What an excellent and inspired article! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and years of study with us. Your writing is eloquent and use of scripture is marvelous. Have you ever read the book "The Two Babylons" by Rev. Alexander Hislop? It's one of the most useful books I've read. The book provides an excellent explanation of the ancient Babylonian Religious System {Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth (Revelation 17-18)}. The book sets out and accomplishes proving that this ancient system was passed down intact to the modern-day Catholic Church, Freemasonry, and various other occult/mystery religions. For example, Catholicism is in no way representative of Biblical Christianity. The images of the Woman and Child are not Mary the mother of Jesus nor the baby Jesus but rather Semiramis and Nimrod/Tammuz (Babylonian). The book explains symbolism, idolatry, icons, relics, rites, rituals, ceremonies, priest-craft, temple worship/practices, traditions of men, etc.. which are all identical to the ancient Babylonian Religious System. In addition, the book shows how our Modern Holidays (i.e. Christmas, Easter, Halloween) also originate from the ancient religious practices of Babylon. The true origin of pagan festivals and heathen customs are explained, as well as Sun (Baal) Worship, which can all be traced back to Babel/Babylon.
After reading the book, I prepared a short book review/article as well as a short article on Sun (Baal) Worship. I would be happy to email these two articles to you if you would are interested.
I wasn't aware of the book, but I understand the trail of occult history fairly well. Our own Substack content provider, Alexandra, has created a youtube vid with an excellent "overview" (2 hrs 20m) on same. I would love to see your work. Will you reply with links?
I found a digital format of what appears to be the exact edition of the book that I have "The Two Babylons by Alexander Hislop". It's a digital edition that was restored, expanded, reset and the images remastered by the Central Highlands Congregation of God in 20 February, 2021, Revised 21 August, 2022. It looks easy to read with all sixty-one woodcuts illustrations. Maybe this would be interesting to you.

I'm sorry that I'm not able to send you any links because the articles are not on a website, but are in pdf form so I would need to email them to you.
I see. I don't know how I can send you my personal email without everyone having access. That I do not want.
Yes, I guess I didn't realize that this is a dilemma.
