Next, we will consider Greek mixanthropic entities.
Gods are powerful, creative, rulers. If powerful enough to create, then there
would need not be more than one true God. That God (El) is called “Yahweh”
in the Hebrew and His Power, “Elohim.” Angels are called “elohim” as
well because they were created by Yahweh (aka El).
Elohim is not the plural of
God but His goodness, or virtue, in creating. Hence, God is a Power with intelligence
great enough to create — omnipotent and omniscience, and as Existence Himself,
omnipresent.
The Greeks have many gods, and as such, none are almighty gods — as in El
Shaday. In fact, they are created gods, not by the One True God, but
by the minds of men.
Other imaginary (mythological) gods are fabricated from what ancient people
witnessed in nature. The One True God is seen by the things that He does (Rom
1:2), so people saw certain normal activities and assigned a god to many of
those activities. For instance:
·
Zeus would be their version of king of the gods as ruler of the sky,
weather, lightning, and justice.
·
Apollo would be their god of the sun, light, music, poetry, healing,
prophecy, and archery.
·
Hermes — the messenger god to other gods; and the god of trade, thieves,
travelers, sports, border crossings, and guide to the Underworld.
Their twelve gods were “Olympians” and at the Olympiad, men would compete
as if they were gods themselves, in a sort of unwitting mockery of the One True
God.
That there were twelve tribes of Israel and twelve Olympiads is probably not
coincidental and neither is that there were twelve apostles.
With that said, there are numerous commonalities between the Greek pantheon
of gods and the real Hebrew God.
Paul wrote, “The invisible things of (God) from the creation of the world
are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His
eternal power and Godhead” (Rom 1:20).
We look at the visible creation and comprehend God.
The Greeks looked at nature, divided it into actions, and created a god for
each action. It would not have been out of hatred but themselves misunderstanding
God. All pagan religions sort of resemble Judeo-Christianity but miss the mark
of God which is אוֹת ʼowth.
The literal meaning of that mark from el – vav – tav is “God Nailed
to the Cross.” The other religionists never understood Jesus was God in the
flesh. Their gods were natural activities made flesh by them.
Some religions worshipped the Sun
and the Moon because they could feel and sense the Sun and see their way by the
light of the Moon. To them, the “Father” was the Sun and the “Son” the moon
because of the way light emanated from the “Father” to the “Son.” They would
have been worshipping God in a false manner, knowing God but
misunderstanding Him. Surely, all pagan religions have a misunderstanding of
the real God, Yahweh and His Son, Jeshua.
The pagan religions would have
sliced God into pieces just as the Hebrews sliced the sin offerings into parts;
“He (the priest of God) shall flay the burnt offering and cut it into his
pieces” (Lev 1:6). Rather than the sin offering, pagans cut God into pieces for
their sins, making multiple gods.
The Greeks also created “mixanthropic”
gods such as Pan, Cheiron, Acheloos, the Sirens, plus several others. Those
part man and part beasts would have been hybrid beings with specialized and
perhaps dangerous divine functions. Although there were many, focus on Pan who
was half goat and half man and all a “god” to them.
Mixanthropic beings were as much misunderstood
copies of the biblical threshold creatures (Gen 1:26):
• objects that
appear and vanish
• entities that
behave non-ballistically
• forms that seem
aware but not communicative
• phenomena
that cross from one “state” to another
The biblical hybrid sky creatures
would be one form of mixanthropic gods and Anunnaki another. They were called “fowl
of the air” in genesis “op shamayim” (עוֹף
שָׁמַיִם). Among those hybrid sky creatures were
good creatures — cherubim whose divine functions were four: man, lion, ox, and
eagle. Ezekiel surely described the functions of cherubim according to the
nature of animals. Cherubim would not be mixanthropic creatures, but angels that
functions to perform for man and God.
Pan, the ancient Greek god: of
the wild, shepherds, flocks, rustic music, and nature’s untamed spaces. has been painted as half man and half goat — a
mixanthropic creature. (The goat is symbolic of Satan, so Pan would be the genes
of the Devil in a man.)
The English word “panic” was
derived from the creature, Pan. Pan seems to have been a fictional, mythological
creature created by the Greeks to explain both good: shepherding and music; and
evil: the wild things.
Pan would have been imaginary and
much like the demon you might imagine in a graveyard late at night. Whereas man
is really the construct of God, Pan would be the construct of the imaginations
of ancient men. Pan was created, surely because they misunderstood the true
God.
