The Return of Osiris

“The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit…”— Revelation 17:8

Nimrod, Gilgamesh, and the Return of the first Antichrist

In the beginning of post-flood civilization, a "man" arose who would not only found the world’s first empire but set the archetype for rebellion against God. This man, Nimrod, described in Genesis 10:8–10 as a “mighty one on the earth,” built Babel, Erech (Uruk), and Akkad in the land of Shinar. Jewish tradition paints him as more than a king; he was a sorcerer, a tyrant, and a rebel whose legacy echoes through myth, scripture, secret societies, and perhaps even modern biotechnology.

When God saw that the people of the earth were united under Nimrod's leadership to build a "tower"; a ziggurat that may have been more than a structure, possibly a gateway between heaven and earth; He intervened. According to Genesis 11, God scattered humanity by confusing their languages, breaking their unified defiance and dividing them into separate nations and tongues. But while the people dispersed, the worship of Nimrod did not end; it was merely fractured and rebranded.

As cultures diverged linguistically and geographically, they carried with them a memory of Nimrod; the deified king, the god-man, the solar "hero"; and reinterpreted him in their own tongues and mythologies. That is why, across history and around the globe, we find eerily similar stories of a dying and rising god, a mighty hunter, a builder of cities, a lord of the dead.

The Epic of Gilgamesh offers one of the clearest parallels to Nimrod’s story. Gilgamesh, ruler of Uruk; a city directly tied to Nimrod’s empire; is described twice in the ancient tablets as “two-thirds god, one-third man.” Mathematically, this ratio is 0.666, a striking echo of Revelation 13:18, which defines the number of the Beast as 666. This identity alone sets Gilgamesh apart from ordinary men. He was not just a demi-god, but a being who mirrored divine attributes illegitimately. His quest for immortality and descent into the underworld mark him as a precursor to the Beast “who was, and is not, and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit,” as described in Revelation 17:8. His hybrid nature and resurrection symbolism make him a perfect candidate for a reincarnation; or more literally, a resurrection; of Nimrod.

Osiris, the Egyptian god of the underworld, offers another mirror image. In the “Papyrus of Ani,” also known as the Egyptian Book of the Dead, Osiris is praised with titles that later appear in Revelation: “Lord of Lords,” “King of Kings,” “Prince of Princes.” These are not accidental parallels. Osiris was believed to have died, been dismembered, and then restored by his consort Isis (the Queen of Heaven) except his phallus, which was lost and symbolically replaced by the obelisk, a motif that appears in modern cities like Washington D.C., London, and the Vatican. These divine titles and his resurrection narrative position Osiris as a counterfeit Christ figure. Unlike Jesus, who rose in bodily glory, Osiris remains lord of the dead. He sits in the underworld, awaiting a return not from heaven, but from the abyss. This is also why Sunday came to be known as 'the Lord’s Day,' even though the true holy day established by Christ is the Sabbath; Saturday

Tammuz continues this pattern. In Ezekiel 8:14, God condemns Israelite women for “weeping for Tammuz,” a ritual mourning for a dying and rising god. This ancient observance was eventually absorbed into Christian liturgy as Lent, with its 40 days of fasting. The Roman Catholic Church claims this period reflects the 40 days Christ spent fasting in the wilderness. Yet nowhere in Scripture does Jesus instruct believers to imitate this fast, let alone to mark their foreheads with a sun symbol. Ash Wednesday, which initiates Lent, includes the ritual of placing a cross of ashes on the forehead; a gesture presented as Christian, but deeply rooted in Babylonian rites. The ash cross echoes the TAU, a Tammuz symbol used in ancient sun worship.

Alexander Hislop, in The Two Babylons, argues persuasively that the practices of cross-marking, ritual mourning, and solar veneration all originated with Nimrod’s cult and his posthumous deification. Moreover, the cross itself; long before it became associated with Christianity; was a solar emblem used to venerate the sun god across cultures. The question must be asked: when did Christ ever instruct His followers to bear the mark of His adversary?

Freemasonry adds yet another dimension to Nimrod’s enduring legacy. Esoteric traditions and Masonic texts often refer to Nimrod as the original “Master Builder,” the founder of Masonry itself. His role as bridge-builder (Pontifex Maximus) prefigures the Roman emperors and popes who adopted the same title. In this framework, Nimrod’s building of the Tower of Babel wasn’t simply architectural; it was symbolic of an attempt to force communion with heaven on his own terms. God’s disruption of that plan; confusing languages; didn’t destroy Nimrod’s cult; it scattered it. Across cultures, he became Osiris in Egypt, Tammuz in Sumer, Baal in Canaan, Mithras in Persia, and Apollo in Greece and Rome. Masonic rituals such as the death and resurrection of Hiram Abiff echo the dismemberment of Osiris and the martyrdom of Nimrod. The obelisks, pillars, and sacred geometry of Masonic architecture are silent monuments to this legacy.

