There's some things I want to make sure we're doing class as always.

So we're going to do this ahead of time.

A little bit is just at the beginning.

So 46, verse 1, you're going to encounter them talking about Bell.

Bell is another name for Marduk.

He's the really head of the Babylonian Pantheon.

He's the chief god.

He's a warrior god and so on.

And I hear the name Bell in a lot of the names you're familiar with because they

just like we hear like, Yaa or Yahoo or something like that, which ends up being Jha or

uh in English.

In Hebrew names, right, Isaiah, Elijah, and so on,

because they're putting God's name in there.

They did that in other cultures.

So when you hear like Beltasazar, that is bringing in the name of Bell or Marduk, right?

So this is one of their head gods.

They mentioned another one here.

Nebo, it's usually written Nebu or Nabu.

I don't know why they wrote it Nebo here.

You should think of Nebo.

It's the mountain in both Jordan and in Utah County.

But anyway, it's really Nebu or Nabu, and this is another Babylonian god that you is important.
