Where is thumb of God Marduk?
Marduk is non other than Satan, the same as Zeus, Jupiter, of Roman/ Greek pantheons of idol gods, and Thor of Norse mythology. They all present themselves as god of light and redeemer but are nothing but False gods. This same idol god Marduk was the reason why those vicious people of Ancient Babylon built that Tower of Babel as a sign of defiance to the real God of Hebrews and Christians, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Seek for the Truth, search for God.
Actually, Marduk is probably the same as Nimrod, the builder of Babylon and the Tower of Babel, who was deified by his wife Semiramis after his death. People worshipped him because he represented power, and man controlling his own destiny without any help from the God of his great grandfather Noah. When the languages were confounded his name was changed to many different names for the same person. All pagan religions are offshoots of this man and his wife, Semiramis who became the queen of heaven.
We know Marduk was not the “Creator,” because he was “given” or “took” power…..
That would not have been necessary, had he actually “created” anything.
