Anunnaki Are In The Bible

By Charles McClellan

This is a study book, a research book. It is about Anunnaki in the Bible. The sources are given on each page as needed. It is a little over one hundred thirty-eight pages. The first few chapters are all about the evidence and sources, and as the book develops, opinions begin to be given built on that. And it is the evidence and sources that give the opinions their validity, such as Anunnaki are a race of extraterrestrials from another planet. If you want to know if ETs exist, you have got to read this book.

As you read, you will also find the Anunnaki are inextricably part of the overall message of the Bible. Ironically, it is the Anunnaki who give validity to that message. If you read this book, it will expand your ideas about reality in ways you probably never dreamed of because that is what learning about ETs in the Bible does.

About the Author

Acknowledgment

This book is dedicated to my wife. She was the one who inspired me to pursue the idea of whether Anunnaki even exist. I had no idea, over twenty years ago, that I not only would discover they did exist, but as I learned more about the Anunnaki, I would begin to think I should write a book about them. With God's help, and my wife's, here it is. We hope you enjoy it.

Foreword

This is a study book, a research book. It is about Anunnaki in the Bible. The sources are given on each page as needed. It is a little over 138 pages. The first few chapters are all about the evidence and sources, and as the book develops, opinions begin to be given built on that. And it is the evidence and sources that give the opinions their validity, such as, Anunnaki are a race of extraterrestrials from another planet. If you want to know if ETs exist, you have got, to read this book.

As you read, you will also find the Anunnaki are inextricably part of the overall message of the Bible. Ironically, it is the Anunnaki who give validity to that message. If you read this book, it will expand your ideas about reality in ways you probably never dreamed of because that is what learning about ETs in the Bible does.

Introduction

There are going to be parts of this book, that you will identify with, or want to remember. They aren't very long, some of them are single sentences, and there are parts it would be good for you to memorize, or go back to, or mark with a pen or pencil. Because when you read about a subject in the Bible and begin to get deep into it, sooner or later it's going to get you involved with main themes of the book like, the existence of God, love, angels, etc. Especially the subject of this book, extraterrestrials, which also, as I have discovered, becomes an unexpected main theme in the Bible. It takes a while to get there, because this book is about proving ETs really are, in the Bible. Along the way though, you are probably going to get involved with finding unexpected evidences of things you weren't (what's a good phrase here…) consciously aware of about those other main themes. So, you are welcome to have a pen, or pencil, or felt tip marker nearby.

First, We Lay the Groundwork

There are two Bibles we will be using throughout this book, the Authorized King James Version (AKJV) 1967, Collins Clear-Type Press for R. L. Allan & Sons Publishers, Glasgow, Scotland and the New International Version (NIV) Study Bible 1985, General Editor Kenneth Barker and four associate editors, Zondervan Corporation, Grand Rapids, Michigan, Library of Congress Catalog: 85-50591. On page xviii of the NIV Mr. Barker writes, My greatest debt of gratitude is owed to God for giving me the privilege of serving as General Editor of The NIV Study Bible. In that statement Mr. Barker acknowledges he is a Christian. And if you get on your computer internet, type in Kenneth Barker, hit enter, and then click on www. amazon.com/Kenneth L. Barker, you will get a page of books written by him. On the left side of the page is a picture of him, and below it the caption, About the Author, where it reads, Kenneth L. Barker (PhD, Dropsie College for Hebrew and Cognate Learning) is an author, lecturer, biblical scholar, and the general editor of the NIV Study Bible. That statement shows he has a PhD.

The first verse we will look at in the AKJV Bible is Isaiah 46:1, which reads in part, Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon the beasts… Bel and Nebo here are clearly described in the Bible as persons separate from their statues, idols, and images. Statues don't boweth down or stoop. Statues are solid; they don't bow or bend. There is clearly an aspect of Bel and Nebo that is not their idols. And when you look at that verse in the NIV Study Bible, the note at the bottom of the page reads in part, Bel. Another name for Marduk, the chief deity of Babylon. The name ‘Bel' is equivalent to Canaanite ‘Baal' and means ‘Lord.' bows down…stoops. In disgrace… Nebo. Nabu, the god of learning and writing who was the son of Marduk. Bel (Baal), Marduk, and Nebo (Nabu) are described by the editors of the NIV Study Bible (Barker, the general editor, having the final authority) as persons, and they are getting that description directly from the language of the Bible verse.

