Who exactly is/was “Tammuz” and Why did/would the Children of Israel choose to give such a name?

SHALOM!

I must emphasise that we, in this Ministry do not worship “Tammuz” or “Ba-al” or ” “Semiramus!!!”

We would appreciate it if you do not send us comments asking us to get out of “Tammuz” worship before first taking the time to read and understand fully what we have communicated through writing (on this website.)

 

It was in the Month of Tammuz that a lot of bad/evil acts happened over the years.

It was the month of the Golden Calf as well as Weeping for the death of Tammuz, etc.

It was the month in which the spies rebelled against YAH, Korah, Dsthan and Abiram rebelled against YAHUVEH GOD by rebelling against Moses.

Many Children of Israel lost their lives during this month as a result of not worshipping YAHUVEH as their only GOD as well as not having complete emunah/faith in YAH ALmighty!

Note that when YAHUVEH GOD created HIS Calendar, HE gave nominal names to the days of the week and months of the year. HE numbered them. The names we see today were given by mankind over time, for some reason. Some of the names, for example  “Tammuz” should never have been given on YAH’S Calendar but some how they were.

The Book of Ezekiel chapter 8 gives us a clue as to why the name was given to the fourth month.

Ezekiel 8:6 Tree of Life Version (TLV)

6 He said to me: “Son of man, do you see what they are doing, the great abominations that the house of Israel is committing here, that drives me far off from My own Sanctuary? But you will see even greater abominations.”

Ezekiel 8:14 Tree of Life Version (TLV)

14 He brought me to the door of the gate of Adonai’s House, which was toward the north. Behold, the women sat there weeping for Tammuz.

“Tammuz” is cupid who shoots love arrows to people hence matching people up on and around the evil/demonic “Valentine’s Day.”

 

“Tammuz” is Satan!

“Tammuz” is a form of Satan.

The Holy Biblical Scriptures reveal to us in John 10:10; 1 Peter 5:8, etc that Satan appears to mankind in various forms. We explore this in our teaching on “Understanding John 10:10 and 1 Peter 5:8 ” Click here for more information. 

  • Also click here to learn how Satan appeared to Abraham, Sarah and their son Isaac in order to deceive them into evil regarding the sacrifice of Isaac unto YAHUVEH GOD.

 

  • Satan appeared as a serpent to Adam and Eve to deceive and lure them into sinning against YAHUVEH GOD ALmighty, etc. Sadly, he succeeded.

 

  • Satan appears as “Father Christmas” or “Santa Claus” during Christmas time.

 

  • Satan appears as the Christmas tree during Christmas time. See the Book of Jeremiah.

 

  • Satan appears as the baby in the cradle as well as his parents during the December Christmas time.

 

  • Halloween is all about Satan!

 

  • Easter is all about Satan!

There are many other examples.

According to historical records, “Tammuz” was a ‘sun god’ who took over after his father, Nimrod passed on. He was the son of Nimrod and Semiramus/Ishtar. The three of them formed the fake and unholy trinity while on earth. They are also the sun and moon gods. Sadly, their influence is still seen today infiltrating in every religion on earth. He has another name in some other historical records depending on which country it was recorded. The three are worshipped at Christmas, Easter, Halloween/Helloween, Valentine’s Day, etc. Sadly, they are worshipped by Christians and Jews unknowingly. There are also those who worship them knowingly.  The worship of Ba-al (a.k.a Nimrod, Semiramus and Tammuz) had its roots in the Roman Catholic Church and all its daughters.

It is my belief that the Children of Israel/Jewish people gave this fourth month the name, “Tammuz” because of the influence they had from the Canaanites and others.

 

Additionally, having read the TORAH, the Children of Israel seemed to have read Ezekiel 8 and elsewhere and believed that it was okay incorporate “Tammuz” into their worship.

Remember that Jezebel the wife of King Ahaz of Israel heavily practised idolatry and as a result brought YAHUVEH GOD’S Judgment upon the Land of Israel, for example, 3 years of no rain hence famine?

She wasn’t the only one!!!

The Canaanites had so many gods as revealed by Rebekah/Rebecca in the book of Jasher/Upright Man after Esau’s marriage to some Canaanite women. AV/ABBA YAHUVEH also revealed this mostly throughout the Books of Deuteronomy and Joshua, etc.

