This series of blogs I'm writing under the title "God vs god" is intended to show you what I consider to be the
central themes, elements and personalities associated with the Great Cosmic Battle of Good and Evil. By
my reckoning, it all can be traced back to Genesis 6 and the days of Noah... the days that our Lord said our
dayswould be like.
"As it was in the days ofNoah, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of Man."
Note what King Solomon said a thousand yearsearlier:
What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new
under the sun. -Ecclesiastes 1:9[emphasismine]
Both the wisest man who ever lived and the Son of God Himself told us to expect to see a repeat of history.
What has been, willbe again. Therefore, we need to know what has gone before so that we canknow what is
coming (and may already be here). So, let's look again at "days" 1 and 2 of our Biblical Timeline of Human
HistoryChart(as we will be doing sofrequently in this blog):

In the previous part of this blog, I laid the foundation for what was going on before and immediately after the
Flood as it pertains to the ancient gods. I also showed you whatthey did that so provoked the God of Heaven
to destroy a world that had already been thoroughly corrupted. The Pre-Flood world was an amazing and
terrifying place full of hybrids. Our world is turning into the same thingtoday. But Yeshua warns us:
"For then shall be great tribulation, such as wasnot since the beginning of the world to this
time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh
be saved: but for the elect's sake those daysshall be shortened."
-Matthew24:21-22 (KJV) [emphasismine]
God HAD to step in during the days of Noah in order to preserve mankind, the animals, plants and even the
planet itself from the corruption of the gods. Consider how bad it was during the time of the Flood, then
consider carefully what Yeshua (Jesus) has to say about thedays ahead.
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; andupon the earth distress
of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear,
and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven
shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great
glory.
-Luke 21:25-27 (KJV)[emphasismine]
So, let's pick up where we left off. In part 1 of this blog series, I showed you the Greek god family tree, and
how I believe we can translate it into an understanding of what the Hebrew texts say. Now, I want to take a
look atthe Sumerian family of gods (which became that of the Assyrians and Babylonians) .
The Sumerians. Their writings rank amongst the oldest on the planet. It is from those writings that we learn
about the "star gods" called the Anunnaki. I could easily find myself writing an entire book series just about
them. And believe me, it is very tempting to do so. There is so much that could be said about them
concerning the past, but I've become more and more intrigued by what may come (from them) in the future.
And this series of God vs godwillcertainly take us there. But for now, let's just take a little peakinto the past.

Wikipedia notes that the Sumerian religionrefers to the mythology,
pantheon, rites and cosmology of the Sumerian civilization,further stating:
The Sumerian religion influenced Mesopotamian mythologyas a
whole, surviving in the mythologies and religions of the
Hurrians, Akkadians, Babylonians, Assyrians, and other culture
groups.
Thus, the Sumerian/Assyrian/Babylonian beliefs are often lumped into the
title, "Mesopotamian" as they all centered around that same region of the
globe.Concerning theMesopotamian religion,Wikipedia goes on tosay:
Some, such as the historian Jean Bottero, have made the claim that
the Mesopotamian religion is the worlds oldest faith,[1]although there
are several other claims to that title. Although as writing was invented
in Mesopotamia, it is certainly the oldest faith in written history. What
we know about Mesopotamian religion comes from archaeological
evidence uncovered in the region, particularly literary sources, which
are usually written in cuneiformon clay tablets and which describe
both mythology and cultic practices. However, other artifacts can also
be used as the Mesopotamians' "entire existence was infused by their
religiosity, just about everything they have passed on to us can be
used as a source of knowledge about their religion."[3]
Although it mostly died out 1600 to 1700 years ago, Mesopotamian religion has still had an
influence on the modern world, predominantly because much Biblical mythologythat is today
found in Judaism,Christianity, Islamand Mandeanismshares some overlapping consistency with
much older ancient Mesopotamian myths, in particular the Creation Myth, the Garden of
Eden, The Great Flood, Tower of Babeland mythical Biblical characters such
as Nimrodand Lilith(the Assyrian Lilitu). In addition the story of Moses' origins shares a striking
similarity with that of Sargon of Akkad, and the Ten Commandmentsmirror older Assyrian-
Babylonian legal codes to some degree. It has also inspired various
contemporary Neopagangroups tobegin worshipping the Mesopotamian deities once more, albeit
in a wayoften different from that of the Mesopotamian peoples.
Those are some pretty bold claims. Their writings do predate those of the Bible. As such, many claim that the
Biblical accounts arecopies of the Mesopotamian accounts of the same incidents. But are theyreally? Again,
an entire series of books could be written about this, so I'm not going to focus too much on all of that here.
Google is your friend and using it you can find a lot about this for yourself. But I do think a few things are
worth pointing out for the purpose of this blog series.First, let's look again at the Biblical Timeline of Human
History Chart:

Historians recognize that dating anything beyond 3,000 BC is often problematic and thus can not be
consideredabsolute.
Estimation of absolute dates becomes possible for the 2nd half of the 3rd millennium BC. For the
first half of the 3rd millennium, only very rough chronological matching of archaeological
dateswith written records is possible.[emphasismine]
What makes that difficult is the Flood, which occurred around 2,350 BC. That global event dramatically
disturbed the geology of the Earth and completely obliterated any prior civilizations that may have existed.
Thus, at best, all we have are stories and artifacts that can be assumed to date from the periods before (but
which were more likely from a time immediately following) the Flood. Tales of events prior to the Flood
probably have some basis in truth, but they are often filled with embellishment, contradiction and bizarre,
surrealistic accounts as a result of the verbal telling and retelling of those events by many people prior to
these stories finally being written down. My personal belief is that Fallen Angels aided in the telling of those
Pre-Flood events to different people groups that arose from the division of languages at the Tower of Babel.
Then God finally gave the true accounts to Moses some timelater to set the record straight. But let's see how
the stories match upin the case of the Sumerians.
Note what Wikipedia has to say about Mesopotamia'shistory:
The peoples of Mesopotamia originally consisted of two peoples, the Semitic Akkadians(later to
be known as Assyriansand Babylonians) and the Sumerians. These peoples were not originally
one united nation, but members of various different city-states. In the fourth millennium BCE,
when the first evidence for what is recognizably Mesopotamian religion can be seen with the
invention in Mesopotamia of writing circa 3,500 BCE, the Sumeriansappeared, although it is
not known if they migrated into the area in pre historic times or whether they were some of the
original inhabitants. They settled in southern Mesopotamia, which became known as Sumer, and
had a great influence over the Semitic Akkadian peoples and their culture. The Sumerians were
incredibly advanced, as well as inventing Writing, they also invented Mathematics,
Wheeled Vehicles, Astronomy, Astrology, The Calendar and created the first City
States/Nations such as Uruk,Ur, Lagash, Isin, Ummaand Larsa. In the north, in an area known as
Akkad, a civilisation known as the Akkadiansarose, who spoke a semitic languagethat was
distinct from that of the Sumerians who spokea languageisolate.[4]

[emphasismine]
So, the earliest evidence of any
civilization seems to point to the 3,500
BC timeframe. Wikipedia says that the
Sumerians were "incredibly advanced"
and that they invented writing,
mathematics and all sorts of other
sciences and innovations. Well, look at
what happened in 3,500 BC (in the
chart above). According to the Book of
Enoch, that's when the Watchers
showed up! Enochalso records that the
Fallen taught men those very things
listed above (andmore)!
Thus, I believe that the Anunnaki - a
race so named because they were
"Princess of the Royal (genetic)
Seed" (or some translate it as, "Those
who from heaven to earth came") -
were the "sons of God" or the
Sumerian equivalent of the giant Greek
Titans, the Hebrew Watchers and Pre-Flood Nephilim - the first super-advanced parents and hybrid offspring
to walk the earth.
They supposedly came to earth from a world known as Nibiru (or the infamous "Planet X"). This is a subject
many people are talking about these days - especially as we get closer to the year 2012. Take this video for
instance:
CLICK HERE for more videos on Nibiru -Planet X
Did Nibiru pass by Earth before? Will Nibiru return? Is it even a real planet at all? I believe the answer to all
three questions is yes. But we'll save that for The Return of the Nephilim blog (coming soon). For now, I want
to draw yourattention to a few things mentioned in the above video.

