Inanna’s Descent and Eden’s Naked Truth

From the clay tablets of Sumer to the first chapters of Genesis, a profound parallel emerges. In the myth of Inanna’s descent, an ambitious goddess passes through seven gates into the underworld – surrendering a royal adornment at each gate – until she stands naked and powerless before the dark queen Ereshkigal (Descent of Inanna into the Underworld - Wikipedia). In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve partake of the forbidden tree, and suddenly “the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked” (Genesis 3:7-11), sewing fig leaves to cover their shame. Two distant narratives, yet both unveil the same raw truth: when created beings grasp at forbidden power, their false glory is stripped away, leaving only vulnerability and shame. This exposé will delve into these parallel stories – Inanna’s journey and Eden’s fall – to reveal a larger pattern. We will connect the Triple Goddess archetype (Maiden, Mother, Crone) and its role in occult lore, the mystery of “666” and false godhood, and how the “merchants of the earth” today (the global elites) are deceived by the same ancient lie. With prophetic insight and biblical warnings, we will unmask the spiritual deception at work – a deception that is as old as Eden and as pervasive as Babylon.

Crowned in light, she stepped into shadow—queen of heaven, naked before death, descending not in defeat but in defiance.

Descent to the Underworld vs. The Fall in Eden:

Inanna – called the “Queen of Heaven and Earth” in Mesopotamia – resolved to extend her dominion to the realm of the dead. Clothed in splendor and power, she descended to the underworld. Seven gates barred her path, and at each gate she was compelled to remove a symbol of her power – her crown, her beads, her robe, and so on – until Inanna entered “in a state of undress” before her sister. In the ultimate humiliation, the judges of the underworld condemned her; Inanna was struck dead and hung on a peg like a worthless carcass. The proud Queen of Heaven was reduced to utter nakedness and death. Only by divine intervention was she later revived and restored to the living, but her journey stands as a stark cautionary tale of pride before destruction.

In Eden, a parallel drama unfolds. The serpent enticed Eve with a bold promise: “ye shall not surely die: …your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.” (Genesis 3:4-5) Adam and Eve, seduced by the prospect of forbidden wisdom and godlike status, ate the fruit. Immediately, their innocence was lost – “the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked” (Genesis 3:7-11). What they gained was not godhood, but the piercing awareness of guilt and shame. In panic they tried to cover themselves with fig leaves and hid among the trees. When God confronted them, Adam confessed, “I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.” God replied with the pointed question, “Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree…?” (Genesis 3:7-11)The contrast is illuminating: Satan promised divinity, but delivered disgrace. Like Inanna stripped at each gate, the first humans were stripped of their righteous covering, left exposed in moral nakedness.

Both accounts highlight the fatal outcome of grasping at illicit “enlightenment.” Inanna sought to expand her sovereignty into realms forbidden, and ended up dead and exposed. Adam and Eve sought to “be as gods” by eating the one forbidden fruit, and ended up spiritually dead (separated from God) and ashamed of their exposed condition. In both cases, a being reaches for godhood on their own terms and faces a fall. The seven gates Inanna passed through can symbolize a step-by-step loss of spiritual protection – much as each bite of the fruit stripped Adam and Eve of the glory that had clothed them. At the end of Inanna’s descent, she stands naked, just as at the end of the temptation in Eden, the humans stand naked. The underworld to which Inanna descends is literally called “the land of no return,” a place of death – just as God warned that eating the fruit would surely bring death. Pride and disobedience led to the stripping away of all pretense, revealing the helpless state of even the greatest creature before the Creator’s laws. As Proverbs later observes, “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” Indeed, the mighty are cast down from their thrones; the moment of self-exaltation becomes the moment of naked shame.

The Triple Goddess Archetype: Maiden, Mother, Crone – A False Path to “Wisdom”

Inanna’s story is not an isolated myth; she is one iteration of the ancient Mother Goddess archetype that has resurfaced throughout history under many names. The Bible notes the Israelites’ idolatry of the “queen of heaven”, baking cakes and pouring out drink offerings to her (Jeremiah 7:18). (Scholars identify this “queen of heaven” with goddesses like Ishtar the Akkadian name for Inanna – or Ashtoreth). This goddess cult, God warned, “provoked Me to anger”. Yet the lure of the divine feminine persisted. In modern occult and Neopagan practice, it re-emerges in the veneration of the Triple Goddess – the Maiden, Mother, and Crone – a three-fold deity representing the feminine life cycle and the lunar phases (Maiden, Mother, and Crone: The Wiccan Triple Goddess – Wicca Living). This Triple Goddess concept, though packaged as “new,” is really a revival of primeval goddess worship. The Maiden signifies youth and innocence, the Mother represents fertility and power, and the Crone embodies wisdom and the mysteries of death. Occult traditions teach that these three are one, a trinity of the goddess reflecting the waxing, full, and waning moon.

