ADAD ( AL ADHA)..AND NINURTA FRONT-RUNNERS IN THE APPETITE FOR HUMAN FLESH In the Bible, two gods are particularly associated with human sacrifice. The first goes by the generic name YAHWEH, or Jehovah. We by now know that Yahweh was a cover name, primarily, for the Enlilite godhead, which comprised of five kinsmen, namely Enlil-Jehovah (the father), Ninurta (the firstborn), Nannar-Sin (the secondborn), Ishkur-Adad (the last born), and Utu-Shamash (the grandson). But we also know that in the post-exilic era, the main Yahweh was Ishkur-Adad.
The Torah is the compilation of the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, namely the books of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. In that sense, Torah means the same as Pentateuch or the Five Books of Moses
When you read the Bible, it is important that you take the bigger picture and not use an isolated incident as the basis of your inference. Focus on the sum total of what is being related to you and not on the contents merely of one verse, one chapter, or even one book. Above all, ensure you augment and buttress your understanding of the Bible with extra-biblical sources. For example, you would never grasp the creation story, that of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, and the great Flood of Noah’s day without reading the Sumerian chronicles or books on the Sumerian chronicles. You will never know who the gods of the Old Testament exactly were without being acquainted with what the Sumerian cuneiform clay tablets and cylinder seals say about these gods.
ADAD ( AL ADHA)..AND NINURTA FRONT-RUNNERS IN THE APPETITE FOR HUMAN FLESH
In the Bible, two gods are particularly associated with human sacrifice. The first goes by the generic name YAHWEH, or Jehovah. We by now know that Yahweh was a cover name, primarily, for the Enlilite godhead, which comprised of five kinsmen, namely Enlil-Jehovah (the father), Ninurta (the firstborn), Nannar-Sin (the secondborn), Ishkur-Adad (the last born), and Utu-Shamash (the grandson). But we also know that in the post-exilic era, the main Yahweh was Ishkur-Adad. Adad was also the meanest and vilest of the Yahwehs and human sacrifice was actually his staple. Needless to say, Adad is one of the two Yahwehs mostly associated with human sacrifice.
Adad’s notoriety for human sacrifice was well-known even in Mesopotamia, in modern-day Iraq. Clay-tablet texts unearthed in Mesopotamia and which have been dated to between the 10th and 7th centuries BC talk of burnt offerings of male children to “the god Adad”. It was Adad who instructed Abraham to sacrifice his son (GENESIS 22:22), though the Hebrew redactors recast the story in such a way that a ram was substituted for Abraham’s son.
Before the Israelites were liberated from Egyptian bondage, Adad demanded that they sacrifice their eldest sons as atonement for his indispensable role in winning their freedom. Once again, the Pentateuch scribes spun the story around to make it appear like it were the Egyptians who lost their sons at the hands of Adad’s “Angel of Death”.
Then at the Mount of the Elohim (Sinai or Horeb in the Bible) in Arabia’s Wilderness of Sin, Adad insisted that he was only going to address the Israelites in person if they made another mass human sacrifice. Given that the firstborn sons had already been sacrificed in Egypt, this time around it were the virgins who must have stepped into the breach. Indeed, EXODUS 19:18 does hint at the Mount Sinai sacrifice. It goes without saying that in the original texts, details to that effect did abound but were removed by later editors.
The other god who was notorious for human sacrifice according to the Old Testament was BAAL-MOLECH, Baal (sometimes spelt Ba-El) simply meaning “The Lord”. Scholars have endlessly groped in the dark in their efforts to identify this god. I yet have to come across a single book or article that crisply nails him: they all make wild guesses. Most of them, brainwashed by the Bible’s Enlilite propaganda, even associate Molech with poor Marduk, a highly benevolent Enkite god was a darling of his direct subjects, notably the Babylonians and Egyptians, and who in the Age of Aries had replaced Jehovah-Enlil as Earth’s Chief Executive.
The Hebrew word translated Molech is actually MLK. This is MELEK when we put in the vowels as ancient Hebrew had no vowels. Originally, the term Melek (MALAK in Hebrew) meant a deputy, king, or emissary. The anglicised version of Melek is MICHAEL. According to the Sumerian records, the Book of Enoch, the Epistle of Jude, and Revelation, Michael was the warring archangel.
IN SUMERIAN RECORDS, THE ARCHANGEL (CHIEF REPRESENTATIVE OF A DEITY) MICHAEL WAS NINURTA, ENLIL-JEHOVAH’S FIRSTBORN SON AND THEREFORE THE HEIR APPARENT. I’m sure by now you know that Ninurta was the Anunnaki’s God of War. It was he who fought and vanquished “the Evil Zu” in an aerial battle and it was he who commanded the Enlilites when they warred against the Enkites in all the Pyramid War
The god Molech, therefore, was Ninurta. He was based on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem, and at a place called Topeth in the Valley of Ge-Hinnom (Gehenna) just outside Jerusalem, he superintended over a huge fiery pit in which children were presented to him as a burnt offering. That’s why in the English version of the Bible, Gehenna is translated as “Hell” or “Lake of Fire”. This has nothing to do with an afterlife inferno: it all harps back to the literal hell the place was to the children of Israel.
The sacrificed children were said to have been “passed over” or “passed through” the fire in sacrifice to Molech. THIS IS THE REAL ORIGIN OF THE “PASSOVER” FEAST FOLKS, not the drivel you have been fed by the Pentateuch authors about God’s Angel of Death bypassing the homes of Israelites and zeroing in on those of Egyptians. Since Ninurta was so fixated on human sacrifice, the term Melek over time also assumed the meaning “sacrifice”