Tom Horn and Rob Skiba take this theory further. In works like Zenith 2016 and Babylon Rising, they assert that Apollo, Osiris, Gilgamesh, and Nimrod are the same being remembered under different names. Revelation 9:11 names Apollyon; Apollo; as the “angel of the Abyss,” suggesting a future re-emergence of this ancient king. Horn proposes that the Antichrist will not be merely a charismatic leader, but a resurrected god-man, genetically revived through DNA recovered from ancient tombs; such as Gilgamesh’s, discovered in Iraq in 2003. The timing is provocative: the U.S. invaded Iraq just weeks after this tomb was reportedly located near the ancient city of Uruk. Was the war truly about weapons of mass destruction; or oil; or was it really about something far more ancient and perilous, hidden deep beneath the Euphrates?

Esoteric researchers suggest that Nimrod was beheaded by Esau, a wound to the head that may be referenced symbolically in Revelation 13:3: “And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed.” This healing becomes a hallmark of the Beast’s return; an ancient king once dead, now alive. Fringe theorists argue that cloning, CRISPR, or occult ritual could bring him back. The legend doesn’t have to remain in myth; especially when science now approaches the ability to revive extinct species and manipulate human genetics.

Daniel 2:43 adds an unsettling detail: “They shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another.” Many interpret this as a reference to hybrid beings; perhaps Nephilim; created through the union of divine or non-human entities and mankind. If Nimrod himself was such a hybrid, it would explain the persistent attempts to resurrect him. During the COVID pandemic, fringe circles speculated that mRNA vaccines could be a delivery system for genetic alteration. While this theory lacks scientific proof, it reflects growing concerns over how biotechnology may intersect with eschatology; altering not just our bodies, but our spiritual destiny.

The role of the Nazis in preserving and advancing these occult ideas is not to be overlooked. After World War II, Nazi scientists known for genetic research and occult practices were absorbed into Western programs via Operation Paperclip, or fled to South America through Vatican-supported ratlines. Argentina, where many Nazis resettled, prominently features a sun symbol on its national flag; echoing the solar deities of Babylon and Egypt. These exiled elites continued their rituals, including solstice ceremonies, and may have believed they were preserving knowledge for the return of the ancient king.

Calendar changes made by Emperor Constantine further advanced the merging of sun worship with Christianity. He shifted the day of worship from Saturday, the Sabbath, to Sunday; the day of the sun god, December 25, originally celebrated as the birthday of Tammuz, Mithras, and Osiris, became the accepted date for Christ’s birth. These adjustments reflect not theological accuracy but political strategy: blending paganism with Christianity to unify the illuminati empire.

Today, the convergence of myth, science, and prophecy suggests Nimrod's return may be closer than ever. If the tomb discovered in Iraq was truly that of Gilgamesh, and if DNA was recovered, then the stage is set. Biotechnology, artificial intelligence, and global surveillance are now aligning into what many call the Beast System. Revelation describes a time when no one can buy or sell without the mark of the Beast. Already, digital ID systems and vaccine passports have shown how easily access to commerce can be controlled. The infrastructure is here. All that remains is the revelation of the one who will rule it.

During the COVID-19 crisis, the world witnessed an unprecedented shift: global systems implemented digital health passports and restricted economic participation for those who refused the vaccine. Although the vaccine itself may not be the final mark of the Beast, it served as a global test run; demonstrating the population’s readiness to accept biometric tracking, centralized databases, and economic compliance under pressure. Revelation 13:17 declares: “No one could buy or sell unless he had the mark.” What was once viewed as symbolic is now technologically feasible.

If Nimrod’s DNA was truly extracted in 2003 and replicated through advanced genetics, could the final Antichrist be not born; but engineered? Could the Beast that was, and is not, and yet is, return through synthetic resurrection rather than spiritual manifestation?

Nimrod was the first post-Flood world ruler, the first to exalt himself as a god, the first to unite humanity in rebellion against the Most High. And if Revelation 17:8 is understood literally; “The beast that thou sawest was, and is not, and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit…”; then Nimrod will also be the last: the final ruler of the Beast system. The one who began mankind’s open defiance of God will be the one to end it.