Interestingly, Inanna’s narrative can be seen as spanning aspects of this triple archetype. As a goddess of sexuality and fertility, Inanna embodies the passionate Mother; as a youthful seeker adorned in jewels, she shows the fearless Maiden; and in facing death and the underworld, she encounters the realm of the Crone. In one myth, Inanna even descends and returns, a cycle of death and rebirth echoing the waning and waxing moon. The Sumerians would not have called her “Maiden, Mother, Crone,” but the pattern of virginal princess, fertile queen, and underworld-wise woman is interwoven in her mythos. Likewise, other cultures had triple moon goddesses: for example, the Greeks syncretized Artemis (Maiden of the hunt), Selene (Mother Moon), and Hecate (Crone of witchcraft) into one moon goddess figure (Triple Goddess (Neopaganism) - Wikipedia). The occult revivalists of the 20th century (like Robert Graves in The White Goddess) taught that ancient Europe worshipped a singular Triple Goddess of birth, love, and death – an idea tied to notions of a primeval matriarchal religion. Though academic evidence for a universal “mother goddess” civilization is dubious, the influence of this idea is powerful. It has inspired modern witches and pagans to invoke the Triple Goddess for “wisdom” and power, seeing her as a symbol of female creative force and occult knowledge.

The Triple Goddess archetype, at its core, represents a pursuit of wisdom and power apart from the true God. She promises guidance through the cycles of life and death, secret knowledge of the earth and underworld, and empowerment of the self. This is reminiscent of the serpent’s lie: your eyes shall be opened. Why did Eve find the forbidden fruit appealing? Scripture says “the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise” (Genesis 3:6). The promise of secret wisdom, of becoming like gods, was tantalizing. Inanna’s story likewise shows a desire to extend power (to conquer death, perhaps) leading her to risk everything. The Triple Goddess is a repackaged version of that same lure – an occult wisdom that promises godlike insight through nature, sex, and even death. But this “wisdom” is a false light. The Apostle James contrasts “earthly, sensual, devilish” wisdom with the wisdom from above (James 3:15–17). Goddess spirituality offers the former – a wisdom rooted in the senses and cycles of the natural world, often appealing to our base desires and pride. It ignores the holiness of God and the need for redemption from sin. By exalting nature and self, it subtly encourages people to “worship and serve the creature more than the Creator” (Romans 1:25). We see this in how devotees of the Triple Goddess celebrate fertility and sexuality (Maiden/Mother) and reverence for death or the spirit world (Crone), but reject the biblical conscience that calls these to be under God’s authority.

The Triple Goddess archetype – though draped in poetry and symbolism – is yet another facet of the ancient rebellion which leads to death: the veneration of creation (the female form, the moon, the earth) in place of the Creator. It is a sorcerous shortcut to “enlightenment” that sidesteps repentance and the cross. The prophet Isaiah’s warning applies: “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness” (Isaiah 5:20). The Triple Goddess may appear as an angel of light, but behind her veil stands the same darkness that led Eve astray.

“666” – Number of the Beast or Number of the Goddess?

The Book of Revelation famously declares “the number of the beast… is Six hundred threescore and six” (Revelation 13:16-18) – 666. This number (six hundred sixty-six) is loaded with ominous significance in Christianity, identified with the final Antichrist and those who give him allegiance. It is “the number of a man”, often understood as man’s number (falling short of the divine 7), raised to a triple intensity. In biblical symbolism, “6” can signify incompleteness or imperfection (man was created on the sixth day, and without God’s rest on the seventh, six is unfinished). To triple a number is to give it emphasis – thus “666” can mean utterly carnal, utterly man-centered, utterly short of God’s glory. It represents the pinnacle of humanism and rebellion against God – humanity declaring itself god in place of God, which is the essence of the Antichrist spirit.

