I found this ancient Assyrian prayer to Ashur (of Ashurbanipal, the Grand High-Priest, Emperor of Assyria, the Pontif of Nineveh, in the 7th Century B.C.) posted on another forum, and I just thought it sounded familiarly like the prayers in later centuries in the Bible, so I thought people might enjoy reading a prayer that may be a precursor to the prayers we grew up with, if you have not heard it before.

...these are nice words...but they are only words. You`d be surprised though what they can inspire in you when you once allow yourself to hear the distant call to all Assyrians down through the ages to Never Forget. I felt them 20 years ago for the first time in my life...didn`t see these actual words till later...but I FELT them...they had been inside of me and passed down from the ancients..with NO Jew substitutes intruding in between...throw your priests away..they are lying to you. Stop saving THEM and revive Ashur in your hearts...look what he meant for our people when we knew who our god was...look what happened to us when we were torn away from him...if you see no difference...then those are JUST nice words to you.

"O Father of all creations, who watches over all beings,
O Lord who determines the orbits of heavens and earth,
Whose command is not set aside,
Who holds fire and water, and guides all souls.
What god reaches thy perfection?
Who is glorified in heaven? Thou alone art glorified.
Who is exalted on earth? Thou alone art exalted.
Thy word proclaimed in heaven, angels prostrate themselves.
Thy word proclaimed on earth, the oracles kiss the ground.
Thy word blows like a storm in the sky, food and drink flows.
Thy word settles down upon the earth, vegetation grows up.
Thy word spreads over the flock and cattle, life increases.
Thy word who can comprehend it?
Who is like unto thee O Lord? There is none, but Thee.
Supreme in heaven, Supreme on earth.
O Lord of the exalted high ones,
Thy word has no rival, thy divinity is beyond compare."

...this is a prayer to a god Paul Younan...a most devout Judo-Christian and not ashamed of it as he would be to love Ashur still, consigned to a perch in hell...him and by extension those "fools" and bloody pagans who loved him...as he loved them right back. He had either the decency to take it back soon after..a vestigial Assyrian decency..or he was just covering his tracks when he realized his Jewness got the better of him, in public...a very Jew thing to do.

...One of these days he might just surprise himself and move on to Ashur...if not...who needed him?
