The Solar Nature of Yahweh

Reconsidering the Identity of the Ancient Israelite Deity

Daniel Sarlo

In The Solar Nature of Yahweh: Reconsidering the Identity of the Ancient Israelite Deity, the original nature of the chief god of the Hebrew Bible, Yahweh, is reexamined. Daniel Sarlo challenges the current consensus that Yahweh was initially a storm god by examining the relevant biblical texts and comparing them with Ancient Near Eastern texts, ultimately arguing that
Yahweh was a solar deity. The implication of this research is that Yahweh was not a minor god who gradually accumulated characteristics to become the head
of the ancient Israelite pantheon, but rather a significant god from the very beginning, or at least before the inception of the United Monarchy.

The name Yahweh was imported from the south, late in the 2nd millenium
BCE. Integration of Yahweh with the Canaanite god Bull El was an
ongoing project for the next several centuries. I've never read
anything about a solar origin, though, but it's plausible.

what do you expect from an infidel heathen? He is just plain full of
shit, and if you read the real Bible, you will find out, your not
suspossed to listen to them. And doing Business with them is a big no no.
You will just get God angry.

OK, I have, on this full moon night, reverted to Goddess,
who I define as the ruler of the region all/everything,
as the chair/moderator, in my most recent attempt at
magickally instigating a global new age, which I am
reporting on on the thread "full moon leap of faith”
on alt.religion.druid, for anyone who is interested,
which I deem more likely if you notice effects, such
as improved sexual compatibility.

All I know is Yahweh and Jehovah were extraterrestrials. So were Anu,
Marduk, Enki, Enlil and many others.
As for a solar/sun god, I think Ra was more that.

LOL.

Earth's true history has been suppressed and falsified by the corrupt. Some
day the general population will get a big shock.

Jehovah was always a sea god. This clear from Sanchuniathon's Phoenician history and the redactions of it by Philo, Porphyry and Eusebius (who
identify the Hebrew gods with those of the Phoenicians because of their
names and similarities and those of the Greeks by history and
chronolohy), where he is referred to as Pontus the son El who is
identified with Kronos. Pontus is the same god as Yam Nahar (River Sea)
or Yaw in the Baal Epic. That the Phoenicians had a sea god is also
confirmed by Herodotus since Carthage was a Phoenician colony in North
Africa know as Libya (though technically today this is Tunisia).

If you identify El with Helios since both are in the same generation of Titans/Elohim then you have a sun god there.

From Sanchuniathon the original Hebrew/Phoenician pantheon consisted of
Elyon (Most High) the father of Baal Shamen/Epigeius (Sky God), the
father of El (Kronos) the father of Jehovah (Yam Nahar/Yaw/Pontus). El
was the brother of Atlas/Tsebaoth (God of Armies/War God), Eetylus,
Dagon (Zeus-Arotrios, fertility god), Astarte (Aphrodite), Ashera
(Rhea), and Baaltis (Demeter & Dione combined, fertility goddess after
whom the festival of Beltane (May Day) is named).

Jehovah's brothers were Sadidus/Shaddai (Almighty God), Muth/Mot
(Underworld God), El the younger, Zeus Belus/Dushara, Apollo/Hubal, and Typhon/Suduc/Sutekh/Set all by Ashera, and Iedud by Anbret.

His sisters included Anath/Anat/Athena and Persephone/Kore.

Baal-Hadad/Adodus protagonist of the Baal Epic was Jehovah's cousin
being the son of his uncle Dagon. He is also referred to as a son of El
and is the brother of Demarus the father of Melkathrus (Herakles). It's possible that Baal-Hadad's mother was the same mother as Demarus, a
concubine of Baal Shamen given to Dagon by El and El could have slept
with her beforehand, as could Baal Shamen, so Baal-Hadad could claim any
of the three as his father.

Baal-Hadad/Adodus is equivalent to Hades and Adonis/Adonai, both being underworld gods, due to Baal-Hadad's journey into the realm of Mot
(Death). Jehovah (Yam-Nahar/Yaw/Pontus) can also be considered as an
underworld god for the same reason.
