Jews

Since those now called Jews worship not the Holy Trinity–it cannot truly be said that the Jews worship at all–it needs must be discovered who they really do hold as their god.

The ancients identified the God of the Hebrews (those now called Jews follow after deiciders) as the Most High. According to Varro, as related by St. Augustine, & Tacitus:

Some say that [the Hebrew God] is Saturn. I fancy the reason of that is found in the sanctification of the Sabbath; for those men assign that day to Saturn. But their own Varro, than whom they can point to no man of greater learning among them, thought that the God of the Hebrews was Jupiter, & he judged that it mattered not what name was employed, provided the same subject was understood under it; in which, I believe, we see how he was subdued by His supremacy.

• St. Augustine, De Consensu Evangelistarum

[Some say their Sabbath] is a mark of respect to Saturn… because, among the seven stars that rule mankind, the one that describes the highest orbit & exerts the greatest influence is Saturn.

• Tacitus, Historiæ

But others, rather as Bacchus:

However, [the Jewish] priests used to perform their chants to the flute & drums, crowned with ivy, & a golden vine was discovered in the temple; & this has led some to imagine that the God thus worshipped was Prince Liber, the conqueror of the east.

• Tacitus, Historiæ

[Mœragenes] says, the time & manner of the greatest & most holy solemnity of the Jews is exactly agreeable to the holy rites of Liber; for that which they call the Fast [i.e. the Atonement] they celebrate in the midst of the vintage, furnishing their tables with all sorts of fruits, while they sit under tabernacles made of vines & ivy; & the day which immediately goes before this they call the Feast of Tabernacles. Within a few days after they celebrate another feast, not darkly but openly, dedicated to Liber, for they have a feast amongst them called Cradephoria, from carrying palm-trees, & Thyrsophoria, when they enter the sanctuary carrying thyrsi. What they do within I know not; but it is very probable that they perform the rites of Liber. First they have little trumpets, such as the Greeks used to have at their Bacchanalia to call upon their gods withal. … Some perhaps may surmise that these are mere conjectures. But there are other arguments which will clearly evince the truth of what I assert. The first may be drawn from their high priest, who on holidays wears his mitre, arrayed in a skin of a hind embroidered with gold, wearing buskins, & a coat hanging down to his ankles; besides, he has a great many little bells hanging at his garment which make a noise as he walks the streets. So in the nightly ceremonies of Liber (as the fashion is amongst us), they make use of musical instruments, & call the god’s nurses chalcodrystǽ. High up on the wall of their temple is a representation of the thyrsus & timbrels, which surely can belong to no other god than Liber.

• Plutarch, “Quæstiones Convivales” in: Moralia

Furthermore, Plutarch rejected, as some now hold, the identification of the God of the Hebrews as Typhon:

But those who relate that Typhon’s flight from the battle was made on the back of an ass & lasted for seven days, & that after he had made his escape, he became the father of sons, Hierosolymus & Judæus, are manifestly, as the very names show, attempting to drag Jewish traditions into the legend.

• “De Iside & Osiride” in: Moralia

It would seem to me fitting that those who rejected the Son of God would accept in their hearts the son of the devil. For the Lord calls Jupiter Satan (Apo. 2:13), & it is no secret that Liber is regarded as the son of Jupiter.

Arabians

Like the Jews, the Arabians cannot truly be said to truly worship, having neither temple nor priests. But again, since they believe not in the Holy Trinity—despite their claim to worship the Father, for no father is without a son—it needs must be said who they do believe in.

Venus, as Chabar, is the goddess of the Arabians. They previously worshipped her with Bacchus, as Orotalt:

[The Persians] have also learnt from the Assyrians & Arabians to sacrifice to Venus Urania. Venus is called Alilát by the Arabians. … The only gods whose existence [the Arabians] acknowledge are Liber & Urania… Their names for Liber & Urania are, respectively, Orotált & Alilát.

• Herodotus, Historiæ

[The Ismaelites] used to be idolaters & worshipped the morning star & Venus, whom in their own language they called Chabár, which means great. … This stone [in their Caba] that they talk about is a head of that Venus whom they used to worship & whom they called Chabár.

• St. John of Damascus, “De Hæresibus” in Fons Scientiæ

To this day in their magnification they say “allahu akbar,” which means, “god is Chabar.”

Freemasons

Jupiter, as Jabulon, is the god of the Freemasons. The name is a polymorphic:

• Iao, blasphemously the Lord.
• Bel, Assyrian Jupiter.
• On, Ægyptian Bacchus.