Since there were hybrid sky creatures
in the Garden, such as the offspring of Cain, some earlier nation, perhaps the
Sumerians, created a hybrid sky creature who the Greeks copied.
Gods are like the telephone game:
The original Word is of God, but when the Word is passed down multiple times,
the Word is misconstrued, and very little like the original divine Message. As
nations were formed; God, angels, and mankind would become twisted, and even —
as “mixanthropic” creatures. Pan seemed to have been a combination of man and
beast who became a God. That he was goat and man has special meaning since the
Devil is imagined as a goat.
Cain was a mixanthropic creature
as scripture reveals:
·
…Cain, who was of that
wicked one, and slew his brother, and wherefore slew he him? Because his own
works were evil, and his brother's righteous. (1 John 3:12)
·
Adam knew Eve his wife;
and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord (Gen 4:1).
The “wicked one” was what is
called the “Serpent,” but in actuality is the seed of some Beast with iniquity
from Satan in an it. That seed functioned as evil just as with the Greek god,
Pan.
Eve was the woman or wife — Isha
— who had been created from Elohim via Adam. It is learned from Genesis
4:1 that Adam was not the father of Cain, but Eve, or “Isha,” was his
mother. Hence Cain had good potential in him and God branded him as a cow might
be branded as belonging to Him — אוֹת ʼowth.
Cain would have looked like an Ish-man
and nothing like his supposed father, Adamic man. Cain would have been brutish
outwardly with some goodness inwardly. Cain was sort of a “Pan” creature
— he was a threshold being whose functions could have made him idealized as
part man/part beast and in time, Cain became a god in his own eyes (Gen 3:5).
The Greeks may have misunderstood
Cain whose seed somehow got through the flood. [1]
Eve was the mother of Cain as the
“mother of all living” (Gen 3:20), but Adam just watched (yada). Eve
became a goddess; she said, “I have gotten a man from the Lord” (Gen 4:1); not
the “Lord God” but just another thing she imagined was God, perhaps the persona
of Lucifer in some rudimentary beast of the field; hence the function of the wild
ruddiness of Pan.
Eve still had some good in her (Huau;
חַוָּה), since the letters
in her name mean: chet, separation of realms, vav, bound across
creation, and hey, breathed into existence; Eve would have begun
glorious and morphed into a threshold creature who God passed through the
firmament/membrane from a higher to a lower state of being — from glorious to
brutish. Cain “Ish” would be a kind like Eve, “Isha;” and a beast like us
outwardly and an elohim genetically because of “mitochondrial-Eve.”
Cain was half Adam-man and half-Beast.
He would have looked like any anthropoid but have the dominion, or a fragment of
God, within. He still belonged to God even as a ruddy looking beast, so God
marked him as His.
Cain was surely a hybrid threshold
being with a soul and a body like any beast of the field. He was biologically a
man-like beast but inwardly still had a living soul like Eve.
How would ancient people describe
Cain? How they imagined him with both good and evil within.
Just as Ezekiel seemed to have
described cherubim as creatures with different functions, perhaps ancient
people described Pan in the same imaginary way. Although he would look like
modern man with a soul, they would have seen him inwardly as good and evil —
like Cain — and transferred those vain imaginations into biological reality.
It seems that in their mind’s
eyes, Cain became Pan and they made him a god. Like Father God, Pan also has
three substances: man – beast – god
compared to Adam’s kind as man – soul – righteous like God.
With that said, Pan would be a
metaphoric Cain if this evidence is true.
All the gods of pagan nations, in
like manner, would somehow be metaphors of God; even the oak tree of the Druids
would be a metaphoric Tree of Life.
Pagan religions are God and His
functions as people misunderstood Him. Judeo-Christianity is the
proto-religion of all religions but only one religion understands God because
He came in the flesh for us to see and hear Him directly. Now, because you do
not understand is no excuse for not believing in Him.
The pagans had their visible God’s,
specifically the Greeks in whose culture Jesus lived. God used His own Imagination
and gave the Greeks what they needed to see Yahweh as the true God. He
revealed Jesus as a mixanthropic Thing: an upright Man, a Holy Ghost, and God. He
seemed to have made fools of the Greeks, and with the advent of Jesus, many saw
the foolishness of the gods that they had made from the true God.
