Hi Friends,

    We are called to avoid being deceived by those principalities and powers who claim

to represent god. I decided to do some research on the origin of the mystery Babylonian

religion, because I noticed the same gods and goddesses appear in different forms/names

inside all of these kingdoms, which have formed worldwide kingdoms. As the dream of

the Babylonian king revealed in Daniel, there will be eight kingdoms before the Lord Jesus returns.

I noticed there was an infectious disease like pattern where the same 'spirit of iniquity was already

at work' The priests of Babylon has successfully infiltrated these temples of earthly power. Here's

an article I found in the Christian literature which explains how Peter can to rule over Rome.

     I hope you enjoy this line of work I've found. I'm learning how our ancient enemy works; enjoy.

 Agape,

         Mike C.


A "PETER" Was in Rome Two Thousand Years B.C.!

Who was the first "Peter" of Rome? What were his successors called? The history of
ancient religion reveals the plain truth about the original Peter of Rome. The truth about
his real successors is now clear to us — but hidden to the world. Here is what history
shows us of the ORIGINAL Peter of Rome. The truth is startling!

THE BIBLE records that in the earliest ages, right after the Flood of Noah, men began to
rebel against the teachings of God. They began to build cities, found religions, bring in
idolatries. Pagan temples were erected — the Tower of Babel came on the scene. All of
these things started within the first two hundred years after the Flood.



Pagan Gods Called "Peters"

Surprising as it may sound, it is a well-known fact among students of ancient religion,
that the chief pagan gods worshipped in the early civilizations were generally
known by the name PETER . It is also known that the priests of those heathen gods
were also called PETERS. That same name in one form or another, was even applied to
the pagan TEMPLES consecrated to those gods.

Notice what Bryant, in his work Ancient Mythology says: "Not only the gods, but the
Hierophantae [special priests], in most temples; and those priests in particular, who
were occupied in the celebration of mysteries, were styled PATRES " (vol. 1, p. 354).

This is very significant! The word PATRE is the same as PATOR or PETER in meaning and
pronunciation .

Bryant continues: "PATRE was undoubtedly a religious term .... the same as
PATOR and PATORA."

The ancient pagan gods, the priests who were their ministers, and their sacred
sanctuaries — their temples — were ALL called PETORS or PETERS (either spelling is
acceptable since vowels are fluid in all languages — especially the Semitic).



The Meaning of "Peter"

What did the word PATOR or PETER really mean to the ancients? Surprisingly enough,
the word is in the Bible. When Moses wrote about the Egyptian priests, he shows they
were called PETERS or "interpreters" — interpreters of the ancient Egyptian mysteries.

Notice Genesis 41:8. Davidson shows in his Hebrew Lexicon that the consonantal word
P-T-R (PETER) signifies "to interpret" or "interpretation" (p. 638; of Brown, Driver,
Briggs, p. 837; and Gesenius, p. 877 and p. 843).

Bryant points out that "the term always related to Oracle interpretation" (p. 308).

The pagan priests of the mystery religions were called PATORS or PETERS. They
had the power to interpret the heathen mysteries. This is further brought out by Bunson
in his Hieroglyph, page 545, where he shows that the Egyptians — as the Bible also
indicates -- called their "interpreters" or priests: PETR, that is, PETER .

The term PETER was one of the earliest names for the pagan gods . It lasted as late as
Greek and Roman times. But by that time the term also took on a widespread secular
meaning. It came generally to mean "father" or "parent." But this was not its primary
meaning at all. Bryant continues: "The word PATER, when used in the religious
addresses of the Greeks and Romans, meant NOT, as is supposed, a father or parent;
but related to the divine influence of the Deity, called by the people of the East,
PATOR (Ibid., p. 353).

In many ancient religions the father was the chief priest of the family. That is the reason
the head of the family became known as PATOR or "father." The father, because of his
priestly position, became known as the ARCHPATOR, or, as it is commonly rendered,
PATRIARCH. This is how the term PATOR came to signify, in a secular sense, "a father."
But originally, it always meant, "interpreter" — especially one of the mystery religions.



