Looeamong capitalizes on Ashtaroth’s war on Baal: After Baal’s independent move on the Israelites made Ashtaroth “jealous and filled with vengeful wrath”, the Triune head, Looeamong, joined the fight for he knew their strike would benefit his efforts to eliminate them both.

In Ashtaroth’s declaration of war on Baal, she planned to put her Persians against Baal’s Greeks. She said, “Whether I despoil heaven and earth”, “If I cannot possess them (the Greeks), I will destroy them, so that no God shall possess them.” Yet, at the same time, Looeamong set out to “spoil them both”; he set out to inspire the mortals of the countries and cities of the Middle East “shall bow down no more to Baal and Ashtaroth, forever.”

First, Looeamong supports Ashtaroth’s Persians to weaken Baal: Looeamong sends his “angel army of warriors” down to the “middle kingdoms” (Persia) to Cyrus (Cyrus the Great). He (1) inspires and helps Cyrus expand his Persian empire, which included taking the Greek city-states (backed by Baal) and (2) supports Cyrus in the undoing/ending of Baal’s Babylonian occupation of the Israelites’ southern kingdom of Judah (highlighted in Table 4).

Next, Looeamong switches sides and supports Baal to weaken Ashtaroth: Looeamong switches to Baal’s side and supports an “alliance with the Argos’yans” (Grecians/Greeks) and a “march against Parsi’e”, which likely corresponds to the historical event of 499 BCE when the Greek city-states rebelled against Persian rule (Ionian Revolts).

About 10 years later, the Ashtaroth’s Persians tried to re-subjugate Baal’s rebellious Greek city-states, but due to Looeamong’s support of the Greeks, Ashtaroth’s Persians were unsuccessful. This likely corresponds to the historical event of 490 BCE when Darius the Great led the “First Persian invasion of Greece²⁰“.

In mainstream history, when Looeamong-backed Cyrus the Great led the Persian empire in defeating the Babylonians, it ended the “Babylonian Captivity” of the southern kingdom of Judah. Cyrus became a notable figure in Jewish scripture as a savior because he supported and encouraged Israelites to return to their homes, along with their “images of gods and their sacred vessels”, and build the Second Temple in Jerusalem ²¹.