Nimrod, Nibiru and the Anunnaki Page 6of 23
Notice how researchers like to say that many stories in the Old Testament represent "shorter versions of" or
"copies of" ancient Sumerian writings. We read the same thing in the paragraph from Wikipedia above. Well,
while doing my research, I found a Short Chronology Timeline of ancient cultures and in that timeline
something immediately jumped out at me. The earliest records point to one of the first kings of the
Mesopotamian region, a manknown as Sargon.
Sargon of Akkad, also known as Sargon the Great"The Great King" (Akkadian Šarru-k(cid:127)nu,
meaning "the true king" or "the king is legitimate"),[1]was an Akkadianemperor famous for his
conquest of the Sumeriancity-states in the 23rd and 22nd centuries BC.[2]The founder of the
Dynasty of Akkad, Sargon reigned from 2,270 to 2,215 BC (short chronology).[3] He became a
prominent member of the royal court of Kish, killing the king and usurping his throne
before embarking on the quest to conquer Mesopotamia. He was originally referred to
as Sargon Iuntil records concerning an Assyrian king also named Sargon (now usually referred
to as Sargon I) wereunearthed. [4]
[emphasismine]
Many have made the connection that "Kish" is the "Cush" of the Bible(Nimrod's father according to Genesis).
So, is this record saying that Nimrod killed his father? It would seem so. The above quoted Wikipedia source
also makes the connection that Sargonmay in fact be Nimrod:
Stories of Sargon's power and that of his empiremay have influenced the
body of folklore that was later incorporated into the Bible. A number of
scholars have speculated that Sargon may have been the inspiration for
the biblical figure of Nimrod, who figures in the Book of Genesisas well
as in midrashic and Talmudicliterature.[12]The Bible mentions Akkad as
being one of the first city-states of Nimrod's kingdom, but does not
explicitly state that he built it.[39]
That author suggests that this Sargon character was the "inspiration for the
biblical figure of Nimrod" implying that the Bible merely borrowed its story from
elsewhere. But I submit that the Bible is simply confirming the story - just from
a Hebrew perspective (as dictated to Moses by God). Nimrod is not a name. It
is a title that means, "the rebellious one." That certainly seems to fit the above
description of Sargon. Notice also the sculpture of this character to the right. It
has one eye missing! Keep this in mind as wecontinue this study.
The date given for his reign is 2,270 - 2,215 BC. That believed date almost
perfectly fits the timeframe depicted in my Biblical Timeline of Human
HistoryChartas being just prior to theTower of Babel (which of course was built by Nimrod)!

Nimrod, Nibiru and the Anunnaki Page 7of 23
Also stated in the above video, researchers believe theSumerians referred to the Anunnaki as the creators of
life - or more specifically man - on this Earth. Keep this in mind as well. Those "creation" events are written
after the fact. But notice, even in theirwritings, the Sumerians believe that the Anunnaki returnedtomate with
human women. Hmmmm. Sound familiar? Again, their timing ofevents certainly seems to match the timing of
Biblical events that I'mwriting about in this series, don't they?
I believe what we are seeing here is evidence that the Devil very strategically set the stage long ago for The
Coming Great Deception. And notice that the Anunnaki are said to have landed and set up shop in what the
Bible calls, the land of Shinar -or ancient Iraq (Babylon). Hmmmm.Again I ask, "Sound familiar?"
When it comes to theSumerian god family tree, things get pretty complicated!

There are other charts that have some differentarrangements, so I'm not even sure that anyone truly knows
the actualbreakdown. Wikipediatries to simplify it for us:
Themajority of Sumerian deities belonged to a classification calledthe Anunna(“[offspring]
of An”), whereasseven deities, including Enlil and Inanna, belonged to a group of“underworld
judges" known asthe Anunnaki(“[offspring] of An” + Ki). Duringthe Third Dynasty ofUr, the
Sumerian pantheon included sixty times sixty (3600)deities.[8]
The main Sumerian deities are as follows:
• An: God ofheaven/the firmament.
• Enlil:God of the air (from Lil = Air); patron deity of Nippur.
• Enki:God of freshwater, male fertility, and knowledge; patron deityof Eridu.
• Inanna: Goddess ofsexual love, female fertility and warfare; matron deity of Uruk.
• Ki: Goddess ofthe earth.[9]
• Nanna, God ofthe moon; one of the patron deities of Ur.[10]
• Ningal: Wife ofNanna.[11]
• Ninlil: An air goddessand wife of Enlil; one of the matron deities of Nippur; she wasbelieved
to reside in the same temple as Enlil.[12]
• Ninurta: God of war,agriculture, one of the Sumerian wind gods; patron deity of Girsuand
one ofthe patron deities of Lagash.

