(Please read from the start)
In order to proceed with taking a look at Evidence number 4 we have on our hands here, we need to understand what is a satanic child sacrifice ritual. The next part is not for the faint of heart.
The Phoenicians were accused of worshiping Baal and Moloch = 2 variation of Satan – sort of speak. Moloch doesn’t even exist in the Phoenician pantheon or Phoenician deity list (check out Ugarits archives). So this doesn’t make him a Phoenician deity. As for Baal, it’s an honorific, confused and used as the name of Satan. Sometimes it is also used in the names of Phoenician kings = a theophoric type of name. There are MANY “Baalim” ( = plural) in Phoenician, not ONE. As I’ve said before, when reading the few Phoenician texts that we have, we can put “Baal” into 4 different categories:
1 - We have Baal pointing to the mortal kings of the Phoenician City-states + nobility (regardless if they are good or bad).
2 – We have Baal pointing to the mortal foreign kings + nobility (regardless if they are good or bad).
3 - We have Baal pointing our Heavenly Father = the Great Creator God.
4 – We have Baal pointing to many youthful thunder yielding type of warrior gods – or deities in general.
Strangely enough, when you replace the word Baal in all of these cases with the world Lord, it fits perfectly.
So what do we know from the Jews mostly, on how the Phoenicians (not the Carthaginians) sacrificed children?
1 – The Phoenicians sacrificed their first born males.
2 – The Phoenicians sacrificed in an open air sanctuary which had a Jewish name Tophet.
3 – The Phoenician did a ritual called = passage of fire – which was described/ interpreted as throwing the child while it was alive in fire.
4 – The Phoenicians sacrificed to Moloch (putting the child in the hands of the statue) or to Baal.
Do we know something else from the Jewish sources on how the Phoenicians sacrificed children? I’m going from memory here, so I might have forgotten one or two. If anons want to bring them to my attention, then please do.
Then other sources started to appear gradually in history, starting with the Greek, then the Romans….to reappear in somewhat modern history, starting in the 18th century, to get some steam in the 19th century, to reach its climax in the other half of the 20th century till now. The rather modern sources relied on the ancient sources = Greek and Roman, and leaned on them using them as ancient proof the Phoenician practiced human sacrifice. They took these old sources as a base to restart/relaunch the attack and destroy the public image of the Phoenicians all over again.