“Tammuz” was and still is an abomination unto YAH Almighty but for some reason, the Children of Israel saw how the Canaanites worshipped their gods, the main one being “Ba-al” and so they began to copy them despite the various warnings from Moses and Yahushua (a.k.a Joshua) the son of Nun.

 

In the process, they started practising idolatry, that is to say, mixing YAHUVEH GOD with idols or small gods, such as “Tammuz.” As time went on, idolatry became right in their viewpoints. They hence broke the very first of the TEN COMMANDMENTS.

The evil worship of Nimrod/Ba-al, Semiramus/Ishtar and Tammuz was gradually incorporated into their worship of YAHUVEH GOD ALmighty by the People of Israel. The Children of Israel even went as far as making a statue or more in YAHUVEH GOD’S Holy Temple. It seems according to Ezekiel 8 that they knew that what they were doing was wrong because YAHUVEH GOD used the word, “secretly” when describing the idolatrous acts. In fact, Prophet Ezekiel had to make a hole in the wall in order to see their idolatrous actions well without their knowledge of his presence.

 

See the following warning:

Deuteronomy 12:1-22:20 Names of God Bible (NOG)

The Proper Place to Worship

12 Here are the laws and rules you must faithfully obey in the land that Yahweh Elohim of your ancestors is giving you as your own. You must obey them as long as you live in the land.

Completely destroy all the worship sites on the high mountains, on the hills, and under every large tree. The people you’re forcing out worship their gods in these places. Tear down their altars, crush their sacred stones, burn their poles dedicated to the goddess Asherah, cut down their idols, and wipe out the names of their gods from those places.

Never worship Yahweh your Elohim in the way they worship their gods. Yahweh your Elohim will choose a place out of all your tribes to live and put his name. Go there and worship him. Bring him your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, one-tenth of your income, your contributions, the offerings you vow to bring, your freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your cattle, sheep, and goats. There, in the presence of Yahweh your Elohim, you and your families will eat and enjoy everything you’ve worked for, because Yahweh your Elohim has blessed you.

Never worship in the way that it’s being done here today, where everyone does whatever he considers right. Up until now you haven’t come to your place of rest, the property Yahweh your Elohim is giving you. 10 But you will cross the Jordan River and settle in the land Yahwehyour Elohim is giving you as your own property. He will give you peace from all your enemies around you so that you will live securely. 11 Then Yahweh your Elohim will choose a place where his name will live. You must bring everything I command you to that place. Bring your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, one-tenth of your income, your contributions, and all the best offerings you vow to bring to Yahweh12 Enjoy yourselves in the presence of Yahweh your Elohim along with your sons, daughters, male and female slaves, and the Levites. (The Levites live in your cities because they have no land of their own as you have.) 13 Be careful that you don’t sacrifice your burnt offerings wherever you want. 14 Instead, sacrifice them only at the place that Yahweh will choose in one of your tribes. There you must do everything I command you.

15 In whatever city you live, you may slaughter and eat as much meat as you want from what Yahweh your Elohim has blessed you with. Clean and unclean[a] people may eat it as if they were eating a gazelle or a deer. 16 But never eat the blood. Pour it on the ground like water. 17 You may not eat the Lord’s offerings in your cities. Those offerings are: one-tenth of your grain, new wine, and olive oil; the firstborn of your cattle, sheep, or goats; the offerings you vow to bring; your freewill offerings; and your contributions. 18 Instead, you, your sons and daughters, male and female slaves, and the Levites who live in your cities must eat these in the presence of Yahweh your Elohim at the place Yahweh your Elohim will choose. There in the presence of Yahweh your Elohimenjoy everything you’ve worked for. 19 Don’t forget to take care of the Levites as long as you live in your land.

20 Yahweh your Elohim will expand your country’s borders as he promised. You will say, “I’m hungry for meat.” Then eat as much meat as you want. 21 If the place Yahweh your Elohim chooses to put his name is too far away from you, you may slaughter an animal from the herds or flocks that Yahweh has given you. Eat as much as you want in your city. I have commanded you to do this. 22 Eat it as you would eat a gazelle or a deer: Clean and unclean people may eat it together. 23 However, be sure you never eat blood, because blood contains life. Never eat the life with the meat. 24 Never eat blood. Pour it on the ground like water. 25 If you don’t eat blood, things will go well for you and your descendants. You will be doing what Yahweh considers right.