Astoundingly, occultists and New Agers have “flipped” the meaning of 666 in their teachings. What Christians see as a mark of damnation, some esoteric circles hail as a sacred code. In certain occult numerology, 666 is revered as the number of the Great Goddess. For example, modern occult writers note that “666 is the number of the Goddess (Inanna, Ishtar, Isis, Aphrodite) and is sacred in Egyptian mythology. It’s related to sex and motherhood.” (666 – NubianEmpress). They cite the significance of 6 in various mystical systems (such as the Kabbalistic Sun square summing to 666, or the association of 6 with Venus, the female planet of love). To them, triple-6 embodies the Triple Goddess – the Maiden, Mother, Crone expressed as a numeric cipher. In other words, what God’s Word calls the number of the Beast, the occult world reframes as the number of the divine feminine or human “goddess” potential. Aleister Crowley, the notorious occultist, took the moniker “The Beast 666” not because he worshipped Satan per se, but as a deliberate affront to Christianity and an embrace of solar and sexual power (he understood 666 in Thelemic magic as a positive, “solar number” associated with the heart chakra and the Sun (666 – NubianEmpress).. This perverse pride echoes Lucifer’s own boast in Isaiah 14: “I will exalt my throne above the stars of God... I will be like the most High.” It is the lie of Eden repackaged: you can be as gods. By claiming 666 as a benign or holy number, occultists symbolically crown themselves (and their goddess) as victorious over the biblical prophecy – a grave deception.

There is a chilling symbolic parallel between the “Triple Goddess” and “Triple Six.” Just as the Maiden, Mother, Crone triad is often presented as a unified deity with three faces, so 666 could be seen as the unity of triple rebellion – a counterfeit trinity of self-deification (man’s number repeated thrice). The true Holy Trinity is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – three persons, one God. Satan’s counterfeit “trinity” in Revelation consists of the Dragon (Satan), the Beast (Antichrist), and the False Prophet – a hellish parody of Father, Son, and Spirit. Is it any surprise that this unholy trio would mark their followers with a triple-digit emblem? What’s more, the Beast’s agenda is to be worshipped (Revelation 13:4, 8). He “exalteth himself above all that is called God” (2 Thessalonians 2:4) and demands the world’s adoration. This is precisely the goal of the ancient fertility goddesses as well – to divert worship from the true God to themselves. When occultists link 666 to goddesses like Ishtar or Isis, they unwittingly connect the Beast system to the age-old “Queen of Heaven” cult. In the end times, Scripture portrays a great harlot named Babylon riding the Beast, drunken with the blood of saints (Revelation 17). This Mystery Babylon has long been identified by theologians as a symbol of false religion and idolatry, likely with goddess worship in the mix (she is called the “Mother of Harlots” – perhaps an allusion to a mother goddess of all false religion). How fitting, then, that 666 (the Beast’s mark) and the Triple Goddess converge in occult lore. It exposes who is really behind these deceptions: “that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world” (Revelation 12:9). Satan doesn’t care if people worship a demon, a man, or a female deity – as long as their worship is away from the true God, the devil’s purpose is achieved.

Revelation 13:18 begins, “Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number…”. God challenges us to discern the spiritual reality behind 666. The wisdom of God reveals that this number marks those who reject God’s image to embrace the Beast’s image. Conversely, the world’s wisdom (guided by the screech owl: the counterfeit “goddess”) tells people that 666 is nothing to fear – even something to embrace. The stage is being set for masses of people, possibly even “in the name of spirituality,” to accept what God branded as the ultimate identifier of rebellion. The irony is stark: what many think will make them divine will instead mark them for judgment. The scripture is clear that those who receive the Beast’s mark are aligning with a doomed empire, and “shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God” (Rev 14:9-10). No wonder the enemy works overtime to mask the true meaning of 666, dressing it up in love-and-light imagery of a benevolent goddess or a cosmic harmony. But the faithful, guided by Scripture and the Holy Spirit, will not be ignorant of Satan’s devices. 666 is a warning, not a blessing. It signifies the culmination of human pride that will be brought low, just as Inanna was cast down and Adam and "Eve" were cast out. The wise will reject the lies of the Triple Goddess and the Beast and will cling to the Lamb of God – the true King of Kings – even unto death, rather than accept that cursed mark.