Chief Pagan Gods Called PETERS

We have clear evidence showing that the ancient Romans called their chief gods PETERS
— the divine interpreters . The early Roman writer Lucilius, mentions Neptune, Liber,
Saturn, Mars, Janus and Quirnus — all were PATERS . (See the Lucilii Fragments.) He
did not mean they were "father-gods." He meant they were gods of PETER-rank — the
chief gods.

Lucilius doesn't exhaust the list. In fact, he leaves out JUPITER, the "Father" of the
Roman gods. But it was unnecessary to mention him as a "PETER-god." Due to his high
rank, the title PETER was actually incorporated as a part of his name. He was called JU-
PETER.

Gladstone in his work on the antiquities of Greece, shows that Jupiter and the Greek
god ZEUS were one and the same, JU-PETER was the Roman way of saying ZEUS-
PETER, the chief god of the Greeks (Homer and the Homeric Age, vol. I, p. 287), PETER
was the name that came to signify high rank among the gods — and among their priests

Greeks Used Term "Peter"

The Romans were not the only ones who called their gods PETERS, The Classical

Manual reveals that the Greeks used the term PETER (or its variants) as often as did the

Romans.

For example, Apollo was called PATRIUS and his followers APOLLO PATRIUS (p. 23).

Pausanius tells us that Artemis and Bacchus were called PATORA, that is PETER-gods

(Books 1, 2). Pindar speaks of Poseidon Petraios. He says the Thessalians worshipped

Neptune under this title (Pyth. Ode 4).

In Egypt, the Ammonian priests — who headed one of the chief pagan oracles of ancient
Egypt — were called Petors, as Bryant also says: "The chief instrument (idol) in their
hands was styled PIETAURUM" (Ibid., p. 356).

This idol on many occasions took the form of a pole or upright stake (Ibid., p. 358). The
pagan god Artemis is often pictured standing by a stone pillar which is called PATROA or
PETER (Pausanius, Bk. 1). These pillars, and all the phallic symbols like them, came to
be known as PETRAS — the sacred PETERS. (It is still common among the vulgar to refer
to the male member by its original religious name — PETER.) These phallic Peter-stones
can be found all over the ancient world. In fact, there is not a mention of an ancient
pagan oracle temple without some notice being given to a PETER emblem — the sacred
stone.

Like the word PATOR — which came to indicate simply a "father" or "parent" — the word
PETRA came to mean any large stone. But in the earliest times, it conveyed only the
original religious meaning.

"The term PETRA came at length to signify any rock or stone and to be in a manner
confined to that meaning. But in the first ages it was ALWAYS TAKEN IN A RELIGIOUS
SENSE; and related to the shrines of Osiris, or the Sun (Baal), and to other oracles
which were supposed to be exhibited" (Bryant, p. 359). In other words, the term PETRA
meant the sacred PETER-stone — a stone usually phallic in design.



"Petras" in Pagan World

Notice some references to these sacred PETRAS found throughout the pagan world.

At the temple of Delphi in Greece, the chief object in the ritual was the PETRA
(Pausanius, Bk. 10). At the Acropolis in Athens, Euripides tells us, the niches which
held the idols were called the PETRAE (verse 935). It is well-known that even the sacred
book which was used in the celebration of the Eleusinian mysteries, was entitled "Book
PETROMA," PETER-ROMA- PETER'S BOOK (see Potter's Antiquities, vol. 1, p. 356).

Remember that the pagan temples were also called after the PETERS. The temple at Elis
in Greece was called PETRON (Lycophron, verse 159). Pytho at Delphi was called
PETRAessa (Olymp. Ode 6). The oracle temple dedicated to Apollo in Asia Minor was
called the PATARA and the oracle there was called PATAReus ("Eus" means "person who,
one") — (Lempriere's Classical Dictionary, p. 438).

Also PATRAE — an ancient town where DIANA had a temple (p. 438), and the oracle in
Achaia was called PATRA (Jones, Proper Names of the Old Testament, p. 296).

Examples are too numerous to mention, but this should be enough to show that the
name PETER, or its variants, figured very high in every phase of pagan worship. These
PETER stones and temples were found all over the ancient world.

"There is in the history of every oracular temple some legend about a stone; some
reference to the word PETRA" (Bryant, p. 362).
