What is the origin of the Pope's
hat?
Dagon, the fish-god of the Philistines
and Babylonians, wore a fish hat that is still seen today with
Roman Catholic Church's pope and bishops.
According to
Ruben Joseph's book entitled,
Why Are The Young People Leaving The
Church,
"The miter is derived directly from
the miters of the ancient pagan fish-god dagon and the goddess
Cybele. The papal miter represents the head of Dagon with an
open mouth, which is the reason for the pointed shape and split
top."
The story the church wants you to
believe is provided by a PDF entitled, "The Bishop's Vestments"
while an online version of this explanation can be found
here.
The shape
of the mitre represents the
tongues of fire that
rested on the heads of the disciples gathered in the upper room
on the Day of Pentecost, when God
sent the
Holy Spirit
to 'the Church.'
What
the church's explanation fails to
describe is the actual fish eye on the side of the mitre.
Perhaps
this is an ember of charcoal from the tongues of fire? Probably not, it's a fish eye.
The book
Nineveh and Babylon by Austen
Henry Layard
stated:
In their veneration and worship of
Dagon, the high priest of paganism would actually put on a garment
that had been created from a huge fish!
The head of the fish formed
a mitre above that of the old man, while its scaly, fan-like tail
fell as a cloak behind, leaving the human limbs and feet exposed.
In 'Wine of
Roman Babylon'
is
stated:
The
most prominent form of worship in Babylon was dedicated to
Dagon, later known as
Ichthys, or the fish.
In
Chaldean times, the head of the church was the representative of
Dagon, he was considered to be infallible, and was addressed as
‘Your Holiness’.
Nations subdued by Babylon had to kiss the ring and slipper of
the Babylonian god-king. The same powers and the same titles are
claimed to this day by the Dalai Lama of Buddhism, and the Pope.
Moreover, the vestments of paganism, the fish mitre and robes of
the priests of Dagon are worn by the Catholic bishops, cardinals
and popes.
Ea Enki, who is a God of
Sumerian (Enki)
and Babylonian (Ea) mythology.
-
In Babylonian mythology, Ea was
a water god who was half man, half fish hybrid.
-
In Greek mythology, Ea was known as
Oannes.
By any name, this fish-god can be traced back to the
genetic manipulation of man
by the Anunnaki, as evidenced by
Zecharia Sitchin's
work.
It is believed that, in the daytime,
this deity would emerge from the water and was responsible for
teaching art, science and writing to the human race.
Berossus, a 3rd
century Babylonian priest once wrote,
At
first they led a somewhat wretched existence and lived without
rule after the manner of beasts.
But,
in the first year after the flood appeared an animal endowed
with human reason, named Oannes, who rose from out of the
Erythian Sea, at the point where it borders Babylonia. He had
the whole body of a fish, but above his fish's head he had
another head which was that of a man, and human feet emerged
from beneath his fish's tail.
He
had a human voice, and an image of him is preserved unto this
day.
He passed the day in the midst of men without taking food;
he taught them the use of letters, sciences and arts of all
kinds. He taught them to construct cities, to found temples, to
compile laws, and explained to them the principles of
geometrical knowledge.
He
made them distinguish the seeds of the earth, and showed them
how to collect the fruits; in short he instructed them in
everything which could tend to soften human manners and humanize
their laws.
From
that time nothing material has been added by way of improvement
to his instructions.
And when the sun set, this being Oannes,
retired again into the sea, for he was amphibious.
In the book
Revelation,
H.A. Ironside stated:
The
chief priests wore miters shaped like the head of fish, in honor
of
Dagon, the fish-god, the lord of life - another form of the
Tammuz mystery, as developed among Israel's old enemies, the
Philistines.
When
the chief priest was established in Rome, he took the title
Pontifex Maximus, which was imprinted on his miter.
When
Julius Caesar (who like all young Roman of good family, was an
initiate) had become the head of State, he was elected Pontifex
Maximus, and this title was held henceforth by all of the Roman
emperors down to Constantine the Great, who was, at one and the
same time, head of the church and high priest of the heathen!
The
title was afterward conferred upon the bishops of Rome and is
today borne by the pope, who is thus declared to be, not the
successor of the fisherman-apostle Peter, but the direct
successor of the high priest of the Babylonian mysteries and the
servant of the fish-god Dagon, for whom he wears, like his
idolatrous predecessor, the fisherman's ring.
Did you ever wonder why people kiss the Pope's ring?
Why do so many people of prominence kiss
the Pope's ring?
The Ring of the Fisherman, also known as
the
Piscatory Ring, is an official part
of the regalia worn by the Pope, who is head of the
Catholic Church and successor of Saint Peter, who
was a 'fisherman' by trade.
It used to feature a bas-relief of Peter
fishing from a boat, a symbolism derived from the tradition that the
apostles were,
"fishers of men".
