Now, among the first inhabitants of the earth, Lucifer's first lie was "YE
SHALL NOT SURELY DIE (Genesis 3:4)." And, this same LIE of the Devil has
been used from Adam and Eve's day to our present time today. Here lies the
origin of the foundation of the falsehood of immortal soul, reincarnation,
all forms of Spiritualism, Astrology, Black Magic, Necromancy, Purgatory
and
Hell, the burning place of torment. The whole system of the Mystery of
Iniquity is based on this lie of the Devil, "Life after Death." But the
Bible is very clear: "THOU SHALT SURELY DIE." Genesis 2:16, 17.
Man does not continue to live after death as most have been deceived
into believing. "For the living know that they shall die: but the dead
know
not anything." Ecclesiastes 9:5.
As stated before, the myths about "Life After Death" can be traced in
the legends of Nimrod who became the great god of the Assyrians and
Babylonians [17]. At Nineveh, Austen H. Layard, from the British Museum,
uncovered the ancient city and discovered over 25,000 tablets describing
the
ancient history of the Assyrian Empire [18]. Layard found inscriptions at
Nineveh that said it was Ninus who built the city [10]. The word
"Nineveh"
itself means "The Habitation of Ninus"[20]. But it has been discovered
that
the name Ninus was just a deified name the early Assyrians called Nimrod,
because the Bible itself says it was Nimrod who built Nineveh (Genesis
10:11). Nimrod (Ninus) was said to have been killed, according to the
inscriptions, but his "spirit" became immortal and flew up to the Sun and
he
became "Beelsamon," "Lord of Heaven"[21].
In all forms of witchcraft, as in all modern forms today, the
doctrine
of "Immortality of the Soul" was the center of their whole pagan belief
and
wor****p. Pagans believed that when they died they took possession of one
of
the stars in Heaven. The ignorant pagans, like multitudes of Christians
today, believe that the spirits of the dead are "ministering spirits, sent
forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation." Hebrews 1:14.
