Course XXVII - Teaching 11: Sargonides

Usually the second Assyrian-Semite era of this Iranian people is called Assyria; but there is a great difference between these two eras and between both peoples.
We have seen Assyrians were of Aryan-Semite descent and had assimilated early black peoples under their control.
They grew up and became powerful and wise, but also underwent times of decadence.
They did not worship the Unique God; priests were not messengers between the Highest Being and men; their powerful temples, reservoir of warlike energy, were just galleries with statues of gods of any form and dimension; their kings were not direct descendants of the mythological king Nino, but indulged in vice and apathy.
Meanwhile Semitic provinces, under Assyrian control, had become strong, hated pagan customs and wished to worship again the only true God.
God created a Semitic man who was an indomitable warrior, with great courage and strength, called Sargon.
He actively encouraged his brothers of race against the kings, a war ensued, and gradually he defeated and brought them under control, becoming Lord and King in the entire Assyrian territory.
That is why he is called “Sargon the Usurper”; the era of Assyrian Sargonides, of Semitic origin, begins with him.
This man renewed the people and cities, founded new cities, crushed rebellious provinces, destroyed idols and re-established the worship to God revered in spirit and truth.
Until his assassination, he lived amid war and reformation. After dissolving the barrier of Egypt and Elman against Assyria, he created an immensely great kingdom.
After conquering Chaldea and plundering Babylon for the second time, he built seven-step temples in which the holy tree was revered; this tree represented the seven eternal manifestations and was a copy of the mysteries of goddess Ishtar and of god Belos of Babylon.
Ancient pieces of clay represent the king Sargon standing, before the holy tree, his head inclined as in adoration.
This holy tree represents manifested God, according to Sargon’s priests.
Its first part is of three branches, and represented the lower or animal manifestation; the second part, of red branches, represented life of man; other branches, of light blue color, represented the existence of intermediate worlds in which past warriors dwelt.
The rest of superior branches, of yellow color, represented the abode of angels or superior spirits. Fifth, sixth and seventh branches are image of the God Trine and Invisible.
This strong Semitic race later has to leave its teachings, symbols and writings to the Moabites and Hebrews, and by the latter all this would reach our days.
