666: THE WORSHIP OF SATURN AND HIS RELATIONSHIP TO THE BEAST OF REVELATION by Jeff Wingo

Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?  But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.  Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts” (Amos 5:25-27).

Please note: This is my final article on the series, 666: Calculating the Number of the Beast. If my articles have increased your understanding of this puzzling topic let me know!

****************************************************************************************

If you read the earlier articles in this series, 666: Calculating the Number of the Beast (parts 1-5), then you know that King Solomon in his later years abandoned the God of heaven for a bloodthirsty demon god called Molech or Moloch.

Molech went by many names in the ancient world, and I have already discussed that aspect in another article, but essentially all of the names attached to this deity point to one god: Kronus in the Greek, and Saturn by those in Rome.

The River Styx by Félix Resurrección Hidalgo (19th century).

Wherever the god Saturn was worshiped the blood of his victims flowed as deep as the river Styx. The River Styx as you may recall, was the barrier between the world of the living and that of the dead. In the mythology of the Greeks, the river was venerated even by the gods, who at times would swear oaths binding their word to the power of the river. It was also believed that bodies dipped into the river would receive the gift of immortality.

Such was the power of Styx that Thetis, mother of Achilles, dipped the child in the river, thus ensuring his immortality. Her one failing in this respect however, was that when she dipped him in the river she held onto his heel. Thus, the only vulnerable spot on the demigod Achilles was his heel, a fact that Paris, under the guidance of Apollo, later took advantage of during the Trojan war. This of course gave rise to the phrase “Achilles heel,” referring to a weakness or mortal vulnerability that could be exploited by one’s enemies.

It is not hard to see that the Greek myth of Achilles still carries a small fragmented memory of a biblical prophecy. Genesis 3:15, states that the serpent would bruise the heel of the seed of the woman. The Serpent must have thought that the “heel” of Christ referred to a vulnerability that could be exploited in the Son of God.

The Crucifixion of Jehohanan. His heel has been pierced with a Roman nail.

Thus, when Christ was on the cross, Satan must have personally ensured that the heel also received a nail, pinning the Son of God to the cross, and exploiting (what he thought) was his only vulnerable spot.

To the left is the heel of a man named Yehohanan who suffered a painful death by crucifixion in the 1st century. As you can see the nail penetrated the heel. This was the standard method used by the Romans; and this became better known once the ossuary of Yehohanan was discovered in 1968. It proves that when Jesus was crucified the nail penetrated both heels at once; in fact, the feet were parallel and the nail penetrated both heels which were fastened to the vertical beam of the cross. {2}

I believe the ancient Adversary of the Seed of the Woman was so deceived himself, that he believed his own myth–that Christ could have been defeated if only his heel were bruised.

But in reality, by bruising the Seed of the Woman, Satan actually brought about his own defeat, because it was through the cross the Jesus brought victory to humanity. What really happened was the defeat of the Serpent because through the cross Jesus bruised the head of the Serpent, just as the prophecy predicted. The New Testament teaches us about the victory of Jesus when He suffered the torments of Calvary:

Colossians 2:14-15: Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;  And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

In the wisdom of God the cross bruised the serpents head and brought victory to those who would come to believe the gospel: Jesus died for our sins–He blotted out the law which was against us, and nailed our sin to the cross so that when we come to faith in Christ we bear our sin no more! On the third day Jesus arose victorious over His enemies! That is victory my friends, true victory for you and me!

An Evil Attempt to Prevent the Arrival of the Seed of the Woman

After the fall of Adam and Eve, God gave a prophecy about the coming “seed of the woman,” or Messiah, who would redeem humankind from the power of sin and death.

Genesis 3:15:  And I will put enmity between thee (the serpent) and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Satan, as the father of the seed of the serpent, wanted to ensure that “the seed of the woman” would not reach maturity. So, in response to the prophecy, soon after the fall of mankind, Satan instituted a priesthood and a cult among the ancient tribes. Later the practices of this evil cult were adopted by the Ammonites, Canaanites, Phoenicians, Carthaginians (under the name Baal-hamon), and many others to destroy small children.

As powerful as Satan is, even he is not omniscient, or all-knowing, and so he set up a method of systematic slaughter as an insane attempt to kill the seed of the woman. His strategy was to empower the priesthood of the fire god Molech or Cronus/Saturn, which led to a holocaust of destruction; and we even see this carried forth into the modern world by the rite (a so-called right) of abortion.

Friends, I realize this is hard stuff, most Christians don’t like to talk about this aspect of Bible prophecy either, but nonetheless, as you will see, there is a connection here with the number of the Beast, 666.

The god Saturn or Cronus/Kronos is the same entity as the god Molech, often referred to as the Hidden god. In fact, this may surprise many of you, but when Moses went up on the mount at Sinai to receive the 10 Commandments, the people resorted to the worship of Cronus/Saturn. The Golden Calf the children of Israel danced around was actually a representation of the Egyptian god of the dead, Osiris, also known as Apis the Bull; as such he was also known as the Hidden One. Indeed, Apis was only another name for the god Saturn, the Hidden One of antiquity. {1}

In the language of the Chaldeans the name Saturn is spelled STUR and numerically the letters of the name add up to the number of the Beast.