Merchants of the Earth, Sorcery and the Pursuit of Godhood

“By Thy Sorceries Were All Nations Deceived”: In Revelation 18, Babylon the Great – symbol of the corrupt world system – is judged and overthrown in one hour. A telling indictment is pronounced: “for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.”  Here, commerce, power, and occultism intertwine. The “great men of the earth” (the titans of industry, politics, religion and culture – today’s global elite) are said to be the merchants of Babylon, enriching themselves through an ungodly system. And their tool of influence? Sorcery – translated from the Greek pharmakeia, which can mean enchantment, magic, or even drug-induced spellcasting. In plain terms, the ruling elites of the world employ occult power and deception to mislead the nations. This is a sobering revelation: behind much of the political and economic might of our time lurks a spiritual darkness, an intentional Luciferian drive to dominate and delude.

Make no mistake, the ultimate ambition of these sorcerer-merchants, these so-called "great men of the earth," is nothing short of self-deification. Like Julius Caesar, who demanded divine honours in his lifetime and whose imperial cult set the precedent for emperors being worshipped as gods, they seek not only power but adoration. And in their blind pursuit of divine status, they stand in open rebellion against the One true God—the very same arrogance that ultimately led to the crucifixion of God incarnate, Jesus Christ. For when the word of God came in the flesh, offering truth and humility, men like Caesar—drunk on their own imagined sovereignty—saw Him as a threat to their thrones. Thus, the man-made gods of empire murdered the living God, and that pattern has repeated ever since.

📜 Original Latin (Ferraris, “Papa”, Article II):

“Papa est tam magnae dignitatis et sublimatis, ut non sit simplex homo, sed quasi Deus, et Vicarius Dei. Est enim divinus monarcha, supremus imperator, et rex regum. Quare Papa tantae est dignitatis et potestatis, ut leges etiam divinas valeat modificare, declarare, vel interpretari. Papa triplici coronatur corona, tanquam rex caeli, terrae, et infernorum.”

📖 English Translation:

“The Pope is of so great dignity and so exalted that he is not a mere man, but as it were God, and the vicar of God. He is the divine monarch, the supreme emperor, and king of kings. Hence the Pope is of such great dignity and power that he is able to modify, declare, or interpret even divine laws. The Pope is crowned with a triple crown, as king of heaven, of earth, and of the lower regions.”

The above quote is an explicit reflection of papal absolutism, especially the claim to divine authority, including the power to alter even divine law — a direct contradiction of Matthew 5:18 and Daniel 7:25, where it is prophesied that the beast would “think to change times and laws.”

Today, we see their spiritual heirs—kings in suits and miters, digital emperors, religious deceivers, and false prophets—all walking the same ancient path, pretending to be divine, while dragging billions into error. They cast off the restraints of the true God—His law, His covenant, His order, His Sabbath, His authority—and exalt themselves above all that is called God, just as the man of sin does in 2 Thessalonians 2:4. The Sabbath, God's covenant sign, is not just ignored but trampled, because it testifies that God alone is Creator and Sovereign (Exodus 31:13-17). And no man seeking to enthrone himself as a god will tolerate that witness. They break His covenant, profane His holy day (Saturday), and then dare to speak in His name, as though Heaven itself had endorsed their rebellion.

These are not merely mistaken men—they are counterfeit deities in human skin, playing god over the lives of others while being led by the spirit of antichrist. And need I say it? These are the false prophets, the merchants of deception, the religious impostors, and the Sabbath-breakers who lead multitudes into the arms of Mystery Babylon, cloaked in religion but void of truth.

In their pride, they fashion themselves as divine. In reality, they are naked, like Adam after the fall—stripped of glory, exposed in their shame, and destined for judgment unless they repent. Their kingdoms will fall, their rituals will fail, and their counterfeit crowns will be cast down before the throne of the Lamb. The Scriptures are not silent: “Ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes” (Psalm 82:7).

Shall we not cry aloud and spare not? The godhood they seek is a lie. The throne they covet belongs to Christ alone.

This was Satan’s own ambition (“I will be like the Most High”), which he injected into Eden, and which has infected human empires ever since. We see it in ancient Babel’s attempt to build a tower to heaven, and we see it today in the corridors of elite global institutions.

In secret societies and elite gatherings, they perform rituals that invert God’s moral order, all in the pursuit of personal apotheosis.

