the HEAVENLY BODIES. We know that Babylonian astronomy made him the presiding deity of
the PLANET MERCURY, just as it made Merodach the presiding deity of Jupiter (Zeus); but it
cannot have been in reference to this that the tower of his temple was dedicated to the SEVEN
HEAVENLY SPHERES. Nebo cannot well have been one of the seven himself in the conception
of its builders; he must rather have been the universe in WHICH THE SEVEN SPHERES WERE
SET.”

Sayce goes on to say “The name of Borsippa itself, moreover, is sometimes written in a
punning fashion by the help of ideographs which would read in Accadian Bat-si-aabba, ‘the for-
tress of the HORN OF THE SEA,’ as if it had once been held to stand on a ‘HORN’ or inlet of the
Persian Gulf.”

This “HORN OF THE SEA” should set off a red alarm to each and everyone. Daniel tells
us of a “little horn” that changes the calendar of Jahwah – His set-time ordinances. John in Revela-
tion 13 talks about a beast with SEVEN HORNS coming out of the sea. Later on in Jeremiah 51
we will find out the name of this sea -- Sea of Babylon.

“Like a Dragon” of Jeremiah 51 again links Babylon with Revelation 12:3 – “And there
appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold, a great red dragon, having SEVEN HEADS and
TEN HORNS, and SEVEN CROWNS upon his heads.” Remember the beginning of Nimrod’s
Babylonian kingdom was ten city governments and the worship of the Sacred Hebdomad – the
week dedicated to the seven heavenly lights.

He has filled his belly with my delicacies, AND THEN HE HAS CAUSED ME TO GO
ASTRAY (Aramaic Peshitta).

This verse ties in with Rev. 12:13-15. “And when the DRAGON saw that he was cast out
upon the earth, he persecuted the woman, which brought forth the man child……And the
serpent/dragon cast out of his mouth water (water being symbolic of the word, i.e. false words) as
a flood after the woman, that she MIGHT BE CARRIED AWAY by the flood (false doctrine to
cause her to go astray.). And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and
swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth”

‘On Babylon be the wounds I suffered!’ The daughter of Zion will say, ‘On the inhabi-
tants of Chaldea be my blood!’ Therefore thus says Jahwah: ‘Behold, I will plead your
cause, and take vengeance for you; I will dry up THE SEA OF BABYLON, and make her
springs (of water – words of false doctrine) dry.

Now we know the name of the Sea – Sea of Babylon. We can now understand the beast of
Revelation 13 is arising out of the Sea of Babylon – that Sea of False Doctrine: “And I stood upon
the sand of the SEA and saw a BEAST rise up OUT OF THE SEA (the Sea of Babylon), having
seven heads (seven gods of the Sacred Hebdomad) and ten horns (the beginning of Nimrod’s king-
dom) and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads were blasphemous names.” Thus each of
these heads, chiefs, or lords (seven gods of the Sacred Hebdomad) had a blasphemous name. Jah-
wah would certainly call the seven-day pagan week, named after the seven planets, blasphemous.
