Assumption is Ashur: a Dream "Being Made Strong"

I read on page 26 of Col. J. Garnier's The Worship of the Dead, or the origin and nature of Pagan idolatry and its bearing upon the early history of Egypt and Babylonia (original 1909, Kessinger Publishing's Rare Reprints), which I highly highly highly recommend to anyone EXTREMELY interested in the history of religion, that a Mr. Hislop remarks that the word "ashur" is the passive participle of a word which in its Chaldee sense means "to make strong." This would make the passage, "Out of that land, being made strong, he (Nimrod/Nin) went forth and builded Nineveh" (Genesis 10:11 parentheses mine). Nin-neveh means "the habitation of Nin."

A pictograph of the god Ashur of Nineveh is on the cover of Vic Alexander's translation of Genesis from the ancient Aramaic. The son Nimrod in his power and authority is rising from the sun disk (his father Cush) surrounded by flames of glory. The god Ashur is "being made strong." Well, I apply that to assumption as an element in the nature or "law" of God. There is that which we desire because we lack. And we want. Because it does not exist in manifest reality, we need salvation--its provision. We submit the need to God by the faith that we HAVE that provision. It is received. We are doing what we would do because it DOES exist in manifestation. At least in our minds it does, and THAT is assumption. We appropriate that manifestation in our imagination, and fall asleep in that state.

That assumption, BEING MADE STRONG, hardens into fact (is builded) through the orchestrations of invisible influences and compulsions of God's spirit, our common consciousness. But it doesn't work unless it is done, and the only way to do it . . . is to do it.