26 Take the holy things and the offerings you have vowed to bring, and go to the place Yahweh will choose. 27 Sacrifice the meat and the blood of your burnt offerings on the altar of Yahweh your Elohim. The blood of your sacrifices is to be poured out beside the altar of Yahweh your Elohim, but you may eat the meat. 28 Be sure you obey all these instructions I’m giving you. Then things will always go well for you and your descendants because you will be doing what Yahweh your Elohimconsiders good and right.

29 Yahweh your Elohim will destroy the nations where you’re going and force them out of your way. You will take possession of their land and live there. 30 After they’ve been destroyed, be careful you aren’t tempted to follow their customs. Don’t even ask about their gods and say, “How did these people worship their gods? We want to do what they did.” 31 Never worship Yahweh your Elohim in the way they worship their gods, because everything they do for their gods is disgusting to Yahweh. He hates it! They even burn their sons and daughters as sacrifices to their gods.[b]

32 Be sure to do everything I command you. Never add anything to it or take anything away from it.

 

 

In conclusion, I must emphasise that we, in this Ministry do not worship “Tammuz” or “Ba-al” or ” “Semiramus!!!”

We would appreciate it if you do not send us comments asking us to get out of “Tammuz” worship before first taking the time to read and understand fully what we have communicated through writing (on this website.)

Joshua 24:15-17 Names of God Bible (NOG)

15 But if you don’t want to serve Yahweh, then choose today whom you will serve. Even if you choose the gods your ancestors served on the other side of the Euphrates or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you live, my family and I will still serve Yahweh.”

16 The people responded, “It would be unthinkable for us to abandon Yahweh to serve other gods. 17 Yahweh our Elohimbrought us and our ancestors out of slavery in Egypt. He did these spectacular signs right before our eyes. He guarded us wherever we went, especially as we passed through other nations.

 

 

 

Now look at the following:

Ezekiel 8 Tree of Life Version (TLV)

Abomination in the Temple

8 In the sixth year, on the fifth day of the sixth month, I was sitting in my house. The elders of Judah were sitting before me. There the hand of Adonai fell on me. 2 I looked, and behold, a form resembling fire—from the appearance of his waist downward, fire; and from his loins and waist upward, something like the appearance of brightness, as glowing metal. 3 Something like the form of a hand stretched out, and took me by the hair of my head. The Ruach lifted me up between the earth and the heaven. He brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the gate of the inner court facing north—where the idol that provokes furious jealousy was.

4 Behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, like the vision that I saw in the valley. 5 He said to me: “Son of man, lift your eyes toward the north.” So I lifted up my eyes toward the north. Behold, north of the gate of the altar, was this image provoking jealousy in the entrance.
6 He said to me: “Son of man, do you see what they are doing, the great abominations that the house of Israel is committing here, that drives me far off from My own Sanctuary? But you will see even greater abominations.”
7 He brought me to the door of the court. When I looked, behold, a hole in the wall. 8 Then He said to me, “Son of man, now dig through the wall.” When I had dug through the wall, there was a door. 9 He said to me: “Go and see the wicked abominations that they do here.” 10 So I went in and saw, behold, every detestable image of creeping things and beasts and all the idols of the house of Israel, engraved on the surrounding walls. 11 Standing there before them were 70 men of the elders of the house of Israel, Jaazaniah son of Shaphan standing in their midst, each man with his censer in his hand. A thick cloud of incense went up.
12 Then He said to me: “Son of man, do you see what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in his chamber of his carved idol? For they say, ‘Adonai does not see us. Adonai has forsaken the land.’”
13 He said further to me, “You will see still greater abominations that they are doing.” 14 He brought me to the door of the gate of Adonai’s House, which was toward the north. Behold, the women sat there weeping for Tammuz. 15 He said to me, “Have you seen this, son of man? You will again see even greater abominations than these.”
16 So He brought me into the inner court of Adonai’s House. Behold, at the door of the Temple of Adonai, between the porch and the altar, were about 25 men, with their backs toward the Temple of Adonai and their faces toward the east—and they were bowing in worship eastward toward the sun.
17 He said to me, “Have you seen this, son of man? Is it too light a thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations they practice here, that they must also fill the land with violence and provoke Me still more? Look, they are putting the twig to My nose! 18 Therefore I will indeed act in fury. My eye will not spare you nor will I have pity. Though they cry into My ears with a loud voice, I will not hear them.”