The editors also say Marduk and Nebo are father and son, which—according to the editors of the NIV Study Bible—signifies that Marduk and Nebo are living persons, in physical bodies. Statues, images, and idols don't have fathers or sons. They are just molded metals, carved woods, carved and chipped stones, etc. The son taught learning and writing; statues, images, and idols don't do that. And they bow down and stoop in disgrace. That is also something only persons do. Yes, their idols are written of also, in that they are carried away on beasts of burden, but the passage is not about their idols only, but of Bel (Baal) also called Marduk, and Nebo also called Nabu, as persons, father, chief deity, and son god as the NIV editors describe them.

There are some other relevant statements about the personhood of Bel (Baal), Marduk in The New Unger's Bible Dictionary, Merrill F. Unger and contributing editors, Moody Publishers, Chicago, Illinois, 2005, ISBN-13: 978-0-8024-9066-7, written by Merrill F. Unger, and contributing editors, Unger having the final authority. In the preface of the book, on p. iii, second paragraph, there is a sentence, saying, But above all Dr. Unger was a man of explicit Christian faith. And the back cover of the book describes him in part as, A.B., Ph.D., Johns Hopkins University. These statements show Unger as a Christian with a PhD.

Unger also considered Bel (Baal), Marduk a flesh-and-blood person. Under the category of Hittites, subheading Religion on p. 580, it reads in part, Marduk, the patron god of Babylon, is said on one tablet to have gone to the land of the Hittites where he sat on his throne for twenty-four years. And again on p. 270, under the heading Cyrus, subheading Inscriptions, Unger cites a clay cylinder on which is written in part, Marduk…sought a righteous prince, after his own heart, whom he took by the hand, Cyrus, king of Anshan, he called by name, to lordship over the whole world he appointed him…to his city Babylon he caused him to go… Statues, idols, and images, by themselves, just don't do that but persons do.

And there is another name for the Bel (Baal), Marduk of the Bible, Unger makes note of in his Bible dictionary. We find the name in the AKJV of the Bible (full reference on p. 1) in Jeremiah 50:2, where it reads in part, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces… (Her in this verse is another way of describing Babylon.) First, Bel, the person, is confounded. In The New Unger's Bible Dictionary, under the category of Gods, False, subheading Bel, on p. 486, it reads in part, Bel (…cognate of Heb. ba'al, ‘Lord'). The patron god of Babylon (Jeremiah 51:44) identified with Marduk, head of the Babylonian pantheon. The Hebrews called him Merodach… These verses and statements show that this same person now has four different names, Bel, Baal, Marduk, and Merodach. Second, Marduk, and, therefore, his son Nebo also are described by Unger as false gods (Nebo is listed on p. 488 as a false god). Third, looking up the meaning of Merodach; again, in Unger's Bible Dictionary, category of Gods, False, subheading Mero'dach, on p. 488, it reads in part, (me-ro'-dak; the Heb. name for the Akkad. Marduk). See Bel; Baal. So when Merodach is connected to Marduk that also means Baal is the same person as Bel, Marduk, and Merodach. This is being explained because the name Baal is not always the same person as Bel, Marduk, and Merodach as will be shown. But Bel, Marduk, and Merodach are always the same person.