One infamous example is the Bohemian Grove (mentioned yesterday) an exclusive retreat in California where presidents, politicians, bankers, and media moguls have met in secrecy for over a century (Bohemian Grove - Wikipedia). There, under towering redwoods, they engage in a macabre pageant called the “Cremation of Care.” In this ceremony – witnessed and recorded by investigators – a procession of robed figures carries an effigy named “Dull Care” to the foot of a 40-foot stone owl, and with chants and pyrotechnics they burn this effigy in sacrifice. The Club’s own annals describe how the “spirit of Care” is slain and cremated, serving as a catharsis for the participants. On a surface level, they claim it’s a jovial way to shed the worries of the world and revel freely. But symbolically, “Dull Care” represents the conscience, the moral restraint that might hinder one from doing evil. By cremating care, these mighty men enact the banishment of conviction and remorse. They are, in effect, celebrating a state where they feel no guilt for any wrongdoing – a prerequisite, perhaps, for committing atrocities or manipulating nations with a clean conscience. How eerily this aligns with Satan’s twisted idea of “godhood”: to know good and evil and yet feel no shame. In Satan’s view, a “god” is one who can embrace sin fully without the pangs of conscience – a law unto oneself. The Cremation of Care ritual is a Luciferian sacrament, declaring that these men renounce the voice of God in their souls. They seek to kill the last vestiges of empathy and guilt (the image of God in them) so they can remake themselves in the image of the Beast.

The scripture in Revelation says “by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.” Consider how broad that statement is. It implies a global spell, a spiritual deception blanketing every nation in the last days, emanating from Babylon’s elites. We often think of sorcery as primitive witchcraft, but in the hands of modern “great men” it can take many forms. It can be the sorcery of media, shaping perceptions and morals through pervasive imagery and narratives that numb people’s conscience (much like a potion). It can be the sorcery of pharmakeia in a literal sense – substances that alter minds and open spiritual doorways (today’s epidemic of drug abuse, whether illicit or in the guise of pharmaceutical solutions, certainly deceives and enslaves millions). It can be the sorcery of technological enchantment, where mankind is promised godlike powers through AI, VR, and biotech, luring people to trust in a techno-utopia while their souls wither. And quite directly, it is the literal occult rituals and magic arts practiced by secretive orders and influential individuals to invoke demonic assistance in their endeavors.

The “great men” who pursue this path of sorcery do so for worldly gain – wealth, control, legacy. They are the merchant kings of Wall Street, Hollywood, Silicon Valley, global governance. Many have openly or subtly aligned with occult principles. Some display their allegiance in plain sight through symbols: the all-seeing eye, obelisks, owls, pentagrams, and yes, the number 666 slyly hidden in corporate logos or art. They strike a Faustian bargain, selling their souls for the “kingdoms of the world and their glory” which Satan offered Christ (Matthew 4:8-9) – but unlike Christ, they do not refuse. In turn, Satan rewards them with influence. Yet, Jesus asked, “What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” (Mark 8:36). The merchants’ pursuit of godhood is as tragic as Inanna’s (Eve) descent – they gain a throne for a moment, perhaps, but lose their souls in the underworld of damnation.

Revelation 18:23 notes “the light of a candle shall shine no more” in Babylon and the voice of bride and bridegroom will cease – a poetic way to say that all joy, hope, and life will be extinguished for those in Babylon’s spell when judgment falls (Revelation 18)

False Religion and Elite Symbols: The Triple Crown of Dominion

Among the world’s religions, even those that claim Christ’s name, we find symbols that betray a corruption of pure faith. A striking example is the Papal Tiara – a ceremonial crown used by popes for centuries (though set aside in recent decades). This tiara is a triple-tiered crown, and historians note that it symbolizes the pope’s claimed authority over the three realms: Heaven, Earth, and the Underworld (or Purgatory/Hell). During papal coronations, it was declared:

“Receive the tiara adorned with three crowns, and know that thou art the Father of Princes and Kings, the Ruler of the World…”. Such grandiose titles and the threefold crown echo the very temptation of Eden and Babel – for a man to assume godlike dominion. In essence, the papal institution wove together a spiritual, temporal, and infernal authority in one headpiece. This is elite symbolism at its peak: a leader of a church presenting himself (whether by his own design or by an office thrust upon him) as king of Heaven, Earth, and Hell. Not even Inanna in her hubris claimed all three; she merely tried to add the underworld to her portfolio. But here we see a human religious leader with a crown for each domain, a bold (and to biblical eyes, blasphemous) claim of supremacy. Is this not exactly what the Antichrist will seek – to be as God? The triple tiara may not be worn today, but the Roman Church still calls the Pope the “Vicar of Christ” and titles like “Supreme Pontiff” persist, asserting a kind of god-king status. This is not to single out Catholics as uniquely evil – indeed many Catholics may be unaware of these meanings – but rather to show how the tentacles of Babylonish thinking have even reached into Christianity, fulfilling Paul’s warning that after his departure men would arise “speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them” (Acts 20:30).

The papal triple crown is but one example of the Triple Goddess archetype re-emerging in religion. Another is found in modern syncretistic movements, where elements of paganism and feminism converge in the form of the “divine feminine.” In some liberal religious circles, God is reimagined with a goddess counterpart or, in some cases, replaced altogether by “Mother Earth.” Prayers to the earth, nature-based rituals, and even Marian devotion elevated to quasi-goddess status have become alarmingly common. Mary is frequently referred to as the Queen of Heaven — one of her official titles in Catholicism is Regina Caeli — which, incidentally, is the exact same title used for Ishtar, the goddess whose worship provoked the wrath of God in Jeremiah 7:18: “The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven…” And just like ancient Israel, modern Rome has its own version of mixing paganism with priestly garments.

The most brazen example came in 2019, when Vatican officials hosted and participated in ceremonies honouring the Amazonian earth deity “Pachamama.” Wooden idols of the goddess were paraded, placed before altars, and bowed to—but of course, we were told this wasn’t “worship.” No, no — it was “veneration” (as always). Because in the Vatican’s modern thesaurus, idolatry simply means culturally sensitive spirituality. Let’s not call it what it plainly is: an abomination in the house of God. Pachamama, whose name literally means “Mother Earth,” is a fertility goddess tied to offerings, sacrifices, and seasonal cycles — a classic face of the Triple Goddess in Andean form. And yet she was honoured inside Vatican walls, just steps from where Christ is supposedly proclaimed. This is not cultural appreciation; this is spiritual adultery, echoing Israel's ancient compromise with Ashtoreth and the groves.

So when we see these trends — the triple tiara, the veneration of Mary as Queen of Heaven, and now Pachamama enshrined in Rome — it becomes painfully obvious that the spirit of the goddess is alive and well in modern religion. Babylon didn’t die; she put on a chasuble.

In the end times, there is a push toward a one-world religion, a spiritual harlot that merges faiths and rejects the exclusive lordship of Christ. The Triple Goddess concept is congenial to this effort because it is inclusive and adaptable – she can be Maiden (for the youth and new agers), Mother (for fertility cults and earth worshippers), and Crone (for witches and occultists), offering “something for everyone” except truth. In Revelation 17, the vision of the harlot Babylon shows her holding a golden cup full of abominations and fornication, wearing purple and scarlet and precious stones – a rich and powerful religious system, in bed with kings. This certainly brings to mind the opulence of certain religious hierarchies (the Vatican among them), but also the wealth of New Age gurus and false prophets who make merchandise of souls. The harlot is called the “Mother of Harlots”, indicating she spawns many false sects and cults. Ultimately, all false paths – whether overt Satanism, subtle occult “spirituality,” apostate Christianity, or other religions – will unite in one cause: to resist the Lamb of God. They will gladly trade their differences for the common goal of erasing the influence of true biblical faith from the earth. This is Babylon’s spiritual cocktail, intoxicating the nations.

At its heart, the deception we are exposing is a counterfeit kingdom of godhood. It has:

• A counterfeit goddess (Inanna/Ishtar, Triple Moon, “Queen of Heaven”) inspiring false teachings and occult practices.

• A counterfeit gospel (“ye shall not die… ye shall be as gods” – Genesis 3:4-5) that tells man he can ascend by his own will (through secret knowledge, rituals, or technology) – no need for repentance or a Savior.

• Counterfeit sacraments like the Cremation of Care, where sin is not washed away but rather conscience is burned away, and like certain elite initiation rites that bind the participant to darkness rather than light.