(Mark 1:17)
The Fisherman's Ring is a signet used
until 1842 to seal official documents signed by the Pope.
According to
wiki, in breaking with this tradition:
"At the official introduction to his
office, the classic ring remained in its case. It was passed to
Pope Benedict XVI by the dean of the College of Cardinals,
Angelo Cardinal Sodano.
The ring was designed by jeweller
Claudio Franchi, who watched as Benedict placed the ring on
himself."
Although Pope
Benedict XVI wore his
Fisherman's Ring daily, it is no
longer the custom for popes to wear it at all.
Generally, a new pope will either
inherit the daily-wear ring of his predecessor, keep an old ring of
his own preference, or will choose a new daily-wear style.
Why is it no longer custom for the pope
to wear this ring? Because in astrotheology, we are existing out of
the Age of Pisces (the
two
fish) and into the
Age
of Aquarius. The ring no longer symbolizes the Age of Pisces.
Instead of seeing the two fish on
people's bumper stickers, we will soon start seeing some sort of
sign for the water bearer,
Aquarius.
Who is Dagon?
In the bible,
Dagon dates back to around
the 3rd millennium, B.C., long before the birth of
Jesus Christ
and was first mentioned in Judges 16:23, where the Philistines
offered Dagon a great sacrifice after their idol allegedly delivered
Samson to them.
Then
the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer
a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they
said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.
Judges 16:23
This is just one of the many ritualistic
sacrifices that we see in
the bible and is no different than
any modern day sacrifice,
such as 9/11
or any given war.
Many consider the Canaanites to be part
of the Philistines who worshipped worshiped,
These were some of the early sun-worshipping cultures that
have led to many of the metaphors we see in modern religion, e.g.
God's son/sun.
In Mali, there is a
tribe called
the Dogons, whose legends from their
heritage were used by the Egyptians and subsequent dynasties. The
Dogon knew of constellations and alignments that we didn't
'discover' until many years later, such as Sirius B.
According to Dogon legend,
the Nommos
arrived from the
Sirius star system in a vessel
along with fire and thunder, or as we would say today, in a
UFO. The Nommos were part fish and
part man and could live on both land and in the sea.
They are also referred to as "Masters of
the Water", "the Monitors", and "the Teachers". Perhaps frogs,
dolphins and whales were placed here by the Nommos? Even the mystery
of mermaids may originate from this premise.
Throughout mythology, we see fish-like
people, mermaids and mermen, such as Poseidon or Neptune.
An excerpt from
Ancient Pagan and Modern Christian Symbolism
stated:
According to Egyptian mythology,
when the judges found Osiris [Nimrod] guilty of corrupting the
religion of Adam and cut up his body, they threw the parts into
the Nile. It was said that a fish ate one of these chunks and
became transformed.
Later, Isis [Semiramis] was fishing
along the river bank when she fished up a half-man, half-fish.
This sea creature was Dagon, the reincarnated Nimrod.
And Dagon is the representation of
Nimrod (of ancient Babylon) resurrecting out of the ocean depths
as a half-man, half-fish.
Why do we eat fish on Friday?
Why do we see fish frys on
Friday?
Did you ever wonder why practicing Catholics abstain from
eating fish on all days except Friday?
It is not because of the phonetics of
Fry-Day. The origin of Friday come s from Freya's Day. Freya
(Fria) is the Teutonic goddess of love, beauty, and fecundity
(prolific procreation) and is identified with the Norse god, Freya.
The following is provided by the
History of Origin of Fish Symbol:
In Greece the Greek word "delphos"
meant both fish and womb.
The word is derived from the
location of the ancient Oracle at Delphi who worshipped the
original fish goddess, Themis. The later fish Goddess, Aphrodite
Salacia, was worshipped by her followers on her sacred day,
Friday.
They ate fish and engaging in
orgies. From her name comes the English word "salacious" which
means lustful or obscene. Also from her name comes the name of
our fourth month, April.
In later centuries, the Christian
church adsorbed this tradition by requiring the faithful to eat
fish on Friday - a tradition that was only recently abandoned.
According to
The Catholic Encyclopedia: An International
Work of Reference on the Constitution, Doctrine, Discipline, and
History of the Catholic Church:
As to the ritual of his worship...
we only know from ancient writers that, for religious reasons,
most of the Syrian peoples abstained from eating fish, a
practice that one is naturally inclined to connect with the
worship of a fish-god.
More fish food for thought
In the Revelation chapter of the bible
it states the beast shall rise out of the sea:
And I stood upon
the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea,
having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns,
and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
Revelation 13:1
Perhaps this is responsible for the term
"Holy See" (Holy Sea)?
It is certainly no coincidence that the
entire planet abides by
Maritime Admiralty
Law, which is the law of the sea (Holy See).
As for the pope's miter, it's a fish hat
and its origin is tied into,
-
mythology
-
ufology
-
paganism
-
sun
