AL (ALLAH) EL ELOHIM “Let us” proves a Trinity?
Above EL/Nimrod father of the Elohim, later may have also been called Dagon by the Philistines. Pagan theology survived and migrated from one culture to another ethnic group. The names may have changed but in reality, they were the same ancient gods that were worshiped. Sometimes the myth or stories may have changed some, but usually stayed very much the same. Note that EL king of the gods has horns. Ancient strong men, priest, kings, and queens wore horns. Later people started wearing crowns to show that they had power or great authority. The horns also showed that the king was the top “stud” or “bull” in the kingdom a fertility symbol. This also became associated with the Devil. This is why Devils or Satan is often shown in art as having horns. The horns also showed mystical powers. El the horned god is the god of Witchcraft or Wicca. Today the high priest of a coven represents El. Inanna or Ishtar the great pagan mother goddess is represented by a high priestess of a coven. El the God the Father, his Son of God Tammuz, and Ishtar together formed the great pagan triad or Trinity. Many temples were built to these false high gods that ruled over all the other gods and men. Today humanity still builds temples/churches and worships the great pagan Trinity in them. Is there anything really new under the Sun? Even the Sun symbolizes the Trinity.
Encyclopedia Britannica tells us: “EL Semitic “God,” the chief deity of the West Semites. In the ancient texts from Ras Shamra (ancient Ugarit) in Syria, El [El the Bull or horned one] was described as the titular head of the pantheon, husband of Asherah,...He was usually visually portrayed as an old man with a long beard [like God the Father in Trinitarian art.] He was the equivalent of the Hurrian god Kumarbi and the Greek Cronus. Writers of the Old Testament used the word El both as a general term for “deity” and as a synonym for Yahweh.” Britannica also tells us this about Elohim: “Though Elohim is plural in form, it is understood in the singular sense. Thus, in Genesis the words, “In the beginning God (Elohim) created the heavens and the earth,” Elohim is monotheistic in connotation, thought its grammatical structure seems polytheistic. The Israelites probably borrowed the Canaanite plural noun Elohim and made it singular in meaning in their cultic practices and theological reflections.”
