“in the religion of Nimrod?”
I know you asked the question of MHG, but here is my two cents worth.
Absolutely, Rev 17:9, they are of the same spirit of deception it’s Satan just in a different package.
Yep, thats what I was thinking. I think Nimrod, Semiramis and Tammuz, were the unholy Trinity, as Satans counterfeit, to the real Trinity. As they were scattered, at the Tower of Babel, they took their false religion with them. I think the religion of Nimrod, was widespread in the world, at the time of Jesus.
The queen of Heaven, was mentioned in Jeremiah, and also, when those dudes said, great is Diana of the Ephesians.
You are right. Same deception, different package. There is nothing new under the sun. 👍