From the pages of Genesis to the visions of Revelation, Nimrod’s shadow looms large. He was the first post-flood king, the founder of Babylon, the instigator of rebellion, the original Antichrist. He was remembered as Gilgamesh the god-man, Osiris the lord of the underworld, Tammuz the mourned-for son, Mithras the solar savior, and Apollo the destroyer. And one day soon, according to the Book of Revelation, he will return; as the Beast who “was, and is not, and yet is.”

Hybridization and Prophecy: Daniel 2 and the Seed of Men

Daniel 2:43 speaks cryptically of a final kingdom:

“They shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.”

Through Nimrod, the Nephilim bloodline continues. This is not just implied through typology but found in Scripture. In Genesis 10:14, we learn that the Philistines descended from Mizraim, and from this line came five giants; beings of unusual size and strength. These Philistines later appear throughout the Old Testament, most famously in the story of Goliath. Their reputation for producing giants suggests the continuation of a corrupted bloodline, possibly influenced by the Nephilim of Genesis 6.

The Philistines worshipped Dagon, a deity often mischaracterized as a half-man, half-fish god due to later depictions. However, the original meaning of Dagon is more accurately rooted in the Semitic word dagan, meaning grain; implying a fertility or agriculture god, not a marine one. Fertility gods were almost always associated with sun worship, cycles of life, and death; the very traits that align with the mythology of Nimrod, Osiris, and Tammuz. This further blurs the line between Dagon and Nimrod, who was deified as a solar deity after death.

Dagon, the god of the Philistines, stood as a direct adversary to the Holy God of Israel—perhaps shedding light on the deep roots of anti-Semitism within certain branches of the Church and the hidden legacy behind the Vatican ratlines.

This brings us to a striking observation: why do popes, bishops, and high-ranking clergy in the Roman Catholic Church wear the mitre, a ceremonial headdress resembling the ancient symbols associated with Dagon? The resemblance is not superficial; the mitre mimics the open mouth of a fish in its form, symbolizing continuity with these ancient priesthoods. Even more telling is the presence of an Egyptian obelisk standing outside "St. Peter’s Basilica" in the Vatican, an unmistakable symbol of Osiris and solar resurrection. Combined with the ritual of giving Catholics a round, sun-shaped wafer (often placed in a monstrance resembling a solar disc), the practices bear strong similarities to the Dionysian and Babylonian cults ; all of which trace back to Nimrod and his posthumous identity.

In the ancient cult of Dionysus; the Greek sun and fertility god; worshippers would symbolically eat his flesh and drink his blood during ritual feasts. This act was believed to unite the participant with the god himself, merging their essence with his. The ritual reenacted Dionysus’s cyclical death and resurrection and was often accompanied by ecstatic, frenzied ceremonies meant to break the boundary between the mortal and divine. This practice, strikingly similar to the Christian Eucharist, raises profound theological questions.

However, Leviticus 17:11 clearly condemns the consumption of blood, stating, “For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls.” Blood, according to the Torah, is meant for atonement, not ingestion. This begs the question: Why would Christ, who said he came not to break the Law but to fulfill it, command his followers to symbolically drink his blood?

Adding to this, the Bible tells us in Jeremiah 47:4 and Amos 9:7 that the Philistines came from Caphtor, identified by many scholars as the island of Crete. Crete is also the origin of Greek mythology, home to the Minotaur, labyrinths, and demigods. It has been regarded as a cradle of royal and divine hybrid bloodlines, many of which trace their mythical ancestry to the gods; a veiled memory, perhaps, of the Nephilim.

This has long puzzled scholars. But when seen through the lens of Genesis 6, it begins to make sense. If "they" (as mentioned in Daniel 2:43 refers to non-human or hybrid entities; possibly Nephilim or genetically altered beings; it suggests a deliberate act of mixing human DNA with something "other." Nimrod may not have been born as a hybrid, but Jewish tradition and esoteric sources suggest he "began to be a mighty one"; hinting at a transformation. Some propose he underwent a change, perhaps through occult ritual, or even through genetic manipulation; becoming part-human, part-angelic, or part-something else.

Genesis 3:5 (KJV)

"For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil."

This idea of hybrid resurrection finds parallel in Revelation 13, which describes a Beast that suffers a mortal wound and yet lives; mimicking the death and resurrection of Christ. Osiris, too, was resurrected by Isis after being dismembered, his body reassembled after a head wound. Similarly, Nimrod was said to have been beheaded by Esau, and yet his cult lived on, suggesting an archetypal resurrected sun-god whose identity splintered across cultures but retained its essential power and deception.

All of this points to a spiritual and genetic continuum. From Nimrod to the Philistines, from Crete to the Vatican, the same ancient worship, bloodline, and ideology may have passed down; now veiled under new symbols, but rooted in the same rebellion. The Beast system described in Revelation may be both spiritual and biological, a reanimation of an ancient king, god, or hybrid; resurrected not only in power, but in literal flesh.