S = 60, T = 400, U = 6, R = 200, totaling 666, the number of the Beast.

According to Steven, the first martyr of the Christian church, many of the ancient Israelites secretly worshiped Saturn as they wandered in the wilderness for 40 years.

Acts 7:40-43: Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as for this Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.  And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.  Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness? Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.

Remphan and Moloch are the god Saturn, a celestial deity represented by a star. As incredible as it sounds the planet Saturn, the celestial representation of Moloch is the 6th planet in our solar system. And, even more impossible to believe, Saturn also has a 6-pointed star as a permanent feature at its northern pole. It is known as the Saturn  Hexagon,  a strange wind pattern that has even been seen by amateur astronomers from Earth.  This unique wind pattern on Saturn could only be seen in our time. Is this somehow a marker, a sign in the wilderness of space that the god Saturn is going to return?

So who is Saturn? Saturn, Cronus, and Moloch are all  a veiled reference to none other than Satan, the god of this world. Saturn was known as a devourer of children, and Satan is the devourer of all who reject Jesus Christ.

There are many veiled references to Saturn in the Bible, and in ancient history. Saturn is often represented by a star, as referenced in the Bible verses provided above. According to Velikovsky,”the Babylonians called Saturn ‘the Star of Tammuz.’” {4} Sun worship, and the worship of Tammuz, is mentioned in your Bible by the prophet Ezekiel (8:14). These were all part of the evil abominations he witnessed in the Temple in Jerusalem–a place reserved for the worship of the true God of heaven, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Folks, this goes deep, and I go in-depth with this in my book Alien Antichrist, in chapter 11 called The Image of the Beast, so I am not going to go any more in-depth with this here. But suffice it to say that even the ancient Babylonians referred to Saturn as the star of Tammuz. {4}

PLEASE NOTE: At this point many people go into an anti-Semitic rant against the Jewish flag and the Jewish people; all because they use a six-pointed star on their national flag. But since I am not a hater of Israel or the Jewish people, I don’t think it is necessary to demonize Israel or Jews. Suffice it to say that God will take care of Israel as He has always done; He will also deal with the nation in His own time and way, just as He will deal with all nations before the present age is over. We are all equally guilty before a Holy God. And before we get on our high and mighty horse, the United States is far from perfect and our government for the past 50 years has become a lot less than our Founders envisioned.

I am not really worried about Israel so much as I am about the United States of America–a nation given so much; so much freedom, and so much prosperity, but a nation now (at least it seems) almost wholly given over to a multitude of sins and self-deceptions.

Now to get back to our examination of Saturn, many secret societies use a star symbol, and many use the 6-pointed star as a symbol of their deity. There are all kinds of kooky websites out there that go to seed on stuff like this, but let me point out one major item you may research if you are interested. Historically, the hexagram, a 6-pointed star, has often stood as a symbol of Saturn or Satan. And, I must warn you, if you do look closer at this, and if you dig too deep into history, you may not like what you find.

Saturn devouring his son by Peter Paul Rubens, 1636-1638.

I will finish this article with one more sign pointing to the Star of Tammuz, or Saturn as a symbol of Satan and the number of the Beast, 666. Here is a painting by Rubens of Saturn devouring his own child, as revealed by the ancient myths. The point I want to make is that Rubens as an artist understood Saturn, and the symbology associated with Saturn and Satan.

Don’t look at the depiction of the pagan god as he is devouring his child. Look at the top of the painting, for there you will see 3 stars, and each star has 6 points. Those 3 stars with 6 points each total 666, the number of the Beast. Rubens knew art, but he also understood the symbology of Saturn, as the image of the Beast.

The Apostle John revealed in the book of Revelation, that the worship of Saturn (Satan) will be intricately linked with the worship of the Antichrist Beast  at the end of days.

Revelation 9:1:  And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.

Close up of Rubens painting showing 3 six pointed stars, totaling the number of the Beast, 666.

I am of the opinion that the star that opens the pit, or abyss, is none other than Satan, pictured here as a star. Could it be that at the end of days a great sight will appear in the skies? Is it possible that this star will hit the Earth, and be revealed as the star of Saturn, an Angel of Light? Could it be that this Angel of Light is none other than Heyel ben Shachar, Lucifer the Light-Bearer, the Shining One, posing as the Morning Star?

Isaiah 14:12:  How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

And could it be that the Light-Bearer will pretend to be “the Light,” Jesus, coming back a second time? The Apostle Paul warned us to be careful of the “angel of light.” Because his true nature is that of a roaring lion; and he prowls about, seeking those he may to DEVOUR (1 Peter 5:8); just like the ancient god Saturn.

2 Corinthians 11:14:  And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
