The first Messianic prophecy in the Holy Bible is Genesis 3:15:

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.

In the above, it is talking about the seed of a woman, instead of a man. This is a virgin birth. The child that comes forth of this virgin will defeat Satan.

Satan knows the Scriptures, so he knew what Genesis 3:15 meant. Remember, Satan has even quoted Scripture to Jesus - see Matthew 4:6.

The devil, who is the great counterfeiter, had a plan. The goal was to create a false fulfillment of the prophecy of Genesis 3:15. Before he could do that, he had to set the wheels in motion...

When Satan fell, he wasn't alone. 1/3 of the angels sided with him, and they fell with him:

And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. -Revelation 12:4

The above is both a past, and future fulfillment, as is the below:

And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. -Revelation 12:7-8

I believe that Satan and his fallen angels were cast out of heaven, and that's when he embodied the serpent, and beguiled Eve. Although, we see in Scripture that Satan still has access to heaven:

Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. -Job 1:6-7

In the tribulation, Satan and his fallen angels will lose complete access to heaven, and will be cast completely to the earth. Satan will play a big part in the tribulation at that point.

Notice the phrase "sons of God" in Job 1:6-7 above? If you read the whole chapter, it is quite clear that "sons of God" were angels - fallen or not, that was one of the titles for them in the Old Testament. (In the New Testament, sons of God takes on a different meaning - those who are born again are adopted into God's family as sons. See 1 John 3:1.)

The phrase "sons of God" may seem familiar, because it makes a striking appearance in Genesis 6:4:

There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

Let us break down the above verse a bit, because there is a lot of information packed into it.

"There were giants in the earth in those days" - In what days? The next phrase tells us which days - "when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them."

The offspring of these sons of God with the earth women were:

- giants

- mighty men which were of old

- men of renown

Remember, in the book of Job "sons of God" is defined for us - they are angels. The angels in Genesis 6:4 are some of the angels that fell with Satan. Not all of the 1/3 fallen angels mated with human women, as we'll see later in this article.

The offspring of the fallen angels and the human women were devil half breeds. Not half Satan, but half devil - what people today define as demon. Devil is more accurate, but that's another topic. The devil is Satan, but a devil is a demon.

These devil/human half breeds - some giants, some with six fingers and six toes (see 2 Sam. 21:20) some mighty, men of renown - eventually outnumbered full humans on the earth.

Why did God flood the earth? Let's see:

And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. -Genesis 6:5

God flooded the earth, because:

1) the wickedness of man was great
and
2) man's thoughts were continually evil

Why did God choose to save Noah and his family? Noah was chosen for two very important reasons. Take a look:

Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. -Genesis 6:9b

Noah was:

1) perfect in his generations
and
2) he was a just man who walked with God

Point two is easy to comprehend, but what does point one mean? Here's what I think it means:

Noah was perfect in his generations - he didn't have devil blood in him, and neither did his three sons - Ham, Shem, and Japheth.

The flood cleansed the earth. It destroyed all the evil doers, AND got rid of the devil/human half breeds. Jesus had to come through a purely human blood line, not one that was part devil.

After the flood, Noah's sons and their wives had children, and they were fruitful, and multiplied. Later in the Old Testament, we see the appearance of giants again - devil/human half breeds. Some people believe that the fallen angels must have bred with human women again. I don't think this is the case, because the Bible tells us that the fallen angels who did this are in chains at this very moment. We'll look at that in Scripture in a few moments...

I believe Ham's wife carried demonic blood in her veins. Remember, Noah and his generations were pure of the corrupted bloodline, but that doesn't mean all of his sons' wives had pure blood lines. The reason I think the corrupted bloodline came through Ham's wife, is because of the following:

And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan. And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. -Genesis 10:6-8

Nimrod makes for a very interesting study. Nimrod began to be a mighty man - this brings Genesis 6:4 back to remembrance, especially this part - "the same became mighty men." Nimrod "began to be a mighty one in the earth."

If we read further about Nimrod, we see:

He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar." -Genesis 10:9-10

Nimrod was the founder of Babylon. He was their king, and his wife was their queen.

Now we are going to take an interesting side trail on our study of the Black Thread, and get to know Nimrod and his wife a bit better. Nimrod's wife is mentioned in Scripture, but not under her given name. We'll get into that in a few minutes, so hang on...

Since Nimrod was the founder of Babylon, it stands to reason that archeologists have uncovered ancient Babylonian tablets that mention him. They did...

Nimrod's wife was Queen Semiramis. They ruled Babylon together. People worshipped them. Nimrod had certain qualities and characteristics, being half devil, half human. He used these characteristics to allow himself to be worshipped by his followers. Queen Semaramis soaked all of this in, as well.

Nimrod died. Semiramis came up pregnant, and proclaimed that she was still a virgin, and that the child she was carrying was Nimrod. She claimed to be a virgin, whose baby was her dead husband, come back to life. The people believed Nimrod was a god. They believed Semaramis was pregnant with their god, who was also the son of their god. This is a fascinating and extensive topic. Below is a link to a book you can read for free, that gets into this in great detail. Please take advantage of this opportunity, and read the below book:

The Two Babylons

This false virgin birth was Satan's plan in counterfeiting the prophecy in Genesis 3:15. This was the beginning of the Mystery Babylon religion. Semiramis and her priests instated religious rituals such as:

- Mother and Child Statues
- The Mass
- The Wafer (Eucharist)
- Purgatory
- The Sovereign Pontiff
- Prayers for the Dead
- The Rosary
- The Sign of the Cross (cross of Baal - +)
- The Confessional
- Clothing and Crowning of Images
- Priests, Monks, and Nuns
- Relic Worship
- Worship of the Sacred Heart
- Extreme Unction

...And there is more. To learn about the origins of the above Mystery Babylon religious practices, click here.

In Genesis chapter 11, we read of a massive temple, or high place, that the Babylonians started to build. I believe it was a massive, ziggurat-type structure, with a statue of Semiramis and her child at the top. Heathen and pagan religions often erected statues in the mouth of caves, in groves of trees, and on high places. Scripture references this.

And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they had committed, above all that their fathers had done. For they also built them high places, and images, and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree. -1 Kings 14:22-23

Some religions today still do this:

The statues in the above pictures are not named Semarmis and Child, but it's the same religion, just the names have been changed.

You see, when the Babylonians in Genesis chapter 11 started making their high place, God stopped them:

Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. -Genesis 11:7-9

The people brought their practice of the Mystery Babylon religion to their new homes. They still worshipped Semiramis and child, but since they all spoke different languages, they each had different names for them. There are hundreds or more different names for Semaramis and child. Here are a few:

Isis and Horus


Krishna and Devaki


Shingmoo


Diana


Ishtar
