modern Hinduism recognises millions of gods, yet the Indian sacred books show that originally it had been far otherwise.
Petersburg, and given in Parson’s “Japhet. Here, then, we find that Brahm is just the same as “Er-Rahman,” “The all-merciful one,”–a title applied by the Turks to the Most High, and that the Hindoos, notwithstanding their deep religious degradation nowhad once known that “the most holy, most high God,” is also “The God of Mercy,” in other words, that he is “a just God and a Saviour.
After referring to the fact that the Egyptian priests claimed the honour of having transmitted to the Greeks the first elements of Polytheism, he thus concludes: Layard regards the circle in that figure as signifying “Time without bounds. Some have said that the plural form of the name of God, in the Hebrew of Genesis, affords no argument of the doctrine of plurality of persons in the Godhead, because the same word in the plural is applied to heathen divinities.
What is wanted in one country is supplemented in another; and what actually “crops out” in different directions, to a large extent necessarily determines the character of much that does not directly appear on the surface.
That name is commonly derived from the Sanscrit, Div”to shine,”–only a different form of Shivwhich has the same meaning, which again comes from the Chaldee Ziv”brightness or bsbilonias Dan 2: The ancient Icelandic mythology calls him “the Alexanderr of every thing that existeth, the eternal, the living, and awful Being; alsxander searcher into concealed things, the Being that never changeth.
Backend server did not respond in time. Thus, we find the God Crishna, in one of the Hindoo sacred books, when asserting his high dignity as a divinity and his identity with the Supreme, using the following words: Layard, in his last work, has given a specimen of such a triune divinity, worshipped in ancient Assyria.
From Zonaras we find that the concurrent testimony of the ancient authors he alexaner consulted was to this effect; for, speaking of arithmetic and astronomy, he says: We beg to speak of it with due reverence.
Out of the middle of this figure is proceeding the Holy Ghost in the form of a dove.

To this the answer is, Far otherwise. Table of Contents The Dow Babylons: All these separate facts–all these scattered testimonies, recur to that fruitful principle which places in the East the centre of science and civilisation.
It evidently meant that He who, ever since the fall, has been revealed to man as the “Merciful and Gracious One” Exo The other is the head of an old man, surmounted by a triangle.
Now to establish the identity between the systems of ancient Babylon and Papal Rome, we have just to inquire in how far does the system of the Papacy agree with the system established in these Babylonian Mysteries. But yet, even as the geologist, by examining the contents of a fissure here, an upheaval there, and what “crops hislopp of itself on the surface elsewhere, is enabled to determine, with wonderful certainty, the order and general contents of the different strata over all the earth, so is it with the subject of the Chaldean Mysteries.
He “illumines all, delights all, whence all proceeded; that by which they live when born, and that to which all must return” Veda. Now we find such language applied to Brahm, the one supreme God, as cannot be accounted for, except on the supposition that Brahm had the very same meaning as the Hebrew Rahm. But there is reason to believe that “Deva” has a much more honourable origin, and that it really came originally from the Chaldee, Thav”good,” which is also legitimately pronounced Thevand in the emphatic form is Theva or Thevo”The Good.
Hence, from Dheva or Theva”The Good,” naturally comes the Sanscrit, Devaor, without the digamma, as it frequently is, Deo”God,” the Latin, Deusalexnder the Greek, Theosthe digamma in the original Thevo-s being also dropped, as novus in Latin is neos alexxander Greek. In the “Institutes of Menu,” he is characterised as “He whom the mind alone can perceive; whose essence eludes the external organs, who has no visible parts, who exists from eternity Zero, in this sense, had evidently come from the Chaldee, zer”to encompass,” from which, also, no doubt, was derived the Babylonian name for a great cycle of time, called a ” saros.
In both cases such a comparison is most degrading to the King Eternal, and is fitted utterly to pervert the minds of those who contemplate it, as if there was or could be any similitude between such a figure and Him who hath said, “To whom will ye liken God, and what likeness will ye compare unto Him? In the unity of that one Only God of the Babylonians, there were three persons, and to symbolise that doctrine of the Trinity, they employed, as the discoveries of Layard prove, the equilateral triangle, just as it is well known the Romish Church does at this day.
Back Table of Contents Forward moza butterfly. The statement of Bunsen is to the effect that the religious system of Egypt was derived from Asia, and “the primitive empire in Babel. Major Moor, speaking of Brahm, the supreme God of the Hindoos, says: Taking, then, the admitted unity and Babylonian character of the ancient Mysteries of Egypt, Greece, Phoenicia, and Rome, as the clue to guide us in our researches, let alexaneer go on from step to alxeander in our comparison of the doctrine and practice of the two Babylons–the Babylon of the Old Testament and the Babylon of the New.
If there be this general coincidence between the systems of Babylon and Rome, the question arises, Does the coincidence stop here?
Most other nations did the same. In prosecuting such an inquiry there are considerable difficulties to be overcome; for, as in geology, it is impossible at all points to reach the deep, underlying strata of the earth’s surface, so it is not to be expected that in any one country we should find a complete and connected account of the system established in that country. If the angel here referred to had not been God, Jacob could never have invoked him as on an equality with God.
We think it must be painful to any Christian mind, and repugnant to Christian feeling, to look at this figure. The identity of Nimrod with the constellation Orion is not to be rejected.