Ancient Sumer, and the Stargate Theory

Saddam Hussein’s fascination with Babylon was not merely political or historical; it ran far deeper, into the spiritual and possibly the occult. He openly portrayed himself as a modern reincarnation of King Nebuchadnezzar, the ancient ruler of Babylon who destroyed Solomon’s Temple and exiled the Israelites. During the 1980s and 1990s, Saddam undertook massive reconstruction projects of ancient Babylon. He had bricks inscribed with both his own name and Nebuchadnezzar’s, physically aligning himself with the biblical king. Simultaneously, he funded extensive archaeological excavations in Babylon, Ur, Nineveh, and other sites tied to ancient Mesopotamian power. Saddam repeatedly claimed he was chosen to restore the greatness of Mesopotamia; a vision that seems, on the surface, like nationalism, but for some researchers, it hints at something more disturbing.

Several authors and theorists; including Michael Salla, David Flynn, and William Henry; have put forth what has become known as the Stargate Theory. According to their investigations, a real, ancient portal or “stargate” may exist in Iraq, hidden within the ruins of early Sumerian cities like Eridu, Ur, or Uruk. This stargate, they claim, was a kind of advanced technology capable of interdimensional or interplanetary travel, perhaps even communication with spiritual entities. The theory suggests that Saddam Hussein, either through his excavations or covert knowledge passed down through occult channels, discovered this stargate; or at the very least, was attempting to reactivate it.

The timing of certain events lends some eerie credibility to the theory. In early 2003, just before the U.S. invasion of Iraq, German archaeologists announced they had located what they believed to be the tomb of Gilgamesh, buried under the Euphrates River near the ancient city of Uruk. In early 2003, shortly before the Iraq War began, a German-led archaeological team claimed this discovery after conducting surveys in the region. The team was part of the German Oriental Society (Deutsche Orient-Gesellschaft), and the lead archaeologist was reportedly Dr. Jörg Fassbinder, affiliated with the Bavarian Department of Historical Monuments. Using advanced ground-penetrating radar technology, the team identified what they believed matched the description of Gilgamesh’s tomb from ancient texts.

Strangely; and notably; the team hailed from Bavaria, the same region where the historical Illuminati was founded in 1776; the very same year the Freemasons among the Founding Fathers established the United States of America. For many researchers, this coincidence is more than historical trivia. The Illuminati has long been associated with esoteric knowledge, hidden agendas, and the pursuit of ancient power. That Bavarian archaeologists may have been the ones to uncover the final resting place of a legendary god-king; potentially Nimrod himself; adds a chilling layer of intrigue. It raises the possibility that powerful networks or secret societies may have had a vested interest in rediscovering, extracting, or even reactivating something buried beneath ancient Mesopotamia.

If Gilgamesh is indeed another identity of Nimrod, the biblical founder of Babel and archetypal rebel against God, then the implications are staggering. The tomb may have held not only the body of this ancient “god-king” but also the potential to extract his DNA; and with occult knowledge, possibly resurrect him. Furthermore, if the tomb site was part of an ancient stargate; then its activation or control would become a top-priority asset.

Biblical prophecy may shed light on the symbolic or literal dimensions of this theory. Revelation 9:11 (interesting verse number) speaks of the Abyss being opened and releasing entities upon the earth; not as metaphors, but as tangible, destructive forces. Revelation 17:8 refers to the Beast as one “who was, and is not, and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit.” This passage aligns hauntingly with the idea of a buried king rising again. Saddam’s palace was even built on what some describe as a Ziggurat platform; architectural forms associated in the ancient world with divine access and celestial gateways. This mirrors scholarly reinterpretations of the Tower of Babel not as a tower to heaven in the traditional sense, but as a structure attempting to open a connection between dimensions.

Taken together, the narrative that emerges is no longer just about geopolitics or archaeology. It becomes one of prophecy, ancient rebellion, and a long-dormant power waiting to return.If Gilgamesh is truly Nimrod, and Nimrod is the Beast described in Revelation, then the events in Iraq in 2003 may have been far more than a war for oil. They may have marked a covert effort; either to prevent or to accelerate; the return of the Antichrist and the emergence of the Mark of the Beast.

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

This foundational prophecy reveals a cosmic struggle between two bloodlines: the seed of the woman, through whom the Messiah would come, and the seed of the serpent, a lineage of rebellion and deception. Scripture and ancient tradition point to this duality continuing throughout human history—two spiritual bloodlines on earth, one destined for redemption, the other rooted in corruption and pure evil.