• Utu: Godof the sun at the E'barbara temple[13]of Sippa
[emphasismine]
As I said, I have seen many different variations of family trees for these gods. I have tried to weed through
them in order to create a chart that we can work with. Thus, I present thefollowing (simplified) diagram of the
Sumerian god family tree:
In this simplified chart, we
have Tiamat and Apsu (as
well as Anshar and Kishar)
in the Ultimate Source Tier,
followedby Antu, Anu and Ki
as the Top Tier gods who
produced Enki, Nin-khursag
and Enlil as Middle Tier
gods. And in the Final /Demi
-god Tier, we see Marduk,
Ninurta and Gilgamesh
(which all seem to represent
Nimrod in one form or
another). In this case, it is
Marduk as the Babylonian
version of Nimrod who is the
one who rises up to usurp all
of the others to become the
top god.
Observe what the on-line Jewish Encyclopediahas to say aboutthis:
Two prominenttheories are now held in regard to Nimrod's identity: one, adopted by G.Smith and
Jeremias, is that Nimrod is to be identified with the Babylonian hero Izdubar or Gishdubar
(Gilgamesh); the second, that of Sayce,Pinches, and others, identifies Nimrodwith Marduk, the
Babylonian Mercury. The former identification is based on the fact that Izdubar is represented in
the Babylonian epos as a mighty hunter, always accompanied by four dogs, and as the founder
of the first great kingdom in Asia. Moreover, instead of "Izdubar"—the correct reading of which
had not yet beendetermined—Jeremias saw the possibility of reading "Namra Udu" (shininglight),
a reading which would have made the identification with Nimrod almost certain. Those who
identify Nimrod with Marduk, however, object that the name of Izdubar must be read, as is now
generally conceded, "Gilgamesh," and that the signs which constitute the name of Marduk, who
also is represented as a hunter, are read phonetically "Amar Ud"; and ideographically they may
be read "Namr Ud"—in Hebrew "Nimrod." The difficulty of reconciling the Biblical Nimrod, the son
of Cush, with Marduk, the son of Ea, may be overcome by interpreting the Biblical words as
meaning that Nimrod was a descendantof Cush.
Two other theories may be mentioned: one is that Nimrod represents the constellation of
Orion; the other is that Nimrod stands for a tribe, not an individual (comp. Lagarde, "Armenische
Studien," in "Abhandlungen der Göttinger Gesellschaft der Wissenschaften," xxii. 77; Nöldeke, in
"Z. D.M. G." xxviii. 279).

So, here we see our buddy Nimrod represented in yet another pantheon of ancient deities. You just can't get
away from the guy! Click here for more connections.

There are two others in the Sumerian pantheon of
extreme interest: Enlil and Enki. They had the same
father (Anu), but two different mothers. And guess what?
These step-brothers didn't get along!
According to Sumerian texts (as detailedin Genesis of
the Grail Kings[1]), Anu made adecision:
“The gods had clasped theirhands
together,
Hadcast lots and had divided.
Anuthen went up to heaven.
ToEnlil the Earth was made subject.
Theseas, enclosed as with a loop,
Theyhad given to Enki, the Prince of
Earth.”
LaurenceGardner pointsout:
“Enki was nothappy about his brother’s promotion because, although Enlil was theelder of the
two, his mother (Ki) was Anu’s junior sister, whereasEnki’s mother (Antu) was the senior
sister. True kingship,claimed Enki, progressed as a matrilineal institution through the femaleline,
and by this right of descent Enki maintained that he was the firstborn of the royalsuccession.”
“I am the great brother of the gods.
Iam he who has been born as the first son of the divineAnu.”
Thus, through pride and envy Enki was discontent and sought to be "top dog." In this myth, we see a
similarity between God being personified as the character of Enlil and Lucifer as Enki. And there is no
shortage of interesting information out there depicting who did what amongst the people of earth and when.
But what I find most interesting is the fact that Enki is depicted as essentially the "good guy" - the one who
both created mankindas well as offered him wisdom and knowledge.
Inhis book, The Gods of Eden, William Bramley [2] noted,
“Wetherefore find Ea [Enki] as the reputed culprit who tried to teach earlyman (Adam) the way to
spiritual freedom. This suggests thatEa intended his creation, Homo sapiens, to be suited for
Earth labor, but at some point he changed his mind about using spiritualenslavement as a
means.”
While Enki is credited for having created Adam and Eve, Enlil is depicted as the one who created Eden. And
from a Biblical perspective, it was Enki who was the serpent in the garden offering spiritual enlightenment by
offering the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. When they did eat the "forbidden fruit," it was
Enlil who drove them out of the Garden. Enki then came to their aide and clothed them. Throughout the
Sumerian texts, it is Enlil who is depicted as the stand-offish one who lets his people suffer. He is the one
who causes the problems. Enki is depicted as the good guy, the savior, the angel of light. Wikipedia
describes him:
Enki was considered agod of life and replenishment, and was often depicted with two streamsof
water emanating from his shoulders, one the Tigris, the other theEuphrates. Alongside him were
trees symbolizing the female and maleaspects of nature, each holding the female and male
aspects of the 'LifeEssence', which he, as apparent alchemist of the gods, would masterfullymix
to create several beings that would live upon the face of theearth.