• A counterfeit king of kings — men, popes, emperors, and global elites who crown themselves in place of Christ, claiming dominion over heaven, earth, and the underworld, while leading souls into rebellion, and trampling God's covenant.

• Counterfeit trinity symbols (666, triple crowns, triple goddesses) that masquerade as holy but carry the mark of the Beast.

• Counterfeit miracles and sorceries that wow the masses and deceive leaders into believing the lie.

Yet, for all these elaborate counterfeits, the end of the story is foreordained by God. Just as Inanna was cast down and just as the Tower of Babel was toppled, so too will Babylon’s sorcerers and kings face a sudden and irrevocable fall. “Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire” says the Lord of Babylon (Revelation 18:8). The merchants who lived deliciously with her will weep and wail as they see the smoke of her burning (18:9-11). All the power and wealth they amassed through occult deceit will turn to dust and ash.

Come Out of Her, My People

The ancient myth of Inanna and the biblical account of Eden converge to deliver a timeless warning: do not seek godhood apart from God. What the devil paints as enlightenment is actually the road to hell – a road paved with pride, adorned with occult symbolism, and traveled by the powerful and the deceived alike. The Triple Goddess, the Triple Crown, the 666, the entire pageantry of occult dominion, is destined to collapse before the glory of the true King of Kings. “For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods” (Psalm 95:3). No counterfeit god or goddess can stand before Him.

To anyone entangled in these deceptions – whether beguiled by the beauty of a goddess, enticed by the promise of secret knowledge, or tempted by the idea of being your own god – the Word of God cries out: “Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues” (Revelation 18:4). Come out of Babylon. Renounce the lie that began in Eden and find shelter in the truth. True godhood – to be like God – is found not by usurping God, but by surrendering to Him, being conformed to the image of His Son through the new birth. Satan’s version of godhood is a deadly trap: it tells you to embrace sin and murder your conscience, promising freedom, but delivering slavery. In contrast, Jesus Christ offers to cleanse our sins with His own blood and renew our conscience, giving true freedom to know and do what is right.

We live in days when the “merchants of the earth” wield unprecedented influence, and their sorceries – both literal and figurative – have spread through media, education, and even churches. Spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6:12) is real, but so is the power of God to save and to protect His own. This post is both an exposé and a plea. Like a watchman on the wall, I am sounding the alarm that the seductive idols of old are still at work, only now they hide behind polished facades of culture and power. Do not be deceived: the naked truth is that the emperor has no clothes – the proud agents of this deception, for all their pomp, are themselves naked before God, and their shame will be exposed.

But you, dear reader, need not share in that shame or judgment.

“Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame,” says the Lord (Revelation 16:15). How do we keep our garments? By receiving the robe of righteousness that Christ provides (Isaiah 61:10) and not trading it for the false promises of pagan gods. Cling to Jesus, the True Bridegroom, whose loving sacrifice covers our sin and removes our shame. Then the next time some modern “serpent” whispers about secret knowledge or calls you to bow at the altar of self or a mother goddess, you can see it for what it is – the same old lie that led Inanna to hell and drove Eden’s children out of paradise.

In these prophetic days, where we see the shadows of Revelation growing long, may we have the discernment to recognize the Inanna spirit behind the trendy spirituality, the Edenic lie behind the promise of human enhancement, and the mark of Babylon behind the glittering facade of the new world order. The descent into the underworld is not a path to godhood, but to death. The only path to godliness is through the Cross and the Resurrection – dying to self and rising in Christ. All other roads, however enlightened they seem, lead to a pit of darkness.

Embrace the truth that sets you free – the truth found in Jesus alone. Reject the sorceries, the idols, the lies. Do not glory in shame as the world does, but rather glory in the cross of Christ. For He will clothe you in white, that “the shame of thy nakedness do not appear” (Revelation 3:18).

“Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” – John 8:32 (KJV)

The parallels between Inanna’s descent and Genesis, between the Triple Goddess and end-time Babylon, are not mere coincidences – they are patterns of satanic deception repeated through the ages. We are called to shine light on these works of darkness (Ephesians 5:11) and warn others. This post has unveiled the connections and given scriptural insight into their meaning. The rest is up to each individual soul. Will you heed the warning, or wander after the beast? Will you cover yourself in Christ, or join the naked revelers of Babylon? The hour is late, and the Bridegroom cometh. May we be found watching, clothed, and not ashamed at His appearing.