Returning to Unger's definition of Merodach, it continues to read in part, …Merodach (Marduk,) was the head god of the Babylonian pantheon and the patron god of the city. Merodach's exaltation as head of the Babylonian pantheon is featured in the Babylonian story of creation, Enuma elish. He was worshipped by Nebuchadnezzar, (approx. 605–562 BC), the Assyrians, and notably by Cyrus the Great… (approx. 559–530 BC) … Jeremiah 51:44 and Isaiah 46:1 mention this deity (rendered Bel); also, Jeremiah 50:2 where it is rendered Marduk… (in the NIV). Fourth, Merodach in this Bible verse is described as a statue, idol, image, …Merodach is broken in pieces…, which means, depending on the context and wording of a verse in the Bible, persons are sometimes, not every time, described as idols, and idols are sometimes, not every time, described as persons, her idols are confounded! When you read in the Bible that inanimate stones, metal, and pieces of wood, etc. that have been carved, melted and molded, shaped, etc. into statues, idols, images, get confounded (or in other words that imply personhood), this is explained in Unger's dictionary, under the category of Idol, Image, p. 601 (the entire section is worth reading), where it reads in part, These are a rendering of a large number of Heb. and Gk. words and may be divided as follows… (2) those that apply to the idols or images as the outward symbols of the deity who was worshipped through them. And again, on the next page 602, under the subheading Forms of Idols, it reads in part, Among the earliest objects of worship regarded as symbols of deity were meteoric stones, then rough, unhewn blocks, and later stone columns or pillars of wood in which the divinity worshipped was supposed to dwell." Suffice it to say here that inanimate statues, idols, and images were worshipped as the false gods they represented. But this does not exclude the false gods themselves from, for at least some period of time, being living persons in physical bodies, separate from their statues, idols, and images, as the text of Isaiah 46:1 clearly shows, and the editor's note on it explains in the NIV Study Bible, and Unger describes them, specifically here, Bel, Merodach, Marduk, all as the same person in his book. We will look again at Bel, Merodach, Marduk, and Cyrus in a future chapter.

Now we will look at the name Baal as being several other different persons, which means the name Baal has a generic meaning to it. Unger defines Ba'al (Baal) on p. 131 of his book as lord, possessor. 1. A common name for god among the Phoenicians; also, the name of their chief male god. Then on p. 1,005 is the category Phoenicians, and under the subheading Religion, on p. 1,006 it writes in part, The important deities were El, the supreme Canaanite deity, and his son Baal." So because the name Baal was a common name for god among the Phoenicians, and the name of their chief male god (and Phoenicians are also called Canaanites, see p. 1,006, subheading Race, the first sentence reads, The Phoenicians were Semitic and were known as Canaanites as long as the Phoenician cities were important for their commercial activity.) and they had two gods: El, the chief male god, and Baal, his son, it is not always known who is being specifically identified as Baal, Baal or his father El in particular Bible verses. Also, on p. 485 in the category of Gods, False, subheading Ba'al, it reads in part, Baal was the son of El, the father of the gods and the head of the Canaanite pantheon, according to the tablets from Ugarit. He is also designated as ‘the son of Dagon' (Heb. Dagan ‘grain'), an ancient Canaanite and Mesopotamian deity associated with agriculture. Now we have Baal with two fathers because neither Barker nor Unger equate El and Dagon as the same person, which means definitely the name Baal is being described as two different people here also. Unger then writes, He was likewise identified with the storm god Hadad, whose voice could be heard in the reverberating thunder that accompanied rain. Now Baal is a name for a fifth person, Baal as the son of El, Baal as El, Baal as the son of Dagon, Baal as Hadad, and Baal as Bel, Marduk, and Merodach (as Unger defines Bel, Marduk, and Merodach on pgs. 2–4 of this book). Bel, Marduk, and Merodach all being described as the same person. Yet in these distinctions, there could be some synonyms. Baal as Hadad could also be the Baal who is the son of El, or Baal as Hadad could also be the Baal who is the son of Dagon. So for these reasons, we don't know who Baal is for sure when he is identified as just Baal. Now go to the AKJV Bible (full reference on p. 1 of this book) in Judges 2:13, where the verse reads, And they forsook the LORD and served Ba-al and Ash-ta-roth. The NIV Study Bible on Judges 2:13 has a note on the bottom of the page that reads in part, Baal. Means ‘Lord.' Baal, the god worshipped by the Canaanites and Phoenicians, was variously known to them as the son of Dagon and the son of El. In Aram (Syria) he was called Hadad and in Babylonia as Adad. Note the word variously. It is accepted that Baal is a name for Bel and Marduk, who are also called Merodach, all as the same person. But Baal is not exclusively Bel, Marduk, Merodach, who are described as the same person, and this may help explain why there are so many verses in the AKJV Bible that have the words Baal and Baalim (which is the plural form or word for the singular Baal), and it is in this area where Baal as a singular god or Baalim as multiple gods could be Bel, Marduk, Merodach (those three names as the same person), but we don't know what verse or verses for certain. If you go to the Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible by James Strong, Dugan Publishers, Gordonsville, Tennessee, first published in 1894, and look up Baal on
